N BILL
Georgia State Senate Turns Down the Wil¬
lingham Measure.
THE VOTE WAS 26 to 14
Opposing Sides Battled Fiercely
For Victory—Opponents of
Bill Applaud Result.
After a debate lasting three days the
Willingham state prohibition bill was
killed in the Georgia senate Friday
afternoon.
The result proved exactly as the op¬
ponents of the measure had predicted.
The failure of the bill to receive the 17
votes which were accorded it was due
to the absence of three of its Support
srs, Senators Greeue, Morrison and
Thompson.. by the
A surprise was sprung amendment oppo¬
nents of the bill in an
Friday morning to the amendment by
Mr. Terrell, providing for submitting
the bill to the people. The new amend¬
ment restricted the vote to the 22
counties to be affected bv the bill, it
was adopted by a vote of 21 to 18. As
amended the Terrell amendment was
lost by a vote of 26 to 1-i. The amend¬
ment having been killed, the original
bill was then accorded a like fate by
the same vote.
The opponents of the bill filled the
senate chamber with their glad shouts,
but it was noticed that the people in
the gallery received the verdict with a
<leath-like silence.
The voting began at 1:30 p. m. and
the various roll call3 consumed an
hour, a great many senators rising to
■explain their votes.
A number of interesting arguments
were made during the morning and
were followed with the same close at¬
tention that has marked the entire de¬
bate.
On the ballot which was to determine
the fate of the measure but one sen¬
ator explained his vote. This was
Senator Underwood, of the thirty
second. He voted against the passage
of the bill aud gave as his reason for
■so doing that as the bill stood he be¬
lieved it was against the principles of
democracy.
The consideration of the several
amendments offered to the original bill
occasioned the only break in the mo¬
notony of the debate of the day and
consumed some little time.
A mild sensation grew out of the in¬
troduction of the amendment to the
Terrell amendment by Senator Red¬
ding designed to prohibit the 115 dry
counties in the state from voting on
the . 'll if it was passed with the
amendment of the senator from the
thirty-sixth leaving tlifl measure to a
vote of the of the state.
This was presented shortly after the
convening of the senate and was read
merely for information and held over
Go be acted upon after conformity the at Wi intent
^itad ’the beed concluded in tE with
agreement entered into at e be
ginning of the contest.
When argument closed at 1:30
o’clock the previous question was
called by Senator Fouche and the
amendments came up to be acted upon.
An attack was immedietely made
upou the Redding amendment by the
friends of the Willingham bill, Sena¬
tor Bunn denouncing it as a dodge to
kill the bill. Senator Dickerson took
the the same stand and the contest at
this point assumed a mere interesting
aspect than at any time since the fate
of the prohibition measure had been
in the hands of the upper house.
Despite this, however, tho Redding
amendment was adopted by a vote of
*21 to 18, and then when the Terrell
amendment, as amended, came up for
consideration, eleven senators rose
when their names were called to ex¬
plain their votes. By a vote 26 to 14
the amendment of the senator from
the thirty-sixth, as amended, was lost.
* Then, being denuded of amend¬
ments and in the shape it had been
passed in the house, the bill was put
upon^ts passage. The aye and noe
vote was called, aud amid intense si¬
lence forty senators cast their votes as
the secretary read each man’s name.
When the result had been declared

TO CHANGE TAXING SYSTEM.
Texas State Legislature to He Called In
Kxtra Session.
A special from Austin, says: It has
been decided that the Texas legisla
ture should be convened in special
session next mouth for the considera
tion of a taxation bill that will com
pletely revolutionize the taxation sys
tom of this state. The exact date has
not been settled. For three months
the state tax commission, created by
S,he legislature, has beeu preparing a
bill which remodels all taxation laws
tin the state, aud said bill is the one
the special session will be called to
set upon.
PROTECT SEA ISLAND COTTON.
Bill Introduced In Congress Placing Sta¬
ple on Dutiable List.
A Washington dispatch says: A
measure of general interest to Florida
and sections of Georgia was introduced
in the house Friday by Congressman
Davis, of Florida. It places sea island
or long staple cotton on the dutiable
list. The bill provides that a duty of
five cents per pound on the lint and
50 per centum advalorom shall be
levied on all importations from for
eigu countries.
HAYWARD’S SEAT
Being Vigorously Contested For By Hitch¬
cock and Allen of Nebraska.
A special from Lincoln, Neb., says:
The fight for the senatorial seat made
vacant by the death of Senator Hay
ward has narrowed down to 0. M.
Hitchcock and former senator W. V.

