 MT. o'Neal--There seems to be some confusion as to the rule which we adopted this morning. The agreement was that we read each of these SUD- divisions, and unless objection was made they were considered as passed. To obviate any further discussion on this, I move the previous question on the adoption of this subdivision call for the previous question new II seems to me that Is the only plan.
 MT. Pettus-I would ask If the gen tleman objects to accepting an amend ment: Provided, it shall not apply to any municipalities. MT. ONeal-We have already voted that down. therefore move the adop- AAl and unOn tnat I call the adoption of this subdivision
 The President-The Chair does not understand the rule under which we are pursuing. Are we adopting eacn of the subdivisions as we come to them? The whole Section will be sub mttted and we bave not taken any vote on the other subdivision. MT. ONeal-I move, then, that we pass to the next subdivision.
 MT. Sanford (Pike)-Do understand the ruling of the Chair is that Sup division A is to be considered adopted without a vote on 1t, when oD]ectlon has been made to it? The President-The present occupant of the Chair was out when the con sideration of the matter was entered upon. The understanding of the Cnair was that the Convention would pass fpom one to another of these subdi- visions. and when the Section was | completed there would be a motion to adopt the Section.
 MT. Sanford (Pike)-My understand | ing of the agreement was that where | there was no objection or amendment to a subdivision when read. that l, | would be considered as adopted, ane 1 whenever there was an objection ol | amendment that a vote would be taker I lr4~ 1A fhAHA h. | divisions for the purpose Of passing | them are being treated as Sections O. l this Article.
 | The President-We cannot adopt Constitution by an understanding: ther' must be a vote of the Convention. l Mir. Samford-I understood 1t wal unanimous consent.
 Mir. Reese-I rise to a point of in quiry.
 The President--The gentleman vii state the point of inquiry? | MT. Reese-Do I understand ou rules are suspended? Then, by wha sort of vote can we get back to ou system of voting? move that we re sume the rule of this Convention.
 Mir. Samford-As l understand 1t. still have the floor, have not yielded to anybody.
 MT. Foster-Will the gentleman alloy me to interrupt?
 MT. Samford-Certainly. l MT, Foster-I desire to state to tn President that my understanding wa as the gentieman from Pike says, tha l when the subdivision was read an' there was no objection nor amendmen offered, 1t was considered adopted un til the end of the Section was reached and then the whole Section was to b. | voted on.
 MT. Samford-I desire to offer al amendment.
 Mir O'Neal-I rise to point ofOrder
 The President-The gentleman wll state his point of order.
 MT. O'Neal-I have called for tn previous question on the adoption o that Section.
 Mir. samford-The call has not beel sustained.
 MT. O'Neal-It has not been put t a vote of the House-before the gentle man took the floor. l had made tn motion. The agreement made thi morning was, if no objection was mad to a subdivision when read. it was con sidered adopted. and in event objection was made the same rules as applie to a Section would apply to this.
 I made a call for the previous Ques ton, and I insist on that call.
 MT. Samferd-I insist on holding tn | floor. My understanding was that tn gentleman called for the previous ques ton and that the call was not sus tained, and that the floor was yielde and I got the recognition of the Presi dent, and as long as l have the floor have a right to offer an amendment | the Section. as I understand the rule of the Convention.
 MT. ONeal-Let me call attention t the fact that he rose to point of or der to demand the yeas and nays.
 The Presidential is exceedingly dit ficult for the Chair to enforce a rul made in his absence, and the limits ( which are not yet clear to the Chair.
 MT. Oates-The delegate from Tus caloosa stated it correctly. I nov that that be considered the rule in tn consideration of these subdivisions. H stated 1t with perfect correctness, ey erything that was read passed. bu wherever objection was made c amendments offered a vote will be ta ken on that.
 ThS President-That a special vot might be taken on that?
 MT. Oates-Yes.
 Mir. O'Neal-I move the previou question. The gentleman from Pix rose to a point of, order before tn Chair had an opportunity of putin my motion. When the Chair dispose of his point of order. the question re cured upon my motion demanding tn previous rquestion.
 The President-The understanding as stated hV fhe gentleman from Moni
