 but the gentleman from Lauderdale 1 has the floor.
 MT. Rogers-The- gentleman yielded | to me for that purpose. | The President pro tcm.-Docs the
 gentleman from Lauderdaie yield? Mir. Ashcraft--I yield for that pur-
 pose.
 The President pro tem--T'he gentle | man yields the floor to the gentleman | from Sumter for the purpose of making | motion.
 MT. Rogers-I move that both sec- tions be laid upon the table for tho pur-
 pose of having them printed for the I benefit or this Convention to pass on wisely, and upon that, Mir. President, I call for the previous question. MT. O'Neal-When to be considered? The President pro tem.-The gentle l man from Lauderdale had the floor, | his time had not expiped. he yielded the floor. which he hat right to do, | during his time to the gentleman from
 Sumter. The gentleman from Sumter
 moves that the pending amendments | be laid upon the table and ordered | printed and upon that he moves the i previous question.
 MT Lomax-I rise for the purpose of | amending the resolution, that 1t lie upon the table until the report of the Committee on Educa ton comes in.
 Mir Rogers-vI withdraw the call for the previous question for the purpose | of accepting the amendment of the | gentleman from Montgomery. MT. Browne-I rise to point of or | der. IA motion to lay on the table Is
 not debatable.
 | The President pro tem.-Does the gentleman from Sumter withdraw the | motion for the previous question? Mr. Rogers-No sir; let the matter go as it Is, and the other question can be arranged later.
 MT. O'Neal-If the motion of the gen. tleman from Sumter prevails, the orig | inal section offered by the gentleman 1 from Talladega and the substitute or amendment be printed, will it lay upon | the table to await the action of the Convention?
 President pro tem-Any proposition
 before a parliamentary body laid upon the table can be taken ur at any time.
 The motion of the gentleman from Sumter is. that the pending amend
 ments be printed and laid upon the table.
 Mir. Browne-Indefinitely MT. Rogers-Be printed and lie upon the table. it is in the pleasure of the Convention to take it up whenever they want to.
 Mr. BrowDe-->Tpon that call for the ayes and nays.
 MT. Heflin (Cbambers)-I understood the motion of the gentleVan from Sum-
 ter to be that the substitute and amendments to be laid upon the table to be taken up at the time the Com-
 mittee on Education's report is con- sidered?
 The President pro tem-The chair did not so understand the motion of the gentleman from Sumter. Is the call for the ayes and nays sustained9
 The call for the ayes and noes was not sustained. aud the question recur- red upon the adoption of the motion of the gentleman from Sumter which was carried.
 Mr. Lomax-I move that that pro- posed new section offered by the Chairman of the Committee and the substitute or amendment thereto offer ed by the gentleman from Lauderdale lie upon the table until the coming in of the report of the Committee on Ed ucation. and that 1t be considered along with that report.
 President pro tem-The gentleman is out of order. It Is not before this Con- vention, you will have to move to take from the table.
 MT. Browne-All of this Article has been adopted except the one that has l just been laid upon the table. There | was another laid upon the table at the | instance of the gentleman from Lau- | derdale. MT. Weakley. It is agreed | between the Chairman of the Commit | tee on Municipal Corporations and | myself that that section be now taken l up and considered. I therefore move | to take section ' from the table.
 Mir. Weakley LauderdaieJ-The | Chairman of the Committee op Taxa | tion has stated to the Chair that an | agreement has been made that that | section shall be taken up. I rise to | state that I did not understand that | any such agreement had been made.
 MT. Browne--WaS it not understood | that when we got through with the | other sections we would take this up | and adopt this substitute? As there is nothing else to do with this report ex- cept to adopt section of some kind upon this taxation, and the Commit tee on Taxation Is through, I move to | take Section ' from tho table in order to dispose of it In some way.
 MT Harrison-1 would inquire of the Chairmen of the Committees on Tax stion and on Municipal Corporations if 1t would not save time for this matter to be taken from the table and referred to a special committee consisting of the Committee on Taxation and that on Municipal Corporations. and see if they cannot agree'
 MT. Browne-I would like to state that there is no disagreement between them. It seems the Committee on Mu- nicipaI Corporations have incorporated a few towns that desire to come in under the Birmingham amendment.
 MT. Heflin (Chambers)-I rise to a point of order. A motion to take from the table is not debatable.
 President pro tem.-The point of or der is well taken, the chair was in dulging the gentlemen so they could come to some agreement.
 MT. Jones tMontgomery)-Wh is Section (?
 Mir. Browne-The section with regard to municipal taxation
 Mir LomaX--And also about educa- tional taxation?
 MT. Lowe-Dces not Section [ deal with schools?
 MT. Browne-It is proposed to take it out.
