LANIER COUNTY IS
FAVORED BY SENATE
Mtfttun. Passed Tuesday by Vote of 43 to
3. Macon Wins In First Vote
on Capital Removal.
Atlanta, (is., July 10—Scuator J. B
T. Bowden, of WayeroHs, by outplayini
any possible opposition iu tbe Senate
and maneuvering outo tbe calendar foi
hun«di<.te action a bill that counldn’l
have Is-en in sight this week, ha B -put
through in the sborteat time and by a re
markable vote a bill to create anotbei
«nr county. The bill proponing Laniei
county, with Milltowu as the county site
passed the Senate by a vote of 43 to3.
The capital removal issue had Us first
battle iu parliamentary play, which
* lilted in the advocates being sustained
•n a motion to table by a v;ote of 29
with the opposition mustering only 14
in their effort to force the bill on pas
•age after the ordinary time for adjourn
asent. %
Atlanta newspapers claim that the bill
larks ju-t three votes of the two-thirds
•f membership ueoessary. The advocates
•f the bill declare they have proven, on
the test made, that they lack only one vote
and assert this will be on their side when
the final vote comes.
About the lobbies it is more or less gen
erally conceded that the chances fo r pas
sage of the tax equalisation amendment
to the constitution is practically Jiopelest
at this session, and the signs arc that it
will not even be pressed, but will be al
lowed to go over to nextyear in ordei
that more educational work may be done
•a it.
After an extensive hearing given both
aides the House committee on constitu
Uonal amendments, by a vote of 0 to 10
decided to report unfavorably the state
suffrage constitutional amendment rcso

reinstatement.
If you have permitted your premium to

Deserved Tribute to Confederate Leader
But Retains Fritehle Fable.
That schools of the North are still
teaching the Barbara Fritchie fable '$%
fact we learn from the Ashbura Farmer,
whose Associate Editor aays:'
Our hostile bugles have long gong
truce, and the grass grows green on the
battle fields of Gettysburg and Shiloh.
A newf geneation has grown up since
the civil war, who only know that Grant
and Lee were Americans and pa trio ta,
and that tbei r ancestors fought together
to make America free and independent
Nothing occurred in half a century to
wipe out the memory of the civil war, like
the eventa of the laat two years when the
tons of the north and of the south foaght
side by side in defense of a common conn-
try.
The active participants in the ancient
struggle between the North and the South
have nearly all crossed the river and
rest under the shade of the trees. And
their descendants have for the most part
forgotten and forgiven the causes snd re*
•ults of the civil war.
In the two years I have spent in
Georgia, I have seen none of the hostility
to Northern people which was very mani
fest when 1 was here 35 years ago.
A history recently published in New
York for the use of the children in the
schools contains the following:
“On the 30th of May when our North-
x mothers were bringing violets snd
forget-me-nots to cover the graves of our'
soldu r dead, the women of Virginia J
gathered about a lonely mound, in a quiet
church yard to sing songs and strew
flowers over the grave of Htonewall Jack-
son. And as the women sung and the
preacher prayed, a white dove in said to
have flown from some starry height, and
lit on the marble slab at the head of his
grave.
"It may be a pleasant fiction, but shall
>t we of tlie North accept it as s voice
from our soldier dead to their liviag
brothers, to bind the gulf states fast to
heir moorings and swear around the altar
of our common country that henceforth
we are brothers. And who more worthy
than Stonewall Jackson to usher in the
new era. To us of the North he was a
"rebel," and at Cedar Run and Chlca-
mauga, at Fredericktown and the Wilder
ness, he led his anny up the intiiuitaius
and into rivers, flaunting his flag in the
face of the boys in blue. But was he
sincere and a Christian? Answer Bar
bara Fritchie, from under the old Stars
and Stripes you waved all day at Fred
ericktown, take up the cry mothers and
daughters of the Shenandoah Talley,
echo it from the Blue Ridge to the Alle*
glmnies ye farmers and artisans—
Stonewall Jackson was a child of the
Everlasting God."

The entire community was shocked and
grieved by the sudden death of Mr. 6
M. Cottle, Sr., last Friday afternoon.
Mr. Cottle was a Confederate Veteran,
a member of the Baptist church and an
old and highly esteemed resident of this
community. He lived on a farm near-Xj
Tjr for a number of years, but moved tc
Ty Ty a year or two ago, on account oi
hi 4 health and age. He was always lively
and in a good Rumor, sp those who knew
him hardly realized that he was far from
well. Friday, only a little while before
died, he wau down town, tilk’ng and
joking as ns ml, tiu) his last words were
said jokingly, l! * wife no** *ed that he
taked ill mU I tf ‘>le of it. He said, well
I ate tfro peaches but wasn’t going tc
tell you about it.” She left the room tc
get something to relieve him, and whet
she returned he was dead. The immfdi-
ate cause of his death may have been
acute indigestion, but that probably hast
ened bis death only a little while. H<
was buried in Tiftou Saturday, Rev. Mr
Durden, of the Tifton. Baptist church,
conducting the funeral service.
Mr. Cottle was twice married, his last
wife surviving him. He leaves three Bon*
E. J., S. M. Jr., and three daughters;
Mrs. E. E Clark, Mrs, W. E. Hale anC
Mrs. J. L. Woodward.
Mr. Cottle's first wife died several
years ago and was hurled la a graveyard
near Ty Ty creek ou a place now belong-
iug to N. N. Malcotn. On Monday, fol
lowing Mr. Cottle’s burial her body was

Atlanta; July 17.—Atlanta candy stores

before, and Atlanta candy manufactnr-
are laying tbeir plans for a 100 pei
cent increase of business next year, all
account of bone-dry prohibition. Geor-
has been a dry state for a long tim'e,
; with other parta of the country wet
up to the first of the month liquor drink
ers managed to get tbeir share.
' It ia a well known fact that a liquor

cest articles known in the state of Geor

use It, driven by their thirst to pay ex-
horbitant prices, declare it Is disastroni

•In direct ratio as the consumption ol
Uqnor decreases, candy and other confec

liably reported that one Atlanta candf
manufacturer made a net profit laat yeai
of $350,000. His entire plant cottlf
probably be-replsced for $500,00.
other concern ia reported to have clean

same value. But even these enormously
profitable results are going to grow Ir
future, It is predicted, as the gradna*
disappearance of liquor and other klco-
holic stimulants produces a growing con
sumption of candy and sweets.
