Later on, Judgo Mann snld ho was not

JUDGE MANN'S REPLY.
' Mr. Ahderson mndo for hls sldo a
pplendld orgument.
When Judgo Mann roso to rpply a hush
fell over tho nssombly. Tho Judgo was
fired with enthusiasm for hls measuro.
He wns loaded wlth urgumcnt. Ho wns
ln excellent humor. In mlghty good
taste he argued for what ho wanted ac
compllshed without denounrlng or abus
Ing anybody whntsocA'er. Ho talked ns
a father wouid to hls chlldren ln plead
Ing wlth them to bo good, bnt promlslng
to uso somo swltch lf they did not bo '
good.
Tho Judge argued that thero could not
possihly bo placed a constructlon upon
hls bill to mnko it apponr to bo unroa
Bonablo.
"My blll," ho' sald, wlth grent ompha
pls, "is to place tho burdon upon tho mnn
who wants a llquor llcenso, r.nd to tnko
tho burden off thoso who opposo the
llcense. If thls Is not fair, If it Is not
Just, If it Is not right, then I don't know
what ls rlght and what Is Justlco,"
Judge Mann could tfco no renson why
the judge passlng upon tho appllcnllon '
for a llcenso could not detornilno whnt
ls tho senso of tho peoplo ln tho neigh
horhood whoro lt Is proposed to conduct
tho saloon. He fired n pretty hot shot
at Senator Anderson In regard to tho
1)111 to allow judges to decldo as to the
cxtention of corporato llmlts of cities or
towns - Instead of pormlttlng tho people
most dlreetly nffected to vote.
Mr. Anderson worked hls way out tho
Jiole into whieh ho wns placed ln n dlplo
matic wny. no sald that lho Leglslature
had docided thnt the caso ho referred to
?was wrong, and If tlio content.lon of Judge
Mann now wns good, Judgo Mann was
?wrong. In other words, tho Leglsdaturo
had declded In tho ono enso not to nllow
t.ho Judges lo pass upon tho mattor of
annexatlon, nndjjr ought to bo conslstont
B.nd not to pr.rml^ t-hls*" thing proposed to
be done now. * -'
Judgo Mann mado lt plnln that he wns
In favor of tho abolition of saloons cvory
rwhoro. and that ho was prncooding step
by step to a'ccompllsh hls purpose.
It was a most courteous, a very ablo
irtebate, nnd It wlll bo resumed when tho
tSenato meots at 11 o'clock to-day.

Members of tho body wero early ln thelr

The Senato chamber rapldly fllled up
?with vlsltors, and there was n pretty good
pprlnkling of peoplo in tho gallory,
Senator Wlckham, who had chargo of
the moasure, seemed to reallao the bur
Iden that was upon hls shoulders when

The flrst battle occurred over Mr. Ander
son's amendment to reduce tlie U~ upon

these assoctatlons, Bomethlng had been
sald about tho Auditor of Publlc Ac?
counts havlng sald that these corpora?

of taxatlon, Air. Oogblll stated, In his
Joculnr way, that the Auditor was look?

