Should be "Killed Dead"

The News and Courier:
1t is hoped that the bill intro.
duced by Citizen Ashley of An
derson county, providing for tho
abolition of the department of az.
riculture and immigration, will bs
"killed dead" without debate.
There is nothing whatever to
commend it to the favorable con-
sideration of the members of the
general assembly. There is more
promise in the department of i'm
migration, as it is at'present organ
lied, than in any other depart
ment Of the State government.

Columbia, Jan. 16--The State
board OF canvasssrs today, after
session lasting several hours, de-
cided to d'sallow tho protest of
citizens of Edgefeld, in the mat
ter OF the election for Calhoun
county. There is a protest to be
heard from Greenwood on We'd
nesday, but as it is along lines
similar to that from Rdgsfeld, it
may be expected that q similar
decision will be reached, thus in
suring the formation Of the coun-

An Instance i'll Which Compul-
sorry Vaccination Would Have
Saved Life.
Newberry Observer.

Newberry Observer.
The following, which is vouched
for by Columbia physician, may
prove interesting reading to some
New berrians who are kicking
against compulsory vaccination:
A man at the CRANKY mill ,ill-
age in Columbia refused to be
vsceinated and would not permit
his family to be, and as it was not
compulsory he had his own way
about it. Shortly afterwards he
took the smallpox and died. Just
before he died his physician told
him of bis condition mad said if
no wanted to leave any request he
must do it quick. His response
was that he wanted his wife and
children vacclnated at once. His
request was carried out; but his
wife came near dying too, as the
vaccination had not had time to
act as preventive or modifier of
the disease.

SENATOR BATE OF
TENNESSEE DEAD
Succumbs to Death After a Few
lays Sickness.
MEMBER OF SENATE 1s YEARS

ennobbee Legislature NolouTns Out
Of Respect for Him-Wlll Name 4lt
Successor This Session,
Washington, March 9.-United
States Senator Brimage Bate, Of Ten.
nessee, twice governor Of his state,
a veteran OF both the Mexican and civ
Il wars, rising from private to major
general In the latter and for 1s years
a conspicuous member OF the upper
house Of congress, died at his hotel
apartments in this city today, aged rs
years. Death was due to pneumonia
and defective heart.
Senator Bate attended the inaugur
alton ceremonies on March 4, and his
death is believed to be due primarily
to exposure on that occasion, as he
suffered a slight chill on that day. He
however, continued his official duties
and occupied his seat in the senate
last Tuesday He became suddenly
III at the dinner table that evening
and Immediately called for a physi
clan. He was put to bed and his con
dition was recognized as serious. De
spite the efforts Of his physician he
became steadily worse and all hope
for his recovery was given up yester
day. His lungs, however showed i'm
provement, and IL is probable he would
have recovered but for the weakness
of his heart which is attributed not
only to his advanced age, but the seri
Gus strain to which it had been sub
iected by a long-standing asthmatiC
condition.
Senator Bate was entirely conscious
until his death. Besides the widow,
two daughters, Mrs, Thomas F, Mas.
ten, Of Tennessee, and Mrs, Childs, Of
Los Angeles, survive the senator, A
brother, Captain Bate, Of Tennessee
and sister Mrs Harris, Of California
were sent for but were unable to reach
here before his death.
Senator Bates remains will be TAX

Miss Mamie Gaines.

This lady's visit to Madison was a
great inspiration to all who heard
her. There is something inexpressi. L.
bly, touching in the thought Of look
ing into the face OF those who have
spent their lives absolutely for 9TH
ers. Miss Gaines was a teacher in
Leesburg when she heard the call to
service eighteen years ago. She
went to Hiroshima, Japan, and all
these years has labored there, a part
Of the time a co-worker of our own
Miss Thomas. During her work in
the Girls School at Hiroshima she
has seen il grow from a very pitiful
beginning to the largest christian
school in Japan. She gave an ac-
count Of the opening Of Japan, Of
how japanese was converted in
San Francisco and returned to do a
great work with his own people ;how
a Virginia lady, by gift of $40 90
yearly educated a Japanese girl who
started kindergarten for the chill
dren Of the army officers stationed
there, and many other interesting
facts to prove Gods leading in ia
pan missions. Miss Gaines, VINO
has been at home for much needed
rest, will return to Japan shortly.
She will be long and lovingly remem.
bercd in Madison.
