THEE IloUsE.


 Washington. March 1.-The House to- day concluded general debate on the District of Columbia sapprpp pgiatiqp bill. A variety of subjects other than the blli was discussed Mir. Sheppard lva.) spoke against the tariff; Mir. Adams (Pa.1 in favor of the restriction of inauguration. Mir. McDermott (N. J.) made an anti- trust speech, and asserted that the price of raw sugar had decreased since the passage of the Cuban reciprocity bill, without a decrease in tho price paid by the consumer. Mir. Miers (Ind.) discuss ed the ship subsidy. Relief for the Southern tobacco raisers was advocated by Mir. Hopkins (Ky.) and Mir. Flood Cva.1 through the repeal of the six cents per pound tax on stemmed and twisted tobacco.
 Mir. Powers (Adass.) made strong ap- peal for the improvement and beautify- ing of the national capital. He advocated additions to the systems proposed by the Park Commission. Mir. Powers hoped that the time was near at hand when the nations of the earth would cease building up big navies and prophested disarmament within the century.
 Mir. Hopkins argued in favor of the Gaines bill to remove the internal reve- nue tax on on 'stemmed" or twisted tobacco when sold by the producer. He charged that certain plugs of tobacco turned out by the ''trusts' contained many ingredients beside tobacco. The producers of the tobacco, he maintained should be placed on the same footing as the growers of corn or wheat and be allowed to stem and twist their crop without being subjected to tax of six cents 8 pound.
 Mir. Flood Cva.) followed in advocacy of the same relief to the tobacco growers of the South. He declared hotly that | judging from the action of the Republi- | can executives during the past seven years, the tobacco growers could expect | no relief from the tobacco trust, and consequently appealed to Congress. Mir. McDermott (N. J.) gave notice that he should endeavor to fight the trusts through an amendment to the eonstitu- | ion, giving Congress authority to create and regulate corporations. He asserted that the reduction of the tariff on Cuban sugar had resulted in lowering the price of raw sugar. but not the price of sugar to the consumer. He based this state ment on the testimony of representatives of Hawaiian sugar interests and said that the price of raw sugar had fallen to the amount of the reduction of tariff on Cuban sugar.
 But" added McDermott, 'T cannot ex- pect that anything. not including an ap- propriation, can gain the attention of this banquet hall
 Referring to the remarks of Mir. Will Hanson, Mir. McDermott said that atten- ton might be secured for a bill to pro- vide for the celebration of the six thou sandth anniversary of the departure of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden or some later event.
 MT Miers Gnd.) entered a protest against a ship subsidy. He declared the pending bill for commission to investi- gate this subject was but the same old question, with mask on. It should be stamped on as a rattlesnalze, he declared.
 This closed the general debate. Al 5:O7 p. m. the House adjourned.

A SHAME UPON THE COUNTY.

a 5hA NJ OEOH II x WV Az =.
III the committees report is trne, and
there is every reason to believe that It
is. the condition and management of the
work house hands, and the behavior of
the Superintendent a shame and dis
grace upon Maury county, and explana
tions all along the line are in order.
The County Court should explain why
they elect commissioners who will
elect such man as this man Sellers
seems to be, Superintendent. And
the commissioners, if they haye any
possible excuse to offer. should explain
why they elected him. And Judge Cor
don should explain why, two or three
months ago, when his attention was
called to this disgraceful condition
of affairs, he did not then suspend the
Superintendent and report the matter
TO the Court. It is humiliating to learn
that the County Court of Maury Coun-
" will elect to office such men as the /
proof shows this Superintendent to
be-. 1t is reflection upon the Court;
and a shame upon the County. 1t
shows the strength of the whiskey
influence in the Court.a it emphasizes
the absolute necessity of Kidding not
only the Court but all the county offices
OF that influence.

The Record for the State.

Mr.. w. T. Frierson, of Ashwood,
30 far as reports from various sections
OF the state show, is the champion
wheat grower of Tennessee.
Last week he harvested his crop and
it averaged 45 bushels to the acre on
So acres. The Nashville American
for the past week has contained news
items from various parts of the State 10
regard to the average Of the wheat crop
as il has been harvested, and no report
has shown higher average than 80
bushels
Mr.. Horace Armstrong also OF the Ash
wood country, had one acre which
produced the remarkable number OF
sixty-one and half bushels. Thus
Maury County leads all the other coun-
ties 10 wheat growing.
The biggest crop in the county was
raised by Mr.. f. p. Brumbaugh, Of
Spring Hill, who had leased the Ewel
farm land. He raised about 1900
bushels, and has already sold the
crop to Mr.. Brown, along with over
loo head of steers, for $4,000. The sale
was made during the past winter As
the crop has not all been harvested, IL
cannot be learned yet what was the
general average.
