HOUSE ORDERS
NEAR BEER TAX
MEASURE or Mr.. WISE WAS
PASSED BY VOTE OF
SO TO 81.

ATLANTA, Sept. 3.-Two important
measures came up before the house at
Its session OF four hours and half
yesterday. The Perry bill to amend
the constitution of the state So that
the convicts should never be leased
after December 81 1911, was lost, as
it did not receive the constitutional
majority of the members of the house.
The near beer tax measure, introduced
by Mr. Wise. of Fayette, passed by a
vote OF 80 TO 81.
The first thing to come up after
the house convened at 10 o'clock in
the morning was the continuance of
the discussion of the bill introduced by
Mr.. Perry. of Hall, to amend the con-
stitut,on of the state with reference
to the leasing of the convicts Mr..
| Hall, Of Bibb of the minority. and Mr..
| Perry took up most of the time. Mr..
| Hall argued that the bill, if passed,
would have to be voted upon by the
| people at the general election in DC
| tober, and could not be in December,
when the justice of the peace election
| Is held. Mr.. Perry argued that the
people could pass upon the proposed
amendment in December, as the attor-
ney general has so ruled. The bill was
put on its passage, and received 1l6
ayes, and 80 nays AS it failed to re-
| ceive two-thirds of the votes of the
house, that being 122, the bill was
lost Il needed just six more ayes,
The house next took up the bill of
Mr.. wise to place tax Of $500 on the
wholesalers of near beer, and 5000 on
the retailers, and to require the man
ufacturers to place labels on ell of
their bottles. The money accrued
from this was specified to be placed
in the hands of the state to support
its convicts Representative Adams,
of Chatham, mad Dunbar of Richmond
introduced Q substitute to this, making
the tax on the wholesalers $500, and
on the retailers 500.

COMMISSION NOT
TO Be ABOLISHED
VOTE IN THE SENATE WAS VERY
CLOSE, BUT THE BILL TO
ABOLISH WAS LOST.

The senate of Georgia, by vote of
.23 to 10, refused Wednesday to abol-
ish the prison commission of &c r
gia.
At the beginning of the session SEN
ator Steed started the maneuvering
by moving to reconsider the action of
Tuesday, which fixed as the order of
business the consideration and amend
ing of the substitute bills. The mott
was plainly an effort to sidetrack. the
bill of the % senators. In an in
slant Senator Feld2r. the leader for
the forces behind this bill, was on his
feet with a point of order that such
a motion could not be considered I'M
der the rules. The president sustained
the point and Senator Steed sat
down.
Senator Knight made an effort to
correct the chair, but failed
The vote on amendments to the bill
was then in order.
The first amendment offered was
designed by Senator Wilkes to strike
out that section of the bill which
abolishes the prison commission.
The vote showed 10 senators in IA
vor of abolishing the commission and
% in favor of their keeping the jobs.
The senate is, therefore, on record
as refusing to abolish the commission.
Several senators took occasion to
explain their votes in warm speeches,
