The amendment was adopted wlthont opposition. Mr. Thornton, of the Twenty-fourth, moved to amend farther lection 4. by add ing to It the provision that aa to wholesale dealers tbey shall have twelve months In which to Wind up tbetr business. The amendment was loat. Section 4 was then adopted as amend'd. Mr. Maddox, of the Forty-second, moved to emend •eettmt.wMtkreAaa: “Be It fntther qnactcd. That it the reeult of any election, held under the provisions of thti act shall be ’for the sate,’ then no election shall be held in the same county In leu than tiro yean thereafter," etc, Mr. Maddox proposed to amend by in serting in the second line following “for tb* tale ” the words "or against the sale."

He charged that the motive of those who are preesing the measure forward is not to rescue Georgia but tu force this question Into politics. He made the further point that in many of tha local bills now In op eration. the gentlemen had provided for themeelrea, In aome providing for an elec tion either way in two yeats, and others authorizing the manufacture of liqnor, while this bill seeks where a county votes dry to fasten tbs result for all time. He charged farther that there was more dema goguery and deception In this measure than any that could be brought up. Near ly all tba advocana of the bill drank be hind tba door, and bays no idea that the law shall prohibit them. Pending ble argument, Mr. Maddox moved to suspend tba special order for tbe purpose of reading s message from tbe Governor, which prevailed.
