THIS ENDS THE SESSION.
THE LEGISLATURE TO STAND AID
JOURNED AT MIDNIGHT.

Colleges Voted Down-The Members
Unable to Resist the Alluring Music
OF a Passing Band.
ATLANTA, GA. Dec. 19.-At midnight
tomorrow, according to Mr.. Lark's resolu-
tion adopted in the House this morning,
the legislature will stand adjourned unta
the second Wednesday In July Consider
able discussion ensued, and no less than five
amendments were proposed looking TO
further extension Of this session, and con-
veniag in january, but the Lark resolu-
ton was more to the taste Of the members.
In fact, several have already drawn their
per diem, and are at home regardless of the
demands of the state road complication.
Messrs. Hill and O'Brien advocated ad-
journment Saturday night
Mesers. Calvin and Goodwin, as a COM
promise, suggested Monday night.
A FARMERS PLEA.
Mr. Smith of Decatur wanted the House
to adjourn sine die tomorrow evening
In supporting the resolution to that effect
he said: 81 want to see if the farmers, who
have talked so much in advocacy of a
forty days session, will vote like they talk"
He, too was farmer, but his amendment
was killed.
A debate like that of last week, when the
branch college fight was at its hottest, was
repeated on taking up the general appro-
priations act to concur in the Senate
amendments When that for the resurrec-
ton OF the colleges came under review,
friends and foes took their old positions.
Messrs. Twitty and Berner had some wOrdy
passages.
HUFF's PLEA.
Mr.. Huff warned the members not to kill
the branch colleges. Three years ago, he
showed, Georgia did not contribute one
cent to the public schools, where now over
81 100000 was appropriated. OF this
amount the negroes would receive $400, 900,
and they only paid s4S,O 600. "Close the
echoOl doors on your sons" said he, but
don't see how you can point with any pride
to your legislative service if you do So"
Tue vote against reinststing the branch
colleges was SO nays to 65 yeas.
The Harvey alley question, being an
effort of the Georgia Southern railroad to
close an alley in Macon. which was ad-
versedly acted on in the House yesterday,
was reconsidered on motion of Mr.. Baxter
Mr.. Huff consenting. with an understand
ing that he should be notified before the
bill is called up.
RUNNING AFTER THE BAND.
During the morning the passing of
brass band drew the members to the win
dow, until the speaker had TO demonstrate
with them. by saving that he wouId excuse
all members who wished to go outside, but
that those remaining in the hall should keep
their seats. The band was advertising a
show.