Mr. Wntklm ftred hls 18-lnch gun nt

to tho Houso blll removlng the tax pro?
posed to bo placed upon oach barbor's
chair wns adopted. Mr. Wlckham sald
tho commlttoo, whlle reallzlng and re.cog
nlzlng tho fact that the barber ls a "ton
sorlnl artlst," also recognized tho fact
that thoy wero labor men, and lf thoy
wero to be taxed, to follow out thls prln
clple, fnrm hands wouid havo to be
taxod
Mr. Barksdale secured tho passage of
nn amondment lncreaslng the llcenso tax
on labor agents from 825 to 550, and re
quirlngthem to go before court and prove
that thoy nra proper persons to engage
ln tho buslness,
Mr. Mcllwalne moved to have the blll
so amended as to abollsh the taxwnpon
boardlng house keopers. He could not
see why thls tax was ever lmposed. In
most cases tho keepers of boardlng
houses wero poor, helpless ' women, and
woro engnged In this- occupatlon not
becau'so they doslrod to do so, but be?
eause thoy wero foroed by clrctimstances
so to do. "Many women suffer in sllenco,
whoro mon wouid protest," sald tho Pe?
tersburg Sonator.
MR. WiCKHA.1V- RKPDIES.
Mr. Wlckham stated that it was k).own
throughout tho State that thls blll was
undor conslderation; thousands of peo?
ple had come to the commlttoo, but thero
had not been a slnglo protest from thls
sourcc. "It ls a hard thing to Impose
taxes," sald Mr. Wlckham. "Nobody de
slres to do thls, We can all agroo wllh
the Petersburg Senator In hls expresslon
of svmp.itliy for those good women. But
if wo woro to follow out the oxnmplo ho
wouid set, wo could not tnx tho poor
farmors, tho poor Inwyers, tho poor nr
chltocts and the poor toamstors, nor tho
poor anybody elso. The mlnd of mnn
has novnr yet concclved of a tax blll
that ls satlsfaetory to evorybo.Iy, nor
Is that possible. AVo should not, how
ovcr, Ieglslato ln tho3o mattors out of
sympathy." ...
Mr. Claytor polnted out that boardlng
houses by bolng Heonsed and taxod en?
joyed certnln prlvlleges as to Hens. whlch
they wouid loso lf thls amendment was
adoptod.
Mr. Chapman took the snmo view of
the matter as did Mr Wlckham. nnd Mr.
Shapds supported Mr. Mcllwalno's con
tentioiw.
The nmendment offered by Mr. Mcll?
walno was adopted. Thls was tho flrst
materlal change made in the act, but
the tax derlvod from boardlng houses ls
not large ln tho aggregate. lt Is $," per
nnnum upon each houso and one per
cent. upon tho rontal valuo of houso and
furniture in c\-cess of $100,
P.ROTECTING J-AWYERS;
Mr. Seara offorctl nn amendment do
si.ST.od to protect the lawyers. In other
word. he I hought thnt as they woro
taxed, olhers than thoso who are regu?
larly llc'ensed attorneys should not be
permlt led to write deods or wllls for
eompen. atlon. "The medlcal men and
tho dontlsts are protected," sald ho, "No
one save theso llcensed doctors and den
tlsts can practlco thelr professlon for
compensatlon. XV\\y dlscrlmlnnte agalnat
the lawyers? I say It wlth nll degree of
modosty, that thera Is no clnss of peo?
plo who serve thelr State and tho peo?
plo of tho Commonwealth for so little
pay ni>. .the lawyers."
Alr. Bryant called attentlon to the fact
that this r/roposed amendment would
prevent renl eHtate agents from drawlng
deeds, and he wanted lt nmended so as
to oxempt these people.
Alr, W'lckhnm admitted the force of
Mr. Bears' remarks, but ho thought the
amendment should not be adopted, "t
would ho loth to Interfere with tho old
and estnbll. hed customs of tbe Stato,"
sald he. "There ls a lnrgo class of hon?
ornhlo pooplo In thls State who would be
affected, Thoy nre tho Justlces of the
peace. Would you say that these Jus
tl"es Bh.Ula not chnrpe a small feo for
draw|ng up a blll of sale for a horse? I
thlnk thln prnpoued amendment would
affect tV.o Indlvldual rlgh'.s of tho cltl?
zen. You would derlve llttlo revenue
from. this nctlon suggested, nnd you
wouid simply nntngnnlzo a large class
of our beal nnd most -worthy people,"
MR. I.YM-l'S YJEAVS
Replylng to Mr. I.yle, who favored tho
Benr- eimendmont, Mr. Wlckham sald:
"AA'onld you force a poor man out In tho
mountaln* of Cralg or Montgomery to
go K miles In order to secure tha sor
vlces of a trnined lawyer and to pay
him a fee of $5fi or |50 !:i order to havo
drawn up a bill of sale fnr tlmbor when
thla man eopld get a person at home
to do thls worlt for tiO cents?"
Mv Lyle pald that lt wouid be much
better for the^e people to go to a law?
yer to have thelr work dono than to
have legal papers drawn un by thoso
who nre Ignoiant of law, "AVhy," snld
he, "somo of tho bigpest foes 1 ever re?
ceived camo from people who had gnno
to mon who do not know law nnd had
them drnw up papers whloh tuined out
to be faulty. Il !s for tho very bost
Interests nf the vory peoplo to whom the
Hanover Per.ator refe.rs that I am speak
Ir.g."
Mr. Bears tho-.ght that ho was pro
pneing to do not only what wiu, just
t*> the lnwyers, btt-t that whlch wouid
'protect weok nnd lgnorant people ayalnst
tlu.t whieh mlght work harm to them.

