Nothing To Do Until Friday. Cotton Mill Exemption
 Still Before House
STATE CAPITAL RUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 26 ]

For the first time since the quad rennial session of the legislature be- gan members had nothing to do Wednesday. No committees could hold meetings because the time had passed. No debate could be held be- cause the two houses were in recess. The only thing the members could do was to await the coming of Fri day, which will witness the fiftieth and last session.
 The legislature recessed shortly before midnight Tuesday under a resolution. which provided that the final meeting should be held Friday. The recess was necessary in order ment to catch ur with the work. Many of the bills passed Tuesday could not be enrolled during the day and the recess will give the clerks time in which to prepare the meas ures for the signatures of the pre- siding officers on the last day.
 Two of the most important meas ures facing the house are the bills adjusting salaries of capitol officials and employees and providing for the exemption of cotton mills and addi- ticns to cotton mills TOT five years beginning October l.
 The salary bill is unfinished busi- ness, having been carried over from Tuesday night when debate was made on it for three hours and when such confusion arose the members voted to adjourn without taking a vote.
 The cotton mill exemption bill Is a special order and an effort will be made to obtain a vote before the time when the two houses will be forced to discontinue the passage of bills. It is not probable that any bills will be considered after the noon hour. The last hours must be spent in the enrolment and signing of bills.
