"If thla man wai only dead thtoo
years and now Insists that he la alive
I Mippoaa he knowa what he'a talking

deml and never has been, but la only
living In Thomas county—" the clerk
read The bill waa carried and Mr.
Mitchell afterward explained his meas
ure.
"N'o, I'm not resurrecting folks ex
actly,'' he said, "though I brought thla
old man back to official life. He moved
Into Thomas county In KOI and the or
dinary of Hchley thought he waa dead.
The old man came to me some time
ago and asked If I couldn't get him hia
r*n«lnn money for three years. He will
get (1(0 from this bill."
SMITH OF GREENE
MAKES A SPEECH
"Smith, of oreene!" called the clerk.
He waa reading the roll on a bill which
had attracted little attention and which
waa evidently going through by an
easy majority. Mr. Bmlth rode pon
derously In hla seat and cleared hla
throat. Then the house recognised Its
opportunity for relaxation and turned
toward the gentleman from Oreene,
"Mr. Speaker," remarked Mr. Smith,
"The nun never rose upon a fairer state
than Oeor—"
Tumultuous applause Interrupted
him. It began near the speaker's desk
and rippled back to the door. The ora
tor pauaed.
—gla." continued Mr. Smith. "Oentle-
men of the house, I am here today—"
The tumult broke out anew at this
stirring climax and desk tops were In
danger of splitting under the nets of
enthusiastic members. Mr. Smith wait
ed patiently and smilingly.
"Forty long years ago," he remarked
—this time It waa a veritable storm of
applause which ascended tb the celling.
Members rushed from corridor and
cloak room to the house, drawn by the
unusual disturbance. Visitors In the
gallery bent over the rail to see the
speaker Who could produce such an ef
fect on the usually Impassive house.'
The president of the Smokers' Club
stuck hla head In the door.
"Oh, It's just. Smith, of Oreene, ex
plaining hla vote," he aald.

chair."

with hla gavel and the new chairman
ascended the stand. It waa Mr. Ar
nold's first appearance as the exar
the house and he waa greeted with
round after round of applause. When
he reached for the gavel and attempt
ed to qulet the house something fn the
humor of the situation appealed to him
and he broke Into a smile. That wai
the signal for more cheering ami laugh
ter which lasted until the chairman iw
gained control or hla features.
"Mr. Chairman!" cried Mr. Hall, of
Bibb, In rising to a question.
"The gentleman from Bibb will _
seated. He Ulka torn much and alwa>
about the same thing," ruled Chair
man Arnold. It waa hla revenge for
the many hammerings his measures
had received at the hands of the great
obstructionist. The gentleman from
Bibb sat down suddenly.
Mr. Felder, of Bibb, tried hla luck by
rising to a point of order, but the chair
overruled him at once. The two col

Arnold rushed the measure through
with dispatch and went back to thr

=GOSSIP OF:
STATESMEN AND POLITICIANS
Senator A. O. Blalock got tangled In
a quotation while speaking for the
Boykin blit Thursday, and after sev
eral Ineffectual efforts to get It straight
received assistance from Senator Ho
gan. who la kindly disposed.
"Why, my friends, the proof of the
pic la eating the pudding," he said with
great emphasis.
Rut It didn’t sound right and he
made anothef stab.
"Proof of the pudding Is In eating It.”
Somehow that didn't ring true. By
now the senate was watching Sena
tor Blalock’a entanglement and some
began to offer wagera that he'd never
get It just right.
“That la I mean the pudding le the
proof of the eating.”
Then uprose the rotund form of Sen
ator' Hogan with the proffer:
“Mnybe the senator means ‘that the
proof of the pudding le the chewing of
the bag.'"
Extricated from hl» entanglement,
Senator Blalock proceeded with great
eloquence to complete hla speech.
However, he didn’t try any more quo
tations.
Evidently* the present senate has no
notion of letting Senator .Wheatley live
down hie escapade on the Audubon
Boclety bill. Somebody drage It In to
the limelight at every opportunity. If
no opportunity happens along one Is
made for the occasion.
Senator Murphy Candler, aa kindly
a hearted man as ever lived, and one
noted for the gentleness of his char-
actsr, succumbed to the temptation and
"took a fall" out of the member from
the Thirteenth. Ha was discussing the
Wheatley substitute to the Boykin bill:
"Why, you know I am yet afraid
that the senator from the Thirteenth
will disclaim paternity In this substi
tute as he did In a certain other meas
ure here on the flodr of the senate.
But that other bill waa a bird of para
dise as compared with thla last meas
ure he has fathered."
Senator Candler quoted from the
Bible several times In hla speech
Thursday on the bucketahop bill. Ev
ery time he did so somebody up and
asked him a question. Finally he re
torted to an Interruption:
"Go ahead. Looke like I'm bringing
all the Biblical scholars of the senate
to the fore, however."
'Senator Candler la responsible for
thla one: "In a certain campaign one
of the candidates asked a friend what
be should make the Issue. After pon
dering awhile the friend replied:
I tell you, Bill, jump on the Chin
ese and give ’em bell. They ain’t a
Chink In the county.'"

