The house Friday concurred In the senate amendment to the prohibition bill, which simply straightened out a technical fault. The bill Is now ready to go to Gov 1 ernor Smith for his signature, as soon as It has been enrolled. It Is expected that the senate journal clerk will have the completed measure engrossed and enrolled Saturday, and that the bill will get to the governor for his signature Monday. The house met at 10 o’clock Friday morning and was led In prayer by Rev. A. R. Bolderby. By unanimous consent the reading of the journal was dis pensed with. In accordance' with the action of the house In setting house bill 628 as a special order for Friday, the bill was taken up by the house and put upon Its passage. The bill was Introduced by Mr. Smith, of Campbell, and requires ths National Guard of Georgia to conform to the provisions of the Dick national law, In order that the troops of Georgia may receive the allotted appropriation of 862,000 per year. The Dick low pro vides that all state troops shall be or ganised Just as the regular army of the United States. Ths 8tste Troops. Mr. Smith, explained the effect of his bill as follows: "The Dick bill makes the state troops the flrst ressrve of ths United States army and requires thorn to be equipped and organized just as the regular army. Unless the state troops conform to these provisions they will not be classed among the flret reserves and consequently will not get any of this money especially appropriated by the United States." In response to a question from Mr. Wright, of Floyd, Mr. Smith stated that If the bill was passed It would have the effect of lessening the military appro priations by the state. Mr. Candler, of DeKalb, also spoke In favor of the bill and explained that it Involved no additional expense to the state, and only requires the state troops to change their organisation from a regimental to a brigade organi sation. The bill was passed by a vote of 104 to 0. Prohibition Bill. Upon request of Mr. Candler, of De- Kalb, the house granted unanimous consent to taking up the prohibition bill for the purpose of concurring In tho senate amendment correcting a technical error. The houee concurred In the amend ment. The next bill taken up waa that of Mr. Whaley, of Douglas, prohibiting the sale of drugs and narcotics except upon prescriptions of physicians. The bill provide* that It shall be un lawful for any person, firm or corpora tion to sell or give away any cocaine, olpha or beta eucalne, opium, mor phine, etc., except upon the written prescription of a physician. The bill does not apply to prepara tions containing not more than two grains of opium, one-eighth grain of cocaine, one-fourth grain of heroin or ten grains of chloral hydrat In one fluid ounce. It also does not apply to preparations containing opium and recommended and sold In good faith for diarrhea and cholera, nor to pow der of Ipecac and opium, commonly known as Dover's powders. Physicians May Prescribe. The bill makes It a misdemeanor for any practitioner of medicine to fur nish any of the drugs mentioned In the bill to anyone who Is habitually ad dicted to their use. It provides, how ever, that a physician may furnish to any habitual user of a narcotic who Is under his professional care, such quan tities of drugs as he may deem neces sary. Under the, provisions of the blit alt Judges of superior courts are required to charge all regular Impanelled irrand Juries to diligently Inquire Into and In vestigate all cases of violation of the provisions of ths bill. The board of pharmacy is also required to prosecute any and all persons who are guilty of its violation. Mr. Wright, of Floyd, moved to’table the bill on account of the absence of a number of members of the house. The motion prevailed. Passes Terrell Bill. The house next took up the bill of Mr. Terrell, of Grady, which provides for changing the method of settling disputes between property owners and tax receivers in regard to property val uation. Under the present law In cases of such dispute, the tax receiver and the property owner may each appoint an arbitrator and these two may appoint a third. The bill of Mr. Terrell provides that the board of county commissioners shall be constituted a board of arbitra tion. who may be appealed to ln ( cases LIITLE CULLS VICTIMS OF Two Attacked Friday in N.

