THURSDAY. JULY 9. rare flown n. 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.

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.” Name given by Postum Co.. Battle r ieel;. Mich.

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. NEW ORLEANS COLLECTOR.