Governor Poynter says both sides
may present their ease for bis consid
oration and decision,
ZrJuZ r.i*! bffl
No demonstration of any kind came
from the friends of the measure aud
applause from the gallery was con¬
spicuous by its absence. A few spec¬
tators clapped their hands, but for the
most part the occupants of the gallery
filed out into the corridors of the
capitol singly and silently. It was
clear that those who had watched day
by day the contest on the floor of the
senate were disappointed.
The following was the vote as re¬
corded :
For the bill—Senators Bunn, Davis,
Dickerson, Gross, Hand, Humphries,
King, McGehee, Passmore, Rawlings,
Steed, Thrasher, Wilcox and Wood.
Against the bill—-Senators Blalock,
Braunen, Clifton, Daniel, Dowling,
Fouche, Grovenstein, Heard, Hodge,
Johnson, Lining, Little, Mann, Moye,
McLester, Nesbitt, Odom, Perkins,
Redding, Sutton, Terrell, Underwood,
Webb, West, Wight and Wingfield.
INTERESTING SESSION OF HOUSE.
The house of representatives spent
most of the sessiou Friday morn¬
ing in the discussion of the joint
resolution to pay the $3,100 ex¬
penses of the tax commission. It de¬
veloped that thore was considerable
opposition and some of the members
gave vent to their feelings.
The consideration was resumed in
the committee of the whole house.
Speaker Little took the floor in de¬
fense of the action of commission in
sitting beyond the limit of thirty days
as provided in the resolution. Sever
a!*raembers who were opposed to the
tax measure contended that it was a
mere matter of right and justice that
the whole expenses should be paid.
An amendment by Mr. Willingham of
Monroe to redeuce the amount to
$1,840 was voted down.
The bill was then reported back to
the house favorably, and was passed
by a vote of 95 to 19. It was ordered
immediately trasmitted to the senate.
A bill by Mr. Morris, of Cobb, to
allow judges to render judgments at
the appearance term of unconditional
contracts in writing where there was
no defense, and open accounts where
there is an affidavit that the same is
true, where no plea is filed, passed the
house by a vote of 88 to 36.
This will save the creditor six
months time in the superior courts in
collecting these contracts where there
is no contest. Under the present law
they must go over to the second term
beforo judgment can be rendered.
The bill by Mr. Slaton, of Fulton,
to require all claims against munici¬
palities to bo presented for payment
before suit can be tiled, was passed.
A resolution by Mr. Reid, of Talia¬
ferro, for the relief of the sureties of
G. T. Edwards, late tax collector of
Taliaferro county, was n!e ! o passed.
CRIME CHARGED TO FULLER.
of Coroner’s Jury In the I’ottle
Murder Case.
The jury in the Pottle murder case
at Macon, Ga., agreed on a verdict to
the effect that Mrs. Pottle came to her
death from wounds inflicted by some
blunt instrument in the hands of the
negro, Allen Fuller. The verdict lias
been unanimously approved by the
public, and there was a great deal of
excitement just after the conclusion
was reached.
The negro was sent at once to Atlan¬
ta for safe keeping.
Fuller has made a partial confession
admitting that he was present when
Mrs. Pottle was murdered aud stating
that Alfred Redd, the other negro un¬
der arrest in Macon, did the killing.

MESSAGE STOPPED IT.
Rebellious Cuban* Have Given Up Idea oi
Making Trouble.
Advices from Havana, Cuba, state
that the report that several Cubans
from Havana have been endeavoring
to collect funds among the Tampa
cigar makers and to incite feeling
against the Americans is discredited,
It is admitted, however, that such a
project may have been contemplated
prior to President McKinley’s mossage
to congress. In the light of that dee
laration of the policy of the Washing
ton government, representative Cubans
in Havana feel that they have no cause
to doubt the good faith of the United
Slates.

