CAPTAIN STORM HEARING
HAS BEEN POSTPONED.
Bperial to The Georgian.
Jackson. Miss, Aug. 16.—Adjutant
General Fridge has wired Captain J.
Storm, commander of the Brook-
haven company, that the hearing of the
proceedings against him at Oulfport
has been postponed until the ltth of
August.
Captain Storm was Involved In a
clash with the civil authorities at Gulf
port during the recent encampment. '
Senator A. O. Blalock got tangled In
a quotation while speaking for the
Boykin bill Thursday, and after sev
eral Ineffectual efforts to get It straight
received aaslatanee from Senator Ho
gan, who Is kindly disposed.
"Why, my friends, the proof of the
plo Is eating the pudding," ne said with
great emphasis.
Rut It didn't aound right and he
made another stab.
"Proof of the pudding Is In eating It.”
Somehow that didn't ring true. By
now the senate was watching Sena
tor Blalock's entanglement and some
began to utter wagers that he'd never
get It Just right.
"That Is I mean the pudding Is the
proof of the eating." *
Then uprose the rotund form of Sen
ator Hogan with the protTer:
“Maybe the senator mean* 'that the
proof of the pudding te the chewing of
the bag.’"
Extricated from hla entanglement.
Senator Blalock proceeded with great
eloquence to complete hie speech.
However, he didn't try any more quo
tations.
Evidently the present senate has no
notion of letting Senator Wheatley live
down hla escapade on the Audubon
Society bill. Somebody drags 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' a* ever lived, and one
noted for the gentleness of his char'
acter, succumbed to the temptation and
“took a fall” out of the member from
the Thirteenth. He wua discussing the
Whentley substitute to the Boykin bill;
"Why, you know I am yet afraid
that tho senator from the Thirteenth
will disclaim paternity In this substi
tute as he did In a certain other meas
ure here on the floor of the ■ senate.
But that other bill was a bird of para
dise as compared with this last meas
ure he hee fathered."
Senator Candler quoted frony the
Bible several times In his speech
Thursday on the hucketshop bill. Ev
ery time he did so somebody up and
asked hint a question. Finally he re
torted to an Interruption:
"Go ahend. Looks like I'm bringing
all the Biblical scholars of the senate
to the fore, however."
Senator Candler Is responsible for
this one: "In a certain campaign one
of the candidates asked a friend what
he should make the Issue. After pon
dering awhile the friend replied:
I tell you, IJIII, Jump on the Chin
ese and give 'em hell. They ain't a
Chink In the county.'" »
f'rawf Whentley has the courage of
his convictions and makrn a clean,
straight from the shoulder light even
when he knows he Is taking the un
popular side of It. And he ran and
always doca the square thing, and
looses like the gentleman that he I*.
Thursday after the senate hud given
the klboeh to Ills substitute to the Uoy-
kin bill he sent up an amendment tn
the original measure. Senator A. O.
[Unlock objected on tha ground that
no previous notice hnd been given of It.
Immediately Senator Wheatley came
hi* feet and said:
transit It Is good to watch the wonder
ful swiftness and dexterity with which
Secretary Northen and Captain Han-
sell 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 was forgotten
once, hut It didn't make any difference.
The rote recorded oh the bill was 27
to 0.
"Lawyer” In Rome urges ex-Con-
gresaman John W. Maddox for a place
on the court of appeals. No abler man
or jurist could ba picked for the place.
Judge Maddox served eeveral yeara as
Judge of the Rome circuit before the
Seventh district sent him to congress.
Hla record on the bench was aa fine and
efficient as any man who ever wore the
ermine In Georgia. If north Georgia
can persuade Judge Maddox to aland
as its candidate, he can win, for he Is
the strongest man In that section,
without question. Long yeSra of up
right end useful public service have
ripened hie Judgment and brought to
him the complete confidence nnd esteem
of the people. At present he is may
or of Rome, and that city Is getting
an administration at his hands that
promises to revolutionise affairs there.
It he will allow, the use of his name he
will prove a strong candidate, and If
elected would make an able judge.
