Member after member took a tilt at

aptness of his reply or the quick
of his repartee.
Following a long discussion as
whether the senate first adopt the sub
stltute or the report of the committee,
the president ruling for the former,
Senator Wheatley opened the discus

"I favor allowing the brokerage
houses'to stay In Georgia," he said, "if
we can-catch the speculating members
of the Cotton Association with them,
If they are In New York why we can’t
place our hands on such fellows"
He forced an admission from Senator
WlUInms that he had speculated
bucketshops. Later Senator Williams
asked:
“Isn’t It true that the senator
himself cannot explain the difference
between a bucketshop and an ex
change?’
When the laughter had subsided,
Senator Wheatley came back:
"No, not to the senator. The Lord Is
responsible for his Inability to compre
hend, and not V
Afterwards he apologized for the
personal remarks, and the two shook
Senator Bunn spoke strongly and

Mob Threatens Jailtr.
The cause of the military force of a
hundred men being sent here, was the
arrest of the leader of the mob, who Is
a former convict, a notorious retailor
and distiller. He was recognized Mon
day night by Solicitor Hammer, while
attempting to batter down the Jail door
and encouraging the mob to greater
violence, when It seemed that It would
disperse. He Is known to have par
ticipated In the hanging of the men.
Rumors that a mob would rescue him
caused Judge Long to take all precau

his determination to proceed all the
