an old-fashioned, initiative and refer
endum "pop" and lie thought this bill,
if passed at all. surely should carry the
referendum clause, but that he was po
posed to it. anyway Mr. Wilson said
he thought more people were being
ruined by certain classes of soft drinks
than by any othei beverages.
Mr York, of Clark, followed Mr Wil
son in a vehement and earnest speech
in favor of the bill. Ho said that Geor
gia has no real prohibition under the
present law, and that the Tippins bill
would give the state a large measure
of ft,
' it is time to separate the sheep from
the goats in this matter." said Mr.
York. 'lt is time for decent people to
come out in the open and take sides
boldly and with sword In hand for the
defense of opinions Let the governor
veto, if he will, and if he dares. We
prohibitionists must do our duty."
Opposes Bill on
"Common Sense" Grounds.
Mr. White, of Screven, said he hard
ly knew how his constituents stand on
this matter, but that as for himself he
proposed to view it in the light of such
common sense as he was possessed of,
and that he. therefore, opposed the bill
as something impractical and incapa
ble of rational enforcement.
"We had. under our old local option
law, only nineteen 'wet' counties in
Georgia as against 119 'dry' counties.
We had more prohibition then than we
ever have had since." declared Mr.
this feature removed as with It
White. "All fanatical and ill-advised
efforts to better conditions have merely
made things worse. Under so-called
state-wide prohibition drunkenness has
Increased. Why not be temperate in
legislation as well as in the use of
liquors?" ,
Mr. Ault, of Polk, followed Mr.
White. He addressed himself to his
amendment removing the proposed pro
hibitive restrictions from physicians'
prescriptions and genuine medicine not
manufactured for the purpose of evad
ing the prohibition law. He thought
the bill would be -as strong with this
feature removed as with it included.
Anderson in Closing
Speech Opposing Measure.
At 11:30 o'clock Mr. Anderson of
<'hatham. took the floot to make the
concluding argument agpinst the bill.
Mr. Anderson began by saying that
hr was originally In hearty sympathy
with the Georgia Anti-Saloon league,
and only parted company with it when
it plunged into politics and endeavored
to legislate impossible things into hu
man beings.
“If the Anti-Saloon league had been
content to proceed along lines of com
mon seme," said Mr, Anderson. "I
would be with them, for I believe in
temperance, and practice it. I would
be with them now. If I could believe
them right.
"They are appealing to out preju
dices and passions, even to your Imag
inary cowardice now They are ask
ing that you do nn unrighteous thing,
upon a plea that it might hurt you
back home.
"The gentleman from DeKalb deliv
ered yesterday one of the most dema
gogic and unfair arguments I ever
heard delivered on this floor, and 1
have heard him deliver quite a few of j
that kind
"His address carried two vicious and
outrageous attacks one upon the gov
ernor of the state, the other upon the
courts. He was either ignorant or
woefully willing to misquote the law
1 esteem him too highly to think him
a falsifier, so I am forced to the con
elusion that he is ignorant
Calls Attack on
(governor Unfair.
"It was an unfair attack on the gov
ernor to say that he is not doing all
that he can to enforce all laws The
constitution does not Impose up<m the
governor the duty to pick out specific
and particular laws for his favorite and
partial attention."
A sharp interchange of words be
tween Mr. Alexandet and Mr. Vnderson
took place over the question of the gov
ernor's duty to enforce any and all laws
Mr Alexander attempted to force Mr
Anderson to say that it was not the
duty of the governor to enforce all law s,
whereupon Mr. Anderson read the con
stitutional I'mitations pui upon the
governor an i invited Mr. A'., xandet to
sit down and hold his peace until the
time of his concluding argument in fa
vor of the bill
Mr. Alexandet sat down hastily upon
Mr. Anderson's Invitation, and the
house applauded.
"The gentleman from DeKalb not
only attacked the governor im vicious
ly and unfairly attacked Hie courts He
says we are living in Georgia under a
state of anarchy. J say that is not
so. and lu knows it is not so. But if
we are living in such a state partially,
it is the fault of such demagogues as
the gentleman from DeKalb" contin
ued Mr. Anderson
"Crazy Laws Will
Not Enforce Temperance. '
“You can not prottiote temperance
enacting craz.\ Ihws that the people,
in an intelligent majority, do not want
and will not back up. The 'local op
tion idea, properly safeguaided and » x
ploiled. is the only system uudr-r uhb'h
Anti-Liquor Men
Fail in Senate
i
While the lower house engaged in a'
