argument, which he~is trying to fol-

oT~er-zealcus senator Calls for the ayes
and nays upon the question when there
is evidence of a considerable differ

Tenth District Legislation.
Although several bills of interest
to the Tenth district have been intro
duced during the past week. few have
been ratified. The most OF those In
troduced since the converting Of the
General Assembly have had favorable
reports from the committees of the
house in which they were introduced
and it is highly probable that there
will be nothing to block their passage.
Senator Aliens bills on the dog
law, fishing, and the creating Of an
auditors Office in Henderson county
passed the Senate without any trouble
and were sent to the House Monday.
The Auditors bill as introduced ap-
pears in another coulmn Of this paper
and makes very interesting reading
matter as it is considered that the bill
will eventually mean a saving to the
county financially and will tighten the
work of some of the officials.
Following is a list of bills that have
passed the House of Representatives

week without any hitch astthey are of
a local nature and the senator's from
the districts which they affect will
doubtless be able to steer them
through without striking any snags:
