Resolution to Report the Hixon-
Searcy Liquor Bill Defeated.
Tax Plot Charged.
The filibuster In the House against
the resolution of Kidd, of Baker,
which instructed the Temperance
Committee to report back the Hixon-
Searcy bill for action, and by which
Wohlwender, of Muscogee, consumed
the entire time of the House Tues
day, came to an end Wednesday
morning at 10 o’clock with victory
resting with the forces against the
bill.
In response to a point of order
raised by Stewart, of Coffee, Speaker
Burwell ruled that Kidd’s resolution
was not in order for consideration
■'/Wednesday, and the efforts of the
temperance forces to force a hearing
on the bill were therefore in vain.
The point raised by Mr. Stewart
was that, inasmuch as the resolution
was introduced Tuesday and specifl-
i cally called upon-the Temperance
' Committee to report the bill back
“to-morrow,” it was asking the com
mittee to perform a physical Impos
sibility, and was therefore not in or
der.
Wright Objects to Decision.
Wright, of Floyd, who is generally
credited with being behind- Mr. Kidd
in the introduction of the resolution,
protested vigorously against the de-
sion of the Speaker.
“Doesn't the Speaker intend to hear
those who favor this resolution?” he
demanded.
“You are out of order," the Speaker
replied. "The resolution has been
ruled out of order, and is not now un
der discussion.”
Representative Wohlwender, back
ed by Myrick and Shuptrine, of Chat
ham; Nunnally, of Floyd, and others
of the anti-dry forces, appeared when
the House convened to-day determin
ed to continue the filibuster until Mr.
Kidd consented to withdraw his res
olution. This Mr. Kidd and the tem
perance cohorts absolutely refused to
do. ^
Stewart Then Finds Loophole.
Conferences between the prohis and
the antis were numerous, but barren
of result, and it looked as though
the filibuster would continue, with the
anti-dry people holding the whip
hand indefinitely, when Mr. Stewart
found the loophole through which the
resolution was riddled.
The effect of the resolution and the
filibuster has been to draw the line
sharply between the anti-dry and the
.temperance forces, and to smother
'the more important question of tax
revision. The victory of the antis
precludes the possibility of the Searcy
bill getting a hearing at this session,
inasmuch as the Rules Committee
takes charge and no resolutions sim
ilar to the Kidd resolution can be
Introduced.
Claims Anti-Tax- Plot.
Mr. Wohlwender, whose strong
lungs and determination defeated the
resolution, voiced the opinion Wed
nesday morning that the resolution
was an outgrowth of the tax revision
fight!
"Sheppard, of Sumter; Stovall, of
Elbert, and the others who are fight
ing tax revision were behind the res
olution,” declared Mr. Wohlwender.
“They hoped to get that bill brought
out because they knew if the House
once got busy on it no tax measures
could be passed at this session.”
THE PLAY
THIS WEEK
Contestant Relates Story of How
She Climbed, and Now She
Knows Advertising Pays.
“I know I can secure want ads by
the hundred, for I know what a want
ad will do,” said one young woman
contestant when she entered The
Georgian’s want ad competition and
started out to win an automobile or
a trip to California. ‘Tve had ex
perience ”
"I’ll tell you,” replied the young
woman. "It lifted me from a $5 a
week job to one at $12 and afterward
to $15. I’m resting now for the sum
mer and putting in my spare time on
the contest.
"I was just beginning stenography
when I found my first position. I
started in at $5 a week, and though
I kept improving in my work the
boss just wouldn’t give me a raise.
He said he could get plenty of girls
at that price. I had almost given up.
"One afternoon when he was away
I was reading The Georgian and my
eye happened to meet the ‘Help
Wanted, Female,’ column. I had nev
er taken interest in want ads before.
But right under my nose was a little
ad—'Wanted—a good stenographer.
Salary $12.’
"I put on my hat, shut up my desk
and went after that job, and got it.
That’s w r hat a want ad did for me.
And I can tell others what want ads
will do, for I have confidence, and
that goes a long way.”
The contestants are rolling up votes
right along, and those who are think
ing of entering and winning first
prize had better hurry. There is yet
time to enter and get a start, but it
will not pay to delay entering.

Crushers Donate Fourth of the
Amount Needed — Committees
etG Promises of Support.
With $1,200, one-fourth of the amount
needed, contributed by the Cotton Seed
Crushers of Georgia, plans for a per
manent exhibit of cotton products which
it is proposed to establish in the new
Champer of Commerce building have
received an impetus that bids fair to
carry the project through. Other lines

in proportion to their importance, and
it is thought the entire amount will be
raised within a few weeks.
The gift of the Crushers was made

“Those dances put an unaccus
tomed strain on the toes and instep
and since they started women have
been flocking to chiropodists in droves
to have (heir feet made over. I hope
the craze lasts, but I would never
dance any of those dances myself. I
think too much of my feet.”

Atlanta Rotary Club Fills Mem
bers of Alabama Organization
With Good Cheer.
The Birmingham Rotary Club, 32
strong, entrained at midnight Tues
day for the Alabama village, chuck
full of the good cheer provided for
them by the Atlanta Rotary Club,
and Joyful over the day spent in the
Gate City.
Purely social was the ylsit of the
Birminghamers, though the spirit
of enthusiasm displayed augurs well
for the growth of both clubs. Reach
ing Atlanta at 12:40, they were met
by a delegation of fifteen members, of
the local club and escorted to Hotel
Ansley, where they were entertained
at lunchon. The afternoon was spent
in sightseeing, th e places of business
of many of the members of the At
lanta Rotary Club coming in for an
inspection.
At 7 o’clock the party went to the
Capital City Club, where several
hours were spent in good fellowship.
The festivities broke up shortly be
fore midnight, to enable the visitors
to catch the train.
The modesty of Atlanta’s business
men was illustrated in the opening
address of President Hubert Ander
son. He described the speaker he
was to introduce in flowery terms.
He made of him the perfect man and
the originator of all things great in
Atlanta, and said: “Gentlemen, it is
my honor to introduce to you—”
Instantly every member of the At
lanta Rotary Club was on his feet
bowing and speaking. The laughter
which followed is undoubtedly being
heard on Twentieth street in Bir
mingham to-day.

Senate Committee Frames Rec
ommendations After Inspecting
Milledgeville Institution.
Following a visit to the State Prison
Farm at Milledgeville Saturday the
Senate Penitentiary Committee of
which Senator Tarver, of the Forty-
third, is chairman, will make several
recommendations for improvement to
the Senate.
One of these will be a recommen
dation for the construction of an an
nex to the present dormitory for ne
groes. Another provides for a water
works system in the women's build
ing.
There is a possibility also that the
question of the present location of
the prison farm will be considered
with a view to removal, although this
movement is not indorsed by a ma
jority of the committee.
A further recommendation which
probably will be made relates to the
separation of the boys* reformatory
from the prison farm.
Senator Tarver declared Tuesday
that in his opinion this feature of
the prison farm was bad, as the
younger boys, although separated
from the convicts, are sufficiently
close to be influenced by the depress
ing influences of convict life.
Nine members of the Senate com
mittee and one member from the
House made the trip to Milledg?-
ville.
