STATE GRANGE.
Resolutions Adopted on the Subject Of
Jute and Cotton Baggiig.
The State Grange Journal Heartily Endorsed
Two Degrees Conferred in an I'm
pressive Manner.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
MCGREGoR, TEX, Aug. 15.-When
the report on the Grange journal, the
its enthusiastic Endorsement of the paper.
Strong speeches were made by A. A.
Black, R. E. Steele, n. Stulworth, A.
NJ. Kellar and others. The Farmer will
be remembered as the paper which waged
an aggressive warfare against those
membe rs of the late legislature whs
voted against the railroad commission
bill.
The report of the committee on lectur-
ing provoked long discussion, but the
report of the committee was finally
adopted. The order will spend between
six and eight thousand dollars during the
ensuing year upon this important branch
of its work.
Resolutions of fraternal greeting were
adopted toward all agricultural and
other labor organizations engaged in
the work of reform
The following were adopted:
Resolved, that this state Grange re-af-
firms its unqualified condemnation of the
jute bagging trust, and ali other trusts,
as outrages permitted by law.
Resolved, that in examining the mer-
it's of cotton bagging we find its use
embarrassed by many conditions not I'M
derstood and very doubtful of adjust
ment in time for the marketing of the
present crop; and that the factories
upon which farmers must depend for
their supplies are in no sense different as
to organization from those that manu-
facture jute.
Resolved, that we make the sign of
caution to farmers, and that they know
whatever begging they use will meet all
necessary conditions without doubt.
The impressive ceremonies of the fifth
and sixth degrees were given last night,
q class of eight receiving the former and
a class of forty the latter.

THE MAJOR Party.
The Republicans will be ReSpOn-
sible for all Legislation,
But the Chances are tbatthe Democrats
will Make 1t Very UnpIeas-
ant fer Them.
The Southern Republican Congressman Cal
SIT on the Top Rail if They Work
1t Right.
AN EXTRA SESSION .

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-As summer
draws to a close interest revives in the
question of an extra session, and all mat
tiers connected Herewith, particularly
the speaker of the house, are. discussed
with animation everywhere. An inter-
esting phase of the situation will be the
attitude of the Republican congressman
from the South. They have it
in their power to capture
goodIy share of the fat
positions in the house, and however dis
tasteful it may be 10 their Northern col
leagues they know that kicking would be
IN vain. Last session the Southern DEM
Ocfats undoubtedly ruled the rOost in the
lower branch of the national legislature,
and this time it looks as if Southern Re-
publicans will occupy the top rail- They
are the balance of power, and, though
not expected to break away from party
affiliations, will use their advantage for
all it is worth. Regarding the speaker
ship, Tom Reed seems to lead. While
not so popular as Mckinley or Barrows,
the Republicans are in measure bound
to HIM after acknowledging him as leader
so long. An extra session is looked upon
as certain.
The Republicans do not anticipate any
trouble in organizing the house, their
trouble will come in later when they at
tempt to unseat some Democrat hold
ing certificate of election. then is when
THE BALL WILL OPEN,
and the fun win start. The Democrats
lido not propose to lose a man. They
deny that there is any doubt about the
election of any man, with the possible
exception of Wise in the Third Virginia,
but even if Wise should be unseated they
claim that Woodill, the confess
tant, would not be entitled to
the place, as the votes for
him were cast after dark. If necessary
the Democrats are prepared to filibuster
to prevent their minority being still
further reduced, and if the fight over the
adoption Of the new rules is anything
like as warm as is anticipated it may
take up all of the special session, and the
Republicans would have but little to
show in the way of legislation accom-
plished. Being the major party they
will have to bear all the responsibility
and their leaders do not think the out
look particularly cheering.

Westmoreland, the negro wife murderer,
was hanged here to-day. He was in the
company of Father Kenny and Sister
Mary Ann from an early hour in the

remarkable degree of nerve. He was
twenty-five years old. On the way from
the cell to the scaffold the condemned
man was permitted to tarry a few mo-
ments to say goodbye to his brother, a
prisoner in jail for wife beating. The
scene was very affecting. The brother
broke down and wept, but Bill said:
''That won It do no good. Brace up,
and when you get out do risht, and you
won It have to die like me.
His neck was broken. Westmoreland
sent parting message to his mother in
Georgia. He also left. written state

THE Observation-Disclosures DUEL.
Governor seay VIII Take No Action, as No
Complaint Has Been Made.


Complaint Has Been Made.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. l., Aug. l5.-The re-
ports that Governor Seay while here ex-
pressed an intention of proceeding by
requisition against Calhoun and William
son for dueIling in Cherokee county Is
without foundation. Governor Seay
positively declined to say one word to
anybody about his intentions. He has
done nothing more than to communicate
with Solicitor Lusk of the Cherokee CIR
cult court, calling his attention to the
matter. GovernoE Seay could proceed
only on warrant sworn out by,- some
citizen, and no Alabamian has been
found who saw the duel, or can make an
affidavit. Only Georgians were there.
1t is not probable that anything will be
done until the Cherokee grand jury
meets. Unless some Alabama witness
turns up that body viii be powerless.
