HISTORY WILL DO HARDING
JUSTICE, MRS. FELTON, SAYS
Only Woman Ever Senator
Pays Beautiful Tribute to
Late PreSident-Eyes Mis-
W as She Voices Grief

In a voice at times uncertain with
emotion, and with her eyes misting
with unshed tears behind her old
fashioned spectacIes, Mrs. w. H.
FELTON,, former United States sena-
tor from Georgia, paid tribute Fri
day morning to the memory of
President Harding. She had spent
Thursday night at private home
in Atlanta.
81 want to express my psesonal
grief" she said. UNLESS the presl-
dent had some near relative in this
part of the country, I probably was
more nearly his chief personal friend
here than anyone else [ knqE My
grief is therefore personal. From
the time he invited me to st. Au-
gustine, in December of 1920, up to
the last letter I had from him, we
were personal friends. He knew L
had nothing to ask and he had con-
fidence in my disinterested friend
ship.
+ CAS- I saw him first and as I saw
him last he represented the high
est type of American manhood-an
outstanding, high-minded, patient
great gentleman.
81 am so grieved for his wife. His
anxiety was for her when I saw him
last. 1t did not appear at that time
that he would go first.
History is going to. do him jus
tice. Coming to the presidency al
a time when the worlds turmoil was
greatest, he has tried to be faith
full, patient, peace-loving president
The time is coming when President
Harding will rank among the firsI
and the best fer his broad American
ism and for his full appreciation OF
! his responsibilities. He will rank
Imong those who stand highest ef
tried and true American.
1--WE are to have another great
| leader in President Coolidge. I think
| it particularly fortunate that the
rcins of government have fallen into
| the hands of as safe a man as Pres
ident Coolidge. His experience as
governor of Massachusetts and his
| firm handling of the difficulties
which beset him in that Office mark
ed him as a man of rare executive
| ability.
Il am fortunate in having per
sonal acquaintance with Mr.. Cool
| idge. When he came to Georgia aft
| err his election I met him at the
Georgian Terrace and we talked to-
gether for some time. A newspaper
photographer made some pictures of
us. Mr.. Coolidge has referred sew
eral times IL that meeting and re-
minded me that he still has his
copies of those pictures.
'The dispensations of Providence
having taken Mr.. Harding from
among us, am satisfied the coun-
| try feels much relief that the alarm
and anxiety which might, under 9th
err circumstances, have surrounded
us are prevented by the personality
| of Mr.. Coolidge in our highest place
of responsibility. We are to have
another great leader in President
| Coolidge"

RY RIG Hall STORM

reported last week by the ways and
means committee. This law is prac-
tically a redraft Of the old general
tax act, providing for special and &C.
cupation taxes, and will require con-
siderable study. There are many
other bills of general application and
of great Importance pending, but
few of them have any chance for
passage, if the two bodies make a
serious effort to enact new revenue
laws.
An Investigation Of the state high
way department, which took up sew
eraI days of the session before it was
finally ordered, is now under way,
and no further discussion is expected
on the floors of the two houses I'm.
til the investigating committee
makes its report.
A resolution to investigate the
state department OF agriculture
adopted by the house of representa-
tives, is in the hands Of a senate
committee, to which it was referred
because it provided for an a. propria.
ton to pay the expenses of the in
quiry, it was said. The senate IS
expected to act upon this resolution
early in the week.
Another investigation was pro-
posed Friday, when Representative
Wimb>rly, of Toombs county, intro.
duced a resolution to investigate re-
ported dissension on the public serv-
ice commission.

Although a number of bills of local

dred local bills that have been ap-
proved by committees and not yet
voted on. Many other bills have
been adversed by committees, but
| placed on the calendar for the \pur-
| pose of the authors moving that the
reports be disagreed with.
| The session of the house held
! Saturday accomplished something,
despite the fact that less than 125
members. were present at any time,
and less than a quorum of 104 voted
on several occasions. Speaker Neill
finally summoned every representa-
tive in the capitol and closed the
doors to maintain a quorum. There
are 206 members of the house.
Because of the small attendance
authors of bills struggled to keep
their measures from coming up, be
cause the opposition of four or five
members was sufficient to defeat q
measure, 104 votes being required.
cust before adjournment the body
killed bill by Representative Ellis
of Tiff county, to give counties the
right to adopt the county manager
