Mr.. MOODY: l am in favor of this bin.
Its author is an honorable aud educated
gentlemen OF that most honorable profes-
sion, and am DESTROYS on his account that
the House shall give this bill a candid aud
impartial consideration. This bill is not all
its friends would like to have by way of med
zeal legislation, but it is q step in the right
direction, aud | trust may II some degree
aid in protecting the resident physicians
and the people of our State against
the charlatans and travelling ouacks fleeing
from other States into ours, because of sim
liar laws there enacted / am satisfied this
DILL is 60 liberal in all of its provisions that
il will not deprive any man from prscticing
medicine If he is q man ut TO engage In so
learned and honorable calling. | have never
been over anxious TO legislste in the inter
est of any particular class of men, but in my
humble judgment we should have a law
that will. il possible, protect our people
against that class of men who are tramping
over the country claiming TO be able 70 cure
any and all diseases to which the human
System is subject believe this bill viii &C.
complish much good If enacted into a law.

The bill rs. 1O51 to amend Section of the
Fee and Salary act Of 1883 being read tn 3
third time
Mr.. EN6LE: This bill simply repeats
that provision Of the existing laws which al
lows County Clerks 81 day for attend ng
court. That was tackled on 10 tbs bill b :
the Legislature two years sgO by false pre-
lenses, and there is no reason for the Clerk
getting this extra pay, when be already
makes $40 or more day for what he does
during court.
Mr.. HARRELL: am opposed to the bill,
because il would work a hardship on the
Clerks of the smaller counties of the State,
although 1t might increase the compensation
Of some Clerks who do not deserve it,
Mr.. MOCK. of Wells; l favor the bill, be-
cause believe the Clerks of the State make
more money than they are rightfuIly en-
titled 10 now.
