AFTER FIFTY HEATED AND BUSY DAYS
LEGISLATURE PASSES OUT OF EXISTENCE
MUCH JOLLIFICATION
AND A LITTLE WORK
IN FINALE OF HOUSE
Singing an Old Hymn
Representatives
Say Farewell.
With the hands of the big clock
pointing to midnight, though watches
showed that it was 1:20 o’clock, with
floor littered with paper balls and oth
er missiles, with peace and good will>
in their hearts and the strains of an
old hymn floating through the air, the
house of representatives adjourned sine
die Thursday morning.
The night session was not so tu
multuous as some which have marked
the close of the general assembly.
While it is true that the members
were kept dodging paper balls at odd
moments and an amateur glee club in
the corridor Insisted on singing “Way
Down Yonder in the Cornfield,” the
house was not so disorderly as to delay
business seriously. A number of bills
were passed on the last day, though the
house made no attempt to meet the
senate recit'd.
Just 8ome Fun.
Several old scores were paid off at
the night session. Members who are
usually silent and retiring threw off
their reverence for leaders like fresh
men on the eve of their first com
mencement, and lacking new members
to haze, turned their attention to old
ones. Joe Hill Hall, the lion of the
center aisle, who had dominated the
house by riding roughshod over it day
after day, met his match when he spoke
on a measure near the closing hour.
The members Interrupted with question
after question, firing them from every
corner of the house and badgering the
gentleman from Bibb until his debate
turned into a roar. Mr. Smith, of
Greene, always the target for uproar
ious uppiause, was greeted with Joy
when he rose to speak, and after the
noise died away Mr. Felder, of Bibb,
paid a graceful tribute to the favorlto
orator of the house.
Debate became heated at times. The
excitement of the closing day, the
knowledge that time was flying and
bills dying on the table, made several
members forget the parliamentary
courtesy which usually prevails, and
at times sharp words flew across t,he
house. Speaker Slaton hammered his
’ desk until his arm was tired, but he
soon gave up the idea of guiding his
unruly team to any definite point, and
contented himself with keeping It in
the big road. No serious trouble arose
and any differences that arose on the
floor were forgotten nt the midnight
hour when house and speaker paid
tribute to each other nnd the spirit of
friendship hovered over the scene of
wordy battles.
It was after midnight when Speaker
Slaton was called to the floor, and Mr.
Davis, of Burke, took the chair. Boy
kin Wright, of Richmond, rose In his
seat and in a graceful address present
ed Speaker Slaton, in the name of the
house, with a handsome silver loving
cup. The speaker's address of ac
knowledgment was one of the gems of
the session and proved that Mr. frfaton
had not forgotten his eloquence during
his enforced silence in the chair.
Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, speaker
pro tern., was next honored with the
gift of a Jeweled henrt, presented for
the house by Mr. Akin, of Bartow. Mr.
Dunbar responded eloquently. Clerk
John T. Bolfeulllet was presented with
a wine service after a complimentary
address by Mr. Stovall, of Chatham,
and Reading Clerk McClatchey re
ceived a pair of cuff bottons with an
address from Mr. Felder. Madison Bell
then closed the presentations by a
well chosen address, complimenting
Mrs. Ledsinger, the postmistress, with
a piece of Jewelry.
The members left the house slowly
after the last rap of the gavel. Thero
were many handshakings and goodbye
among old friends and new. Many of
the old faces will be seen no more
in the house. Some have been elected
t > the senate, others have either re
fused to accept another term or have
fallen a victim to the caprice of chang
ing politics. But the old guard will be
strong enough when the house con
venes again to give the new members
a welcome and teach them the rules
in the little black book.
Work of Last Day.
The greatest fight of the closing
pension was over the bill assigning the
new counties to senatorial districts.
The fight for tlie bill was led by Joe
Hill Hall, of Bibb, who won his points
after two hours of work on the floor
and succeeded In sweeping away all
conflicting amendments proposed by
the two houses.
The measure, which was passed by
•3 to 30, transfers Clarke county from
the Twenty-seventh to the Thirteenth
district; Dodge from the Fourteenth to
th«* Fifteenth district, and assigns the
new counties to districts as follows:
Toombs, Second district; Jeff Davis,
Third district; Tift, Sixth district;
Grady, Seventh district; Turner, Tenth
district; Crisp, Fourteenth district;
Jenkins, Seventeenth district; Ste
phens, Thirty-first district.
The bill was made an immediate spe
cial order at 9 o’clock and the fight
began at once, the representatives of
the Thirteenth district standing out
against having Clarke county forced
upon them. Mr. Anderson, of Chatham,
"fferod an amendment redistrlctlng the
"hole state, but this and other amend
ments were tabled by the Impatient
h"U5t». The passage of the bill means
that the new counties will be repre
sented in the senate next year, a mat
ter unprovided for up to the closing
hours of the assembly. ,

