PROHIBITIONISTS TO MAKE
FIGHT IN THIS LE GISLATURE
What Transpired at First Meeting of House Tem¬
perance Committee Indicates Vigorous Program.
That the friends of prohibition in¬
tend to jwage a vigorous fight during
the present session of the general as¬
sembly was conclusively demonstrat¬
ed at the first meeting of the house
committee on temperance, which was
held Thursday afternoon in the speak¬
er’s room.
A bill introduced in the house on
Wednesday by Mr. Hill, of Dooley,
conferring upon prohibition counties
of the state the power to regulate the
traffic in intoxicating liquors, and pro¬
hibiting the delivi of same in such
counties by com; n carriers, was
considered and fav< bly rocommend-
ed, and will be reported to the
house.
A bill by Mr. Covington, tlie of Col¬
quitt, to prohibit manufacture,
sale, giving away of* keeping for sale
of any intoxicating liquors in the
State, was made the Bpeclal order be¬
fore the next meeting of this
committee. Consid< tre tion of the
bill was delayed until then in
order that Maj. W. R. (Hey¬
ward, attorney for the Atl mta
Brewing Alee Company, might be
heard in opposition to the measure.
The same direction was given the
bill by Mr. Covington, to establish an
asylum for inebriates.
Mr. Covington’s State prohibition
bill is identical in its provisions with
the Willingham bill, which passed
the house some six years ago by a
majority of 27 votes, but was defeat¬
ed in the senate. There is every
prospect that a stubborn fight will
ensue between the * prohibitionists,
aided by anti-saloon league and tem-

Address,- The Phybiciahs
peranoe associations, on the one hand,
and the liquor interests and those op.
posed to drastic prohibition laws on
the other hand.
Mr. Hill’s bill, which was recom¬
mended by the committee for passage,
is intended to completely shut intoxi-
eating liquors out ol prohibition
counties of the State and those which
may hereafter adopt prohibition un¬
der the general local option law. By
its terms ordinaries of counties and
county commissioners are clothed
with authority to impose an occupa¬
tion tax upon express conijtanies and
common carriers bringing intoxi¬
cating liquors into prohibition coun¬
ties.
By permission of the committee,
over which Chairman Wright, of
Floyd, presided, Maj. W. R. Hey¬
ward, attorney for the Atlanta Brew¬
ing A lee Company addressed the
committee in opposition to (he HMM**
ure, which he characterized as vio¬
lative of every principle of lottal op¬
tion.
Mr. Hill, tlie author of the bill, ex¬
plained its purposes, and declared that
the bill but carried out the purposes
of local option, permitting such pro¬
hibition counties as desired to do so
to secure the complete prohibition of
the liquor traffic. This bill, Mr. Hill
argued, confers upon connties, towns
and municipalities the power to im¬
pose a license which may be. for rev¬
enue or prohibitive, and the power to
impose penalties for the violation of
any ordinance adopted under the pro¬
visions of the bill, or the failure on
the part of common carriers to pro¬
cure such licenses.
WHITE BABES BEING

Sensational Charge Made bv Dr.
White at Macon.
INVESTIGATION WILL BE MADE
Dr. White Allegee that He Hae Die-
covc.red Some Thlnge of Shocking
Nature and Detectives and Lawyers
Are Put to Work.
Macon, Ga., June 30.—Thgt many
white babies have been given away
by their mothers to negro women in
Macon is the startling announcement
made by Dr. J. L. White, patitor of the
First Baptist church of Macon.
Six children have been rescued al¬
ready and Dr. While states that sev¬
eral other similar cases have been
brought to the attention of himself and
members of his congregation.
The half dozen babies already dis¬
covered have been placed In the Hep-
zibah orphan home. The other will
be placed there immediately.
Dr. White in an interview says that
moral and social ulcers of the most
loathsome nature have been unearth¬
ed in the city of Macon. He says
conditions have been discovered here
I hat could not exist in heathen coun¬
tries, where cannibalism is not prac¬
ticed.
Attorneys and detectives have been
employed and will make a thorough in¬
vestigation of the Macon slums. In
every case the children discovered
have been found to be illegitimate.
8ALOONS CLOSED TIGHTLY.
Many Kansas City Saloons Move to
the Missouri Sjds.
Kansas City, Kans., June 30.—Every
saloon in Kansas City, Kansas, was
tightly closed Saturday and at the
club houses of the Elks and Eagles,
no liquor was sold.
Assistant Attorney General Trick-
ett’s threat to destroy the buildings
used ae joints had proven effective.
During the night the bar fixtures and
stocks of liquors were removed from
many places to the Missouri side.
A dozen saloons in the suburbs of
Armourdale, Argentine and Rosedale
still remained open, but they may
eventually be closed. These latter
were operated by a Missouri Brewing
company, now in the bands of a re¬
ceiver and Attorney General Trick-
ett wished to feel his ground before
proceeding against them. The fix¬
tures from one saloon owned by this
company had been. destroyed by the
sheriff, however, notwithstanding the
threats of the owner to secure * re¬
straining order froip tbe federal court.