Jury Indicted Bride and Groom Clinton, III., Aug. 2.—The sensational Magill case reached a critical stage this morning when Indictments were re turned In Judge Cochrane's court against Fred H. Magill, the , former banker and his young bride, Faye Gra ham Magill, charging them with the murder of Maglll's flrst wife, Mrs. "Pet" Magill. The prisoners' faces blanched percep tibly as they stood before the bench and heard read the Indictments by the grand Jury. NATIVES CONTROL MOROCCAN TOWN The “Texas” Saved Our Armies; Now Let Georgia Save “Texas.” The Georgian believes there is too much patriotism abroad in Georgia to permit the engine “Texas” to go to the scrap-pile. To prove this. The Georgian proposes a popular subscription to purchase it and present it to the state, to be installed some where within the capitol grounds. By popular subscription, The Georgiau means just that—Let every boy and girl in Georgia, who loves the state and glories in its traditions, contribute what he or she feels like and can af ford. The amount necessary to save the historic engine from the scrap-heap is not large—only what it would bring -as junk— not more than a few hundred dollars at most. This can quick ly be made up with the dimes and quarters of Georgia hoys and girls and the dollars of the grown-ups. You all know the story, don’t you!—how the engine “Gen eral” on their raid into Georgia Andrews and his raiders stole to ent off supplies from Hood and Johnston, and how the “Tpxas” chased and captured her, saving the two Confederate armies. The history of the war doesn’t furnish a more thrilling incident, and good Cracker blood will never grow so sluggish that it will not fpucken at its recital. • It’s a good thing now and then to gratify patriotic im pulses, and The Georgian can’t help but feel that Georgia will be sorry some day if the “Texas is allowed to be battered into junk. Think it over, boys and girls, and if any of you doesn’t know the story, get your elders to tell it to you. Then send in your dimes and quarters to save the game old engine “Texas.” The Georgian starts the fund with five dollars, because it wants the movement to be genuinely popular—of the people—and doesn’t want to frighten any one from giving the smallest sum he feels able to give. Pill out the blank and send it with whatever amount you want to contribute. To The Atlanta Georgian: I herewith contribute to help buy the engine “Texas” and give it to the state of Georgia. Name Address WON’T HURT ATLANTA, SAYS BIG DRUG FIRM ‘•Prohibition will not hurt Atlanta. It will necessitate a readjustment, and a slight chango In affairs will be notice able for about six months—probably not any longer." 1 This Is the statement of T. H. Bran non, of Brannen & Anthony, the wsll- known druggists. The statement, com ing as It does from one of the most prominent of Atlanta's business men, ts significant In Itself, but Is made pecu liarly so tn that the firm of which Mr. Brannen Is a member has been selling whisky and wines for years. Mr. Brannen is of the firm opinion that the bill will not hurt his drug business, and rejoices over the fact that It was made as drastic and rigid as possible. He gave a complete, clear statement of his position to a represen tative of The Georgian Friday morn ing. “We favored local option," he said, "and we have no apology to make for our stand. We sold whisky and we have no apology for that. It was a legalised, legitimate business, and I can truthfully say that, despite the temp tations, we never violated the law In a single Instance. “Now that the prohibition bill has passed, we have every reason to be lieve It will not affect our business, other than the particular department to which It directly relates. We are glad It was drastic and we appreciate the fact that It did not place the bur den of supplying liquors on the drug stores. The bill save* the reputation and Jkogor of the drug lnx-in—H -ui- keep* It from-tatting Into dhtiespret. “We want to see the law enforced, and to this end intend to assist In every way we can. The honor and sincerity of antl-prohibitlonists and prohibition ists and local optlonlsts can be depend ed upon to see tho law enforced and to give It a fair trial. We do not see how Atlanta can be greatly affected. It will require a readjustment to some extent and will necessitate a slight change for a few months. That is all. "We don't expect the drug business to bo less, but have reason to believe that it will be better, and believe fur ther that 90 per cent of the druggists of the state agree with us that It waa to the best Interests of the business that the blit was made stringent and drastic. Put us down as faithful supporters of the law when It becomes effective. We are ready to Join hands with all those Interested to mako At lanta what It should be and we Intend to run a progressive drug store with out any whisky.” VARDAMAN GAINING COUNTR Y DISTRICTS Special to The Georgian. Jackson, Miss., Aug. 2.