rlp.nklnc uerlously, Mr. Be.ir? sald ho
???? drfendln* n great princlple. It wns
riot a Quntlon <>t dlsturblng th? rural
people, but ono of dolng Justlce by all
and bolng loglcnl in pnsslng a tax blll.
HE WAS ONtLY PRACTICAL.
"I do not profoss to be loglcnl, but
slmply to be praetlcal," nnswered "Mr.
Wlckham,
Mr, Sears declared tho tax blll to bo
Illogical and not praetlcal. He favored
the prlnclple bf every man contrlbutlng
his JtiBt share to tho support of the gov?
ernment, and ho did not want favors
to bo shown somo and others dlscrlml
nated agalnst.
Alr. Sears reluctantly accepted an
amendment proposed by Mr. Halsey, sav?
ing what is known aa a "convoyancor,"
ho to pay a licensa tax of $10 per yoar.
Mr. Keezell opposed tho wholo thlng
and argued that it would work a great
hardshlp upon country people to forco
thom to go many mlles to sccuro the
servlces of a llcensod "convoyancor" pr
a lawyer, for few peoplo in tho romotc
country distriets could afford to tnko.
out tho llcense of a "convoyance." Ho
agreed with Mr. Wlckham that thls pro?
posed actlon would noedlossly atlr up
trouble throughout tho Stato,
Atr, Halsey, at Alr. Claytor's sugges
tion, agreed to mako tho tax upon tho
"convoyancer" $5.
Alr. Sears asked Mr. Wlckham lf he
should follow out hls vlews to thelr logl?
cnl concluslon, If lt would not bo woll
to have tho Governor appolnt notarles
publlc wlthout tho notarles paylng any
fee.
AS TO NOTARIES.
. Atr, Wlckham repea.ted tho statement
?that he did not attempt to bo loglcnl, but
to bo praetlcal, In tho flrst placo, ho
thought tho amendment unnecossary;
secondly, llttlo revonue would como from
lt, and, thirdly, lt would stlr up troubV
and would nendlcssly put tho eountry
peoplo to great worry, trouble and an
noyanco.
Alr. Sears could not soo tho matter ln
thls llght, but he thought no moro favor
should bo shown ono class of peoplo
thnn nnother.
In that plain, praetlcal way ho has of
presentlng hls vlows, Alr. Gold sald lt
looked to hlm as If thls amendmont slm?
ply meant saylng to tho country poo?
plo "stand and dollver." It would se
riously affect a good nnd useful class
of cltlzens. "I have seon w|lls wrltten
by farmers thnt havo stood tho tost of
courts and I havo heard of wllls wrltten
by lawyers that havo failed to stand the
test." sald Afr. Gold.
"Then you would changa tho law so as
to pormlt anybody out ln tho country to
extract tooth without bolng llcensod?"
asked Alr. ,Soars.
"Not at all," snld Alr. Gold. "That hns
nothlng to do wlth the enso." .
Tho amendment was rejected by a very
declded voto after one of tho llvoliost
debates that has occurred during thls
session.
The Senate at 2 o'clock took a recess
until 3:30.
At the afternoon session. the Atann blll
was considered, and tho Sonato adjourn?

Tho efforts of tho homo aggrogatlon to

Conslderefl as the llrst time thls season

At ci'ltlctil momenis yustorduy tho

Two mon wero 011 bases and Jones had

Both mado eostly errors and allowed runs
