commissioners for Guilford county, APP
pointing w. c. Boren and James David
son. Ordered enrolled.
At this juncture q. message was received
from the Senate announcing that at the
hour of twelve it would meet in joint SEES
sion with the House TO canvass the re-
turns of the election of State officers.
ENROLLING OFFICE.
Senate Bill relating to the enrolling
office in the Secretary of States office
was taken up 1t provides for additional
typewriters and an assistant clerk to be
known as Enrolling Clerk.
Mr. Graham objected to this bill being
considered off-hand. 1t was of great i'm
portance and should go before the
Finance Committee for investigation and
report
Mr.. Lucas strongly objected to any de-
lay, by sending this bill to a committee.
He paid a high tribute to Secretary of
State Grimes, and thought the fact that
he recommended the bill was a good ar
gument, not only for reference, but
economy.
Mr.. Blount said the only question with
him, was, was this bill everything it
should be? His impression was that 1t
greatly increased the number of officers
and employees. He desired a chance TO
inform himself, and was opposed to hav-
ing any such important legislation rail
roaded through the House. If il was all
right, its promoters need not fear in
Vestigation.
Messrs. Smith and Doughton also
spoke in favor of a reference.
At this point, Messenger announced
the approach of the Senate, and further
proceedings were suspended.
JOINT SESSION.
The Senators being seated the roll was
called President Turner and Speaker
Gattis presiding. A majority being
present, the body proceeded to count the
vote, as returned by the State Board
of Elections for the various State Of
fcers and declared the result.
Senators Mclaughlin and Crisp, for
the Senate and for the House Represen-
tatives Watts and Benbow were appoint
ed as tellers.
Judge Graham announced that Hon. G.
TX. %
of Public Instruction Of Georgia, was in
the House. Upon motion he was invited
to make an address, pending the count
ing of the returns.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Glenn's re-
marks, the tellers announced the vote
for the various officers, and the result
being declared, on motion of Mr.. Dough
ton, the joint session adjourned.
The House proceeding to the regular
course of business, and the bill relating
to enrolment coming up, Mr.. Lucas
said he took the position he did by re-
quest of Secretary of State Grimes; that
he had no idea it would be antagonized,
and that he himself thought it should be
referred. He felt satisfied the bill, as it
was was in the interest of economy, but
no harm could come of its being thor
oughlv examined by committee. The
bill was then referred to the Committee
on Finance.
