Get Your Glasses Now, 6 to Set, only 10c The Set Don’t Be Too Late Woman Lawyer Bill Is Passed (Continued From Page One) made a speech on this floor against this bill. I opposed it with all my heart and every bit ‘ of’ power I possessed. But, gentlemen, since yesterday, my wife has had a con ference with me, and the able de fense of the bill with which we have been feasted by so rpany gen tlemen hero this morning, I am thoroughly convinced that this bill ought, to pass. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I vote ‘aye!’ ” The three minutes’ privilege was utilized by a score or more of mem bers, who, shut’ off from expressing themselves, during the debate by a call for the previous question, grasped the only remaining oppor tunity to uhburden themselves. With few exception these “expla nations”—three-minute orations, rather—were in behalf of the bill, and long before the middle of the the alphabet had been reached by the clerk everybody .knew how the vote was going. But the bill was not without rhetorical opposition, notwithstanding the “about face” of Connor on the issue. Tried To Rattle Barber Barber of Grady, a farmer and justice of the peace, though not an attorney, proved a wonderrul sup port of Mr. Stark from the mom ent whenhebogan: “Mr.Spc aker of the House and Ladies and Gen tlemen of the Galleries.” He spoke well toward the last and it was his first speech of the session. Attempts were made on several sides to disconcert him by privileged interrogations. Every Bally, though, was remindful of i a onslaught with gas bombs by an European army in the face of an adverse wind—they all rebounded to - the discomfort of the enemy, and some of the retorts of the rep resentative fairly convulsed the house with laughter. For instance, Wohlwender, of Muscogee, asked at one point: “Is the gentleman a lawyer?” “Gentlemen of this house,” re- tored Barber, “for the gentleman from Muscogee, who is himself an uble lawyer, and who has sat with ipe through, as many session of (his house as he has, not to know yet whether or np.t I am a lawyer is so surprising and his question so silly I decline to answer it.” Brown, of Wheeler, when Barber vras near the end of bis speech, asked: “WiU the gentleman please tell the house which side of the ques tion he is speaking on?” Turning and facing Brown, Bar ber said: "I am indeed sorry for a consti tuency that send to represent them here in this hall a man who, after a man has been talking, as long as I have been, can’t tell which side the speaker is talking on!” Other speakers for the bill, before the vote was started, were Davis, of Laurens; Griffin, of Lowndes, and Elders, of Tattnall. When the speaker called for the rollcall, Rich, of Miller, raised the point that under house rule 22 only a very small number of the mem bers would be permitted a vote on the question at issue.' This rule provides that no member shall vote upon any question “in which he is immediately particularly in- tcre ited.” the embarrassing position of decid ing who are lawyers'in this house.” Anderson, of Jenkins, explaining his vote, declared “the virtue of no woman enn be affected by any ac tion of this house: it cannot be changed by any law.”' He urged that women would have a tendency to elevate the bar, and, he saying, “it may bo that so. many of our able, brainy women will enter the legal profession that some of us may lose praetic; but I say, ‘let the fittest survive, Muse Stirs Stovall When the name of Stovall, of McDuffie,'was called, he referred to the remarks of Mr. Stark, who had charged that the “woman suf frage, idea and this woman lawyer idea was all borrowed from "the far west.” He closed byreciting these lines “to woman,” which he had composed while listening to the de bate going on about him: “Whether born in the south born in the west, Of God’s creation she’s still very best. She’s the queen of the south, in spite of the west— And in the practice of law she’ll be qneen none the less.” Throughout the debate and vote the galleries were packed, most of the spectators being women. Among them were several leaders of the suffrage movement in Atlan ta and Georgia. They wanted to applaud every .speaker—except the women to practice lawin.Gcor gia, but in his characteristic way it is to be seen that he stood with courage and. energy by his convic tions. Mr. Barber is very fre quently commended by his fellow members'of the legislature for be ing always at his post of duty in the house. It will be remembered that a great many of the members are so negligent of their obligations in this respect that great difficulty has been had lately in keeping a quorum for carrying on the work of tho House. For Congrss “Every lawyer in this house,” Stark and Barber. They did ap- urged Rich, “is immediately and plaud until the speaker convinocd particularly interested’ in this bill, and, therefore, can’t vote on it, under this rule. Embarrassing To Burwell Later on, when Rich launched upon a three-minUte explanation of his vote (against the bill), Speak er Burwell, from the floor, explain ed to the house that his reason fer not at the time having ruled upon Mr. Rich’s point of order was that he shrunk from placing hjmself “in them that another violation would mean the clearing of the galleries. From then on the women centent- ed themselves with the silent wav ing of handkerchiefs as each cham pion of their cause concluded. The above taken from tho Atlan ta Constitution will prove of decid ed interest wo believe to the friends of Representative |Bnrber in this county. Mr. Barber was with the minority in this matter of allowing To the Voters of the Second Con gressional District.
