the resolution so that the roa-l would be

Tho bill lias laid tin* earnest, intelli

Atlanta, Sept. 3.—[Special.]—When
the House met this morning Mr. Sncfaon
rose to a question of privilege. He said
he understood tliqt Ids protest of yester
day had not been entered ou tho journal,
at tho order of tho iqicniicr. Ho asked
that the tqteaker should state under wliut

Mr. Clay said he hud made his ruling

large shipment of pine t>traw (lagging
was received in tho city tlds morning by
Mr, Rollin Jeifereon from North Caro

FERTILIZER INSPECTION FEES.
On motion of 3!r. Hudson of 3fcri-
wether tbe special order was taken up.
Tlds wo* the bill by ldiutelf to reduce
tiie fee for the inspection of fertilizers
from 50 cents to 10 cents n ton.
Mr. Hnefaon rose to B|>eak in support of
his bill. Ho stated that tho farmers
have paid in fees during the lust twelve
years more than $750,0C0 above the ac
tual cost of inspection of their fertilizers.
Tlio commissioner of agrieulti re had
recommended that there fees should lie
reduced to tho actual cost of inspiection.
Tlio “tag" question is tho great ques
tion of the dav. The farmers are over
••tagged,’’ ami pay tribute to everybody.
They would demand that the men repre
sent them who will labor t > free them
from the incubus of “tags.” They
would not nsk if ho Were republican,
democrat, h.d/pendent, greenback, wet
or dry if he was opjMmed to'‘tags.''
TIIE HOUSE A PACKED JURY.
Mr. Snelson said that he felt that there
was no use in addressing n ) ocked jury.
Here the s|>eaker called him to order.
In conclusion he nai l lie hotted the
legislature would pass the bill, un
amended.
3ir. l’ark of Greene, miM the farmer
would not gethisfsrtilirar a cent cheaper
if tlio inspection fees were reduced. It
was n iqvelal tax upon tiie farmer, and
every profisnion nnd IniBinenH inis its
^|l-cl:ll lax. lie must <p:estion the sin-
is reprenenting the toiling mahses. Tliat
was a threadbare and h|>ccious claim.
Mr. McDonald of Want said ho was
opposed t»the bill, although he was a
ia mcr. He had learned that after de
ducting certain expenses from tiie fer
tilizer fe«*s there is yearly turned into the
treasury from this source $S7,0iW for
e*lncat i< »nal puqHyu-s, If t hose fees were
reduced the farmer would not get hU
fertilizer any ehea|»er, and a direct tax
would have to bo levied for educational
purpose. t
A TRIBUTE TO MR. SXET EON.
Mr. Atkinson of Coweta said he hoped
that membeis would not allow their
feelings towards tho author of this lull
(Mr, Mnclsont to Influence them in tludr
votes, lie had known 3Ir. SncLon since
Loyhwd, uud there is uvt iu GwruUi a
intended to wound tha feelings of
any member of the House. “You and
Icok at things fiom dift'cre'U >tand-
pointa,”
iiethen spoko in favor of the hill os
amended, reducing the fee to twenty
cents a ton. Manufacturers of fertilizer,
in making their prices, take into consid
eration tho coat to tho farmer of its in-
i-pection. T|ie farmers of every county
that had spoken at ail had declan d that
they want these fees reduced. ( hildren
in Atlanta, Havannah and . otli« r cities
ere educated witli this money taken
front the farmers. If you wish to charge
lor some inspection require it on sumo
article used by everybody.
DEATH OF THE AGRICULTURAL DEPART
MENT.
Mr. Simmons of Sumter eaid the re
duction of fees would be the death of the
agricultural department.
Mr. Harrell of Webster favored tho
bill. If tho farmers must be oppressed
by class legislation to preserve ti e agri
cultural department, then that depart
ment should go.
31 r. Hill of Meriwether spoke in favor
of the bill. He touched upon the icceut
exposure made in reference to tie unre
liability of tlio inflection of fertilisers.
The actual cost of inspection has h< en ten
feats, and the state lias been coll* * ting
this forty cents excess from the farmers
of Georgia.
On tho vote on tlio bill ns amended,
that is fixing the inspection fee at twenty
cents instead of fifty, tho ayes were 73
and tho nays 48, and tho bill was lost.
IGNORING THE MEMBER FROM GWINNETT.
On motion of 3Ir. Twitty of Jackson
tho Senate bill prohibiting the manufac
ture, sale or barter of distilled malt
liquor within throo miles of Cedar Creek
Haptfat church, in Gwinnett county, was
taken from tin* table and put on its pas
sage. Tho bill had been pushod to a vote
on its first presentation to the Bouse,
hut a question being made os to “proof,”
it was laid on the table.
Mr. Smith of Gwiunctt said tint the
inetnliers from Gwinnett and Walton
counties I.ad been ignored; the bill had
been presented in tho Senate without
even consultation with tho senator from
ids district, and tho member from .lack-
son, a prohibition countv, hud fathered
it in tho House. He asked the legisla
ture to put down such efforts to ignore
ineml crs. He thought local option would
give the people all the protection they
want.
EOGUB PETITIONS SENT IN.
3Ir. Twitty said that no discourtesy
had been intended towards tho repre
sentatives from Gwinnett or Walton.
He i<aid that a petition hud been sent
him unking the legislature'bbt 'to piss
f;H® bill. Thbt petition fa'a Mgtiis one.
“It fa as g6fxl as any j otf liive. sir,”
e&id Mr. Smith of Gwinnett. '
Mr. Twitty said that the? people who
sent their children to tho school "near this
church wanted them protected from • n-
<ac£ \ViIb tlio grog shop. The ■ senator
who introduced the bill fa tho pastor of
the church.
31r. Lewis of Hancock said ho thought
that the legislature should not put an in
dignity upon the members from Walton
undGwinuett by passing the bill when in
troduced in this manner. The chim-lt is
not in Jackson county and the people of
Gwinnett and Waiton should speak
through their representatives.
Mr. Garuthers of Walton spoko against
the hill.
3Ir. Fmito of Bartow, os chairman on
temperance, explained the introduction
of tnc bill and urged its passage.
On the voto tho uj ei were 40 ami tho'
nays 00 and tlio bill was lost.
Ou motion of Mr. Gordon of Chuilium
tho Houso adjourned until 8 o’clock

A CHANCE FOR lift A D YVS DILL.
Tli© Adverse Deport of the Senate
Committee In Disagreed fa.
Atlanta, Sept 3,—[Special.]—In the
S.-uatc this morning Senators Bollard,
S. ii. Harris, Aiguod and tiobcris sum
ruitted a minority report favorable to
the |>assage of the Brady bill.
It) their report theso senators insist
that iu adversely reporting this bill the
cuinmitteo has failed* to repreio'nt tlio
wishes of the people. They indorse its
every section.
Senator Ballard moved to dfaagrco to
the report of the committee.
Senator Bartlett moved that the bill be
read and made the special order for
Uku silnyatixL i : ■ •••* i <i. .r mur. !
Bv ananiiuous ermsont tho billl ^*as
read. . >• i " • ‘ .* ■ 'A ;
hciialor Hall sail that it was a prlnel-
plo Wt Ii osUiblfahed l»y *f* cihbms «*f> tlh*
Gtxirgiif bupremo coorb that tlfa 1 iw of
the p ace whore the contract fa wO be
jicrformcd controls.
As Boon us this bill should become a
law inunufuduroi'H would simply make
the notes they-took payable in their own
instead of tho buyer’s state. In their
own states thoy would have no trouble,
after taking this easy pte/aution, in
enforcing their claims.
What then uould be tho effect of such
ulawr To give noti-rcxidcnt manufact
urers bo great an advantage over home
manufacturers that tlio latter would I**
c«>inidied to quit tho state in order to
keep from Mug undersold by foreign
couqs liters. For this reason ho opposed
thu motion to dit-agr.*’.
Senator Allgood had never heard of
nett's for fertilizers being mado
payable outside tho state. If non-resi
dent manufacturers should report to
sugh tactics to defraud thu furmersof
this statu, he thought they ought to be
kept out of the state. The home manu
facturers thus relieved of fraudulent
competitors could then furnish the
fanners in compliance' with tho pro
visions of tlio new law, Tho law was
ncccHsury hr the protection of tho
farmer**
Senator Harper called for tho previous
question. The call was not sustained
and Senator llall read authorities in b up-
purt of his point that the rex-loci
determines the validity of contracts.
HAKTLltT DUBOSES THE BRADY BlLli
.Senator Bartlett said tho Brady bill
ns one tliat sought nt one swoop to
wipe out all the law for securing the jwr-
foruiance of contracts. The existing law
on tho subject was wiee, and necessary
to the commerce of tho world. The re
sult of this bill would lie merely to |ut>-
tact the funner from his fellow t tear-
ginns, leaving him at the merev of out
siders. The |>abHago of this bill weald
would he voto for the passage of the
Brady bill.
Henator MoasengRle could see nothing
ia the bill Imt equity nml right.
Senator Hall saiil that there was a
Georgia statuto prescribing a standard to
which all guanos must conform, and that
if the fertilizer sold did not corno up to
the standard the B/ller would bo guilty
of a misdemeanor and nil tho waivers
that could be crowded into a note would
not save him from having to pay tho
penalty. Ho th- senator argued under
the existing law the farmers were not,
as had been stated, absolutely at tho
tnercy of fraudulent dealers.
The ayes and nays wcio taken on tho
motion of Senator Ballard to disagree to
the adverse committee report and tiie
motion prevailed by a vote of ID to 1(1.

