DEVOTED TO THE MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHER
VOLUME 40.
CANTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNI
FIFTY THOUSAND
Breach In Dry Fight;
Legislature at Work
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 4.—The
appropriations and prohibition
bills reported out by the com
mittees went to their second
reading in the House of Repre
sentatives Thursday, while the
Yeomans-Dorris-Hopkins pro
hibition measure was referred
to House Judiciary Committee
No. 2.
The bill Was referred to the
committee a few minutes be
fore noon and adjournment,
after almost every member of
the House had explained his
vote. The result was a narrow
majority for the Hopkins fac
tion of 10. A number of mem
bers explained that they were
following an established cus
tom of permitting the introduc
er of a bill to name the commit
tee to which he wished it re
ferred.
The morning was taken up
with a debate on whether the
bill should be referred to the
Temperance Committee, as di
rected by Speaker Burwell, or
should go to the Judiciary Com
mittee, as requested by Yeo
mans, of Terrell, who introduc
ed it. Although Representa-
tive Blackburn, of Fulton, with
drew his opposition to the bill
going to the Judiciary Com
mittee early in the session,
members on the prohibition
side debated the question heat-
^^ ^we mufu^Ss foUri 1
end of the debate on the bill a
motion to adjourn to Friday
was adopted. This was done
to give the committees, which
meet Thursday afternoon am
ple opportunity to report the
bills by Friday morning.
Fractional Breach Widens
If anything, the breach be
tween the Fullbright and the
Hopkins factions widened dur
ing the debate of the morning.
Representative Fullbright was
strong in his defense of the Tem
perance Committee and Hop
kins was equally as bitter in de
nouncing it and impugning its
motives.
There was a good deal of de
bating and slamming around
in the House and the net result
was the withdrawal by Repre
sentative Blackburn of his o-p
position to the Hopkins prohi
bition bill going to the commit
tee, followed by a warm speech
by Mr. Hopkins, explaining
why he preferred that his
measure be considered by the
House Judiciary Committee in
stead of the House Temperance
Committee.
“When I came up here,” said
Mr. Hopkins, “I had restored
confidence in the Temperance
Committee, but now I have lost
it again. I have no confidence
in that committee. I do not be
lieve, it will do the right thing
by my prohibition bill, or by
any other real prohibition
Pleasures. And I don’t want
the Temperance Committee to
get a chance at it.
“I have a majority in this
House,” Mr. Hopkins declared,
“and I am going to see that my
bill carries.”
Goes After ‘Proponent Lawyer.’
Mr. Fulbright then collabor
ated with Mr. Stark, chairman
of th eTemperance Committee,
in a hearty defense of the com
mittee, and Mr. Stark —naming
no names—went after a “pro
minent lawyer.”
“The trouble with this radi
cal wing,” he said, “is that they
are running madly after the
doctrines and sentiments of a
celebrated lawyer, well known
for his operations in South Car
olina as well as in Georgia.
They are following him blindly
and I do not see why so much
more regard should be had for
him than for this committee.”
