Drs. c. II. judson and ]. II. Car
isle.

Mr.. j. Frank Fooshe, editor Of the
Winnsboro News al Herald, and an
educator Of ability and experience, in
commenting upon DR.. Judson's gift to
Furman University, writes as follows:
''Not only would Furman and the
Baptists be greatly helped by the con-
summation of this noble enterprise,
but it would be great thing for the
whole of the educational interest of the
State. But it should not be lost sight
Of that as great as is the financial gift
that DR.. Judson now makes to TIE in
stitution with which he has been con-
nected for more than half century,
yet be has already given to that insti-
tuition what has been Of tar greater
value than any amount that may be
named, and that is more than q half
century of the very best work Of bis
life and that when he was getting calls
from many other institutions at
larger salary. What Furman owes to
this great teacher that has stood with
her in the midst Of all her trials is not
to be measured in dollars and cents.
The true teacher, and surely that is
what DR.. Judson hes been IN the
greatest sense of the word, is OF far
greater value to an institution than
any financial consideration. 1t is men
that make an institution, and all the
accumulation OF endowmeEts and ap-
propriations are naught if the men
are not the moving factor.
"We never think Of the work that
Dr.. Judson has done so well for Fur
man without thinking of the life that
DR.. Carlisle has given for Woford.
There are many parallels in their lives
in connection with the institutions in
which each has spent half century or
more. So thoroughly have their lives
been given for these institutions that
one can not think of Wofford without
thinking of DR.. Carlisle; and it is
equally as impossible to think of Fur
man apart from the man who, after a
life of unselfsh service and abundant
labors, comes in at this trying hour,
to prepare Furman to take stand that
would not be possible for her other
WISE All honor to Dr.. Judson forohis
great devotion to Furman in the yea1s
that are past, and for this crowning
act of devotion to an institution that
stands for the largest denomination in
South Carolina and for what is best
in all educational work.

a Railroad Project.

For several years past the people Of
Manning have been entertaining hopes
that>at sometime they could induce
Mr.. Thomas Wilson to bring his rail
road to Manning. Recently be talked
as though he would consider the mat
ter seriously, and looking to that end,
some work was undertaken last Satur-
day. with view of properly present
ing the matter to him.
Acting under the direction of Mr..
D. M. Bradham and Maj. A. Levi,
Mr.. E. j. Browne made survey last
Saturday from the railroad crossing at
Banana, this side of Jordan, to a
point on the Central railroad, east of
Ok Swamp, and opposite the residence
of Nh. J. H. Timmons. The route is
almost due NORTH. and is only frac-
ton over five miles, and would be easy
territory to build road, there being
no cuts, high embankments or exten-
sive trestle work. A petition will be
drawn up and presented to Mr.. Wilson
at the earliest day possible, when it is
hoped he will see the way clear to
build the road here, which as before
said would be only i've miles. Man

Thursday.

today adopted a resolution directing
the judiciary committee to inquire into
the official conductof Charles Swayne,
Judge of the United States District
Court for the Northern district of
Florida, and to ''reporS whether the
action of the House is requisite -
DR.. Lamar, Democrt, of Florida,

There was a lively debate before the
resolution was adopted. A number of
the members on the majority side
sought to have the resolution referred
to the judiciary committee. that a re-
commentator might be obtained from
tht committee before voting on its
adoption. The minority solidly sup
ported Mr. Lamar in his opposition to
the motion to refer, and several Re-
publicans voted against reference.
There we're but few dissenting votes on
the motion to adopt the resolution.

CASES OF SMALLPOX.

the situation. Most of the disease is
said to be on the johnson place.
DR.. P. B. Bacot went out there to-
day on al inspection tour and will
likely begin a general vaccination all
in that section. Since DR.. Evans
visit it is said that several more cases
have developed and that the disease
is spreading.

OF small pox among them and perhaps

LEVERS SEAT IN DANGER.
Election Comnattee May Declare
Place Vacant.

Washington, Dec. Objections
committee No. i today announced that
it would take up Monday the contested
election case of Dantzler against Lever.
Chairman Mann said that it involved
questions of the constitutionality of
the laws under which the election
occurred and ought to be taken up and
disposed of.
Mann's remark indicated that the
Republicans are going TO make some
capital out of suffrage laws of the
South. If possible they are going to
use the case Of Lever as an example
and they will spout and froth for cam
paignspurposes, but will not undertake
to enact any general laws relative to
Southern seats. The unfortunate part
is that Lever may be used as an exam
pie. While Dantzler will probably not
get the seat, Lever may lose the seat
by his seat being declared vacant.
Testimony will be given Monday. and
it will be submitted to the House
before long.

The Contest for Seat in the Up
per House Promises to be Ex-
ceedingly Interesting.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The congress
sional callers at the White House are
manifesting increasing interest in the
case involving the seat of Senator
Smoot of Utah. and the indications
now are that the contest which, it is
asserted, is certain to result from the
present agitation. will rival in impor-
tance and in earnestness the case Of
Brigham Roberts before the house of
representatives a few years ago. While
the president is familiar with the de-
velopments thus far in the Smoot case,
no effort is being made by either side
to draw him into the controversy, the
realization being general that it in
wolves question which the senate
must determine itself.
That thorough investigation of the
subject will be made by the senate
committee on privileges aud elections
now appears to be beyond doubt. By
those who are pressing the investiga-
tion it is said it will be more compre-
hensive than any similar inquiry ever
has been. An effort will be made to
ascertain accurately the attitude of
the Mormon church toward the gov
ernment of the United States and to
learn whether or not member Of that
organization is bound by any pledge
or oath, the taking of which is incom-
patible with his oath as a senator of
the United States.
It is believed by some at least Of
those who are opposing Senator Smoot
that any effort made to prove that he
is polygamist would result in failure,
and while that point cannot be said
to have been abandoned absolutely, it
is quite certain that the position he
holds in the Mormon church is incom-
patible with the oath of allegiance he
has taken to the United States. That
proof mast b. ample, in the opinion of
senator's, before he can be unseated.
AS to the ability of the opposition
to Senator Smot to establish such a
proposition there is wide spread diver
gence Of opinion among senator's,
but there is pretty general agreement
that if it should be established its
result would be the unseasing of the
Utah senator,
