Forsyth St. Tha house Tuesday morning defeated the senate bill of Senator ,Wheatley to create the office of lieutenant gov ernor, after a debate which occupied moat of the morning eeselon. The bill received a majority of the vote repre. aented but lacked the neceesary 117 votea ne< -saary to Its passngs. Mr. Felder, of Bibb, Introduced subsf'vis bill which provided for the ■uccea.ion of cabinet offleera to the governorship In case of a vacancy but this waa also lost through lack of a two-thlrda rote. The debate on the senate bill was taken up by a number of floor leaders and brought out many bit* of strong argument. The fact that for several months there will be no president of the senate who might succeed the gov ernor In cats of that official's death was dwelt upon. The house was called to order by Speaker Slaton at 9 o'clock. Mr. Hall, of Bibb, called up the bill by Senator Strange providing for the amendment of the code relative to suits against railroads. This bill provides ttiut suits may be brought against a railroad In the country, where the damage Is sus. talned regardless of whether the rail road has an agent In that county. Mr. Hall wished the bill put on the callen- dar that he might disagree with the unfavorable report of the general Ju diciary committee. Extended debate followed. Mr. Hall ■poke for hie measure. Mr. Ferry, of Hall, and Mr. Akin, of Bartow, opposed It. Mr. Kelly, of Glascock, moved the previous question. Mr. Hall demanded the yeas and nays. Several members voted against the bill for the reason that by giving th* right to bring suit In any county ths plaintiff might choose It would tend to concentrate the suits In th* hands of city lawyers and damage claim special ists to the disadvantage of country lawyers. Strange Bill Defeated. The house refused to disagree with the report of the committee and the bill was defeated for this reason. Upon motion of Mr. Kelly, of Glas cock, the senate bill to create a state supervisor of teachers' Institutes, the state school commissioner to fill ths office, was recommltteed to the com mittee on education. A resolution by Mr. Hardman, of Jackson, and others, providing for ths adjustment of the claim of hairs at law of Sherman J. Sima, waa passed.

U there were any disabilities then the at torney general could succeed to the executive and a regular line of eucces< ■Ion might be formed. "There le no need for a lieutenant E overnor," said Mr. Felder. "Do you elleve that w# could find a man with the ability to be governor who wouid make a campaign for lieutenant gov ernor at a salary of 2400 a year, merely on the chance of becoming governor through the death of the governor? Wright Defends Bill. Mr. Wright, of Richmond, urged the passage of the bill. If* eald tbat If tbe governor should die there would be no- ibody to call the legislature Into session to elect another. He favored the elec tion of a possible successor to th# governor by the people. He showed how the present legislature will oeaa* to eslkt on the first Wednesday of next October, and should the governor die between that dale and the fourth Wed neadsy In June, there would be n< president of the eenate to succeed to the vacant place. Mr. Felder asked If It would not be unwise to provide that a lieutenant ^ ovenicr preside over tbe senate, when e might be entirely unfamiliar with parliamentary law and the senate rules. "Any man who will give forty-eight hours' study of the rule book, replied Mr. Wright, "will know enough to pre side over the senate.’’ 1 Seaborn Wright, of Floyd, apoke elo quently In support of the bill, claiming a round of applause from tbe usually Indifferent house. * ... Mr. Hall, of Bibb, argued against the bill, on the ground that If gave tbe lieutenant governor a vote In the sen ate In com of a tie, thereby creating a new senator. . . Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, spoke for the bill. The original bill waa put upon Its passage and Mr. Felder opened the de bate against It. He said the lieuten ant gwemor would be a kind 0fin«e monkey with a silk hat and maybe a few stars on his shoulders to go around and make speeches when the governor '* Mr.*Flynt, of Spalding, led Ihe debate In favor of th* MIL Messrs.. Anderson, Wilcox, Steed and Perry followed, ■peaking for the measure. "Any candidate who survives the present campaign ought to be good for 100 years,” said Mr. Perry. Wheatley Bill Killed. The vote was taken and the vote showed 16 ayes and 82 nays. The bill failed to receive the requisite two- thirds, or 117 votes, and was lost. The substitute bill of Mr. Felder, of Bibb, was then read.
