THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN MONDAY, JULY Jfi, \Y£ GREAT VOTE HUNT SECURED PASSAGE ‘ OF PENSION BILLi House Just Did Give the Necessary 117 « Votes. IThe most interesting incident to the meeting of the house Monday morning was the*bc ramble by the friends of the Galloway bill to secure two votes to make out the 117 required for the passage of the constitutional amend- ■' ment. Every nook and corner in the capltoi was searched, and it looked hopeless as the members pulled every representative in the hall while the regular vote was being taken. Mr. Owen, of Pike, saved the bill, however, as he walked In the hall' in the nick of | time and registered his "aye" vote amid | great applause. In a typical Monday session, the house disposed of some business of Interest, even though the attendance was not over 120. The bill by Mr. Galloway, of Walton, to amend the con stitution, to provide for the payment of pensions to widows of Confederate veterans who married their soldier husbands prior to 1870 was passed by exactly the constitutional majority of 117. This bill will go Immediately to the senate and If passed by this body by Thursday will be advertised and submitted to the vote of the people at the election this fall. Mr. Williams, of Laurens, introduced a bill Monday morning to Increase the terms of the members of the general assembly from two to four years. Rules Committee’s Report. The committee on rules, Mr. Felder, of Bibb, vice chairman, submitted report recommending that the senate bill to create the new county of Ben Hill from portions of Wilcox and Irwin counties, with Fitzgerald as the county seat, be made a special order for Tues day, July 31, Immediately after the reading of the Journal. The report was adopted. On the consideration of the bill to In crease the clerical force of the comp troller general, Messrs. McMIchael, of Marlon; Mr. Alexander, of DeKalb; Mr. Hall, of Bibb, and Mr. \Vrlght, of Richmond, spoke in behalf of the meas ure. Mr. Hall, of Bibb, offered an amend ment to strike out of the amendment that part providing for an Increase of 3600 In the salary of the Insurance clerk In the comptroller general’s of fice. "It you do that," said Mr. Mc MIchael, of Marlon, "you will cut off the chief clerk, who will not remain there for 31,200 a year.” Mr. Hall contended that a clerk's salary should not figure In the consti tution of the state. Mr. Rcvlll, of Merhvether, asked If It was not true that .the comptroller general was paid more than any other state house officer. Bill tya* Lost On the Vote the bill was lost, receiv ing only 109 votes, while 20 were reg istered against It, 117 votes being re quired for the passage. The house passed a bill by Mr. Brooks, of Decatur; to amend the cdde so that it shall read that the writs of certiorari shall be granted 80 days from the date of the Judgment sought to be reversed and that the same shall be filed within 10 days after the sanc tioning of the writ. The law now per mits 90 days for the granting of such petitions. By unanimous consent the bill by Mr. McMIchael, of Marlon, to correct rertaln errors In the tax act of last year In parts of the latter relative to the collection of taxes from corpora tions by school districts was taken up. The reading of the bill consumed 28 minutes, and before the reading of the substitute was well Started the regular hour of adjournment was reached. In the absence of Speaker Slaton, the house was called to order at 10 o’clock by Speaker Pro Tern. Dunbar. Sympathy to Mr, Alford. A resolution of sympathy to Mr. Al ford, of Worth, whose wife died Satur day, was passed by the house. The special order .of business for Monday was the Galloway bill to amend the constitution to provide for the pay ment of pensions to widows of Confed erate soldiers who married their sol dier husbands prior to 1870. An amend ment by Mr. Whitley, of Douglas, to make the date 1875 was Introduced Friday afternoon. The bill was taken up Immediately after the reading of the Journal. Mr. Nowell, of Walton, the colleague of the author of the bill, spoke for the measure. He was followed by Mr. Longley, of Troup, who urged the mem bers to vote for the Galloway bill. Mr. Hall, of Bibb, asked If It would not be well to Investigate as to wheth er there tftiuld be funds enough to car ry out the constitutional amendment proposed by the Galloway bill. He said he did not think there would be any opposition to the bill, provided there was money In the treasury for the purpose. Mr. Longley said he thought the money was there and that It ought to be left to the people to say whether this amendment should be added to the MEN ARE BLOWN INTO SMALL BITS BT BOILER BLAST Portions of One Body Were Found Nearly a Mile Away.

He urged the unani mous passage of the bill. Amendments Killed. Mr. Kelley, of Glascock, offered an I amendment to make the date on the bill 1880.' This amendment was lost, as [ was that one by Mr. Whitley, of Doug las. Messrs. Smith, of Greene, McMIchael, 1 of Marion, and Green, of Cobb, sup ported the bill In short speeches. Mr. Hall, of Bibb, In explaining his vote, said the state was going to be I seriously embarrassed by appropriat ing vast amounts without first consult- I Ing the treasurer and determining whether the money would be available. | He voted no. Only 3 Against Bill, The result of the vote showed 117 In I favor of the constitutional amendment on the Galloway bill. Mr. Richardson, of Houston; Mr. Overston, of Screven, and Mr. Hall, of Bibb, were the 'only | members voting against the bill. There was a great scramble for votes I when the Coll call was token. It was found that two votes were needed to make the necessary 117 votes required for the passage of a constitutional amendment. The friends of the bill ran Into the halls looking for some one to vote. The vote was called over very slowly by Reading Clerk McClatchey, I while the halls and ante roome were searched for representatives, who had not voted. One vote was secured In a few minutes, but It looked as If the bill would be lost by one vote. An at tempt was made to vote Mr. Russell, of Museagee, by proxy, but Mr. Hall, of Bibb, objected strenuously. The Vote Secured. Just as the friend* of the Galloway I bill had about given up, Mr. Owen, of Pike, walked down the center aisle and asked to be recorded as voting aye. | Great applause was accorded the gen tleman from Pike,i who had saved the | Galloway bill. Mr. Steed, of Carroll, moved that the bill be transmitted to the senate and It was carried. Assistance of Comptroller General.

I DR, G, D, STICKLER IN ATLANTA PULPIT At the Central Presbyterian church on Sunday morning Dr. G. B. Strlckler, an ex-pastor of the church, delivered an' able' and eloquent sermon on the subject of the divine Inspiration of the Bible. , Dr. Strlckler la an able preacher and a deep theologian, but In his sermon he made no attempt to go Into the tech nical details, but treated It from the viewpoint of the average layman, who la not ablt to make a Ilf* study of the | subject. Dr. Strlckler, called the attention of hla congregation to the fact that first of all tha Bible supplies that deep- rooted need In the nature of mankind for a divine object to worship, or rath er for some God higher than man him self. The God taught of In the Bible differs essentially from the gods of the ancient* In that He present* the at tributes of a perfect being, whereas the gods to whom tha Greeks and Ho mans bowed down were simply magni fied men, having the good and bad qualities of men magnified a* the de- scrlber or the attributes cared to do. He called attention to the fact also that the Bible contains the most per fect code of laws that haa ever been devised. Mortal tna,. haa never suc ceeded In accomplishing anything that will In any degree equal It* perfection. The way the story of the lifa of Jesus Christ Is told, related as It was by sim ple dntdurated fishermen and laborers, shows that there must have been a divine spark to guldt them, or other wise they could never have succeeded In turning out such a masterpiece. "The Book as regards Jesus could not have been a fiction, an invention, for ir so It would have been characterised by Imperfections,” said Dr. Strlckler, BAPTIST MINISTER DIES DURING NIGHT Mperlsl to The'Georgia 11.
