SENATORS DIFFER.
Colleagues Who DO Not Think Alike, and
Are Even Unfriendly.
w II ri In ChipopO Record

Colleagues Who DO Not Think Alike, and
Are Even Unfriendly.
w. f. Curtis in Chicago Record.
We have scriptural authority for be-
lieving that houses that are divided
among themselves cannot stand, and
therefore, we may look for falls in the
United States senate, where the divis-
ion Of opinion among colleagues was
never 50 great as it is today. In the
state of Indiana, for example, MIR. Fair
banks and Mr.. Beveridge, and in the
state of Illinois, Mr.. Cullom and Mr..
Mason, do not agree on scarcely any
topic; but they are not half as bad as
some of the other senators. In New
Hampshire the Hon. William E. Chand-
Ter has been trying to get his colleague,
DR.. Gallinger, indicted and sent to the
penitentary for violating the statutes OF
the United States. Mr.. Frye, of Maine,
and Mr.. Lodge, of Massachusetts, are
the redhottest expansionists in Wash
+ington, while their colleagues are the
strongest kind Of ants. 1t was only
recently that Senator Hoar used page
of a popular weekly to prove that the
policy of the administration is wicked
and vicious, while Mr.. Lodge took
another page to prove that it is patri'
oic and righteous. Senator McComas
and Senator Wellington, of Maryland,
do not speak as they pass by. The re
lation between Mr.. Tillman apd MIR.
McLaurin, of South Carolina, are very
little more friendly. Mr.. Cafrey, OF
Louisiana, is a gold standard, antiex'
pansion free. trader, while Mr.. McEnry
is .free-silver.e expansion -protectionisl.
The two senators from Nebraska are
about as different as fire and water,
while Messrs. Pettigrew and Kyle, who
used 10 20 around arm in arm, have
only an official acquaintance these days.
Mr.. Mcbride, of Oregon, believes in Il
tariff on Puerto Rican products. MIR.
Simon from that state is a last ditcher
for free trade. Mr.. Ross, of Vermont,
is an anti.expansionist. Mr.. Proctor
would annex everything within reach /:
and so they 60. But there is no state
in the Union where the harmony be-
tween senators is illustrated in such q
beautiful manner US in Michigan. Mr..
Burrows and Mr.. Mcmillan always
agree on everything, and if they hap
pen accidentally to differ they pitch q
penny to see which shall give in.

broad open day. A pretty good idea
of what may be expected TO occur is
to be gathered from the following de-
scription of an eclipse that was wit
messed in Southern France. The de-
scription is by Prof. ]. Russell Hind,
of the Royal Astronomical society of
London, and has been furnished to The
News and Courier by DR.. J. H. Car
Isle, of Wotiord college.
During the eclipse of 1912 nearly
the whole population of some of the
principal cities of southern France and
Italy, which were upon the central
line, turned out to view the rare phe-
nomenon of total deprivation OF the
suns light in the day time. At Paris
Mr.. Bailey says, "lhere was an unusu-
al shout, which made the welkin ring"
at the conclusion of the eclipse; and
M. Arago, who observed at Perpignan,
says: "Nearly 10000 persons cover
ed the terraces, ramparts and other
eminences about the place and that
an astounding shout from the multi
tude announcing the extinction and
temperance OF the suns rays. At
Milan, Padua, etc., the excitement was
equally great. "Long live the astron.
omeis!" was the cry when the rose
colored flames burst forth on the bright
ground of the corona, during the total
observation. Two hundred years pre-
viously many OF the inhabitants of
Paris hid themselves in caves on the
mere announcement of an eclipse of
the sun, which was total in that city.
In July, 1S42, in the south of France,
horses attached to vehicles came to a
decided stand, and no exertions of the
drivers, though backed by the whip,
could induce them to proceed until the
sun had again appeared. Cattle in
the fields congregated together imme-
iiately after darkness came on, as if
in apprehension of an attack. Dogs
in particular appear to have been SEN
sensible of some unnatual event, howl
ing plteously during the deprivation of
the suns rays, or hastily seeking some
place of safely. n n The birds
in the trees, near Lodi, suddenly ceased
singing at the moment when the total
obscuratiou came on. At
Milan the bees quilted their hives in
great numbers soon after sunrise; but
returned to them in haste Immediately
the last rays of the sun had vanished.

"A Shanghai cable of April 7, indi'
Gates strong probability of early

Boxers. This society has been giving

Cotton Seed OIL MIL for Greenville.

Greenville News, Saturday: A new
cottopseed oil mill is to be built about
half a mile beyond the Brandon mill,
just outside the city limits, on the
Southern railway, and will be connect
ed with the road by spur. The CAPT
tai stock is to be not less than $15, 900
nor more than $4,000. Twenty thou
sand dollars has already been subscrib-
ed and the mill will start operations in
time for the next cotton season with
a capacity of 90 tons day and will
draw its supply OF seed from splen-
did cotton section. Leading farmers
in Greenvile, Anderson and Pickens
counties, near the proposed site, have
subscribed to the stock.

- Says Tiffton, Ga, dispatch OF
Sunday: The Georgia Saw Mill asso'
citation, representing some 300 yellow
pine mill plants in Georgia, South Car:
olina and Florida, at a meeting held
here yesterday, decided by a practical
ly unanimous vote that on and after
May 10 all mills belonging to the mem
bers of the association will be run on
two.thirds time. This will affect thou
sands of operatives, and decrease the
output of yellow pine in this state near
ly third. 1t is understood that the
limited supply of yellow pine timber in
sight is largely the cause of this action,
as the association doubtless thinks
prices should rule higher in view of the
small supply. 1t is by no means Sc
cret that many of the larger mills only
have enough standing timber in sight
to last three or four years, while even
the most fortunate only report sufficient
in sight to run seven and eight years.

THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

The Democratic Executive commit
tee has been called to meet in the
court house at Yorkville next Satur-
day, for the purpose of setting the
ball in motion for the next political
campaign, now about to begin.
The principal duties of the execu-
tive committee will be to issue call
for the next county convention, which
will meet in Yorkville on the first
Monday in May, ascertain the number
of delegates to which each precinct
will be entitled, and agree upon a
schedule of assessments on candidates
to pay the expenses of the campaign,
etc. There will be, Of course, other
routine duties to perform.
There will be only one county con-
veution this year. 1t will, among 9TH
er things, elect new county executive
committee and a new county chair
man, and select delegates to the state
convention to be held in Columbia for
the purpose of selecting delegates to
the Democratic national convention,
aud making such changes in the party
constitution as may be deemed advis-
able, etc.
The county executive committee, of
course, will have good deal of work
to do during the summer, and it will
have to hold. several meeting during
the progress. of the county campaign.
Its duties, however, are for the most
part of a routine nature, involving
more or less time and labor. In view
of the fact that there will probably be
nothing to fight in the way of opposi-
tion to the regular Democracy as now
constituted, there is no reason to ex.
pect anything else than plain sailing.
