The eenate had a bit ot fun Friday

form charge of 12 for marriage
censes In Georgia.
Senator Peacock thought It ought
be $1.60, and Senator Hays Introduced,
an amendment to that effect. Sena-

'Look how all eorts of commodities
havo gone up In price." he eald. "Why
not marriage licensee? It le worth
of any man'e money to get a pretty,
eweet girl tp marry him."
But the $1.60 crowd ecemed to be
the aecendency, so Senator Gordy
moved to table the bill until more
members were present.
The eenate ground away Indue'
trlouely on buetneee Friday, and wiped
the docket clean beforo adjourning un
til Monday. Senator Brock wants
Increaee the pay of the prleon com

FISH MAKES HARRIMAN
ANANIAS CLUB MEMBER
New York, Aug. The E. H, Har-
rlman and Stuyveeant Fleh fight which
haa been emolderlng elnco Mr. llarrl-
man got the upper hand In November,
190$, and put hie own man In aa presi
dent of the Illinois Central In place
of Mr. Fleh, hne blazed up In fine
style.
Sir. Fleh first sent out a statement
about the Illinois Central in which he
called attention to the smallness ot
Mr. Harrlman’s stockholdings In com
parison with his own and said that
while he did not Intend to enter into
an active campaign for re-election to
the presidency he hud received from
stockholders a Igrge number of unso
licited proztes and would be on hand
at the meeting to vote them In addi
tion to his own nnd the stock of hts
close uasoclates In the company.
When Mr. Harrtman was shown this
statement, he said:
"I am the largest stockholder In Illi
nois Central and I always have been
ever since I went Into It. I own more
shares than Mr. Fish severul times
over and he knows It."
"Mr. Fish says you own only 130
shares."
"He has said a lot of things lately
that were not—well, that were not Just
right.”
At Mr. Fish's office In the National
Purk bank building, the statement of
Mr. Hurrlmnn was repeated to him. Mr.
Fleh grew scarlet. He leaned forward
In his chair and said:
“If he said that he lies and you can
print that I said so.”

MORTON’S BUTLER
RETIRES ON $100,000
Poughkeepsie, N. Y.. Aug. 2.—Robert
Stubbs*, for years butler in the home of
I.erl P. Morton, ha. retired from hi.
position with a fortune of $100,004 and
ha. returned to England, hi. native
country, to live.
The management of the .tate asylum
for the Insane at Mfiledgevltle %vas se
verely arraigned by Mr. Hall, of Bibb,
the meeting of the house committee
appropriation. Thursday afternoon,
anil as the result of his charge, that
the Institution Is extravagantly man
aged, the committee adopted a motion
■ Mr. Wright, of Floyd, that a resolu
tion be presented to the house asking
that a committee of two from the house
•d one from the senate be appointed
Investigate. -
The charges against the Institution
ere made by Mr. Hall during the
committee’s consideration of the re
quest for an appropriation of $393,200
for the year, 1908, and $399,600 for the
ear 1909.
This Is the most eztravnguntly
managed Institution In the state," de
clared Mr. Hall. “That thing Is too
enormous for any one man to manage
and a committee should be appointed to
change the laws and reorganize the
whole thing. Every year this appro
priation grows from $25,000 to $.0,000,
and the system of bookkeeping In the
past ha* Iseen rotten.
K.ot No Books.
"In 1903 I was a member of the com
mittee which visited thl* Institution
nn*l we found no books were being
’•cut at all. Wi:
legislature we recommended that the
man at the head of the Institution be
removed, and when Governor Terrell
later appointed a bookkeeper for the
place the trustees tried to remove him,
but failed.”
Mr. Hall ,was asked If there Is 'any
thing wrong at the Institution at the
present time, and he replied that "God
only knows." He stated that he Is In
favor of changing the law so that five
or six men can look after the state’s In
terest there.
Before the motion of Mr. Wright
looking to the appointment of an In
vestigating committee was adopted. It
was amended by Mr. Alexander, of De-
Kalb, to the effect that the legislature
also be asked to send an expert ac
countant to look Into the accounts of
the Institution.
The committee finally decided upon
an appropriation of $390,000 for the
year 1908, and $395,000 for the year
1909.
The committee passed up the contln.
gent fund of $10,000, the deficiency fund
of $10,000 and the contingent fund of
$1,200 for the court of appeals, and
recommended the following appropria
tions: State asylum for the blind. $18.-
000; the school for the deaf and dumb.
$87,500; North Georgia Agricultural
College, $21,500; the Soldiers’ Home.
