Are Adopted.

amendments to the state constitution
Senator Hiram P. Bell, of the thirty
ninth district said it was the lnten-
tion of the committee to make the
terms of all state house officers, as wen
as the governor, four instead OF two
wears. He declared that all OF the
nroposed amendments, t adopted
would save the state at least $5OO,OOO

During the debate Mr.. Boynton, OF

ARGUEE THE MINDER CASE.
Georgia Attorneys Given Prefer
ence Over Carter Case.

Attorney General Terrell and John
r. Cooper have argued the case of
Minder, the Macon tailor now under
sentence of death, before the supreme
court in Washington, the case being
advanced ahead of the Carter case al
the instance of the Georgia attorneys.
There is no intimation when a decis-
ion in the case will be rendered.
The case involves the question
whether Minder was not deprived of a
constitutional right guaranteed by the
fourteenth amendment in that, owing
to the absence of state law, he was
unable to secure the attendance OF i'm
portant nonresident witnesses or to
obtain their dispositions.

Beers TO GET LIBERAL TERMS.
England Trying TO Find Way to Turn
Lose.

The British government has let it be
known that it is ready to grant liberal
terms to the Beers. This has not been
done officiallyt yet, but there does not
seem to be any DOUBT that it has been
done, and there has not come single
protest from any source. That Is taken
as an indication that the British peo-
pl, are heartily tired of the war and
are willing that peace shall be made
on terms much more liberal to the
Beers than they would have consented
to a year and half ago.
There is expectation that there will
be a statement made sometime this
this week of the terms Great Britain Is
willing to grant the Beers. 1t as ex-
pected that it will be made by Mr..
Chamberlain. 1t is known that the
King is extremely anxious that there
shall be peace in all parts of the en-
pire during the year of his coronation.
1t is apparent therefore that the ef-
forts in the direction of peace will
have to be rather urgent if anything
is accomplished this year.

How a Indiana Postmaster Set
tied Account With Uncle Sam.

Owing to the unaccountable delay IN
RENTING, the postal authorities few
DAYS ago asked John w. Bonner, post
master at Elizabethtown, Ind, for a
settlement. Later the postmaster
general received both money and an
explanation. The smoney was in
stout canvas sack, which came by ex-
press.
Acting Postmaster-Gen era! Johnson
"helfted" the sack. 1t wss about all
he could lift. In it he found only PEN
MES. Mr.. Bonner wrote that there
were 3, 100 of them, the amount due.
He explained that he had not sent
them sooner because it would cost the
government just as much to have 3, 100
transported as $500, 5000, as the ex-
press company would not make rate
for the exact weight of the 3,100.
Mr.. johnson will turn the pennies
over to the third assistant postmaster
general. That official will, with great
ceremony, deliver them to some one in
the treasury department. After many
yards of red tape have been unwound
and many transfers made the pennies
will get to Treasurer Roberts. Then
Postmaster Bonner will receive a re-
ceipt, likewise reprimand from the
department for employing such an I'M
IL 3ual method of settling his account.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY CANNOT GET THROUGH
Body Will Probably Its Work Than
Any Other Legislature Business Transacted Could Be
Printed One Thousand Words.

The work done by the legislature
! this year could be printed almost in L.
900 words. The session is remarkable
for the little work that has been done.
1t is remarkable for nothing else.
There have been adjournments when
adjournments were not necessary
Time has been killed when the killing
resulted in loss of money to the
state: many members have been alb
sent from day to day and on that ac-
count important bills could not be
be place on their passage.
Now night sessions are to be held in
addition to the sessions of the morning
and afternoon. The afternoon sessions,
however, aresdoing very little good, as
there are scarcely any members on
hand, and at night when tbestheatres
are running in full blast the solons
had raUhor attend them than to look
after the business in the house. Real
ly it is pretty state of affairs.
The Charleston Exposition has open
ed aud there is no Georgia exhibit on
hand. State Geologist Yeates, who
has the matter of placing an exhibit
in charge, is much worried. His exhib-
it that was shipped from Buffalo has
been lost. He cannot find it anywhere.
He has been keepidg the wires hot for
several days, but as yet the railroads
haven't succeeded in finding his two
cars of Georgia resources. He has
packed up few things from the state
museum lin the capitol and shipped
them to Charleston.

