Mr. Jones was one of tho ldtWatnn wlio saw tho famous dance with Ilia own eyes, nnd Immediately afterward ho set to work to prepare his bill do puit a stop to it In future. Tho committee reported adversely on ■hla bill an 'the ground that Mr. Jpncs' objections are already covered by law. Mr. Jones made a speech for ills bill. Ito grew eloquent, anj durlDg his re marks lapsed Into verse. Ho said, dramatically: t "There was a sound of revelry by ■tight. And Macon's -plalsanee had gathered there Her beauty and and her deviltry, And bright the lamps shone o’er shameless women And a few bald-headed men." Of course, there was loud applauso as the young man from Albany sat down. Ml’. Wright Of iFloyd ' nald thought thu bill. If paBaed at all, should not go into effect until after tho Atlanta exposition next year. Ho offered an amendment to thlB effeot, but tt was not accepted. As tho debate was rinsing Mr. Williams of Schley moved that Mr. Jones, tho author of tho bill, give an exhibition of the naughty dance so that the house might vote intelligently. Mr. Williams also made a speech. Ho said Jro wanted to know how tho line could be drawn on ithe dancing girls. It would take an expert to watch them constantly, and this might necessitate tho creation of such an ofllco aa state Inspector of (lancing girls. Finally tho house voted against tho advenae report of tho committee and the Ml will come up on its passage In regular order next weok. THE DATE OF ELECTIONS.

There was a. little squall mthe house today over a MU by Mr. MonKfort of Taylor county to abolish the county court of that county. Ho had with drawn the bill from tho special Judi ciary committee, tt appeared, ostensi bly to perfect It, but in fact because the committee would have reported tt adversely. Yesterday Mr. Montfort re introduced the bill and asked to have tt referred to the eommitteo on coun ty matters. Mr. Polhlll objected, and his objection was sustained, tile bill be ing sent to the special Judiciary com mittee, where It had been sent orlglnil- ly. Today the squall over a motion to reconsider the reference of tho bill. Mr. Polhill again making a winning fight for the special Judiciary commit tee. It was brought out that the court Is the only office held by a Democrat In Taylor, and the charge was made that the bill to abolish it was a parti san measure to give the Populists all their own way. Mr. (Montfort, however, denied this on the floor, clalmtug that 600 peopln of the county. Including both Demo crats and Populists, had preferred to hare the court abolished. IN RBCBIVER3’ HANDS.
