Increased Wheat Crep.-The Florence Times says: Last year the farmers of Lauderdale made their first big move. of late years, in wheat culture. That branch of agriculture had until then almost wholly been overlooked. The success of 1894 encouraged our farmers, and this year. according to good authority. the wheat crop is from three to four times as large as last year. MT. M. B. Shelton, one of our best informed citizens, puts the acreage at even higher figures. What d change is here indeed, And fortunately the quality is excellent Truly our farmers are seeing the right way and pursuing it."

BREEZY DEBATE.
MESSRS MITCHELL AND HARRIS
CREATE A STIR
In the .Senate-District. Appropriation
- Bill. Passed-Much Opposition to
New Currency Bill in the House.
Reeds Currency Bill.

Washington, Feb. j.-The senate session
opened today with very breezy per-
sOnal alteration between Mr.. Mitchell
(Oregon) and Mr.. Harris CTennessee).
The words 'ungentlemanly' and con
temptiblc" were exchanged and for Il
time it looked as though the senate cham
Der might witness Il repetition of the
bcligerent scene in the house last week.
But though open conflict was averted,
it assumed n somewhat serious aspect,
and the senate relapsed into an unevent-
full consideration of routine business.
The senate again took up the District of
Columbia appropriation bill.
Mr.. McLaurin Dem, Miss.) offered an
amendment to the bill providing for the
coinage of the silver seigniOrage in the
treasury, amounting to 500, 100000, which
should be used i'll paying the expenses OF
the improvements by the amendments.
Mr.. Harris appealed to Mr.. McLaurin
TO withdraw the amendment, it was gen
eral legislation and in no wise pertinent
to the pending bill. He said he was as
strong Il friend of silver as Mr.. McLaurin
could be. but would be compelled to vote
against the amendment.
Mr.. McLaurn did not accedc to the
request and Mr.. Hale (Rep., Me.) made
point of order against it.
ton said he considered it in order and
he could not consent to withdraw the
, amendment because of his objection to a
bond issue of any kind by the government
when it could be avOided.lIe cOntended
that it was not good business sense To
issue 81 900. 600 worth OF bonds and put
up on them S7J0,00O in interest as contem-
plated in Il pending amendment when
there was money i'll the treasury with
which to meet the expenditures.
Mr.. Mills Dem., Texas made the
point of order that the original amendment
was also out of order. on the ground that
it was IL provision for general legislation.
A long debate followed as to the pro-
priety of the points of order made by
Messrs. Hale and Mills.
The vice president said he would sub
NIT the two points of order to the SEN
ate. He directed that the first vote be
on Mr.. Mills point of order against
the Proctor bond amendment. There was
viva voce vote, on which the point of
order was sustained by large ma
iOrity.
Mr.. Dubois Rep.. Idaho called for
the yeas and nays. but was induced to
withdraw the demand.
The McLaurin silver amendment fol
lowed the course of the main amendment.
Thus both amendments were summary
diSpOsed of and the silver feature of the
debate disappeared.
The District of Columbia appropriation
bill was then passed.
The diplomatic and consular approprl-
alton bill was made the next order OF
business.
The senate then held Il brief executive
session. after which, ut 4;l0 p. M, adj

Mr.. Reed. the leader Of the minority
