THE BRIBERY INVESTIGATION
Calhoun and Livingston Allowed to
Make a Denial

| ATLANTA. GA, Aug. 1S.-The joint COM
mittee TO investigate the charge that eight
members of the legislature offered to sell
their votes to Pat Calhoun in the senatorial
race last fall meets tomorrow and begins
its real work. They have held only one
meeting SO far and that was to allow Col
Livingston and Mr.. Calhoun TO disciaim
making the statement upon which the
charge is based Their evidence before the
committee was merely formal repetition
of what they had already stated.
Mr.. CALHOUN's STATEMENT.
In substance Mr.. Calhoun said that no
member Of the legislature had offered his
vote 10 him for a consideration, nor had
ANYTHING been said TO him in regard to the
use of money by any member Of the general
assembly. The only suggestion which had
been made 20 him at all in regard to the use
of money was that there we're certain mem
bers of the legislature who were undecided,
and that if certain influential persons
from abroad were sent for, whose ex-
penses he (Mr. Calhoun was TO pay, they
could influence these members to vote for
him. This he refused to do as he wished to
be elected, if elected at all, on his own merit.
He had heard rumors as to where and how
to use money, and had even heard the
names of certain members mentioned to
whom he might apply, but he had refused
to take advantage of any and all PROPOSE
tions made on this line
COL. LIvINGsToN's DENIAL.
Col. Livingston in effect said: "No mem
Der of the legislature has over approached
me on the subject, neither have l ever ap-
preached any member looking 70 the pur-
chase or improper influence Of a single vote
for Mr.. Calhoun. | was present when GER
tain rumors were discussed, in which it was
stated that if certain influential persons
from abroad were brought onto the
ground, which would cost a reasonable
sum of money, perhaps $4,000 or $4,000,
that seven or eight members of the legisla
ture could be influenced to vote for Mr.
Calhoun. The only reason why | refer to
the rumors was because | was asked If Mr..
Calhoun had used money in the senatorial
contest. l stated that did not think he
had.n
The president Of the Muscogee county al
lance, TO whom Col. Livingston, it Is al
legged, made the statement, will be here to-
morrow and appear before the committee.

This was the first test of the work re-
Gently done and yet in progress. 1t seems
to demonstrate that Brunswick will secure

Arguments For and Against Hesro
by the Corporation Committee

| Arguments For and Against Hesro
by the Corporation Committee.
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 1S-The corpora
ton committee devoted its entire time Vnis
afternoon to the discussion OF the Macon
water works bill. The bill is introduced oy
Representative Boifeuillet and allows Ma
con to issue sll2 900 bonds to ou'iu water
| works -,
| Roth sides were dead in earnest and all
| the Hats obtainable touching the case was
! at hand City Attorney Patterson, rep
| rAsentinp the mayor and tne COUNCIL,
a-T,aars9 first The line of his argument
was that Macon should own her water
works He said that Atlanta, Savannah ana
Augusta did it. He said the present com,
napy had been derelict in its duty ana had
furnished the city
! 1rorrrFrED MUD INSTEAD OF WATER
President A. E. B1ardman of the Macon
/ Gas Light and Water company appeared
nett in opposition to the bill He contended
that the measure was unnecessary, and even
unjust. He said that for the city TO own
its water works 1t would have to conhscate
private property. Besides, be added, his
company was preparing to meet the de-
mauds made upon It.
He was frequently interrupted by Mayor
Price and Messrs Harris, Tinsley and
others.
Hon. C. L. Bartlett followed in behalf of
the Macon Gas Light and Water Company
and fought the bill vigorously. He kept on
pretty much the same line as that Of Presi-
dent Boardman, arguing the legal points in
the case.
The committee was In session three hours
and half and ad journed to meet to-mor-
row morning at s o'clock to resume its
work.
PROSPECTS OF THE ISSUE.
Representative Boiteuillet said tonight
that the argument would be concluded to
morrow morning, and some action would
be taken upon the measure.
Judge Gastin, representing the opposers
Of the bill, will submit an amendment TO
the committee, the adoption of which pro-
vides that the city of Macon should pur-
chase the present water works plant at
price to be determined by arbitration. The
advocates of the bill will not accept any
thing like this, and they say upon this point
the main fight will be carried out.
City Attorney Patterson will speak to-
morrow again, followed, perhaps. by Mayor
Price, representing the mayor and council,
and Judge Killbee, representing the board
Of trade and individual members.
- tits likely that Representatives Boifeuillet
and Huff will speak.

Carbonic acid gas, artesian water and little

summer beverage, Soda Water. Some dealers
know how to make it and serve it, others do not.
It's no good if it isn't all right. A large fancy

most popular soda in the city of New York is
drawn from simple counter faucet. The most
popular sodain Savannah is drawn at Heidts,

water is always right. Why? Because it is made
right and served right. Try it and see Heidi uses
the finest of fruit juices in the best rock candy

and every glass is just cool enough. Heidi
gives you soda in dainty thin glasses in bright