United Confederate Veterans Associa
tion 011 tlio occasion of lifa’ accepting the
command:
•‘HeadquartersUnited Confederate
Veterans, Atlanta, Ga., Hept. 3, 1889.—
To the ex-soMiere and sailors of tho lato
Confederate States of America: Tlio con
vention of delegates from different
states w hich assembled in Now Orleans
on the 10th day of June, effected a gen
eral organization, designated os the
Udited Confederate Vetera us. It is de
signed an an association of nil bodies of
ex-Confcderato soldiers nnd sailors
throughout tho union, Tho convuntion
adopted a c>mstitution nnd did mo great
honor to elect mo “ general, ” which
position I accept with peculiar gratifica
tion. Preliminary to tho issue of any ad
dress I wLh to call gc-n<-ral attention to
the objects < f this association and to en
list in their accomplishments tho activo
co-operation, not only of every survivor
of tho Southern armies, but also tho
large contingent, sons of veterans, who.
too young to havo received a 1 nipt ism of
lire, have nev* riheless received with you
tlio baptism of buffering uud of eacri
lice.
THE OBJECTS OF THE ASSOCIATION.
“Tho first article of tho constitution of
tho association declares:
“Tlio objects and purposes of this or
ganization will bo strictly social, literary,
historical and Ix-nevolent. It will en
deavor to unite iu a general federation of
all the associations of Confederate vete
ran, soldiers and sailors, now* in exfat-
cucu or hereafter to be burned; to gather
authentic impartial lifatory of tho war
between the states ; to preserve relics or
mementoes of tiie some; to cherish tho
ties of friendship that should exist
among tho men who havo shared com
mon dangers, common sufferings and
privations; to care for tho disabled nnd
extend a helping hand to tlio needy ; to
protect the widow and orphan and to
make and preserve records of thu ser
vices of cry member, and, oh far as
possible, of those of our comrades who
“have preceded tfa into'eternity/ * ' *

A l CMnndc% no ai-gtimeut is iioetied to
secure for these' objects your enthusiastic
endorsement. They Iiavo burdened
your thoughts for many yenrs. You
cherished thorn in sorrow, in poverty
and humiliation. In the faro of miscon
struction you have held them in your
heartn with tho strength of religious
convictions* No misjudgments can de
feat your |*cncelul purj-o.-*-.-* for tho fu
ture. Your aspirations Iiavo been lifted
by mere force and the urgency of sur
rounding conditions to a plane far above
tho paltry considerations of partisan tri
umphs. The honor of America, ths
republic, the just powers oi thu federal
goverumont, tho equal rights of tho
states, the integrity of tho constitutional
union, law nml enforcement of the or
der have no class of defenders more truo
and devoted than the ex-soldlers of tho
South and their worthy descendants,
But ybu realize the great tenth that a
people without memories of heroic deeds,
heroic sufferings nnd sacrifices fa a ih*i>-
plo without n lifatory. That to cherish
memories, to recall sucli a past, whether
/rowned with miii'i om or conB©<*r*-!*ted in
lefent is to idolize |iriuciplo and
strengthen character, to int* mdfy.n love
of country, and convert defeat mid dis
aster into pillars of Bup]>ort for future
manhood and nobltf womanhood.

“In conclusion 1 beg to repeat, in

ganization, which apply with equal force
lo this general brotherhood. It fa politi
cal in no nemo except so far as tho word

‘l atriot.’ it is a brotherhood over which
tho geniuses uf philanthropy and jm-
triotism, of truth and of juslico will

will succor the disabled, help the needy,
strengthen thu weak and cheer tho dis
consolate. Of |KitriotiMtn heenuso it will

condemn narrow-mindedness and preju
dice aud pnrsion and cultivate that
broader, higher, nobler sentiment which
would write on t!ir grave of every «ol-
dier who fell on either wide: “‘Hero
lies a hero—a martyr to right as his con
science conceived it.’
“I rejoice that a general organization,
too long neglected, has been at Inst per
fected. It fa a hroterhood which all
honorable men must anprovo nml which
heaven itself will. I call upon you.
therefore, to organizu every state nna
community where ex-confederates may
reside, and to rally to the support of the
high and peaceful objects of the ‘united
*o 1 federate veterans,' and mow forward
bv the power of organization and per-

