Afternoon Session.
When the calendar had been disposed of
the Richmond and Washington Air Line
charter bills came up as unfinished bust
ness, and Mr.. Kelley was recognized to
complete his argument in favor OF the
Senate bill. He called attention to the
fact that under charters now in existence
the Richmond, Fredericks burg and Po. o.
mac Railroad was liable to be parallaled
a any time, in which event the State
would lose the splendid opportunity for
the sale Of her interests at the preSen.
price offered, and would also fail TO get
u per cent. per annum on her mold ngs.
Mr. Saunders, of Franklin. followed
Mr.. Kelley, and spoke for the bill as
amended by the Finance Committee
He said he believed he could establish
the justice of the position taken by the
Finance Committee Of the House III rec
ommending its amendments.
Mr.. Saunders. in reply TO the suggestion
on the part of the Seaboard Air Line
people that the offer of y per cent. OF
tho part Of the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac Railroad upon the States
holdings was u bride, said II this was
true, it was question of bride against
bride, the Seaboard Air Line haviag of,
fered as much of q bride as the Richmond.
He contended that, as a business and
law proposition. the offer OF the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac was
a good one, and the Attorney General
had said it was legal.
He dwelt at length upon the States
interests, and said that it, in his judg-'
ment was the first thing to be considered
In connection with the matter. He said
the only difference between himself and
those who advocated the Senate bill was
that he did not think $500 per chare
enough for the States interests, and they
did.
de then undertook to establish his con-
tention that the price offered was made
quate, and was asked a number of ques-
tions by Mr.. A1cAllister. who was sup
porting the Senate bill.
Mr.. Saunders spoke in most eloquent
ana convincing manner, and appealed to
the House not to vote away the interests
of the State until fully satisfied that the.
rights of the people We're properly pro-
tected, which he was sure was not the
case under the Senate bill.
Before Mr.. Saunders had concluded his
rena rl1s, the hour of six O'Clock. the
time set Tor taking the vote on the bills.
