The Hon. Tom johnson, who was In
tae chair when the vote was taken IN
the House on the Columbia bill, was
very severely condemned by the wills
kayites for his ruling. But he did
n ,thi1g more than any fair, impartial
ana intelligent parliamentarian would
have done. When the roll call had
finished, Mr.. johnson bent over the
sneaker desk to hear the announce
ment OF the clerk below: as he
Strengthened up and was about to de-
clare the result his eye rested upon Mr..
Owen. with his hand raised asking to
change his vote. MIR. johnson of course
recognized him and ordered his vote
changed as requested from no to aye.
And the whiskeyltes raised great
hullabaloo, not because they had not
been treated fairly, but because MI.
Johnson was fair and firm enough to
treat both sides fairly. What they
wanted was for Mr. johnson to take
snap judgement in their favor and
against the majority. The delay they
complained of was but for mo-
ment, while the regular Speaker, Mr..
Tyson, time and again, has taken &C.
casion when he was interested in the
passage of bill, to inquire after the
roll cali was completed. to know II
any member had not voted; and has
even gone so far, more than once, to
send the sergeant at arms out into the
hall and adjoining rooms to look TOR
members. And yet in the face OF all
this, the whiskeyites kicked because
johnson gave one old and crippled
man the time to rise and change his
vote. But they found in him man
they could neither brow beat nor bull
dose, and all they succeeded in doing
was to heep disgrace upon themselves

The death OF Col. j. q. McGowan,
of Chattanooga, removes one OF the
ablest editors IN the South. He was a
forcefui writer, man who possessed
wonderful knowledge of pubic men
and affairs, and his work has made lts
impress not only upon Chattanooga bnt
upon the whole South. the interests
of which he always defended and was
ever ready to promote. He was the
contemporary of those Southern editors
whose work since the war has done so
much to regenerate the Southern
country, and his WORK will live long
after him.

WILL BE A LAW.
Bill to Re-ClsfrIct Maury County
Passes Senate and Is Now Up
to the Governor.

A telephone message was recel yea
from Capt. A. A. Lipscomb from Nasn-
Vile Wednesday stating that the bill
redistricing Maury county had passed
the Senate and was now awaiting the
Governors signature. Capt Lips
comb thought he would sign it that
afternoon.
The changes wrought by the redis-
tricting will be as follows:
First district.-To be composed OF the
LIST, 18th and 18th districts and will have
a population of 1884.
Second district. -Composed of the
10Th and goth districts, with population
of 1868.
Third district 22nd, 23rd and 25th
districts. Population, 3,50S.
Fourth district. Bird, 4th, q and 24th
districts. Population, 3,5OS.
Fifth district and 9th districts.
Population, 1871.
Sixth district.-7th, 9Th and 18th
districts. Population, 4,214.
Seventh district.-12th and 18th dis
tricts. Population, 1882.
Eighth district-2nd 10th, 14th, 18th
and 10th districts. Population. A. 36.
The Ninth district (Columbia) will re-
main as it is, with a population of 1858.
This district will retain its present num-
Der Of magistrates.
TO ESQ. George W. Hayes, of Column
.bia, great credit is due for the passage
of this bill. He has labored earnestly
FOR it in quiet, but unwaverlng and
most effective manner, working while
the enemies of the measure were asleep.
Esq. Hayes has been receiving many
congratulations to day from many lead
ing citizens on his fight. To Represen-
tative Lipscomb and Senator Erwin, who
put the bill through, the people OF
Maury county are greatly indebted. The
bill will prove of incalculable bene-
fit to the county. One of the leading
citizens OF Columbia, and one of the
most prominent lawyers at the local bar,
said to-day that it was the greatest thing
that has happened for Maury county IN
years, and while he was temperance
man and worked hard for the Dlspen-
sary and four mile law for Columbia, ne
was rejoicing more over the passage OF
the redistricting bill than if the four
mile law had carried yesterday.

HANG CREPE ON THE DOOR.

