BACON AND ADAMSON
- CLASH ABOUT HOUSE
By J. WIDEMAN LEE.
Warm Spring*. Oa., July !0.—During
the session of the Bar Association
Thursday afternoon Senator Qu* Bacon
and Congressman Charley Adamson
had a little tilt a* to the comparative
merits of the senate and the house.
"The house legislates and the senate
deliberates," sagely said the state's
senior senator. "The rate bill pussed
the house without a dissenting vote,
to speak of. When It reached tltc sen
ate It had eleven amendments tacked
’’’"The rate bill was debated eleven
days In the house,” warmly replied
Congressman Adamson.
■That Is very unusual. In fact, the
■word 'very' '« not strong enough. It Is
to seldom that the house devotes so
much time to a measure."
Then they quit.

New county proposals provoked con
siderable discussion In the houae Fri
day morning, the matter having been
brought up by Mr. Felder, of Bibb,
who moved that the bill to create the
new county of Ben 1IIII, to be composed
of portions of the counties of Wilcox
and Irwin, be withdrawn from the
committee on constitutional amend
ments and be recommitted to the com
mittee on new countltt, with Instruc
tions to report on the same by next
Wednesday.
He called for the reading of the reeo'
lutlon by Mr. Hall, providing for the
creation of tht* new county commit
tee, which made It Imperative for all
bill, for new fount lea to be tent to
thla committee. Mr. Hall objected to
this bill being eent to hie committee,
explaining that the new county com
mittee had at the last aeaslon heard all
the facts relative to thla new county,
and had, by a vote of 2 to 2, voted ad
versely upon the proposition, and this
vote waa adverse to the propostt
self, and not In comparison with any
of the new counties created.
The resolution creating this commit
tee only provided for the creating of
eight new counties, and having per
formed their functions In that reapect,
thetr duties were now ended. Speaking
for himself, he would be embarrassed
by thla bill going back there.
Mr. Felder Insisted on hla motion,
contending that It waa the proper com
mittee, oa It had all the facta relating
to the question. Hla motion prevailed.
The l)|ll to create a new county out
of Pike and Monrob counties, with
Barneartlle aa the county seat, was
also taken from the constitutional
amendment committee and re-referred
to the new county committee.
