Judges at two, four and six years.
Good Attsndancs.
Tuesday Is ordinarily a buay day at
the house and generally draws a bet-
ter attendance than any other day of
the week. Thla probably accounted for
the fact that there were few empty
seats on the floor when Speaker Hla
ton called the houee to order at 1
o'clock.
Following the reading of the Jour-
nnl, Mr. Hall, of Dlbb, asked that the
house take up the court of appeals bill
for the purpose of concurlrng In the
senate amendment, making the terms
of the Judges two, four and six years,
and that thsy shall draw lots for terms.
Mr. Felder, of ltlbb, moved to amend
the senate amendment by providing
that the eerretary of state should ran
vase the returns of the election.
The amendment as amended was
pc seed snd the bill was returned to
the senate.
Mr. Akin, of Bartow, registered the
only vote against the amendment.

that tho bill "do pass," though Mr.
Hall, of Bibb, offered a minority re

Hall’s Minority Rsport.
Mr. Halt disagreed with the commit
tee on the ground that It would be un-
ulse and was unnecessary. He said
there was another bill before the new

county of Phil Cook, and the house
should await the commtltee‘1 action
on the latter bill.
Mr. Graham, of Telfair, asked Mr.

DEFENSE
"Yes," replied Mr. Hall, "and It Just
shown what confusion you are In when
you get to adding no muny amendments
to one section of the constitution."
Mr. Felder opposed the consolidation
of the two senate bills, which, he said,
Mould mean the defeat of both new
counties.
After a short debate on the bill, all
of which woe favorable to the bill, the
previous question was ordered on the
motion of Mr. Kelley, of Otaarock.
Mr. Hall, of lllbb, In offering the
minority report, waa allowed 20 min
utes. H« used this time In n speech
against the Mil. The burden of hts ar
gument waa that the general assembly
Mould l>e flooded with bills next year
If this bill wae passed. He said he
mss opposed to putting these amend
ments to a clause In the constitution.
Mr. Felder, of Bibb, asked Mr. Hall
If he had not suggested to the editor
of the Fltxgerald Enterprise that the
new county be created by a constitu
tional amendment.
Hall Gats Wrathy.
"I did suggest," retorted Mr. Hall,
n Ith considerable spirit. “I merely said
H would Jbe done that way, but I had
no Idea It would be thrown at me, with
a view to making me appear Incon
sistent.",
while Mr. Hall was speaking Mr.
nandera, of Johnson, Interrupted on a
point of order: *
••The gentleman's time has expired.”
The Speaker—"The gentleman ta
mistaken.”
Mr. Hall—“1 would like Inform the
gemleman from Johnson that the
»r- key and not he Is the presiding
e:tlcer of this house.”
Matthews for Bill.
Following Mr. Hall, Mr. Matthews,
of Houston, spoke In favor of the blit.
He used live minutes, as designated
bv Mr. Wilcox, of Irwin, the leader of
the friends of the measure.
Mr. Wright, of Richmond, apoke for
the bill, as did Mr. Felder, of Bibb.
Mr. Mitchell, of Thomas, advanced a
few points In favor of the passage of
•the bill.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, closed the ar
gument for the MU In a beautiful trib

Bill Pastes.
The rote on the bill was 147 ayea to

tlT votos necessary for the passage for
a constitutional amendment.
Mr. Wilcox, of Irwin, thanked the
i' use from the bottom of hts heart for
the passage of the bill.
A Joke en Mr. Felder.
A resolution offering Mr. Felder, of
Bibb, d seat on the floor of the houae

Mr. Felder, who waa Bitting In the gal

New York, July ,1.—Harry K.
Thaw's strongest bulwark of defense
for ths .murder of Sanford White, It
was learned today from n person who
Is closely In touch with the situation
from the prlsoner'a standpoint, will be
the oath-supported story of Evelyn
Nesbll Thaw that White tried to get
her to quit her husband a short time
before he was killed.
"Stanford White tried to make me
forget my duty :c< n wife, and 1 told
my husband," will io the vital point of
Mrs. Thaw's, testimony. Thus one of
the main allegations at tho time of the
killing Is revised.
White, according In her, began his
plsadlngs a short time after her mar
riage In Pittsburg.
Defense Is Adoptsd.
This line of defense waa settled upon
early today by Thaw and hla wife aa
a positive means of saving him from
the electric chair, a long term of Im
prisonment or ronflnement In nn asy
lum for the criminal Insans. The be
lief Is that tho rejection of this plan
by the lawyers led to the split between
Thaw and Black, Olcott, Gruber
Bonynge.
It Is reported *t the Tombs that dur
ing n most sensational Interview be
tween Mrs. William Thaw and her son,
Harry Thaw loudly berated Ills mother
and she left the prison In tears, law
yer Clifford W. HartrUlgc and Evelyn
Nesbll Thaw were with the prisoner
when his mother and sister arrived.
Hartrldge Immediately hurried away.
Thaw Balks at Insanity.
It «H said there wae n lively dls.
cus.vlon at the door of the cell, and
that young Mrs. Thaw sided with her
husband. Thaw positively refused to
have anything to do with Olcott on
(he Insanity plea, and, It la said, abused
his mother.

