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.” 1 KILLED, TWO Martin French Dies in Slide at Creighton, Ga., Mine. 4* ***++++ ♦ ft THE REST COUNTY IN NORTH ,,w ■ J *■. v '.’&L _ , _ BEGINNING NOV.
