The senate was In a turmoil.. Mem
bers moved about the chamber and
converged with felloW-senators, while
visitors held a reception In the rear of
the dividing railing. The Candler
substitute to the Hall bill was up for
consideration.
President West rapped for order, but
n had little effect. Finally he became
a bit nettled, and said with considera
ble emphasis:
"Benatont we are voting on an Im
pnrtant bill, and It does seem that the
members could pay a little more alien

It had lta effect for a couple of min

man:
"The clerk will please'.call the roll
to see If a quorum la present.”
And It proceeded until the name of
Senator Candler was reached. He
looked up from the business engaging
him, and presuming It was some one
of the many amendments offered to
load down his substitute, replied:
-No.”
He looked puxsled at the shout of
laughter that followed, and leaned over
to ask some one what It was all about.
Finding out. he arose and said:
"Mr. President, I voted under a mis
apprehension, and, therefore, beg to
change my vote, I vote, present.”
Senator Mills broke his long silence
Tuesday. After the lntroduptlon of the
resolution condemning the editorials

honesty and Integrity of those who
voted for It. Senator Mills roso and
said:
"Senators, I will break my long si

want to say that when I read those
editorials reflecting on the honesty and
fairness of this body It made my blood
boll, and I want, to say that such meth
ods haven’t, my approval.”
And his dehilt Into the Held of debate
won geherous applause.
Senator Herbert Williams believes In
allowing the senate know his views on
measures and-men, and never lets a
good opportunity pass to make some
enlightening remarks.
Senator George H. Carswell, of the
Twenty-first, Is the youngest member
of the senate, but he has made a splen
did record In that body. When an
Important bill comes up he seeks all
the Information possible on It, then
votes for what he believes Is right And
he usually votes right too, as an ex
amination of the record will prove.
Senator.W. C. Bunn Is the most de
liberate speaker In the upper house, but
he is a forceful one, nevertheless.
Senator D. P. Bose, of the Fourth
district, whose territory embraces
Glynn, Camden and Carlton, raises lots
of rice at his Owen’s ferry farm on the
Satllla river, In Camden county.
During the early part of the de
bate Tuesday on the Candler substi
tute and the Hall measure, Hon. Jos
Hill Hall occupied a front seat While
he was In the chamber the disorder
wss st Its .height, though the member
from Bibb was as quiet as could be.
While President West was beating a
tattoo trying to bring order out of the
chaos. Senator Bennet sneaked across
the aisle and suggested that maybe
Mr. Hall's presence had something to
do with It. Whereupon the Bibb man
shambled out of the room. In a few
minutes the senate was observing Its
accustomed decorum.

CITY OF GREATER NEW YORK
HAS LARGEST LAND AREA
Frirat© Leased Wire.
Washington. Aug. 8.—The census bu
reau today published an Interesting
collection of statistics regarding the
final condition of the larger cities of
the countries together with compari
sons as to area and population. The
Inquiry made In 1904 comprised all
municipalities having more than SO,-
000 population, or 151 In number.
It was found that New York had
the largest land area, 209,118 acres.
New Orleans stood second, with 125,-
600 acres; Chicago third with 114.922;
Philadelphia fourth with 11,929, and
Duluth fifth, with 40,228. The dtjr
having tl •• .-ir.illus* land an:i a,is H<>-
boken, with 828 acres. It is remarked
that tl\pre Is often great disproportion
between the area covered by a city and
the number of Inhabitants. Duluth,
' with 62,000 Inhabitants, takes In more
territory* than St. Louis, with Its 624,-
000. Salt Luke City, with a popula
tion 6,000 lens than Hoboken, Included
an area thirty-live times ns great.
The total corporate expenditures of
the 161 cities for the fiscal year 1904
were 2624.440,216, of which those of
New York constituted 2187,060,171 or
three-tenths. The report states that
although New York has only twice the
popmttta of Chicago, Its current eg
penso* were nearly four times as great.
During the fiscal year 1904 the total
receipts of the 161 cities were 2694,<
176.999.
The aggregate debt of 161 cities at
the do-,, of the year was 81,811,482,616.
The largest per capita net debt was re
ported by Newton. Mass, $126.68. The
second largest, by New York, $112.26,
and the third by Boston. 2101.17.
The tax levy' per capita was largest
for Boston, being 220.16.

(act that they were slow to get In
the fight and thus let the Hokeltes,
under the leadership of the strenuous
Dr. McIntosh, take the Held boots, bag
gage and all, before an effort was made
:o counteract the Smith boom.
But notwithstanding all this, there
one real hope that nobody but
Smith men feel assured will not fall
them when the crucial tlnn-
that there Is one oasts In the political
desert In which the antl-Hokelics ex
pect to water their caravans and rest
heir tired feet when the vote Is count
ed on the 31d.
The very strong reason Is not based
on any visible weakening of the Smith
forces, but It Is bom of the old adage
that history repeats Itself.
There lives In this city a prophet by
the name of Atkinson. How long he
bae been prophesying passeth the re
collection of the oldest Inhabitant.
There Is a tradition told of him that
before tht Ochlocknee river' washed Its
crooked way and drifted Its snow
white sand through Thomas county,
this prophet said this river would never
wash Its ugly gully through Thomas
county. But this prophet's specialty Is
politics. "Uncle Lum,” as he Is fa
miliarly called, has a copyright upon
political future tellings. He has
prophesied the reeults years and
months In advance, and the way they
havs come to pass Is what Is doing
the Howsllltee and Eatlllltea so much
good at present.
"Uncle Lum” Is an ardent Hokette,
and ever since the race began he has
been prophesying that Hoke would
sweep the deck clean. Morning, noon
and evening he prophesies that Hoke
will carry' 140 counties In Georgia and
all In the adjoining states. As-stated
In the outset, this propheay Is a foun
datlon for the belief of the antl-lloke
men that by some way now unseen
their bright hopes will be blasted and
Instead of saving the stats, he can
only look with longing eyes toward
the mansion and gently chant: "That
Is the place I long have sought, and
mourned, because I have It not."
The well-informed Howell and Estlll
men need not trace "Uncle Lum's'
prophesy back very far to logs him In
the mist and shadows of the past. The
voters of this generation remember how
he foretold McKinley's Waterloo and
Bryan's victory In 1886, also how he
repeated It .In 1100. Then they remem
ber how he discussed and abused
Parker, yst prophesied his success.
The boys who do not like Hoke take
encouragement from "Uncle Iaim’s"
propheay along this line, for they re.
member how he made the air quiver
when the election for city schools was
up, and how he said It would never
peas, but It did; and then they re
member how he opposed city bonds for
nothing. He rarely has -s corporal's
guard with him when the count takes
place. They also remember how he
prophesied the defeat of the prohibi
tion cause In this county In 1888, and
yet It carried, with over 800 votes to
spare. Notwithstanding this setback,
his prophetic vision was still undimmed
four years later, when he again
prophesied the defeat of the prohibi
tionists. That "Uncla Lum's" political
