HOU8E VOTES TO INCREASE THE GOVERNOR'S SALARY TO
♦5,000 A YEAR—AFTERNOON SESSIONS TO BE HELD—QUESTION
OF ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZER FILLERS IN THE SENATE.
ATLANTA, July 26.—The house
^practically killed the bill to “rotate"
Judges and followed it up by Increas
ing the governor’s salary from $3,000
a year to $5,000.
The “rotation" bill was tabled at the
request of Speaker Morris, who saw It
was doomed to defeat. He stated that
lie would not call It up again during
this session.
The house went into consideration
of the rotation bill with Mr. Cann of
Chatham, presiding over the commit
tee of the whole.
Mr. Kelly of Glascock, offered an
amendment providing for six divis
ions instead of four composed as fol
lows:
First Division: Blue Ridge, Chero
kee, Rome and Tallapoosa.
Second Division: Northeastern,
IWestern, Flint and Stone Mountain.
Third Division: Coweta, Chatta
hoochee, Macon and South western.
Fourth Division: Northern, Ocmul-
gee and Augusta.
Fifth Division: Middle, Atlanta and
Brunswick.
Sixth Division: Albany, Southern,
Pataula and Oconee.
Mr. Kelly spoke in support of his
amendment.
Speaker Morris followed Mr. Kelly
in ;i very exhaustive speech in support
of the bin. Me said that with the
Kelly amendment It was approved by
the Judges. He spoke of the heat of
political campaigns and the obligations
mean two-thirds of those voting, a
quorum being present.
Afternoon Sessions to Be Hold.
Tiie house adopted a resolution pro
viding for afternon sessions, beginning
at 3 and ending at 5. No sooner was
this agreed to than Mr. Wilson secured
a reconsideration and offered an
amendment that the afternoon sessions
begin August 1st. This was lost. The
res lutlon for sessions from 3 to 5
was again adopted, but it tuuiB a call
of the roll to make the members vote.
New Bills in the House.
By Mr. Derrick of Rabun—To incor
porate the town of Tiger.
By Mr. Bell of Paulding—To allow
D. Norton to peddle without license.
By Mr. Alford of Worth—To
the city court of Sylvester.

and enmities growing out of political
lights, and said the judges ought to be
removed to an atmosphere where these
influences could not be felt. There
was a stench.in the nostrils of the peo
ple. said Mr. Morris, because the
judges went to the trlnl of railroad
cases with rullrond passes In their
pockets, yet Jurors with passes arc
disqualified In railroad cases. The hill
proposed to pay the railroad fare of
Judges. He did hot believe n judge
should be allowed to do a thing that
would disqualify a Juror.
Mr. Morris said he regretted that
the Blue Ridge circuit had been bought
Into the discussion. The minority re
port brought In by the gentleman from
Thomas, Mr. Mitchell and others, de-
, iclared that not a single circuit was
* demanding the passage of the bill. Mr.
Morris said he did not think Mr.
Mitchell knew more about the Blue
Ridge than was known to himself and
his colleague and the gentlemen from
Milton. 'Cherokee, Pickens and other
counties. Me did not Impugn the mo
tives of the gentleman from Thomns.
He knew the gentleman from Thomns
was not against the bill because his
father was Judge of his circuit and he
preferred to try Ills cases before bis
father.
“That Is not in his mind.’’ said Mr.
Morris, “nnd I give him credit for the
honesty of his convictions.”
Mr. Morris said that If he had been
nominated for the Judgeship he would
have been glad to have the bid passed,
ns It would have taken him out of the
embarrassments that surroun a Judge
In the Blue Ridge.
Mr. Steed of Carroll opposed the
hill ns reflecting on the Judges.
Mr. Flynt of Spalding spoke in favor
of the bill.
Mr. Reid of Campbell paid there
might be isolated Instances where the
present system was not satisfactory,
but the system aH a whole was all
right. The constitutional question in
volved. miht produce serious compli
cations. He had no fears on the ques
tion of Improving, but the bill took
from the Judge Jurisdiction In his own
circuit nnd that was a very serious
matter. He did not think the legis
lature could take a way that Jurisdic
tion.
The bill was amended to provide for
six divisions, and to Include the Atlan
ta and Eastern circuits. The vote was
such as to indicate that the measure
would not pass, and It was tabled on
motion of Mr. Morris.
Governor’s Salary Increased.
The bill increas'ng the governor’s
salary from $3,000 to $5,000 was taken
up and Mr. Slaton of Fulton spoke at
considerable length on the necessity
for an Increase. He showed that the
r v-rnor could not live on the salary
now paid, nnd he did not think the
state ought to make a man go In debt
In order to be governor. He said If

