Then th“ hill which, by unanimous consent action was postponed until to- d»y was again taken up. The bill has passed tho House and Senate and pro vides that no liquor shall be sold any where in tbe State within three miles of any church or school bouse. On yesterday this bill came up for tbe pur- pnse of agreeing to some Senate amend ments. Ltut an amendment was offered in the House by Mr. Broadnax to ex empt from the provisions of tlie act dis tilleries operating under tbe United States law. Speaker Howell iuled the amendment with another one offered out of ordnr according to parliamentary practice which prohibit ed an amendment to the bill as it had been acted upon by both bouses. This morning Speaker Howell con firmed his decision of yesterday and quoted two sections from Cashing's mai ual in regard to the matter. The amendments being ruled out of order, much discussion arose as to agreeing to the senate amendments. After a great deal of discussion the previous question was called and the senate amendments adopted. After tluf governor’s signature of this bill, intox icants can oniy be sold in incorporated towns, for theie is hardly a spot in Georgia but that it is nearer than three miles to some church or school house, and if there is the farmers will go to work and build one.