Subject: The World ns It Will Be—Im¬
provement in Humnn Conditions After
the Earth Has Been llevolntlonized
For Good—The Coming Century.
[Copyright, Louis Klopsch, ISM.]
WAsnisoTov, D. C.—By a novel mode Dr.
'jjalmage in this discourse shows how the
world will look after it has been revolu¬
tionized for good; text, XI Petor iii., 13.
“A new earth, wherein dwellethrighteous¬
ness.”
Down in tho struggle to make the world
better and happier wo sometimes get de¬
pressed with the obstacles to be overcome
and the work to be accomplished. Wilt It
not be a toulc an 1 an inspiration to look
at the world as it will be when it has been
brought let back to puradisuical condition?
So us for n few moments transport our¬
selves into the future nnd put ourselves
forward in the eenturies aud see the world
in Us rescued aud perfected state, as we
will see it if In those times wo are permit¬
ted to revisit tills planet, ns I nm sure we
will. Wo all want to see tho world after it
1ms been thoroughly gospelized and all
wrongs have been righted. Wo will want
to come back, and we will eomo baek to
look upou the refulgent consummation to¬
ward which we have been on larger or
smaller scale toiling. Having heard the
opening of the orchestra on whoso strings
some discords traveled, we will want to
hear tho last triumphant bar of the per¬
fected oratorio. Having scon the picture
as tho painter will drew its first outlines upon
canvas, we want to see it when it is as
complete ns Reubens’ “Descent Prom the
Cross” or Michael Angelo’s “Last Judg¬
ment.” Having seen tho world under the
gleam of the star of Bethlehem, we will
want to see it when, under the full shining
of the sun of righteousness, tho tovver3
shall strike 12 at noon.
There will be nothing in that coming cen¬
tury of tho world’s perfection to hinder
our terrestrial visit. Our power and velo¬
city of locomotion w!U have been improved
infinitely. It will not take uslong locome
here, howdver far off in God’s universe
heaven may be. The Bibio declares that
such visitation is going on now. “Are they
not all ministoring spirits sent forth to
minister to those who shall he heirs of sal¬
vation?” Surely the gates of heavon will
not be bolted after tho world is Edenized
so as to hinder the redeemed from descend¬
ing for a tour of inspection und congratu¬
lation and triumph.
You know with what interest wo look
upon ruins—'ruius of Kenilworth eastle,
ruins of Melrose abbey, ruins of Borne,
ruins of Pompeii. So this world in ruins is
an enchantment to look at, but we want to
see it when rebuilt, repillarod, retowered,
realtered, rededteated. The exact date of
the world’s moral restoraliou I cannot
foretell. It may ho that through mighty
awakenings it will take place in the middle
of tho nearby twentieth century. It may
bo at the opening of tho twenty-first cen¬
tury, but it would not bo surprising if it
took more than 100 years to correct the
ravages of sin which have rnged for 6000
years. The chief missionary aud evangel¬
istic enterprises were started in this cen¬
tury, and be not dismayed if it takes a
couple of centuries to overcome evils that
have had full swing for sixty centuries. I
take no responsibility in saying on what
page of tho earthly calendar it will roll in,
but God’s eternal veracity is sworn to it
that it will roll in, aud as the redeemed in
heaven do as they please and have all the
facilities of transit from world to world,
you nnd I, my hearer or reader, will come
and look at whut my text calls “A new
earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
I imagine that we are desceading at that
period of the world’s complete gospoliza
tion. There will be no peril in such a de¬
scent. Great heights and depths have no
alarm for glorified spirits. 1Yo can come
down through chasms between worlds
without growing dizzy and across the
spaces ot half the u-piverse without losing
our way. Down and farther down wecome.
As we approach this world wo breathe the
perfume of illimitable gardens. Elorallza
tion that in centuries past was here and
there walled in lost reckless and dishonest
hands pluck or despoil it surges its billows hijl
ot color across the flejids aud up tbg
Bide^snd that which* was dei&rt blossipns
as the rose. AH the) foreheads of crag
crowned with fiowerB, ;ho feet of the moun¬
tains slippered with flowers! Oh, this per¬
fume ot the continents,this aroma of hemi¬
spheres! As we approach nearer and nearer
we hear songs nnd laughter and hosannas,
but not one groan of distress, not one sob
of bereavement, not one clank of chain.
Alighted on the redeemed earth, we are
first accosted by the Spirit of the twenty
first century, who proposes to guide and
show us all that we desire to see. Without
His guidance wo would lose our way, for
the world is so much changed from the
time when we lived In it. First of all, He
points out to us a group of abandoned
buildings. We ask this Spirit of the twen¬
ty-first century, “What are those struc¬
tures whose wail3 are falling down nnd
whose gates are rusted on the binges?”
Our escort tolls us: “Those were once
penitentiaries filled with offenders, but tho
crime of the world has died out. Theft
and arson nnd fraud and violence have
quitted tho earth. .People have all they
want, and uhy should they appropriate
the property of others even If they had tho
desire? The marauders, tho assassins, tho
buccaneers, ruffians, the Herods, bandits, the Nana Sahibs,
