NERDS the death penalty in the jury

the deed which commonly leads to

this proposition than to any legislation
holding counties financially responsible

THE recent cold snap brought out the
skaters. but it also brought out the fact
that it doesn't always pay to buy cheap
skates. The number Of actual accidents,
not to speak of knocks and tumbles,
that have distinguished the present kat
ing season has been remarkable, and
they have nearly all been due to the
skates themselves. One brand new pair
after another fresh from Santa Claus :
pack, has snapped asunder at the very
first trial and laid the "carcr low. Since
the first sign of ice appeared every house
hold las had its collection Of manned
and crippled skates i'll exact proportion

one way the latter are to blame. They
rarely use the best kind uf skate, and
still more rarely do they wear special
skating boots. The club skate. Il !rall
affair a, best, is the one mostly seen, and
almost without exception, 1t Is clalnp"d

The strong, secure blade skate, worn in

boot, is rarely seen here. strap skates

committee assembled" That was the
beginning of legislation by the colonies
after their first union. In that committee
of the States assembled. resolutions were
adopted stating what they thought ad-
visable to be done, and these resolutions
were submitted to the separate colonies
to be acted upon. The Congress of the
Confederation could only recommend.
The convention that framed our pres
ent Constitution passed a resolution at
the beginning of the sessions that the
House resolve itself into a Committee of
the Whole House, to consider the state of
the union The wording of this resolu-
tion would be most appropriate for use

came to be adopted for legislation in

the report of Il committee of which Mad
ison was Il member in the first Congress
IN 1iS9, even before the inauguration of
the President, was, sit shall be a stand
ing order of the day through the ses-
sion of the House to resolve itself into a
Committee of the Whole House on the
State of the Union"
There never was any rule limiting the
time of debate of members in the House
until about 1910. l think, or whereabouts,
Later, the five minute rule was adopted
The rule was the same as now, that after
general debate closed In Committee OF
the Whole House on the State of the
Union upon any question, the five min
utes' discussion could be had upon any
amendment, and no bill could be reported
from the Committee of the Whole House
on the State of the Union SO long as a
member had an amendment he proposed
to offer.
But under the Old practice (and the rule
is not changed) he offered an amendment
and was allowed five minutes to advocate
it. and one speech of five minutes in op-
position was allowed. and then it was the
duty of the chair to put the question on
that amendment. Then you could not
move to strike out the last word and talk
on anything else, which is an innovation
that prevents the perfecting of legislation.
The five-minute rule, if inforced. would
make sure that every bill should be read
through in the Committee of the Whole
House on the State of the Union. and so
long as anybody proposed an amendment
it could not be reported to the House; and

or to Captain Philips official show Of
Christian spirit in announcing to his

We have increased by conquest the
population of the United States by
nearly 10000 people. The capital has
a population of 5000 people. This
harbor in which we were is beautiful,
easy of access, plenty of deep water,
admitting of the presence of a large
number of vessels at the same time,
and is an ideal place for coaling sta
ton. If our government decides to
hold the Philippines, it would then
come in so well San Francisco to
Honolulu, 2,1OO miles Honolulu to
Island of Guam, $500, and thence to
Manila, 1000 miles.
With chain of supply stations like
this, we could send troops the whole

sci with a steaming capacity of $500
miles, could reach base of supplies.
The details 1 have scarcely touched
upon, but had the officials and soldiers
dreamed for a moment that they were
to be torn from their homes, there
would, l feel sure, be another story to

letter would never have been written.
The captain, extending to me his
congratulations, remarked "Brauner-

live, have another such experience as
this !; 1 congratulate you on your
work"
All this whole affair was transacted

CHILDREN'S DAY AT CHAPEL.

There Was a Large Attendance and the
Occasion Was q, Success.
Correspondence Of the Yorkyille Enquirer.
ZADoK, August S.-The ,Children's
Day picnic at Kings Mountain Chap
el, last Saturday, was a grand sue
cess.
1 had thought that almost every
body who had attended the Tirzah
encampment would have had enough
of it and there would not be more than
two or three dozen present.
Instead of two or three dozen, there
were half hundred dozen. The beau
tiful grove around the chapel was
thronged with happy picnicers from
all the surrounding country, and the
day was spent most delightfully."-.
The exercises were commenced at
about 10 o'clock a. M, with music by
a carefully selected choir, led by Mr..
w. M. Stowe, with Miss Annie Thom-
asson at the organ. Quite number
of selections were rendered and all
were interesting not only to the young
folks but to the old folks also.
An interesting feature of the gather
ing of young people was the presence
of some very old ones. Uncle Robin
Love was there, and so also was
Major T. P. Whitesides. These two
old gentlemen, both in the last quarter
of a hundred years, had not seen each
other for nearly q generation, and
they had fine old talk about the
things of long ago.
There was plenty of good things for
everybody to eat; the behavior of the
big crowd was perfect, and the day
generally was one to be proud of.

construction, and has suspended work
upon them until revised plans can be
made.
England announces that henceforth
in the construction of her battleships
speed will not be sacrificed in order to
protect them with heavy armor. This
conclusion undoubtedly resulted from
the fact that the armor of Cervera's
ships furnished little protection, since
it was easily penetrated by 6-inch and
8.inch shells.
A cablegram says that the new cruis.
ers soon to be launched by France will
carry no guns of extremely large cali
bre, but will have an increased num-
ber of rapid-fre guns of small dimen-
sions. This is directly in line with the
recomm endations of Dewey, Sampson
and Schley.
