PREPARING
FOR EXTRA
SESSION

Tho convening Of the extraordinary
session of the legislature is due In just a
month from today and the sheriffS OF
the various counties are busy serving the
notices on the assembiymen. The reason
Tor the extra session given by Gov. l..
r. c. Garvin is that several important
matters were passed without action at
the last session, and this extraordinary
session will give all the time necessary for
there consideration.
There is considerable amount of talk
IN relation TO the matter among the Re-
publican members. some OF whom seem TO
think the proper course would be TO ad-
journ after reading OF the governors
message.
How this course would fit In with the
belief that they profess to have that gov
ernor's act is the reverse OF COURTEOUS 10
the assembly.
There will be a caucus OF the Republican
members TO decide upon the course to be
taken. held soon, II has been stated, and
though the date has not been decided
upon, Il will undoubtedly be couple OF
days before The session.
There have been three other extra
ordinary sessions of the legislature called.
Il has been ascertained. by an investiga-
tion OF the history OF the state.
Two OF these occasions were during
me Civil war, when the asSemblymen
were called together by Gov. William
epraeue. 10 take action toward sending
out troops to the defence of the country.
and, second, 10 decide concerning the
bounty TO be paid for enlistments.
In 1876 there was a special session called
by Gov Henry Lippitt TO decide on the
qualification OF a presidential elector,
George p. Corliss. which had been called
into question.
