Memory of Toombs and Hill
Recalled .by, Speakers.
War History.
The Mattingly bond bill, which has
been brought before legislature after
legislature for many years, was defeat
ed again Tuesday morning In the low
er house. The debate on the measure
was long and Impassioned and the
house seemed almost equally divided.
The prnpoaltlon to pay the debt con- J . . V _ _
traded by Oovarftol Brown In 1801 was the North had forced the South to r.
Anally defeated by a close vote. |
“OVER CAPITALIZED,”
"SAYS SAM D. JONES
i - '
Declares A. B. & A. Railroad . Cost About
$12,000,000 and Issues Stock for
$!>4,000,000.
In the course of his speech at the
Hoke Smith rally at the Bijou Theater
Monday night, Sam P. Jones, president
of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce,
referred to the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railway and made the
charge of over-capitalization of nearly
400 per cent. He said:
"My distinguished fellow townsman,
whom I like and admire personally, has
gone to work and has bought up many
little railroads In Georgia and has
welded them Into a system. - These
roaas cost him between $3,000,000 aqd
$4,000,000. Then he has built the lino
from Atlanta to Birmingham. This and
other Improvements, linking the roads
together, has coat him about IS,000,00.
His sytem has cost about $12,000,000.
"Now, he goes to Boston and when
he returns the railroad Is being capi
talized at $64,000,000.
"The people of Georgia will have 1 to
pay In freight >ates a fair rate of In
terest on that total capitalization,,
which Is Just about five time* what It
really should bq.
‘•That’s where the rub comes In deal
ing with freight rates.” , ,<
doubt that the arms were purchased
for the purpose of rebellion and that
the payment of this money was pro
hibited by the constitution.
Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, appealed
to the house not to cast a reflection
upon the names of Toombs and Hill
and Brown, who had after the. wgr
urged the payment of the bonds.
Mr. Felder, of Bibb, argued eloquent
ly against the payment, urging that
to riM-o-Ufy the statutes of the stats, ex
plaining that no new rode;Usd been pre
pared 1n eleven years, amt snrh a code was
needed. The bill provides flir. the appoint*
nient of a eouiinfaslouer .'to serve for two
years at B.000 s year. Mr. Hall, of Itlbb,
opposed the men.lire on the ground that
It wouldg not 1k» the ln-st method of cor-
reeling tho present conditions.

Mrs i
gnl

The discussion of this bill occupied
almost the entire time of. the session.
Several small local bills were consid
ered Just before the closing hour. The
house adjourned to meet again at 3:30
o'clock.
Speaker Slaton called the house to
order at 9 o’clock.
Mattingly Bond Bill,
The Mattingly bond bill was taken
up as the first order of business.
This bill provides for the redemption
of bonds Issued for a debt contracted
by former Governor Brown for rifles
purchased at the beginning of the wgr
between the states and used by Georgia
troops. ■ The sum Involved Is $24,200.
The bonds are now held by the estate
of - Oeorge Mattingly, of Washington,
D. C.
The house was resolved Into a com
mittee of the whole, with Mr. Bteed, of
Carroll, In the chair. The majority re-
port favored the payment of the bonds
and was signed by Chairman Wright,
of Richmond, and Representatives A. J,
McMullln, F. M. Longley. J. T. Hill,
A. A. Lawrence, Joseph H. Hall and
L. W. Branch. Minority reports were
submitted by Mr. Perry, of Hall, and
Mr. Covington, of Colquitt.
Mr. Wright, of Richmond, spoke In
favor of the bill.
Mr. Knight, of Berrien, argued
against It.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, argued for the
blit.
Mr. Perry, of Hall, opposed the bill,
Mr. Persons, of Talbot, favored the
measure. '
Mr. Covington, of- Colquitt, argued
that the debt existed, but held that
the law was plain that no debt In
curred In aid of rebellion should be
paid, and this would prevent the legal
payment of these bonds by the state.
The committee of the whole reported
the bill to the house with the recom
mendation that It do not pass.
lengthy parliamentary skirmishing
followed. The friends of the measure
claimed a twenty-minute period of de
bate under the rule*. Thla was opposed
by the opponents of the bill.
Bill Fought Hard.
The bill was fought -over at every
point. Chairman Wright, of Rich
mond, submitted the favorable com
mittee report and argued earnestly In
favor of paying an honest debt of
the state. The point of Issue between
the speakers turned on whether these
rifles, purchased in 1331 from tbs
Sharps Rifle Company, of Connecticut,
were purchased for the purpose of re
bellion, with a view- to the aeceaslon.
which followed shortly, or merely ’ to
arm the Oeorgla militia agaimjl do
mestic disorder similar to the John
Brown raid, which had taken place
shortly before.
Mr. Covington delivered an address
In opposition to paying the bonds,
which had great effect. He drew a
picture of the period when the bonds
were issued by Governor Brown under
tile advice of Robert Toombs and Ben
jamin Hill. He showed how the South
was arming herself for a great conflict,
that war wai In the air. There was no

