The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-06-18

would suggest to my friend from Jef. | ferson if he would be kind enough tC | change his motion to recommit to { motion to strike out that part of thi' section, the result would be attained.
 Mr. Lowe--The reason do not car, to do that is because this is a sectior which requires to be very carefully
 written. and I do not believe 1t is saf' | in making a Constitution, working al we are, with the ends for which we ars working, to amend by piecemeal upoT | the floor. It seems to me the best pro | cedure would be to recommit, and l therefore, my motion did carry with i instructions to the committee to ellmin. ate one objectionable feature from Sec, l ton 13, simply that the committed might carefully re-write that section. l MT. Jones (Montgomery)-I quite un | derstand the purpose of my friend from Jefferson. and I quite agree with hin
 that we should not be nasty In passing
 upon important sections: but I think
 he loses sight of the fact that if that part of the section to which i1i samend. ment is directed were stricken out, ths
 ordinance would still be complete fir | itself and, as we are going to pass upon this ordinance. as 1t is finally amend
 ed. and as it is going before the Com mlttee on Harmony, I do not think we
 take any risk by having vote on these questions now; and then. if the ordi-
 nance is left in an incomplete, or an improper shape. to recommtt to the
 committee.
 MT. Lowe--If the gentleman will par don me
 Mir. Jones (Montgomery)-Cer MT. Lowe-I am frank to say would be utterly unable to draft an amend Aa etr rfI fhA mart II SUant stricken out that would leave the Sec tion harmonious, 1t might or it might not. It seems to me, 1t would sake time to eliminate the various phrases running all through the ordinance.
 MT. Jones (Montgomery)--Wili my friend permit me one suggestion: Let us not cross the bridge before getting to 1t. Suppose the House does not strike out the things which, are objec- tionable to you?
 Mir. Lowe-Then my motion Is lost. It is in the body of my motion that the committee be instructed to elim- mate.
 Mir. Jones (Montgomery)-That Is the reason I suggest that a direct vote on that proposition would be better. Mir. President, see 1t lacks only four minutes of adjourning. time, and I can- not accomplish anything by occupying the floor four minutes, and move that the Convention adjourn.
 Mir. Piilans-Is 1t in order to name the hour to which we shall adjourn?
 The President--Under the rules, when we adjourn we will adjourn until to- morrow morning at m
 Mr. Pillans7 uld work twice a day. .'alP
 The Presiient-The chair would sug- Rest that that question was submitted to the Committee on Rules and they have reported op the matter.If the gen. tleman desires, he can move to suspend the rules.
 Mir. PilIans-Then move to suspend the rules in order that may amend the motion of the delegate from Mont Romery, that we adjourn until o'clock.
 The President-Does the gentleman move to suspend the rules?
 MT. Pillans-Yes, sir.
 Mir. Oates-I hope the delegate from Mobile will not insist on that motion, because there are committees engaged on reports that it Is absolutely neces- sary to get in as soon as possible, and one or two more afternoons will permit us to finish.
 The President-Does the gentleman from Mobile insist on his motion?
 MT. PiIIans-I will not after that statement of the gentleman from Mont gomery.
 Mir. Hefiin (Chambers)-I move that the rules b. suspended and that the House remain in session until o'clock.
 A vote being taken, the House re- fused to suspend the rules. and, after the announcement of vaCjous commit tee meetings. the Convention adjourned.
