FRICKSFUMES WITHFURY
EDITOR TRIPL TT BOMBARDED
WITH BILLINGsGATE.

Board OF Health Bill.
ATLANTA, GA. Oct. 1.-Mr. tricks of
Franklin varied the House routine to-day
by rising to question of personal privilege.
of which he made Editor Triplett of the
Thomasville Tines the subject. Mr.. tricks
distinguished himself last week by narrow
minded opposition to the bill for a state
board of health. The Times, in a recent
issue, embalmed him in the following edi-
torlal:
That was a marrow gauge member of the
House who said. when discussing the state
board OF health Il don't think the people OF
North Georgia should pay for the protection OF
the people of South Georgia" His name is
Fricks. tricks evidently belongs to the
statesmen. Eric IS does not Look beyond bis
front gate, if he has such an appendage bout
his premises. tricks is a fool. man who can
not legsiate for the whole state should be left
at home This is about the meanest thin per-
petrated by any member of re present legis-
lature. South Georgia, Southeast Georgia and
Southwest Georgia are not beggars or mendi
canis. They pour their wealth into the state
treasury by the thousands, Jpor p lOer-
ally. every state institution in Nj ale and North
Georgia, and II comes in very bad taste for a
representative from that section TO talk about
North Georgi, protecting Sou Georgia
Such narrow gaugs men as FricSs make the
READ TO THE HOUSE
Mr.. tricks had this read by the clerk and
the amusement of the House showed that
it was joyed. The gentleman from Frank
liz then said: Mr. Speaker rise to a
question of personal privilege. Afew days
ago the House bad before it bill to estab-
lish a state board Of health Some of the
friends of the measure moved to table the |
bill, which motion was lost. They then |
moved to have the bill recommittei. This |
motion also failed. Then the gentleman |
from Gwinnett moved to have it indef- |
nitelv postponed. At this juncture the |
gentleman from Chatham remarked that |
the members from North Georgia ought net |
TO vote down the bill in any such way.
WHAT HE SAID.
''In EXPLAIN my vote, 1 stated that |
voted to indefinitely postpone the bill be- |
cause was opposed to 1t. further sta ell |
that the bill was unjust, because it only |
recognized one sch ol Of physicians; be- |
sides, there was no necessity for any ch |
law in The stat. North Georgia and Mid |
die Georgia were oppos d to it in toto. If |
the people Of South Georgia wanted it, let |
them es ablish it and pay for it.
DIDN'T INTEND sEcTIoNAL1sM.
II did not use the language in the sense |
nor In the connection as quoted in the |
Ihomasville and other papers, aud what | !
did say was said. not in a spirit of section |
alism, but in reply to the re marks of som
OF the gentlemen who favored the till | |
have the welfare of the whole state at heart,
and every vote that l have cast on the |
noor OF this House has been, as | thought, |
to the best Interests of the S ate at large, !
ana not n any particular section.
JUMPING ON THE EDITOR.
snow, Mr.. Speaker, want to saw that |
the criticism of this dirty and foul-m1utaed |
editor of the Thomavlle Times, whose
bame believe is Trlplett, lcalled for
and unjust, and judging from the tone of |
his slang, he must be jus, recoveri g from
case OF dellrlum trenens o. IN liguant fever,
aud | want to say that if thi jackleg |
gopher editor wants to shoot at fool |
10 reverse his vile anger papar wads |
and DOT himself, and thus relieve I omas- |
vile of the biggest pest and dirtiest fool In |
Georgia. And in dis mis- e him. | wish !
to say that If we don't es lish the state |
board OF health where he can be treated for |
his vile diseases, We i'll try and get HIN
admitted into the lunatic as lum, vEere b |
may be ured of deIirium tremens aid |
other destructive diseases that are preying
on his little brain"
THE EDITOR DEFENDED
When Mr.. Frck sat down. Mr.. .McIntvre
OF Thomas rose IN defense of Editor Triplett
whom be referred to as a sou and sterling |
democrat, a delegate to the last two national |
conventions, confederate veteran of SPOT |
les record, and the peer of any man in he |
state. The statement OF the gentleman from |
Franklin that Editor Triplett was fool a I'd |
drunkard he denounced AS absolutely false. |
FELToN's EDUCATIONAL BILL.
The House spent nearly the entire day in |
conn., lttee or the whole n Mr.. Felton's |

have killed it, as it could not rally a consti |
