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.

"That the senate consents to the
same as supervisors of registration
and magistrates and requests that
the governor appoint the same In accordance
wit hsectlon 17G and 982
of the civil code of 1902, volume 1."
On roll call the resolution was
adopted by a vote of 2 2 to 0, the
vote being as follows:

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>

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.
Senator baney's motion to lay this
resolution on the table was lost by a
\ote of 10 for and 13 against, the
members of the senate lining up as

Tariff, for the Trouble at
J>a\\rence, Mass,
Senator 13. 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

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. Wo aro between
the devil of capitalistic greed
on one hand and the sea of Social*

is cured.
"It seems like poetic Justice that

much wrong and caused so much miscry

The resolution was then adopted.
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.

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.

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,

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.
