EXTRA SESSION OF
THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE

the whiskey element and the prohibit
tionists, and the majority decided
that they could not yield without sac
rifcing their self-respect, principle
and manhood, which they rightfully
refused to do. They were fighting
for a great moral principle and trying
to uphold and foster civic righteous
ness, and to yield to those who were
dominated and controlled by a pow
erful and INSCRIPTIONS influence,
emanating from the great liquor
trust, would be betrayal of the trust
reposed in them by the people of
Georgia, and a surrender of every YES
tige of manhood and self-respect.
1t was choice between an igno-
minious surrender to the naughty
demands of the whiskey ring or an
extra session, and the majority chose
the latter, knowing that was for the
best interests of the state and feeling
sure that the good people of Geor-
gia, who believe in purity of life,
both public and private, would en-
dorse their actions.

sponsible for blocking legislation and
forcing an extra session, the Atlanta
papers to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, and this fact is. clearly shown
by their threats now that if the gov
ernor includes any prohibition meas
ure in his call for an extra session
they would f1libuster and fight the
bills to the bitter end, no matter
what it cost the state.
If the governor. includes the pro-
hibition bills in his call, and he as
sured a number of members he would
do so, the length of the extra session
will depend entirely upon the anti
prohibitionists. If they are willing
to let vote come on the temperance
measures without a filibuster it will
not take ten days to complete all the
work assigned the legislators by the
governor, and I am sure that the ma
iority wing of that body will do all
in their power to facilitate the work
and adjourn at the earliest possible
moment. l.. 5. LEBEI EN-.

bushels. On July 1st there was to-
tai of more than $4,000 cars regis
tered in Kansas, a gain of 10000
since March 18th.
The Iowa dealers say their figures
will top 100000, a total of $1,000
more cars than Iowa registered last
year. New York, naturally, is still
in the lead, with a registration above
100000. Illinois is second with more
than $50, 900, with Ohio trailing very
close. Up to June End Ohio had reg
istered 144, $50 cars, which gave her
good fat margin over Pennsylvania.
Michigan, the home of the bulk of
the industry, is well up in the first
ten states, with a registry of SO, 46O
cars up to July 10th. Indiana re-
ported S1,608 registrations on July
list, and Wisconsin ended her fiscal
year on June Goth with a total of IT,
100 cars. Minnesota had just shade
under Wisconsin, and then came New
Jersey, Missouri and Kansas.
California has certainly been rak-
ing in the auto license fees. Her to-
tai receipts from this source up to
May 18th were $1,749, 1879, which
was more than the half-year receipts
for New York state. Los Angeles
boasts that it is the most motoritic
city in America, with about 10000
cars registered to date for the county.
And so you can go on almost end
lessly with statistics and facts of
cars, cars, and then more cars. The
automobile trade is still an infant in
dustry, though a $1,0O0,0OO,OO0 ba-
by of surprising huskiness. Of small
Ford cars more than 100000 have
been turned out to date, and it is
rumored on fairly good authority that
Henry Ford will keep on making a
few more of them.

AN AUTOMOBILIOUS NATION;

In the Fory-Eight States and the Output Is Rapidly
Approaching Million Machines Year

Two million cars have been regis
tered in our 48 states, and from now
until January 1st thousands of cars a
day will follow into the total, says a
writer in the Philadelphia Evening
Ledger.
The output of motor vehicles, ex-
elusive of trucks and motorcycles. is
rapidly approaching a million a year.
There are enough cars in New York
state to jitney the entire population
of the metropolis across the state of
New Jersey into Philadelphia in two
trips, and if the job were efficiently
handled the entire greater city OF
New York could be emptied within
"a hours.
Our motor car manufacturers are
turning out immense consignments Of
war stuff for Europe as we'll as stag
gering totals of pleasure cars, trucks,
jitneys and so on for the states. They
are also training and developing a
vast army of skilled and unskilled
mechanics.

REV. LEDBETTER PUTS RESPON
SIBILITY ON ANTI-PROHIBI-
TION MINORITY.

