Long Story.
Boaom friend* for 25 years, play
mates, confidant*, sharia* their Joys
and sorrows, and helping sach other In
sscurlng political preferment at the
hands of their people, W. J. Handers,
representative from Johnson county, a
dentist and former Methodist minister,
and Judge A. F. Daley, formerly of
the state superior court, and now pres
ident of the Wrlghtsvllle and Tennllle
railroad, are today bitter enemies.
The sensational Incident In the house
Monday, when Mr. Flanders asked Oar-
nett Qutlllan to leave the chamber,
was one of tha many startling happen
ings that have grown out of the feud
between Judge Daley and the gentle
man from Johnson, who first disagreed
ten years ago, when, ifr. Flanders
claims, he won a suit In court, with
Judge Daley as the opposing council.
. According to Mr. Flanders, a Jove af
fair between Miss Pauline Daley, Judge
Daley's daughter, and an Atlanta man,
Kd L. Humphries, years ago, was really
the first cause of the trouble, which
hnd been only suggested by the trial
mentioned.
Mr. Flanders gave to The Georgian
a complete history of the trouble be
tween himself and the Daley faction,
i" cording to which Judge Daley's
•laughter was receiving attention from
.Mr. Humphries, when It became noised
through Wrlghtsvllle, a small city, that

Mr. Flanders wa. at thla time poet-

requested by Judge Daley to let hltn
know If hie daughter attempted to
write to Mr. Humphries. He etatee
that a private box wax rented In the

judge wae Informed of the fart, though
Mr. Flanders claims he asked that the
\.-un[r lady not be told that he hnd In
formed her father of her secret cor
respondence.
A few days later Miss Daley met
the postmaster on the street, and so he

tongue-lashing. Her mother became

Senator Crawford Wheatley's bill to
provide Georgia with a lieutenant-gov
ernor passed the senate Tuesday morn
ing by a rote of 32 to i. after a fruit
less tight, led by Senator B. 8. Miller.
Senator Wheatley's measure le In
the form of five separate bills—three
of them providing for cun.litutlSnal
amendments.
Immediately after passage In the
senate Ihe bills were transmitted to the
house. Senator Whegtley feels assured
that the house will give practically
unanimous approval.
After passage In the house, the ques
tion will be submitted to the people for
ratification at the October election.
Senator Wheatley's bill creates the
office of lieutenant-governor, who will
be president of the senate during the
sessions. The eaiary Is fixed at 3400
per annum.
The lleulenaut-governor Is required
to reside In Atlanta only during Ihe
sessions. He will. In the event of the
death, absence or Inability of the gov- 1
ernor, perform the functions of that
office. Election It to be as for other
officials.
Senator Wheatley was warmly con
gratulated on hla victory.

Inter, In a quarterly conference, Rev.
A. F. Morgan, who was the pastor of
the Wrlghtsvllle church, refused to
pass the charcter of Mr. Flanders, the
icnson assigned, according to Mr.
Flanders, being that the latter had ex
pressed the opinion that he was glad
every time the sun went down, as It
meant one day less that he had to
spend with him (Morgan) as a pastor.

Ring behind In thla matter. Senator
Wheatley was given close attention
during Ills speech.
Miller Opposes It.
Senator B. S. Miller opposed the bill.
He said his objection was based on the
Idea that no man ought to preside over
the senate who Is not elected by that
body.
He said that if Ihe bill passed, the
lieutenant-governor would begin build
ing up a machine to place himself In
the gubernatorial chair.
‘‘Oovsrnors don't die In Georgia," he
thundered.
"Has Senator Milter forgotten the
days of Alexander Stephens ?"
"My memory does not run as far
back as the distinguished senator's."
When Senator Miller declared that
he objected to a man not elected by
the senate presiding over that pody,
and stand In line for the gubernatorial
succession, Senator Wheatley arose
and with some heat demanded:
Tried to Trap Millar.
"la not the gentleman now actively
supporting for governor the man who

But all presidents of the senate are
not candidates for governor," was the
retort.
"1 Insist on the senator answering
my question," said Senator Wheatley.

As that is _ _

Senators Bunn, Candler, Bond and
A. O. Blalock all spoke In favor of the
bill.
Senator Miller again arose to press
his point, and stated that the constitu

to serve In the event of the death of
the governor.

"But It doesn't any Ihe secretary of

Miller.