the the are dead or,
transformed by the power of the Christian
religion, are now upright and beneficent
and usofui.
After passing on amid columns and
statues erected in memory of those who
huvo been mighty for goodness in tho
world’s history, the highest and the most
exquisitely sculptured those in honor of
such as have been most effectual In saving
life or improving life rather than those re¬
nowned for destroying life, we come upon
another group of buildings that must have
bean transformed from their original shape
nnd adapted to other use3. “What is all
this?” we ask our escort. He answers:
“Those were almshouses and hospitals,
but accuracy in making aud prudence in
running machinery of all sort3 have almost
abolished the list ot casualties, and sobriety
and industry have nearly abolished pau¬
perism, so that those buildings which once
were hospitals aud ulmshouses have been
turned into beautiful hemes for the less
prospered, and if you will look in you will
see the poorest tuble has abundance, and
the smallest wurdrobo luxury, nnd the
harp, waiting to have Us strings thrummed,
leaning against the piano, waiting tor its
keys to be fingered.
“Hospitals und almshouses must have
been a necessity once, but they would be
useless now. And you seo ull the swamps
have been drained, tbe sewerage of tho
great towns has been perfected, and the
world’s climate is so improved that there
are no pneumonias to come out of the cold,
or rheumatisms out of the dampness, or
fevers out of thelieat. Consumptions ban¬
ished, pneumonias banished, diphtheria
banished, ophthalmia banished, neuralgias
banished. As nenr as I can tell from what
I have read, our atmosphere of this cent
ury is a mingling of the two months ot
May nnd October of the nineteenth cent¬
ury.”
But I say to our escort: “Did all this
merely linppen so? Are all tho good here
spontaneously good? How did you get the
old shipwrecked world afloat again, out of
tho breakers into the smooth seas?” “No,
no!” responds our twenty-first century es¬
cort. “Do you see those towers? Those
are the towers of churches, towers of re¬
formatory Institutions, towers ot Christian
schools. Walk with me, and Jet us enter
some of these temples.” We enter, aud I
find that the music is in the major key and
none of it in the minor. "Gloria In Ex
celsls” rising above "Gloria In Excelsis.”
Tremolo stop in the organ not so much used
as the trumpet stop. More ol Ariel than ol
Naomi. More chants than dirges. Not a
thin song, tho words of which no one un¬
derstands on tho lip of a soloist, but mighty
bnrmoniesthat roll from the outside door
to chuncel and from floor to groined rafter
as though Handel had oome out ot the
eighteenth century into the twenty-first
and had his foot on the organ pedal, and
Thomas Hastings had come out of the early
part of the nineteenth century into the
twenty-first nnd were leading the voices.
Music that moves the earth and makes
heaven listen!
But I say to our twenty-first century es¬
cort; “I cannot understand this. Have
these worshipers no sorrows, or have they
forgotten their sorrows?" Our esoort re
sponds: "Borrows! Why, they had sorrows
more than you could count, but by a di
vino illumination that tho eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries never enjoyed they
understand the uses of sorrow and are com¬
forted with a supernatural condolence
such as previous eenturies .never experi¬
enced.”
I ask again of the interpreter, “Has
death been banished from the world?”
The answer is, “No, but people die now
only when the physical machinery is worn
out, aud they realize it is time to go and
that they are certainly and without doubt
going into a world where they will be in
Unitely better oil and are to live in a man¬
sion tbut awaits their immediate oc¬
cupancy.” But how was all this effeotod?”
tusk gospel our escort. Answer: lived “By in the flood of
power. Yon who nine¬
teenth century never saw a revival of reli¬
gion to be compared with wliat occurred
In the latter part of the twoutieth and the
early part ot me tweuty-hrst fulfilled century. that
The prophecy has been ‘a
nation shall be born in a day’—tliat is, ten
or twenty or forty million people converted
in twenty-four hours. In our church his¬
tory wo read of the great awakening of
1857, when five hundred thousand souls
were saved. But that was only a drop of
the coming showers that siuee then took
into the kingdom of God everything be¬
tween the Atlantic and the Baoiile, bo
tween tho Pyrenees and the Himalayas.”
The evils that good trying people destroy were ia have the
nineteenth century to
been overcome by celestial forces. What
human weaponry failed to accomplish has
been done by omnipotent thunderbolts.
As you and I see in this terrostriul visit
atlon of tbo coming centuries that tho
Church has under God accomplished so
much, we ask our escort, tho spirit of the
twenty-first century, to show us the differ¬
ent sines ot churefios. bo we ate taken in
am! oat of tho churches of different denom¬
inations, and we find that they are just as
different in the twenty-11 rtt century us they
wore different In the nineteenth when wo
worshiped in them. There is unity in thorn
us to the great essentials ot salvation. But
we enter the Baptist Church, and it is bap¬
tismal day, and wo sea the candidates for
membership immersed. And we go into a
Presbyterian Church and see a group holding of
parents around the baptismal christening. font And

