I met him at his hotel. <>ne of the first
things I told him was how unfortunate
It wa« that a man lik* him gambled
as much as he did
I pointed out how impossible It was
for him to win. that he v ;*s the softest
kind of a mark; that half the tim* he
didn’t know whether he w»»n or lost
Lee agreed with me and went on to
tell me the most pathetic story 1 ever
lish netl to of the ruin ami misery
gambling had brought to him.
He had owned theaters in the cities
lof Sydney Jind Al* Ihourne, Austraiia.
he said. He us 'me of the ti: d Aiihi

He left Australia in debt and disgraced.

SEARCHINGSIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B NEVIN.
However people max differ with re
spect to the statesmanlike qualifica
tions of the present legislature, folks in
Atlanta will bid it good-bye today,
unanimous tn their opinion that.it is
composed, in the main, of a lot of
mighty good fellows
It may not run extraordinarily to
high blows, and it may not have done
all those things It ought to have done
not to mention the things it max have
done that it ought not to have done—
but from the purely personal |"int of
view, the present genera! assembly is
likable and all right!
I'p one side and doxx-n the other, tiie
present house and senate measure up
to acceptable fiSi'm. There are a few
Mi s Namies . n the roils, ami here and
tl\ere a pretty cheap' -ort of politician,
but in the average the acts of the legis
lature that adjourns sine die today
have b.en based upon patriotism and a
marked conception of duty and state
p- ide
It Is customary to "knock” the legls
ittlture—all legislatures. They have
been, from time immemorial, the butt
of everybody's ridicule and the easy
mark of the most inconsequential critic.
And yet the legislature—the present
legislature, no less than any—is truly
representative of the people of the
state. Becomes directly from them,
and Is elected, as a rule, without undue
or sinister influence from any quartet.
The gentleman from Wayback may
not meet the ideas or touch the ideals
of the gentleman from Bigtown, but
there are quite as many people who
live in Way back. by and large, as there
are who live in Bigiown—and. in the
righteous and just view of things, "a
man's a man for a' that!"
Moreover, the man who thinks that
the cities of lhe nation have any coi
ner un the brains thereof has another
think coming -which would h" a Hat
and stale platitude were it not. never
theless. an everlasting and eternal
truth!
In its final analysis, the legislature
generally does the things the people
commission it to do.
Mr. t'onvetse. of Lowndes, is one of
the strong men of the present house,
and it will be rated generally pleasant
news that he likely win be a member
of the next senate.
Mr. Converse's hobby is education
and educationn! affairs. He is a par
ticularly intelligent ntan. and a close
student. He has made the maUei of
education a study, and has dedicated
the best there is in him to the work of
advancing that cause.
The Georgia No; mal and Indust’l il
school in Valdosta has no better or
mote uncompromising friend than Con
verse. He participated generously in
lhe establishment of the school—for lie
is a man of considerable means—and
it is his p. t of ail state institutions to-
day He loxes to come to the legisla
tine, if for no other reason than to see
that the normal school gits all that is
coming its way.
He is very regular in his attendance
upon the sessions of the house, fre
quently participates briefly In debate,
and pursues a safe and sane course In
voting.
Kull and complete credit is due the
president of th*? senate. John M. Sla
ton. who is the senator from the At
lanta district, for the quick passage
thiough the senate of the Atlanta (’ha -
ter amendments bill.
The bill reached the senate very late
in the session, after a more or less
storhi.x career in the house, and there
was some question whether there re
mained time sufficient to pass it along
to the governoi for his signature.
Mr. Slaton, in his capacity of senator
from the Fifth district, got right in be
hind the bill, had it reported promptly
from the committee on corporations,
passed to a second reading in the house
Monday, and got it up for a third read
ing and passage Tuesday—and then
bad it transmitted immediately to the
House, where the senate amendments
immediately weie concurred in!
The bill now awaits the governor's
signature. which will be attached
promptly.
Without Mt Slaton's cordial, prompt
and efficient co-operation the Atlanta
chai ter amendments unquestionably
xvould have failed of passage. *
Speaker John X. Holder knows how
to play the game as neatly as any one.
Hi- congressional adversaix. Thomas
M. 8011, of the Ninth wired Mr. Holrle*'
Tuesday invititig him to a joint debate
in Jackson county. Mr. Holder's home,
and in Hall county Mr. Bell's home.
Mi. Holder wrote back that he would
have to decline to fall for that so-1 of
thing. He said that he had made m*
speeches in Hall county, the home of
Mr. Bell, and would make none—that
he thought courtesy demanded that he
keep away from Bell's home base. H.-
added, moreover, that he didn't care to
debate in Jackson county, his home, as
he already had things his way there,
and a joint debate would not be at all
illuminating or helpful to tinybody. as
he saw things.
Mr. Holier, however, furnisher! M
Beil a full list of the Holder speaking
appointments at points outside of Hall
and Jackson, and invited both Mr. p. ;i
and M . ('barters to "joint debate" wilh
hint at any or all of them, if either
w ished.
Mr. Bell has not replied to Mr. Hoi
dor's letter, so far.