There were a great many bills in
troduced, as is always the case, most
of them of local nature, which con-
sumed much of the time of the legis-
lature. A number of general bills Of
great Importance to the state were
introduced, some of which were pass
ed and most if not all of the most
useful of these bills would have pass
ed had it not been for the persistent
and determined filibustering tactics
of the nti-prohibitionists, who were
determined that no temperance legis-
lation looking to the better enforce
ment of the laws for the suppression
of the whiskey traffic should be put
upon its passage.
Overwhelmingly for Prohibition.
Both houses of the general assem-
hlv were Overwhelmingly for prohibit
ton, and the whiskey element knew
that the temperance bills would GER
tainly pass if allowed to come up, and
thew began to kill time by every
method known to parliamentary law,
from the beginning of the session,
in order to prevent other bills from
coming up until the last seven days
of the session, when under the estab-
lished rules the rules committee have
complete control of the calendar. The
temperance committee of the house,
dominated and controlled by those
who were opposed to any temperance
legislation, persistently refused to
reD0rt bills referred to them. Three
hills that were agreed upon in the
senate were passed by that body and
sent over to the house in time to be
passed. but the rules committee on
This refused to allow them place on
the calendar, in the face of a petit
ton signed by 1927 members OF the
house.
If the whiskey or anti-prohibition
minority of the legislature had ceas-
ed their filibustering and allowed a
vote on the prohibition bills they
would have passed at any time IN 81
minutes, and then would have passed
all the other important measures
without any trouble.
Daily Papers for Whiskey.
The daily papers were backing the
fight of the whiskey crowd, and all
their reports were prejudiced and un-
fair. They knew that the pronlDl-
tionists were not to blame for kill
ing time and blocking legislation and
thereby making an extra session nee
essary, because it was stated. time
and again. that the majority were
ready and anxious to vote on all
measures without delay if they were
allowed to vote on at least one OF the
temperance bills, which was denied
them.
The issue was clear cut between

A BIG FORTUNE
THAT DISAPPEARED
Well known Social Leader Who Had
Estate of $6,OOO,OOO Few Years
Ago Now Worth Only $50, 900.

Fortunes will not take care of
themselves. They have to be care
fully tended, else they will melt
away. A lawyer in New York repre-
senting a we'll known woman, lead
err in society, explained the other day
that although his client a few years
ago had a fortune of s6,000,00O,
largely in realty holdings, she now
has but $4,000 worth of realty, the
great mass of her fortune having been
dissipated because she entrusted its
management to agents and servants
instead of properly safeguarding it.
Seems Impossible.
She was held in contempt of court
recently and ordered to pay fine of
$3.50 and then it was that the story
of the melting of the millions came
to light. To most people it seems i'm
possible to spend $6,0OO.OOO or to so
mfsmanage property of that value
that in the course of few years lit
tie of it is left. A million dollars is
still a large sum, in spite of the many
millionaires and the talk of big bus
mess ventures in which hundreds of
millions are handled.
The man or woman who thinks
that the spending of 800 on a weeks
outing is throwing money away will
try to imagine, no doubt, what it
would mean to have 100000 at
ones command, and wonder how so
much could slip through the fingers
of person even in a whole lifetime.
Perhaps it would be wise for social
leaders of wealth to spend less time
learning to fox trot and more in
learning how to hold on to their
money.

The TEXAS JEWEL MART
SAN ANTONIO'S THRIVING TRADE
IN ANCIENT SPANISH GEMS.

Millions of Dollars Worth Have Been
Disposed of by Mexican Refugees
Since Revolution Began.
A diamond larger than a birds egg
sparkled in his hand as he leaned
over the jewelers. case and asked,
How much?"
The merchant peered quizzically at
the dust-worn figure in front of the
counter. He took in the grizzled
goatee and what had once been a
carefully trimmed moustache. The
tanned face was framed with gray
sombrero, heavy with silver cord, and
his charro coat was dingy yellow.