death struggle today over the Tippins
lull, the state senate look a little flyer
of its <>wn at prohibition legislation when |
Senator Felker's state revenue liquor tax
bills, reported favorably by the temper
ance committee, came up for passage
'After a furious debate before which the
oratory of the lower house must have
i paled, the bills were recommitted.
The big cities of the state came In for |
j severe criticism from the senate prohl-I
I bftionists for the lack of regard for ex-
I isting prohibition legislation Senator
! Bush, accredited as being the senate's
prohibition leader, and senator Felker,
author of the revenue measure, flayed the]
cities mercilessly. Senator Bush, who j
wanted the bill which Is a revenue meas-
I ure deriving from a stamp tax on beet ,
wines and liquors Io go to the state rath
er than the county treasury ft was in
itis argument urging recommitment to ef
fect this change that the big cities were,
accused of being the liquor drinking com
munities of Georgia.
"It is the large cities of the state that
won't let us have real prohibition in
Georgia. and I don’t propose to let them
profit alone from the revenues coming
from these measures. These bills will
bring the state $4,00Q.000 annually. It
will pay all the expenses of the state."
Savannah and Liquor.
Senator Dickerson, under the impres
sion that he who pays the freight should
profit, said:
"Don't you think the cities that con
sume the liquor should have the advan
tage of this tax?”
The fight then turned on an amendment
reducing the tax per gallon on liquor
Somebody asked Senator Felker, author
of the bill. If he didn't believe that a low
tax would encourage the drinking of liq
uor especially in cities.
"If you mean Savannah." yelled the
senator from the Twenty-seventh dis
trict, "I don't think any law could make
Savannah consume more liquor than Is
i being consumed there now."
The hill was finally recommitted after
Senator Roberts bad called attention to
the fact that the constitution of the state
stipulated that a revenue measure should
originate in the house, although Senator
Felker Insisted that his bill was not a
revenue, but a prohibition measure.
To Confirm Brown Men.
The senate went Into executive session
to consider appointments sent in by Gov
ernor Brown, but took no action. The
nominations, four In number, will be con
firmed without opposition tomorrow
They are:
Judge Henry S. West, Judge of the city
court of Athens.
S. ('. I'pson. solicitor city court of
Athens.
Judge James M. Dupree, of Montezuma,
trustee of the Georgia Normal and Indus
trial school at Milledgeville.
Dr E. A. Tichenor. of Milledgeville,
trustee of the Georgia Normal and In
dustrial school.
Judge West is at present Judge of the
city court of Athens, and has successfully
held Ute position by a supreme court de
cision over 'l'. S. Shackleford. Hoke
Smith’s nominee for the Job. S. C. I'pson
was one of the Hoke Smith ad interim
appointments. Both Dupree and Tich
enor were reappointed as trustees of the
Georgia Normal.
t teal measure of prohibition has been
achieved tn Georgia.
"The present prohibition law is as !
strong as language can make it. Why ;
burden it down with this proposed
amendment, which can only say what
the law already says, and which is spe
cific enough for any reasonable man?
If we amend it at ali. why not amend
it to give rational relief where that is
needed?"
Mr. Anderson got a good laugh from
the house In this part of his speech,
when, discussing "locker clubs," he de
clared "My town. I am glad to say,
has no locker clubs. We have not. I
am glad to say. learned the meaning
of ‘locker club' in Savannah!"
Continuing, the Chatham statesman
sh id:
“Prohibition Law Not.
Holier Than Others."
"The advocates of this prohibition
law seem to think it is something holier
and more worthy of attention than oth
er laws. I deny that It is any more
binding than other laws, and that it is j
holier. There is no power under the I
| law to force juries to make verdicts to !
suit fanatics. Nothing but public opin- i
ion. common sense, decency and Justice I
can influence the juries of Georgia, j
Cranks needn't get mad with the gov-
■ ernor because Juries will not return
verdicts to sup their cranky notions.
Tlte juties of Georgia are made up of
the plain, common, honest, upright peo
ple of Georgia, and their verdicts are
characterized by wisdom. Justice and
moderation. I respect them more than
I respect the babbling and the tnouth
ings of cheap politicians and dema
gogues.
"Let's put ,common sense to work in
• litis legislature." concluded Mr. Ander
son. "end effective some constructive
I legislation "
The final argument in favor of the
bill was commenced by Mr. Fullbright,
i of Burke, at 12:30 o'clock.
Fullbright Begins

