F A STORMY SESSION ? GOV. BLEASE WAS CRITICISED IN HEATED DEBATE. { SOME VERY WARM TALK ?. Several Senators Indulge in Acrimonious Speech as a Result of the Chief Executive's Refusal to Make Appointments Recommended by Senate in Accordance With Law. Clouds driiped over the horizon of the senate Thursday, presaging the advent of squally weather. Soon the thunder of debate echoed and the lightning of acrimonious reference zitr-zaueed through the chamber. It was all occasioned by the governor refusing to appoint magistrates and supervisors of registrotion in certain counties, after having been requested so to do by the senate through resolution. Senator Waller was one of the centres and he openly announced that the house should have backbone enough to impeach the governor if he did not make the appointments. Thursday morning Senator Wharton moved to appoint three senators from the upper house to wait on the governor and to ascertain if he had any other business for the senate. Senator .Johnstone said that the senate was not quite ready for adjournment, and suggested that the senate wait for at least oil hour before it send the committee to the governor. A little later Senator Appelt reported that the governor would leave about 1 o'clock to fulfill an Important engagement in Blacksburg Thursday afternoon, and that the senate should send a committee to him at once as is customary. Senator Wharton's motion was again renewed and a committee of three, composed of Senators Wharton, Ilough and Appelt, was appointed and was request ed to wait 011 tne governor ro gain, If possible, the information desired. On motion of Senator Young, the committee was requested to find out from the governor if the appointments for Union county had been forwarded to the secretary of state. The reply to the senate, through the committee, precipitated the war of debate that raged incessantly for lully five hours, both in open and in executive session. The governor reported that he had the constitutional right not to appoint until 'March 15, and that he (lid not intend to make any announcements until that time. Senator Wharton said that when the governor first said that he would appoint those recommended hy Senator Young ho also stated that he would appoint all others recommended. Senator Wharton said that as he was not satisfied, lie returned 10 the governor and asked him specifically those scheduled for appointment, and the governor replied that he had a constitutional limitation of time to make these appointments, and he did not intend to make them until this limit had expired, which is March 15. Senator Wharton said that, the governor desired to see Senator Young concerning tho appointments for Union county. Senator Young complied with the request and his recommendations were appointed. CJavo Hitter Record. The stem signals appeared wnen Senator Waller of Greenwood gained the door, and soon a storm blast of rcrimon'ous words swept the senate. Mr. Waller said that the constitution gave tho senate the light to recommend the apuolntees to of.fice and that it should vigorously and in no Minting terms express its will. Senator Waller read the following from section 2 of the constitution: "A sufficient number of magistrates shall be appointed and commissioned by tho governor, by and with the advice and consent of senate, for each county, who shall hold their offices for tho term of two years and until their successors are appointed and qualified." Mr. Waller made an argument that the constitution makes it absolutely mandatory 011 tho governor <0 ,appoint those that are recommended. }1e said that the "governing document of the government" would not have used (lie word "shall" if it had ' not meant that the chief executive s bound under the law to comply with the wishes and "desires" of the duly elected representatives of the people. He read several decisions from the supreme court to support his contention. Senator Appelt: "Suppose the senate advises appointments, and the ivMvnmnr refuses to commission, what t>v" * would you advise then to he dono?" Senator Waller: "Well, ii the house has any backbone, it would vote to impeach him." Resuming, Senator Waller said that lie was grievously hurt at the governor's action in holding up the appointments for Greenwood county. JTe hopod the senate would uphold him in the fight he was making to prohibit the governor in running rough shod over the desires as had been expressed by other senators. At. this point Senator Strait Inquired: "It an irresistible force were to come in contact with an immovable body what would happen?" Senator Waller replied: "Nobody but a fool would put the two together." Senator Waller, continuing, said that the senate In justice to Itself should not submit to the governor, hut should "light to the last ditch." He said that he was an old Confederate soldier and had seen the vicissitudes of war and he did not intend to "back down" but would battle to the last for his rights. The chair, at this point, said that there was no question under discussion and Hint riohnto wn? nuf of or der. Mr. Waller replied that he was speaking on a question of personal privilege on the way the chief executive of the State bad treated him. lie assorted that the governor had made other appointmnets and had refused o make his, therefore he thought that he had a right to voice his objections to such proceedings. lie said: "The governor lias failed to appoint Magistrate Kerr to oflice, and he has been recommended by me for the Greenwood delegation." He said that the senate had the constitutional right to give advise to the governor, and he thought that there should be some way to "order" the governor to make the appointments as were recommended. Senator Lanoy said that a concurrent resolution had been sent to the governor Wednesday asking for appointments and he had reported to the committee that he had nothing further to report and he saw no reason why the senate should remain in session longer. He then moved that the clerk of the senate report to the house that the senate was ready to adjourn sine die. He later withdrew this to allow a resolution to be introduced. Senators Clifton and Christensen introduced a resolution to advise the governor that the senate consented to the appointment of certain county officers. The resolution follows in full: "That the senate in session hereby advises for appointment as supervisors of registration for: "Greenville?C. L. Verdin, J. M. Ferguson, P. A. McD*.vid.

