GLEE CLUB CAPERS.
Open Air Entertainment Last
Night.

The Vinita Glee Club had
vocal and Terpsichorean, spre,
last night, and all who took par
in the high jinks had a skookun
time.
The principal scence of las
nights performances was on the
platform of the Katy depot. Il
was a free show but the per-
formers hadn't the faintest sus-
picion that the meek, lowly and
pious borse editor Of the Daily
Indian Chiettain was there and
drank in great gulps Of the gen.
eral hilarity.
The program opened with the
singing of a jubilee song which
was finely rendered by most ex-
cellent male quartette. The boys
received hearty and deserved en-
core. The club then lined up and
gave minstrel performance which
was hugely enjoyed by the specta-
tors.
And that stag dance ! That's
where the boys Shone resplendent
in all their mystic glory. Girls
you missed the treat OF lifetime
by not be able to witness that par
ticular performance.
At the stating Of the stag dance
here was slight hitch on account
of the inability of some of the boys
10 act like girl: but the basso
profundo OF the male quartette
was equal to the occasion, and by
! happy thought he selected the
young fellows who had the largest |
'eet to act the part OF ladies. 1t |
worked like charm and soon the
lance was on with a whirl and a
Vhizz that was exciting as we'll as
'xhilirating to behold.
The nights entertainment was
inally wound up by the male
luartette singing in beautiful style
musical gem entitled " The Life
saving Crew."
In conclusion the pious horse
ditor of the Indian Chieitain
would softly remark that what the
Tinita Glee Club don't know about
Iaving a gord time on the @. T. is

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, March 2.-Interest in
the Porto Rican tariff measure has been
transferred from the house to the SEN
ate. Consideration of the bill embody-
ing substantially the provisions of the
house bill and in addition providing for
temporary form of civil government
r the island. was begun.
Senator Foraker (rep., Ohio, chairman
of the committee on Pacific islands and
Porto Rico, being in charge of the
measure. Scarcely had the reading of
the bill been concluded, when Senator
Teller sill. rep, Col) proposed an
mendment providing thai the purpose
OF the pending bill was simply to estab-
lish temporary government in Porto
Rico to allow the inhabitants to estab-
fish permanent republican govern
ment. This amendment was followed
by another by senator Stewart (sil.
rep, New providing that Porto Rican
goods should be admitted free into the
United States. A spirited debate was
participated in by Senators Foraker,
Teller, Stewart and others. An hour
and half of the session was devoted to
consideration of the Quay case, SEN
ator Hoar (rep., Mass.) presenting an
argument for the seating of Quay.
Senator Elkins (rep., w. Va) said
Quay's merits or dement's, or his per-
sonality should have nothing to do
with the case. Senator Elkins main
tanned it was clearly the intention of the
trainers of the constitution. that each
state should be represented in the SEN
ate by two senators, that as corollary
to that proposition the chief executive
of a state is empowered at all times to
fill vacancies that happen during the
recess of the legislature The Quay
case was then laid aside
Washington, March 2. - Within
two hours after the special
message from the president recon-
mending the immediate passage of a
bill to have all moneys collected upon
Porto Rican goods since the Spanish
evacuation of the island used for
the relief of Porto Ricans had been
read to the house the house had passed
and sent the bill to the
senate. The message came like
a bolt out of clear sky to
the minority. They were at first in
clined to hail it with delight as reproof
of the majority for the passage of the
Porto Rican tariff bill. Repub-
lican leaders, however, had the
bill ready to carry the presi-
dents recommendations into eff
feet. Mr. Cannon (rep., Ill.,
asked immediate consideration.
1t was only when the debate opened,
!: having been agreed that 20 minutes
should be allowed on each side, that,
under the leadership of Mr.. Bailey,
(Tex.) the democrats began lining
up against the bill because it placed
no limitation upon the presidents dis

HINTS FOR FARMER
HOW DAT SMUT AND POTATO
SCAB MAY BE PREVENTED.
PROFESSOR GoFF TELLS
Seed Should be Saturated With a So
luton of Formalin, but the Pro-
cesses Somewhat Vary for Differ
ent Kinds-Methods by Which
Serious Losses May be Prevented.

The loss to the farmers of Wiscon-
sin due to smut in oats amounts to
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually. Practically all of this loss
may be saved by treating the seed
oats before planting, at very slight
cost, says Prof. Golf of the university.
All that is necessary is to thoroughly
saturate the seed oats with solution
made by adding one pound of formalin
to so gallons of water. To use this
remedy, place a layer of oats 3 or 4
inches thick on the barn floor and
sprinkle it with the formalin solution
until the oats are entirely wet. Then
another layer may be placed on the
first layer and sprink1ed as before.
The process should be repeated until
all the seed oats have been sprinkled.
Then they may be left in the pile for
two hours, when they should be
spread out thinly to dry. They should
be shoveled over once or twice day
until dry. If they are to be sown
broadcast, it will not be necessary to
dry them. Formalin may be pur-
chased at any drug store, and costs
from so to Is cents per pound. About
one gallon of the solution is enough
to sprinkle a bushel of oats, hence
one pound of formalin is enough to
treat SO bushels of seed oats. FOrma-
lin is not dangerous to use. The oats
will not be likely to be injured by it,
even if left in the pile somewhat
longer than two hours.
The value of formalin as proven
tive of potato scab has been demon
strated by several experiment sta
tions The treatment is easily ap-
piled, and gives in most cases crop
much freer from scab than untreat
ed seed, and in soil free from scab
germs the prevention is generally
complete Farmers are urged to inn
merse the unsprouted seed potatoes,
before cutting, for two hours in So
luton of one-half pound of formalin
in Is gallons of water If the tubers
are deeply scabbed, extend the time to
three or four hours. After treatment
cut the tubers in the usual manner
The same solution may be used five or
six times in succession if the INNER
sion is continued little longer each
time Farmers are advised not to use
the potato solution for oat smut, as it
is too strong, nor the oat solution for
potatoes, as it is too weak.

TIME THAT BIRDS GET UP.
Bright Little Greeninch Said to Be the
Earliest Riser

An ornithologist having investigat-
ed the question of the hour at which in
summer the commonest small birds
wake and sing, states that the green
finch is the earliest riser, and it pipes
as early as half-past one in the morn
ing, the blackcap beginning at half
past two. It is nearly o'clock, and
the sun is well above the horizon, be-
fore the first real songster appears in
the person of black He is heard
half an hour before the thrush, and the
chirp of the robin begins about the
same length of time before that of the
wren Finally, the house sparrow and
the tomtit occupy the last place on the
list. The investigation has altogether
ruined the lark's reputation for early
rising. That much celebrated bird is a
sluggard, as it does not rise until long
after the chafinches. linnets and a
number of hedgerow birds have been
up and about.

A NEW FANCY IN HATS.

The velvet hat is by all odds the
most fashionable for this season. but
is SO beautifully and fancifully made
that it loses the clumsy look we asso-
ciate with anything of velvet. Folds
an inch in width, but overlapping each
other so as to look only half their
width, are made of bias velvet and
form the entire hat These folds are
applied the same as straw braid, ex-
cept each row is put on in one piece
instead of making the rows run from
one continuous piece.-Woman's Home

otherwise provide by legislation and

Capt. W. B. Shaw for Congress.

To the Editor:-The Democratic party
in this district demands a strong man
to make the canvass for Congress- this
year: we want p mant who will fight
our battles on the stump and in the
halls of legislation. We want a man
whose party loyalty is beyond question
one whose record will justify the hearty
support of all the voters of the district
We think that the candidate that Vance
county will send to the convention this
year will be one that will fill the bill
in every particular. In Capt. w. B.
Shaw of Vance, we have man who would
worthily wear the honors and would man
fully bear the brunt of the fight. He is
a canvasser with but few equals and
scarcely a superior in the State. He
has canvassed TIE State in all the hard
fights of recent years and has given
the strength of his manhood without
that it would be but the fair thing to
give this tried and trusty champion this
token of the esteem and cofdence of
his sterling worth and strong and un-
swerying devotion to the principles Of
the Democratic party. If we stand square
at this time there will be no doubt that
success will crown our efforts. Vance
county would appreciate the honor Of
furnishing the candidate for this position
and our convention will call upon the dis
trict to aid US in nominating him.

