Combine of ‘Drys' With Anti-Re
visionists Broken When House
Votes to Reconsider Bills.
The combination formed by “dry"
members of the House and the mem
bers who oppose all tax revision to
defeat bills favored by Speaker W H
Burwell and Governor Slaton was
broken, for the present at least, 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 on the motions to recon
sider, which were offered by Full-
bright, of Burke, were 86 to 67 ami
Si* to 58, respectively.
The action of the House is re
garded as a victory for Speaker Bur-
well, and indicates that some of his
bills, which are administration meas
ures, may be passed In spite of th
opposition tax reform foes and “dry”
members said to be moved by a de
sire for revenge because of failure
to get the 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
of the bill is solely in the hunds of
the Rules Committee, and while its
numbers would not convict them
selves. one member stated positively
that the House would lie 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,
when he declared the Kidd resolu
tion. calling the Hixon-Searcy Hi 11
out of committee, out of order, and
indications are he has succeeded.
The fight against Fullbright's mo
tion to reconsider was feeble, though
its voting strength was fuirly large.
Wallace Miller, of Bibb County, led
the opposition to the motion. He de
clared tile fixing of 2 1-2 mills as the
limit of levy for school 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. Fullbright 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
fight against Speaker Burwell at the
opening of the Friday morning Hes
ton. His effort tailed, became
Speaker Burwell refused to recognize
Mr. Kidd. When the report of the
Rules Committee was submitted to
th«. House, the Speaker asked the
usual question: “Is there objection
to tl\e adoption of the report?"
“I object,” shouted Mr. Kidd, in a
tone that could have been heard a
block.
“The Chair 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 of
committee.

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
past years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but our present
duty 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 couterfeits, 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.

The Voegeli Bros., of Minneapolis, Minn., say: "We wish to say that we

Polk Miller Drug Co., of Richmond, Va„ says: "Your Castoria Is one of
the most satisfactory preparations we have ever handled. It seems to

P. A. Capdau. of New Orleans, La., says: "We handle every good home
remedy demanded by the public and while our shelves are thoroughly

M. C. Dow, of Cincinnati, Ohio, says: "When people in increasing num

the fad or experimental stage and becomes a household necessity, then
It can be said its worth has been firmly established. We can and do
gladly offer this kind of commendation to Fletcher’s Castoria.”
