Special to Recorder.
Atlanta, Dec. 17.—The Senate
passed the Twltty bill this morning
—the Simon pure, the original
Twltty bill, exactly aa It paased the
House, and exaetly as it was in
troduced.
The play of the opponents of the
bill has been to delay aatlon, and
finally amend it in the Senate so
that it would have to go book 1 to the
House for action, and finally ad
journ beofre the bill conld beoome
a law.
But this morning, when the bill
came up under the head of* unfin
ished business, amendments were
scaled off in one-two-tbree order.
First, the committee amendments
were killed—those proposed by
Twltty himself. Then the other
amendments were laid out just as
fast as they could be voted upon.
The naked bill was left finally.
This Is a copy of it:
Ah Act to. declare all obligations
to pay attorney’s fees, in addition
to the Interest specified therein,
upon any note or other evidences
of Indebtedness, void and of no ef
fect, and to prohibit the collection
of the same, and for other purposes.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of Georgia, and
•t Is hereby euaoted by authority of
the same, That from and after the
passage of this Act, all obligations
to pay attorneys fees upoqaoy note
or other evidences of indebtedness,
In addition to the rate of interest
specified therein Is hereby declared
to be absolutely void, and no court
shall have power to enforce suoh
contraot and agreement to pay
snob attorney fees, unless aiplea or
pleas be filed)by the defendant,
and not sustained.
Sec. 2. Belt furtherenaoted by
authority aforesaid, That aliTaws
and parts of laws in conflict with
this Act be, and the same are,
hereby repealed. I
The vote stood j Ayes 25, Nays 14.
The bill was passed.
The action of the friends of this
measure was a surprise to its oppo
nents, but It was the only safe way.
It leaves the bill in the hands of
the Governor, His signature will
make It a law; his veto would kill
the bill.
Much of the oredlt for the passage
of the bill is due Senator Elling
ton, of the 29tb, the “Alliance par
liamentarian” of the Senate.
THE APPROPRIATIONS.
The appropriation bill was taken
up In the Senate, by seotlons, and
put upon lta passage.
Seetlon 1, about exclusive sal
aries, was passed as it came fro pa
the House.
Section 2, about salaries of the Ju-
dlolary, was passed In the same
way, without dlsousslon.
See. 8, concerning the salaries
of the legislature and its attaohees,
was passed.
Then See, 4, that’s where the
fight opened up, first on the branch
college appropriations. The bill as
It oomes up for action, provides for
branoh colleges at Dahlonega, MU-
ledgeville, TbomatvUle, Cutbbert,
HamUton, 'Forsyth, Waynesboro,
Thomson, Sparta, Brunswick,
GreenvUle and Balnbridge.
These appropriations were op
posed by Senators Glenn, Irvine,
Nnnnally, Zachary, Hodges, Cul
pepper and Lane.
They were favored by Senators
Mitchell, Williams, CaUaway,
Harp, HUI and Cabanisa.
The Senate then adjourned for a
night session.
IN THB HOUSE.
The bill of Atkinson, of Coweta,
Increasing the number of fertilizer
inspectors from six to ten, was
passed. No Inorease of appropria
tion for salaries la provided for—
the ten to require only as much as
six bkve heretofore.
Calvln’e blU, requiring the In
spection of all ootton seed meal,
was passed. The appointment# of
the inspectors provided fot is to be
made by the State Chemist.
JUDO a FORT APPOINTED.
Judge Alien Fort, of Americas,
was to-day appointed Railroad
Commissioner by the Governor.
The appointment will be confirmed
by the Senate to-morrow.
THE BRANCH COLLBOB*. ♦ i*'
The branoh coUege fight, in the
Senate ended In that aeeMea ef the
appropriation bill beiag Pt-referred
to the finance committee. The only
thing certain Is that the Senate
will have a great many branoh col
leges, or none at all.
OLD LESSEES’ MEETING.
The State road lessees hold an
Important meeting here to-morrow.
It Is the last meeting before the
expiration of their lease. There Is
nothing special to say about the
Western & Atlantic, so far as the
legislature lseoneerned.
THE ZACHARY RESOLUTION.
The Hoose committee consider
ed the Zaohry resolution, and ev
erybody had an opinion to express.
But so diverse were these opinions
that there was no attempt to get
together. To-morrow the resolu
tion will be read the second time
and the committee will consider It
again.
CLIFTON FOR CONGRESS.
The talk to-night Is the Con
gressional boom of Representative
Win. Clifron, of Savannah. His
friends are boosting him for the
position of Congressmen from the
State-at-large In the event Georgia
Is found to be entitled to another
seat.
Thousands of mothers bless the
name of Dr. John Bull for Invent-
Ine his celebrated Dr. Bull’s Worm
Destroyers. Children tease for
them and they never fall to do
good. *
THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.
A Small Vote Polled at the City Elec
tion.
The city,electlon is over.
And of coqrse the Democratic
nominees were elected without op
position. vf.-"'
Hon. John R. Felder Is Mayor.
Mr. D. K. Brinson is Clerk and
Treasurer. Messrs. J. A. Daven
port, J. E. Bivins and W. K.
Wheatley are the new Alderpien.
That’s the tleket nominated by
the primary, and elected yesterday.
Mr. Felder received 153 votes.
Mr. Brinson reoeived 166.
Mr. Bivins 164.
Mr. Davenport 156.
And Mr. Wheatley 155.
That’s all there is to say. The
election was as quiet a one as was
ever held In Americas. There was
not the slightest excitement at any
time, and everything passed off
with the greatest quietude. One
could hardly tell that it was elec
tion day, and many of the voters
registered forgot that it was the
day to oast their ballots. As will
be seen by the votes given above,
few voted, and the day was devoid
of Interest. The bar rooms were
closed, and bnt for a few noticing
this fact, they would not have
known tuat the eleetlon waa taking
place.

