HendersOn's Fall Down.
The reporter asked Congressman Fin
ley yesterday for his view Of the fall
down Of Speaker Henderson in Iowa.
1T MEANS" said Mr.. Finley, unless
I am very much mistaken. that the
trusts, which control the Republican
party, have all the law they want on
the trust question, and they are will
ing to let the Democrats have the next
house in order that there will, be no
further legislation on the subject. If
the Republicans should continue in con-
troll of house. senate and presidency,
they would have to answer to the peo-
pie for trust legislation; but as they do
not want any trust legislation, they
are willing to turn the house over to
the Democrats, and it will be their pol
icy to prevent anything from being
done and try to. make the Democrats
share the responsibility"
Rock HilPs Homes.
Rock Hill correspondence Of the Co.
lumbia State: There was a time not
long since when the residential archi-
lecture Of the magic city" was point
ed at by neighbors, less progressive
otherwise, and by visitors from away
as being far behind Rock Hills repu-
tetion. This Is not true now. Steadily
each year the tendency has been mani
Tested toward building handsomer and
more substantial homes, until now we
have numerous examples which would
do credit to a city Of $4,000 people.
During the past two years there have
been built some which are not eXcelled
in the upper part of the state. At
present there are two residences being
built on Johnston street, those Of Mr..
Thos. L. Johnston and Colonel E. B.
Mobley, which are fine specimens of
the colonial style. and being on the
highest point of the city they show
up well. Mr. H. f. White. whose work
is becoming known all over this Sec
tion, is the architect.
