Cone Resolution Lost.
Under the bills on third reading
was the famous Cone resolution, pro
viding the appointment of a commit
tee to visit and investigate the former
University building at Lake City and
report was brought up. creating a
warm controversy both for and
against the passage of the resolution.
Mr.. Knight of Columbia moved to
substitute House concurrent resofu-
ton No. 10, by Mr. Cone, for House
concurrent resolution No. II, by Mr..
Rowe Of Madison, both relating to an
inspection of the University property
at Lake City.
The motion received 20 ayes and
rs nays on the roll call, and was
declared lost The question then re-
Cured to the adoption Of House con-
current resolution No17. Mr.. Rowe
moved the adoption Of the resolution.
Mr. Matthews of Marion made
poetic comparison Of the assassination
Of Caesar with the resolution. Mr..
Rowe raised a point OF order which
was not sustained Mr. Matthews
commended the Buchanan law,
and opposed any move looking toward
the re-estabIishment Of any OF the
state colleges eir. Willis
Of Gadsden couldn't see any harm in
the States property. !
Mr. Wells Of Leon read the report
of the State Board Of Education upon
the matter and thought II this board
could not get $4,000 for the property, |
and If the board had the right to
dispose Of the property 1t would not !
be necessary to investigate.
Mr.. Wartmann of Marion vigorous
" opposed the resolution and thought \
The Legislature should sustain the ac-
lion OF the Board OF Education and
he Board of Control.
Mr., knight of Columbia said the
Legislature was investigating every.

gentleman Of Marion was In the fore

RS and attorneys and accountants
Ind everything else under the sun to

some people seemed to think the
