AFTERNOON SESSION. 



December 19, 1:30 p. m. 



The President: It was moved that we appoint a Legislative Commit- 

 tee. I have already canvassed the situation for the Legislative Com- 

 mittee, and I would like the motion made to have that committee consist 

 of three persons, changed. I would like to have a reconsideration of that 

 motion, and make it five instead of three. I believe it would be better. 



Mr. Newsom: Mr. President, I move we reconsider that motion. 



The President: It is moved that the motion passed yesterday, that we 

 have a Legislative Committee consisting of three persons, be reconsidered. 

 Those in favor of reconsidering that motion say "Aye." (Motion carried.) 



Mr. Newsom: I move to amend that motion by striking out the word 

 "three" and inserting the word "five." 



The President: The motion is to amend by striking out the word 

 "three" and inserting the word "five" in its place. Those in favor of 

 that amendment say "Aye." (Motion carried.) I will now present the 

 amended motion. Those in favor of having the Legislative Committee 

 consist of five persons say "Aye." (Motion carried.) With that imder- 

 standing, I will appoint a committee consisting of Mr. Burnside, of Lib- 

 erty, for chairman; and Messrs. G. P. Newsom, Frank .Tohnson, G. W. Dris- 

 chel and J. J. Billingsley. That is a Committee that is so constituted that 

 it is made up of men, all of whom have shown a great deal of interest in 

 the work of this Association, and some of these men have already promised 

 me that if they were appointed on this Committee that they would look 

 after the interests of the Association: and, furthermore, it is so constituted 

 that if you find it necessary to take notice of political parties in the State, 

 that the two great parties will have representation on this Committee in 

 asking favors of the Legislature.
