scene has never been seen IN TINS grim
prison Mrs. Golden was almost pros
trated and had to be carried up the
stone steps, where she was la1d down IN
the commissioners room.
Another mother had.a spell with her
heart, and for awhile it looked as II
she would die. Dr.. Wright was hast
iIv summoned, and after some minutes
work. succeeded in bringing the hapless
mother around an right.
It took medical aid to restore Mrs
Golden to her equilibrium also, and she
had to be sent home in hack She
also threatened suicide. Mrs. Golden
has a daughter II years of age, who
has also strayed from the right path
She was taken in charge by the police
matron, who will see that she changes
her life,
When the children arrived at the
home on Highland avenue they were
kindly received by the ladies there, and
in a few moments were playing marbles
with the other tots, as happy as crick-
cts, utterly ignorant OF the dramatlc
change that had just taken place IN
their lives.
1t is said there will be other writs of
habeas corpus taken out today and the
mothers will make every effort to re-
gain their children 1t is most proba-
BILE though, they will never succeed.
Early yesterday morning Detective
WOOten and the officers carried away
a little girl from the home of Cora How
ard, who now lives at 102 Elliott street
Yesterday afternoon Cora Howard en-
pIoyed Colonel W. T. Meyers to take
out a writ of habeas corpus for the lit
tie girl, whose name is Marion Law, the
child of Marie Law, young girl now
living in Macon The writ of habeas
corpus will be argued before Judge
Harry Reid tomorrow afternoon.
THE little girl had just eaten break
fast" said she, when the officers came.
I begged them to leave the child, for it
is so small and it was not well, but
they took it anyhow"
The result of the habeas corpus suit
will be watched with interest. 1t will
be remembered that Captain Grim was
indicted about ten years ago for kid
naping, he having carried away the
children from the disorderly houses of
the city. 1t is claimed by many that
the police have not the authority to
seize the children and carry them to
the station, as they have violated no
law and consequently cannot be arrest
ed and detained.

 from authority when it says: Let the blame for the premature ad. Journment of the legislature, last Thursday, without having accomp- iished anything for which it was elected, rests where it properly be- longs--with the senate. The house did everything within it's power 10 comply with the wishes of the people and passed the measures almost universally demanded of them, but from some inexplainable cause the senate has in a manner refused to act, and, as claimed by many, forced an early adjournment in order to avoid doing so. Why, we can only conjecture-and said conjecture would not be very com plimentary 10 that body. And now let us sec if we are not right The house, almost unanimously, passed railroad commission bill: the senate studiously avoided act. ion on it. The house passed bill regulating charges of express com. panies doing business in the state; the senate smothered it in the com.
 
 mittee room. The house passed a bill for a uniform system of text books; the senate killed it. The house passed the cigarette bill; the senate failed to act on it. In fact. 1t seemed 10 be utterly impractica- ble from some occult cause to get any action by that body on any legislation deemed adverse to rail. roads, corporation or trusts.
 Now what is the inference? The natural conclusion from such a course! No reflection should at- tach, however, to the entire body, as we honestly believe that fifteen or sixteen of its members were a credit to themselves and their co n- stituoncy. However, when that is said all is said. God save the bal. ance., Now, in our opinion, every one Of the members of that hodv' who has held as naught the ex- pressed will of the people as re- gards the above mentioned meas ures, should be held to a strict &C., countabillity by their constituency for so utterly ignoring their wishes and thelr interests in this respect. Each and every one of their names should Dc inetfaceably impressed upon the minds of the democracy ot the state, and in future the owners thereof should be consigned to their proper sphere-the shades of private life, as unworthy of pre- ferment or public trust. We, in future, as q member of the press, shall keep the names of the very honorable gentlemen enshrined in our memory and promise them, if they should again ask anything at the hands of the people, they shall be reminded of the past. o tenn pora. 0 mores. .g