Hall Favors Payment.
Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb, favored the
payment of the debt. He read a letter
written by Toombs to the agent of the
Sharps Company stating that the debt
should be paid.
During the roll call nearly every
member took advantage of the oppor
tunity to explain his vote In a thre-
mlnute address, which In some cases
became an Impassioned argument.
Mr. Whitley, of Douglas, opposed the
appropfrallon and dwelt upop. the lob
byists who had worked In Its Interest.
Mr. Wright rose to a point of per
sonal privilege and Mr. .Whitley ex
plained that he meant no reflection on
any member of the house and referred
only to outsiders under the term of
lobbyist.
The bill was adopted by a vote Of
88 to 66.
An Afternoon Sosilon.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, moved that an
afternoon session be held at 3:30
o'clock.
The motion was passed.
Speaker Slaton reminded the mertt-
bers that unless a quorum were pres

quired to-cause the arrest of a sum

Atlanta, the railroad distributing
point of the South, lu deutlned to also
become the electric road center. Before
the expiration of two years. If the plans
now afoot are carried out, ther will be
four Inter-urban electric linen, aside
from those now entering this city, car
rying passengers and freight to Georgia
cities and to cites In the Carollnaa
from this point.
The Atlanta, AJafon and Grlfltn' line
will be grahted Its' franchise at the
next seslson of council; the Atlanta
and Carolina railway has applied for
Its charter and Intends traversing the
route between Conyers, West Point and
Franklin. .
On good authority It was learned
Tuesday there were two other lines
a Iso In contemplation. One of these will
extend from Atlnnln to Augusta and
will later be carried on to Charleston,
8, C. The other will traverse the dis
tance from this city to Columbus, Ga.
The companies nre at present In the
embryo. However, the authority from
which the facts were gathered stated
that within the next fortnight or so ap
plications would be inndo for charters
and that before the winter months set
In It was expected that work would
commence on the grading.
Railroad engineers have made re
connolssance of all these lines and 111#
actual work of running a preliminary
nurvey Is being carried on by several
of the companies.
An Exosllent Thing.
City Attorney Jntines L. M/.’son
staled Tuesdny that the lines would be
nn excellent thing for the city as well
the outlying country,
se lines will do much to solve
the freight rale question," said Attor
ney Mnyson. ‘‘Although I'm Hot author
ity on thls iubject from my observa
tion there are many Industrie* In Geor
gia being greatly Injured annually by
car famines nnd by the high rates ex
isting where there Is no competition.
Attorney Maysnn also spoke of the
passenger traffic and the general con
venience to the people who live uround
Atlanta as well as those In other and
smaller cities.
Another phase of the benefit* to bo
reaped from the electric line* are the
taxes and tariffs which will generally
upbuild the municipalities, counties and
atate. Aelde from the regular taxes,
each township will doubtless levy lu
own tax on the gross receipts of the
company coming from the specific hab
itation. The express and freight car
ried and the amounts realised by the
company from the same will also bring
In money tn swell the till* of the local
governments.
, In th* case of the line between At
lanta and Macon, which, will operate In
this city under the name of the Geor
gia Security Company, a lax of 2 per
cent of the gross receipts from local
sources for the first five years and 6
per cent for the remaining 2( years of
the contract has been named as the
proper amount to charge. • .
The companies will also be made In
keep the streets, or a portion thereof,
on which they run In a state of repair.
Stringent Laws.
The comfort of passengers and the
general appenrnnee of the rolling etock
will be governed not only by the com
panies, but also by the cities through
whlrh the lines pass. As Is the, rase
with the Atlontn-Mncan line, these Ian
wilt be exceedingly stringent.
Tic i'i 11■ .11 of lh* Georgia Security
Company's ehnrter touching upon this
reads as follows:
•All cars, wires, electric construction
and equipment shall be of the most
approved and modern style and eo
maintained during the term of this
grant, and shall likewise he provided
with all necessary and approved safely
devices for the preservation of life and

BECA USE OF CAR FAMINE
The marble and granite Industry of
Georgia I* being Injured to an Irre
parable extent by the car famine which
has lasted all this year. Aa Llthonla,
where there are twelve or more granite
companies, some of them employing
hundreds of men. matter* have reached
deplorable crisis.
Over two hundred and flfty men have
been thrown out of employment and
from lime to time the companies have
found It Impossible to continue work
because of not being able to get granite
to lu destination.
President 8. T. Doby, of the Brant
ley Granite Company, stated, when
called up over the Jong-dletance 'phone
Tuesday, that, he we* afraid to go
Into the market and bid for contracu
because of the lack of. car*.
"During the whole year our work has
been held up because of the car famine
and when we can gat care they are
often not the right sort,’’ stated Presi
dent Doby. "Moat of our granite I* In
the shape to ship on flat cars, but In
many Instance* we have had to use
box cars. We have Just placed an or
der for eight box ears In which to ahlp
broken stone to Virginia bacauu It I*
Impossible to get coal cars. This makes
the expense of loading double.
"The great Injury, however, end of
what we are most afraid Is that en
gineers throughout the country, finding
they cannot get Cur granite for build
ing and curbing as well as other pur
poses, w 111 place orders for other rpate-
rlat and will become nccuftomed to
using Inferior substitutes."
President Doby staled that he had
seen local authorities on the subject
but that they'declared Interstate tral
fle was out of their .Jurisdiction. Hi
also stated that several suits had been
entered against the Georgia rajlroad
because of contracts being canceled,
ne of these Is for 12,000.
From other sources llrgras learned
that tha Georgia Granlta I'ompaDy, one
of tho largest In the state, 'Is dally
turning sway men because cars, can
not be obtained to ahlp granite.
