Mr.. Frost, of Charleston, told of his

Mr.. Frost Of Charleston, told Of his
Introduction to Mr.. Moses year ago.
He had then believed him to be a man
who could be trusted. In the ways
and means committee room he had
been taught the first lessons Of how
best to serve the people Of South Car
olina. The confidence Of the House in
Mr.. Moses was shown last year, when
it accepted, without amendment, the
entire appropriation bill, and had later
accepted without debate his sugges-
tons in regard to the Senate's amend
ments
Major Haskell, Of Richland, told Of
the confidence Of the members in the
perspicuity of Mr.. Moses. With MI.
Moses in favor of a bill the battle was
half won. He was dignifed without
being austere. He was genial and
kindly. He was in every way gentle
man.
Mr.. Beamguard, of York, had been
associated with Mr.. Moses in one way
and another for ten years. In all Of
that time he had found in Mr. Moses
a man whose heart always pulsated
with patriotic emotions in his inter-
est in the welfare of the people Of
South Carolina.
Mr.. Sinkler, Of Charleston, spoke Of
Mr.. Moses as one who would not try to
dazzle with brilliance, but would try to
accomplish with careful and persist.
ent effort. He concluded with an earn
est recognition of Mr.. Moses's steadfast
friendliness for the City Of Charleston
at time when it required no little
manhood to do So He was noE a bril-
liant man, but he was a true man, an
able man and he loved South Carolina.
Mr.. Banks. Of Orangcburg, told that
Mr.. Moses had turned to him that
tribute Of soul which is the highest
type of the mind-kindness.
Mr.. Higgins declared Mr.. Moses to
be man who stood for the right.
Newberry county wants to lay a
wreath of immorfelles on his grave.
Mr.. q. II. Kershaw, of Florence, re-
called the fact that he and Mr.. Moses
had been young legislators together in
1886, when the House Of Representa-
tives met in the old Agricultural Hall.
He had been impressed then with the
fact that ,dr. Moses was able and was
broad-minded and with it was willing
to help others. He had come back to
the Legislature after a lapse Of years
and had found him the same man.
The value of his services cannot be
calculated and will never be known.
The House then adjourned until noon
on Monday.

Darlington, January 1S.-Miss Sal
lie Ham committed suicide here to-
day about 2:30. She was boarding
with her cousin, j. K. Doyle, and at
tending the graded school and had
just returned from a holiday visit to
her mother, Mrs. J. F. Ham, Of Tim
monsville Not the slightest intima-
ton on her part was given Of her in
tention. She was about 10 years old
and had declared she did not intend
going to school any longer. Her
mother and brother came up today to
see her, and she appeared to be in her
usual spirits, and they had just dined
with her and left the house, where
she was staying, when the fatal shot
was fired. They were overtaken and
notified Of the tragedy, and returned
70 town at once.
Mr.. and Mrs. Doyle were dining af-
ter the other members Of the family,
including Miss Ham, had dined, and
as they took their places at the table
they heard pistol shot ring out in
the house. Investigation revealed
Miss Ham lying on the floor in her
room, with smoking revolver by her
left side, the fingers Of her left hanL
burned with powder. and bullet hole
in her chest, just above her heart. Her
clothing was on fire at the point of
entrance Of the bullet. Mrs. Doyle
extinguished the fire before it had
done any damage, the place burned
being not much lanrger than the bull
let hole.
Miss Ham had just returned to her
residence from visit with Mrs.
Doyle from down town, where they
had purchased new hats, and two
minutes before the fatal shot was
fired she was showing the new hats
to the members of the family with
apparently much elation.
1t is reported that Miss Ham wished
to marry a young man of the Tim
monsville section, and that, instead of
consenting to the marriage, her moth
er had sent her to Darlington to
school, in order to get her away from
her home, and to prevent, if possible,
the marriage, to which she was very
much opposed.
Coroner J. \. Cianton held an in
quest this afternoon. and the verdict
of the jury was that the deceased
came to her leath by self-indicted
wound.-News and Courier.

pected and it created general interest
throughout the senate chamber and in
the galleries. The quiet that prevailed
was almost oppressive, and it was none
the less marked when Mr.. Tillman
rose to reply. He said:
st have SUCH respect for the great
ability, high character and patriotic
services of the senator from Maine,
and have had such intimate associa-
ton with him during my service here,
which is not half so long as his own,
that he cannot say anything in the
way Of reprimand to cause me to- lose

addressing Mr.. Hale directly), that
am not defaming Theodore Roose-
welt and I have not allowed my per-
sonal feelings, supposing I have any,
to dictate one utterance Of mine to-
day. want to say to you, sir, that if
you will offer resolution appointing
Republicans alone, to examine into
the facts, I will give you the names of
four witnesses as reputable as you or
I, who will swear to the statement I
have made as to what actually oc-
cured
3I say before Almighty God, it is not
true" he exclaimed With feeling. Mr..
Tillman then read typewriter state
ment from a newspaper reporter, who,
he said, was an eyewitness of the
White House incident in which the re-
porter stated that he had seen Mrs.
Morris carried off Like a sack Of salt
with negro at her heels and her dress
hanging over her knees
Give US the name Of the witness, ,"
Mr.. Gallinger suggested, but Mr.. Till
man declined, saying that he prefer
red holding it for the proposed inves-
tigation. He added that he had names
of four men who would testify to these
facts as stated.
Here Mr.. Tillman stopped abruptly
to move the appointment Of commit
tee OF investigation. He suggested that
five senators be named for the pur-
pose Of inquiring into the incident.
Mr.. Hale suggested that as the pro-
ceeding was informal the motion
should be withdrawn and brought in
proper shape tomorrow and Mr.. Till
man consented.
Here Mr.. Hopkins interposed an OBJ
lection to the entire proceeding say
ing that he saw mo more reason why
the senate should investigate the af-
fairs of the presidents household than
that the president should investigate
the personal affairs of the senator
from South Carolina
| Mr.. Hale said that he had not pre-
tended to bind any senator by assent
| ing to such resolution, but that so
far as he was concerned he would not
oppose the resolution.

Senator Daniels Plea.

Mr.. Daniel then took the floor and
entered a most earnest plea with Mr..
Tillman not to present the resolution.
He evidently regarded the matter as
of very great moment and scarcely
raised his voice above conversational
tone. He referred to his feeling Of at
tachment for Mr.. Tillman, and said:
This is a very delicate matter and
I hope the senator will refrain entirely
from presenting such resolution as
he has indicated. It is to be pre-
sumed," he went on, that the presi-
dent will do what is right in his own
house, the house Of the first citizen
Of the country, and / regard such a
resolution as an invasion of the COM
ity of government"
Not only did he reprobate the pre-
sentation, but he expressed regret that
any allusion had been made to the
Norris affair and hoped that nothing
more would be heard about it on the
floor OF the senate. This is not
tribunal which ought 10 take 5urls-

At this point Mr.. Hale interrupted
Mr.. Tillman to protest against the lat
ter's presentation concerning the Nor
ris incident. "I hope" he said. delib
erately. that I may never figure in
this body as a general apologist Of the
administration or any one connected
with it" and continuing said:
"But say to the Senator from South

no warrant, and that he is making the
most serious and defamatory charges