by Mr. Atkinson on behalf of Ashe

A heavy snow storm has bsen

deep.
Advise to Mothers.
Mbs. Winslow’s Soothing Syr
up should always be used for chib
dren teething. It soothes the child,
softens the gums, allaye all pain,
cures wind colic, and is the beat
remedy for diatrbum. Twenty-five

Judge Allen Fort it a railroad
commissioner.
Appointed yesterday by Govern
or Northen.
That’s the good news The Re
corder gave the people yesterday.
For two or three days thla ap
pointment has been Impatiently
awaited, and when known yester
day general rejoicing was the re
sult.
All were looking for It, and ex-
peeted it. But there Is nothing
like being certain.
This registers onee when the
South Georgia dead line was
crossed, and a South Georgian given
a position. It was an excellent
move of our new Governor, and
one that is appreciated. For South
Georgia should certainly be repre
sented, and of all the men who
should be a railroad commissioner,
Judge Fort leads the list.
That he Is an able, intelligent and
Intellectual gentleman Is admitted
by all. That he Is the man for the
position Is a potent fact to all who
know anything of his work.
No man In the8tate knows more
of railroads and their relatlonf tothe
people than he, and no onefs more
capable of filling the position with
justice to all. He is the man who,
seeing the neoesstty, Introduced
the resolution In the 1 legislature
creating suoh a commission, and to
whom lta organization Is doe.
In the House hie highest powers
were devoted'to the passage of this
bill, seeking to have this arbitrator
organized. Sncceas mat his efforts,
and since that time,"n'before, he
has studied the problem relating to
It. No better versed man in rail
road affairs oan be found, and he Is
above all others the man for the
plaoe.
Yesterday, the news was sent out
by The Recorder, and the Judge
waa kept busy accepting congratu
lations until long after night.
The Recorder adds Its voice to
these, and congratulates Judge Fort
on hie appointment, South Georgia
and Americas as being represented,
and the State on having suoh an
able man to serve It.
A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY
OfMaJ. T. M. Barlow by the Farmer**
A NOVEL IDEA.
A Whole Amerlous Barroom
Given Away.
Folks usually don’t objeot to tab
lag a free drink.
That Is, some folks.
Well, they will soon have an op*
portuntty to get a whole barroom
for nothing.
The Allen House bar, fixtures
and all, will be given toone person
wbloh msy be you, at an early
date.
The proprietor desires to sell oqt,
and will adopt a novel plan of doing
so. Instead of telling ont at onoe
at wholesale, he will do so gradu
ally to his friends and customers.
Here’s bis idea. To every per
son who bays, a check will be given
of the amount of bis pure bass.
When $5 worth of oheoktare gotten
they oan be returned, and atiokat
will be given him. Then at the
end of a given time, say two or
three months, the present proprie
tor will resign, and the bar room
with all its contents tamed over to
the holders of these tickets. These
can then eettle it amonjg themselves
as to which one Is the owner. Thoj
oan then riffleArihprdo what they
please with it. It will be theirs
Jointly, and they can settle It in
any way they desire aa to who la to
have it.
It’s a new idea, and one that will
