 MT. Samford-I think nut
 MT. Cobb--Why not! ,. Mr Samford-Why. It says eAe"''' hv law That does not apply. MT Cobb-I am with you put Want .hot understood, whether you ai" raacbing the object you intend!

 NJr Samford-I will ask unanimous ,oneant to add except on account "f age'' after the word law in the tolrd line.
 Mir Grant, object.
 MT Samford-Then let 1t go like It is. I said that there are certain ex' emptions made by law. age Is not one nf them I do not think It mas tnat effect and upon this amendment ana ahe section I move the previous Ques- tion. Mr Weatherly-Will the gentleman allow A question? When the committee mt in that phrase not now exempt bv law" l believe that is the language. Mir Samford-Yes sir.
 Mir. Weatherly-The statute fixed the age at forty five, so there was no ex- emotion, SD that exemption above the age of fortv-fve in the Constitution and in the statute were the same. 30 that under the present phraseoloEy the exemption provided by statute over forty-fve would be an exemption now provided by law
 Mfr Robinsou-Does not your section fin there amply to the blind. the deaf and dumb and to wounded soldiers, who have less than five hundred dol lars worth of property?
 MT. weatherly-Yes, sir.
 Mir. Robinson-That is exactly it.
 MT. Samford--I state to the Conven- tion it is my contention and do not think it would apply but think it does apply to these men. There would be discrepancy and the Committee upon "Harmorics" would be expected to put it right
 Mir Reese-Nill the gentleman allow a question? Would you allow me to make a motion to suspend the rules to allow the insertion Of words.
 Mir Samford-I will.
 Mir Reese-I move that the rules be suspended and that the gentleman be allowed to insert the words requested. Upon a vote being taken the rules were suspended.
 Nr San rord-This is the amend ment: Add after the word law in the third line except on account of age
 Now move the previous question.
 The previous question was ordered.
 MT. Grant, consider this. sir. much more dangerous proposition than the ona voted down
 The President pro tem.-The gentle man from Calhoun will be seated he is out of order.
 MT. Grant-For what reasons. I move to lay the amendment of the gentleman from Pike on the table.
 table was lost.
 The President pro tem.-The gentle man moves to law what on the table?
 MT. Crant-The amendment of the gentleman from Pike.
 The President pro tem.-Which amendment does the genueulan refer
