GOV. MEASURE
Bill to Create Such Office in
Georgia Will Be Taken Up
Again Today, However.
—The house of representa
tives spent practically a!', of Wednes
days session debating tile constitu
tional amendment to create the office
of lieutenant governor, and, at the
close of the debate, failed to pass the
bill by tile close margin of eight votes.
The two-thirds majority of the house
required to pass constitutional amend
ments is 123 votes. The vote in favor
of the lieutenant governor bill was
116. The vote against it was 56.
Representative Culpepper of Meri ■
wether, one of the supporters of tho
bill, gave notice of a motion to re
consider Thursday, and at that time
the supporters ol* the bill expect to
put it through.
The debate on the bill started at
10:30 o'clock and the roll call vote was
finished at 12:30 The house then
adjourned for the day.
Slater Opens Debate.
Representative Slater of Bryan
opened the debate on the lieutenant
governor’s bill, sittaking for it. Ho
stressed the tact that the death, resig
nation or disability of the governor
between the election of a new gen
eral assembly and their installation
would leave the state without a gov
ernor. because during that period there
is no president of the senate.
Representative Maze of Johnson op
posed the bill on the ground that the
state already has a sufficiency of
"sinecure jobs." He offered an amend
mend making the president of the sen
ate the lieutenant governor.
Representative Fullbright of Burke
spoke for the bill. He offered an
ante intent striking out the salary of
SI,OOO provided in the bill and leav
ing the salary to be fixed by the gen
ital assembly, lie said the consti
tution already fixes too many salaries,
with the result that the general as
sembly has too little latitude in rais
ing the salaries which ought to ne
raised. He gave in a forceful way the
arguments showing toe necessity for
the office of lietuenant governor. The
constitution now provides, he pointed
out, that the president of the senate
shall become governor in the event of
the governor’s death, resignation or
disability. During eight months every
two years, i. e., between the election
of a new general assembly and their
installation, there is no president of
the senate and therefore no constitu
tional provision for succession to the
governor’s chair. He said the state
has escaped serious complications
from this situation only because
•’Providence has smiled upon it.”
Representative Culpepper of Meri
wether spoke for the bill. Replying
to Representative Moye's eulogy ot
Robert Toombs and other framers ot
tile constitution, he said the people
have the right to “change that sacred
document, and frequently do change
it. because changes are continually
necessary to meet npw conditions.’
He said there is no reason why the
bill should not pass and lie hoped the
house would not be influenced by
prejudicial arguments.
Representatives Miller of Bibb*Gow
cr of Crisp and Griffin of Lowndes
spoke for the bill, after which the
main question was ordered and Repre
sentatives Moss of Cobb, Greene of
Houston, Blackbustn of Fulton, and
Pipquet of Richmond closed for the
committee.
The bill, with pending amendments,
was tlten placed on passage.
fn amendment by Mr. Fullbright
eliminating reference to the lieuten
ant governor's salary and leaving tho
same to be fixed by the general as
sembly was adopted.
An amendment by Messrs. Moye of
Johnson and Pickett of Terrell to make
the president of the senate the lieu
tenant governor was rejected.
On the call of the roll the vote for
tnc bill was 115 and the vote against
the bill 56.
This was eight votes less than the
two-thirds majority necessary to pass
the bill.
Representative Culpepper of Meri
wether gave notice of a motion to re
consider Thursday and the house then
adjourned.

WRONG BREAKFAST.
Change Gave Rugged Health, f
Many persons think that for
gtrengtn, they must begin the day
with a breakfast of meat and other
neavy foods. This is a mistake as
anyone can eagily discover Tor him
self.
A W. Va carpenter's experience may
benefit others. He writes:
"I used to be a very heavv break
last eater but finally indigestion caus
ed me such distress, 1 became atraid
to eat anything.
"My wife suggested a trial of Grape-
Nuts and as I had to eat something
or starve, I concluded to take her ad
vice. She fixed me up a dish and I
remarked at the time that the Quality
was all right, but the quantitv was
too small— l wanted- a saucerful.