—Figures in the senatorial race are hard to get as the returns are coming In slower than ever known before. Out of 48 coun ties heard from Williams leads by about 7,000. Special to The Georgian. Jackson, Miss., Aug. 2.—At 11 o'clock this morning Governor Varda- man, who Is receiving the returns over a private wire at the executive man sion. said that he was not willing to concede defeat Bnd hoped later returns would put him through. Returns are coming In rather slow today, but enough have been received to Indicate that John Sharp Williams has defeated Governor Vardaman for the senate by from 10,000 to 16,000 ma jority, though It will take the official count to determine the majority. Noel, of Holmes, and Scott, of Boli var. will run It out for governor In the second primary. LATE RETURNS INCREA8E WILLIAMS' MAJORITY. Special to The Georgian. Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 2.—In the Mississippi primary Williams leads Vardaman by 10,000 votes and claims 12,000. The Vardaman forces claim the race is even, so far. Late returns have In creased Williams’ majority. From the forty-two counties heard from Williams Is leading by about 8,000 with many big Williams counties to hear from. Tangier, Morocco, Aug. 2.—With 20,- 000 Moroccans camped about Casa blanca, the town Is virtually controlled by the natives. Alarmed by the pros pect of punishment for the massacre of Europeans, the natives are endeav oring to treat with the French aulhorl. ties. Accident Drew Crowd. A string of cars side-swiped engine No 81 of the N., C. & 8t. L. railway while the latter was under the Forsyth street bridge about 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, and the engine was nearly turned over. Only slight damage was done the engine, but Its shrill whistle following the near-dlsaster attracted a large crowd. GIRL’S FIDELITY TO FRIEND SA VES BOTH FROM PRISON; BOTH FREED BY GOVERNOR Branded with the hand of death and with her days numbered, Mrs. Narcla- sa Reynolds was releosifl from the county chalngang Friday morning, and that she Is not now wearing stripes of a county convict Is due to the faithful ness of her friend, Cordelia Rake. Both women were sent to the gang by Judge Calhoun on May 6 after be ing convicted of vagrancy. Mrs. Rey nolds was given eight months, while Cordelia Rake was sentenced to serve six months. Mrs. Reynolds was arrested by the police while soliciting funds with which fo get to Virginia, and later her friend and companion was arrested. For a month they remained In the Tower before they were tried. Then they were sent to the gang. A short time ago the Federation of Women's Clubs of Tampa. Fla., be came Interested in the case and sent a monster petition that they be par doned. City Warden Svane looked Into the case and It was upon his rec ommendation that the pardon board made a favorable report and Governor Smith pardoned them. But this might not have been done had not Cordelia Rake refused a par don. She was the one In which the women became Interested because her mother lives In Tampa and learned that her daughter had been sent to the Fulton county gang. When the matter was suggested to her she refused to be turned loose without her friend. "She needs me more now,” said Cor delia, “than she ever did. I won’t leave her here to die. She has consumption and I will nurse her." So that Is how Mrs. Reynolds became a party to the pardon. For several years Cordelia Rake, who Is about 24 years of age, has refused to leave Mrs. Reynolds. There seems to be a moat remarkable affection for the woman who Is slowly dying. Warden Evans will send them both to Tampa Friday, where work will be found for Cordelia and a home for Mrs. Reynolds. FAMOUS OLD ENGINE TO GO TO SCRAP PILE M. L. COLLIER. THE TEXAS AND HER BEST FRIEND. M. Lamar Collier, master mechanic, and the old locomotive have grown old together with ths Western and Atlantic railway. “The Texas” Chased Andrews’ Raiders and “The General” During War Be tween the States. Worn out with a half century of hard work, an old engine of the Western and Atlantic railroad that played a prominent part In one of the most ex citing and dramatic Incidents of the great Civil war is about to be sold for scrap iron. That 1b the fate that awaits this old engine, unless some one comes for ward with a paltry sum and takes the relic from the hands of the Junk man. And this is the fate of a locomotive that was the means of the capture of the famous 1 “General” and of probably