 During the roll call:-
 MT. Burns-I rise to point of in- formation.
 The President-The gentleman will state the point of inquiry. Mir. Burns-I want to know whether under that substitute or that amend ment if l could buy a thousand mile ticket for ten cents, would that be an offense?
 The President-The chair is not an expert on that department of railroad management.
 Mir. Hefiin (Chambers)-I was not in when the amendment was read. I un- derstand it includes all city officers and the military of the State. It is too far-reaching, and l therefore vote no. Mir. LomaX-On this question I am paired with the gentleman from Law renee, MT. Almon. If he were present, I am informed, he would vote no and l would vote aye. MT. Rogers (Sumter)-I am paired with MT. Williams from Marengo. If he were present. he would vote no and I would vote aye. MT. White-I move to reconsider the vote whereby the previous question was called on this measure with a view of offering this amendment. The President-The motion to recon sider is not in order after the previous question has been ordered. MT. White--I desire to call the atten- tion of the chair to the fact that mo- tion to reconsider is always in order, except under the rules where the main question has been passed upon, and then 1t is postponed until the next day. but where a subsidiary question is dis | posed of, a motion to reconsider Is in order at any time. The President-I will refer to the rules. When a vote has passed. ex- cept on the previous question, or on | motion to lay on the table, or to take | from the table, it shall be in order for any delegate who voted with the ma jority to move reconsideration there of on the same day, or within the morn | ing session of the succeeding day, and such motion, if made on the same day. shall be considered immediately after the approval of the journal on the day succeeding that on which 1t is made; but if first moved on such succeeding day, it shall be forthwith considered; and when a motion for reconsideration | Is decided that decision shall not be reeonsidered, and no question shall be | twice reconsidered. A motion to re- consider vote upon any incidental or subsidiary question, shall not remove | the main subject under consideration | from the house, but shall be considered at the time when it Is made. The rule the gentleman refers to re- l lates to the time for the consideration of the motion to reconsider, but the question goes back of that, that mo- | tion Is not in order to reconsider a
 vote whereby the previous question had been ordered, because in the first in- stance when a vote has passed, except on the previous question, motion may be made to reconsider. No vote to re- consider can be made under the rules
 where the previous question has been | ordered.
 MT. White-I move a suspension of the rules in order that that motion may be made. I desire to introduce an amendment which simply covers mem
 bers of the Legislature.
 MT. Long (Walker)-I rise to point
 of order. The gentleman didn't vote
 with the majority. He got up to
 change his vote, but didn't do it. | MT. White-That was not the ques-
 ton. We were voting on the amend
 ment I did vote with the minority on
 that amendment, but l voted with the
 majority when the previous question | was ordered.
 The Presidential seeems to the Chair
 that the gentleman is in order to make | the motion.
 Mir. White-Now call for the ayes
 and noes on that.
 The Presidential is moved to suspend
 the rules for the purpose of reconsid- l ering the action whereby the previous
 question was ordered. The ayes and
 noes are called for. Is the call sus- l tained?
 Mir. Hinson-I rise to question of
 information. Is the motion to recon
 sider the vote whereby the previous | question was ordered upon hoth the
 amendment and the section?
 Mr. deGraffenreid-Yes. sir.
 MT. O'Neal--It opens the whole sec | tion for amendment.
 The call for the ayes and noes was
 sustained and the result of the roll call
 was as follows: -.>' | AYES | Banks. Malone, | Bartlett, Martin, | Reddow, Merrill. | Boone. Miller (Marengo), | Brooks Miller (Wilcox). | Burns Moody. | Chapman, Murphrees | Cobb Norman. | Co,eman, of Greene NorwoodA