INJURIES FORGOTTEN
AND WOUNDS HEALED
IN SENATE SESSION
CIGARETTE FIENDS
MAY REST IN EASE
Bill to Abolish Coffin-Tacks
Kilted by Filibus
tering.
filibustering expedition, led by
Senators Steed, Miller, Crum and Rosej
to defeat the cigarette bill, marked the
closing session of the senate Wednes
day night. ,
They did it, but every imaginable
dilatory tactic was used. Senator Rose
amazed-the senate by a speech of ten
minutes, explaining his vote on a mo
tion to adjourn, with stinging state
ments of wrongs done him by some
body.
The presumption Is that he had ref
erence to something that occurred in
the Judiciary committee when the bill
given a favorable report. The sen
ator, when requested for specifications
on his arraignment, replied that he
wasn’t out for newspaper notoriety,
but would whisper his grievances aside
to anybody who wanted to hear them.
There were no takers.
Didn’t Want a Vote.
It developed during the afternoon
session that the cigarette bill was not
going to be allowed to get down to a
vote if the opponents could avoid it.
It was clear that a majority of the
senate favored It, but the minority
against it was composed of a coterie of
gentlemen excessively smooth in stav
ing off things not desired.
The afternoon session went by with
out its being reached. At the night
session the sennte order of business
kept it off until late. A mass of house
bills were skidded through, and once
or twice some fortunate party would
squeeze through a house general bill
that nobody cared about. It required
consent without objection to do It. It
Is singular that two of the three cigar
ette smokers in the senate, Senators
Candler and Carswell, wanted it to
come to a vote.
Now and then Senator King or some
body would move to take up the cigar
ette hill, but Instantly Senator Steed or
Senator Miller Interposed an objection.
The evening wpre on until the clerk's
desk was cleared of local matters.
Some time was spent In fiddling for an
opening on the cigarette measure.
Senator Foster slipped up on them
by moving consideration of house bill
No. GO, and as no one objected, the
cigarette bill was taken up. Then be
gan a series of skirmishes ridiculous
to see. When the vote began on it, it
developed that no quorum was present
for the opponents took a quiet sneak
to unknown parts.
Then .the roll call began to develop
whether a quorum was present or not.
It was there all right, but Senator
Steed moved to adjourn for ten min
utes, and Senator Miller demanded the
aye nnd nay vote. That gave them a
shot at explaining their vote.
It was then about 11:30. Somebody
had placed a paper over the clock, but
It vanished shortly afterwards without
any one but the Interested parties ob
serving it. Then Senator Rose made
his scare statement as to wrongs visit
ed on him.
An Iniquitous Bill.
Senator Crum got mightily excited
In explaining his vote. He said it was
the most Iniquitous bill he ever wot of,
and wanted to know what tho senate
meant frittering away time on such a
matter when other Important things
ought to occupy it.
"If you think that way, why don’t
you let the senate vote on it nnd de
cide?” queried Senator Carswell.
Senator Blalock, without committing
himself either way, said he did not be
lieve in killing legislation In any such
manner. But the motion for a ten-
minutes recess prevailed by a narrow
margin.
When the president rapped for order
ngaln Senator Carswell, who had been
leading the fight for the bill to come
up, withdrew his motion to consider it,
nnd that sounded the death knell over
the Porter anti-cigarette bill.
e\v minutes Senator Miller
casually cast ar. eagle eye gallery-
ward. and observed In stentorian tone
that the senate had expired by consti
tutional limitation. It was 12:01 Thurs
day, August 16, 1906.
Then everybody went over to the
house to see loving cups and other nice
things given away.

