THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. Till - HAD AY. ALUL'ST 1«, ixe. 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. , 1u** house concurred In the senate amend to the bill of Mr. McMIchael, of M-’iru.n, relative to’local taxation for ills- tu t schools, thus permitting the measure Mr!

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.

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.

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 short time after the difficulty, be ac cepted nnd the Incident closed. The report of the committee was adopted.

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.
