 Mir. Samford--I ask the gentleman to yield to me temporarily. l desire to make a motion that the rules be sus-
 pended, and that this Convention re- main in session until this question Is
 disposed of, or until this amendment
 is disposed of.
 Upon a vote being taken, a division
 was called for, and the motion to sus-
 pend the rules was lost.
 Mir. Fitts-I move that we remain in
 session until the gentleman from Ma
 rion completes his argument.
 The motion was carried.
 MT, Pearce-As I started to say,
 there IS one or two more propositions l
 wanted to discuss in connection with
 this matter. It has been insisted to me, before I came here. and since came, that the farmers did not have this tax to pay. We'll, the reply nave to that is simply that if the farmers do not have to pay it. and 1t IS rignt 10 impose the tax of fifty cents ton on the manufacturer, there has been a greater mistake made, for they ought to have gotten fifty dollars 8 ton in- stead of fifty cents ton, and had a school everywhere. That Is my opin- ion about 1t, and you see that proposi- tion will not hold good.
 In conclusion, want to tell you, gen tlemen. that I know the working peo- ple: I know the little boys and the ht- tie girls in this country, and l nave
 ridden over this country and seen them digging and delving to make cotton at five cents a pound to pay this guano tax, and I appeal to you, gentlemen, as
 I tell you, notwithstanding l am from A county which has one Of these schools in it, appeal to you on both sides of this hall. when you vote on this proposition, for Gods sake vote !. down; it will be the most patriotic and the most sensible thing you ever aid in your life. Stand up for your man. hood; stand up for what Is right; let it go which way it may. l thank you' gentlemen, for your attention The President-Leaves of absence are requested for MT. Cofer for today, and for MT. Davis of Etowah for tomorrow After making the usual announce, ments, the Convention adjourned untii 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

water company. By a contract between
the city and the water company it was
provided that after the number of fire
hydrants reached 300 the rent on the
excess of that number should be free.
The same contract was in force in

EXPECT COMPLETE SURRENDER
Preparations Being Made for Von
 Waidersee Expedition,

Pekin, Feb 2O-noon.-The foreign envoys this morning received an un- official communication from the Chi nese plenipotenti;lries offering to agree to all the terms of the powers. The Chinese desire. however, to save the lives of Chao Shu Chiao and Ying Men, but they were informed that the ministers insisted upon the former de- mands. A complete surrender is eX- pected tomorrow. Meanwhile eXten- siye preparations are being made for the expedition planned by Count Won Waldersee. The Germans have pur- chased l ,SDO camels for transportation purposes.
 \ representative of tie Associated Press was informed by the foreign ministers to-day that they think 1he gravity of the situation over. but it is expected that difficulties will now arise among themselves. when some of the governments send their indemnity claims, and particularly is there un- easinesS regarding the attitude of Ger many that her claims must be paid ill cash before the eva cuation takes place. The other ministers resent this, saving it will be impossible for China to pay as China has not q large reserve and the customs receipts go to pay diVi- dendS upon former loans: and it is inn probable she could borrow q sum of any magnitude. United States Minis ter Conger estimates the total demands upon China it $4Uo, 100000.
