Resolved. that II ia the sense OF this
committee that Il has no authority TO
order primaries, and that Its specific
duty In the premises Is to name the
times and places for holding TIE two
state convent Q IS. leaving II with the
sovereign people OF the, several coun-
ties to hold their primaries In such
manner as they may determine.
Committeeman Hendricks made tho
point that the Substitute was out OF
order, that the committee had deter
mined ON primaries, and the point was
sustained. Committeeman Dunlap rose
with blood In his eyes and proceeded to
unburden himself In substance Us fol-
lows.
81 wan, to be heard" he began, when
three or four members made nm exit,
he continued, 'and ! will pardon tho
committeeman who have retired, even
II they have treated me discourteouely.
l desire to express myself TO the COM
mlttee and 10 the Democrats of Texas
through the press. He proposed to hold
his seat on the committee. and he do
sired to say that the substitute sub
rntted by Colonel Johnston covered all
the ground the committee could have
Jurisdiction over. The resolutions you
expect 10 pass are not Democratic. and
you could not have parsed them Ind
not the cold hand OF death visited the
committee and taken two OF our men,
hers These members were not cold In
death before the chairman gave out app
pointments. ana II occurs to me that Il
would be more appropriate to have
hung motirning on their seats. These
seats are hlled by men who do not rep
resent the sentiment OF the Democracy
in their districts. Had 1t not been for
these deaths the committee could not
have passed resolutions which have
gone through today. No man who ever
dehcd the wishes OF tho people could
live politically.
Judge Mccormick. the last appoints
mont or Chairman Dudley. came for
ward on his crutch. and his reply 20
Committeeman Dunlap was most
sea thing one. His exooriatlon was most
severe. and reaching the climax he
said that the idea was absurd OF such
a man attacking him when he had serv-
ed the Democracy when bravery wan
necessary. He had fought the battlen
OF the Democratic party for years. Hs
knew the sentiment of the Democrats
In his district. He had voiced their
sentiment In the committee, and II Mr..
Dunlap would come down In his district
and make such n statement he would
ride him hog hunting. He repudiated
the charges and felt that had Commit
teoman Dunlap reflected he would not
have given utterance to such express
siOns.
Committeeman Nicholson, who was
appointed a short time ago from tho
Laredo district, repudiated the charges
In "A short speech. saying that Commit
teomnn Dunlap's utterances were tho
expressions OF q man who was sorely
disappointed and defeated.
on vote TO adopt tho resolution as
n whole there were Is ayes and 10 nays. y
The chairman then announced that
the matter OF selecting places for tho
two conventions would b0 considered.

Woman's S Smile.

A woman's smile is thus de
scribed in a Hawaiian romance:
"Her rich lips parted, and there
flashed upon the landscape two
rows of beautiful white teeth.
Slowly her mouth opened wider
and wider, deeper grew the
dimples IN her bronze cheeks;
brighter danced the sunbeans IN
her eyes, unit, stray ray, dartlng
through the foliage of an over
hanging brow, illuminated the
deep cavern of her mouth, bring
ing into view the back part OF
her head. Then, seeing us gaz-
ing intent!y upon her, she shuts
her mouth, and darkness fell up
on the scene"

Disastrous wind, rain and hail
storm visited Charlottesville Va.
Tuesday afternoon, accompanied
by lightning and thunder.
Houses were unroofed and floods
ed and i'll several instances struck
by lightning. Hundreds of fruit
and shade trees were uprooted or
broken off, several partly finish
ed houses were blown down, the
streets were turned into rivers
and men, women and children
were panlc>stricken, frightened,
some narrowly escaping with
their lives. Wind approached
the form of a cyclone, tore
through streets, while the rain
fell in torrents. Several build
ln9s were unroofed and goods in
the stores damaged by water.
Trolley cars and Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad trains were delay

Annie Thorin, twenty years
old, committed suicide Tuesday
afternoon at the roadside, near
Somerville, N. J., by setting fire
to her clothing and burning her
self to death.
She was found an hour later
sitting with head III a hedge fence,
her clothing completely burned
from her body and her flesh
charred in a horrible manner.
A passing farmer had seen her
russet shoe protruding from the
hedge, and upon looking closer
was Mortified to see the charred
body sitting bolt upright and the
face looking at him,
/ A box of matches and a bunch
Of hairpins lay at her side. A
tuft of her hair, which had failed
to burn, was still in the hedge
brush.

Diamonds Thrown Into a Fire.

Mrs. Washington l. Sherwood,
of Sing Sing, N. Y, found lit
tie bundle of rags i'll her daugh-
ter's room, and, thinking them
useless, threw them in the fire.
AS soon as she had done this her
daughter, who saw the act, but
was too late to prevent it, told
her mother she had wrapped a
solitaire diamond ring and a
cluster ring with Six diamonds
in the rags for safe keeping,
thinking no thief that might ell
ter the house would suspect such
booty i'll old rags. The poker
and shovel were quickly made
use of in pulling the blazing rags
from the fire, and the rings were
saved, though in damaged con-
dition.

ANOTHER Big FIRE
At Greenville Caused a Loss of

VAST Monday, about noon
Aa brick dry-kiln filled
with lumber at the Greenvillc
Lumber Company's plant was
discovered on fire. The city fire
department responded promptly,
and after half an hours hard
fight it was thought the fire
could be kept confined to the
kiln and the plant saved; sudden
ly the stream from the fire ell
glne ceased when it was found
that the suction hose had burst,
disabling the engine. AS soon
as the water stopped the fire
made rapid headway and totally
destroyed the entire plant, every
pile of lumber on the yard and a
storage warehouse near by, be>
longing to Henry Sheppard.
The total loss approXimates $780,
900. There was only $4,000
insurance. The heat from the
fire was so intense as to cause
several people to faint
This fire really occasions a
more serious loss to Greenville
than the big February fire in
which so much of the business
portion of the town was DESTROY
ed. While the aggregate loss by
the former fire was much larger
it was divided among 4 numbe:
of people and as soon as insur>
ance adjustments were made re>
building commenced, but in this
fire the loss is all on one com-
pany, and swept the plant SO
clean that there is no prospect of
rebuilding. This fire also throws
o5 men out Of employment and
cuts off the source for lumber
upon which the town largely
depended to keep up its building
operations.

INN Saturday a bloody hand
" to-hand fight occurred at
Blountstown, Calhoun county,
Florida, in which Thomas House
noted desperate, and Thomas
Smith were killed, and George
Harrison fatally wounded. The
parties were all white.
Smith and House had been for
some time in love With the same
woman. She smiled on both un-
til they became desperate, and
each threatened to kill the other.
House called at the Woman's
house on Saturday, and soon
after Smith, accompanied by his
brother-in law, George Harrison,
arrived. When Smith saw House
he became enraged, and ordered
him to leave the house. He re-
fused, and quarrel began.
Bitter words were used, and in
a few seconds both men had
drawn their pistols and began
shooting The three men were
close together i'll small room,
and Smith quickly dropped to
the floor with a bullet through
his heart.
House then shot at Harrison
and wounded him at the first fire.
Harrison returned the snot, and
House, having exhausted his car
tridges, jumped at him with
large knife. AS he 1unged his
foot slipped in Smith S blood,
and he fell to the floor across
the dead mans body with a bull
let through his own heart.
Harrison staggered into the
presence of the screaming wo>
man, who stanched the flow of
blood from his wound as best
she could, until the arrival of
men who had been attracted to
the house by the fusillade.
Harrison was placed under ar
rest and turned over to the
sheriff. 1t is thought that he
cannot live.
