DIR. Norman Of Liberty found that he had
a lot of the members against him this morn

out 70 be punctured, if it could be.
The bill is to prohibit the use in schools of
histories which refer to the war between
the states as the war Of the rebellion. The
Warehouses jumped on the bill and tried TO
break it to pieces. They said it was no
hour for engendering such feelings. As for
the younger generations. they will not de-
part from the paths Of their fathers, nor
forget the traditions Of their people. No
race has ever done.so The discussions on
this measure were heightened by amend
meDts and substitutes, and by sharp argu-
nents pro and con, a considerable time.
Lectured Crawford, the colored member
from Mcintosh, was fat-footed against the
measure. He got up and walked into the
middle aisle 70 be heard, but somebody
made motion to table the measure, and
before the speaker opened up he had TO vote
on it.
The motion was lost, aud the bill was put
