 AFTERNOON SESSION. l When the house reassemble at 0 clock, | the tax assess meut law having been made a | special order for today, the substitute to | the bill-the substitute having been ere | aied by the ways and means committee | was taken up.
 Mir. Brooks of Mobile offsred an amend | ment to section 8, which provides the 1 length oi time that the assessment board of | me reSpectlVt counties snail S1t ana the | compensation they shall receive. The | amendment was adopted. | MT. John of Jefferson opposed the sub | stitute upon the ground that to- maintain | the plan proposed by the su bstitute ana to l support the machinery which it provides | for would cost more than the additional l amount that the measure would bring into
 the treasury. He referred to the importance | Of the state debt and believed that the sub | s.itute was not calculated to meet the de- l a | credit of the state was to be considered. | He said that tw O. thirds of the corporation | capital in this state had been exempt under | the old law. He contended that the sub | stitute was 10 better revenue law than the | one now in force.
 1 MT. Brooks of Mobile followed Mir. John I with an argument favoring the substitute. | He believed that the substitute would prove | to be plan by which the siate would save | large amount in the assessment of taxes; | that it was economical instead of expen | sive. He claimed that it was efficient, which was not true of the original bill. | He dwelL upon the bank tax section, and | believed that the adoption of the original | bill would largely decrease bank deposits | in the state and drive railroad invest | ments from our borders. MT. Kyle of Morgan moved, in view of | the fact that the bill was not thor | oughly understood by the members of the | house, that its further consideration be
 postponed until the first thing tomorrow l | House bill 1140--To confer chancery ju-

 House bill 774-To make incurable in- | sanity ground Tor divorce. Passed. House bill 569-To esta l,sh a board for the reception and distribution of dead hu- | man bodies in Jefferson county, and to regulate the same.
 Dr. Cameron of Sumter said, in speech | opposing the measure. that the passage of the bill and the institution of such board would be a disgrace to the civilized state of | Alabama. Ho did not consider 1t necessary | in the practice of medicine to have subjects for dissecting purposes, since wax figures 1 could be used for the same ends. l MT. John said that he was surprised that l man who called himself doctor should make such statements upon the floor of l this house. He said these colleges of Jei- l ferson county are open to the world, and | this measure will only give them the same
 right and privilege allowed all other med ical colleges in existence. MT. Kyle of Morgan advocated the measure in strong argument, and asked the members of the house to not regard the
 sentimental appeal of the gentleman from Sumter, who claimed to represent the pro- fession in the state in his position, which he (Mr. Kylu) did not believe. Mr. Brooks of Mobile offered an amend
 
 ical college be made beneficiary of pro-
 portionate number of the bodies distrib- uted.
