Senator liniivn said the effect "f th" passage of the bill would be distinctly bad. He was a prohibitionists in that lie advocated temperance, but he be lieved that it would he bad policy to pass a bill that would enable a lot of people to travel from county to county continually stirring up feeling and bav ins local option elections.

The leply or the State treasurer to the resolution of inquiry as to what sums of money he bad paid oui to the penitentiary. &c, was received and placed in the hands of the finance i Jin mittee. Bills to allow C. M. Griffith, late sheriff of Davidson, to collect arrears of taxes from 1S91, was discussed. There was an unfavorable report. Represen tatives Thompson, Julian and Leath erwood favored the bill. Julian said that Davidson was a close county po litically and that it was thought if the sheriff pressed some of the tax pay ers too closely last year it. would hurt the party, and so the sheriff was very lenient. It was shown that Sheriff Grffiith had been given such relief In 1S!7. Boushall of the llnan.-'e commit tee said the committee had unfavora bly ' reported this bill because It had proposed a general bill allowing all sheriffs relief from 1895. He said sher iffs went over the counties electioneer ing and leaving taxes uncollected, and that this was the true reason for all these bill for the relief of sheriffs, of which there are some 50. He declared that to pass this bill would be letting down the bars. He moved to table the bill. At Moore's request his name was called first and he explained his vote. He contended that Grffiith ought to have the relief because he had been in dulgent to his people. The vote to ta- oie was ayes , noes la. AVinston read the reply of the Gov ernor to the inquiry as to what vacan cies there are on the board of direc tors of the penitentiary. The reply said there were two from the 7th and 9th districts. Winston said one of these had occurred within the past 48 hours. He said the Democrats had In caucus last night luckily nominated men from these particular districts. He then placed in nomination AVHIiam C. New land from the 7th and Marlon 1a Bryan from the 9th. tPetree nominated on the part of the fuslonlsts, Charles M. Jones Smith nominated A. P.
