What The Gsorglan Said. The tenor of The Georgian’s repprt was that the light for the Perry amend ment, If victorious, would have Imper iled the Bell bill when It reached the senate as the Perry ; amendment would make the measure unacceptable to the upper house and would therefore prob ably accomplish Its defeat.

The Georgian made no statement or Insinuation on Its own authority that the friends of the Perry amendment were seeking to kill or hurt the Bell bill F. E. PURSE, 14 to 18 EAST MITCHELL ST.
