 MT. Samford-I move the adoption or the Section as amended, and upon that 1 demand the previous question.
 Mr. Brooks--I move to lay on the table the Section reported by the Com mittee so that the Constitution will remain as it is and on that I call for the ayes and noes.
 MT. Jones (Montgc mery)-It Is too late to make such a motion when the previous question is called for.
 Mir RrnOks-A motion fO "a !, z precedence of a motion for a previous question under our rules.
 The President-The motion of the delegate from Mobile is to lay on the table
 Mir. Jones (Montgomery)-How does the Chair rule on the point of order I made against that?
 The President-The Chair heard no point of order.
 Mir Jones (Montgomery)-I made the point of order that there was a mo- ton for the previous question before the motion to table and that motion for the prN ious question has prece- dence.
 The President-Under our rules the motion to lay on the table has prece- dence.
 Mir. Jones (Montgomery)-It must be under our rules then for it has not un- der general parliamentary law. The Presidential is under our rules. and the question Is on the motion Gf the delegate from Mobile to table the Sec ton reparted by the Committee.
 MT. Brooks-And on that call for the ayes and noes.
 MT. O'Neal Oauderdale)-I rise to a point of order. The call for the pre- vious question had been made previous to the motion to lay on the table, and the motion to lay on the table was too late. admit the motion to lay on the table has precedence, but that prece- dence does not exist when there is a motion for the previous question pend ing.
 Mir. Brooks-Tha idea of precedence could not arise if one mo- ton was not offered before the other. The gentleman offers motion for the previous question and then offer the motion that the orig inal section be laid on the table and I contend that has precedence as the Chair has properly ruled.
 The President-The Chair will over rule the point of order and the ques- tion will be upon the motion to table and upon that the ayes and noes are called for and the question is shall the call be sustained.
 MT. Jones (Montgomery)-Do l un- derstand the motion before the house is to table the call for the previous question?
 The President-No, sir; to table the section as read.
 MT. White-What became of the pre- vious question?
 The President-That will be in order when the House disposes of the mo- ton to table which has precedence.
 MT. White-I rise to inquire whether when the call for the previous ques- tion has been made anything is in or der except to see whether that is sus- tained?
 The Presidential the opinion of the Chair, the motion to table having pre- cedence, would be in order, just as motion to adjourn would be and the Secretary will call the roll.
 MT. Brooks-The effect of this mo- tion. if adopted, is to lay on the table the section reported by the Committee, which would leaye the Constitution as it now is.
 The Pfesident-The effect of the mo- ton will be to lay on the table the section as reported
 Mir. O'Neal-And then there would be no law al all.
 The call for the years and nays hay ing been sustained by the rising of more than the requisite number, the roll call on the motion to table the section of the Committees report, re- suited as follows:
 AYES.
