THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
AFTER FIFTY HEATED AND BUSY DAYS
LEGISLA TURE 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 1:10 o'clock, with
floor littered with paper balls and oth
er missiles, with peace and good will
In their hearts and the strains of aa
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 elose 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 record.
Just Some Fun.

A filibustering expedition, led by
Senators Steed, Miller, Crum and Rose,
to defeat the cigarette bill, marked the
closing session 'of the senate Wednes
day night.
They did It, but every imaginable
dilatory tactic wad used. Senator Rose
amazed the senate by a speech of ten
minutes, explaining his vote on a mo
tion to adjourn, with stinging state
ly ents of wrongs done him by some
body.

com
mencement, and lacking new members
to Imze, 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
slier day, met his match when he spoke
on a measure near the closing hour.
The members Interrupted with question
alter 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
tirecne, always the target for uproar
ious applause, 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 favorite
orntor 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 tjie
house. Speaker Slaton hajnmered 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 at the midnight
hour when house and speaker paid
tribute to each other and the spirit of
friendship hovered over the scene of
wordy battles.
It waif after midnight when Speaker
Slaton was called to the floor, and Mr.
lmvls, of Burke, took the chair. Boy
kin Wright, of Richmond, rose In hie
scat and in a graceful address’present-
ed Speaker Slaton, In the name of tho
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. Slaton
bud not forgotten his eloquence during
his enforced silence In the chair.
.Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, speaker
pm tem., was next honored with the
gift of a Jeweled heart, presented for
the house by Mr. Akin, of Bartow. Mr.
Dunbar responded eloquently. Clerk
John T. Bolfeuillet was presented with
a wine service after a complimentary
address by Mr. Stovall, of Chatham,
and Reading Clerk McClatchey re
ceived a pair of cult bottons with an
address from Mr. Felder. Madison Bell
then closed the presentations by a
wen chosen address, complimenting
.Mrs. Lodalnger, the postmistress, with
a piece of Jewelry.
The members left the house slowly
after the last rap of the gavel. There
wore many handshakings and goodbys
among old friends and new. Many of
the old faces will be seen no more
in the house. Some have been elected
t i 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 tight for the 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
S3 to so, transfers Clarke county from
the Twenty-seventh to the Thirteenth
district; Dodge from the Fourteenth to
the Fifteenth district, and assigns the
new counties to districts as follows:
Toombs, Second district; JelT Davis,
Third district; Tift, Sixth district;
Brady, Seventh district; Turner, Tenth
district; Crisp, Fourteenth district;
Jenkins, Seventeenth district; 8te%
phens, Thirty-first district.
The hill was made an immediate spe
cial order at 9 o’clock and the fight
**gan at once, the representatives of
the Thirteenth district standing out
against having Clarke county forced
upon them. Mr. Anderson, of Chatham,
offered an amendment redlstrlctlng the
"hole state, but this and other amend-
hi,nu wore tabled by the Impatient
hoys,. The pazzage of the bill means
that the new countlez will be repre-
eented In the zenate next year, a mat-
1,1 unprovided for up to the dozing
hours of the azzcmbly. .

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
eeeelon that tho 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 senate order of business
kept It oft 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 bill, but Instantly Senator Steed or
Senator Miller Interposed an objection.
The evening wore 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. 50, 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 ton min
utes, and Senator Miller demanded the
aye and nay vote. That gave them a
shot at explaining their vote.
It was then about 11:80. Somebody
had placed a paper over the clock, but
It vanished shortly afterwards without
any ono but tho 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 whnt 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 and 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
again Senator Carswell, who had been
leading the light for the bill to come
up. withdrew his motion to consider It,
and that sounded the death knell over
the Porter antt-clgarette bill.
In a few minutes Senator Miller
casually cast ar. eagle eye gallery
ward, and obeerved In stentorian tone
that the senate had expired by consti
tutional limitation. It was 12:01 Thurs
day, August 16. 1306.
Then everybody went over to the
house to see loving cups and other nice
things given away.

At 8:80 Wednesday night the last
session ot 1906-6 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-pleaso
for the three and a half hours of the
wind-up. Everybody with taste for it
smoked cigars and even when the dig
nified presiding ofllcer returned to his
duties the smoking went right along.
The gallery occupied more than one
memBer most of the time. Pretty girls
and handsomermatrons were there until
a late hour. A senator would glance
smile, sneak, and a few minutes
later would be seen In animated con
versation with some fair visitor. Guer-
got so far

tlcularly attractive maid that he work

Loving Cup for President, j
About 11 o’clock Senator Wheatley
arose amid Impressive silence and call
ed the president to the floor. Then In a
few happy words tho senator from tho
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
ofllcer during tho 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
riod In his life.
He .gave high praise to the ability of
Senator Candler, and of the body as a
whole. The loving cup Is a very hand
some one of solid silver with huckhorn
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 ot all local
bills, and railroading the cigarette bill
to Inocuous 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 house retorted that the senate was
mistaken as to the hour, and Instead of
being midnight It was really only
10:65.
Senator Bunn rose to a question of
personal privilege, and then called on
Senator Fdrr for an explanation as to
why he had not joined the order of
benedicts. The senator referred to de
clined to bo Involved In so delicate a
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 bill 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 and efficient service, and the
press representatives tor fair and Im
partial reports of the proceedings.
Officially at 12 o’clock, unofficially at
13:45, the senate died, and after good
byes had been said moat of those re
maining went over to the house to see

The house committee appointed .by
Speaker Slaton to lnveatlgate the dif
ficulty on the floor of the house last
week between Representative Whit
ley, of Douglas, and Solicitor General
Charles D. Hill, 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 same was the resultant effect of
the strong provocative words used by
Dr. Whitley upon the floor of the house.
The committee recommends that the
explanation of Mr. HUI, tendered, a
short time after the difficulty, be ac
cepted and the incident closed. The
report of the committee waa adopted.

The gross earnings of the Western

state and leased to the Nashville, Chat

during the past year $19,142.99 per
mile. *
The average gross earnings per mile
of the great systems of the North Is
$9,306 per mile. This comparlMon and
a comparison with the earnings of oth
er roads In Georgia shows what a val

The committee of the house of rep
resentatlves appointed to Inspect ttie
Western and Atlantic nmde.lt* 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 the
amount spent upon its maintenance
during the past year. The net earn
ings were shown to be enormous.
Road in Good 8hapo.
Chairman Grovenstein, of the com
mittee, submitted the report which
eluted that the road was In good phys
ical condition. The tracks and bridges
were pronounced in perfect condition,
and the curves easy and properly laid
out. It was Bhown that the block sys
tem has been installed, greatly adding
to the safety of passengers and opera
tives. One new station nas been udded
Thirty miles of new rails have been
laid in the past year, and $.19,000 has
been expended In Improvement of the
buildings of the railway In Chatta
nooga.
The report shows that the operat
ing expenses of the road was nearly
$14,000 per mile In 1905, Indicating large
expenditures In Improvements. In
spite of this the net earnings per mile
was $5,294.01.
Comparisons Mads.
The report gives a comparison with
the earnings of other roads, as fol
low's:
"To show the prosperity of the busi
ness of this road, it Is only necessary
to make a comparative statement of
the earnings of the railroads of the
country. From the report given by the
