At 9:10 o’clock the general Judiciary committee met to consider Senator Lumsden's bill, which was Introduced at the last session. Many Georgia solicitors were present They were Interested very vitally. But there was no bill to consider. Somebody said It was referred to a eub-commlttee last session, snd they were called on to produce. An Indig nant disclaimer came from the sub committee. who solemnly averred that It was referred back to the committee of the whole. Not guilty, said the committee of the whole! So that was the situation. The bill had mysteriously vanished! And now Senator Lumsden Is In a quandary.

J. M. HIGH CO. Mil PENALTY Felder’s Bill Occupied the House Till Adjournment at 1 O’clock. "SPECIAL ORDERS" WILL_B£ TABOOED House Objects to Attempt to Set Boykin Bill for Thursday. 'The way to prevent .lynching In Georgia," Impasslonately declared Rep. resenlatlve Felder, of Bibb, on the floor of the hous* Tuesday morning, ”1* to throw the proper protection around the home.' Mr. Fsldsr was discussing the bill In troduced by. himself to make burglary of a residence In the night time punish able by death. The author explained the features of his bill at length, and read to the house letters from Govern or B. B. Glenn, of North .Carolina, and the attorney general of the same state, telling of the effective operation of * similar law In that commonwealth Flash of Wit. A little levity was Injected Into the discussion by Dr. Whitley, of Doug las, who made some allusion to die franchising the negro. In a similar vein. Mr. Felder rejoined that he want ed to do' worse than disfranchise them —he w*nted to htng 'em—meaning the burglars, of course. Mr. Flanders, of Johnson, was op posed to the measure because the Good look would not justify the death pern- ally for that offense. “We can’t sp paid from God Almighty's legislation,' i declared. Mr: Hale Inquired If he hadn’t un dertaken a big Job trying to Instruct the member* of th* hoese In the Oood Book. Mr. Flanders thought he had Mr. Handers’ merriment enlivened th* sombre nature of the discussion im mensel: ensely. Mr. Davis, of Burke, argued that th# death penalty under thla bill could be enforced very often for petty thefts, such as, for Instance a sneak thief stealing a dollar umbrella. Following Mr. Felder's logic, a man Who puts a pistol In his pocket ought to be hung for murder. No White Flag Re Several members of the house are fully determined that there shall be no more "special orders" for measures and again frustrated Tuesday what they thought was either an effort to makw such an ordsr for the Boykin bucket- shop bill, or be the effect of such In any event. Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, stated that he had been sick for three or four days, too unwell to remain In his seat, and repaired to ths hall because he raw that the bucket-shop bill would come up. He asked the author to let the'bill go over till Thursday. Instantly Hr. Knight, of Berrien, and several others.
