Il certain amount of education. and they have from now until 1904. perhaps, ann \ pie time for every man to acquire sufh- ciens education to become a voter | ,Ms. Reynolds tChilton)-Wnl the | gentleman answer a question MT. Coleman-If the gentleman will | answer. do you propose to support the ratification of the Constitution? MT. Reynolds--I do not know. Mr. Coleman-You do not know? I prefer to get advice from the friends of the Constitution.
 Ms. Reynolds-Doe5 tho gentleman decline to answer my question? tMr. Coleman. I do. I do not care | to be interrupted by anybody who does not propose to stand by the Constitu- | ton. am willing to receive sugges- | tions from its friends but not from it's | enemies, an I now move to lay the amenment upon the table. | MT. Heflin-An upon that I call for the ayes and noes. The President-The Chair will call the | attention of the gentleman from Greene that the Chair is advised that the amendment was referred to the Com mittee. M:. Coleman-We have reported The President-You have not report ed the amendment.
 MT. Coleman-The report is that they declined to make any further altera- | tion.
 The President-The question is upon | the adoption of the report. MT. O'Neal Gauderdale)-I move the previous question.
 MT. Heflin (Chambers)-I move that the report of the Committee be not concurred in.
 Mr. Malone-I would like to ask a question. l am just trying to get at the practical result of this, and I think at the same thing the gentleman from Greene is trying to get at. It is this: In certain sections of the country the people are put to the necessity of hav- ing their property divided. part of it consisting O! real estate and part of it personal property In other places it would of necessity be entirely personal property. Would not the working of that be that in communities where most of the property is personal proper ", to require the ownership of $500, and In the other sections it will take S6O0
 Me. Colemap-I do not understand that.
 MT. Malone-If a man owns forty acres of land in the country, would not he of necessity have several hun dred dollars worth of personal prop erty?
 MT. Coleman-If he owns forty acres or land and lives on it, it does not make any dinerence whether he owns any personal property or not
 Mf. Malone-If I am a young man ana live in town and have no real estate and own $350 worth of personal property can vote and the man with Sooo worth equally divided cannot vote.
 MT. Coleman-My answer to all that IS thls: Those people occupying the position you say, are permanently reg istered under this temporary plan. and after that time, they are expected un- der the liberal provisions We have made 10 obtain an education, and be able to read and write.
 MT. Malone-All I am trying to get at Is that in one section 1t will take sSoo and In another it will take $500 worth of property?
 MT. ColemanI don't think that.
 The President--The Chair will sug- sest 10 the gentleman from Greene that the question is on the adoption or the amendment reported by the Com mittee.
 MT. Coleman-I move it's adoption. tion. HueS-
