It aeemed to bo an ef fort to get the Governor in a hole. He referred to the guano hill for the Stele House grounds by a former commission. He vent back to Tom Felder, and .said he never ought to have been allowed to take $170,000 in commissions. That money would build a State House. He talked about a book, but ‘ who the devil be lieved there was ever a book coming from Tom Feldw." 'May be they are waiting for the campaign. He saii Mr. Gonzalea had used $12,000 or more for guano and a little ceed and ditching on LhoStata House grounds. •Mr. Meares tried to get Mr. Ashley on the record as to how the money was spent on the State House grounds by the tommlkslon, of which-Mr. Gonzales was a member. The record showed that $1,134 was spent in 1910, ( not $1 1,000.) and It was spent for fertilizers, labor, plants. This, he sakf, was quoting from memory. Mr. Ashley said Mr. Meares did not know what he was talking about, and that he was ttred of some people trying to run the State. He knew the whole fight was on the Governor, and he was sick of the whole thing. Mr. Ashley made a red hot talk against what he regarded as attacks on Governor Hlease. Dr. Wyche made an impassionate speech, eloquently saying the legisla tive hall was not the proper place for political stump speeches, airi he did not want to hear so much about pol- I’iis. lie would o opposed to any investigation.or further ado, except that the members of the sub-com- 1 iiitttee asked for it.

Mr. W yche said he meant no re flection on Mr. Rembert or anyone else: his only desire was to have the House get to work. Mr. Stevenson's substitute resolu tion was adopted bv an overwhelm ing vote.
