 Sues of the State who need the aid of the State And. to take this step back ward causes more sorrow in my heart in legislative way than anything I ever did in my life.
 A few months ago there was a spe- cial train. made up of the private cars bf Boston andS New York and Pitts burg millionafres, who came to Ala bama to do good for the schools. Was 1t done to the country schools to give the poor white boy and girl an educa- tion7 No! Their money was taken, as tubs upon tubs of it has been taken be- fore. to be dumped over here at Tus- kegee. And it Is the same thing up here at Talladega. Q
 The ESing Cannot Be Wrong,
 ''Bnt as everything has been consid- cred and the Governor has carefully figured 1t out what can be given to each of the schools suppose that 1t must be.
 T am not here to oppose what Is given to any other school, though I would favor the common schools. Es- pecially would I not object to any ap- propriation for a school such as that at Montevallo. for when you educate a woman. you educate many generations to come; but when you educate man, 1t stops right there. (Applause)
 But especially want that man Conner, who fought the battle and won. to be permitted his own manner of con- ducting the affairs of State. It was he who led the fight in the last campaign, and 1t Is he who should have the say of affairs now"
 Mir. Rowe of Madison County. made a brief speech in support of the proposed substitute He was in favor of large appropriations for the schools, he said but he cautioned the members not to let their zeal run away with their bet ter Judgment. He pointed out that $500, 1000 additional for the schools each year was a great long step in the right direction. and with the increased reve- feel the schools would suffer.
 There being no further discussion of the question in sight, Mir. Martin re- newed his motion for the previous question, and the motion for reconsid- eration of Fridays vote prevailed, on roll call, 59 to 31, as given in detail above.
 Substitute fs Passed.
 Mir. Martin thereupon offered the substitute bill in the stead of the Tun- stall bill. as amended, and his motion for the substitution prevailed on roll calb S2 to 2. The substitute bill was then formally passed through the House, s4 to O..