saving the armies of Johnston and Hood at thdt time. The old locomotive Is the 'Texas/' and she has arrived In Atlanta at the Western and Atlantic shops, to be sold for scrap. No place In a museum has beeh prepared for the “Texas.’' The “General," which was running away as fast as steam could take her with An drews and his raiders aboard, Is guar/ ed closely In the union depot at Chai tanooga and her brass work Is dally polished and admiring tourists are told the part she played In the greatest war the world ever saw. But the old engine that was respon sible for the "General's" capture has been condemned to the scrap pile to be forgotten. Kept at Work for Years. Until a short time ago the “Texas,’ known now as No. 212, has been haul ing cars on a branch line of the West- ern and Atlantic at Emerson. O course, It wasn't hard work—the old “Texas" had reached that point tn age. where she could not do hard work. But It was work Just the same. She hauled cars on a three-mile branch line for the Amelia Milling Company. Hullt over fifty years ago by Dan- forth & Cooke, at Paterson, N. J., the old "Texas" at last reached a point where even the light work on 4he branch line wag too heavy. So the Texas" was elected to the stock of has-beens. She was put on a side track and weeds grew up around her rs and up to the running boards, came the massage from head quarters that made lumps rise In the throats of the old-timers on the West ern and Atlantic. “Send No. 212 to the Atlanta shops and sell her for Junk." That's how the message read, was tough, thought the old men who had served a llfe-tlme on the Western and Atlantic. But then they explained with a sigh that there was little senti ment left nowadays in this busy, money-getting, commercial life. So the old engine that Captain W. A. Fuller, the conductor of the train from which the "General" was stolen ut Big Stanty In April, 1862, and his brave band of volunteers used in the chase, was pushed down to Atlunta. When the old “Texas'’ was Impressed Into service by Captain Fuller In 1862 she wus pulling an express freight to Atlantu. The "General,” with the An drews raiders on board had passed her some time before at terrific speed. Chase of the General. The “Texas” demonstrated, however, that even by running backward and pushing along freight cars that the raiders had turned loose from their engine, the "General" could be over hauled. It was Peter Bracken who bundled the throttle of the “Texas" on that futnous run from Adalrsville to the point where the "General" was re captured. Fleming Cox was his fire man and Alonso Martin did the wood passing. The sume old throttle that Peter Bracken pulled wide open is still on the "Texas." The same old driv ing wheels that turned so rapidly and the same old-fashioned pump that shot water Into her boiler Is In position. Even the old bell Is In place. In fact, the "Texas," as she Is waiting for the Junk pile, stands today Just like she was In April, 1862, except for a new boiler that M. L. Collier put in In 1875 and for the smoke stack which was substituted for the old wood-burn ing type. Loves the Old Texas. "I hate to see her go to the scrap ,.}Ie,” said M. L. Collier, master me chanic of the Western and Atlantic bhops. And he gaxed pathetically at the old engine ns If tho "Texas" might be a member of his family. "The Texas’ and I have been with the road a long time and when 'she goes it makes me think my time has come. That old engine saved the armies of Johnston and Ilood from having tneir supplies cut off* Tho General' has a place of honor, but'the poor old ‘Texas'* Is worn out and she must go the way of other old en gines." Who will save her? JULY COTTON CROP HAS AVERAGE 75.0 Government Report at Noon Friday Sliows Actual Conditions.

When Secretary Julian received a formal certificate from the clerk of the circuit court for Talladega county, which declared that the Southern rail way had removed a case from that court to the United States court for tho northern district of Alabama, he immediately cancelled the license qf the Southern.

Thus every employee of tho Southern railway In Alabama is now subject to arrest under this section of the new law. At Just what point the administration will aim Its first blow cannot be ascertained. Governor Comer IS much Interested In th* outcome of the case. To the Hearn Nkwt Service Friday morning he expressed his views In t|)e follow ing manner: "I am a firm believer In a Mate's right to manage its Internal affairs. It Is my opinion that the law of the legis lature governing these affairs should be tested by the highest tribunal of the land, after having gone through our state courts and not swept ruth lessly aside by a subsidiary federal court.