Beckwith for Elector.

To the Editor:-Governor Vance said
that the horse that pulled the pillow
ought to have the fodder. and he might
we'll have added. some of the corn, too.
This is a rule on the farm; every Good
the faithful horse that has porne his part
the faithful horse that has born his part
of the heat and burden of the long, not
days, in the harvest time gets falr
share of the crop.
A similar rule might we'll be followed
in the political fields The one who mas
pulled long and faithfully in party traces
should receive some part of the party
crop. Long and faithful work of any
sort deserves reward.
DR.. L. P. Sorrell. of this county has
suggested 3. c. Beckwith as Wake
countys candidate for Presidential cleo
tor OF the Fourth district, and given rea-
sons for his suggestion. 1 desire to sec
ond DR.. Sorrells suggestion and give
my reason for so doing:
B. c. Beckwth has taken an active
part in every campaign since 1884, either
as secretary of the State Democratic
Executive Committee or in some other
position requiring much time and great
labor and his services were freely given,
the matter Of reward not being consider
ed. In the late campaign he took the
stu:,c@ in behalf of White Supremacy
and good government and made a number
of speeches. Three hundred or more peo-
pie heard him through a two hours speech
on the Constitutional Amendment at Ola
Soapstone Church grove, in this county,
August list. and we doubt if more con-
vincing argument and eloquent plea IN
that behalf was made in this county dur
ing the campaign-the good effects or the
speech were seen on election day. we
all knew that he stood high as an cd
vocate al the bar. but some were sur
prised at his powers on the stump.
He has never been a candidate for Of
fee he has received no party reward.
Now, if he wants the dictatorship, which is
an honorable but onerous place. he ought
to have It. Fee the reason given, let
us nominate him and show our apprecia-
ton of faithful party service.

Atwater for Congress.

To the Editor:-Hon. John w. Atwater
is rightly entitled to denomination for
Congress in view of every precedent Of
the Democratic party in this district and
other districts of the State. 1t will
take only casual recall to confirm this
unerring conduct of the party OF long
years standing as to become automatic.
A denomination always succeeds a first
successful canvass and election to even
up and equitably put the candidate, if
elected a second time in statu quo, so as
to leave him as we'll off in every way
as he was in the beginning of his first
canvass. This is common guaranty of
the Democratic party ito it's faithful and
successful candidates. Mr.. Atwater has
come up to the full measure of such a
candidate and even more can be said of
him that is not usually so note worthy
in other candidates.
He manfully and fearlessly took up the
banner of the party at a time and at a
crisis when the political sea was convuls-
ed and navigation was uncertain and land
ed it in the harbor of safety that enabled
it better to stand the storm and accom-
plish the achievements of the August cleo
tiCn lust passed
1t was the election of 1898 that was
father to the magnificent political sue
cess of 1900, from which the Democratic
party has been re-installed and our State
placed on a higher plane of excellence,
prosperity, peace and happiness. In
both of these political eras Mr. Atwater
was in the forefront of the battle and
his availability because of his relations
to our misled and conscientious Populist
friends unequalled by any man in the
Fourth Congressional district
Mr.. Atwater's availability for a like
reason is as necessary today as it ever
was then. The political history of Will
liams township, the home Of Mr.. Atwater
has been from its establishment the
purest Democracy, until some of it's peo-
pie were led into ether political paths
and in all things whithersoever it went
politically, was the result of the election
of Chatham county and the Congressional
district.
At this time it is not best to change
horses in the middle of the stream.
Fair dealing, justice and right will again
commend Mr. Atwater's denomination.
so mote it be-
