voting was made for a dilatory purpose Speaker Smith overruled the point of order in view of the fact that the rulea of the house do not contain as specific provision that a dilatory motion shall not be entertained Speaker Smith invited an appeal to the houae from his ruling but no appeal was taken The roll waa called three times on motions to excuae members from voting President Smith snd many members or the aenate occupied seats in the gallery watching the filibuster until after 11 On a point of order by Mr Stevenson the speaker ruled that members Involved in motions to be excused from voting could not vote nor rise to second calls for the ayes and nays The ruling waa a stumbling block for the leaders of the filibuster to prevent the ratification of the cotton bond issue bill last night until the various votes were unfolded Then at 11:40 o'clock Mr Vander llorst made a motion that the hoitsa adjourn and the filibuster was on again At midnight Mr Belser of Sumter again ruiaed

fact that there waa nothing in the' rulea of the house making a dilatory motion out of order motions to excuse members were dearly within the rulea The apeaker asked the houae to express itself on the question of overruling hla decision In order to fix a precedent under which it would act In future The house took up yesterday morning the concurrent resolution offered by Mr McMaater of Richland expressing sympathy for the Belgians and inviting them to come to South Carolina The resolution waa debated for some time the Idea being to hold the house In session until the senate took some action
