W1LLINGIIAM'S BILL KILLED IN
THE SENATE.
(By Telegraph to Vlrglnian- Plot1

Q3y Telegraph to Vlrginian- Pllot)
Atlanta. Ga, Dec. S.-By n vote of &c
to ii the NVilllngham bill was killed in
the Senate to-day and State prohibition
defeated. The various roll calls con-
sulncd an hour, n great many Senators
rising to explain their votes.
The debate in The Senate commenced
two days ago and was carried on with
great vigor Every interest in the State
influenced by the whiskey traffic fought
the passage OF the bill anu all moral
agencies were used in its favor. Had
the measure passed the Senate 1t would
have been so amended as 10 kill its
purpose.
The entire fight has been one OF the
ficivest the State has ever known along
this line, but it is now believed the
question is effecautlly settled for some
time.
The Willingham bill provided for the
closing of all saloons, the aholishng OF
all brcweries and distillcries, and made
ii statutory crime for any one to give
a drink of Intoxicating liquor TO an
other except as medicine prescribed
by physician
The bill further provided that no club
or hotel should have liquors in it's din
ing rooms or cafe. but this did not applv
TO private entertainments or banquets.

Branch Post Office In Atlantic City
Editor Virginian-Pilot:

2 . s. +. 81 q j :
The city of Norfolk is no longer a vii
lage. Its business is no longer contract
cd and pressed into one or two squares.
One OF it's chief enterprises, the cotton
business, has left the old part of the
city altogether, and is building up Il
world OF its own in Atlantic City Ward.
The demands of !; the cotton interest
arc too important to be overlooked,
Dnt there are other considerations Of
equal import, that coustrains me TO
request the Postoitice authorities to cs-
fablish a Branch Postotlce for Atlantic
City Ward. ~
One not familiar with business can
Eardly appreciate the almost constant
demand upon "a postonlce There are
letters and packages to be Registered;
mail TO be had promptly; registered
packages OF importance 60 Dc received.
ana mail,to be sent, besides numerous
other important details that have TO be
transacted.
Nor does the free delivery help the
situation. 1t is well known that near
" every business concern in the city
has It's private box at the office, not
depending atall upon the free delivery.
All enterprising citizens desire 10 see
the city building up, spreading out and
growing rich; and they desire TO aid by
advocating every convenience known in
The business world.
MI large cities have their Branch
oiiices. Why not Norfolk? If tic Post

ihNCE, can afford rural delivery. sure

santa Fe Talks Of Kansas and Okla
hOmh.


hOmh,
James A Davis, industrial commission
er Of the Santa Fe railroad, passed
through Wichita yesterday on his return
from a trip through Oklahoma. He is
surprised at the crops everywhere. In
respect to Oklahoma Mr. Davis said:
There is no place., section or country
where prosperity IS so rampantly mani
fest as it is in Oklahoma. It is posi-
lively Inspiring to see that country now
and hear the reports of everyone in that
extraordinary section of the success
which has followed every venture.
There is another enterprise very
nearly developed which means absolute
redemption from crop failure in western
Kansas. 1 refer to the irrigation enter
prise near Great Bend which contem-
plates the conversion of the Cheyenne
bottoms into a lake of approximately
sixty square miles in area, from which
water will be drawn for the irrigation Of
10000 acres Of land Immediately tribu-
tary. It's capacity can be increased to
provide water for $1,000 acres in addition
The value OF such an irrigation enter
prise for western Kansas is beyond COM
putation.
kansas interests are not wholly in
agricultural lines. She will always be
leader in her contributions to the agri-
cultural products of this country. but she
is destined. by virtue Of her resources,
10 become Just as great in her manu-
featuring industries. The Santa Fe is
using and will continue to use. every
opportunity and effort to advance her in
terests toward that end"

SHE WROTE POSTAL CARDS

Mrs. Alice Lane OF Mcpherson was
brought here under arrest last night by
Deputy Marshal Trigg and put in jail for
sending postal cards through the mails
with Objectionable matter written on
them. This makes two women federal pri-
soners in jail here now for sending impro-
per matter through the mails.
Mrs. Lane last year lived on a farm
In the country near Lyons. Kansas. For
some reason her neighbors came to the
conclusion that her character was objec-
tionable and fell % work to devise some
means Of getting rid Of her. Eight men
she claims called at her house one night
about midnight and told her she would
be given three days to get out OF the
money but left at once and went to Nc
Pherson county.
From Mcpherson shs wrote notes on
postal cards to each OF the eight citizens
