Mr.. Dean called up bill to provide
;or the cttice OF banking and insurance
commissioner, and to define the duties
OF the same, IN order 10 move to STRIFE
out the eascting words.
The aye and Ray vote was a5cot to
be taken when Mr.. Buist desired to
ru5 himself oa record by declaring
that be wss not opposed 10 the bill.
but did object to making the banks
and insurance companies pay the ex-
pensss ct carrying out the law.
Mr. Henderson put himself on rec
| ord with Mr.. BUST and gave the same
reasons for his position.
| Mr. May field stated that be opposed
the bill for the same reasons, for, said
be, while the expenses }. the bill
would ostensibly be paid by the banks
they would in reality come cut OF the
people
Mr. Mower spoke on the measure,
and said that while he was not welded
to the provisions OF the bill he believ-
ed it was incumbent upon the general
assent bly, to pass such law for it was
made mandatory in the constitution.
Mr.. Dean not only objected to the
provision relating to the payment Of
the salary Of the inspector, but be-
lievsd the bill would co no good. He
cited the failure OF the Gates City
bank of Atlanta, which failed the day
after it was pronounced sound by the
bank inspector.
MIR. Ragsdale spoke against the bill
and referred to the wrong ideas ''clod-
hopper" and concerning banks. In
nediately afterwards Mr.. McCalla
took the floor to make some additional
remarks. He began by saying that
while re favored the bill he did not
do so from the same motive as some
of these little lawyers who saw g pos.
sible fee in it for them.
Mr.. Dean and Mr.. RsgsGale simul-
taneously sprang to their feet TO ask
if personal illusions were made to
them. Mr.. Desn spoke first and turn
ing to him Mr.. McCaUa said he did
not take the floor to make any per.
sonaI illusions TO any member of the
body. Mr.. Dean sat down and Mr..
! Rsgsdale then spoke to Mr.. McCalia,
saving that his remsrks seemed spec.
tally directed at him and he wished to
know if they did.
MIR. McCalla responded that he did
not unless Mr.. Ragsdale classed him
self SIS s little lawyer. Mr.. Ragsdale
was demanding direct ans when
Mr.. Desn interrupted and made the
same demand
Mr.. McCalIa replied to Mr.. Dean
that he most certainly did not refer to
him.
Mr.. Rsgsdale insisted on similar
answer and Mr.. McCalla responded
by saying he did not alludo to the
senator from Fairfield unless be ex.
pected to get fee out of the banks.
Mr.. Rags3ale took his sest and Mr..
McCalla soon Concluded.
Mr.. Henderson explained his posi-
ton on the measure.
Mr.. Ragsdale arose to a aouestion OF
personal privilege and declared that
IN his speech he intended his reference
to little ''clodhoppers" as a pleasant
ry. He meant to give offense to no
/ one, for be had himself hoped as
many clods as any one. But" de-
clared the senator, emphatically, Il
did rot come to the senate to brook
insult either on or off the floor of this
chaute,. II is my desire that my re-
lalions with my colleagues be pleas
ant, but when any of them sees Fl to
aspsrse my honor in any way am
ready to hold him personally respons!.
| Die on LnlS uoOr. Or Oh.
Mr.. Slcaa spoke for the bill, Mr..
Moses against l! and Mr.. Dean con-
cluded toe debate.
Just before the vote was taken, Mr..
McCalla arose and said:
Il have assured the senators that I
meant no reflection. l think the SEN
ators know me well enough to know
that I am personally responsible
either inside or outside of this chamber
for what I say. I was nettled by the
reference Of the senator from Fairfield
10 'clodhoppers, as I took it to be
reflection on the farmer and I aross to
his defense. wish to say now that I
have held the two gentlemn in nigh
esteem and have Away regarded them
SIS honorable attorneys"
The vote was then taken on Mr.
Deans motion to strike out the enact