In spite of the public snub of Eve

Afternoon Session.
There was a fair attendance when
[the house met at , o'clock Monday
afternoon. The consideration of the
bill by Mr. McMIchael, of Marion, to
amend the local school tax act, waa re
sumed.
This bill, which was passed by sub
stitute. corrected the fault In ths tax
act of last year, aa pointed out by the
supreme court. The original act, while
providing that all property tn the
school districts should be taxed, pre
scribed that It should be assented from
returns made to the counties, when, as
a matter of fact, railroads, telephone
and telegraph companies, make their
returns to the comptroller general. The
substitute Mil requires that the county
tax collector shall get a certified copy
of returns from the comptroller gen
eral.
The subetttute Mil passed by n vote
of 107 to ,.
The resolution accepting the Mari
etta Confederate cemetery was passed
unanimously.
A resolution of Mr. Flynt, of Spald
ing. to acrept and assent to the ac
ceptance by Jbe state for the use of
experiment station at Grlflln, ,.1,000
appropriated by the government fot
each state having such stations, wns
adopted.
The house adjourned at 5 o'rli
to mast at 0 o'clock Tuesday raornti
only ths governor's slgnaturs Is now
lacking to make the court of appeals
bill the law, and It Is probable that ho
tvllt sign It Tuesday afternoon or Wed
nesday morning.
Without discussion the senate Tues
day morning concurred In the house
amendment, which simply provides
that the secretary of state shall certify
to tho election returns, and sent It back
to the house.
The final step In the bill to create
Ben Hill county out of Irwin and Wil
cox was taken Tuesday morning, nnd
tho Issue now goes before the people.
The senate Tuesday morning accepted
the houae substitute, which does not
differ so materially from Senator Wil
cox's original meaaure.
Discuss W. 4. A. Least.
The senate gave Itself over to ora
tory Tuesday morning, practically the
entire session being given to discus
sion of Senator McHenry’s Western
and Atlantic lease bill.
Finding that the members were still
of a mind to give vocal approval or ob
jection to the measure, at 1 o'clock
the measure went over until Wednes
day morning at 10 o'clock.
After a number of amendments had
been submitted, most of them having
to do with the term of the proposed
lease, President W. 8. West took the
floor and In a splendid manner advo
cated the passage of the bill tn lease
the road ror I* years at the expiration
of the present lease, thirteen years
hence.
Senator Hand also advocated the
bill, but spoke mainly for hla amend
ment tn limit the lease to ,0 years In
stead of 00. Senator Miller In a force
ful speech outlined his reasons for op
posing tho measure.
He said that at the expiration of the
present lease, with the natural growth
of the state, the lease might be made
for ,ln«.ooo or a sum even greater than
that amount. Senator Candler took
the floor at 12:45, but the motion wns
then made to table the Mil until Wed
nesday, when It will be taken up Im
mediately after the reading of the Jour
nal.

If anybody asks you about Repre
sentative J. R. Singletary, now repre
senting Thomas county In ths leglsla-
ture. It will be safe to assert that he
Is quite a smooth young gentleman.
few days ago a bill passed the
house with the unostentatloue head
ing:
By Mr. Singletary, of Thomas—To
establish the city court of Cairo, In
Grady county."
Monday It passed the senate by
about 27 votes to nothing. Innocent
enough on Its face, but burled down
In the bill are some provisions that
show Mr. Singletary's, astuteness.
Only Men Eligible.
He Is the only man who can now be
come Judge of that court when It I*
created! Sounds funny, but It Is a
good solid fact nevertheless.
Happens this way: Mr. Singletary
lire# In that part of Thomas sacrificed
for the creation of Grady county. The
bill to establish the city court of Cairo
la all proper and right, but It le the
eligibility clause affecting the new
Judge that shows Just how clever Is
Mr. Singletary.
The bill provides that the Judge must
bo about twenty-seven years of age,
must have reelded In Grady county or
that part of Thomas going Into Grady,
for not less than two years, and that
the candidate must have practiced law
live years.
That tits only two men down there.
One of them Is Representative J. R.
Singletary. The only other man com
ing under the provisions Is R. R. Ter
rell, of Whlgham, and Mr. Terrell has
been nominated to represent. Grady in
the next house!
Cairo People Wanted It
If that Isn't political generalship,
kindly point out an Instance. And
the people of Cairo wanted It Just that
way, too!
Monday morning telegrams came to
Senator B. S. Bonnot's desk In a ver
itable flood. They came from Cairo
and the tenor of all read:
Pass the Singletary bill for city
court of Cairo Just as It passed the
house." ,
Among those who so wired were:
\V. B. Rodenbery, W. L. Lucas, Henry
Heath, J. C. Mathews, W. C. Barrow,
Walter Davis, W. C. Matthews. Richter
t Rushln, R. Y. Hurst, Ira D. Lewis,

Frank Miller, 8. W. Welch, T. J.
Springfield, D. W. Chaion. E. A. Wil
liams, R. G. Lewie, L. A. Free. It
might or might not have been the line
Italian hand of Mr. Singletary.
Of course It only assures Mr. Sin
gletary of the Judgeship for the first
term of four years, aa the eligibility
clause may be applicable to others by
that time.
But the
certainly nailed down
