There is an old formula in philosophy
which says that no two things can oc-
cupy the same place a. the same time.
As simple illustration. drive nail in
70 board and you viii find with every
stroke of the hammer. the nail will force
aside the PARTICLES Of wood into which it
IS being driven, finally making place
for itself, and proving that the nail and
the wood do not occupy the same place

have credit on their time when sem fenced on conviction.
 There was some opposition to a sem ate bill by MT. Spencer which amends section 5506 of the code relating to gv- ing notice of employment of laborers. The bill enables the employer to pro- tect his contracts with laborers by filing notice with the probate judge. It is pretty tight sort of a law. and MT. Rogers. who Is a large employer of la Dor, opposed 1t on the ground of being too tight. It tended to make serfs of the poor. and especially dishonest man could prevent a laborer from procuring employment from others than himself by giving the notice provided by the bill

THE HOUSE.

The short session of the house was rendered notable by the introduction of a bill by so conservative a man as MT. Schuessler of Chambers. to require the commissioner of agriculture to at once purchase ten thousand bushels of seed corn for distribution free in the drouth- stricken sections of the state. MT. Schuessler was for many years one of the largest advancing merchants in the state. doing business at Lafayette, and retired only last year with competency. He knows as much about the conditions in the country as any man in Alabama, and the fact that he thinks the situa- tion so serious as to call for free seed in sections of the state, is rather alarm ing The general public has known the situation to be bad, but no one here had thought of it as having come to the pass indicated by MT. Schuessler's bill
 Bank Bill.
 MT. Fletcher, the Huntsville capitalist and banker, introduced a bank examin- ing bill this morning which Is of im- portance to bank men everywhere. MT. Starr of Dallas. also introduced q bill on the subject, but MT. Fletcher's seems to be most complete as scheme of law on the subject. His bill creates state bank ing department, under the general super vision of the auditor, who is to appoint the examiner or examiners with the ap- proval of the governor. The examiner is to be paid by the banks examined at the following schedule of rates:
 Banks with capital and surplus under $25,000, at the rate of $15; between s25- 900 and s5O.OO0 at s25; between s50,OO0 and

THE SENATE.

On call of the districts in the senate MT Bullock introduced a bill which con tracts the corporate limits of the town of Russelville by taking from them the portion of section 20, township 6. range H. now included. It Is interesting as the first bill since reconstruction times to draw in city lines. that process having been frequent after 1874 to cut out negro voters.
 MT. Goldsby introduced a bin providing for the election of a solicitor in Mobile county every six years beginning In No- vember, 1904 and fixing his salary at 800 per month, to be paid out of the county treasury.
 MT. Spencer introduced a bill providing a clerk for the state board of examiners of teachers, to be paid s250 day out of the fees of teachers.
 resolution was favorably reported from the rules committee requiring the enrolling and expressing clerk and her assistant, in addition to their routine work, to enroll and engross at least 40O0 words per day. their pay being s4 per day. All work they cannot do is to be done by outside persons at the rate of 15 cents per 1000 words. The resolution was adopt ed and President Pro Tem. Goldsby an nounced that he would see to it's enforce ment.
 Joint Committee on Recess.
 The president pro tenn announced the joint committee on recess on the part of the senate as follows: Messrs. Dunn, Hall and Spraggins. It is not easy to ascer- tain just what strength the movement for a recess has developed. The moving cause to a recess is the codlncation of the statutes, which cannot be accom- plshed unless there is adjournment for some months.
 The house bill making 1t q felony for any bank officer to take money or other thing of value on deposit after he knows the bank to be insolvent. was passed.
 The, senate passed bill of some i'm portance to county officers At this time their bondsmen have a lien on their prop erty and they cannot sell 1t. The bill passed today. which was urged by Gen. eral Harrison. allows the officer to make a bond in double the tax value of the property as indemnity to the bondsmen and then he can sell the property and make a good title.
 The senate also passed bill allow ing prisoners in jail to go ahead before conviction and work for the county, to
