the Opposition Down'.
ATLANTA, GA., July 24.—(Special.)
—Prom the opening of the morning
session the minority began to filibus
ter against the passage of the prohi
bition bill. Although comprising but
one-fifth o fthe membership of the
body, the antis acted as solidly
with 'as unbroken and determined a
front as the prohis. Their secret con'
ferenoe, at which plans for the de
laying of the final action on the bill
was taken, had united them as a unit
and under the leadership of Dunbar,
Hines, Adams, and Barrow, the lat
ter two from Savannah, they made
good their threat that they could and
were made by the prohis and a spirit
of more liberality and fairness exer
cised toward the minority.
The same spirit of stiff ncckedness
that has marked the prohis the past
tew days seemed- to have taken pos
session of both sides to the greatest
fight on the liquor question th&t any
-Southern 'State has even seen In .its
-legislative halls. Following their
leaders the little, band of antis, with
utter disregard of the attacks or ap
peals of the prohis, continued dila
tory tactics throughout the entire day,
demonstrating c oncluslvely that
well handled minority, even though
■mall, can be made very efficient ma
chine for the hampering of legisla
tion. All day endless roll calls used
up the time of the House. The gal
leries were crowed with both prohis
and antis, the former vastly predomi
nating and although held well in' or
der, a feeling of Intense dlsguest and
disapprobation was apparent among
them at the tactics which seemed to
threaten to mb them of their victor}’
for today at least, to defer for another
week the final passage of a bUl that
will make Georgia dryer than either
Karfaaa or Maine.
As hour after hour passed and It
became apparent tha tthe tactics of
the antis, with their interminable roll
news of some definite action by the
House. Telegrams have been pour
ing In from every town In the State
throughout the day, from both wets
and drya, seeking Information as to
the progress of the battle. Mady
telegrams have come to the minority
urging them to stand firm and fight
the battle to the death. The vigor
ot the fight the minority la putting up
la a surprise to the prohis, who had
somewhat anticipated that In view of
the tremendous majority In favor of
the bill the opposition would be weak
and be abandoned atfer a few ''hours'
fight maintained more to "set them
straight with their friends than with
any hope of final success.
Tactics of the Minority.
LOTSiOF
GOOD
%■
A count*, of beautiful white
goods remnant/will be thrown out
Monday. In them you will find a
great many desirable styles, just:
such'goods as you are needing now
and the prices are make to move
them in a hurry, so hurry up if you
want the pick.
The tactics pursued throughout the
day by the minority have been as fol
lows.
A little local bill, of no especial con
sequence, would be Introduced ' and
put upon -lta first rea ding. As each
member of the minority voted on this
bill he would occupy the time limit,
three minutes, for an explanation
to why he thus voted. A colleague
would then Introduce a resolution for
an extension of the time allowed for
the explanation, which would consume
further time on a roll call. Inasmuch
a4 every mmeber of the minority had
to give the reason that promptd him
to Vote as be did, and each of them
was given the benefit of a resolution
for an extension of time, the delay
was interminable, and It Is evident that
unless the rules of the House can be
suspended or changed that legislation
can be brought Absolutely to an end.
In order to put a stop to the dila
tory tactics of the antis Dr. Whltely
moved that the rules of the House be
suspended and the prohibition bill be
put upon Its passage. This was ruled
out of order. Wright then appealed
from the chair and the point was made
that it the House adjourned while an
appeal was pending toomrrow ■ morn
ing’s session would be a continuation
calls of dilatory motions upon mo-| 0 f the session of today and the House
tlons, would probably result In a would thus resume consideration of
failure on the part of the House to the prohibition bill Instead of defer-
take any definite action before mid-1 ring its further consideration until
night, It then became evident next Wednesday, as the antla have
that the prohis had for the first tlirfe planned.
fully become aware of the fact that At 10:30 o’clock the conditions ex-
under such conditions victory might (sting were the same as they had been
Indefinitely postponed.
As one leader of the prohis remark
ed, “If a little minority can hallo us
today_ and tonight, and keep four-
fifths'of the House from enacting the
legislation It wants, th neit can prob
ably do the Bame thing on next Wed
nesday unless we can find a parllmen-
tary method’ot suppressing filibuster
ing. I am in favor of drastic steps to
revent such Interference as this with
the will of the House by a recalcitrant
few.
The capitol building has been the
centre of Interest all day. Great
crowds of-men and women hare fill
ed the corridors. Hundreds upon hun
dreds were unable to get into the gai
eties ot the House, but remained in
the lobbies and-corridors and offlcea
f the great building eagerly awaiting
all day. The minority were as deter
mined as ever to-atop any action on
the part of the House and stated that
they were prepared to carry on the
fight on the same lines Indefinitely. The
outlook is that the House will ad
journ at midnight and that tomorrow
morning it will meet.ln adjourned ses
sion and go on with the performance
of today. Whether this will continue
until one aide or the other wears out,
some parllmentary method be found
ot cutting the knot, remains to be
developed. As It stands at 10:30 p.
m., the antis have surprised the prohis
by the vigor of their opjiosltlon, by the
skill they have shown In keeping up
the fight, and by the determination
with which they face the future. But
the antla Insist there can be no doubt
of-the passage of the bill.
The 5c,7 i-2c and 10c counters

plied again for this week’s selling
