He hoped the gen. rleman would learn with advancing years that people could differ with him and still be honest. His remarks were greeted with prolonged applause from all parts of the House and from the gallery.
 Measure Finally Passes Through.
 MT. Gunter of Montgomery was in favor of the bill in its. present form, though he had opposed it in its orig inal form. He conceded, however, that ment on both sides of the House were honest in their belief. He thought the measure was an excellent one, and one that would reflect credit on the Legislature. Mir.
