Mr.. Richards: Don't you believe
if we sent this bill to the senate, that
the senate would pass it," T....> :
Mr.. Rucker: "No, sir, don't be-
lieye a legislature elected on a local
option platform will attempt to force
any such thing on the people,
Mr.. Richards declared he and 9TH
ers had some days ago voted for pro-
hibition bill. Since that time he was
again satisfied that rather than have
such nefarious law as the Carey
Cothran bill there would be prohi-
bition law for the whole state. He
denounced the Carey-Cothran bill as
worse than high license There were
sixteen prohibition counties now, and
yet the prohibition counties will not
support, prohibition bill. Mr.. Rich
ards made vigorous and impassioned
appeal for prohibition against the
Carey-Cothran bill. He declined to
have his time extended when the five
minutes limit had expired, though
several members arose to move extern
sion.
Mr.. Scruggs, Of Chesterfield, said
he wanted to blow little about Ches-
terrified, and he recounted the glories
of his county. Chesterfield he said,
was opposed to local option and favor
ed the >tate dispensary conducted on
business principles. Personally, he
was a prohibitionist. The newspap-
ers had belittled those members who
voted for prohibition few days ago.
He was able to take care Of himself,
but he feared the county newspapers
would take up the "me-too' cry.
Mr. Wallace moved to adjourn de-
bate until Saturday, and there were
motions upon top of motions, but Mr..
Wallace withdrew his motion.
The Rev. Mr.. Mann asked the Rev.
Mr.. ,Scruggs if Mr. Scruggs had not
been elected on state disepnsary
platform.
The Rev. Mr.. Scruggs said he was,
but was elected more on a prohibition
platform. =
Mr.. Mann then came into the centre
aisle and proceeded to speak upon the
bill. He declared very forcefully that
this bill was brought up now only to
confuse the issue and there was moth
ing to be accomplished by it. .'He made
a sensible talk, whicIshad it's effect.
Mr.. McMaster moved to continue
the bill. This cut off debate, and the
yeas any nays were called. The bill
was continued, and therefore killed,
by vote Of 5S to 4S, as follows:
