House Opened at 10. The house met at 10 o'clock and al most immediately was precipitated a discussion on the question of making certain bills special order of business for named dates. The committee on rules made a re port, nahilng July 11 the date for the Mattingly bond bill to b© tho special order of business. Mr. Knight, of Ber rien, objected to this procedure, and thereby was started a discussion that lasted almost half an hour. The reso lution was lost. By unanimous consent a bill was in troduced by Mr. Bowden, of Monroe, to amend an act relative to levying and collecting local county taxes for educational purposes. Will Move to Reconsider. Mr..

The gentleman from Floyd objected to being Interrupted by Mr. Hall, of Bibb. "You are going to have two railroad commissions In eternal conflict,” con tlnued Mr. Wright.

You are establishing two bodies In conflict to subservo tho Interest of the people.” Mr. Hall,, of Bibb, answered Mr. Wright. He said he was sick and not able to answer fully the gentleman from Floyd. Hall and Wright Clash. "Some of you people are mighty hard to satisfy,” said Mr. Hall, looking at Mr. Wright. Mr. Wright: "Can you not leave out personalities?” Mr. Hall: "Listen to what I have to say.” Mr. Wright: "I am sick and tired of having the Integrity of the membera of Why the House Will Meet On the Glorious Fourth of July It was a slow and uninteresting session that the hoVise of represen tatives held Tuesday morning and until the last 15 minutes but little In terest was shown by the members.

Following this ac tion, Mr. Dunbar, of Richmond, moved that the house adjourn until 10 "o’clock Thursday morning. The fun started and Joe Hall held the whip handle. Mr. Hall arose to debate the motion to adjourn, which most folks say is impossible. It was seven minutes of 1 o'clock, at which hour the house would, by rule, be adjourned until Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.

Mr. Felder, of Bibb, asked Mr. Hail if he thought ll was right to de feat the will of the great majority of the members by filibustering. "I am not filibustering. I don’t know what filibustering means.” (Loud laughter.) Members jumped up In every part of the houso In an attempt to get the floor. Mr. Hall would not yield. He told them he was going to talk until 1 o'clock, and he did. The members turned and watched the clock, moving up minute by minute, seeing all chance of a day at homo vanish. The gentleman from Bibb came in for much "cussing out," but he was relentless.
