SENATE TAKES SAFE SIDE.
The Senate transacted good deal of
business on Wednesday morning and
took vote on several important meas
ures, and then decided that on account
of the fact that it was pant of the
Joint Assembly which had taken re-
cess from the previous day, action
as separate body might be held ille-
gal, and it was decided that Wednes-
days calendar be replaced and made the
! calendar for Thursday
The questions upon which action was
taken were those of biennial sessions,
and child labor. Mr.. Marshalps Child
Labor Bill came up for second read
ing, and after good deal of discussion
1t was moved that the enacting words
| of the Bill be stricken out. The mo-
tlon was killed by vote of 90 to l3 and
the Bill ordered to third reading. Mr..
| Warren's Joint Resolution to amend the
Constitution so as to provide for ben-
NAL sessions was passed by vote of z9
to 6. The Raysor Compulsory Educa-
tion Bill was discussed and postponed.
While the Senate doubts the legality
of its action in these matters and AGAR
placed them on it's calendar today, yet
the votes taken yesterday are an index
of the views of the Senate, and any
further action will not change the stu
alton.
| Each house has given quite a numbe,
of Bills their third reading. Among
these is Mr. Kiblcr's Bill, the provis
ions of which have already been pub
lished, relating to the qualifications OF
County Superintendents of Education
Mr.. Kibler's Bill to regulate tn,
granting of certificates to teach in the
free public schools of the State ha.
been killed. The Bill provided tha
every applicant should stand an exami
nation, and was especially aimed at col
, lege graduates.
J Mr.. Forbes Bill providing hat ten
year conv'cts be sent to county chain
gangs has gone to third reading.
, The first debate in the Senate wa
provoked upon IA Bill to regulate traffi
, in cotton seed. The Bill will likely b,
passed.
, Senator Douglsss' Bill to amend tn,
law relating to stealing from the field
| created warm discussion in the House
The Bill provides that this crime shall
, come within the jurisdiction of magis
| trates, in order that farmers nav no

The House refused to kill the Bill ant
passed it to second reading.