Gentlemen, when thu Crown Prince
Rudolph of Austria came to an untimely
death the representatives of the foreign
i towers hastened lo telegraph to their
tome government that he died by
cide—premature information which they
subsequently were obliged to recall or
modify*.
Tlio American minister, however, who

himself with telegraphing his govern
ment: “The crown prince died sud
denly.” 1 hliall now c.ill upon this gen-
tleman, whose name is familiar to you
all, to make a response to this toast. Ho
comes to us from the distant South to
exchange fraternal greeting. His ability
ns a lawyer not only, but his services to
his state and to his ro-united country,
havo placed him in the front rank of
public men.
Gentlemen, I havo tho honor to Intro
duce Mr. Alexander R. Lawton of Geor

Mr. Lawton spoke ns foljows: “Mr.

how to respond to such an introduction.

the manner that it would seem to bo ex

when he has made hfa earnest pretest,
and made it successfully, against tho do-
creo not only of throo score and ten, hut
of tlio additional ten, that, by reason of
great strength, may sometimes be al
lowed—when he has been ablo to do all
that, and tell us with all the z al and
all thu restlessness and culm of youth it
self—more than the calm of youth, be

devolved upon me by your Jriudnw»,
pt-rmie me to toy that tliat service
which tho bar cau render, to which I
Iiavo alluded, I do recoguizo in my, in
most heart. The great trouble of this
country nt this time—the trouble which
fa recognized, I believe, tho world over,
is tlio great accumulation of enormous
wealth iii tho hands of a lew who are
creating what may bo called a moneyed
nrfatnenu v of this country, and whoso
power can i>o better restrained in this
country where there are no great aristoc
racies recognized by the orgnnic law,
by tho united action of a profession bo
(Mtwerful oh this is; by tho uuited
action of-a profession which will protest
not against tho accumulation of wealth,
bccAure umler many circumstances it fa
not only a right always, but sometimes a
loyal duty to accumulate by overy honest
means, and tho progression of wealth fa
not only a duty, but a great privilege,for
which w© are responsible to tlio com
munity, but it is to tho falling down be
fore the golden imago and looking to it
as a power* a principality, an institution
which is to take possession of all others.
Tho hur, by its cultivation, the bar, by
its fulfillment of duties to tho commun
ity, by iU loyally to higher thought, **iid
to effective speech, can do more to re
strain this power .and keep it within tho
limit* where it ought to bo thau any
oilier body of men in tho world;
and to do that, as well ns many
other reforms, wo must not only
Ik> honest ourselves, but wo must bo
bra* as well. Wo must givo no baiting

And you will oliscrvo that every one

’Yes, sir."
■Well, answer them on a pvstoV
ago—every member of tho President’s
cabinet was a lawyer, and at the time
when ho took a seat in thu cabinet was
either an activo practicing lawyer or
sitting on a judge’s seat. Now, that was
the fact. What responsibility, thertfoTt,
for government in all its forms. Thb
toti>t refers to tho fast that in tho re
straint of government the Istr had great
C over and influence and great responei-
litios. For the first time in the history
of tho world that politiml duty de
volved upon tho members of the bar, for,
iu no country before was it a part of tho
organic law that tho sheriff could say
that the legislative enactment should
take effect. Never. That fact even in
England—tbe highest court of England
could not say that on net of pnrii tment
is unconstitutional and nover would so
attempt; but the English havo seen this.

and when tho chief justice of the United
States departed this life nnd it was noces-

ot this country were not so effective and

great power and importance of that
court as the great daily of I.ondon. Tho
Iximlon Times had article after article on
that subject, as to tho great duties, the
great powers* tho great importance, and
almost bewailing tliat such potters
might Iw given to their highest court.
Such fa the condition in which
the I arris placed in this country, and
such ore the responsibilities which di*
volve 11 jKitr it. Therefore, I say wo are
not only to look to all there conditions
of society with which we ure in contact,
and to all tho duties which we are called
upon to |ierfonn,but to look to tho fram
ing of our laws, to tho judgments passed
Upon those laws, to the execution of
those laws, and to the education of the
public miud as to wlint the laws ought

might say, almost the bar alone, fa re

Wo must accept it, and, therefore, ns n
