THE AMENDMENTS PRESENTED.
Chairman Bell Advocates Imme diate
Adoption of the Bill.


Atlanta, Nov. 27.-The Senate to-
day reconsidered its action of yester-
day and passed the resolution to ad-
journ until Monday. Counting the in
tervening days dies non. When the
House refused TO concur in the resolu-
ton this afternoon, the Senate decided
to adjourn until Monday anyhow, but
the days will not be taken out of the
session.
The constitutional amendment bill
was taken up as the special order, and
Chairman Bell delivered a lengthy ad-
dress relating to it. discussing every
section. AS to placing pensions on an
INDECENT basis. he said financial re-
trenchment is now becoming a neces-
sity. He spoke of the amounts raised
for school and pension purposes. He
referred to the loan of 5000, 900 made by
the Governor this year, the deficit now
confronting the state, the shortage of
100000 to pay pensions, and the large
amount now due the school teachers
of Georgia.
On the amendment to divide the
school fund between white and colored
in proportion to the amount of taxes
paid by each, he was piled with many
questions as 20 the business of the
amendment. and how it was intended
to apportiOn the school fund. Mr.. Bell
explained in answer to all these ques-
tons that the fund would be distrib-
uted in the same per cent. that the
two races pay taxes into the state.
Under the present condition the ne
groes pay .229 per cent of all the taxes
paid into the state; they would then
receive 2.29 per cent. of the total
school fund. which would amount to
about $4,000 They now received in
round numbers $3.50. 900. Mr.. Bell closed
his argument of 'the bill to the effect
that the senators leave the matter to
the people, since it would finally go
before the state for a final decision. He
begged the senator's to vote for the
amendments without discussing par
tlcularly the other remaining amend
ments.
The constitutional amendments bill
was made the continuing special order
at the conclusion of Mr.. Bells argu
ment, and willsbe taken up again Mon
day.

BROKE OUT OF JAIL.
Horse Thief Breaks Bars and Rides
Away to Liberty.


Bainbridge. Ga, Nov. 27.-Ed Her
rington, white, who was convicted of
horse stealing at the last term of the
Superior Court and sentenced to seven
years in the penitentiary, escaped from
the Jail last night He was in the front
room of the jail up stairs. The windows
were only secured by upright and cross
iron bars, half an inch thick and three
inches apart. He sawed through two
of these and bent them so as to make
an opening about 8 by IL inches and
made rope out of a blanket and let
himself down to the ground. He then
escaped over the Jail wall by the means
of plank which happened to be lying
in the yard. Right across the street
from the Jail is the city laundry, and
they keep their delivery horse in a
stable in the yard. The prisoner had
undoubtedly noticed this, for he went
right across the street and secured the
horse and escaped. While he was
scrambling down the sides of the Jail,
the wife of the ja.iler discovered him
and raised an alarm, but before help
could get there he was gone.
There was another man in the cell
with him, charged with cotton steal
ing, but as he had not been tried and
claimed to be innocent. he did not
leave, but he Kept quiet while Her.
rington was leaving and did not try
to prevent him from escaping. AS soon
as possible several deputies went in
pursuit of the escaped prisoner, but
up to this writing 1t has not been
learned whether or no they have struck
his track. Harrington is about 35 years
old. 1t is supposed he crossed the river
and probably went in q southweSterly
direction towards Florida.

GUERRY FAV0Rs WRIGHT BILL
SENATE DECEDEs FROM ELLIS
AMENDMENT.

Any County Now Has Privilege TO
Vote on QuestiOn-HOn. Dupont
Guerry Writes MIR. Wright, Not
Because He Is in Favor of Dispcn-
saries, but in Order That People
of Prohibition Counties May Pre-
vent Dispensaries Being Forced
Upon Them.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 27.-Contrary to
the general supposition the dispensary
bill by Mr.. Wright of Floyd was
strongly favored by Hon. Dupont
Query, the prohibition candidate for
Governor. A conference committee on
the measure was named to-day by res
olution of both houses, and after con-
sideration the Senate receded from the
Ellis amendment, which declared the
bill should not affect dispensaries al
ready established or local liquor regu-
lations in any county.
This amendment having been killed
the bill now goes to the Governor for
his signature. Before urging the meas
'ure in the House Mr.. Wright submit
ted a copy of it to Mr.. Guerry, who
took 1t home for consideration. Suisse
quently Mr. Query wrote Mr.. Wright
a letter favoring the measure, in part
as follows:
"I would like to see passed your bill
amending the local option law SO as
to allow vote by the people of the
counties on the question of dispense
les, not for the purpose of enabling
them to procure dispensaries, but sole
ly for the purpose of enabling them to
defeat them. AS matters now stand,
dispensarics are now being forced on
the people of different prohibition
counties without allowing them to be
heard, and a general bill like yours,
when it becomes a law, will prevent
any fither local legislation of this
sort. as it would then be unconstitu-
tional"
Gov. Gambler is receiving numerous
petitions from the Georgia Womens
Christian Temperance Union urging
him to veto the measure. 1t is believed,
however, he will sign the bill in the
interests Of harmony
