 So the moticn to table was carried. MT. Browne-I now move the previ- ous question upon the amendment off, fered by the gentleman from Jefferson, and upon the original section as re- ported by the committee. Mir. O'Neal-I ask the gentleman to withdraw his Cmotion. There are sev- eral gentlemen who have amendments which they ought to have an oppor- tunfty to present.
 Mir. deGreffenried-I move to lay the | amendment of the gentleman from Jeff | ferson and the section as reported by the committee upon the table, and upon that call for the ayes and noes. MT. Lowe (Jefferson)-I move that we | do now adjourn.
 The President-The gentleman from Talladega moves the previous ques- tion upon the amendment offered by the | gentleman from Jefferson, and the sec tion as reported by the committee. Thereupon the gentleman from Hale moves to lay upon the table the amend ment offered by the gentleman from l Jefferson, and the section as reported | by the committee. Thereupon the gen. I tleman from Jefferson moves that this Convention do now adjourn. As many as favor the motion to- adjourn will | say aye: those opposed will say no. And the motion to adjourn was lost. The President-The question recurs | upon the motion to table. The ayes and noes have been demanded and the question is. is the call sustained? The requisite number of members stood up.
 Mir. Coleman (Greene)-I ask for a | division of the question, if it can be 1 done.
 The President-The call for the ayes | and noes Is sustained. Mir. Coleman (Greene)-I call for a division of the question. The President-The chair will state l that this question was ruled by the chair contrary to the right for di- | vision, but upon further reflection and investigation, the chair is of the opinion that in everything the request for | division, the chair was in error. The | chair will reverse the former ruling, | and rule that the division Is in order.
 The first question will be upon the | motion to table the amendment offered by the gentleman from Jefferson.
 The chair will state he finds 1t laid down by MT. Cushing in his Law of the Practice of Legislative Assemblies, that a division may be had upon motion to table, where the motion to table relates to more than one sepa- rate and distinct proposition. The question is first upon the motion to 1 lay upon the table the amendment or- 1 fered by the gentleman from Jefferson, to the section as reported by the Com mittee on Taxation.
 MT. Brooks-I rise to make the point of order that the motion to divide mas | reference to pending resolutloh' | wherever the sense will admit Of It, l hut on A motion to table two resolu- tions, it does not mean division or the question; that is 8 separation or the two motions. which Is altogether oi- | ferent thing. ,.
 The President-Mr. Cushing lays it | down that where a motion to table con- | tains two propositions, an original 1 prouosition and an amendment to the | proposttion that it is in order to nave | A vote upon each in their order so | the question is upon the motion to ta- ble the amendment offered by the gen tleman from Jefferson, and upon that the ayes and noes are called for' ana the call has been suStdlheo' .
 MT. Graham Cralladega)-I call for the reading of the amendment.
 The amendment was again read. MT. Graham Cralladega)-I would like to have 1t read in connection with the section which it proposes to amend.
 The section and the amendment were read. - .r,