"But she said a small amount of
Grape-Nuts went a long way and that
I must eat it according to directions
So I started in with Grai *-.\'uta and
< ream, 2 soft boiled eggs and some
crisp toast for breakfast.
' I cut out meats and a lot of other
stuff I had been used is eating all
my life and was gratified to see that
I was getting better right along, I
concluded I had struck the right tnlng
and stuck to It. i had not onlv been
eating improper food, but too much.
“I was working at the carpenter’s
trade at that time and thought that
unless I had a hearty breakfast with
plenty of meat, I would plsy out be
lore dinner. But after a few days of
my "new breakfast" I found I could
do more work, felt better In everv
way. and now I am not bothered with
Indigestion.”

That MadeMiiwuikee famous
THE MORNING WITH
THE RECORDER
A faint and far-off echo of a shoot
ing scrape came and lingered for a
moment about the pensive and en
chanted ears ofr the court this morn
ing like the sound of a sweet music.
But there turned out to be nothing to
it. The echo was wafted in from that
mysterious region known as the ‘‘Dip,’’
hut the County Sheriff’s Office, When
telephoned this mornifg, said that it
was but an idle tale.
Reporters are like those parched
and sand-blind travelers who stumble
across the desert to the cool hills on
the horizon —which nine times out of
ten turn out to be mirages.
Instead, therefore, of having your
ears regaled with the filled out and
established story of the shooting
scrape, you must be content to hear
the echo.
A' colored hackman picked up a ditto
passenger at the corner of Walker and
Campbell streets, two passengers In
fact, and agreed to take them out to
the Dip and back for a dollar each.
“Take us. first,’' one said, “to the
Eureka Hotel. We want to pick up
a friend."
Officer Dunn heard ihe bargain
made when the hack was first plckefl
up.
They proceeded swiftly to the Hotel
Eureka and found the friend who, it
appeared, had Just come back from the
Dip.
"Don’t you go out yonder," he cau
tioned them. "Dey’e a big shootln’
gwine on out dere. Dey all after a
fellow name Railroad. Better not go
out."
(Reporters’ ears prieked up at thi<.
It looked like a sure thing which rival
reporters had missed over night.)
The rest of the case was blurred
and confused on account of the visions
called up of the shooting scrape out
at the Dip, a golden Item of news.
Never did find out what the hack load
was arrested for or anything about 't
except that the Judge dismissed the
case. And then, rushing to the near
est telephone, called up the Sheriff’s
Office with eager and impatient zeal.
Nothing had been heard of It. It was
smoke without fire. Did you ever hear
of such a thing?
YACHTB FOGBOUND.
Newport, R. I.— The three American
cut) yac ts, Resolute, Vanitie, and De
fiance remained fogbound In Newport
harbor today. The regatta committee
decided there was little prospect of
the fog lifting and declared the race
planned for today postponed until to
morrow.
Dead Rats to Atlanta
Mayor; Misunderstanding
I ———■
Atlanta, Ga —Mayor Jim Woodward
of Atlanta Is anxious to know whether
the new crematory which has caused
so much trouble Is able to burn the
bodies of 427 rats he has on his of
ficial hands. He got them through a
misunderstanding. r
•A West End gentleman, reading the
papers aloud to his wife, mentioned
the fact that the mayor of Memphis
had offered five cents each for every
dead rat brought to the city hall. His
ten year old son was interested, but
ho didn’t listen closely and thought
his father was reading of the Atlanta
mayor. He enlisted the aid of a dozen
other boys and got busy.
Next day the city ball officials were
surprised to receive a delegation of
eleven boys, one little girl, eighteen
dogs of various brands, and several
sacks of dead rodents. Explanations
were of no avail, and if the mayor
could have found a way to divert the
city funds to a rat bounty the young
sters certainly would have got their
money.
