Coughing Spell Caused Death.

Harry Duckwell, aged 25 years,
choked to death early yesterday
morning at his home in the presence
OF his wife and child. He contracted
sight cold few days ago and paid
but little attention to it. Yesterday
morning he was seized with a fit OF
coughing which continued for some
time. His wife sent for a physician,
but before he could arrive, another
coughing spell came on and Duck

Of horrid memory-took him away to

some increase, and as there was some
opposition to the larger amount, all of
these speakers urged the adoption of
the $4,000 amendment.
The House then adopted this amend
ment and passed the bill. Those voting
against the measure being Messrs.
Glenn, Hutchinson. Kelly, Jones of
Pickens, Rice, Roper. Underwood.
Walker of Pierce and Whitley. 1t is
SAID 1t will be possible to amend the
measure i'm the Senate so as to make it
carry $4,000, and that this amendment
can be passed by a majority vote of
the House when it comes up for action
IN case such an amendment should be
adopted. There has been no talk on
this line, nevertheless it is one of the
possibilities in connection with the
matter.
MIR. Hall Still Fighting.
The House spent practically the en-
tire day on the general appropria tions
BILL the features of the discussion be-
ing the defeat of the efforts to reduce
the appropriations to the State SAM
tarium and to the chronological
School.
The first question up was as to
whether the Legislative Visiting Com
mittee should visit state institutions
during the sessions or during vacation
The vacation advocates lost out and
the plan remains as at present
The Academy for the Blind at Ma
con was given $4,000, and the School
for the Deaf at Cave Springs $4,000,
the former being the same as last year,
and the latter an increase of $4,000. Mr..
Hall of Bibb renewed his fight to cut
the appropriation to the State Santa
rum, offering an amendment to reduce
1t from $3.50 900, as fixed by the commit
tee, to 1910, 900.
Full Appropriation Given.
II am perfectly satisfied that $780,
900 is enough Mr.. Hall said, but for
fear of making mistake I am will
ing to concede $4,000 more" Mr..
Howard of Baldwin conducted the
tight for the full appropriation asked,
and he had the able assistance of sew
eral other members. The vote was
not taken until the afternoon session,
when the full appropriation of $3.50, 900
was given by a large majority.
Two years ago the House gave only
100000, and it was the Senate that
| increased it to 1926, 900.
The next big fight was made on the
appropriation of 900 for the MAIN
tenance of the archaeological school.
Mr.. Rankin of Gordon wanted to cut
it to $4,000 on the ground that the
INSTITUTION Is now Iully equipped with
machinery and don't need so much
money.
Mr.. Slaton. of Fulton, Mr.. Hall of
Bibb and others contended that the
Tech was doing more for Georgia than
! any other institution, and their APP
peals won the day. The House left
the amount $4,000, which is the same
as it has had for the last two years.

GOVERNOR AND JUDGE CANN
HAD THEIR SALARIES RAISED
Judge Cam Got $4,000 More, and Gov. Terrell
Only 81 900 More.

Atlanta. July 28.-Folowing it's ac-
ton in passing the bill increasing the
Governors salary from $4,000 to $4,000.
the House to-day passed by vote of
$50 to 2, the bill by Messrs. Cam, Sto-
vail and Harden Of Chatham, provid-
ing for an increase from 81, 900 to S., 900
in the salary of the judge of the Supe-
rior Court for the Eastern Circuit, the
difference in amount to be paid out of
the treasury of Chatham county, the
only county in the circuit.
This bill providing for an increase of
the salary of state official also had to
receive a two-thirds majority in order
to be passed, and for this reason it was
taken UP right after the Governor
salary had been acted on.
Mr.. Stovall explained the provisions
of the measure, showing that it affects
only Chatham county The lawyers
there had all approved the bill, he said,
and the people are in favor of it. 1t
was simply a request from Chatham
county for permission to be allowed to
supplement the salary of the judge of
the Superior Court by paying the diff
ference out OF it's own treasury. The
bill could not affect any other county
in the state.
Two Voted Against Bill.
Only two members voted against the
bill, Messrs. Hall of Bibb and Rich
ardson of Houston. Mr.. Hall stated
he voted no because he thought the
measure was unconstitutional. The
bill was sent at once to the Senate.
By accepting an amendment making
an increase of only $1,000 in the Gov
ernor's salary. instead of $1,000. the
advocates of the bill succeeded, in get
ting it through the House to-day prac-
tically without opposition, the vote be-
ng 1873 to 9.
Early in the session the House adopt
ed a resolution reported by the Com
mittee on Rules fixing the Governor s
salary bill as a special order for u
o'clock noon. A vote to be taken with
in ten minutes after the bill had been
read. In accordance with this reso-
luton it was taken up at that hour.
and Mr.. Knight of Berrien offered an
amendment to strike out $1,000 and put
in the figures $4,000 instead.
Mr.. Cam of Chatham, Mr. Mitchell
of Thomas, Mr.. Flint of Spalding, Mr.
west OF kOWndeS, Mr.. SlatOn or Full
ton and Mr.. Leigh of Coweta all made
brief speeches. in which they stated
they favored giving the Governor a
salary of $1,000. and still believed he
should have that salary. Nevertheless
in the interests of harmony they
thought it better to adopt the amend
ment making the amount $4,000.
Vote Was a Compromise.
There was no doubt that good ma
jority desired the increase to $4,000,
but it was considered that the House
was practically unanimous in favor of
