DIRECT ELECTION
AMENDMENT IS
REJECTED
Georgia Legislature to Send
Measure Back to Congress
as Illegally Passed.
The legislative committee to which
was referred the proposed constitution
al amendment providing for election of
United States senators by the people
sent in a lengthy report to the house
today.
The committee advises the return of
the amendment to congress, with the
objection that It was not legally passed
by that body, and that, therefore. It
would be dangerous and unwise for the
legislature either to agree to or dissent
from it In Its present form.
The famous "Brietow clause” Is not
referred to nor does the committee
address Itself to the merits of the
amendment. It merely sets forth that
Georgia, in the main, is favorable to the
election of senators by the people, but
that Georgia should not, through its
legislature, agree to an amendment Il
legally inaugurated.
The point raised by the committee
against the amendment Is that It was
not passed, as a matter of fact, by two
thirds of the national congress, each
house voting separately. The commit
tee holds that "two-thlrds” means, In
this case, at least two-thirds of the
'elected membership” of congress—not
merely two-thlrds of "a quorum vot
ing.”
Advises No Action Be Taken.
It Is not denied that the amendment
failed of a two-thirds vote in the na
tional house, if two-thirds be held to
mean two-thirds of the elected mem
bership. It did receive two-thlrds,
however, it two-thirds be held to mean
merely two-thlrds of a quorum voting
In congress, two-thirds has been held
to mean generally two-thlrds of a quo
rum voting, and hence the constitution
al amendment was held to have been
legally passed by congress.
It Is to that view, nevertheless, that
the Georgia committee speciflcallj’ ob
jects, and upon which It advises the
return of the amendment to congress
without action.
ALDERMAN WILL ASK
TURNER BE DEPRIVED
OF FREE TELEPHONE
Alderman A. H. Van Dyke said today
that at the meeting of the council Mon
day he would offer a resolution Instructing
the Southern Bell Telephone Company to
take out the free telephone in the resi
dence of City Electrician R. C. Turner.
The company, by contract, furnishes the
city twenty-five free phones, but an or
dinance prohibits them being in the homes
of city officials. Aiderman Van Dyke said
that he had called the attention of coun
«. cil to the free phone in Mr. Turner's
home some time ago and asked for an
investigation of the city electrician’s de
partment. But his resolution was tabled
and the free phone was left there.
It is reported In city hall circles to
day that when Mr. Turner submits Ids
communication to council Monday urging
the abolishmnet of the board of electrical
control a new resolution calling for an
investigation of his office will be pre
sented.

'LIGHTNING DESTROYS
HOUSE ERECTED /MORE
THAN A CENTURY AGO
MADISON, GA.. Aug. 2. —During a
thunderstorm yesterday afternoon a
stroke of lightning ignited and com
pletely burned the historic homestead
on a farm five miles from Madison, now
owned by Mrs. J. Anderson. A negro
living on tile place was struck by a
piece, of the shattered timber and suf
fered slight but not serious injury.
The destroyed house was a relic of
the olden days, having been erected
more than a century ago by the Wal
ker family. It was constructed of huge
original forest timbers and was in a
perfect state of preservation, though
having weathered for so many scores
of years the bleak winter winds and
storms. It had been the scene of many
historic gatherings in the past. The
Walker family, now scattered over the
state, originated her< with the builder
oft his old Southern home.

No young woman, in the joy of
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the physi
cal ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both herself and the coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mother's Friend
prepares the expectant mother’s sys
tem for the coming event, and its uso
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
I and by gradually expanding all tls
. sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
In splendid physical condition. The
■ baby, too, is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for nature’s supreme
function. No better advice could be
given a young expectant mother than
that she use Mother’s Friend; it is a
! medicine that has proven its value
in thousands of
cases. Mother’s
Friend is sold at 3
