dragging along in the House for sew
eral weeks. no vote was secured until
Friday, The measure wac then called
and while only six votes were cast
against it, yet this was sufficient to
defeat the bill. The explanation of this
lies In the fact that the bill was an
amendment to the State Constitution
and therefore required two-thirds
majority in the House. The recent fill
buster served to get two things In the
lower house into such disorder and so
many members were absent from the
house when the bin came up for s. vote
that II was impossible to secure the
necessary majority. Messfg Nelson,
Hall and Scott voted for the bill, Mr..
Gray did not vote and Messrs. Ashley
and Summers voted against the bill.
Had the bill gone thrc some
thing like 100000 would lave been
turned loose in Anderson early next
Spring and hundreds OF laboring peo-
pie. who may be out of positions by
that time. would have been given

clared that the people Of that city had
no reason for treating his brother-in

race for state senator. and for this
reason he intended to use his influence
with Mr.. Summers against giving his
support to the Anderson measure. The
Governor declared also that II the

tend to let Anderson get anything II he
