AT the afternoon session the negro
blood section was adopted as reported by
the committee. IL reads as follows: THE
marriage of a white person with negro
or mulatto, or person who shall have one
eight, or more negro blood, shall be I'M
Many efforts were made to amend to
have 1t read ANY negro blood" but they
failed.

Vention adopted a section designed to pro-

MAY PAY CHICAGO A VISIT.
Talk OF n Southern Excursion to the
Western MefropOIis


II Is possible that the visit OF the Chi
cagoans to the south will be returned by
representatives OF the several cities visit
ed Such a movement is being discussed
and it is possible that il may amount to
something.
Although no such announcement has
been made there is an impression that the
Chicagoans who recently visited the south
with the Chicago Southern States Asso-
citation viii give a banquet or reception In
their city some time soon TO which repre-
scntatiNes OF the several southern cities
visited will be invited. IL may be that this
report is premature and Is anticipating
the plans of the ChicagOans. A Savannah
IAN VINO was prominent In the entertain
ment of the Chicago visitors said last
night when spoken 10 about the matter
that he had understood that the First II
linOis regiment was to have an event of
some kind in celebration of its southern
trip, TO which the military Of the cities Wis
tied would be invited. IL was TO be in the
nature OF a military exhibition, he under
stood, though not general military
event only the military OF those cities Wis
tied by the First regiment being invited.
Whether or not the Chicago people have
amy such idea in view there is no doubt
that move to get up party to visit
Chicago would be received with favor here
and just as little doubt that the party
would be well received in Chicago. SaVan-
nah is anxious TO increase her trade with
chicago and the west, and a party bent
on such a mission would be certain of a
favorable reception.
Savannah, as the prospective port
through which Chicago and the west are
to build up great South American trade,
should not be slow in bringing her adVant-
ages prominently to the attention of the
western people and keeping them there
and delegation with such an object in
view might accomplish a great deal OF
good by NiSit 10 the western cities.

A SENSATION IN COURT.
One of the Lawyers Indignant mt n

Jacksonville, Nov. Estates Attorney
Hartridge interjected a new feature into
the murder trial of Robert and Joseph
Hubbard to-day, which developed rather
sensational court room episode. The two
Hubbard brothers are being tried for kill
tng Percy Lines last Christmas eve. The
dead man was an Englishman, while the
defendants are North Carohnians. The
states attorney asked each venireman a
number of unusual questions, the object
dice against foreigners, as well as bias
in favor of the defendants. One of the
questions was: Has Mr.. Stripping Mr.
Walker, or Mrs. Gibbons (the defendants
attorneys), or any one talked with you
about this case, or spoken to or had any
communication of any kind whatever with
you relative to this Case?"
At this Col. John T. Walker waxed
Wrathy. He objected and declared that
it was a personal reflection upon him
as lawyer and upon his associates as
lawyers and gentlemen, and that ques-
ton carried with it the insinuation that he
or his associates was dishonOrable enough

Judge Call allowed the question to be
propounded to the veniremen stating
that if the defense desired to ask ques-

Walker retorted that he had no occasion

jurors had been selected however. he
