GAMBLER CONGRATULATED.
Many Approve of Governors Veto.
He Replies to Mr.. Wright-Bin
May Be Passed Over the Veto.

Atlanta, Dec. Gov. Gamblers mail
was deluged with letters to-day con-
graduating him for vetoing the dis
pensary bill. He received a dozen tele-
grams and more than 100 letters
Among them was one from Sam
Jones urging him to veto the bill.
Mr.. Jones said he had first given his
support to the measure under a misap-
prehension.
The Senate sent for the veto mes
sage to-day, and it is believed that a
strong effort will be made to pass the
bill over the Governors veto.
Speaking to-day of Hon Seaborn
Wright's attack on him, Gov. Gambler
said:
1T is unfortunate that Mr.. Wright
lost his temper. Personal abuse is not
argument. and only betrays the weak
ness of his position. Our constitution
wisely or unwisely clothes the exec
utive with the veto power. 1t wisely
provides a way in which the General
Assembly may nullify the veto when
unWisely exercised. This is Mr.
Wrights remedy. Let him apply it
and he will hear no whine from me. -
Gov. Gambler concludes with the
statement that the veto is indorsed by
the overwhelming majority of the
temperance men in the state, and
says:
"Ninety-five per cent. OF the stacks
of letters I have received from these
classes urged me to veto the bill. Nine
ty-five per cent. of those who asked
me to approve it were liquor dealers. -

the same house, and she dined with
him at restaurant. She went by the
name of Jessie Baker and told him
that she was from Elizabeth City, and
on her way to Baltimore, where she
would visit for six or eight weeks and
possibly go to Pennsylvania. There
is a Miss Jessie Baker living in Eliza
beth City who bears somewhat of a
resemblance to, end who was a friend
of Nellie Cropsey. Miss Baker, how
ever, has not been away from home.
Kelly spent the major part of the day
with the girl and saw her board the
Baltimore steamer that evening. She
was alone and with no bag

Washington, Dec. 7.-Senator Quay.
who has been in very poor health for
some time past, leaves tomorrow for
Florida, with the hope that a COM
plete change of climate will prove ben
efieial. He has been a sufferer from
a distressing throat trouble for many
months, which refuses to yield to treat
ment from some of the best special
lists here and in Philadelphia. 1t Is
feared that his lungs may be slightly
affected, and as a result of a recent
consultation between DR.. Richardson,
a specialist, and DR. w. w. Johnson
of this city, the senator has been add
vised to seek a balmy retreat in Flor
ida. He will go to his plantation on
the Indian river and remain there for
several weeks. If he is not benefited
there he will go TO Arizona or New
Mexico. While the senator's condition
is not alarming it is regarded by his
physicians as serious enough to justify
an immediate change of climate and
absolute rest from all business cares.
