THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
w.
GREAT V0T[ HUNT
OF PENSION BILL
MEN ABE BLOWN
House Just Did Give the
Necessary 117
Votes.
The most interesting incident to the
meeting of the house Monday morning
was the scramble by the friends of the
Qalloway 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
capitol 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 hail In-the nick of
time and registered hts "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'
submltted 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 SI, 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. McMIchaet, of
Marlon; Mr. Alexander, of DeKalb;
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, and Mr. Wright, 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
1600 In the salary of the insurance
clerk In the comptroller general’s of
fice.
"If you do that,” said Mr. Mc-
Mlchnel, of Marlon, "you will cut off
the chief clerk, who will not remain
there for SI,200 a year."
Mr. Hall contended that a clerk’s
salary should not figure In the consti
tution of the state,
Mr. Revltl, of Meriwether, asked If
It was not true that the comptroller
(taeral was paid more than any other
te house officer.
Bill Was Lost.
On the vote the bill was lost, receiv
ing only 109 votes, while 20 were reg
istered against It, 117 votes being re-'
qulred for the passage.
The house passed a bill by Mr.
Brooks, of Decatur, to amend the code
so that It shall read that the writs of
certiorari shall be granted 30 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
certain 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 25
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 1876 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 would be funds enough to car-
out the constitutional amendment

There was a great scramble for votes
when the roll call was taken. 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 McClatehey,
while the halls and ante rooms were
searched for representatives, who had
not voted. One vote was secured In

DR. G, B, STBICKIER
IN ATLANTA PULPIT
At the Central Presbyterian church
on Sunday morning Dr. G. B. Strlckler,
an ex-poator of the church, delivered
an able and eloquent nernion on the
■ubject of the divine Inspiration of the
Bible.
Dr. Strlckler Is an able preacher and
deep theologian, but In hla sermon he
made no attempt to go Into the tech
nical details, but treated It from the
viewpoint of the average layman, who
not able to make a life study of the
subject.
Dr. Strlckler called the attention of
hla congregation to the fact that first
of all the Bible supplies that deep-
rooted need in the nature of menklnd
for a divine object to worship, or rath-
or for some God higher than mag him
self. The God taught of In the Bible
differs essentially from tha gods of the
ancients In that He presents the at
tributes of a perfect being, whereas tha
gods to whom the Greeks and Ko-
mans bowed down were simply magni
fied men, having the good and bad
qualltlea of men magnified as the de-
serlber of tha attributes cared to do.
He called attention to the fact also
that the Bible rontalna the moat per
fect code of laws that has ever been
devised. Mortal man has never auc-
wlll In any degree equal Its perfection.
The way the story of tha Ilfs of Jesus
Christ la told, related aa It was by sim
ple uneducated fishermen and laborers,
shows that Jltere must have been a
divine spark to gulc. 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 If
so It would have been characterised by
Imperfections," said Dr. Strlckler.

Greenville, 8. C„ July 3#.—Rev. J. I*
Vaae, a Baptist minister of this city,
after filling an appointment at a coun
try church yesterday, went to the home
of a friend to spend the night and died

The Georgian has received the fol
lowing letter from Louis J. Anderson
A Co., brokers, of this city:
To tha Editor of The Georgian:
We notice In.your Saturday's Issue
you atate that The Trade index of
New Orleans states that we are a
bucket shop.
This statement as it stands does ua
an Injustice. We do not know who
The Trade Index la, nor why they
should have made a statement of that
kind, but aa It la an unqualified false*
hood, we will be glad U you will do up
the Justice to publish our reply.

The Georgian’! statement was mere
ly a quotation of The Trade Index, of
New Orleans, the official organ of the
New Orleans board of trade, the official
organ of the New Orleans Wholesale
Grocers' Association and ona of the
leading cotton Journals of the country.
The Trade Index rarrlea earh week
a column, headed "bucket shop list,"
giving the names of brokerage houses
throughout the Mouth which are al
leged to have no connection with the
New Orleans or New York cotton ex
changes.
Among that list appears tha name of
Louis J. Anderson * Co., of Atlantn.
The heading over the list la aa fol
lows:
"This list contains the names of
firms, corporations ami Individuals en
caged In the bustn.as of operating
bucket ahope. These concerns have no
connection with either the New Orleans
or New York cotton exchanges. New
