After much discussion pro and con, the lower house of representatives Wednesday morning voted to adjourn until next Monday morning, the fhree week days Intervening to be consid ered non-legislative days and to be added to the end of the session. The house was In favor of the prop osition to adjourn but sentiment was divided upon the question of whether the three days’ vacation should be (onsldered dies non. pr non-Ieglslatlve days, or whether they should be con sidered a part of the allotted fifty days, just as If the house was in ses sion. A compromise was effected pro viding that only Friday and Saturday he considered non-legislative days, but the senate balked at the proposition mid mlded an amendment Including Thursday. The amendment was final ly concurred In by the house. The report of the committee appoint ed to Investigate the claims of George K. Atwood to the seat of W. H. Rogers, the negro member from McIntosh lount.v, was read to the house Wed nesday and adopted after considerable discussion. Mr. Sheffield, of Decatur, opposed the adoption of the report. Representative McIntyre, of Thomas, introduced a bill Wednesday making it a misdemeanor for a conductor on a i ail road, electric railway or common carrier to collect fare from a passenger who lias no seat. The bill Is framed as to go Into effect immediately rfter its passage. The house was called to order by Speaker Slaton at 10 o’clock Wednes day morning and was led In prayer by rhnplaln Parks. Mr. Perry, of Hall, Introduced a reso lution asking that the speaker an nounce the committee on rules so that the house may get down to business. "We have been here a week and have made no progress,” declared Mr. Perry. "I have seen great conventions In ses sion with 400 and 500 members and they appoint their committees, transact important business and adjourn In two or three days. "Pour-fifths of the bills already In troduced will never be reached anyhow, and It Is time we were getting down to business.” Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond; Mr. Hall, of Bibb, and Mr. Slater, of Bryan, op posed the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Hall declared that t|ie sfieaker must have time In which to appoint his committees, and that It la unfair to at tempt to hurry him In the discharge of that duty. On motion of Mr. Flanders, of John son. the resolution was overwhelming ly defeated. on motion of Mr. Hall, of Bibb, the house took from the table the resolu tion introduced Tuesday, which provid ed that the house adjourn until Mon day. Mr. Whitley, of Douglae, offered an .amendment making the days of ad journment dies non. Mr. McMlchael, of Marlon, offered an amendment to the effect that only Fri day and Saturday be considered dies cut, capable young business man, who Is coming more and more to take a deep and wholesome interest In politics. Mr. Shaw has the distinction of being the only traveling man In the body of 183 men In the lower house. For a long while he has represented the McCaw Manufacturing Company, of Macon, and has sold their goods all over the state. He has a direct, straightforward way of saying things. He has opinions about affairs, and expresses them with out quibbling or circumlocution. He Is a prohibitionist of the most pronounced type, and believes tn the most rigid restrictions for controlling the llquofi traffic. And he Is against Immigration, even more strongly than he is for pro hibition, If that is possible. Mr. Shaw is quietly studying law, and expects to be admitted to the bar within a year. Down 1n Clay county they think mighty well of him. and say that still further honors will be his In the future. EMMETT R. SHAW. He is a good type of modern hustling business mun.
