SUCCESSFUL OPERATION IS
PERFORMED UPON PITTRGA
Bullet is Extracted from Body Of
Man who Recently Attempted
to Commit Suicide.

A successful operation was
last Thursday performed upon
Norman Pittman, the man who
on Thanksgiving night shot him
self with suicidal intent at a
point near the corner of College
and Eleventh streets. The op-
Grafton took place at the Column
bus Hospital. having been per-
formed by Dr. W. C. Brewer,
who has been in charge of the
case ever since the accident.
The operation was rather Sc
rious in its nature. The bullet
had passed through Pittman's
body, having lodged near the
left shoulder, and this fact made
the task of locating and recover
ing it an exceedingly difficult
one. Dr. Brewer however, is
an experienced surgeon, and per-
formed the operation without
any assistance except that given
by the regular hospital nurses.
Pittman is practically out Of
danger, and unless unexpected
complications develop his recOv-
cry is assured.

parsonage on North Third ave-
nue., which was formerly occu-
pied by Rev. ]. E. Thomas, who
has been presiding elder during

ed in that city adopted resolu-
tions complimenting him upon
his work there and wishing him
every success in his new field.
He and his family will be cordi-
ally welcomed to Columt u3, and

BLUNDER BEATS
BILL CREATING
GAMBLER
House Advocates of New County
Apply Gag Rule and Get Re-
taIiation-Vote 80 to 80.

Gambler County, after the first gen
timely spectacular fight of the session.
was defeated on the floor Of the House
to-day by a vote Of SO to so.
Undoubtedly the advocates Of the
measure were largely responsible for
this unexpected turn Of affairs. They
called for the previous question under
the rules. Being sustained by the
House, the call shut off all debat e,
save in favor of the new county.
Then the enemies Of the bill raised
the cry Of gag rule" and this ad-
vantage was pressed to Gamblers I'M
doing.
As member after member explained
he had intended voting for the new
county, but would not now in view
of the fact that debate had been shut
off, il soon became apparent that Can
der was marked for slaughter.
Defeat Is Thorough.
Being a constitutional amendment,
IT required a two-thirds vote. II
failed to receive even a constitutional
ma jority
Realizing that a tactical blunder
mad been made, the advocates OF the
measure endeavored to reconsider the
call of the previous question and per-
nit both sides to debate the question.
but under the rules Of the House the
Speaker was oowerless to give either
side any aid or comfort in that direc-
ton.
There was nothing to it but the roll
call And that settled Gambler.
During the debate much bitterness
was evidenced now and then upon the
part of members both for and against
the measure.
Gag rule" was vehemently charged
by one side, only to be as vehemently
denied by the other.
Reconsideration To Be Moved.
After the vote had been declared
Mr. Wohlwender, of Muscogee, gave
notice of a move to reconsider the
measure, and it doubtless will be re-
considered by the House. In that
event it is not likely that Gambler
will come up again this session.
Mr. Wohlwender, who moved the
previous question, took exception to a
remark made by Mr.. Wheatley, Of
Sumter who, in explaining his vote,
referred to Mr.. Wohlwender, so the
gentleman from Muscogee thought, as
a chicken thief"
Arising to a question OF personal
privilege after the vote had been de.
clared, Mr.. Whtatley said that he had
not meant to say that Wohlwender
was "a chicken thief" as he did not
think he was at all!
