* i Vi IT Iff'* . .1 HAVE several NEW REASONS TO CHAMPION THE CAUSE OF PERPET. UAL PEACE. “ ‘ * j\ SMALL-SCALE model of a gtm has been tested in New York which is so revolutionary conception that its possibilities as ... instrument of warfare stagger the imagination. Its inventor claims for that it will riioot a five-ton shell _rjJKrom 200 to 300 miles. W ~T' ve! ... .. Its muszle velocity is from one to five mile* ■ second. It i s smokeless, practically noiseless and there is ho recoil from the discharge. Artillery experts who O : witnessed, the test and listened to the inventor’s explanation of-the princi ples involved Were not only amazed but convinced. A German has invented a helicop- ■ ter wheih, according to experts who have studied it and watched it per- form, will revolutionize aviation. It •develops a speed of over 300 miles an hour, can ascend and descend vertically, can remain stationary in the air and cannot fall. The news which trickles through from time to time about what the chemistry experts arc doing in the development of lethal gases makes the flesh fairly creep. If we give oul imaginations a little play and consider what the character of the next war will be we will prob ably come to the conclusion that un less the world’s statesmen are plumb crazy they will find a way to make another war impossible. MEANNESS. The meanest man in the lives in Chicago, “ „ , world lives in Chicago. He onught not to be alive anywhere, not even in Chi cago. This was his wife's testimony at the divorce trial in which she was the plaintiff: “Last winter we were down to our last 73 cents; no coal in the house and no food for the children. My husband took the 70 cents to buy a little food and enough to cook it with. He came home drunk with- out any cpal or food. -When I ask ed him what he had done with the money, he knocked me dowp with a poker.” The court granted the divorce, but unfortunately could not sentence the man to life imprisonment. SPEED Forty-one divorces were granted in New York the other day, at the rate " four an hour. The applicants led,out standardized questionnaire and each case was disposed of machine-like precision, a business of home-wrecking is modernized and simplified by tho j occupied.

ATLANTA, July 14.-a-Three weeks of the present session of the general assembly have passed away, and with their passing no constructive legislar tion has been placed on the statute books of Georgia. With this situ ation confronting both branches, Her bert Clay, president of the senate, add Speaker Cecil Neill, of the house, have notified 'the members that the rules will be strictly enforced from this date until the expiration of the seesion in urging that efforts be made transact the mass of business. When the legislators first reached 1 Atlanta this summer, there was a de cided sentiment against the intro duction of many new bills. Something has happened, however, to bring about a decided change, for the clerk of the house and secretary of the senate are working overtime in an effort to keep up with the many measures awaiting their attention. Govecnor Hardwick has a program retrenchment and progretaiveness that He desires to haye enacted, but unless more speed is shown by hia floor leaders, the session will end with very little accomplished. Much Tex Opposition. The chief executive wants to revo lutionize the taxation syatem of the state, and in both houses there is much opposition tr the plan. He has declared the governor’s mansion ia an unfit' place in which to, reside, and would have it sold or exchanged. Yet the public properties committee has ruled otherwise, and ia asking an appropriation of S!i000 to re pair the home so that lit may be IGGING OUT OF DEBRIS Near-Twis er-Hits Town Doing widespread Damage The too Plains is still busy SENATE PASSES - BILLFORSCHOOL BIBLE READING Measure Wins After A Long Debate—Ballot System Up Times-Reccrder Bureau, Kimball House.

LOBBYISTS FIND SENATE FRIENDLY ATLANTA, July 13.—In the state senate this morning the advocates of capitol removal sprung a surprise by introducing a resolution calling for an investigation of the activities of lobbyists of the removalista’ associa tion and the Atlanta anti-removal committee, but by an overwehlming vote the matter was tabled. The house considered the Austral ian ballot bill of Speaker Neill and postponed action until next Tuesday. Another effort was made to have FATHER, HIT BY TRAIN, KILLED It has the speed.

