Friday.

the floor of the house last night and
the crowded gallaries heard the lie
pass between T. Yaucey Williams and
". J. johnson. It came up just
after the memorial of the old state
house commission was read.
Mr.. j. O. Patterson, of BarnWell,
who is member of tho recent COM
mission, stated that none OF the
members had any desire to reti ct
upon the old commission. Mr. Balm
ger mentioned one night at the hotel
that be desired to be heard if there
would be any reflection on nim.
Mr. Yaucey Williams, who is also
a member of the recent commission,
stated practically the same thing.
Mr.. Aull said the question was one
of simple justice and that the mem
bers of the old commission had asked
for hearing, which in his judgement,
should be granted.
MIR. D. D. Mccall, Jr, wanted to
endorse every word of the finding OF
the new commission.
Mr.. W. J. johnson, of Fairfield,
who is a member of the old commits
sion and who helped to prepare the
memorial, arose for the purpose of
addressing the house. Mr.. johnson
said that whatever might be the
purpose of the commission the fact
remained that their names had been
tarnished. He mentinned the names
of the old commission and asked the
house if they thought they would be
guilty of anything dishonorable. He
said he had asked for hearing.
Mr.. Williams asked if he Mr.. John
sony had asked him.
Mr.. johnson stated that he had
asked MIR. Robinson.
Mr.. Sobinson said that he had not.
Mr.. johnson refused to yield to
further questions. He said his
opinion of the finding of the recent
commission could not be couched in
parliamentary language and the state
ment that it was not intended to
iniure members Of the old commission
twas falsehood."
Mr.. Willisms-Do you mean that
for me-?
Mr.. Johnson-If the cap fits you
wear it.
As soon as Mr. johnson concluded
his remarks Mr. Williams arose. He
was quite cocl and his voice was
steady.
s'Mr. Speaker" he said, ''if any one
says that the report Of the commits
sion of which I am a member desired
to injure member Of the old COM
mission, he lies. .
"Do you mean me?" said Mr..
johnson; but the reply was lost in
the uproar and the rapping Of the
speaker for order.
For two minutes Speaker Smith
refused to recognize anyone and then
Mr.; Aull obtained the floor. He
managed to calm things down some
what and repeated his request for a
hearing.
MIR. Moses had moved that the
resolution be received as information,
but MIR. Aull had prepared another,
asking the appointment of FIVE mem
bers of the house and two of the
senate to take testimony in the
hearing and report at once.
Mr.. CASTOR wanted the matter
referred to a committee for rehear-
ing.
A little later Mr.. Williams arose
and stated:
"Mr. Speaker, I desire to apologize
to the house, not to the gentleman,
for my language used awhile ago"
Mr.. johnson also apologized to the
house
p Saturday.
The senate today put itself on
record as favoring an additional
number of circuits. As to whether
there shall be four or ten as two bills
