fnon.ous as this. The meeting OF the

THE GOVERNING RULES.
atcr the allotted time for the election
nf the two presidents. Mr.. Abbott, acting
: chairman of the joint meeting, again
called the members together to CONSIDER
ihefrules as prepared by the committee.
These rules were completed last We'd
i hesdav night, and a copy sent to each
member. SO shat he might familiarize
himself with them before coming TO the
meeting Mr. ]. r. Perdue raised the
Erst objection In section Of the rules 1t
was worded after the fashion OF the
Richmond rules. That the president OF
either body should have power to correct
The minutes Mr.. Perduc contended that
t!,is was unlimited power placed in the
aands of the presidents. and while he
hid not mean To reflect anything upon
fhen, it was n fact that should this sec
lion stand, tho president could come To
The clerk and change even one word IN
!he minutes making them read entirely
tifferent. He had not seen the rules be
fore coming to the meeting he said, and
therefore wanted to read them all over
Ind reserve the right TO vote against
pny section when Il came up in the board.
Mr. w. =. bradley. who was member
OF the Committee on Rules, as was Mr..
Perdue, made a Very char2 talk after
this objection OF Mr.. Perdue. Mr.. Brad
aey said that he had attended the meet
1ags OF the committee. and had worked
over the rules. He therefore did not
propose to have the whole of them read
byer for Mr.. Pcrdue's benefit when he
6hould have either read them when they
were sent to his house or attended the
meetings
Several members replied to this and the
result was that the meeting was kept
In session until a late hour arguing the
E,nsstion OF whether 10 read the Whole
of the rules or adopt from rs recommend

snent regarding the president having I'M
