Australian Ballot Bill Taken Up Again
by the House.

Australian Ballot Bill Taken Up Again
by the House.
Atlanta, July 12.-The Australian
ballot bill was again taken up in the
committee of the whole in the house OF
representatives yesterday and sections
Nos. 8, 9, 10, IL, IL and 13 passed af
ter a few attempts were made to in
troduce amendments Only few
unimportant changes were made in the
sections as amended.
There was a lively tilt between Mr..
Tigner, of Muscogee, and Mr. Hawes,
of Elbert, and the dispute waxed so
warm that the chairman had to rap for
order several times. Mr.. Hawes de-
clared that the attempt to reform the
ballot system was fraud upon the
face Of it,
Before the election bill was taken up
the house had very lively hour when
the committee on rules presented re-
port making a number of bills spe.
cial order. There has been a very
determined effort on the part of sew
ON rules put down too many bills for
special consideration. 1t is claimed
that the special order if carried too far
will sidetarck a number of important
measures. The committee on rules,
on the other hand, says it will expe-
dite matters if certain bills are dis.
posed of at once.
When the house convened yesterday
morning the committee on rules made
a report in which eight bills were set
down for a special order Immediately
after the election bill had been dis
posed of These bills were to exempt
church property from taxation; to I'M
crease the governors salary; to rotate
the superior court judges; to increase
salaries of superior and supreme court
judges; to establish court of ap.
peals; to define the jurisdiction Of the
supreme court; to call constitution
al convention, and to allow all counties
to consolidate certain offices. The re-
port also changed the hour Of the
session from 10 to 9 o'clock in the
morning.
The session of the senate yesterday
was signalized by the passage of two
important general bills, one providing
for an increase in the AMOUNT to be
loaned to the school fund and the
other providing that pensions OF de-
ceased veterans shall be paid to the
ordinaries of their respective counties,
Senator Snead, of the twenty-ninth,
wants Mamie DeCris pardoned by the
governor, and introduced joint res
Olution to that effect Several other
interesting bills and resolutions made
their appearance, one of these being
by Senator Jordan, OF the twenty
eighth, providing for an investigation
into the status of tuberculosis in the
state of Georgia; another by Senator
Ledford to regulate the sale OF domes'
tic wines in the state, and another by
Senator Matthews to provide for de
partment of immigration.
The senate was in session about an
hour, after which it went into execu'
tive session in order to act on the
apIointments sent in by Governor Ter
rell on Friday. These were all con
| ficmed.

Against Floods.

CUSTOMS OFFICIALS
MAKE DISCOVERY
New and Ingenious Method of
Smuggling Unearthed.
HOW INSPECTORS ARE FOOLED.
Notwithstanding the Argus-Eyed EN-.

Methods and Devices for Avoiding

New York, July 12.-Behind the ar
rest OF the wireless telegraph opera.
tor and a hospital steward employed
on one Of the largest transatlantic
steamers charged with smuggling su,
matra tobacco, the customs officials
claim to have unearthed a new and
ingenious method of smuggling dia.

chandise which should pay hfgb

as passengers baggage, upon which

properly examined and passed by the
inspectors is the method

which the conspirators arranged to
smuggle into the United States are.

In use, marked with a private mark
and placed with hundreds of other
trunks owned by passengers. On ar
rival at this port the confederates of
the smugglers on board the ship were
IN position to reach the baggage and
upon the trunks of the smugglers past
ed the special label indicating that an
Inspector had examined the contents
of the trunk and found nothing duti-
able therein. When the customs Of
fcta1s came across a trunk with such
a label on it-they passed on.
How far the ramifcations and ex.
tent Of this new scheme have gone,
has not yet been determined. The ex-
posure was premature and was prac-
tically forced upon the customs men,
who were working on and waiting for
bigger game. They were compelled
to take action through the wrong adj
dress placed on a trunk, found later
to contain leaf tobacco intended for
a manufacturer of cigars in Brooklyn.
The duty on the leaf of which there is

Lying at Dock.
Philadelphia July 1.-THE steam
ship San Jacinto, of the Mallory line,
was practically destroyed by fire today
while lying at Roaeh's shipyards, at
Chester, Pa, where she was laid up
for repairs.
The vessel was built year ago
at a cost of $500,000
The fire originated in a room used
for storing oil and varnish, and had
gained much headway before the ar
rival of the fire engines that the fire
men divided their attention between
the big vessel and the property OF
the shipbuilding company, adjacent to
the dock.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

Just take your choice. An attack of Fever,
with Quinine as the treatment means
week or ten days lost from Business,
1t means ten days of unhappiness for you
and ten days OF hard work and anxiety for
those who love you. If you are poor man,
your time is worth much to your family.
The rich man might better afford tot suffer
loss'Of of $4,000 day, as result from
enforced absence from business, than the
poor man can lose the value of his labor.
JohnsOn's Tonic has two cardinal points that
should Immediately commend it to every
thinking man i'm this country.
First of all, it is harmless. Absolutely
harmless. Harmless under all Circum-
stances.
Second it is quick; it acts at once. In 80
minutes after it's administration, it enters
the blood and begins to undo the mischief
caused by Malaria. 1t is the one great med
iclne that never disappoints Now take
your choice. Lie in bed for days, maybe
weeks; and poison your digestion with Qu-
nine, and arise finally with all the life and
Vim taken out OF you, or use JOhnsOn's Tonic
and be restored at once to perfect health.
No loss of vital force, No loss of flesh, No
waste of precious time. Take your choice.
