LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR ENDORSED BY SENATE f IVE BILLS HAVE BEEN PASSED By Legislature Favoring Crea tion of That Office, ibs an B SWEETHEART iitlaata, Ga., Aug. 4. — Ais far as the senate is concerned, the' ofliee of lieutenant governor has been created. Five bills, all the, ■work of Senators Mann and Doug lass, creating the office of lieu tenant goyernbr and defining bis duties and the methods of his succession, were passed in .that body Friday morning. T According to the bills, the lieu tenant governor shall be elected ■by popular vote, shall be presi dent of the senate and shall re- ceieve a salary of $5,000 a year,, which is but a trifle more than the president of the senate now draws. In case the lieutenant governor becomes governor, the president pro tem becomes president of the senate and the next man in line for governorship, if the lieuten ant governor is in any way inca- 'pacitcted. The speaker of the house follows this order. It is argued by the sponsors of the bills that it will save the state considerable money now used in special elections.hnd will give the state a lieutenant governor in sympathy with the policies of the governor.-^Ex.

I. Holstein, could not break up their daughter’s engagement and pre vent her marriage to Columbus Spradley, A. L,, R, H„ Sidney and T. C. Holstein and Robert Cockrell are nowin Aiken county jail, Mrs. Ben Spradley is dead from nervous fright, Ben Sprad ley is hot^ expected to recover from the i effects of a merciless flogging and Columbus Spradley is missing. Both families are fairly well-to- do and are prominent lin the sec tion where the flogging occurred, When the parents of the'young lady found that they could not break up the love match, mem bers of the Holstein family went to the Spradley home Wednesday night, and calling Columbus Spradley from the house took him to a nearby field and began flogging him in a merciless man ner, telling him meanwhile that he would have to leave the com munity. Ben Spradley followed the Holsteins and Cockrell to the field and when he attemptrd to interfere was treated similarly, being so severely flogged about the stomach that he is still in an unconscious condition and phy sicians believe he has little chance of recovery. Mrs. Spradley, formerly Miss Ettie Sawyer of Aiken county, was the mother of a 5-weeks-old baby, and in her weakened con dition, hearing the screams of the flogged men, and probably seeing the flogging going on, succumbed to the nervous fright. She was found dead the follow ing morning in the Spradley home. Sheriff Raborn, Chief Holley of rural police, and Solicitor Gun ter are still on the scene. When the officers arrived they found Ben Spradley unconscious.—Ex. on a wire which was very tastily draped with pink and blue (the class colors of Miss Dunn) crepe papers.

Ih a highly impressive and philosophic manned, the weather bureau officials at Washington are informing us that the past- few months hdve been exception ally warm. So does, science en joy the privillege of stating commonplaces learnedly. Into this particular announce ment, however, the bureau puts a measure of ,-the fresh interest by giving us the definite period and area and also the compara tive record of the torrid siege. Never in the past four decades, comes the report, Tiave tempera tures in [this country during the late spring and £the early sum mer been so uniformly high, for so long a time and over such a large number of states. This means a good deal; for people who have been living forty years can recall a number of pretty hot seasons. The bureau offers no explana tion of these unprecedented tem peratures. On the part of lay men and some meteorologists, however, there have been several ingenious attempts at a solution, The sun spots, of course, have come in for their customary share of blame. Fierce storms of fire, it is declared, have been raging on the solar disc and these have caused the earth to swelter. Others opine that Halley's comet is still exerting an influence over the earth and that we may still be floundering through the vapors and dust it shook from its tail. However this may be, the fact is that the United States per spired more during the period between June 22 and^ July '10 than for many summers past. In the congested cities of the north and east there has been a loss of perhaps thousands of lives. In the agricultural districts of those sections, the dearth of rainfall greatly retarded vegeta ble growth. In many different ways the weather has proved costly.—Ex.
