Why and How The Senate Did.


Bare quorums were present at the
Saturday afternoon sessions of the
two branches of the legislature, and
the work was confined entirely to
local and private Legislation. ..
The only feature of interest was
the indulgence in pointed personal
tiles between Senators Bilbo, and
Mcdonald during the consideration
of the Clarke bill repeating the Har-
rison county new court district
measure, and the bills creating the
new counties of George and Walt
hall.
The debate between the two south
Mississippi members was rather a.
crimonious and at one time reached
the direct question of veracity.
Senator Bilbo was successful in
his effort to secure the defeat of the
Clarke bill, which had been passed
unanimously in the house and also
managed to get through the bills
creating the two proposed new
counties. AS. one of the acknowled-
ged leaders of the movement. to Sc
cure more adequate representation
in the legislature for south Mississ-
ippi, Mr.. Bilbo believes that he can
at least accomplish his object by
creating new counties, and there
seems to be no opposition on the
part of north Mississippi law. ma
kers (senate)to block his enterprise.
