BECK OF CARROLL WANTS
ALL GAMBLING STOPPED

ATLANTA, Ca, July 27.-The fellow
that walks up to soda fountain with
friend and matches the friend to see
who buys the drinks will be liable tc
pay fine or serve a term in the
chaingang, or both, and the friend will
be equally as liable, if the legislature
of Georgia passes a bill introduced in
the house of representative yesterday
by Mr., Beck of Carroll county.
Mr.. Beck doesn't believe in gambl-
ing in any form, even down to the pet
ty indulgences like matching for the
drinks, pitching "crack-a-loo," throw.
ing heads and tails, etc.
Likewise he doesn't believe in neck
ties. There is a standing reward IL
the house for the person who win
catch him wearing tie. He does con-
sent to put collar around his neck
as compromise with convention, but
that's his limit. He wears no man s
yoke.
By way of proving the latter, Mr.
Beck of Carroll having difficulty get
ting recognition from the speaker dur
ing his first week in the house, walk
ed down to a position in front of the
clerks desk in the center aisle and
commenced to eXpound his views in a
stentorian voice.
Il came here to be recognized, and
dent propose to be shut off," he roar
ed; and since that time the speaker has
been able to see him with his (the
speaker's) eyes shut.
The gentleman from Carroll is a
regular bear-cat on points of order.
He sleeps with a rule book under his
pillow and calls the speaker down
most every day.

AOODOO AFTER THE
SOLOA Of MUSCOGEE

ATLANTA. Ca, July 27.-Represent-
alive Herman Swift, of Muscogee coun-
ty, one of the most diminutive but most
influential members Of the house, is
trying to figure out what sort of d
hoodoo has camped on his trail.
A day or so ago the gentleman from
Muscogee was the target for somewhat
severe criticism in an Atlanta paper
for advocating the passage of the bill
to purify" the primaries of Georgia.
which bill required all primaries to be
held under the county unit plan.
The fact was that Representative
, Swift did not advocate the bill, but
opposed it; while his colleague, Repre-
sentative Cecil Neill, of Muscogee coun-
t., was the author Of the bill.
Then along came a Waycross paper
and Jumped" the gentleman from Mus
cogee, Mr.. Swift for advocating the
repeal of the tax equalization act when
as matter of fact he had led the fight
against its repeal.
Mr.. Swift created more discussion
with one five-minute speech against
the req cal of the bill TINA all the bal
aDce of the opponents of repeal put
together.
Some Of the members of the house
who are most persistent in advocating
the repeal of the tax equalization law
are men who have been forced by the
law to pay their taxes lie told the
house in the midst of the tax repeal
discussion few days ago.
And right after the speech the Way.