BARTLETT DREW HIS
KNIFE ON SOUTHWICK
Georgia Cong s*mtyi Figures
In Sensational Incident.
DREW KNIFE BUT MADE NO MOVE
Friends Interfered, However, and Pre¬
vented Further Troute >:»—Bartlett
Says He Drew Knife Involuntarily.
Southwick Disclaimed- Reference..
Wasblngtou, June 30.—What promis¬
ed to be a serious personal encounter
between Representative George N.
Southwick, of New York, and Charles
L. Bartlett, of Georgia, wa.t prevented
Friday in the house by the incession
of friends. ^
Mr. Bartlett, bolding a knife, told
Mr. Southwick the latter dare not say
he "lied" or the (Bartlett) would cut
him.
Mr. Southwick sought to pass a res
olutton increasing the pay of the tal¬
ly clerks. Mr. Bartlett, a member of
the committee on accounts, asked if
the resolution bad teten passed on by
the committee ofrthe house. The
speaker Informed him that it had not.
Mr. Bartlett objected. Southwick
pleaded with Bartlett to let the reso¬
lution through, but the Georgian, ®**
determined that it should not pass.
Backing away from Southwick he
took a position on the Republican side.
Then Southwick made a remark that
there had been-a good deal of lying
in the committee on resolutions and
made a movement toward Bartlett.
ThiaBMpg hjjjteaded. he says, a personal assault
was Mr. Bartlett who had a
silver penknife In, his hand, remark¬
ed that Southwick dare not say he
lied or he would cut him. Friends
interefered.
As the reault of a controversy with
Mr, Southwick, of New York, there
came very near being a personal en¬
counter between the two men. Bart¬
lett drew a penknife. Representa¬
tives Williams,- of Mississippi,
James, of Kentucky, rushed In be¬
tween the two men and further trou¬
ble was averted.
Speaker Cannon appealed to Ihe ser¬
geant alarms to preserve order, and
that official walked among the excited
members, and finally restored order,
judge Bartlett says he did not “draw
a knife” on Mr. Southwick, though he
said It might be true that he Involun¬
tarily drew his penknife when Mr.
Southwick made a request for unani¬
mous consent to pass a bill increasing
the pay of some house employes.
Mr. Barlett who Is a member of the
committee on accounts, asked if the
resolution had been reported by that
committee, saying that the Southwick
resolution should not be passed unless
some other similar ones were passed.
Mr. Southwick, who had previously
come very near having an encounter
wiih Champ Clark, mumbled some¬
thing about, there being too much ly¬
ing about this thing anyhow, and
moved toward Judge Bartlett. What
else was said could not bk heard is
the gallery. The two men were teen
together. Judge ftartieu was
draw a pocket knife, and open it. He
made no move toward Mr.
but members who were near
in, and th# two men were kept
Finally after order was restored
Bartlett endeavored to say he
ed to unparliamentary language,
Mr, Southwick tried to say thdt
unparliamentary language was
or intended. Exactly what each
was drowned by tbe speaker's gavel.
At the night session of the
there was much confusion, some of
attributed to tbe presence of a
bowl full of wine in one of the
tee rooms. It Is said that Mr.
wick wm one of those who had
visiting the punch bowl earlier in
evening. 8outhwick had
to Interrupt Champ Clark and for
time it looked as if there would be
clash between these men.
It was not long after this that
Southwick and Judge Bartlett
their clash. Later Mr. Southwick
claimed referring to Judge
year on each car operated on the line.
It is the general opinion that tbe
.
new line will be charged tlie same'
gross tax for each passenger coining
into or leaving Atlanta as the city
line, and this is on a 5 -cent basis.
For a couple of blocks the new line
will probably have to use the city
street car line, and this will be either
arranged by the two companies or
the tracks will be condemned by legal
process.
Everything is working smoothly
and rapidly toward the completion
of the Hue that will make the ninety
miles between Atlanta and Macon
tlie most thickly populated section of
the South.
PROPHET SNIDER PREDICTS
A SCORCHER FOR JULY.
Ha* Discontinued the Horning Star
and Cones Back to 9*. --------
..: i
PROFESSOR ALBERT LEO SNI¬
DER,
Griffin's Great Original Weather
Prophet.
I’rof. Snider predicts July will be
hot and dry and damaging droughts
will occur In various sections of tlie
country but of course there will be
some scattered showers with thunder
storms, but the general outlook for
July is much hot dry weather. Re¬
member it will be bo hot in July .
that heavy thunder clouds will rise
and there will be wane heavy local
downpours of rain with some rat¬
tling thunder storms. Yes, in feet,
the thunder storms will be violent
and terrific, for July will be frill of
heat and the only relief I can prom¬
ise is scattered showers with thunder
storms which will cause temporary
eooler weather, also be followed by
hot and dry weather agate.
Now just a word about tbe Morn¬
ing Star.
The Morning Star flew low,
The Morning Star flew high;
But like ail high fliers,
it had to come down
And Is now gone to the wall.
If I go in the paper business again
I will probably name my paper the
North Pole or the Griffin Hustler,
for the Morning Star didn’t shine
bright enough w suit me.
Captain Kell is to eut a big dash
on the 4 th of July and 1 predict
scattered showers with thunder
storms. Now, Captain Kell, if a se¬
vere thunder storm would occur on
Camp Northen, wouldn’t it jar you?
