The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-07-20

n chair had heard the gentleman, he W1old have put the question over. and 1LS chair w1fl ask now to be permitted &S 5o so and that the gentleman be all lowed to make. the point he was about 0 make.
 There being no objection. the leave was Kiven.
 Nr. Pillans--I respectfully say that knew the chair did not hear me. l nave such confluence in the chair per- ssonally, as well as the position he oc- cupses. that knew he did not hear me, but the instant the question was stated I called for the ayes and noes.
 The President pro tem-Upon what
 Mr. Pillans-Upon the question be- fore the house--the amendment offered by the gentleman from Dallas.
 The President pro tem-A motion was ma0e and put by the chair to table the amendment of the gentleman from Dallas.
 MT. Pillans-And I immediately de- manded the ayes and noes upon that
 Tho President pro tem-In order that no injustice may be done, the char asixs that the call for the ayes and noes be rut.
 Mr. Reese-I rise to a point of or der. The gentleman from Dallas, my colleague. offered this amendment. and he never had surrendered the fioor. He was upon the floor and motion .vyas made to table, and Immediately the sentleman from Dallas commenced demanding the ayes and noes. and ne has had the floor ever since. 2 The President pro tem-The Chair has consented, and I believe the Con- yention will now consent. to put the csn for the ayes and noes. The Chair does not agree with the last gentleman from Dallas, because there is a mo- tien made by his colleague to refer the afnendment to the Committee on cor porations.
 MT. Burns--I take the position that I had the floor.
 The President pro tem-The delegate vii pardon the Chair. but the dele gate certainly took his seat, and the Chair recognized another gentleman. The Chair asks consent of this Con- yention that the Convention now act npon the call for the ayes and noes demanded by the delegate from Mobile.
 Mr. Cofer-I rise to point of order. that this is not germane and it has been defeated by this House on dif- ferent occasion. and has been settled.
 The President pro tem-The Chair rules the point of order is well taken.
 MT. Jones (Montgomery)-I appeal from the decision of the Chair.
 MT. Boone-I call for the ayes and noes on the question whether the Chair shall be sustained in ruling that it is not Eermane.
 MT. Greer fCalhouno-I move that we now adjourn.
 Mir. Reese-I demand the ayes and noes on the motion to adjourn. will withdraw the call.
 MT. Brooks-I insist on the ayes and noes being called.
 Mir. Jones {Montgomery)-What does the Chair do with my appeal?
 The President pro tem-There are so many appeals, if the delegate will par don. the Chair and allow him one mo- ment. After the appeal of the dele gate from Montgomery there was a motion to adjourn, and the ayes ana noes were demanded. and the Chair is told by the Secretary that the demand was sustained.
 Mir. O'Neal-The demand for the ayes and noes was withdrawn.
 MT. Fitts-There never was any standing up on that proposition.
 INT. Jones (Montgomery)-Then my appeal is still pending from that rul- ing. if the Char insists on ruling that this matter cannot be offered.
 Mir Vaughan-The time is nearly out and I move that we remain in session until the question under consideration is disposed of.
 MT, Heflin 6RandoYph)-The motion of the gentleman from Calhoun to ad- joufn is before the House.
 MT. Proctor-I demand the ayes and noes.
 Mir. .deGraffenreid--I rise to a point
 frnrn the decision of the Chair no other motion is in order.
 MT. Burns--rhe motion to adjourn is always in order.
 :, MT. Ashcraft-I have not the rule in my hand, but am sure that 1t Is parliamentary rule that pending an ap- peal from the decision of the Chair no other motion is in order.
 Mr Oates-I desire to say that cer- tainly the delegate from Iauderdale Is mistaken. I have known an appeal to be taken and discussed. and doubtless the present occupant of the Chair has been in the Congress of the United States where they observe the high est rule of parliamentary law. It may be discussed for one or two days be- fore 1t is decided. and we adjourned when it was a pending question, and 1t does not have to be disposed of as the main question before the Conven- ton.
 Mr. Sanford (Pike)-I give notice of c reconsideration Of Section 30, and have received inrormation that I have sickness in my family and cannot be here tomorrow. I desire to make the motion to reconsider the vote whereby Section 8 was adopted and ask that it lie over until tomorrow.
 There being no objection the motion was entered.
 The President pro tem-Before put ting the motion to adjourn the Chair desires to suhmic to the Convention the following requests for leaves of ab- eence. Mr.
 Mir. Pillans-Before that is done 1 want to understand if we have called for a vote by the ayes and noes, If the clock strikes 6 1t goes over, and I shall insist that we have the vote on that question, and that the vote be proceed ed with.
 MT. Jones (Montgomery)-I move that we remain in session until that appeal has been settled.
 To which there were loud expres- sions of dissent.
 MT. Greer (Calhoun)-I move we do now adjourn.
 The President pro tem-All who favor the motion of the delegate from Mont gomery will say I.
 4 division was called for.
