LEGISLATORS DISCUSSING SLATON - HART FISTICUFF ATLANTA, Ga., August 4.—Members of the house and senate are still dis cussing, almost to the exclusion of a’i other topics, the attack by Repre sentative Winn, of Hart county, on for mer Governor John M. Slaton for enter lirg the house of representatives yes terday. Representative Winn is the man who opposed and filibustered against the resolution at the outset of the session indorsing President Wilson’s stand against the German empire. He was severely criticised in that connection but the criticisms uttered against him for his attack on former Governor Sla ten are tenfold more severe. A dozen members of the house have been heard to declare that while they held no brief for former Governor Slaton, they would have demanded Representative Winn’s immediate expulsion from the house, if there was any procedure they jcould follow. The rules of the house extend the rules of the house, among others, to I former governors of the state. When former Governor Slaton entered the house on yesterday, Representative I Winn demanded the reading and en forcement of Rule 177. This is the rule prohibiting unauthorized persons from 1 coming into the hall. Spectators fre iquently get through the doors and a I member demands the enforcement of Rule 177. This is the rule prohibiting unauthorized persons coming into the hall. spectators frequently get through the doors and a member de imands the enforcement of the rule. The [fact that an ex-governor is privileged j to come on the floor was apparently I well known to everybody except Rep- I resentative Winn, so no attention was [ paid to the reading of the rule so far as former Governor Slaton was con cerned. After thirty minutes or such a mat ter, former Governor Slaton left the hall. As he was leaving, Representa- I tive Winn rose to a question of per sonal privilege and declared that he ' desired to resent on behalf of every man and woman in Georgia the insult I offered by a certain individual, who had just taken advantage of his privil ege to desecrate the house by his con., temptible presence. Before he could proceed further, Speaker Holder’s ga vel fell with a crash, and he ruled Rep resentative Winn out of order. Rep resentative Atkinson, of Fulton, ob tained recognition and moved amid a general uproar to expunge the remarks of the gentleman from Hart from the record. The motion was unanimously and vociferously adopted. Just before the house adjourned, Representative Conger, of Decatur, in troduced a resolution severely rebuk ing Representative Hart for the “in sult to the intelligence and decency of the house of which he has been guilty by his venomous and ill-advised re marks and conduct.” Representative Winn undertook to defend himself. Speaker Holder stop-I ped him with the statement that his j remarks were out of order because a former governor has as much right on; the floor as a member of the house, and that if he had known what Representa-, tive Winn was going to say he would; rot have recognized him, and that his remarks tresspassed the rules and tresspassed the courtesy due his fel-j low members. Representative Winn. then declared that he was sorry it he j had tresspassed the courtesy due his j fellow members. Representative John j son, of Bartow, interrupted him with the proposal that his apology be ac cepted, and the Conger resolution be i withdrawn. Instantly there were loud I shouts of “No!” throughout the hall. I Continuing Representative Winn de clared that to the extent of his tress-i pass upon courtesy, he regretted his remarks, but nevertheless they were a deliberate expression of the feeling, in his heart and for so expressing him- I self he had no apology to make. The Conger resolution was then put to a vote and was unanimously and vociferously adopted. Former Governor Slaton and Repre sentative Winn engaged in a fist fight at the Kimball House yesterday after noon. Slaton was the aggressor, Winn pointed out, and roundly slapped his face. Many legislators commended the former governor’s act. ANNOUNCEMENT. I We wish to announce to the ladies of Americus and surrounding terri tory that our Mrs. W.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER. ■ BUND EDUCfITOB VISITS WEST fRONT > WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE, August 4. — (Stiff Correspon . uence of The Associated Press) —Blind . himself, and head of the British Na . tional Institute devoted principally to . men blinded in the war, Sir C. Arthur . Pearson, of London, was recently a most interesting visitor at the British front. His enthusiasm for all he ■ “saw” was unbounded, and he declar ed he would take back to the sight r 1 less men at home new words of en couragement as to how “their” army was carrying on. .! Sir Arthur enmoed tne Vimy Ridge, and to his great delight some German shells broke so close they splashed , him with mud and the party had to take temporary refuge in a dug-out. | “A man doesn’t have to see to know when to duck, does he,” laughed Sir Arthur in relating the incident that ! night. “I also find,” he added, "that it doesn’t take long to know when they are going and when they are coming.” That is always a great source of en , tertainment to visitors in the fighting 'zone. At first the shells that are go ' ing over from the British guns swish /along through the sullen air with a noise that is quite startling enough, but the sight-seer “fortunate” enough 'tc hear a German missile “coming in” soon finds its sings a somewhat dif ferent song. Sir Arthur aptly describ ed it. “Our shells,” he said, “go with a bang and whiz; the Germans come ov er with a whiz and bang. It all de -1 pends on the position of the whiz.” I Sir Arthur was deeply impressed by the work of the guns. He remained 1 with some of the batteries for a long time and listened to their noisy mut 'terings with a keen appreciation of all | that was going on about him. He was I particularly delighted to hear above the reverberating echoes the songs of l larks—always to be remembered by 'the soldiers on this front as their ev er-cheerful companions of trench and j battle fields. I Trudging over some of the older bat tlefields of the Somme, walking thru the trenches, and standing in the high 'er places where the panorama of bat ? tie spread below him, Sir Arthur drank in the atmosphere of the war —the meaning of it all. He “saw” the “tanks” in repose and heard them at drill, he stood outside a prison cage ar.d visualized the round-capped Ger mans within the barbed wire barriers. He asked a guard if any of the pris oners ever attempted to escape. “Escape, sir?”, replied the old ser geant; “why, sir, you couldn't drive ’em away; they likes being prisoners, sir. they does.” I The ruined cities of the Somme, Ba ' paume and Peronne, affected Sir Ar thur deeply > “I wished the whole world —all but Ute Germans who already know what they have done —could come and stand I in the grand squares of these cities as II did to-day,” he exclaimed, “and see' 'and feel the desolation and the wanton destruction. They are ghost-like,, these cities of the dead. I knew them on motor trips in other days when they. [were alive and I could see, and I could picture the scene to-day as if I 'looking at a paititing. The Germans-, lwill find, however, the day of reckon-, 'ing is near at hand. I shall take back I words of great cheer to the men at St. 1 Dunstan’s." | Entertained by officers of all ranks, I Sir Arthur said his days and nights at' the front had been filled to overflow- ■ ing. No visitor ever followed the | workings of the vast British army ma- ! i chine with quicker, keener tion and understanding than he. He. I was gratified to find in the army a ( similar interest and appreciation in ' the work at St. Dunstan’s for the blinded soldiers and sailors. | Sir Arthur told of the resentment he felt when unthinking people referred to St. Dunstan’s as a “home” for the i blind” as if the blind were to be segre i gated there for the rest of their days. “It is not a home for the blind,” he protested, “and 1 do not believe in ‘homes’ for the blind. St. Dunstan’s is an institution where those who can not see are helped to equip themselves t) retake their places in the ordinary walks and affairs of life. Often des pondent at first, they are set some simple task and when they find how easily it is done, a spirit of regener-' at ion seems to come over them They I catch the spirit of accomplishment and thereafter nothin? is too great for them to attempt. “One of the most despondent men [with whom we have had to deal was a blinded ‘Tommy’, who had been a sort cf steamfitter, or house heating ex pert. None of the ordinary trades ap-| pealed to him and he felt as if he were [ altogether done for. Suddenly 1 asked him how he would like to go back to |his old job. He shook his head sad- 1 ly.
