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 aud the defeat of the measure pro- 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. AHoa. 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. SHOT MOTHER AM) BABE. Tratlegy Heeutlod From Quarrel’ Between Two Men. Lucy Carbon and her child in arms, were killed near Adairsville, Ga., Fri¬ day, by Jim Mayfield. Frank Bird was also wouuded by the same shot which killed mother and daughter. The men were at the woman’s houBe and quarreled over some trival matter. The murderer escaped. 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. PEOPLE’S PARTY LEADERS Meet In Memphla and Arrange For the National Convention.

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 up their oliildron for the we enter the Episcopal Church and hear tho solemn roll of her liturgies, nnd her ministers are gowned and surpliced. And wo enter the Lutheran Church, and wo hear in the sermon preaehed reformers. the doctrines And of the greatest of Gorman we go into the Methodist Church ju3t in time to sit down at a love feast and give audible “Amen” when the service stirs us. 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¬ ered. The prices of the fabrics indicate a rea¬ sonable profit, and the firm In the count¬ ing room and the clerks at the counter aud the draymen at the doorway and the errand hoy on his rounds mall and and the the mes songer who brings tho men who open the store in the morning as well as those who close it at night all look as it thoy were sallsfied and well treated.

No purchasing right of goods that will nevtr be AH behind the counter; all right beforo the counter. No repetition of what Solomon describes when lie writes, “It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer, but when he is gone his Way then be botsteth.” O spirit of the twenty-first, showed ccjtfiijA uslhese jboWy« stores 1 ad nnd I factories am. that you nnd places of bargain and salel It was not always so in the nineteenth century, when we were earthly residents. Many ol those merchants who are good at ciphering out other rules in arithmetionover could cipher out that sum in the rule of loss aud gain, ‘What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lost his soul?” the “But,” I say to our escort, the Spirit aud of I twenty-first century, and you say to each other, “we must go homo cow, back again to heaven. Wo have staid long enough on this terrestrial visitation to see that all the best things foretold in the Scriptures and which we read during our earthly residence have come to pass, and all the Davidie, Solomonic and Pauliniau aud Johannean prophecies have been ful¬ filled, aud that the earth, instead ot be¬ ing a ghastly failure, is tho migbtiet suc¬ cess in the universe. A star redeemed. A planet reseuedl A world saved! It started with a garden, and It is going to close with a garden. What a happiness that wo could have seen this old world after it was righted and boforo it burned, for its in¬ ternal fires have nearly burned out to the crust, according to the geologist, mak¬ ing it easy for the theologian to be¬ lieve in tho conflagration that the Bible predicts.

And, standing on steps of the house of many mansions, we cry aloud the news: “Heur it, ull ye glorified Christian workers of all the past centuries!

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. ROBERTS ISSUES ADDRESS.
