is QUIET
|. AFTER TWO SESSIONS
Legislators Withdraw; Stormy
Scenes In Debate Are
Described

ATLANTA, Dec. 18.-(By Asso-
ciated Press After two sessions
of the Georgia General Assembly
within the year, the capitol now is
quiet place.
The quietitude is attributed by
officials to both the fact the legis-
lators have gone home and the COM
ing of Christmas spirit.
Pretty stenographers no longer
pound away on their tyepwriters
throughout the day. There is
lull in correspondence. But the
nimble fingers are not idle; they
are engaged in making handker-
chiefs and many other things Tor
| Christmas presents.
The governor is down on Cumber-
land Island, with a party Of friends.
on hunting trip. State Game and
Fish Commissioner Peter S. Twittv
is planning hunting trip on which
he has invited several Atlanta
newspaper men. This trip will he
made during the Christmas HOLIDAYS
A number of legislators is attend
ing hunt being given by Repre-
sentative Griner in Ben Hill coun.
ty. Several other hunts are being
planned by officials, during the
holidays.
And as a final indication that
the Christmas spirit prevails at the
capitol, Cliff, the dusky porter of
the executive department already
has collected" Christmas gift.
During the recent extraordinary
session OF the assembly debate Of
ten reached a heated degree. bit
only once did a near-fight result.
This occurred late on a day near
the close of the session. Wimberlv
OF Ioombs, asked permission to cast
MS ballot on a bill and retire ow-
ing TO important business. Mimber-
~, Of Laurens, objected.
The house usually grants re-
quests OF such nature under I'M
anlmous consent, so Wimberly. of
Ioombs, again asked to be excused
objected. as"''i
~ representative Frank Holden, of
clarke county, then made another
request in behalf of the Toombs
member. Wimberly of Laurens. re-
peated his objection and explained
mat the gentleman from ToonEs,
nad a. impugned his veracity."
The two Wimberly's almost came
70 blows, but members separated
holden explained that Wimberly.
OF Ioombs, had two night classes
Teach IN Atlanta and for this rea-
son desired to be allowed to c.st
his ballot, and retire. 80
& Inc Observation-Disclosures re-
tired, but he did SO without vot;nS
as the gentleman from Laurens'
was firm in his objection.
