Washington, Jan. 5.-While the
senate was il session for more than
three hours today little in way of i'm
portant legislation was accomplished.
Committee amendments to the army
reorganization bill to which no obiec-
lions have been raised were agreed to
but none of the contested amendments
were considered.
Washington, jan 5.-The feature of
debate upon the reapportionment bill
in the house today was a two-hour
speech by Mr.. Littlefield (Me.), in ia.
vor of the Burleigh bill to increase the
membership of the house to 1856. He
had number of sharp exchanges with
Mr.. Hopkins, chairman of the census
committee, in which he sustained his
reputation as hard hitter and vigor-
Gus debater During the course of the
day Mr. Hopkins expressed his willing
ness to accept the amendment to his
bill which would give an additional
representative each to Florida, Col
orado and North Dakota.
Washington, d. c.. Jan. Tn spite
of the almost unanimous testimony of
the officers of the army to the effect
that the canteen or post exchange is
in the interest of real temperance, the
senate by the unexpected vote of "a to
5, agreed to the house amendment
totally abolishing the sale of liquors in
the army.
Washington, d. c., Jan. S.-By a
vote of 165 to 102 the house adopted
the Burleigh reapportionment bill as
substitute for the Hopkins measure.
The Burleigh bill fixes the member
ship of the house at 3S7 and does not
reduce the representation of any state.
but increases the representation of
twenty-one states and provides for
thirty more members than are now
authorized. The Hopkins measure
provided for a house of 357, the size
of the house as now constituted. and
deprived eight states of one member
each and increased that of seven
states. The states that would lose

Commencement Week
0I A|Tl0 COLLEGE
interesting Programs which were
Well Carried Out.
A Great Credit 10 The Faculty, Gradu-
ating Classes and Others Who Took
Part in the Exercises.

The fourteenth annual commencement
of Alma College. was a grand success M
every minutia. The exercises were of q
high order, and the addresses by distin.
gulshed men Of the slate, presented al
array Of talent seldom eXceled.
The weeks exercises began Sunday
evening in the Presbyterian church with
the Baccalaureate sermon 20 the class Of
1901, by Rev. a h. Bruske.
He announced his text from Hebrews
-: and , "Wherofore, seeing we al
so are compassed about with so great a
cloud Of witnesses, let Us Icy aside every
weight and the siu which doth SO easi.
ly beset us, and let as run with patience
the race that is set before us. Looking
unto Jesus the author and tiuisher If
our faith who for the JOY that was set
before Him endured the cross, dcsp.slng
the shame, and is set down at the right
hand of Coo ."
President Bruske before taking up his
theme, told the class that this was per.
haps the last sabbath and the last ser
vice they might ever enjoy together;
that their memories would ever wander
back 20 this occasion and the mauy
pleasant, and profitable days spent in
Alma College Referring Co the subject
of his text he charged thvnf torun with
patience, the race set before them they
should not try 10 win the applause Of
luan, and gave as his reason, that even
the moss Nble statesman might be ap
plauded today and Kissed tomorrow.
He also charged them TO lay aside every
habit that would weaken them in body
or in mind TO not begin hfe's race with
spurt. for il is long race, and he who
goes slowly and mindfully along, will
be more sure of winning success in life.
The address Was mastery one, ana
was well received by the class and large
audience present. 4 choir of twenty
voices furnished excellent music, and
Miss Couat and MIR l. ; BaGley, fav.
ored the audience with vocal solos.

A large audience was present Monday

day exercises. The exercises began with
burlasQue by the freshmen. Then
came the grand powwow and annual
shiudig of the sophomore class, in which
"a. burleSque graduation program was
given. Both performances called forth
many hearty applauses, and no one
seemed TO enjoy them more than the
faculty, Notwithstanding that many cute
and witty sayings were directed TO them
After this part of the program, the class
of 1901 held their exercises, which were
very interesting. Miss Daisy l. Hard
gave the class history in very pleasing
manner, and the same could be said of
Miss Carolyn Butler, who read the
class prophesy. Mr. Henry Bush gave
the parting advice TO the juniors in a
grotesque but serious manner, and Wat.
son Robinson completely captivated the
audience with the class grafton.

