The directors of the West HamIin

their butter maker for the coming
year as John Nielsen, who has been
with them for five years this Novem-
Der, had resigned and will cd onto the
farm. During the time j ohm was
there he has paved out annually over
$25, 1000 to the patrons and has always
given the best of satisfaction and
work to the patrons. The new man
comes with the best Of references and
with nine years experience. He has
been in this country only about six
months, but will doubtless give salts

The house and goods of Rasmus
Jacobsen, about mile and half west
of Elkhorn, were entirely destroyed
by fire last Saturday, the cause Of the
fire not being known. 1t seemed to
have been originated in their shed
kitchen and his wife not being at
work in it did not discover it until
too late to do any good. He was
working in the field and hurried
home as soon as he discovered any
thing wrong, but he too was too late.
He had it insured in the Danish
Mutual, and will get his full
insurance, which is less however than
it was worth. 1t was 5000 on the

WANTS DRUNKENNESS
MADE A MISDEMEAN0R

II the house ratifies the action of the
senate Tuesday it will hereafter be mis-
demeanor to get drunk on the public
highways and byways and those who be-
come intoxicated and who are so unfor-
tunate as to get arrested or indicted for
that offense will have to suffer the conse-
quences. The senate passed the bill by
Senator Sweat to make it misdemeanor
to get drunk in public places with an
Amendment by Senator Perry that the
provisions should not apply to cities and
towns having police protection.
The bill brought on a spirited discussion.
Senator Tisenger was the first man to
oppose the measure. He said that some of
the best men in the state were addicted
ence sometimes became disorderly to
more or less extent. He said to pass the
bill would make a man convicted of being
drunk or disorderly guilty of an offense
against the laws of the state and in con-
city because the state law would have
precedence.
Senator Perry said that a man who be-
came intoxicated and disorderly should be
handled severely. He said that the Of
fender had no one to blame but himself
for getting in an intoxicated condition.
Senator Tisenger secured the floor again
and made a lengthy argument against the
bill. The previous question was called, and
the bill was, passed by vote of % to 8.
Those voting In favor of the measure were
Allen, Atkinson, Clarke, Clements, Co
ans, Duncan, Golden. Harrell, Hopkins.
Jordan, Lee, Ledford Mcclure Mclean,

McMichael, Merritt, Moore, Perry, Sweat,
Symons, Taylor, Van Buren,. Those voting
against the bill were Crumley, Davis,
Worsham.
Several senate and house bills were af-
forwards passed by the senate. The bills
are:
BY Mr.. Comas-To change the number
of qualified voters necessary to call an
election under the local option laws.
BY Mr.. Comas-To enlarge the powers of
the railroad commission Of the state.
BY Mr.. Lee--To provide for the protec-
ton of wardents in convict camps.
BY Mr.. Perry-To require the defend
ants in all cases of common law to set
forth answer in paragraphs.

a board of police commissioners for Au-
gusta.

sale of cocaine unless prescription for
same is presented.
BY Mr.. McHenry of F1oyd-To amend

FRANCHISE TAX is
PASSED BY. THE
HOUSE
BITTER FIGHT is WAGED ON DE-
cIsIoN OF SPEAKER MORRIS
TO RULE OUT THE
SUBSTITUTE.

Following the reading of the house jour
nal and call of the roll of the members,
reports of standing committees, several
in number, were introduced and read.
The most important Of the bills favor
ably reported was the senate bill providing
for summer sessions of the house and the
senate. The bill had been referred to
the general judiciary committee and was
by them favorably reported. The bill
provides that the sessions of the general
assembly shall begin on the fourth We'd
nesday in June. instead of the fourth We'd
nesday i'm October, as is now the GUST N.
Following this Speaker Morris an
nounced that the special order of the day
was the franchise tax bill by Mr.. Reid, of
Campbell, which provided for the payment
of taxes on all franchises and to which
Mr.. Gambler, of DeKalb, had introduced
substitute more fully describing the
special franchises to be taxed.
The franchise bill of Mr.. Reid was then
taken up and Mr.. Fielder, of Bibb, intro
duced a resolution that all debate on the
tax franchise bill should be limited to ten
minutes.
The tax franchise bill of Mr.. Reid and
the substitute of Mr.. Gambler were both
read, and Mr. Cam, Of Chatham, arose to
a point of order
He read the captions of the bill and
the substitute and argued THAI the COM
mittee should not have favorably report
ed the substitute, as it was different in
caption and body from the original bill,
and that the substitute was therefore
not german to the original BILL
Mr.. Gambler of DeKalb, said the subject
matter of both the original bill and the
substitute dealt with the taxation of
franchises and that the substitute was
therefore german to the original He
said the substitute was only the original
bill made more plain and simplihed. He
said the same question had come up in
the committee and had been declared
german.
Mr.. Slaton. of Fulton, also fought the
substitute. He said that the constitution
of the state provided that no bill to
raise revenues could be introduced in the
senate. The original bill, introduced by
Mr.. Reid. of Campbell, was an amend
ment to the code, and could be introduced
in the senate, while the substitute did
not amend the code and was revenue
bill which could not originate in the SEN
ate. He contended that he favored the
franchise tax law but that the substitute
would be dangerous on account of the
fact that It was not in accordance with
the regular procedure of the house.
Mr.. George, of Morgan, said that in re-
plying to the point of order of Mr.. Cam,
of Chatham, he felt that he must first
apologize to the intelligence Of the speak
er, for the speaker would certainly rule