Several senators present refused to vote, and it was with difllculty that a quorum was Becured on this account. On motion of Senator "Laney a committee was again appointed, composed of Senators Wharton, Hough md Appelt, to present tho resolution to the goveVnor. When the commlttoe returned Senator Appelt reported that tho governor would send a mossago to the senate by his private secretary. Tho message said that the governor had no further information or appointments to make to tho senate, and that he had left his office to go on an Important trip. The message, on motion of Senator Clifton, was received as information and ordered printed in the journal. Senator T.nney again moved that the clerk of the senate ho ordered to report to the house that the senate was ready to adjourn sine die. Senator Clifton offered an amendment to 'his motion, sending to the chair a resolution rescinding tho former con11> ot Uirt ffATVAVftl I'HI m ill, li nwi ii i iuii mm. i in, i-,- ... assembly should adjourn yesterday. Mr. Clifton said that it is understood by the senators present that the body would come back in May. This reslution resolved that the senate, when it adjourned, would lako a recess until May 29.

R. Tillman, of South Carolina, made the following statement to-day, when asked for an opinion on the developments at Lawrence Mass.: "The labor agitators at Lawrence have used the strike and things that have grown out of it for the purpose of agitation. Shipping tho children to New York and Philadelphia could only have had one or two objects, to lessen the number of mouths to be fed at Lawrence or to excite tho sympathy of fellow workers in tho two cities named. "The interference by the police with the last shipment of children was unfortunate in more ways than one. It was wholly unwarranted by any law 1 know of and an invasion of rights that are guaranted by the Constitution. Had they stopped the first batch of children from going to New York city, it would have been a blessing, for they arrived late in the evening, during a blizzard, when the thermometer was around zero, and they must have suffered greatly. "I think it unfortunate that both house of Congress have been asked to interfere, because it appears to be purely a State matter. However, I recall that Massachusetts has claimed to be 'the cradle of liberty' and was leader of the crusado which resulted in the great civil war. The conditions at Lawrence seems to indicate that she has substituted industrial slavery for chattel slavery and a horde of foreigners in the city, thousands of whom who cannot _ . 1- 11. - T 1 1_ V. 1 speaK Uie lliLlgUHii muguuge, nave; J been imported to furnish labor. They are a sad commentary 011 out lax immigration laws. "If the occurrences at Lawrence last week shall cause Congress to enforce restriction such as will keep out these ignorant and debased people, the American people will look upon the strike at Lawrence as a blessing, and it will mark a now epoch of the war between labor and capital. The howling of the protective tariff advocates for more protection to American labor have brought a condition as striking and as epochmaking as the Dred Scot decision. Things in this country have come to a pretty pass when the authorities of a State go so far as to prohibit people from sending their own children away. "That is slavery pure and simple. But when wo recollect that such people as these have been naturalized and turned into Republican voters to vote for a protective tariff, it would seem that the greed of the manufacturer had overreached itself. It is time for sane and sensible people to find just what is the trouble and apply the remedy. Congress can stop promiscuous and unlimited immigration and should do so, but Congress cannot legally interfere with a State's police powers.

