 In addition to the final disposition of the two highway bills, the house voted, 4S to 24, against the abolition of the state law enforcement depart ment. The question came up on a motion of J. A. Carnley of Coffee to take the bill from the adverse ;alen- dar His motion was tabled. Dur ing the discussion of the motion J. Lee Long of Butler charged that the department was created for the en- forcement of law, but instead had gone oyer the state violating the laws. He pleaded with the house to acknowledge that it erred in the passage of the bill by voting to re- peal the act.
 Robert L. Scale of Sumter lefend- ed the department, declaring that the fight for its abolition was the same Told fight against law enforcement. He said the repeal of the law creat- ing the department would be back ward step.
