THE SENATE CAUSED STORMY TIMES
Dark Clouds Were in Ascendancy
in the Legislature.
NEGOTIATIONS WERE BROKE OFF
Semate Was Stubborn and House
Members Thought They Had Made
as Many Concessions as Upper
House Had a Right to Expect.
Many Members Left for Their
Homes in Disgust.
With full force and as bitter as at
any time during the regular or spe
rlal session the convict fight was re
csumed in the legislature Wednesday
merning when the senate by a vote
of 21 to 16 refused to accept the
report of the fourth conference com
raittee on the convict situation and
negotiations came to an abrupt end,
temporarily at least.
Both bodies adjourned about 5
¢'tlock in the afternoon without tak
ing further action; without even con
¢idering the question of appointing
another conference committee. The
iouse did nothing at the afternoon
=ession, but sit and wait on the sen
ate, and when that body finally ad-
Jeunned the house followed suit.
House Agreed to the Report.
in the house a ficht was begun
or the compromise bill submitted by
the commitiee. ‘
The proposed amendments were‘
taken up one by one and adopted
without much opposition down to thel
substitute for section 4, providing a
contract system. Over this a bitter
battle waged and an aye and nay
vote was called. Mr. Perry of Hall
urged the house to decline to en
dorse the renort and adjourn sine
dle. He declared this would leave
the disposition of convicts after next
March in the hand‘r;‘% of Governor
Smith. : {
Section 4, which would place it in
ke power of the prison commission
and the governor to make contracts
fer the employment of convicts, was
adopted, and the bill then agreed to!
2y a whole by the house. i
Politics Makes Appearance. l
‘n the senate matters did not go
s 6 pleasantly. When the session be-l
£an Senator Howard offered a reso
tution similar to the one prosemedi
in the house———making the conference
report the sense of that body.
Senator Felder made a long and
mopassioned speech against the re
rert. He said the contract system
was more pernicious than the lease
system, and in reality meant the con
tinuance of the latter in worse form.
He pleaded with the senators to not
let desire to go home weigh over their
natural repugnance to such a solu
tion of the problem, declaring that
he was ready to stay until Christ
mas rather than see such a bill
passed. ‘
Senator Felder appealed to the |

you don’'t mind it will come. If we
pass such measured as this the labor
ing element will be heard from and
they ought to be heard from. I am
inclined to believe another party
would work for good, anyway.”
“Let it come,” remarked Senator
Walden of the Eighteenth, who is
a dyed-in-the-wool populist, and
Senator Weaver, the only republican
member of that body, laughed heart
ily.
Senators Farmer and Walden,
who had represented the senate on
the conference committee, spoke in
favor of the compromise. They
stated that it did not represent ex
lact]y what they wanted, but they felt
that the senate shouid concede some
[thing.
““Senator Felder's bill before this
'body provided that the conviets be

. "Under this arrangement they would
Inot be re-leased at all, and would be

SUE DEFUNCT BANK DIRECTORS.
Receivers Ask for Judgment to the
Amount of $300,000.
The receivers of the Exchange
Bank of Macon have filed suit against
the directors of the bank for $500,-
000 and ask a judgment for said
amount. They also ask for an ac
counting. The receivers blame the
directors with criminal negligence.
The suit is signed by many stock
holders. It was filed in the superior
court by Messrs. R. J. Taylor, C. T.
King and B. P. O'Neal, the receivers.
To Keep Salt Dry.
“To prevent salt in saltcellars
from becoming damp and lumpy
when filling them put .in ten to
twelve pieces of rice,” says Woman's
Home Companion for September.
“This will not come through the
‘holes in the cover of the saltcellars,
but will break the lumps of salt and
gather the moisture; thus the salt is
;always dry and fine.”

