members 1 know" daughter by the
house, Mr.. Barrett Joining. Got any
more questions you want to ask?' Mr..
Hall added.
Mr.. Heard of Dooly, spoke against the
bill
Mr.. Porter of Floyd, spoke for 1t.
ct am In doubt whether 1 am going
to be Influenced more by oratory than
by fears" said he, referring to the efo-
quence preceding him.
MR.. PORTER'S OBJECTION.
Mr. Porter argued that because the APP
preparation Is asked in a bill of which
Mr.. Vinson, of the county that the school
is located In. is the author, 1t cannot be
construed as a local measure. The ap-
preparation interests the whole state, he
said, recalling Mr. Wilson'S statement
that there were only three pupils from
Baldwin county in the school last term.
The industrial feature of the school was
praised by Mr.. Porter, who lauded the
fame of the school.
II understand that the gentleman from
Bibb will be a candidate for governor two
years hence" said he, land then we will
have a man in the governors chair who
says he will be standing ready to veto
every appropriation that doesn't look nee
essary, but the old state will rock along
just the same"
Mr.. Porter charged that Mr.. Halls view
has become chronic, though he said he
regards the gentleman from Bibb as the
safest balance wheel that the house has
ever had.
Mr.. Davis Of Dougherty spoke for the
measure. Mr.. Brown OF Murray started
to speak against 1t, referring to a mat
ter in the committee on appropriations
meeting when the superintendent of the
Georgia Normal and Industrial school de-
clined to report to the state school COM
missioner, but Mr.. Moss of Cobb made
the point of order that committee affairs
could not be referred to on the floor of
the house. And the point was sustained
Mr.. Evans of Bib spoke against the
appropriation. Mr.. White of Screven
spoke against 1t.
PESTERED BY LOBBYISTS.
Mr.. White charged that lobbyists for
this and other special measures have
pestered the members OF the house al
most to the point of desperation, and
predicted that If affairs do no mend
there will really be a candidate for gov
ernor some day, with the appropriations
veto plank in his platform.
The committee OF the whole house
decided to report the bill back to the
house with the recommendation that 1t
do pass.
Mr.. Lewis, OF Hancock, Immediately
after Speaker Holder resumed the
chair, moved the previous question, and
1T avs so ordered.
Mr.. Alexander, as chairman OF the
committee of the whole house, was al
lowed - minutes for discussion of the
measure. He gave three minutes to Mr..
Moss, of Cobb, who argued strongly
for the bill, and then addressed himself
eloquently to the question. He con-
cluded his speech at 1850 o'clock, when
the call of the roll commenced.
REID EXPLAINS VOTE.
MIR. Reid, of Campbell, chairman of
the ways and means committee, was
the only member who explained his
vote. Mr.. Reid voted no. lie said that
the special appropriations then pending
would undo all that the house accom-
plished last year in holding down APP
proportions. The legislature then ac-
complished a gain of over 100000 in
the state liabilities, and yet we are
asked to vote ii all away and set the
site further behind TIM 1t was last
