The House Votes Against a Stay
Law-NeW Blls-Proceediugs of the
Senate.
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 14.-This morning
when the roman was being read, DR.
Cbappen of Laurens gave notice that he
would move to reconsider so much Of the
roman as refers to the 'glanders' bill.
He seems very much welded to this bill
The bill was indefinitely postponed yester-
day. DIR. Chappell offered numerous
amendments which he thought would meet
the objections TO the bill. The chief object
is the expense incurred in paying for the
stock killed under the provisions of this bill,
and the expense of sending veterinary
surgeon to examine the stock.
Messrs. Huff, Reid, Mattox and others
spoke in favor of reconsideration.
There was a call for the yeas and nays
which prevailed This motion was carried
and the bill goes back TO the c1mmlttee,
but three-fourths of an hours time was
squandered in putting it there.
NEW BILLS.
On the call Of the roll for the introduce
ton of new matter the following bills were
offered:
Bv MIR. Brodnax Of Walton-A bill to
rrohibit the sale Of spirituous, malt or in
foxicating liquors in or upon the promises
of the state capitol or within three miles
of the same. Mr. Craigs amended 1t by
adding. Except for medical and scientific
purposes" No matter how much in earnest
these gentlemen may be, this bill will never
be heard from again. Some Georgia legls-
lators must have their "toddy" occasionally,
even if they can't keep a "blind tiger" in
the capitol.
A communication was received from the
Savannah River Association, Hon. Patrick
Walsh, president and Hon. M. V. Calvin,
secretary, asking the House to send a dele
cation to the next meeting in Augusta on
Nov. 10 and 20, 1891. This was also read in
the Senate.
