l sa.'ucu thc IiooF on my IiSht !" S'OSS l this matter.
 The President pro tem-The point of order Is well taken.
 MT. Graham-The seeming dlsturp- ance Is in regard to what should be stricken out of Section 9. As It reads so as to leave Auburn intact 1t is per- fectly satisfactory to the Committee, because t provides that as much as Is in there relating to The University shall be stricken out and 1t leaves Au- burn intact. I therefore insist that so far as that part of it is concerned, there IS no necessity to reconsider. and in sist upon the regular order. The President pro rem-The gentle man makes the point of order that the motion of the gentleman from Wilcox Is out of order for the reason that at that time the gentleman from Tdlladega had the floor and the gentleman from Wilcox had no right to make the mo- ton.
 MT. Jenkins-I have just been told by the gentleman from Tusca!oosa that my amendment is provided for.
 The President pro tem--As many as favor the adoption Of the Section will say aye and those opposed no.
