 Review Bill.
 The Senate sent a message to the House announcing the passage of the revenue bill with certain unimportant amend ments. The House concurred In the amendments and recessed until p. m. At the afternoon session the Governors veto messages were received and acted upon.
 The Governor sent seven veto mes- sages to the House.
 The first read was vetoing H. B. 1909, to regulate the sale of spirituous or vim ous liquors In Tallapoosa County. He said the bill was in direct controvention of the general law, and he could see no reason for this. Besides, it was an at tempt to suspend a general law for the benefit of individuals.
 Executive Vetoes.
 The next message announced the exec utive veto of H. B. 979 to provide for the refunding of taxes improperly paid to the State. He said that the provisions of the bill were of far-reaching conse- quences and placed the matter of refund Ing taxes paid to the State in the hands of commissioners courts or other courts of like Jurisdiction. Such courts were au- thorized to hear and determine whether or not taxes had been improperly paid, without any restriction, and then re- quired the auditor on the certificate of such court to draw his warrant in favor of such person for the refunding of the taxes. The bill was a departure from the long practice in the State, and his ob jection was interposed.

 House bill 1877, providing for the work ing of State convicts on the public roads in Limestone County, met with the same fate as did House bill 1869, providing for
 
 Company. This company had not met the statutory requirements of paying a fee into the State treasury.
 The House concurred in the Senate amendment to S. B. 261, fixing salaries the mine inspectors. The bill makes the salary of the chief inspector sl.5OO and the assistants at $1,20O each.
 The Senate.
 The Senate took up the revenue bill inn mediately after meeting this morning. Senator Meador managed the fight for the measure and he pressed 1t through very rapidly.
 There were several amendments to the bill adopted which were of minor impor- tance.
 Mir Dunn secured an amendment fix ing the license on persons engaged solely In the business of buying cotton at $lC per annum.
 MT. Morrow moved to strike out section 71h, relating to social clubs of men.
