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. tbe past few years to effect this change. To become a law thia would require a constitutional amendment. The proposed constitutional amendment about paying the legis lators |IG0 a year Instead of $4 a day—eo that If th* legislators stay here longer than forty daye here after they do eo at their own ex pense—was made tbe special order for next Tuesday. Tbs bjll Is by Warner Hill, of Meriwether. “I don’t know,” sold be, when asked II the bill would paM tbe House, ?*thBt they will pass it without amendment. Many members, gin favor of fixing a salary, want more that $100. Bat beyond doubt thie bill m It la. or amended merely m to |b** amount of the nlsry, will pern the Hense- I believe It wUl fcr^”re««.re^ till,, It will b* reinemlwrcd, ill bla Inaugural addr**.. And (tut re- lb* f»ct lb,t aoato.of Ihc mort important legislation of this session Is carrying out tbe suggestions of that address. It vMD't a particu larly elegant or eloquent address, but !t wm full of hard common sense. No doubt about that. The house adjourned until nine o'clock to-morrow morning. A DRIVING CLUB. A SHOW SHARPER. 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. f C.
