DIRECT ELECTION
AMENDMENT IS
REJECTED
i
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 I
- would be dangerous and unwise for the
legislature either to agree to or dissent
from ft in its present form.
The famous "Bristow < lapse" 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
P 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-thirds" means. In
' this case, at least two-thirds of the
"elected membership” of congress—not
merely two-thirds 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-thirds,
however, if two-thirds lie held to mean
merely two-thirds of a quorum voting.
In congress, two-thirds has been held
to mean generally two-thirds 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 specifically ob
jects, and upon which it advises the
return of the amendment to congress
■without action.

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. C. Anderson. A negro,
living on the 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 here 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 j
. she bestows upon herself during the |
waiting months. Mother’s Friend
prepares the expectant mother’s sys
! tern for the coming event, and Its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all tis
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
i and keeping the breasts in good con
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
i baby, too, is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for nature’s supreme
j function. No better advice could be
given a young expectant mother than
that she use Mother’s Friend; it is a
i medicine that has proven Its value
in thousands of
cases. Mother’s MnTUrn'c