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 day morning. A useful piece of legislation, but, as one senator remarked, “it will net provide the state with funds to meet expenses, and it's about time something should be done along this line.” up. In the house, Representative Beck ham’s bill relative to making tho game laws of the state comply with federal legislation, was the center of fiery debate and was finally ta. bled. Beckhum served notice lid would introduce another bill meeting the objections. Several minor bills were passed, CLAYBOOMEDAS NEXT GOVERNOR ators At Welcome- Home Barbecue \ 1 WATER POWER BILLS DIE IN COMMITTEE. ATLANTA, July 14.—The house committee Wednesday ^afternoon killed the two water power bills in troduced for the Municipal League. The measure proposing that muni cipalities in the state be given the right to incur indebtedness to the amount of 7 per cent qf their tax vahu-K over and above the present constitutional limitation, the funds to be used to develop, acquire or operate hydro-electrical plahts and similar public utilities, was killed by a vote of about two to one. The companion bill, providing that the state should have the right to ii sue bonds for the same purpose, and conferring the rights of condemna tion and acquirement of properties met defeat by a heavy vote. Attorney Marion Jackson, of At lanta, and Judge Covington, of Moul trie, spoke in favor of the bills, the latter delivering a most able nnti instructive address. Against the bills were speeches by Preston Ark. wright. Attorney Fermor Barrett, Joe Hill Hall, Dave Parker, of Way- cross, and others. Eugene Gammage is spending the summer in Houston, Texas, with his grandmother. He will return to AmericUs early in the fall .to] pre pare for his matriculation into Mer- j ccr University. 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 afternoon the dawn of „ ncw {gt thu commonwealth. Like the other day, too, it la going to make history for the state, and the best hope from si! of us is that the history It will make will-square ^ith that of its prede 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: his'great nmBftionlii' life „ low in some ntfasure the ideaU of father, .. until shortly after Wednesday's edi tions had gone to) press and it con tinued to come today. The storm struck somewhere be tween the home, of Jack Slappey just to tbe northeast of the town end, sweeping through the town proper, continued in a southwesterly direc tion' through Old Botsford, across Kinchafoonee creek and- into the' vi cinity of the intersection of Sumter, Terrell and Webster counties, swerv ing there and sweeping to the farm of Jack Goss a mile to the east ward. The storm was accompanied by heavy hail for a stretch about half a mile which stripped crops of all kinds. , ....... 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 darkness and lamps and candles be ing brought into service in the atom and homes. WarpImuiA Damavad' The roof of the Montgomery cotton warehouse was completely torn off, with one end of the building blown in, and considerable damage done by Welter Hughes, day superintend ent of the Americus plant of the At lantic Ice and Coni,Corporation, left on tho early Thursday morning train for Macon to take charge of the body of hia father, W. L. Hughes, who was killed there by a passenger engine Wcdneeiiay evening. The son, who ta said to be the only relative in thia section, will take the body to their old home at Danville, Ky., for burial. The Macon Telegraph tells of the accident as follows: “W. L. Hughes, a carpenter aged 66, commonly known as ’Dad the Fid dler,’ met almost intanteous death when ha stepped onto the Central of Georgia railroad main line six miles from Mneon, near Adams cotton mills last night at 7:06 o’clock and was struck by a passenger train com ing to Macon. “Hughea, who boarded with C.

They went to Plains the afternoon with were caught in the storm and were unable to return home until Wednes day about noon. Tells of Scene. Nathan Murray, Americus drug gist, who is a native of the Plains section and n brother of D. P. Mur ray, of Plains, visited the scene of the storm Wednesday. “I never saw such atorm damai where some one was not hurt,'.’ L, said. “The power house was de molished, the storm having formed apparently just a short distance north of It In the open field. The machin ery was left standing and can prob ably be used again with a temporary cover built over it. The boiler room of the Crantford ginnery, nearby, was unroofed. The Montgomery warehouse wfls unroofed and part of the walls blown in. Next to the warehouse the Stephens stable was partially unroofed and a porch post was blown from the porch of the Stephens home next door.

A. Wells, an employe of the Adams mill, a witness to the accident, explained that Hughes was a North ern -man, and frequently, talked ot the double track systems of the North where the trains always run on the right track. His belief wus that the man had stepped from the right hand track to the left,upon Seelhg tho light, thinking . himself perfectly safe,, but In reality chang ing from the side track to the main line,” ■WASHINGTON, July 14.—Japan’! acoptancc of President Harding'S suggestion for n conference of pow ers to discuss tho limitation of arma ment v/as received at the Stale De partment todnv. but it made no ref erence to discussion of Far Eastern questions ns suggested by the presi dent.