An Atlanta special SAYS that the legs


islature will not get half through with
the bills which are now on the calander
81 foregone conclusion. The present
house and senate will probably be
further behind in it's work than any
other legislature. Members VITO have
had important local bills on the calen-
der for several weeks are getting mad.
Members who introduced important
general bills and who have so far been
unable to get them up are madden.
Senators are raising a howl because
the house will not consider their bills
and mem bers of the house are doing
the same thing because the senator's
have lost interest in house measurers.
The house actually worked some yes
terday, but then there was such a
small attendance that very little gen
eral Legislation could be taken up.
There was no session of the house Sat
urday, and Friday it was necessary to
adjourn because there was but ninety
two legislators on hand.
And with all this some of the mem
bers of the house are going to stand
for reelection and some of them are
going to run for the senate.
When the next primary rolls around
those journals will be in big demand,
and the names of the absent members
will be looked up, and perhaps sOne of
the constituents of these members are
going to inquire why the absences are
chalked up.

LEGISLATURE REFUSES
TO HELP GOVERNOR.
VOTES DOWN RESOLUTION LOOKING
TO FINANCIAL RELIEF.
Governor Gambler will Be Forced to
Veto Appropriations Unless Sit
uati0n Is Remedied.

Governor Gambler sent a message to
the general assembly in which he
asked that body to pass the Bla-
lock resolution providing that the in
terest on the public debt be paid out of
the public property fund.
The yearly interest on the public
debt is 1926, 1000. The state is now face
to face with deficiency of 100000.
If the 1925, 900 is paid from the public
! property fund it will save the amount
to the general fund of the treasury
out of which regular appropriations
are paid.
Owing to the deficiency now existing
there is not enough money in the
treasury, and will not be under the
levy of taxes for 1901, to pay The ap.
preparation made by the Legislature.
The resolution was taken up in the
house the day after the governor
message, and was killed by vote of
rs for and "a against. The killing of
of the resolution means. according to.
Governor Gambler and Representative
Blalock, that no appropriations which
have been made by the legislature can
be paid, and that the school teachers
of the state, who have been sufferers
for years and years, will again have to
go without pay.
Thu do a fa m tho ppcnlutinn ooa,.
pied the entire morning in the house.
Many speeches were made for and
against the resolution, and for time
it was thought that the resolution
would receive the necessary majority
of S3 votes. But the members, at
least some OF them, changed their
agree to the adoption of the report of
the committee of the whole house the
vote was rs to "a against the favorable
report, the resolution was lost. Ma
ior Gary, of Richmond, Representa-
tive Reid of Campbell, and Mr.. Bla-
lock, the author, spoke in favor of the
bill. Seaborn Wright, Mr.. Copeland
of Walker, and Whitchard, of Terrell,
and Others spoke against the adop-
ton of the resolution. During the ar
gument on the resolution letter from
former Chief Justice l.. K. Bleckley to
one of the members of the house, which
letter stated that the resolution was
-,
Governor Gambler, when seen
after the resolution had been
killed, said I: II do not see how the
members of the ;house expect to pay
the appropriation they have already
made since they have killed this reso-
luton"
Mr.. A. O. Blalock, the author of the
bill, said: "The killing of this resolu-
tion means that the school teachers of
Georgia will not receive any'money for
the next year. The treasury is with
out funds and the passing OF this meas
ure wouldIhave relieved the situation.
Some of the members of Ithe shouse
are in favor of increasing the taxes
of the state to make up for deficiency.
The question of financial relief and
retrenchment is now the most import
ant before the general assembly.
