Bill 34S. restoring the right to give and
receive free passes, was put on It's sec
ond reading. Mr.. McCurry moved to
Law the bill on the table. Mr.. Robert
son, on that motion, demanded n
ayes and noes. The call was sustained

ofayes, Al nays, 81. Previous to the call
of the roll, Mr. Ray gave notice OF q
purpose to explain his vote, and when
his name was reached he said that he
was a member of that legislature that

question was then on the bill on its
second reading. on which Mr.. Mckenzie
demanded the ayes and nays. Mr..
Ray thought the sentiment was not the
proper one. The question is to strike
out the provision controlling the RAIL
road commission. Mr.. Watson, Of
Forsyth, said it put us in position to
repeal what other legislatures had done.
He did not believe there waSany power
to influence any man on this floor by
a railroad pass. He agreed with Mr..
Robertson in his explanation. Those
who passed the bill were not dema-
gogues, but the bill is wrapped up in
demagOgery, Let us act cautiously
Here on motion Of Mr.. Blair, the bill
was referred to the judiciary commit
tee. On motion of Mr. ALLEN, the vote
by which the bill in relation to railroad
passes was referred to the committee

ferred to the committee on Railroads
and the Railroad Commission with in
stTucti0ns to prepare a substitute. On

journed until to morrow at half-past