Senator Appolt then moved to adjourn sine die, upon which Senator Clifton moved to lay the motion of the senator from Clarendon on the table. The motion to adjourn was refused by a vote of 111 to 10. Senator Clifton s iid the pending question was the consldeiatlon of 1)1.3 resoluticn to take a reross until May 2;?. Cont inuing, he said that the noncurrence of the house would not a fleet iho status "of the adjournmen . lie claimed that the senate hao tne const It uttcral authority to rescind ;b.. resolution. Mr. Clifton stated that th.ue is a dlsagi cement as to the time of adjournment, but he thought that the senate should stand for Its rights. There are senators, he continued, whoso recommendations land annointments have not been con sidnred, and it would l>e an injustice to tliem to adjourn without Rome action heintr Inkon on them. He said further that the general assembly should remain In session until every resolution and every act he acted on and every person recommended he appointed. On a direct question from Senator Appolt, Mr. Clifton said that he thought, a proper person appointed to the position of magistrate was 'more important than the enaction of ' ' ' / 1 A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY" YOUNG MAN KILLED HIS SISTEK AT A SOCIAL PAIiTY. Tom Ennis, Drunk on Dlind Tiger lloozc, Shoots Mrs. Isndoro Giles, Near Sundersville, Ga. A dispatch from Sandersville, Ga., Kays one of the saddest tragedies that lias ever occurred in Washington county was that about midnight Monday night, at Deepstep, 12 miles west of Sandersville, when Mrs. Isaf dore Giles was mortally wounded by . her brother ToNn Ennis. She died j from the wound about 4 o'clock Tues clay morning. A country party was being given at the home of Mr. Isadore Giles, and a large crowd of young people from the surrounding community were participating. About 11:30 o'clock Tom Ennis, brother of Mrs. Giles, came into the house drunk; In fact he had been drunk during the entire evening. Mrs. Giles noticed his condition and, getting him to one side, began reprimanding him for his misbehavior. Without warning, Ennis whipped out his revolver and fired, the bullet striking Mrs. Giles just under her chin and passing through the wind-pipe. After shooting his sister Ennis became absolutely infuriated and would have killed others of the party but for the fact that he was overpowered by some of the men present and taken out and away. Mrs. Giles lived until about 5 o'clock Tuesday morning, when she died. She was 3 0 years old, and is survived by her husband and six small children, the eldest being eight years old. Ennis, who is about 20 years old, is the son of Mr. Ransom Ennis, who is highly esteemed in Washington and Baldwin county, where he for- ' merly lived. Inquiry at the sheriff's office develops the fact that no warrant has ! been issued for young Ennis and no arrest has been made. Late Tuesday : afternoon he was at the home of his father, at Deepstep. The young man was drunk on blind . tlcrer whiskev. No Honor is sold leg ally In any part of Georgia, but those who want the vile stuff finds no difficulty in getting it from the blind tigers that sell it. laws. C. A. Smith, president of the senate, then made a ruling that the joint resolution that had been adopted by the senate and the house could not bo rescinded as the house had refused to concur with the senate. Senator Appelt then moved that the clerk of tho senate notify the houso that tho senate was ready to adjourn sine die. Senator Clifton moved to lay this on tho table, which was carried by a vote of 1 4 to 1 0. Senator Clifton again introduced a resolution to rescind the resolution to adjourn. Senator Appelt moved to lay this on the table and his mo- 1 tion was lost by a vote of 11 for and 13 against, and the Clifton resolution was adopted. Senator Clifton then introduced a resolution, the purport of which was that when the senate adjourned it take a ^ecoss until May 2 8. Senator Appelt then said that something was in the air and he wanted to know what it was. He said that the action of the senato would react on the members, and they would have to answer to the people for their acts and their words. Stormily, 'Mr. Apelt said that he had seen tho "Chesterfieldian blond man- , oeuvring around the senate and he could guess that he wanted the general assembly to remain in session." In rebuttal to this Senator Carlisle said that Mr. Stephenson had only about a half hour since advised and tho senato adjourn, as ho could see no good in longer remaining in session. <-? ^ * -U 1.1 . riV/v.1 r> st'nmur Appcu. nmu ; ii?it ui u ciimplying tho gag rule, but I will voice my sentiments regardless." To this Senator Carlisle answered: "It sems to be a peculiar kind of gag that is used on you, senator." The resolution was then adopted, the vote being 13 to 11, tho senators voting as follows: Yeas?Carlisle, Clifton, Crosson, Hall, Hardin, Alan Johnstone, T. J. Mauldin, Muckenfuss, Spivey, Sullivan, Waller, Weston and Young?13 Nays?Ackerman, Appelt, Hates, Forrest, Green, Hough, Laney, Mc Cown. Rainsford, Strait and Wharton?11. The vote was then reconsidered and ^ tho date was changed to March 19. On motion of Senator Young the senate then took a recess until 4:30 yesterday afternoon. After tho senMi rosnmnd Its sessions, the house reporting that it had refused to concur in the senate resolution, on motion of Senator Appelt the upper ' house then adjourned sine die.
