HOUSE PASSES
REPEAL BILL
BY IS VOTES
When Measure Comes Up In
Senate Attempt VIII BE Made
To Block 1t

ATLANTA, August g, - The bill
repeating the tax equalization law
passed the house by the bare ma
Jority of 18 votes, 104 voting for the
bill and sc voting against it. As the
number of votes required in the
house of representatives to pass a
bill is. 104, the bib received just
enough to pass. immediately after
roll call Representative Moye, an op-
ponent of the bill, gave notice of
a motion to reconsider, the effect of
which would be to hold the bill in
the house another day and the pur-
pose was to renew the fight in the
hope of defeating the bill on anoth-
er roll call. Representative Wat
klns made a motion to transmit the
bill immediately to the senate, the
purpose of which was to forestall any
further consideration. His motion
carried by a two-thirds vote. By
this action the bill passed out of the
hands of the house and cannot again
be considered by that body.
The following new bills were in
troduced in the house:
Bills introduced.
By Mr.. Perkins of Muscogee-To
exempt from taxation Reinsurance
premiums on policies written in
Georgia.
By Mr.. Beckham, of Dougherty-
TO require all annual reports of state
officials to be consolidated into one
volume.
By Mr.. MCCARTHY, of Pauling-To
allow children of one county to at
tend standard four-year high schools
in an adjoining county.
By Mr.. Beck, of Carroll - To re-
quire notes, bonds, mortgages, ac-
counts and other evidences Of debt
to be returned for taxation and MAX
ing them uncollectible if not return
ed.
By Mr.. Bowdcn of Ware - To
authorize the highway department to
acquire certain toll bridges and fer
ries.
By Messrs Holloway and Moore,
of Fulton, and Dekalb Delegations
To increase jurisdiction of municipal
court of Atlanta from $500 to 81 900
in suits and to include suits for per-
sonal injuries.
Point of Order Raised
When the tax equalization bill
which was passed by the house comes
up in the senate point of order will
be made that the senate having fail
ed to pass similar measure, is bar
red under the constitutional provis-
ion from considering two bills con-
tanning the same subject matter at
the same session. 1t is said that
President Of the Senate Herbert Clay
will hold that the bill cannot come
up in the senate at this session, al-
though Mr.. Clay is a strong advocate
of the recall of the tax equalization
law.
If Mr.. CLAY should rule that the
bill can be considered there viii be
an appeal from his decision and an
-ather 7ilfbuster will start. Cover
nor Hardwick has announced that he
will veto the measure unless the leg
islature passes some bill which viii
bring in sufficient revenue to meet
the expense of the state.
How They Voted
The members of the house voting
for the repeal of the equalization law
are: Adams, of Walton; Anderson,
Baldwin, Beck, Bird, Of Taliaferro;

neighbors recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills. Read this statement:
Ms. H. W. Hair, 4O5 Gully Row,

came on gradually and 1 suffered tor
ture with my kidneys. My kidneys
were congested and my limbs and an
kles swelled and were so painful /
couldn't stand on my feet. My back
was weak and painful and there was
steady, dull misery over my kid
neys. Some days I was able to do
little work but often had to give up
and rest. My sight was affected and
spots foated before my eyes. l had
headaches and was run down and my
nerves were unstrung. Doan's Kidney
Pills helped me a great deal. Two

Edge6eld's Clean Up Week.

The back yards in Edgefeld were
so creditable that the inspectors
found it quite hard to decide what
names should be turned in for the
judges, Mrs. M. B. Tucker, Miss Mae

eide on the prize winners. Then when
the judges made their round they
found it more than hard to choose
the best from their list. which includ
ed Mesdames James Zimmerman, Je-
rome Zimmerman, w. H. Harling, j.
G.. Afford, Wright Holston, Mouzon
Smith, W. T.; Reel and w. C. Mad

which was three dollars, to Mrs.

thanks every one who cooperated in
this clean up campaign and feels
gratifed over the results.

LONDON, Nov. % (By The Associ-
ated Press).-The Christmas toy mer-
chants this year have one Of the best ar.
guments for the "shop early" admoni.
tion that they have had for several
years. Although in the United States
the Thanksgiving turkey is just begin
ming to have qualms regarding its fate,
everybody here is beginning to talk
ChTistnas and what it may bring forth.
Ihe first "do your shopping early" tolk
began to appear in the newspapers this
week In the form OF warnings that TOYS
may be extremely scarce.
1t IS asserted that thousands of or
ders for toys placed in Germany early
in the spring cannot be executed
partly because of the excessive demand
and partly because when the orders
were placed the exchange rate wa .
1890 marks to the pound, whereas it
now is $4,000.
1t is predicted, however that con-
venient substitute for toys, especially
for scientifically inclined Youngsters
will be wireless outfits, for which Eng
land is developing a veritable craze.

key is now only weak nation, too ex-

have her preferences. She may prefer

enough. But be assured that Turkey

England is a great country. There are
many good people in England. 1t is
certainly not without good reason that
Sultan Mahommed VI, my august SOW

that he helps to spread English in

Turkey must live in peace with all the

But, although he has been constrained
