to and c6fning from their. work or meetings. :
 An amendment to the bill regulat- ing remittanees by banks of the State of money collected on drafts with bills of lading attached, was adopted so as to except from It's provisions bills of lading for cotton. The bill as passed forces the collecting bank to wait three days before remitting or until the arrival of the goods covered by the bill of lading.
 There was no opposition to the bill whatever.
 The House passed the John bill which gives to all towns and cities the oppor- tunity of strengthening their credit in substantially, the following way:
 The municipality when issuing bonds may have them registered with the State treasury and this snail have the effect of giving the State Auditor the right to order the tax assessor of the county in which, the municipality lies to levy on the taxable property of the latter sufficiently to pay interest on such bonds when in arrears for six months or more, and on request of a tax payer of the municipality affected.
 It was explained that the law had worked great good in Selma. The bill would not operate in towns and cities where the constitutional tax limit has been levied.
 The bill of MT. Stollenwerck. of Montgomery, was passed, amending Section 4335 of the code So as to pro- vide fee of 50 cents for the garnishee in courts of justices of the peace.
 The bill of MT. Vann, of Henry Coun- ty, to throw safeguards around the farmers in the purchase of grain seed. provoked much discussion. There was a fear expressed among many members that the bill would work hardships. For this MT. Pitts, of Perry, MT. Smith. of Fillmore, and Mir. McCrory. of Cone cuh. took them to task.
 You are trying to laugh the bill out of existence" said Mir. McCrory, ''as if 1t is an unusual or. maybe, an impossl- ble thing for 90 per cent of grain to ~germinate. I tell you, gentlemen, that 99 per cent of seed grain should be ex- pected to germinate under normal con- ditTonA"
 The House passed the bill over until this morning.
 By passing the Hoffman bill the House so amended Section 6049 as to extend the bail of prisoners so as to apply up to the time of the actual yer dict of the jury. At present the bail privilege ceases when the case goes to the jury and the prisoner may be put in jail pending the deliberation of the jury.
 The House adjourned to s:so o'clock this morning.