comment as he adjusted powerful
glass to his eye and contemplated the
magnificent stone. 1t sparkled like
ball of sunshine or a cup of concen-
trated electricity.
"What is your price?" asked the
possible purchaser.
Wanted Breakfast.
Three thousand pesos gold l sell
him for" the grizzled outcast said.
"Three thousand pesos, and then buy
breakfast. That gem, senior; he is
very fine, ST? OF certainty. That
gem come from a long time ago into
my family, from Toledo in Spain.
Four hundred years ago it was worn
in the Alhambra by Moor, noble
it is a great diamond-worth many
times what I ask-but-" and the
wanderer from war-torn Mexico
shrugged his shoulders. Two big,
bony hands were thrown out in an ex-
pressive gesture: What can you do
when you have no food?"
II am sorry" the jeweler said. And
there was note of genuine re-
the riot of sunbeams.
81 have been buying diamonds for
many months until now l have reach
ed the limit"
The moneyless hacienda bowed
himself out. He carried a gnawing
stomach and small fortune in the
last or his FAMILY Jewels.
Many Similar Instances.
This happened the other day in
San Antonio, Texas. Similar in
stances have been daily occurrences
for months in the jewelry stores,
banks, pawnshops, and business
houses of San Antonio. You may fire.
quently see bargaining Of this sort in
hotels or on the streets.
During four years there has been
an influx of precious stones from
Mexico. Most of these have come
to San Antonio, finding their way into
the hands of jewellers and brokers.
Tens of thousands of dollars worth
of diamonds have been sent from
Texas to the north.
There are pearls of the finest lustre
and most perfect shape; rubies in
comparable in shape and color; Opals
in a hundred sizes and of every de-
scription; emeralds, sapphires, tur-
quoises-all have been thrown on the
bargain counter.
Many Sell HeirlOOms.
In most case these jewels have
been pawned by refugees to secure a
loan. Many have sold their heirlooms
outright. Some have failed to re-
deem their pledges within the speci-
fed time, thus FORGETTING the gem.
A jeweler is authority for the state
ment that Mexican refugees have
brought to San Antonio more than
100000 worth of diamonds during
the past two years. These have been
sacrificed for less than a million.

aRemove the snags from the river
and the steamships will have no

pilots.
The government has already spent
large sums on the Missouri river. The
rocords of the Missouri River Com
mission show that $780, 900 was
evnended by that body from 1884 to
1902. Of this amount $3,2S0,2O1

and systematic improvement of the
river" 49,
Nearly one million dOllars-$855,-
765-was expended for a plant, for
office work and for the expenses of
tbp commission and incidentals.
And after all this treasure had
bpen poured into the Missouri the
traffic was insignificant. In 1901, the
last year for which the Missouri riv-
or commission compiled statistics,
only 1889 tons of freight were car
ried on the river below Sioux City and
S7.349 tons above the city.
OF the 1889 tons below Sioux
City but 8,443 tons were hauled by
steamship; the rest, wood and rail-
road crossties, were RATED.
The first steamship wrecked in the
Missouri river was the Thomas JEFF
ferson. The wreck occurred near

River Deserted Ship.
The Trover, 100 feet long, was lost
in a unique way. In July, 1857, the
TrOyer left st. Louis with a cargo
for up river" points. She tied up at
Franchette Point one night. That
night the river fell. By morning
bar had formed around the TrOver.
By noon all the water had disappear
eT in the sand and the Trover was
high and dry. The river continued
receding and in few days the cur
rent was several miles away.
The TrOver never floated again.
Despite many stories OF wrecked
treasure ships" coming down from
the mines of the Rocky Mountains
the government was able to obtain
proof of but one. 1t was the Boreas
Number Two, wrecked at Herman,
Mo-, in 1916. She carried a large
amount of silver bullion and of Mex
lean money. Neither the money nor
bullion was recovered.
In 1915 there is just one steamship
on the river between Sioux City and
Kansas City. She is the Julia, of ten
tons, and she plies between Omaha
and Decatur, 60 miles. The United
States government spent millions Of
dollars in order that the Julia might
operate. On her last trip the Julia
brought one passenger-the first and
only steamship passenger to land in
Omaha in 80 years.
