The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-08-07

only a minute to propouHu 4uestiOn. The President-The gentleman from | Monroe has the floor.
 MT. Barefeld-I yield to the gentle | man from Montgomery to ask ques- l ton and ask that he will renew the motion for the previous question. Mir. Oates-I will yeld the floor back | to you. MT. President, 1t seems to me | that the retention of the circuit solici- | tor system and the system of the coun- | ty solicitors makes the thing entirely | topheavy and we are fixing 1t in the | Constitution so that this State Is to be overwhelmed with solicitors. Why | not, If 1t it he necessary to establish and. maintain county solicitors, why not abolish circuit solicitors and have | county solicitors. It seems to me 1t | would be economy. 1t looks like 1t is | demonstrated a county solicitor Is nec- l eesary for they have deputies every | where. and why not then have county | solicitors and at the end of the term dispense with circuit solicitors? l would like to hear from the Committee on Judiciary in answer. It is incur ring a great deal of expense to the people of the State, much greater than | is justified. I merely call for an ex- | planation.
 MT. Barefield-I am requested by the
  | to request unanimous consent to &C., | cept my amendment.
 The President-The gentleman from Madison asks unanimtts 1T, consent to accept the amendment ofeten by the | gentleman from Monroe. 4dt t1ar o
 Mir. Barefeld-I yield to the gentle man from Talladega.
 Mir. Hefiin (Chambers)-I move to lay both amendments on the table.
 VI-1 man from Monroe yielded to me before the gentleman from Chambers made his motion. and he canrtt take my time to do 1t.
 The President-The gentleman from Chambers had the floor and yielded to the gentleman from Monroe. The gen. | tleman from Monroe seems to parcel out his time very much to his own mo- tion. Now, who does the gentleman from Monroe desire to be recognized? Gaughter).
 no favoritism You may recognize | whoever you please.
 Mir. Reese-I rise to a point of order that the gentleman from Chambers has moved to table both amendments.
 The President-The only motion that l has been made was the motion TOT the previonus question upon the previous section as amended and pending amendments. and the gentleman from Monroe seems to have withdrawn that in some way. It was made by the gentleman from Chambers. Mir. Hehin. My agreement with him was that he would renew 1t before he yielded the floor.
 MT. Reese-I rise to point of order. I desire to state 1t. The gentleman from Chambers. after the gentleman from Monroe had parcelled out the floor and abandoned the floor as the Chair ruled. the gentleman from Cham bers made a motion to table both amendments. and I insist upon that motion. -
 The President-The gentleman did not get recognized to make that motion because the gentleman from Monroe yielded to the gentleman from Talla- deea. and the Chair recognized the gentleman from Talladega.
 Mir. Graham CTalladega)-I do not know the exact status of this question now with the minority report adopted and several amendments pending to that. but I do know one thing. gentte- ment. there has not been duHhs tne | whole session of this Convention sucn an open and outrageous attempt 10 push down the report of the committee an a nroposition There has been no time allowed for debate.