and the extra session, left for theiri
homes, declaring they will resign if
ordered back. ‘
In the house Mr. Hall of Bibb of-i
fered a resolution to adjourn sine
die. It was voted down. I
In the senate Mr. Knight offered |
a resolution calling on the SOVernor |
to adjourn both houses, because an |
agreement seemed impossible. It
was on the table when the senate
adjourned. i |
House Rebuked Senate.
Excepting a mild reprimand which
the house was able to administer to
the senate nothing was done by the|
house Tharsday, thus closing a week
of firm deadlock with no end in sight.
The reprimand of the house was in
‘the shape of a set of resolutions in-‘
troduced by Messrs. Jones of Meri~‘
wether, Tuggle of Troup, Slater of!
IBryan and Anderson of Bulloch. Inl
two pages of preamble the history |
of convict discussion was set forth; |
‘how the house had passed a bill atl
‘both the regular and special sessions: I
‘how the senate had wasted much |
time during both; how it had finally |
passed the house bill by substitute |
and how this had been rejected after
careful consideration; how a confer
ence committee was finally agreed
upon and how the senate had delib- |
erately refused to inform the house[
whether or not its report was accept- |
able to it, ete. The resolutions |
wound up by adjourning until Fri- |
day morning. They first provided |
sine die adjournment, but was |
changed. |
An effort ‘was made by Mr. Slater
of Bryan and Mr. Nix of Gwinnett
to introduce a resolution providing
for adjournment sine die. It was
ruled out of order. .
After a session of about ten min-l
utes a recess was taken.
The house was again called to 01‘-.
der at about 11:30, and it being
evident that the senate was deter—'
mined, for the time, to furnish no|
material upon which it could work'
adjourned.
| Turmoil in Senate Resumed.
In the senate the turmoil of the
day before was resumed, in a condi
tion hardly less demoralized than ex
isted in the house.
The voting on the motion to take
up for consideration the conference
committee’s suggested compromise
on the convict question was resumed.
It was killed.
The occasion furnished several
senators opportunity to make fiery
speeches which bordered on the de
nunciatory.
Senator Felder declared that the
members of the upper house were
acting like children, and he called
on them to ‘“‘act like men,” and deal
a final death blow to the compromise
on the Holder bill.
Senator Knight took a similar
view relative to the juvenile conduct
of the senate, but charged the same
to the majority.
‘“How can we refuse to take up
this report, and either officially adopt
or reject it?"” he asked, and he want
ed to know further how in the ab
sence of definite action could the
house know that the matter would
not be accepted.
“It is not only a courtesy, but an
obligation due the house that we
e‘ther accept or kill this report,” he
said. “The conference committee
was named on our request. It has
reported and we take the position
that we can ignore their recommen
dations.”
A Little Money Still in the Treasury.
Senator Steed was vehement in his
arraignment of the majority.
“You seem to be afraid of the mi
nority,” he declared. “Why are you
afraid of us? If you are not afraid
of us of whom are you afraid? Is
it the governor, or is it the people?
Are you afraid to face the widows
and orphans who were made such by
the men for whom you are delaying
proper legislation?
“I regret that the rumor has gone
abroad that a little money is still
in the state treasury. Some men
seem too fond of their per diem.”
The intimation was resented by
Senator Wilkes, who declared that
he didn't ‘“‘believe any member of
either house was so low-downed as
to promote a deadlock just to re
reive $4 a day from the state.”
The motion to do something with
the report was killed on a vote as
follows:
Ayes—Brantley, Brock, Critten
den, Farmer, Gordy, Griffin, Hard
man, Hawes, Hayes, Howard, Knight,
Steed, 'l'aylor, Walden—ls,
Nays—:.kin, Born, Bush, Camp,
Dobbs, Henderson of the Fifteenth,
Henderson of the Thirty-ninth, Hud
sou, Hughes, Johnson, Lashley, Mar
tin, Mattox, Stapleton, Stephens,
Sikes, Turner, Walker, Wilkes, Willi
ford—2l.
Not voting: Bovd, Cowart, Deen,
Felts, Overstreet, Peacock, Whaley.
Killed It After Losing a Week.
At the Friday afternoon session
of the senate the filibuster was
brought to an end by both factions
reaching an agreement. This was ar
rived at after each held a caucus.
It was to permit the conference re
port to come up for a vote. The
report was promptly killed by 13 to
21. This left the way clear for more
conference committdes.
It was a victory for the minority,
as the majority had been fighting
to prevent any official disposition of
the conference report.
The Senate then adjourned to meet
no more until Monday.
