PACE SIX
THE TIPPINS BILL
IS POSTPONED.
CONTINUED ABSENCE OF REPRE¬
SENTATIVE ANDERSON, THE
CHIEF OPPONENT, WILL
DELAY MATTERS.
The Tippins bill, which seeks to
tighten the screws ou Georgia's pro
Inbition law, scheduled for debate in
the house of representatives Monday,
was postponed until next Saturday.
The absence of J. Randolph Ander
son of Chatham, the bill’s chief op¬
ponent, who was still in Baltimore as
a member of the Georgia delegation
in the national Democratic conven¬
tion was the cause of the postpone¬
ment, the bill's principal advocates not
wishing too take any advantage of
the : r antagonists.
Postponement was affected by a
resolution, which was adopted by vot
of 103 to 10, shortly after the house
convened Monday morning. It was ol
feted by Representative Alexander o:
DeKalb, leader of the bill's support
ers. In asking unanimous consent
tor the postponement of the Tippins
bill, Mr. Alexander stated the rea¬
son already cited—the continued ab¬
sence of Mr. Anderson in Baltimore.
Representative Peyton of Worth oi -
jeeted, blocking the unanimous con¬
sent whereupon Mr. Alexander mov¬
ed that the bill be set as a special
ordei for next Monday, displacing the
child labor bill already set for special
ordei on that day, and the motion wi s
adoptei! by vote.
Mr. Alexander then offered a reso¬
lution to limit debate on the measun
and bring it to a vote on the follow¬
ing day—next Tuesday. This went to
the rules committee.
Mr. Peyton explained his opposi¬
tion. privately, by stating that he be
iieved postponement would result in
the bill not being enacted into law
at this session of the legislature, de¬
claring his opinion that after it is
passed and receives the governor's
veto it will then be too late for the
further contemplated action.

SLAUGHTER Or BIRDS
CAUSES WORM PLAGUE.
An Effort Is to Be Made to Have
Hunting Season Closed Ten Years.
Tiiomasville,. Ga,—Many people in
this section are of the opinion that
the thinning out of game birds by the*
numerous hunters is the cause of the
great invasion of worms, bugs, grass¬
hoppers, etc., of which the farmer,
are complaining so much this year,
and there is a discussion in regard to
getting a bill passed for a closed sea¬
son cf ten years.
It is thought that this closed sea¬
son would give the birds the opportu¬
nity to increase in such numbers that
ihey would kill out all iniseefs that arc
injurious to the crops. Some of the
farmers, however, are of the opinion
tlup there were just as many bugs,
worms, etc., at different periods in
years gone by as there have been of
late and think that the wet weather
of the past winter -and spring had
much to do with the invasion of them
this year. It is said that an effort.
may be made to have the bill for a
closed season passed, however, by
those who believe that to be the only ,
hope to stop the return of these de- j
stroyers of the crops.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT LAW
WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED
Legislative Committee Will Probably
Not Recommend Change.
It is not probable that Georgia will j
change its method of putting criminals
to death. The hempen rope will con- |
tinue to be used to break the neck
of those individuals who are so un¬
fortunate as to get the death sen¬
tence. Today will decide the ques¬
tion as far as the legislative com¬
mittee, which*has been considering
tne matter is concerned*. After wres¬
tling with the matter for sometime
the committee postponed action.
Provision for a death chamber at.
Milledgeville for all executions and
to change the form of execution te
electrocution from hanging is con¬
tained in a measure introduced by
Mr. Adams, of Hall. According to
Mr. Adams some-sheriff’s have gone
to much trouble to secure commu¬
tation of condemned criminals in that
the offiers might be relieved of the
terrible task of execution.
