auntie and the Major sitting in the

little lady with the sweet smile and

In the senate today, during the wait
for committee on engrossed and en-
rolled bills to report, the senate made
an effort to revive the legal newspaper
bill. II was reurrected and sent to
the governor under circumstances that
may cause its legality to be questioned.
An effort was also made to have in
serted in the salary bill an item for
salary of deputy state superintendent.
IL failed. The salary vas intended for
Mrs. Jackson, who Is assisting her hus-
band.
A committee was appointed to notify
the house that the senate was ready
to adjourn.
Speeches were made by members
and the best of feeling prevailed.
The lieutenant governor said the
past few months would ever be pre-
cious to- him. His closing remarks
touched tender chords.

So matters stood until the night Of

ccllaneous claims bills; salary appro.
priation bill; SIS, allowing board Of

on the bonds of county trrasurers, the

%tation. comforting upon them semi
judicial powers and suspending the
present law of injunction. II reverses
the order of procedure by placing the
burden OF proof on corporations which
may be ordered by the board to per-
form any act. Under the present law
the board has power to enforce orders

this and holds the boards orders final
and conclusive, aud the corporations
are required to go into court, assume
the burden of proof toshow that orders
Of the board are unjust.

passage and on'roll call IL was killed,
Senator Grothan coming in and voting
nay, making the vote n tie. After re-
cess, however, on motion of Senator
Grothan, n motion to reconsider car
ried, the vote demonstrating that the
noon recess had been advantageously
used by friends OF the bill. The bill
thus agai n came before the senate fOi
passage or rejection.
Opponents of the bill declared IL had
not gone through the course prescribed
by the constitution, and IL passed
would not be constitutional. Friends
Of the bill thought different, and said
! the record would show that the bill
was legitimately before the senate.
The vote in detail on final passage
was as follows:
