 therefore insisted on the original action | of the House.
 At his suggestion the first part of the report was temporarily passed over and
 the solicitorship amendment was taken
 up. He moved that the House refuse to | concur in the Senate amendment.
 Hoffman Spoke Pointedly. | MT Hoffman of Mobile. opposed the | motion to non-concur. Such action, he
 said, would probably endanger the bill.
 It was no time he said, for the House | to take up the time of the House in the
 consideration of a local matter. He said | he stood for the broad principle that an appontive Solicitor was preferable in populous counties. He understood that | two of the House members from Mont | gomery were for an appointive Solicitor | and two were against 1t. He intimated | that perhaps the political ambition of some man entered into the fight on the | floor of the House.
 MT Bankhead and Mir Lusk spoke for non-concurrence. They declared that the amendment was local matter affecting only Montgomery County. It was con- tended that the amendment had no place in a general bil,. MT. Lusk protested against what he described as an attempt to make a general bill of great import
  purely local nature.
 Mir. Maner of Montgomery announced that he favored an appolntive solicitor for his county. He had always thought that solicitors in populous counties should be appointed It would be the duty of the solicitor to prosecute a large class of criminals and in an election of any sort trades were often necessary.
 Gocdwyn Answered Hoffman.
 MT. Goodwin of Montgomery spoke for the Bankhead amendment He devoted most of his remarks in reply to Mir. Hoff- man. The House, he said, was always entertained by the sight of represen- tative from one county doing his best to | legislate local matters for another coun- | ty. It was not, he said, the first time that the gentleman from Mobile had ap- peared in that role. The question before the House was, he said. simple one | Shall the House allow the members from | Montgomery County to settle their own | questions? He said that two members of the House. perhaps three, favored an elective solicitor as did the Senator He said that Mir. Maner had introduced a | bill making the solicitor of Montgomery | appointve. but 1t had been almost unani- | mousy adversed He declared that the influence of one man in the Senate had injected this fight into the House and at tempted to thrust down the throats of the people of Montgomery thing they did not want
 The House adopted the Bankhead mo- ton, standing for an elective solicitor.
 Banking Bill Resumed.
 The consideration of the banking bill was then resumed.
 MT Lusk of Marshall offered an amend inent to the bill which had been under considerable at the morning session. His amendment provided that the State Ex- aminer should be appointed by the Gov ernor. It also provided that the results of the examination should be published in a newspaper published in the town where l the bank was located
 | Mir. Simpson of Lauderdale offered a substitute to the original bill. The sub stltute provided that the Bank Examiner should be appointed by the Governor in- stead of by the State Treasurer. It provided fur'h her. he said. that two ex- aminations ihstead of five should be made Mir BennSts of Jefferson said that the substitute Bad been agreed upon by the friends of &he original bill and some mem- bers whf& had been opposed to the first bill ,ifle substitute had been agreed upon h. these members Curing the recess
