Tennille, Ga, April 22.-Candidate for
Congressman Hardwick speaks to-mor-
row at Warrenton and Congressman
Fleming at Thomson, and it is ex-
pected before the campaign progresses
much further that the two candidates
will get together on the same stump.
An Augusta paper, a warm supporter
of Mr.. Fleming, intimates that the con-
gresham will now meet Mr. Hard
wick, if Mr.. Hardwick so wills. Mr..
Hardwick has an active campaign club
in Sandersville and three stenographers
are daily employed in writing to the
voters of the district. In addition to
this, Mr.. Hardwick is making one or
two speeches a week. and is spending
the balance of the time in making a
house-to-house canvass. With the ex-
ception that this congressional race
is one within the party, it is safe to
say that it will be as warmly conduct
ed, personally. as was the Watson
Black campaign during the days of
Populism.

STEWART CONTRACTING COMPANY.
Columbia Creditors Decide to Put 1t
in Hands of Receiver

Columbia Creditors Decide to Put 1t
i'm Hands of Receiver.
Columbia. S. c.. April 22.-The affairs
of the Stewart Contracting Company of
this city and Savannah, Ga, were on
Saturday last put into the hands of its
creditors, who after looking into the
condition of the company, deemed it
best for all parties concerned to wind
up at once, and Mr.. Charles d. Haskell
of the Columbia bar was selected as
the attorney to institute proceedings in
bankruptcy in the United States courts.
The unexpected suspension of large
contracts on which ii was engaged to-
gether with the ordinary winter stag
nation peculiar to the building and
quarry trades. and its inability to real
ize promptly on outstanding accounts.
are the reasons given for the failure.
IT Is to be regretted that the affairs
OF the company should have become
involved, as the character of the bust
ness 1t conducted necessitated the en-
ployment of a large number of men
here and in Savannah, where 1T had
branch connection, and elsewhere over
the Atlantic states where it did general
contracting, quarrying and dredging
business, employing at times as many
as a thousand men
The gross assets of the company are
approximately $166,000 and the liabili-
ties about $4,000. The Stewart Stone
Company is in no way involved in the
troubles that have overtaken the Stew
art Contracting Company.

FOUGHT OVER A DITCH.
Brothers-in-Law at Sumter, S. c.,
Used Shotguns ON Each Other.

Brothers-in-Lnw at Sumter, s. c.,
Used Shotguns on Each other.
Columbia, S. c., April ga pitched
battle took place in Groomstown near
Sumter yesterday between Charley
Grooms and his brother-in-law. Tom
Council. Double barrelled shotguns
were used, and it is said more than 20
shots were exchanged. Both parties
were hit several times, but as the fight
was at long range and bird shot were
used. neither was seriously injured.
Connell was shot in the legs, arm and
body: Grooms was shot in the face,
chest. arms and ear. Each took out
a warrant for the other and both were
arrested. The men were released on
bond.
The fight was the result of a family
feud that has existed for several years,
the feud having it's origin in row
over ditch that passes through the
Grooms' land. The ditch has been filed
and opened several times by the con-
tending parties, has been carried into
court, and has caused considerable
trouble for both sides. Yesterdays
fight was not the first since the trouble
began, but was the most protracted
and serious since the beginning of the
feud.

Many Contestants at Athens in the
Psychologist and Ethical Debates.
Athens, Ga. April 22.-All the ar
engagements have been made for the

York, each year for excellence in the

WOMEN AND THE UNIVERSITY.

Absolutely Against the Rule of the
Trustees for a Woman to Speak
There.
Athens, Ga, April PA few days
since Miss Lollie Smith, of the State
Normal School, was chosen to repre-
sent that institution in the exercises at
the University commencement, where
representatives from all the branch
colleges appear and deliver orations
in the chapel. 1t is hardly probable
that Miss Smith will be allowed to
speak on the University stage, as 1t is
absolutely against the rule of the
trustees for any woman to speak there.
The question has been brought off,
cially TO the attention of the body, and
while the general sentiment is in favor
of allowing her to represent the Nor
nal school on that occasion, it is not
likely that such will be allowed.

ATLANTA'S INSURANCE RATES.
Chamber of Commerce Committee
Condemns Increase, but Makes No
RecOmIne ndatiOns.


RecOmme ndations.
Atlanta, April 22.-The committee
appointed from the Chamber of Com
merce to investigate the recent increase
in insurance rates in this city to-day
made its report to President J. K. Orr
of that body and in it declares that
the increase is an injustice. The re-
port shows that the increase on bust
ness property has been from so to 70
per cent, while on residence property
it has been about 43 per cent The
committee asserts the increase has not
been caused by local conditions, but by
the fact that the insurance companies
have sustained heavy losses elsewhere.
The increase on business property is
general all over the country, but that
on dwellings applies to Atlanta alone.
The report goes extensively into de-
tails, roundly condemns the Southeast
ern Tariff Association, but concludes
without any recommendation, the in
5urance men having refused to make
any reduction.

KEEPING HOUSE. IN PARIS.
Everyone Dwells in Apartment ts, and
the Greatest Economy IL
Practiced.

Housekeeping in France is altogeth-
er different from what it is in America,
says Paris correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser.
The greatest economy is practiced by
the French. Separate houses are al
most unknown. Everyone dwells in
apartments. The prices of apart
ments are regulated by the number
of stairs one has to climb. Elevators
are scarcely ever seen.
In comparison with apartments in
America those in France seem bare
and comfortless. Rarely are any pic
lures hung on the walls, and there is
an absence of bric-a-brac and hang
ings. OF course, that applies to the
dwellings of the middle-class, we'll
to-do-people. The rich live sumptu-
ously, amid historic furniture and pic
lures, in the most elegant apartments.
The kitchen is usually one of the
most attractive places in a French
apartment, being provided with shin
ing array of copper teakettles, sauce
pans, ETC., all FURNISHED to the great
est degree of cleanliness. Every thing
is porcelain lined, and even if ten
ant remains no more than three
months the kitchen battery must be
done over afresh-at your expense, of
course. An ice chest is unknown. The
kitchen is provided with sort of box,
