I f 12 TIM \TMANTA (JEOiWUAN AM) MKWS. OVER FOES OF Combine of ‘Drys' With Anti-Re visionists Broken When House Votes to Reconsider Bills. Th<* combination formed by “dry’ member* of the House and the mem bers who oppose all tax revision to defeat bills favored by Speaker W II Burwell and Governor Slaton was broken, for the present at Dast, Fri day morning*, when the House voted to reconsider its action Wednesday In defeating the constitutional amend ments limiting the school levy to 2 1-2 mills and the pension levy to 1 1-2 mills. The votes op the motions to recon sider, which were offered by Full- bright, of Burke, were 86 to 67 and to 58, respectively. The action of the House is re garded as a victory for Speaker Bur- well, and indicates that some of his bi'ls, which are administration meas ures, may be passed in spite of th* opposition tax reform foes and “dry” members said to he moved by a de sire for revenge because of failure to get thv Webb bill out of commit tee. Bills To Be Put on Passage. With the action of the House re considered. the two bills—the school levy and the pension levy—undoubt edly will be brought up for passage at this session. It is understood they may be placed on the calendar for Saturday or Monday. The placing >f the bill is solely in the hands of the Rules Committee, and while Us members would not convict them selves, one member stated positively that tin* House would be given an op portunity to pass the bills during the present session. Speaker Burwell has been hard at work trying to heal the wounds caused by his ruling • Wednesday, wh.n he declared the Kidd resolu tion, calling the Hixon- Searcy bill out of committee, out of order, and indications arc he has succeeded. The tight against Fullbright’s mo tion to reconsider was feeble, though its voting strength was fairly large. Wallace Miller, of Bibb County, led the opposition to the motion, lie <le- clared the fixing of 2 1-2 mills us the limit of levy for Hchool purposes would result In appropriating that amount each year, inasmuch as money is always appropriated up to the limit. Mr. Kidd Is Turned Down. Mr. Kullbright made but a short speech In favor of his motion, de claring the opponents of the bills had defeated them by spreading the er roneous impression that they would Increase taxation. Mr. Kidd, of Baker, tried to lead a h^ht against Speaker Burwell at the opening of the Friday morning ses sion. Ills effort iailed, becau«“ Speaker Burwell refused to recognize Mr. Kidd. When the report ol the Rules Committee was submitted to th* House, the Speaker asked the usual question: 'Is there objection to the adoption of the report “I object.” shouted Mr. Kidd, In a tone that could have been heard a block. “The ('hair hears none," announced the Speaker. Had Mr. Kidd been able to defeat the report of the Rules Committee, which fixes the work for the day. it was his evident intention to attemm to again introduce his resolution call ing the Hixon-Searcy bill out . .f committee MIDSUMMER DAY DREAMS 3,1 EXPECTED (IT ITTH Copyright, 1018, International N*** Herrlrr.

READ FOR PROFIT GEORGIAN WANT USE FOR RESULTS ADS THIS is the caution applied to the public announcement of Castoria that has 1 been manufactured under the supervision of Chas. H. Fletcher for over Elaborate Program of Recreation 30 years—the genuine Castoria. We respectfully call the attention of fathers and to Make Warm Springs Picnic mothers when purchasing Castoria to see that the wrapper bears his signature in black. When the wrapper is removed the same signature appears on both sides of the bottle in red. Parents who have used Castoria for their little ones in the § ast years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but our present uty is to call the attention of the younger generation to the great danger of intro ducing into their families spurious medicines. It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the nefarious business of putting up and selling ail sorts of substitutes, or what should more properly be termed conterfeits, for medicinal preparations not only for adults, but worse yet, for children’s medicines. It therefore devolves on the mother to scrutinize closely what she gives her child. Adults can do that for themselves but the child has to rely on the mother’s watchfulness. 1| f fl I ' > 1- * j,<
