LEGISLATURE MAKING
A GOOD SHOWING.
—
A Livelier Gait Than Ever Has
Been Struck —Both Oratory
and Bills Are Largely on
the Increase.
| With the beginning of the fifth
■ week of the session of the gen
eral assembly Monday, says the
Gazette, the senate seemed to
have struck a livelier gait in the
way of both the introduction of
bills and oratory than at any
time since the present session be
gan.
The base ball bill was disposed
of in short order by a motion to
postpone its further considera
tion indefinitely, offered by Sen
ator Mears, which was passed by
a vote of 18 to 9.
The debate on the insurance
bill arose over the fact that two
bills almost identical in terms
had been introduced in the sen
ate, one by Pennix and the other
by McFerrin. The Pennix bill
passed.
The debate on the Butt bill to
allow the use of two rooms in the
new state capitol by the U. D. C.
arose frnm the statements of
several senators that they had
; been informed there was a differ
ence of opinion among the ladies
: of the organization itself as to
| whether they wished these rooms
in the new capitol or larger quar
ters in the old capitol building.
There was another interesting
occurrence later in the afternoon
when, just before adjournment,
Senator Goodwin introduced an
anti-gambling bill. The bill was
j amended several times and then
referred to the committee on
judiciary.
The threatened mandamus pro
ceedings against the state audi
tor in the name of the clerk of
the house did not materialize,
nor will there be necessity for
any such proceeding. The house
| yesterday passed a resolution in
troduced by Mr. Miller of Jeffer
son instructing the clerk to fur
nish the members with station
ery and postage, provided the
i amount to be expended for the
j purpose shall not exceed $20
! daily. Under this resolution it
is said that the contingent fund
of the general assembly can be
drawn upon for the stamps, and
j the whole affair has been settled
! amicably.
j Mr. Arnold of Clark county
i introduced in the house a bill to
_ _t~i:_—
CJUpjJICOO i 10 evil
exact copy of the famous Wilson
anti-gambling law. The latter
was declared to have been un
constitutionally passed and the
new measure covers identically
the same features as proposed in
that bill.
THROWN FROM SLEIGH
Saturday night, says the Jones
! boro Sun, Mr. and Mrs. Doswell
| P. Brown and Miss Elsie Wright
i were out sleighing and in turn
: ing a corner the sleigh was over
I turned and each of the occu
pants thrown from the sleigh.
Fortunately none of the party
was hurt aside from some slight
bruises received by Miss Wright.
The sleigh was badly torn up,
the horses becoming frightened
when it overturned. The acci
dent occurred on South Mair
street in front of Rudy Cope
land’s residence.

ciated and remembered by the

sponsibility are well entrusted in
his election.