At least fifty kinds of chnrohes in the
twenty-first century, as there were 150 dif¬
ferent" kinds of churches in tho nineteenth
century.
“O spirit ot the twenty-first century, will
you not show us something of the commer¬
cial life ot your time?” He answers, “To¬
morrow I will show you all.” And on the
morrow he takes us through tho great
marts of trade and»shows us tho bargain
makers and the shelves on which the good3
lay and the tiercos and hogsheads in which
they are contained. I notice that tho
fabrics are of better quality than anything
I ever saw in our nineteenth century, for
the factories are more skillful, and tho
wheels that turn and the looms that clack
and the engines that rumble are driven by
force that wore not a century ago discov¬

HARGIS CHARGfcS FRAID.
Argument In Case of Contested
Kentucky Counties Closed
at Frankfort.
hearing Thursday was the closing day of the
of argument in the cases of
the contested counties at Frankfort,
Ivy., and the speech of Judge Hargis,
who closed the argument for the Goe¬
bel ticket, occupied two and a half
hours. Ho went into much detail re¬
garding the alleged Republican frauds
in tho city of Louisville and ho de¬
clared that the vote of that city ought
to be thrown out. He declared that
all kinds of frauds bad been perpe¬
trated.
In closing, the judge said that the
legislature was the proper tribunal
before which all contests should be
taken, and he intimated that this
course will be takeD if the board gives
the election to Goebel.
Immediately after the board ad¬
journed, Judge Pryor announced that,
it would not reconuene until it had
made its decision, which would be re¬
duced to writing aud which will con¬
tain about 6,00t) words.
The members of the board have
been diligent in trying to find all the
authorities they can on the subject of
elections nnd they say they will give
the cases before them all the thought
and attention possible. They are so
tired of their bard work, however,that
they will resign as soon as their de¬
cision is rendered, and the incoming
legislature if it does not repeal the
Goebel election law, will have to elect
new commissioners. The strain on
them Las been very great and the
many threats of personal violence they
received have render the position all
tho more distateful.

THE IOWA LIFE

their full value. The law of Iowa requires of every regular Life
Insurance Company organized in that State a deposit with th6
Auditor of State of approved securities amounting to the net cash
value of all the policies which they have issued and in force at the
end of every year. Therefore all policy-holders in an Iowa Compa¬

and loan values, paid-up or extended Insurance, equivalent to thd
full reserve value.