JOURNEYMEN PLUMBERS
GO OUT ON STRIKE.
Special to The Urorstea.
Chattanooga. Tenn., Aug. 10.—The
journeymen plumbers of thla city are
out on strike. They claim that the

There are over 100 plumbers In this

Crawf Wheatley has the courage of
hla convictions nnd makes n clean,
straight from the shoulder fight even
when be knowa he le taking the un
popular aide of It. And he can and
always does the square thing, and
looses like the gentleman that he la.
Thursday after tbe senate had given
the kibosh to hts spbetltute to the Boy
kin bill he sent Up an amendment to
the original measure. Senator A. O.
Hlnlnrk objected on the ground that
no previous notice had been given of It.
Immediately Senator Wheatley came
hit feet end said:
"Mr. President, tbe senator from the
Twenty-sixth la correct. The amend
ment proposed by me la clearly nut of
order, nnd I respectfully withdraw It.”
Nothing could have been more grace
fully done and more clearly right. But
h.«- many men would have nad the
co-rare and manhood to do It?
It waa hot work Thursday for those
who elected apeak on t>- bucketahop
bill. Though he le a thl- r. an physi
cally, Senator (andler left tha cham
ber after hla effort with his clothing
wet with perspiration, senator Steed
Is a big fellow, and hast almqat
put him out of business before he hod
concluded. Senator Miller la a big
man, but he stood to the Job with lees
apparent discomfort than any of them.
With only five more days of legisla
tive life to Its credit the senate la still
studiously Ignoring houae general bills.
The house le apparently unconscious of
the peril Impending over some pet
measures, nnd calmly grinds through
two long sessions a day without doing
anything for the senate. Will It result
In some valuable bills "going dead" be
cause of thla cross purpose?
transit It Is good to watch the wonder
ful swiftness and dexterity with which
Secretary Northen and Captain Han
sen count the vote. It Is done with one
comprehensive sweep of eye and out
stretched arm, and In a twinkle comes
the announcement:
“The vote Is 27 to 0."
It Is rarely more or fewer than 27 to
0. Thursday the count waa forgotten
once, but It didn't make any difference.
The vote recorded on the bill was 27
to 0.
"Lawyer" In Rome urges ex-Con-
gressman John W. Maddox for a place
on the court of appeals. No abler man
or Jurist could be picked for the place.
Judge Maddox served several years'aa
Judge of the Rome circuit before the
Beventh district sent him to congress.
Hla record on tho bench was aa fine and
efficient aa any man who ever wore the
ermine In Georgia. If north Georgia
can persuade Judge Maddox to stand
ae its candidate, he can win, for he le
the strongest man In that section,
without queatlon. Long years of up
right and useful public service have

him the complete confidence and esteem
of the people. At preaent he Is may

an administration at hla hands that'

will prove a strong candidate, and If
elected would make an able Judge.
