ATLANTA, July 14.-a-Three weeks
of the present session of the general

When the legislators first reached 1

they should, in the opinion of many
persons. So it seems that the pre
diction made at tho beginning of the
new administration that Governor
Hardwick would have rough sailing
la being borne out.
Governor Hardwick’s future pro
gram depends entirely upon the atti
tude and efforts of the legislators
to bend their baSks to the task. It
should not be inferred that the law
makers have not been working, for
this is not true. They have been
energetic, but being independent and
practicing their capabilities of doing
their, own. thinking, they have been
moving at their own direction, and
not that of the governor.
Ballot Reform to-Win.
One of the pieces of, legislation
which will be enacted next week, ac
cording to present indications, is the
Australian^, ballot ayatem. Speaker
Neill has sponsored this measure in
the bouse for. the past four years,
while Senator John K'. Jones, of La-
Grange, has introduced it in- the sen
ate.
With the women assuming their
rights at the polls, the Australian
system has had strong support this
year. The committee on elections
and privileges gave it a favorable
report, and when brought up in the
honse Wednesday no opposition was
voiced. When printed copies of the
measure have been distributed among
th legislators, it is expected to be
passed by a large vote next Tues

The companion bill, providing that

Attorney Marion Jackson, of At

MARIETTA, July 14.—(Special)
—Another chapter in thd history of
Georgia politics was begun this af
ternoon when Marietta welcomed
the return of her son, Herbert Clay;
president of the state senate and
Senator Dennis Fleming of the Tenth;
district, and Senator Charles T. Bond,
of the Thirty-first district, amidst a
mighty demonstration, formally
nominated him as tha next governor.
While President Clay's name has
been prominently mentioned In ton-
heotion with the next race for the
chief executive office, the nomination
on the occasion of the barbecue ten-
deded in hia honor by the Marietta
citizens to the upper branch, of-tho
general assembly came as a complete
surprise to him and a vast number
of those present. This development
was of especial importance and sig
nificance in view of the growing dis
cussion that Governor Hardwick
would not be a candidate for
election.
“The- destiny of fate, in directing
our courses in private and political
life, perchance has grooved ilhelf
anew in an old channel," declared
Senator Fleming in his address, “for
it is not the same figure history has
perpetuated for Georgia, however
near it may be counterpart.
..... ........ “Today ia not the day of the.early
afternoon nlnctl, *> 1,ut il I* the beginning of

too, it la going to make history for

of us is that the history It will make

cessor yfais.
‘It may be that the degree of fate
haS' taken,up a lovable und capable
heritage which the lilustrinus Steve
Clay left to Georgia, and through
him as great or maybe greater desti
ny is vet to le worked on*, for our
people and our state.
“To you, our honored president,
may the destiny rfgfrerd by fate be
the son of that illustrious Georgian
ia today but entering a reproduction
of the career.of that bcioveu-states
man of revered memory; may ike
course of ihe next s [ x years he re
peated in today’s history at it was in
that of the early nineties," conclud
ed Senator Fleming.
The address of Senator Bond wus
along the same lines only in conclud
ing he declared President Clay would
be the “future governor of Georgia
and a coming United States senator.’’
In an eloquent speech, President
Clay expressed appreciation of the
remarks of his friends a:

Light Plant Unroofed.
The Plains electric light and pump
ing station, a steam plant recently
erected by a bond iaiue, was unroo:
cd and the walls demolished, putting
the plant out of commission for «
time. The Montgomery cotton'ware
house was unroofed and partially
blown in. Houses' were damaged,
and flooded and havoc generally pro
duced. A remarkable feature was
that in Plains, despite the deavy
damage, not a person was injured.
A party of Americus people, In-
eluding Mrs. W. T.-Lane, were call
ing that afternoon qt the home of
Mrs. Randolph Logan In Plains. So
severe was the storm that they were
unable to return Until Wednesday.
Mrs. Lane told' of the extent
nf th- storm damage as she had ob
served it, reciting the following de
tails of which sne learned before
leaving there:
Thirteen chimneys were Mown
down and nearly every- home in
Plains damaged by the water which
fell in torrents for forty-five minutes.
The city power house, nearly new,
was struck by the full force' of the
storm, tho building unroofed and the
machinery being almost submerged
by the water. Thq plant was put
out of commission during Inst night
and the nest day, the city being in