Mr. Merritt announcedthat the spe

On motion of Mr. Hopkins the Aus
tralian ballot bill was made the special

The first business coming up for con
sideration and final disposition was a
resolution by Mr. Jordan, which was
favorably reported by the agricultural
department, providing for the appoint
ment of a commission to inquire Into
and ascertain if artificial fillers uro
used t In commercial fertilizers sold in
this state.
Mr. Smith opposed such portions of
the resolution when It wn* stated that
the filler was forced upon the people
who had purchased the fertilizers. IIo
said that he had no objection to tho
appointment of the commission.
Mr. Atkinson nald it made very litt!•*
difference whether It was a naturnl or
an artificial filler, so long as the plant
food was there; that It was necessary
to havo a filler to properly dlstrlbuto
the goods.

Authorized to Use Another Man’s
Name.
CHARLOTTE. N. C.. July 26.—Wll-
im E. Breeze was again under fire of
District Attorney Holton’s cross ex
amination In tho United States district
court today, and was asked a great
many questions concerning his nc-
ount with the First National Bank
of shevllle, the transactions 4 cov-
ering several not^s nnd other matters.
The witness answered some of the
questions directly, hut In many In
stances he stated that he did not re
member. The district attorney handed
witness a number of checks which
he had drawn on his account nnd ask
ed him to explain for what purpose the
money was used.
told for what purpose tho
money he procured on a few of the
checks was used, but he did not re
member what went with the money
paid out on a majority of them.
The purpose of the prosecution was
to show that witness did not state the
truth when he testified thnt his over
draft was created In the payment of
interest on his Indebtedness to the
bank, hut the witness would not admit
that his orlglnnl statement was untrue.
Breeze ugaln went over the Rollins
notes, and explained why he had sign
ed the name of Major \V. W. Hollins
(the present p m at Ashevellle), to two
notes for $1,000 each. Major Hollins
was out of town, nnd it was necessary
to make payments on two of his notes
held by other banks. His relations
with Major Rollins were close nnd inti
mate nnd he did not hesitate to sign
tho name of the absent man to two
notes, whlho were promptly forward-
ed to banks holding other paper. Im
mediately he wrote Major Rollins of
his action, and this was confirmed
upon the return to Asheville of Rollins,
who signed a note to take up the other
two notes at muturity.
District Attorney Holton recalled
Major Rollins who reiterated his testi
mony of last week, when he charged
forgery.
"Did you ever give Major Breeze au
thority to sign your name?” asked
the district attorney.
, “I did not.”
“Did Major Breeze write you a let
ter or even speak to you concerning
the notes he had signed?’
“He did not."
“Did you ever have nny knowledge
of the notes to which some o
had Higned your name?"
“Not until I came here to this court.”
tinder cross examination Mnjor Rol
lins was asked If the two notes he had
not signed did not about cover the in
terest on genuine notes he had made
nnd replied thnt he supposed It did.
When the bank failed. Major Rol
lins did not know that there was an
outstanding note against, him. The
condition came to his knowledge when
ho wns sued on the notes, much to his
surprise, for Breeze hnd signed an
agreement guaranteeing to hold him
harmless.
The holdlrg of night sessions began
tonight, the district attorney concern
ing himself principally with endeavor
ing to show thnt Breeze had drawn
money for the bank at various times
for other purposes than to renew' notes.
There were accounts for about 12,000
from Jewelers. “Where did you get
that money?" nskod District Attorney
Holton.
“From the proceeds of the sale of
more than 1.000 bushels of potatoes
