A DULL, DULL DAY.
MILKMAN TODD'S BILL BROUGHT
UP AND TABLED.
Special to Rscordkk.
Atlanta, Nov. 28.—'Thl» wm a
very quiet doy Indeed with the
leglolature.
The Senate really didn't have a
quorum present, and no bills of
any aort were put upon their paa-
wm with reference to the
room bill of Sen. Todd % . The sup-
portlug of that measure worked a
parliamentary strategora that—It la
believed now—gives the bill another
chance. The oppoueut# of this bill
were fairly caught napping, and
walked Into the trap set for them.
Ben. Todd gave notice at the
projwr time that he would move to
reconsider the action of Wednes
day. Ai eoon as the reading of the
journal woe finished, he made the
motion to reconsider.
Gen. Ellingtou, a supporter of
Uio measure, moved to table the
motion of Hen. Todd, and Sen. El
lington’s motion was carried, tab-
bling the uiotiou to reconsider.
The opponents of the bill, who
were undoubtedly a majority of
those present voted for Elliugton'e
motion to table, believing that for
ever disposed of tho blil, as though
the motion to reconsider bad been
"lost.” But there is another rule,
“nothing can be laid upon the table
exoept what can be taken up again.”
As this motion wm tabled, It can
certainly be taken up again.
. Of course there le logio on both
■Idee of tho question, but the weight
of opinion Is decidedly in favor of
the bill. President Mitchell be-
lleye* the tabling of the motion to
reconsider allows it to be taken up
again.
Ho ex-8peaker Gu« Little, who is
here now. He eaye there is no
doubt about It.
Ite Interesting now to hear (He
opponents of the bill explaining
their vote this morning. The laugh
able part of It Is that the stratagem
was worked by the farmer crowd,
who are supposed to know nothing
about parliamentary law, and the
victims were the lawyer* aud par
liamentarians.
It wMricli!
hon/j. c. c. iilack.
Hon. J. C. C. Block, of Augusta,
wm one of the prominent figures
about the capllol this morning.
I watched people go up and shake
hands with him, representatives
from all parte of the state, and the
heartiness and spontaneity of it
was nouble. It wm a quiet sort of
tribute, ageuulne tribute, to the
Intellect and Integrity of the mao.
Hie visit, be Mye, was on private
business, and hM nothing whatev
er to do with politics.
JUDOS smith's successor.
Next Wednesday wm set to day
for the election of a judge for the
CbatUhoochee circuit, to succeed
•x-Oovernor Smith. At the same
time a Judge will be elected for the
new Chattahoochee circuit.
>-> IN TUB SKNATB.
The Senate wae In session about
fifty minutes to-day, aud then ad
journed until Monday morning.
A host of local bills were Intro
duced this morning In the House.
The seme old bill cams in
amongst them, toincrsMethe nura-i
her of Supreme Court Judges from
three to five. This time fU author
la Tracy Baxter, of Bibb. Effort
Amerlcus Is to,have one of tbe fin
est race tiocks In the Bouth.
Aud that too at «u early date.
.hin. don, There an many young m»n In
~ ,T: r Tv“- NR* oiiy-wbo own. (*§t animal., and
who Uke a great deal of interest in
such things. For some time they
have wished for a track where they
could train and speed their horses,
and where races could be held in
tho fall and spring.
No part of the State can boast
better animals than are raised in
South west Georgia, aud by making
such a track and arousing interest
in th* movement, all thie country
would enter and make our season
the best to he found.
That’s what oar young met
tend doing, and are certainly going
to do. The idea is to construct
mile track out at I-eeton on the
south side of tiie street car track.
Here the ground is almost perfectly
level, and with a very little grading
it can be made the best track in the
State.
To this eud a subscription list has
beeu circulated, and nearly enough
made up to begin the work. A lit
tle more Is wauted, but no trouble
is anticipated in getting It.
This will be a splendid thing,
and an early completion of their
work is desired.

Hpscial to Records*. •
Montezuma, Nov. 28.—Quite a
successful trlok was worked upon
several persons In Ferry nod here
at the clrcue In these pieces.’
The vendor of reserved seats
would ask the party coming In If he
desired small change for large bills,
and upon an afllmative answer,
tbe aforesaid ticket seller would
count out the .change, leee from
one-third to three fourths of the
whole amount.
For Instance yon give him a ten
dollar bill for change, he would
count out ten one dollar bills and
lay the same before your eyes.
When yoa would be certain that be
had given tbe correct obange, then
he would suggest ’ that Id be sure
the same was correct be would re
count, after which last count be
would hand yoa your money Ism
the amount retained. He would
take his sum from the bottom of
the pile m he handed you the sup
posed change. Many persons being
in need of small change for cotton
pickers, etc., were easily ensnared.
