Among the bills reported from CON-
| mittees when the House met yester-
day, were the Senate bills allowing a
vote In Bannlstcr district Halifax
county, on the establishment OF dis
pensaries at South Boston and Hous-
ton.
Mr.. Myers rose to a question OF per-
aonal privilege. On the day before,
he and Mr.. Fitzhugh had been appoint
! cd committee to Investigate the
question of tho food supply and cold
storage. This. he said. was an i'm
rortant work. and 1t would perhaps
be necessary for tho committee to in
cur expense, which was not provided
for in the resolution. He did not wish
to say that he would serve. even II
| there were remuneration, but the
Commonwealth should not be put in
| the position of asking hcr citizens to
| give their time and labor for nothing
Mr.. Fitzhugh did not make a public
explanation. but later said that he
concurred in Mr.. Myers's remarks.

olution was adopted permitting the
clerk OF the House to employ two
| proofreaders for the remainder of tho

a motion was adopted. offered by
Mr.. Yarrell. for the calling of local
and uncontested bills on their third
reading. to be followed by the call OF
| other House bills on their third read
Ing Mr.. Deal offered an amendment
that no member should speak. for this
one day, longer than ten minutes on q
contested measure.
Mr.. Cox opposed this. He did not
want to see the members of the House
gagged. II he or any one else abused
the patience Of tho House by speaking
too long. he was responsible to his
constituents and not to the House.
There were many important bills,
sion If the people OF the State sent
men to the Legislature to vote me-
chemically, they could rent voting ma
chimes for less money, he held.
Mr.. Pendleton later got back at the
member from Richmond by saying
that the people might send lot of
talking machines Instead OF those who
wished to prolong discussions.
