THEY CROWD STORE

Standing room only, and but
little of that, was to be had last
Tuesday when the demonstration
Of the Free sewing machine was
held at Fassett's Department store.
AS previously advertised, on
that date the Free company would
give away one of their splendid
machines to the person holding a
coupon bearing number cor
responding to one which should be
drawn from a box. On the ap-
pointed day all streets and avenues
apparently led to the big store on
the corner, and by the time set for
the demonstration, a fair majority
of the home keepers Of Monte Vista
were on hand.
The leading features Of the Free
machine were set forth by rep
resentative Of the company who
had been in the business good
many years and knows the strong
points of a sewing machine. Ex-
elusive features of the Free were
shown the interested ladies present,
and at the conclusion, the drawing
was accomplished by child choos-
ing number from the box. Its
duplicate was held by Mrs. Kate
Williams, who according to agree
ment, went to the platform and
acknowledged the present by cheer
ing for Mr.. Free after whom the
machine is named.

SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEvIN.

Considerable uncertainty exists in the
lay mind. at least, as to just exactly
what will constitute a two-thirds ma
jority Of the house and senate, in the
event Of an executive veto Of the Tip
pins bill, and a subsequent effort to
pass T. Notwithstanding.
In the congress Of the United States,
precedent and practice holds that
two thirds vote Of quorum ma
jority of the elected memberships
sufficient within the meaning Of the
law to override veto That practice
is followed in legislatures generally, but
it is by no means certain that practice
and precedent in the Georgia legisla-
lures will sustain such a view of the
rules.
The actual rules themselves ara
vague and uncertain. In reference to
two-thirds vote in one place, the house
rules merely prescribe a "two-thirds
vote of the house" in another place.
they refer to "two-thirds vote of the
elected membership" The constitution
itself leaves the meaning Of the re-
curing it a question of construction
largely.
The ruling followed in the house of
congress whereby two thirds of quo
rum voting is held to come within the
meaning of the two-thirds prescribed,
has been passed upon and upheld by
the supreme court of the United States.
hence would seem to be fairly well es-
tablshed there.
The objection to that view Is that
less than one third of the elected house
might, under its operation, block the
passage of a measur over the execu-
tive vote, for one third Of a mere quo
rum necessarily would be less than
one third of the house in its entirety.
It likely will be held that it requires
two thirds Of the entire house member
ship to overcome a veto in Georgia
that is to say, 1913 votes in the house.
The fact that Tom Watson will
support Woodrow Wilson seems to
hurt in some quarters nightly,
Still, that is not the real reason
Tom will support him, perhaps.
Speaking of the governors forthcom-
ing veto of the Tippins bill, who knows,
really, that the governor will veto It?
The governor says nobody nows what
he is going to do about it-not even
Mrs. Governor.
One of the governors warm partisans
says-but he withholds permission to
use his name. and admits that he
speaks without authority. anyway
that the governor likely will not veto
it, if it comes to him with a clear two
thirds vote of both houses behind it.
This man says the governor will take
the position, in that event, that his veto
win already have been presumptively
overcome. and that TO interpose 1t
would be the mere arbitrary use of
power to an inconsequential end.
AS the law seems sure to pass the
senate by an easy wo-thirds, and as it
already passed the house by a sub
