 Another bill that was killed in the same manner was that by Abercrombie of Saline providing for the working of the convicts on the roads of the state. The bill has been pushed by the Coco Roads Association and the Farm CTS Union and passed both hous- es by almost unanimous votes. out amendments were tackled on in the Senate that the house re- fused to concur in. Last week the Senate adjourned early in the day to prevent the bill from be ing called up, and by dilatory tactics the measure was shelved.
 The Cloud bill for the repeal of the Lee anti-jug law passed the Senate by large vote, but the house refused to sus pend the rules for it's third read ing by few votes and the meas ure died The Milan bill for the eXempting of Garland county from the provisions of the Amis anti i-bettingla lawand the Harrison bill for the raising of the salaries of the circuit judges were killed in the same way. The Glover bill, apprOpriating S50,000 for the es- tabhshment of an agricultural school in the state. had the dis tinction of being the only meas ure that died by veto. The capi. tol appropriation bill was killed outright in the house, and the Senate did not even have a chance to look at it.
