To call it "gabby'’ would be. perhaps more or less irreverent, and yet no other word seems so nearly to fit. The house fools away hours and hours of good, valuable time orating, and usually to little or no purpose. If the time consumed thus far in ut terly inconsequential talk had been de voted to the public business, the calen dar undoubtedly would be in finer form and there would be few bills unlikely to come to a hearing, whereas there now are hundreds that never will reach a vote in any circumstances. A particularly clear and lucid expla nation was given the house a day or so ago of a bill proposing a new county. There was practically no opposition to it—at least, it was sure to pass safely. The proposition was outlined definitely —the committee had recommended the creation unanimously. If ever a law’ seemed shaped up nicely for passage, that law did. Nevertheless, the first speaker was followed by another, and another, and another, and still a fourth another—all favorable to the bill, and all covering identically and precisely the same ground 1 There are sure to be a dozen or so "explanations” of votes on every aye and nay roll call. They amount to nothing whatever—they are not made a part of the record, and even the news paper men never bother with taking them down. It is safe to say, however, that from 30 to 60 minutes come out of every day’s business by reason of these "explanations.” Then- are members who “speechify" on anything and everything! The “gabbiness” of the present house is amazing and astonishing! It sure loves to hear itself talk! The disfranchised Georgia negro should consider the recently in vented seedless watermelon. Every negro knows that seed take up a lot of room in a watermelon, any way. that might be utilized to a no bler purpose. Mr Adams of Hall put the laugh on himself neatly during the progress of the debate on the county solicitors bill Tuesday. Mr. Adams was eloquently and kind ly, but firmly. orating in opposition to tile measure, when Mr. Wohlwender of Muscogee asked him if, even though he did oppose the bill, he was not willing that tlte people might pass upon the pro position. The face qf the gentleman from Hall brightened perceptibly, and he turned Old Michigan's wonderful batter Eats TOASTIES, ‘tis said, once a day, For he knows they are healthful and wholesome And furnish him strength for the fray. • His rivals have wondered and marvelled To see him so much on the job, Not knowing his strength and endurance Is due to the corn in TY COBB.

Mr. Speaker, 1 would favor that: and if the referendum clause is attached to this bill, I will vote for it cheerfully!" Then Wohlwender maliciously in quired if the gentleman from Hall was aware that the bill he was discussing was a constitutional amendment, and necessarily had the referendum clause attached already! Then Adams' smile faded away, and he plunged headlong into his argument against the bill, regardless of the em barrassing predicament in which he found himself —but the house was laughing immoderately and the gentle man from Hall jvas visibly disconcerted. And, then, he didn't vote for the bill, after all! Over 1.000 babies have been named for Woodrow Wilson since the Baltimore convention. They can not vote, of course, but their proud papas can. Representative Carl Vinson, of Bald win. has a soil survey bill before the committee on appropriations that is approved widely by the farmers and ag. ricultural interests of the state. The bill carries an appropriation of $25,000, and provides for a complete survey and analysis of the soil of Geor gia. and the proper charting and map ping thereof, to the end that only such fertilizer as will produce a maximum of benefit shall be used in a given lo cality. The Federal government has appro priated $3,000,000 to a national soil sur vey, and Georgia has the right to par ticipate in that fund to the extent of $135,000. Nothing can be utilized by the state, however, until the state shows positive evidence of a desire to co-oper ate with the national department of ag riculture in the matter. The passage of Mr. Vinson's bill would mean that, within a year or two, any person interested might find out precisely what the soil of any- county of Georgia, is best adapted to, its exact composition and fertilizer necessities. It would make intelligent farming much more the rule than now. Rains and floods come, and now and then drouth gets in its work, but the Georgia candidate crop al ways is of the bumper variety. Representatives Nix. Wohlwender and Wimberly discussed somewhat at length Tuesday the cost to the tax payers of speech-making on the floor of the house. Mr. Wimberly used $11.22 worth of time. Mr. Wohlwender used $9.34 worth, and Mr. Nix $3.67 worth during the progress of the discussion. STAGE COACH IS HELD UP; TOURISTS ROBBED IN OLD TIME FASHION WILLIAMS. CAL..

The stage was then allowed to go on. It was hours after the robbery before the first news of it was received here. BANKER SNEED AND WIFE ARE REPORTED RECONCILED FORT WORTH. TEXAS. July 31. John B.
