Parker is bound to be elected. He

For two days officers and other IN
Gignant citizens of Bennettsville have
been securing that section in search
Of John Johnson, who is wanted for
criminally assaulting the 1G-5ear-old
daughter Of John Hooks, at McColi.
The crime was committed on January

known till last Saturday when she told
Il girl associate who was working in the
Marie cotton mill with her The news
soon reached Mr. Hooks and he founu
taat she nd been seriously injured. She
said she had not revealed her condition
sooner because the negro threatened to
kill her if she told. As soon as the
crime became known Chief of Police

town By some linlnowh route. Blood
hounds were put on his track and fol-

Appropriate to the Day.

To the Christmas dinner let us
bring every good and wholesome
thought, kind hearts and the spirit of
happiness. Let us call to us at that
hallowed hour the memory of loved
ones not with us now, whether they
be dead or living; let us give a
thought to the wayward, to the pris-
oner, about whose very cell the broad
charity of to-day twines a piece Of
holly; to the sick who lie on hospital
beds at this hour; to the men in
khaki who bear the flag In our far-off
tropic isles. and who may only dream
tonight Of the snow and home cheer
they cannot share; to those on the sea
in peril among the winter storms of
lake and ocean; to the babes just
breathing the first breath of life,
Christmas gifts indeed for pale, happy
mothers; to the aged who realize that
Christmas and death are coming very
close together about them; to the men
who labor in our great forests where
the snow banks up high among Gods
own Christmas trees; to all, men and
women and little children, shut out in
any way from the cheerful glow Of the
home fire, or who, having homes, may
have but little fire to burn. .

a Commenting on the present condi-

man said that it was due to the inn
naense expenditures made in prepara-

the navy and s11S,OOO.0OO for the
army, in time Of profound peace. He
denied, as Mr.. Lodge had charged, that

ing Of the navy. On the contrary. he
would have the navy engage ample
forces to !, guard American interests
everywhere. But he had had no idea
Of a navy 20 compete with that OF
Great Britain or Germany, because our
conditions did not require such nav.
He did not want navy for display, Dat

'I want economy in it." he said. and
he called attention to the effectual aid
given to Venezuela during the admin
istration of AIr. Cleveland. I'VE did

Op0 for navy with which to threaten
Colombia" He would reduce the
army from 100000 men as now au-
thcrized. to $4,000.
He did rot, he said confess that ne
would be willing to take money from
the excessive expenditures for the
army and navy, and give it to the st.
louis fair, the success of which was
pledged by the United States.

DOINGs IN CONGRESS
Discussion n the Senate on the
Treaty Question.
TlIIman Speaks PLAINLY.

After almost allowing the amend
ment to the urgent deficiency appro
prtation bill providing for a loan o.
s4,6OO,Oo0 to the st. Louis Exposition tc
go through without any discussion
whatever, the Senate Wednesday
changed its tactics just as the vote
was about to be taken and entered
upon a debate on the loan provision
which continued for about four hours,
and which was still in progress when
the Senate adjourned for the day. The
DEBATE was precipitated by a point OF
oraer made against the amendment by
MT. Bailey, who supported his point
With speech based on the theory that
gthe national government was not, as
such, concerned with the success or
failure Of any eXposition He was sup
ported by Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Eikins
While speeches were made in support
oil the amendment by Messrs. Hale,
ALLISON, Cockrell, Spooner, McComas
and others.
& Mr. Tillman said he wanted to say
something on this loan or gift" the
latter he thought, as it was not likely
5that the government would ever get
anything back. In the course Of his
remarks he said South Carolina had
had share of the steal that had
31een Secured by other cities and he had
helped to get it. What he meant was
.tRt this expenditure of money was
and unconstitutional.
4ssMr. Spooner remarked that the Sen
.apr from South Carolina had put him
sasf on record as participating In
;stsal.
&, .What mean," declared Mr.. TILL
man, man, "is that when Congress takes
money from the people and gives it
away for expositions it amounts to a

Some snicy Remarks.

Indiana and Kentucky locked horns
n the House Wednesday. The debate,
which involved nearly every member OF
both State delegations. was fast and
furious from start to finish. Kentucky
demanded OF Indiana the return OF w.
S. Taylor, that he might be tried for
the assassination Of William Goebel.
The assault was made by Mr.. James, OF
kentucky. and the defense was led by
Mr.. Crumpacker, of Indiana. Partisan
feeling rose to an extreme tension. and
as either side scored both applause
derislon resulted. The DEBATE was
based on the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill.
Mr.. James fired both sides Of the
House to interest and feeling by de-
claring at the outset that the Rough
Rider President" was ridiculous in his
message to Congress favoring interna-
tional extradition treaties. when one
State could not get from another fugl-
tive from justice He had, he said,
introduced bill in which the Federal
government made extradltion compul-
sorry in cases where persons had been
indicted for crime. For four years, he
said. Governor Durbin. Of Indiana. had
protected Taylor. who had been regu-
larly indicted in Kentucky for the muir
der of Goebel, "and yet l notice that
when Durbin comes to town." con-
tinued Mr.. James, she Is wined and
dined by this great Don Quixote upon
extradition, who absolutely confides
to Durbin the right to give the wait
ing and anxious world the news That
Hanna can run for President if he
wants to. And when we all read that.
we again declare the king can do no
wrong"
Mr.. Crumpacker, of Indiana. arose
to make a reply to Mr.. James. and
brought a storm of questions from the
Dem ocratic side.
The Governor of Indiana needed no
defense, began Mr.. Crumpacker. espe-
cially to anyone acquainted with the
Kentucky election of 1899. He declared
Taylor had been elected Governor; that
the Kentucky juries had been pack
ed" and that history would justify the
action of Indiana.
Mr.. Williams, of Mississippi. COM

juries were corrupt and rotten Ii

ous 10 suppose that all purity reisne;