In short, crisp sentences, the gen
tleman from Burke summed up the ar
guments in favor of the bill.

Recorder Nash Broyles in the convic
tion of Dan Shaw tor violation of the
Atlanta blind tiger ordinance.
The court held that Shew, who had
received receipts from his agent, Cog
gins, for shipments of liquor from Chat
tanooga. had given sufficient evidence
of having liquor on hand for unlawful
sale to be guilty of a violation of the
< ity> ordinance.
In a second case, in which the re
corder fined Shaw on evidence that the
prisoner, while on his way to police
headquarters, had dropped a bundle of
bills of lading from the patrol wagon
and a policeman had received a con
signment of liquor from the railload
company, the court held that no Judg
ment could be found against Shaw.

of Kansas, this afternoon was elected

Association. The election was by ris
ing vote and followed a fight on the
part of Mis;s Grace Strachan, of New

ruling of the nominating committee,
which chose Fairchild over her. 41 to 7.
A motion to substitute the name of
Miss Strachan for that of Fairchild was
offered. It was voted down after Miss
Strachan herself took the platform in
her own behalf

or in secret caucuses. I have not been
given fair play, I am here to get it.

of this city and some of its people if
I had remained away. The Chicago

organization ought to be called the Chi

of the name it bears."
Tlie statement was tlte signal for
cheers and hisses and for a time the
convention was in an uproar. The vote
was called for, however, and the mo

MILEAGE SCRIPT
GALLED I FARCE
Methods of Railroads Attacked
at Final Hearing Before the.
Railway Commission,
"I kept a leeord for seven weeks n
traveling about Georgia and found th o
an average of four minutes, even afte
reaching the ticket window, was los; m
swapping mileage for tickets." saki ■
J. Hollingsworth today, in testifying
before the railroad commission.
"The penny script issued by them.-,
roads Is a farce, a joke." said R 1
Broyles. "We pay S2O for a book '
2,500 'pennies.' but the railroads won
accept them at face value
non-competitive points. They pui: om
twenty per cent more than the amour'
would be in cash."
These were two of the striking
charges made in the hearing todaj ’
the petition presented by three organL
zations of traveling men, asking that
the roads be required to permit mile
age to be taken up on trains instead of
forcing passengers to exchange mile
age for tickets at the windows. Th.
hearing was adjourned at 1 o'clock ani
resumed at 3. The case will be taken
under advisement by the commission
and a ruling made later.
The small audience room at the cap
itol was so jammed with lawyers, of
ficials of the various railroads and
representatives of the United Commer
cial Travelers. Travelers Protective as
sociation and Georgia Travelers asso
ciation that late-comers were forced to
stand in the hall outside. A dozen of
the most prominent railroad counsel in
the state were there to defend their
roads, and officers of the traveling
salesmen, plain members and onlookers
came in numbers.
Mayaon Fight* Battle Alone.
James L. Mayson, attorney for the
travelers, Was pitted alone against the
combined forces of the transportatlor
systems operating in Georgia, al] ol
which are defendants to the petition.
The travelers protested that the tea
object of the interchangeable mileag*
is defeated, as they must go to th
■stations 30 minutes before train time
'in order to exchange their mileage At
the country stations, where the agent
must look after freight, express, bag
gage, telegraphy and train signals, a--
well as sell tickets, the travelers are
often forced to board the trains with
out having been waited on by the
harassed agent, and then the conduc
tors refuse to accept mileage and re
quire a cash fare, at an advanced rate
The commissioners showed especial
interest in Mr. Hollingsworth's state
ments that he bad kept a detailed rec
ord of loss of time in the country sta
tions, and he agreed to put his notes
in the form of an affidavit and submit
it as an exhibit in the case. • He said,
in answer to a question from Cum
missioner Gray, that separate ticket
windows for handling mileage wou:d
'save from 50 to 75 per cent of the de
lay.
The alternative of providing sep
arate ticket windows, should it be
forced on the railroads, would ental’