Charming Women
Witness Closing of
the Senate.
Injuries were forgot, wounds healed
and the hatchet buried in the final ses
eion of the senate.
At 8:30 Wednesday night the last
session of 1905-6 began with Senator
Rose In the chair. President West hav
ing failed to arrive at that hour.
It was a kind of go-as-you-please
for the three and a half hours of the
wind-up. Everybody with taste for It
smoked cigars and even when the dig
nlfled presiding officer returned to his
duties the smoking went right along.
The gallery occupied more than one
member most of the time. Pretty girls
and handsome matrons were there until
a late hour. A senator would glance
up, smile, sneak, and a few minutes
later would be seen in animated con
versatlon with some fair visitor. Guer
ry Brannon, chief clerk to the senate,
got so far behind with his work sev
eral times from rubbering at some par
tlcularly attractive maid that he work
ed himself into a fever afterwards try
ing to catch up.
Loving Cup for President.
About 11 o’clock Senator Wheatley
arose amid Impressive silence and call
ed the president to the floor. Then in a
few happy words the senator from the
Thirteenth Introduced Senator Murphy
Candler, who made the speech present
ing a very handsome loving cup to
President West
He paid splendid tribute to the fair
ness and impartiality of the presiding
officer during the two sessions.
President West was almost over
come with emotion when he arose to
reply. He said that words failed to ex
press his deep appreciation of this tes
timonial of the affectionate regard of
the senate, and that he would ever keep
the cup as a souvenir of a happy pe
rlod In his life.
He gave high praise to the ability of
Senator Candler, nnd of the body as a
whole. The loving cup Is a very hand
some one of solid sliver with buckhorn
handles. It is Inscribed as follows:
”W. S. West, President of the Sen
ate of Georgia, from the members of
the Session of 1905-6.”
Had Fun at the Wind-Up.
After clearing the desk of all local
bills, and railroading the cigarette bill
to lnocuous desuetude, everybody pro
ceeded to have a good time. Notice
was sent over to the house that the
hour for adjournment had arrived, but
the houso retorted that the senate was
mistaken as to the hour, and Instead of
being midnight it was really only
10:55.
Senator Bunn rose to a question of
•ersonal privilege, and then culled on
lenator Furr for an explanation as to
why he had not Joined the order of
benedicts. The senator referred to de
clined to be Involved In so delicate u
discussion, which led some to insinuate
that he has early designs of clearing
himself of Senator Bunn’s charge.
Joe Hill Hall came over to see how
affairs were getting on and was called
on for some remarks. He made them
by taking a shot at the senate for fail
ure to pass the first hill passed by the
house, the state auditor measure of the
gentleman from Bibb.
In the wind-up resolutions were
passed thanking senate officials for
faithful nnd efficient service, nnd the
press representatives for fair nnd im
partial reports of the proceedings.
Officially at 12 o’clock, unofficially at
12:45, the senate died, and after good
byes had been said most of those re
maining went over to the house to see
the curtain fall.

Apologies Are Made to tho
House and Are Ac

The house committee appointed by
Speaker Slaton to investigate the dif
ficulty on the floor of the house last
week between Representative Whit
ley, of Douglas, and Solicitor General
Charles D. Hlil, submitted a report
Wednesday afternoon in which the
statements of the two disputants that
they had not contemplated the alterca
tion and had intended no discourtesy
to the house were accepted.
The two gentlemen met on the floor
on the day subsequent to Dr. Whitley’s
remarks on the Mattingly bond bill and
after a word or two came to blows.
The committee finds that Mr. Hill was
the aggressor by word and blow and
the came was the resultant efTect of
tho strong provocative words used by
I>r. Whitley upon the floor of the house.
The Committee recommends that the
explanation of Mr. Hill, tendered a

The average gross earnings per mile

The committee of the house of rep
resentatlves appointed to inspect the
Western and Atlantic made its report
to the house Wednesday afternoon.
While the report showed the usual
routine Inspection there were several
items which stood out In bold relief.
Chief of these was the remarkable
earning capacity of the road and tho
amount spent upon its maintenance
during the past year. The net earn
ings were show n to be enormous.
Road in Good 8haps.
Chairman Grovensteln, of the com

to the safety of passengers and opera
tives. One new stution has been added.
Thirty miles of new rulls have been
laid In the past year, and $30,000 has
been expended in Improvement of the
buildings of the railway In Chatta

The report shows that the operat
