! (By Leased Who to The Times.)
Atlanta, Ga., July 30. Today bo
lus; the day agreed upon by the pro
hibitionists and antl-prohibftlonists
In t:i" house of representatives for
the T'Kssage of the prohibition bill,
that measure is up for amendment
and will be put to a vote at 4 o'clock
this afternoon! At 11 o'clock a
number of amendments had been
offered, but there was apparently on
the part of the opponents of the bill
no determination unduly to block its
passage.
The first 'amendment was that of
the temperance committee, amending
section 1 of th-.i bill to provide that,
licensed druggists may furnish' pure
alcohol upon prescript ions. It is
considered certain that this will be
adopted.
Mr. Goer of Miliar county, offered
an amen lni -nt providingfuiat physi
cians may prescribe and administer
to patients aiy kind of Intoxicant:-,
considered necessary and may keep
on hand a supply of intoxicants for
medicinal use, and may fill prescrip
tions from such a supply. This
amendment will unloubtedly meet
defeat as the friends of the measure
Intend t accept no compromise
whatever, it is sai.l.:
. The principal amendment offered
by the opposition was that of Mr.
Barrow of Chatham, calling for a
postponement of the date of effect
iveness of the bill until January I,
1909, Instead of January 1, 1 90S,
as Is provided in the bill. It is fourth
In the list of amendments offered
and will be voted upon In Its regular
order after 4 p. m.
.'' '.' Mr. Barrow's amendment also
provides for a license of $l,0n0 to
the state during the year 1908.
Mr. Boyd of Spalding offered an
amendment providing that tho act
should not Interfere with the manu
facture and sale by the grower of
domestic wines.
In accordance with tho agreement
of the opposing forces on the bill,
today Is to be spent In debate, the
time to bo equally divided between
the two sides of the question, and
consequently, no important result Is
looked for until after 4 o'clock. At
this hour 13 amendments in all had
been introduced.

"The heathen think that n woman's

tr.m against. 'the 'railroads in regard
to slate discrimination. I hope and
trust that the railroads are honest
and desire to treat our state fairlv
and will correct any errors that may
have existed in the past. The con
tention of our shippers, Jobbers and
retail merchants was thoroughly s t
forth In complaint Xo. 5 before our
corporation commission, in which
individual ' instances were cited,
that this discrimination exists. All
our shippers and merchants desire
is that they shall be treated in the
same way as Virginia shippers are
treated and should have one or more
distributing points in North Caro
lina to which and through which
we can get the same rates now given
Lynchburg, Itydimond, Norfolk, etc.
To do less "puts us at a great disad
vantage in competing with the mer
chants of other places, and is, to
say the least of it, unjust to our
people. Goods are shipped to Lynch
burg through Winston, Greensboro
and Durham for less than they can
be shipped to these points. In fact
our shippers can have their goods
shipped to Lynchburg and then pay
the local rate back to their places,
cheaper than they can have them
shipped direct to them. This upon
its face is unfair.
"Will you please, through your
agents, come and investigate with
the corporation commission and my
self these facts, to the end that an
amicable - adjustment can bo made
In regard to these matters.
"Assuring you of my desire to
settle these matters without any
litigation whatsoever, I am,
"Very respectfully,

SOUTHERNER FOR
THE PRESIDENCY
Bacon Finds No Particular
Interest in This
FAVORS SUCH A MAN
He Says I'liere Is Nothing Seclioiial
in This As the North Has Bern
Long Supplying Presidents, One
Chosen from Dlvie Would Tend to
Destroy Sectionalism.
(By Leased Wire to The Times
Washington, JulvDn. Senator Ba
con - of Georgia was in Washington
vesterdav, starting on his vacation
When asked what the sentiment Is
in the south relative to the choice of
the next democratic nominee for tho
presidency,', he said :
"There does not seem to be any
particular, interest on the subiect as
vet, -and' in the abt-oncc of u contest
tor the nomination bv some live, ag
grossive southern candidate, it is not
probable" that t.nero will be much of
a contest over i:. in our section. This
is not due to indifference on the sub
led, tor nothing political would so
reieice the .people of the south as to
see a democratic, president elected
next vear.
' There are plentv of , 'best men
both at the north and at the south.
We have been finding our 'best man'
til the norm lor fortv vears. and have
been voting for bun all that time.
even when his own section failed to
do so. 1! is time now to find cir
.best, man' at the south. There i3
nothing se-tionul in this. On the con
trary. It is the onlv way to destroy a
practice which has become thoroughly
sectional," ..
"'on think, then, there are south
ern men available for the nomina
tion?"; " - -
"Why, certainly; plenty of them.
I could name a dozen or a score of
southern governors, past and present,
either one of whom would be fully
equal to the average president In the
past forty years. The same is true
of many who have served in either
house of congress. The president U
usually selected from public men of
bis day, and he is generally in no
particular superior in qualifications
to the class from which he is selected.
After he becomes president he Is a
very large man because of his office,
with its vast powers and vaster pa
tronage. .
John Daniel and Others.
"But where would you find a man,
north or south, who would make a
nobler president than John Daniel, or
one that, the country, north and
south, would be prouder of? And
there are Culberson and Carmack
and George Gray and dozens of others
who could be named, all of them able
and of high, unblemished charactor,
and also experienced in public affairs.
What is needed is for some one of
them to step out and say that he
seeks the nomination and will make
the fight for it. When he does so,
and gets the south behind him, as
either one of them would do under
such circumstances, the nomination
will be his."
"What are the issues upon which.
In"-your ji'dgment, It is possible or
probable that the democrats can win
in the next election?"
"I may be mistaken, but, in my
judgment, the democratic platform
should expressly and distinctly put
the fight upon tho Issues of the re
vision of the tariff and opposition to
the centralization of power In the
general government and the usurpa
tion of power by the executive depart
ment of the government. ' In other
words, ns to this last, the defense and
!'.; intenanee or tho rights expressly
reserved In the constitution to tho
slates." '
