 WILL NUT BE PUSHED

 Code Bills
GUNTER IS CONTAMINATED
An Important Bill Yet to Be consid. cred by the Senate Is the Neeotl- able Instruments Measure.
 School Consolidation.

Montgomery. July 2L-(Special. )-There is an impression that the mining bill about which there had been much talk. for the past two weeks, will not be push i ed in the present session. Chairman Block of the committee which has had it in charge said tonight that he was not giving himself any worry about it. though Colonel John of the Jefferson l delegation, said that he was going to rouse 1t at the first opportunity. There will be a recall of the school supervision idea in the house next week. 1t Is understood, when the Kirby bill is taken up for passage. This bill has ,n its provisions the possibility of superin- tendence betterment and some of the leaders of the house are expected to get in behind it. Speaker Carmichael, who is very much impressed with the propo- sition, will likely take the floor in sup port of the measure. All the school forces wi. also help and 1t may be that some thing will come of it.
 Lusk a Worker.
 Senator Lusk who was out for the scalps of several of the members of the urper house last night is quietly today working out a special calendar in the senate to get up for passage at the four days to be held next week. He takes a pride in hard work and one rarely ever fails to find him about the capitol busy on some of the duties of the legislative bodies. He is very glad that it Is almost time to go home. Long absence from the sweetening breezes of the hills of Marshall have made him long for their delights and he will get back in the shade of the trees with more than ordinary pleasure.
 With the few changes well known to all the municipal code bill has been passed by both houses and has been signed by the governor. The result has been tc bring down many compliments upon the men who have gotten it up. Chairman Gunter is held to be due great credit for his untiring work and every member of the committee with him. It Is not generally known that they had right to work only twenty days, that being the only time for which they could oraw pay. They did work twice that length of time, however, paying their own expenses for the overtime.
