NO CONSTRUCTIVE RECESS.
Senate Committee Makes a Report
That Rebukes President
Roosevelt.

Washington, Feb. 28.-The
senate judiciary committee to-
day made a report, written by
Senator Spooner and approved
by the Democrats of the comnait-
tee, declaring there is no such
thing as a Constructive Re-
cess" It is considered a rebuke
I'd the president. The question
arose last year, when the extra
session merged into the regular
session on December 7ta. The
recess appointment Of Gen.
Wood, Collector of Customs
.Crum and several others had
not been confirmed by the
special session, and in order
that they might not fail
the president held that there
was a constructive recess be-
tween the two sessions and is
sued other recess commissions to
the officers in question, thus con-
tinuing them in their advanced
grades and salaries.

COTTON LETTER.

New York, Feb. 2S.-The
large estimate at Houston for TO
morrow brought about another
break in the cotton today and
July sold at 7.20, the lowest fg-
ure in some tine. But the de-
preston was short as the mar
ket ran back to 7.31 for July
during the early afternoon. The
situation was unchanged. The
movement is as free as has been
expected for weeks but this does
not change the character OF the
market nor the real situation
Gotten is being held IN the south
because growers refuse 70 sell al
a sacrifice. The dry goods condi-
ton is excellent, tie best in
many years and cotton is now
I IA, not II II. This makes ak
the difference in the world. It,
will be some tine before the
world is Convinced that cotton IS
cheap, but as New York prices
get towards Z cents there is ev-
cry induce,nent to buy on any
break and sell OF advances. The
situation seems TO be gaining In
strength rather thall weakness
We have a very different kind Of
a market on the decline towards
Z cents a few weeks ago. The
market is likely to be narrow but
we would buy on good breaks
now. Ware g Leland.

front of living men in the State for
the qualities that make for leadership.
He was president of the Piedmont
Manufacturing Company at Piedmont,
and of the Orr Mills in Greenviile,
and director in various banks and
other business institutions.

HIS LIFE.

JuQge ;JaW6S H. OEf,s,/Ut duuoISou,
whoe was Speaker of the National
House of Representatives before the
war, Governor of South Carolina i'm
mediateiy after the war and American
minister to the Russian Court. His
mother was member Of the distin-
puished Marshall family Of Abbeville,
and he was born in Abbeville at the
home of Dr.. Marshall, her father,
August 80, 1852. The gallant Col.
Foster Marshall. of the Mexican war,
who was afterwards killed While COM
manding regiment of the Confeder-
ate army, was. his uncle.
S Col Orr's first public service was as
private secretary to his father at the
Court OF the Cars in 1872 and 1873.
s In 1876 be was elected by the Demo
cfats member Of the South Carolina
General Assembly from Anderson
County. He was then a young law
yer. He was an active, aggressive
and daring participant in the fight led
by Gen. Wade Hampton for the re-
demption of the State: His splendid
services in, the long, bitter contest
after Gen. Hampton's election for the
possession of the State House will
never be forgotten. It was he who
led the advance on the Republican
20 M ackey House, when the Wallace
House. . which had been meeting in
the old Carolina Hall, determined to
enter the hall of the House OF Repre-
sentatives, where B. w. M. Mackey
and his motley crew were in session.
His six feet five or SIX inches, tow
ering above his fellows crowding at his
elbow eatsthe entrance to the hall, as
big man in body as in brain, Law
renee Orr threw his great strength
against the locked door, brushed aside
the sergeant-at-arms and the Wallace
House, following IN his wake took
possession.
Col. Orr becale a popular idol. In
1873 he was elected solicitor OF the
| 9Th circuit to succeed Col. W. H.
Perry. AS a prosecuting officer he
was marked success. He was not
an orator III the ordinary Acceptance.
he was man Of common sense. His
mind went straight to the meat OF
every subject. He could speak good
English if he chose, but frequently
he murdered the Kings English
aid spoke regardless of grammatical
and rhetorical rules. But he never
uttered a meaningless word. He was
always clear. His homely, vigorous,
clewing phrase was understood by the
yeomanry of the Piedmont and they
sssWore by Law Orr. AS an effective
speaker it is doubtful if he had any
equal in South Carolina except Soma
| tor Tillman.
Retiring voluntarily from the soli-
citorship, Col. Orr settled down to
the practice of law in Greenville in
tn, early eighties. The firm was at
first Wells & Orr, the late Capt. G..
G. Wells being the senior member.
After wards Mr. NJ F. Ansel end
! udge j. S. Cothran entered the firm
and it became Wells. Orr, Ansel &
In 1891 Col. Henry P. Hammet,

then. Col. Hammett was enc Of the
most successful OF the pioneers. Who
should succeed him? It was q grave

wisely in selecting his son-in law,

Congress mas uQally GeL6rnl1beG lG
would seem to conduct an investiga-
tion of The now famous Usage Indian
oil lease. Nearly ten years ago, one
Edwin B. Foster was granted with
the approval of the Secretary of the
Interior, a blanket lease covering l, :
800, coo acres of land presumed to COLI
tain Oil with the provision that Foster,
or his heirs or assigns gay TO the IN
dians 0.per cent Of the gross receipts
for the oil extracted. In time, Foster
assigned his lease 20 the iudian Ter
ritory Illuminating Oil Company and
it subleased the land for various
bonuses and approximately per cent
OF the gross receipts. Secretary
Hitchcock denounced the Foster lease
as scandal and declared that Foster
and his successor had done nothing
in return for their bonuses ard royal
ties that be lease should be extended
to protect the suo-iesses who had
invested their capital in good faith,
and the Senator introduced legislation
providing for such extension. Now
Secretary Hitchcock has declared his
intention of extending the original
lease on go, coo acres "to protect the
vested rights of the sub-iesses, but
Congress is inclined to ask why it
was necessary to extend the original
lease to accomplish this end Repre-
sentative Stephens of Texas and others
ask why the sublesses could have
been protected by making directly
with them renewals OF the leases they
