Herman Melville, away back tn 1151,
In writing about a vacation, most hap
pily said:
"1 thought I would call about a little
and *ee the watery part of the world. It
I* a way I have of driving off the spleen
and regulating the circulation. When
ever I find myself growing grim about

And myself Involuntarily pausing be-
fore coffin warehouses and bringing up
the rear of every funeral I meet, and
e*pee!al!y whenever my hypos get such
an upper hand of me that It requires a
strong moral principle to prevent me
from deliberately stepping Into the
atreet and methodically knocking neo
pie's hats off—then, I account It high
time to get to aea #* soon as I can."
To be eure Mr. Melville did not have
In mind at that time the magnificent
trip from Savannah to New York and
Boston over one of the Ocean Steam
ship Company'* big boat*. What he
wrote, however, applies equally as well
today as It did more than a half cen
tury ago. There Is no more delightful
trip on earth than a aea trip, during
this season of the year, and especially
so on one of the magnificent ships of
th# ocean Steamship Company.

After Frit* Blemann. alia* Jack Wtl.
son, an Austral Ian, until recently a sailor
on a United States transport, had fin
ished testifying tn police court Tuesday
afternoon, In an effort to aave J. A.
Lynch, an alleged burglar, he found
himself In the tolls.
The Australian wn* promptly taken
Into custody In the court room by De
tectives Campbell and Starnes and la
being held as a suspected pal of Lynch.
He wa# tacorted from the court room
to a cell In the prison department of the
police station, where he spent the night.
He will be arraigned before Recorder
Broylet Wednesday afternoon.
Lynch was bound over In two cases
of burglary and one case of larceny
from the houae. hla bond being fixed at
S3.000. Detectives Campbell and
Btarne*. who worked the case* against
the alleged burglar, have still another
case against him and this will be tried
Wednesday afternoon.
Little baa been learned by the de
tectives concerning either Lynch or
Slemenn. From letter* and papers
found In Lynch's pockets, they believe
he is sailing under an assumed name
and that hi* real name la Lunsford.
When the Australian teamed that his
friend had been Jugged on the charge
of burglary, he promptly got busy and
engaged the law Arm of Arnold A Ar
nold to defend Lynch. He then ap
peared In court himself and gave testi
mony favorable to Lynch. The de
tective* took notice of th# great Interest
he was displaying In the case and eyed
him with suspicion. After he had teatl-
flOd they decided to hold him.
Following his nrrest, the detectives
visited the house at 45 Luckle-sq,
where Lynch and Blqmann have been
rooming, and, on making a search of
the room, discovered a lot of valuable
tool*, tald to have been stolen a abort
time ago.
Lynch Is accuaed of burglarizing two
pressing clubs, one at 7 Petera-st. and
the other at 9 Cone-at, and with steal

Wlten th* house resumed discussion
of the W. A A. extension Wednesday,
Mr. Boyd, of Spalding, offered
amendment to section 1 requiring the
extension to pass thru Griffin.
Mr. Alexander took the floor and re
eumed hts argument lor hi* bill. His
opening remarks dealt minutely with
the question of rate*, and he contend
ed that th* railroads are not dealing
fairly with the people.
"Men of Georgia." he exclaimed. .
call upon you to throw oft this yoke of
the money baron* and assert your In
dependence. Put away thl* Idea that
you must encourage and fosfer great
powers to th# hurt of your state,
' The bill 1 lay before you Is the be
ginning of a way to throw off the
•hackles. Throw off your Inertia and
come to the help of your *tate."
Mr. Alexander spoke of the tremen
dous value of the Chattanooga term!
nal property of the state, and advo
rated Its sale and the purchase of oth
er property for terminal purposes.
"I should like to aak the speaker,
said »fr. Hall, of Bibb. "If hi* pro
virion for a bond Issue should not
have an amendment to strike out the
requirement for retiring 1100,000 per
annum?”
"No.* said Mr. Alexander. "Even-
sensible man know* that a state should
provide for retiring ita bonds.”
There was some sharp colloquy be
tween the two.
"Don't the gentleman know I stood
here and fought that bill?" said Mr.
HqJI In reply to a statement regarding
a certain meaaure.
"Yes. I dare say It la so," retorted
Mr. Alexander, "because the gentleman
from Bibb has a record of lighting very
nearly every bill coming up,” and there
wa* a shout of laughter, which was
quickly suppressed by the rap of Chair,
man Wise's gavel. |
He pleaded for the houae to vote
down the amendments offered bv Mr.
Hell, of Bibb, and Mr. Boyd, of Spald
ing. requiring the extension to pass
thru Griffin and Maeon.
"If these gentleman think thev can
strike down thl* bill by *uch tactics,
this house can vote such down. I have
no preference for a route, but 1 know
when you load the bill down with
auch amendments It means Its defeat.
"I close with an appeal to you as
men. as patriots, as Georgians, as sons
of Revolutionary sires, for the benefit
of our great state to pass this bill."
Mr. Alexander closed at 11:80 o'clock,
having spoken four hours and fifteen
minute* In behalf of hi* measure.
Mr. Boyd 8peakt.
Mr. Boyd, of Spalding, secured the
floor end asked that he be given the
same consideration given Mr. Alexan
der. He denied that hla amendment
was Introduced In any but th* most
earnest spirit.
''Grlffln Is the most Important city
between Atlanta and Macon," he de
clared, "and th# extension, If made,
should pass thru that place.”
He concluded by **y|ng-he believed
It wa* a dangerous piece of legislation
attempted.
Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, followed.
"Tbe gentleman from DeKnlb knows
that to carry out the provisions of his
bill," he said, "mean* revolution and
ruin. Deliver me from socialism. I
have seen It* work, and thl* bill leads
inevitably to just that."
He declared that Mr. Alexander de
voted about thirty minute* to discuss
ing the merit* of the bill, and some
four hour* to the question of govern
mental ownership of railroads.
Mr. Hall's Opposition.
In arguing against a bond Issue, Mr.
Hall practically stated ffbat ha favored
the repudiation of bond Issues made In
on# generation by th# next. He quoted
at length from a speech made by A. R.
Wright, of Rome, In the constitutional
convention of 1877.
Mr. Hall expressed the view that It
would take 150.000 per mile. Including
building equipment and terminals, to
extend the road to the tea. He believed
would cost not lees than 115.000.000.
Mr. Bell, of Fulton, continued to quiz
Mr. HaU until the Bibb county man
became a little impatient.
"1 don't want to open school here,"
he said, amid laughter.
"I should like to ask the gentleman
If two of the leading dally papers In
th# state advocate thl* extension?”
asked Mr. Wooten, of Wilke*.
"What papers?" asked Mr. Hall.
"The Atlanta Conriltutlon and The
Atlanta Journal." replied Mr. Wooten.
"My Lord. man. don't you know that
The Atlanta Constitution and The At
lanta Journal will advocata anything
«n earth that can be In any way to
their own Interest?” retorted Mr. Hall.
"If w# build this road," he said, "we
might aa well go the whole way and
buy all of th# rood*."
"Would you favor this bill If your
amendment 1* adopted ?" asked Mr. Ty.
son. of Emanuel.
"No I would not." said Mr. HaU.
"But t have a right to amend or per
fect It whether 1 favor It or not.”
