It all "went up In smoke,” and the Mil was taMed, upon the motion of Mr. Fleder, of Bibb. The bill was by Mr. Porter, of Floyd, and Mr. Corn, of Towns. Mr. Porter explained ail law' now forbids anyone from selling or furnishing to uny minor any ciga rette or rlgarett* papers or tobacco, but lie had observed that It did not prevent young boy* from smoking ci garette* on tha streets. This bill sought to ivrocur* Information as to the source from which they ware furnished.

Shortly afterwards, the lAd waa sent to the hoapttal In an ambulance. Father Told Straight Tala. Tha tathtr la said to have been In a drunken condition at the time, but told such a straightforward story, the police never suspected he had mads th* boy drunk.

"Poverty," and what waa meant by the word, was th# keynote around which the battle of word* raged. Mr. Whitley contended that the poverty contemplated In the constitution was, In a sense, equivalent to that contained In his measure. The purpose of the bill was to pre vent the payment of pensions to those who were worth 11.200 or more In prop erty. thus giving more money to the eeally Impoverished soldier* of th* Two big automobiles, taken from th* Atlanta Automobile Company by negro chauffeurs, without permission of the owner*, and each containing a party of nagro men and women, were chased and caught by the police In autoe Fri day morning between midnight and 2 o’clock.
