upon them has been generally favor

The late Legislature went Thoroughly
into the matter of revising the bun
glesome laws under which the militia
had been handled for many years, and
in many ways effectively improved
them.
AS the laws now stand, the governor
is unhampered in his handling of the
troops, when, in his judgment, it be-
comes necessary to call them out and
his militay representatives on the scene
of action are vested with authority to
preserve the peace. without recourse to
red tape or cumbersome methods of
procedure
The military authorities are much
gratified, even though some regrettable
circumstances attended the handling of
the rtotous situation In Augusta. with

Congratulations being very much in

with them. He enjoyed a large meas

be proposed lin the next Georgia legis-
lature, there already is manifest hos

Barrow county, with Winder as the
county seat of all the new counties

Members elect of the new legislature
seem to feel, so far as those who have
expressed themselves around and

concerned. that the time to call a halt

that the halt will be called.

Overthrow of the Liberals Threatened unless

Drops Home Rule Bill

London, Nov. 13.-Thc House of
Commons was tho scene Tonight of a
riot over Premier Asduith's proposal
to rescind the action Of Monday, whcn
.: sir Frederick BanburYs amendment,
defeating the most important financial
feature of the home rule bill
The unionists refused to permit the
debate, and the speaker was forced to
adjourn the session on account of tho
disorder. This is an extremely rare
necessity and the situation is con-
sidered a critical one
The unionists almost unanimously
threaten that they will continue 10

sible unless the prime minister accepts
the amendment or drops the home rule
bill. They declare that his action is
unprecedented and will be obstructed
by unprecedented measures. Their OBJ
ject is to force the government to re-
sign.
The uproar far exceeded that which
stifed Premier Asquith's speech when
he introduced the home rule bill, and
