HOUSE.

Representative Babcock, of Wisconsin,
Immediately after the reading OF the
Journal in the House, arose to ques.
ton of personal privilege today. A news
paper publication had charged that he
opposed statehood because be had been
turned down for the craftsmanship Of
appropriations committee. He denied
il, declared that he had not applied for
the place, did not want it, and would
have declined it had it been offered him.
He also pointed out that he has always
been opposed to single or joint statehood
for New Mexico and Arizona. DE
denied also that he had surrendered his
views on tariff reyisiOn-said that be
still stood for revision of those schedules
that were higher than necessary to af-
ford adequate protection, and had simply
bowed to the will of the majority 10
dropping the agitation. He added that
the Wisconsin delegation was in favor
of tariff revision at this session of Con-
gress.
The House theu adopted the resolu-
tons calling on the Secretary of the
Navy for information regarding the
Connecticut and Louisiana, and went
into committee of the whole to resume
consideration of the Philippine tariff bill.
Mr.. Parker, Of New Jersey, spoke in
advocacy of the bill, which has been
before The House for 46 legislsiive hours.
General debate will close at 8 O'Clock
this evening. Under the five minutes
rule, a vote on the bill may be reached

We notice through the papers
that come to our desk from every
section that some towns have q
per capita dog tax of one dollar,
requiring every dog to wear a
badge. If all the dogs in Edge6eld
were taxed ole dollar per head it
would serve two good purposes.
Besides putting a goodly sum in
the treasury which could be ex-
pended in public Improvement, ii
would rid the community of 8
worthless class of ours That are a
menace 10 every man, woman and
child in the town.
Throughout the spring months
and thus far into the summer,
Edgefeld has been a very healthy
town. None can be found with a
better record. Now, if every home
owner will look after the cleanli-
ness of his premises, using lime
freely, we see no reason why this
good record cannot be maintained
throughout the remainder of the
summer. Bear in mind that a lit
tie precautiou may ward off much
suffering aBd anxiety, not to men
tion the heevy expense incident
to protracted illness.
Rev. William Aiken Kelly, who
dlsarp peared so mYsteriously about
two yearu ago while pastor OF the
Methodist church at North Au-
gusta, has recently been operated
upon in the hospital. in Charleston
for brain trouble, and has been
fully restored to his normal con-
dilion. 1t was found that pressure
upon the brain. caused the mental
alteration under which Mr.. Kelly
has been laboriug. His complete
restoration is very gratifying to
many persons throughout the
state. He ranks ameng the bright
est young ministers of the Metho-
dist Conferences.
Be constantly on The alert these
DAYS for mad dogs, and if your
dog has baen bitten by a suspi-
cious dog do not take any changes
but have it killed at once. Several
mad dogs have passed through
Edge6eld recently. The last one
appeared on Sunday morning and
was given hot chase by Mr.. Joe
Eve Minis. the expert mad dog
killer, who put an end to the
crazed brute on the northern out
skirts of the town. If you know of
any dog that has been bitten
which has not yet been killed re-
port it to the town authorities.