1t was very thoughtful and lot
inappropriate that crepe should be
hung on the doors Of many OF the
homes ana some of the offices in Co
lumbia. The decorators should have
gone further and tied to the doorkno D
of every home in Columbia the sombre
evidence of sorrow within; for 1t was
indeed sad day in Columbia.
If the day could pass without re-
curing, it might be soon forgot; bue
alas the Senate vote that in mock
merriment caused crepe to be hung on
the doors today, Will Rang it there in
fuller meaning In the days yet to come.
Many an anxious mother In Colum-
bia today feels the crepe OF despair
upon her heart. Many poor and shlv-
ering wife sees and feels the black
mantle of hunger settling upon the
home. Many man even, with the
awful drink habit upon him, as he
feels the thirst guawing upon his will,
and in his innermost soul had hoped
that the law might take the accursed
temptation from him, sees already the
crepe upon his only door of hope, and
will yield himself almost without
another struggle to the enemy OF his
soul.
Aye, indeed upon the churches
and the homes ana the hearts of Co.
lumbia, the crepe of sorrow--not of
defeat of sorrow for the stun
bling the weak and the headstrong ;
sorrow for the young lives that will
De blighted by that Senate vote !;
sorrow for the middle aged and old
men, some OF whom might have been
reclaimed, out who now are doomed
to drunkard's graves, rs certain as
there IS a hell.
Tie the crepe on the doors OF our
homes, but tie white bunting and
colors and garland the saloons with
emblems of joy. The day is theirs,
let them enjoy 1T Let them drink
and be merry! Let them exult ana
rejoice and make glad Though they

MAKING OF CLAY PIPES.
Process is Not as Simple as Might
Be IMAGINED.

Among the little things seen in daily
life about which most people know
very little is the common, ordinary clay
pipe. In almost every cigar shop win
dow, in the mouth of every third Ia
borer met, and even in the
nursery, this snow white little instru-
ment of comfort and amusement may
be seen; yet few know, for instance,
that most of the clay pipes sold in
this city OF domestic make are manu-
featured over In New Jersey. Wood
bridge Is the name of the queer little
town given over to this odd manu-
facture, and trip through one of the
factories of that settlement, to follow
the pipe from the time it Is dug as clay
to the time it appears ready for the
market, is interesting.
Looking at the chunks and Jumps of
clay as they are transported from the
banks to the factories, one would
hardly believe that the snowy, cheap
little article could have been manu-
featured from material so different in
color. The color Of the clay. before 1t
Is burned, is dark gray, like cement.
Nor Is the process of manufacturing
one of these pipes as simple as might
be imagined from the absurdly low
price.
AS the clay comes into the factory 1t
water for ten or twelve hours. This
soaking is to divide the clay to it's
smallest possible particles so that in
the ensuing process it will not cake or
lump, and viii work smoothly and
evenly. This attained, the clay is put
into a pug" mill, where 1t is stirred by
machinery until it gets sitter and stiff
fer, until finally it becomes stiff as
dough. In this state the clay is rough

among the pipemeakers, who begin the
first step in the line of the humble Gre
alton.
Grasping a small lump Of clay IN
each hand, the artist begins work to
fashion roughly two pipes at the same
time. Rolling the clay between a table
and his palms, he quickly produces
two carrot-shaped and pointed rolls
that bear little or no resemblance to
the article when it will be finished.
With Incredible speed the fashioning
of these rolls continues, for ahead Of
the expert Is the problem Of manu-
featuring something like seventy-five
gross OF pipes within the week. Then
the rolls are put away to dry some
what, and for ten or twelve hours they
stiffen so that, once shaped, they will
not fall readily to pieces. After that
the clay is ready for holding.
The ordinary mold consists of two
pieces of iron hinged on the side and
opening like a sewing box. Most of the
little factories have numerous molds,
from the common, unadorned sort that
comes in two pieces, and Is intended
for the ordinary plain pipe to all sorts
of elaborate patterns that come IN six
or eight pieces. and are made of brass
and intended to fashion pipes In imita-
ton of wooden models that happen to
be in vogue. The pipemaker grasps one
of the shapeless rolls, tits the fat end
upward-which at once gives the sug-
gestion of a pipe-and runs a wire
through the pointed end, out of which
the stem is to be pressed.
This roughly fashioned clay Is then

shut. while at the same time a plunger
is pressed to enter the mold and to
press out the clay so as to form the
bowl. With dull knife the clay press
ed out at the side of the mold Is shaved
off with single lightning stroke by
the expert, and then once more there
must be a drying process, this time In
a room heated to about SO degrees.
where, as before, the pipe Is kept for
II hours. Except that the pipe is Of its
original gray color and soft and sup
piled with the "burrs" where the
nodded ends are joined, 1t is now prac-
tically finished.
Then comes the process of showing
off the burrs At this stage the pipe
still retains considerable dampness so
that the clay may be cut smoothly.
while at the same time a wire is again
drawn through the stem, so as to in
sure proper draught. All is now ready
for the pipe in it's final state, except
that 1t needs to be burned. For this
purpose 1t is put into q cylindrical
vessel IL inches high and as much In
diameter. This Is known as a "sagger."
Set one against the other, the pipes
are adjusted solidly I'm the sagger. which
will hold something like a gross OF
pipes properly packed.
If the pipes consist of the more
fancy designs-that is. being merely
pipe bowls that are to be provided with
mouthpieces of wood or rubber-the
saggers will hold as many as two gross
of pipes. Nine of these saggers filed
with pipes are known as a stand, and a
medium sized kiln will hold q stands
and will burn them all at the same
time. For five hours the heat In the
kiln Is kept at moderate tempera-
ture. After that 1t Is allowed to run
up, until at the end of II or II hours 1t
is driven to a white heat, which gives
the pipes their spotless white finish

