Everybody appeared anx ioue to get down to business. Accord Ing to tho program agreed upon, amendments to the blit, substitutes for It and amendments to the substitutes were on the clerk's desk. The reading of these amendments consumed but little time, and when the time for the debate opened there Was a hush of expectancy, It waa Seaborn Wright, of Floyd, who opened the battle of oratory. For twenty and one-half minutes he spoke, and everybody in the house listened, He reviewed the amendments and sub stltuteB which had been offered and hla words showed that In trying to change or alter the measure decided upon after careful deliberation by the majority, the minority was rushing against a stone wall. Adams, of Chatham, led the attack against this stone wall, In a speech ot seventeen minutes. It was forceful. It was eloquent. But with all Its force and eloquence, it lacked convincing power, and when It was finished not a rent was there In the stone wall. Other speakers followed on both •Idea, but It waa easy to see that while they were enjoyed by many members, they were not changing any vote*. A* one member of the house explained while be rested In an ante room at full length upon a couch, every member had his mind made up one way or an other and all the argument and oratory In seven states would not change It. Speaker Slaton, with that grace and falrneea which has marked hie career aa presiding officer of the lower house, added to his laurels by the manner In which h* officiated during the day. A pleasant smile greeted the name of each speaker announced, and It waa always with an expression of regret that he brought down his gavel In the midst of an eloquent burst when the speaker’s time had expired. The last speaker during the morning session was Payton, of Worth, for the prohibitionists, and his five minutes ex. ptred one minute after 1 o'clock. Excellent progress had been made and both antis and prohls were Jubilant tn the belief that the end would come early In tbe evening. The morning de bate 1u4 commenced at 10:12 o'clock, with Wright, of Floyd, and when Mr. Payton concluded, eighteen speakers had given their views. With the opening ot tbe afternoon seaston, at 2 o'clock, tbe crowds In the corridors Increased, but the vigil of the doorkeepers had not lessened In the least and entrance to tho chamber was as difficult os In the morning. Toward evening recruits In large numbers were added to the watting multitude In the corridors so that when the voting etarted, at 4:30 o'clock, there was an Immense throng. More amendments and substitute! were submitted at the opening of the afternoon session, and It was a half hour after the opening of the session before the debate was continued. It was agreed that each side take an hour and the time for the voting wae finally fixed. Speaker after speaker told hla views. Occasionally one member would enliven the monotony of the proceedings by an especially vigorous tallu which would rook* the members sit up and take no tice. Sheffield, of Decatur, waa one of these. . w Many a glance was thrown at the clock and one and all began to long for the time when the day’s labor woukl be finished. Finally Dunbar, of Richmond, be who calmly sad coolly led tbe fa mous filibuster, concluded for the antis. Covington Clorao Debate. Then, In a short speech of twelve ndnutee that had more cold facts, con vincing argument, clever Illustrations and bunts of eloquencq Injected Into It than any for several hours. Covington, of Colquitt, one of the bill's authors, concluded the debate. The time for that giant wave to en gulf all before it had arrived. The moment when that Irresistible stone wall would withstand all attacks had come. The vote on the amendments aa sub mitted by the committee wae put. and each of these wa* carried with a roar. Ayes and pays were called for, but the result was the same. At first the antis mustered all their strength. Later, on viva voce vote, the sound of the antis wa* lost In the ruer made by the prohls. Stragglers In the ante rooms opposed to the bill admitted that ail waa lost. Not one was there with any hope of even postponing the bill going Into cf- SEMI-ANNUAL STATEMENT For the six months ending Juno 30. 1907, of the condition of tho North American Accident Insurance Company, OF CHICAGO, Organized under the law* of the state of Illinois, made to the covernor of the state of Georgia, In pursuance of the laws of said state.

None there was who hoped for any amendment that would remove the sting of the whisky interests. Except for two amendments by Wright, of Floyd, and Wise, of Fay ette. which made the bill even stronger, It was not molested. There was no weakening and graaptng at opportu nities to side-step. And none wanted to. The vote on the Barrow amendment, to postpone making tbe bill effective until January 1, 1908.-find making, the state license $1,000 In the meantime, waa the first lest vote as to the prohi bition strength. This vote of 128 to 48 filtered through the doors Into the corridors and wae eagerly received by tbe waiting throng. A mighty shout went up. As the time approached for the vote on the original bill, as amended, Speak er Slaton urged upon the members of the house that there be no demonstra tion, no master what the result. He called attention to the crowd In the corridors and asked tbe lawmakers to show by their silence that they could obey the laws they made. Mr. Cov ington, of Colquitt, urged, the members In a similar fashion In his speech. The final roll call on the bill—the call that was to make Tuesday's session of the lower 'house one that would be marked from any other In many yeara —commenced at 8:45 o’clock. Each member was allowed three minutes to explain his vote. Some took advantage of this. Many others did not. Rogers, of McIntosh, the only colored member of the body, had asked about this several times. He wanted to ex plain, and he wanted to go on record. His was the first speech that came from him during the consideration of the bill. All was attention a* ho de clared that he would rather resign and retire for the balance trf his life than cast his vote against a measure which he thought would not only benefit hla race, but tne entire state. Eagerly were the votes counted as recorded. Reporters anxiously counted those voting In favor of the bill until the majority of 12 was reached. A Rush to 8pread News. Parker, of TalboL was the man. and there was a rush to telephones. Even before the news conld be telephoned to tired men waiting to rush extras to tbe thousands on the streets, the crowds In the corridor learned It. A roar that echoed and re-echoed throughout the big building went up. People on the streets took It up. This was at 7:10 o'clock. Forty-three min utes afterwards, at 7:25 o'clock, Young voted, and the fight of years for the dethronement of the liquor power was won. .. . And while the house adjourned and the members quietly withdrew. Joyous shouts, such as never before heard In the cnpltol, went up from thousands of throats. Seaborn Wright was seised by the Joy-maddened throng and bodily car ried on shoulders. Outside the building another throng'augmented the one In the capital and a celebrating army marched through the streets, celebrat ing the victory and singing the praises of the 139 whose names will go down In Oeorgla history to posterity.
