Montgomery, October 12.--(Spe- cial. that the necessity for further sessions does not now ex- ist, because the senate has so man gled the good roads bond issue amendment and 1t has been killed in the house." Senator John A. Rogers of Sumter, chairman of the state high way commission, Wednesday started agitation in favor of an immediate sine die adjournment lat 12 o'clock today" The sumter senator laid the. foundation for the action. Then he saw the Foundation topple when the resolution was referred to the com mittee on rules, which, if is said. has lost the document in some pigeonnoIe. The resolution brought tho one pig sensation of the day In the senate, although later developments, when the bond issue bill came up as infin- ished business, came near taking the record of spectacular occurrences from the Rogers resolution.
 Bond BilI Recommitted.
 After about an hour of arguments the senate voted to recommit to the committee the road bond bill, whore differences of the solons might be smoothed out. Senator A. H. Car michael of Colbert county, again on the senate floor. developed the fight of the day when he offered substi- tute to the bill and all pen ling amendments. On the previous day he had paved the way for such action by saying the "bill is awkwardly written" His substitute brought forth much oratory, and finally 1t was agreed to recommit the pill to the committee on constitution and constitutional revision of amend ments. The senator from Mobile, MT. Craft, was successful in getting his motion, providing that the commit tee on public roads and highways, also sit with the other committee dur ing the hearing. On Tuesday MT. Car michael fought hard for an amen1- ment which requires the spending of not less than $30000O of the $25, ,O00,- 00o of bonds in each county A fur ther provision said that bonds could not be sold until federal funds to match were available.
 The road bond bill had been reid up only short time Wednesday as unfinished business when Senator Rogers introduced his resolution call ing for immediate sine die adjourn ment of the legislature The resolu- ton said that the house had killed the bond amendment bill and that 1t had been badly mangled in the sem ate. He did not believe 1t necessary 10 continue the legislature in session. Death. however, for the resolution was sounded when 1t went to the rules committed. When the senate adjourned at o'clock until 10 o'clock Thursday no report had been submitted by the rules committee.