WEAK TONE IN WHEAT
AS IN THE CASE OF CORN AND OATS,
1T CLOSES AT A DECLINE
Opening Is Steady, but Lack of Offerings
Induces a Feeling of Weakness-Trade
Is Quiet With scalpers Inclined to the
Selling Side.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Weakness was the
rule in the grain and hog products to-
day. wheat showing loss at the close
for September of Nc. Corn was down CSC.
while oats closed &c lower. Provisions
were 7k@17c lower
The start in wheat was steady at a
small decline on better cables and small
offerings, but lack of the latter brought
from the opening, nc. loss of &c to
76Rc. Trade was very quiet and feature
less with scalpers inclined to the selling
side; There was a temporary reaction
on fair buying orders from st. Louis
which carried September up to TIC. but
1t did not hold. The close was weak, at
765sc, a loss of 1sc.
Primary receipts for today were All, 800
bushels. and for the week 2,601 900 BUSH
els, against 2.6S6,000 last week and 5.142,-
900 year ago. Clearances of wheat and
flour were equal to 100000 bushels. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported receipts of
rs cars, "a of contract grade, made to-
tai for the three points of 222 cars.
against 205 last week and 457 a year
ago.
Support Lacking In Corn.
There was fair support in corn early
by local traders who bought at a small
decline, but the offerings We're about
equal to the demand and some of the big
commission houses executed selling or
,ders on every bulge Later support be-
came lacking. and with free liquidation
on favorable crop news. the market turn
ed weak and closed with September show
ing a loss of &c at 1917 @495sc, after
ranging between that figure and 503sc.
Local receipts were 260 cars, with 20 of
contract grade.
Oats ruled lower, with free selling by
commission houses. Wheat influenced the
decline. although the sentiment was
bearish on crop conditions: Trade was
of small proportions, with the leading
long on the selling side. September
closed with loss of 1sc at 327s @33c. the
bottom price, and ranging up to 1914 @
3asc. Local receipts were 240 cars
Provisions were strong early on the hog
situation and showed a small advance.
but offerings became free and the close
was easy with September pork down $50

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-07-19

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Trading in to-
days stock market was dull and profess
sionaI The tone of the narrow specu-
lation showed sentiment very q aou aa r,,,
in the day on the assumption that yes
terdayS upward movement had discounted
a favorable bank statement so that no
further rise could be expected after its
publication. There was a momentary
rally when the statement appeared, but
the selling was renewed and prices re-
coded to a level substantially below last
night closing dull and heavy, without
any rally.
The gain in cash was almost twice as
much as had been anticipated. but the
small loan contraction was disappoint-
ment in view of the heavy liquidation in
the stock market. 1t was hoped that the
large portion of the weeks railroad cor
poration loans which Were abroad and
the fact that the Pennsylvania company
has begun the repayment of its SIX
months notes would result in a subStan-
tiaI contraction of loan obligations. The
fact that the decrease amounts only TO
$z,5l3. 500 gave rise to supposition tnat
the banks have been putting out some re
newed loans on large scale to private
individuals with the proceeds Of the
weeks liquidation.
Gat After Copper Again.
Pressure upon Amalgamated Copper
was renewed and its decline of nearly
points. the weakness of st. Paul and a
3-point drop in Consolidated Gas caused
a bad impression upon sentiment. Rock
Island was again forced down to yester-
days low record level.
NeG York Central was supported and
recovered a 1-point decline. The Toledo,
ST. Louis & Western stocks made sharp
rallies from yesterdays violent breaks.
There was large belated declines in some
of the inactive stocks which had not yet
been traded In during the late period OF
reaction The encouraged views of bust
ness situation expressed by the weekly
commercial reviews and the large per-
centage of increase in gross earnings Of
railroads, according to latest reports. were
ignored in the trading.
The bond market was weak, with some
recovery in sympathy with stocks. United
States bonds We're all unchanged as COM
pared with the closing call of last week.
