TERMS EXTENDED
TO FOUR YEARS:
Miller Bill Passes the Sen
ate Tuesday by
32 to 6.
Considerable debate waa occasioned
In the senate Tuesday morning when
Senator Hand moved to take up the
Connor bill appropriating {100,000 for
an agricultural college at Athens.
Objection. waa made by Senator A.
O. nialock to taking the bill up out
of order, and a debate waa precipitated
as to whether a majority or three-
fourths vote of the senate waa neces
sary to chango the regular order of
business.
It developed that the senate has no
rules covering this point, and President
West ruled that the majority would
prevail. This has apparently been the
custom In the senate for years.
On the vole then as to whither the
bill ahould be taken up It stood 11 to
IS. and the bill was read.
As the hour had arrived for the Joint |
session to hear tho speech of President |
Tucker on the Jamestown exposition,
th« senate proceeded to the house In
