Boaom fricndi for IS year*. play- nutn, confldaala. sharing ihelr Joya and sorrow*, and helping each other In curing polltlral preferment at the hnnda of their people, W. J. Flanders, r-presentatlvo from Johnson county, a dentist and farmer Methodist minister, and Judge A. F. Daley, formerly of tli atate superior court, and now pres ident of the Wrlghtsvllle and Tennllle i llroed, are today bitter enemies. The sensational Incident In the house Monday, when Mr. Flanders asked Oar- n.tt Qullllan to leave the chamber, was one of the many startling happen ings that have grown out of the feud l" tween Judge Daley and the gentle men from Johnson, who first disagreed ten years ago, when, Mr. Flanders nalme, he won a suit la court, with Judge Daley as the opposing council. According to Mr. Flanders, a love af fair between Miss Pauline Daley, Judge Daley's daughter, and an Atlanta man, i:iU Humphries, years ago, was really first cause of the trouble, which had 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, according to which Judge Daley’s •laughter was receiving attention from Mr. Humphries, when Tt became noised through Wrlghtsvllle, a small city, that the Atlanta lover was already a bene dict. On his next visit to Wrlghtsvllle Humphries was question by the Judge, who, whatever the reply, forbade any further attentions Mr. Flanders was at this time post master of Wrlghtsvllle and aaya he was requested by Judge Daley to let him It now If his daughter attempted to write to Mr. Humphries. He states Hint a private box was rented In the poatofllce by Miss Daley, and that the .tuilge was Informed of the fart, though Mr. Flanders claims he asked tlint the young lady not be told that he had In formed her father of her secret cor respondence. A fear days later Miss Daley met tlm postmaster on the street, and so he mid Tuesday morning, gave him n tongue-lashing. Her mother became clltaant, and.Mr Flanders relates that at tha letters did not stop going to the Atlanta lover, Judge Daley, on learning of It, supposed that hie friend had gone hack on him, and he, too, became oool In his manner toward Mr. Flanders. From this followed many Incidents hy reason of which the hatred of these man grew In Intensity, until two years later. In a quarterly conference, Rev. A F. Morgan, who was the pastor of the Wrlghtsvllle church, refused to pass the charder of Mr. Flanders, Aha reason assigned, according to Mr. Flanders, being that the latter had ex pressed the opinion that he was glad every time the sun went down, aa It meant one day less that he had to spend with him (Morgnn) ns a pastor. Judge Daley was chairman of tha hoard of stewards of the church at ths tPif . uu.l III" pre- Ming •■; let no. !'..■> .1. M. Lovett, who was accused by Mr. 1 "Imiilets Jlmitlsy lnni plug Ilf being Im plicated In the attempt to Injure his reputation. W. F. Qullllan was the secretory of tha conference. It le claimed by Mr. Flanders that seorst se.none were held by these men In an attempt to get him out of the church, and that tha records of the conference w ere forged, for later, when the matter was taken to the annual conference, ha elalms there was another record of the meeting, while W. F. Qullllan admitted Hint the correct one was at hla home. As n result of this fight In the church, Mr. Flanders aaya ha and Judge Daley w ere not on speaking terms. They had an agreement that they were to take different sides of the street In go ing to their offices, and Judge Daley w as not to pass the house of the repre sentatives. Both, Mr. Flanders says, want armed ~ Sen. Wheatley’s Im portant Bill Adopted 32 to 5*. Senator Crawford Wheatley's bill to provide Georgia with a lieutenant-gov ernor passed the senate Tuesday morn ing by a vote of 22 to I, after a fruit less light, lad by Senator B. S. Millar.

After passage In the houaa, the ques tion will be submitted to the people tor ratification at the October election. Senator Wheatley's bill creates the offlee of lieutenant-governor, who will be president of the sene to during the sees Ions. The salary Ja fixed al II DO per annum.

IBectkm Is to be aa for other official*. Senator Wheatley was warmly con gratulated on his victory. Whfellsy Spsskt. When Senator Wheatley's lleuten ant-governor Mil came up as tha ape dal'order the able young elatesman from the Thirteenth made a very strong argument for Its passage. ' He iMilnted out the large number of elates that have provided for lieuten ant-governors, and how Georgia la lag ging behind In thla matter. Senator Wheatley was given dose attention during his speech. Miller Opposes It. Senator B. 8. Miller opposed the bill. He said hie objection was baaed on the Idea that no man ought to preside over tha senate who la not elected by that body. He said that If the bill passed, the lieutenant-governor would begin build ing up a machine to place himself In the gubernatorial chair. "Governors don't die In Georgia," ha thundered. ■■Has Senator Miller forgotten the days of Alexander Stephens?" "My memory, does not run aa far bark aa the distinguished senator's."

Senators Bunn, Candler, Bond and A. o.

Miller for the Jobf "Will the senator read that section?” requested Senator Reid. "I can't find It," said Senator Miller, arnld l&uxhtcr. In a colloquy between Senator Mil ler and Senator Candltr, the latter showed that the secretary of atate could not serve. "But It doesn't eay the secretary of elate ehall not serve," Instated Senator Miller. "Nor does It eay a Justice of the peace ehall hot," replied Senator Caw dlor. In prefacing hla advocacy of the hill Senator Hand said: "When I studied the provisions of this bill end found It good,- I began looking about for the proper person for the piece, and the gallant figure of the handsome senator from the Twenty' fourth (Senator Miller) came to mind.'