A GREATER mileage OF railroad

that railroad corporations consider

Augusta Chronicle.
A gentleman from Clark;s Hull
said yesterday that he had the au-
thority of Mr.. Berckmans himself
for the statement that ther3 was
no reason under the sun why the
district around Augusta should
not produce as fine peaches at as
reasonable an expenditure Of mon
ey and labor as any place in Geor-
gia. And the aspect of things at
Clark's Hill is bearing out the as
seation. Last year there was set
out between 25, and $4,000 young
trees and there are now in bearing
about 1000. Only the most ap-
proved methods are employed. The
growers keep in thorough touch
With the leading entomologists
and employ the best insecticides
and sprays. AS consequence, the
best results are obtainsd, The
peaches are packed in fancy crates
in an up-to-date manner, and
therefore, bring good prices as
fancy fruit.
Clark's Hill is making monty
from lis peach crop, why can't
others in this vicinity do likewise?

Mrs. Leila Lowe.

A sad death was thaat of Mrs.
Leila Lowe on last Sunday morn
ing. Mrs. Lowe was known in
Edgefeld until her marriage as
Leila Grs.y, the daughter If Mr..
and Mrs. Charlie Gray, the former
of whom departed this life about
two months ago. She was married
to Hiram Lowe. formerly of North
Carolina, about five years ago, and
was the devoted mother of two
children, a little boy and girl of
three and four years respectively.
She was quite young, only about
twenty-one years of age, was a
good daughter and q great comfort
to her bereaved mother. She died
in the membership of the Edge
field Baptist church, There is only
one explanation and one comfort
for this mystery of mysteries, it is
that death is only a transition to
a better and more glorious exls-
tence; she has gone to the home
prepared by her Savior for her,
where there shall be no more pain
nor sickness, no more sorrow nor
crying, no sun nor any heat,where
the Savior is the light thereof and
Himself "shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes,. "He that
overcometh shall inherit all things,
and will be his God, and he shall
be my son."

tance of 10 miles, miners cabins,

small streams and rises rapidly,
and this water spout came SO sud
denly the entire basin was flooded
and before the horror stricken peo-
pie realized what was upon them
they were swept away by the flood
together with everything in it's
path The town of Keystone, With
a population of about 1000, seems
the greatest sufferer, practically
the whole town being destroyed.
This town is the principal one in
the Pocahontas coal fields, being
located lear it's centre, and was to
a great extent headquarters for the
miners to purchase supplies. At
this point there were some IL or 10

by means of ropes from the VIM

of them carried down the streams.
1t is estimated that from 15 to ~
were washed away between Blue-

Death of Charley Gray.

The following paragraph was
published in Saturdays Granite
Vile News, which is news to the
people of Edge6eld:
''There was general row in the
mill village at Edge6eld last Sat-
urday evening, in which Charlie
Gray was shot by J. J. Miller and
Marshal Banks was severely cut
by Dan Coward. Gray's wound
proved fatal, and he died Wcdnes-
day. Miller is in Jail. Mr.. Gray
lived in Graniteville up to few
months ago, when he moved to
Edgefe!d. He had many acquain-
here who regret to learn of his
death"
Gray is not dead. We do not
know where the News received its
information, but its informant
did not confue himself strictly to
the truth. Probably the News
read the account of his being shot
and thought a man couldn't get
shot without being killed. You
better be careful about taking live
people as an obituary subject, for
death is no respector of person,
and your subject might be thu
means of you being humiliated.
Just imagine the publisher of the
News reading a notice like this
"Sidewhiskers, late editor of the
Graniteville News, died OH the 32d
of Juvember, O000. Deceased died
from the wound of an unloaded
pistol which he had in bis pocket
while writing comments on the
errors made by his local contem-
porary, the Aiken Times. With

pear that the damage rivals that at
Johnstown and is equal to the Gal
weston horror in its intensity, SO
far es concerns the per centage of
popuIation lost and property dam
aged. 1t is said by the telegraph
officials that the lines are useless
between Bluefeld and Kenova, a
distance of 200 miles. The nor
nal population of keystone is
about 1000, and as last night was
Saturday there ls no telling how
many miners had gone into the
village to trade. 1t is estimated
200 lives alone were lost at Key
stone.
The loss of life is estimated at
500 or 600, and possibly this num-
Der will be swelled when fuller de-
tails are obtainabla.
