Sam HuddlestOn, Aged Is, Has Been
Placed In Jail AT BateSyille.

Says the Batesville Guard /:
Sam Huddleston, q son Of Wiley
Huddleston, % years Of age and
born and raised in Gainsboro
tow nship, near Sharp, was COM
mitted to Jail this morning by
Justice Six, on a charge Of in
sanity. The young man is strong
in body and vigorous in health,
but has been mentally unsound
for long time. Lately he has
become more or less dangerous.
A. few days ago he attacked John
Broadwater, without warning,
and a hard fight occurred between
them, both men being severely
beaten. Broadwater made the
affidavit on which he was ar.
ralgned. 1t is said the neighbor-
hood has been in dread of him
for long time. When the JUS
tice ordered him committed to
Jail, it required four men to land
him there, so strong was his
resistance. The county has now
in the asylum three more inmates
than it is entitled to, whilo ap-
plications have been made for
the admission Of two others, and
three more are confined in Jail.

a Good Teacher Leaves the Pro

Mr.. John A. Jenkins, of York
vile, for the past three years
principal of Lancaster's Central
graded school, has accepted a
position in connection with the
National Union Bank of Rock
Hill and will enter upon his new
duties about July 1. Much TO the
regret of the officials and patrons
Of the school, Mr.. Jenkins was
not an applicant for reelection
as principal. A young man OF
pleasing manners and fine moral
character and an excellent teach
er and disciplinarian, Mr.. Jen-
kins made an enviable record in
Lancaster, both as citizen and
an educator, and the community
is indeed loath to give him up.
Good, uptodate, all-round teach
ers like Mr.. Jenkins are in much
demand nowadays and the pro-
fession, therefore, upon which he
has reflected credit, as well as
the cause of education, sustains
a distinct loss by his entrance
into another field of endeavOr.

, bill. The sixty-day race meeting at OakIawn park at Hot Springs opens next Monday and the opponents of the Amis bill are fighting for delay. S5O.000 For Pen.
 The senate today passed the house bill appropriating s50,0O0 to pay the current expenses of the state peniten- tiary. This is to pay bills already con- tracted by the penitentiary board, but which could not be paid because of the fact that there has been no ap- propriation under which warrants could be drawn on the state treasury. The money to pay the bills has been in the treasury, credited to the peni- tentiary fund, but could not be drawn out.
 sAnti.Frat'' Bill.
 Another anti-fraternity bill was in- troduced in the senate today by Sen- ator Floyd It is similar to the Bush measure introduced yesterday, pro- viding that students shall be com- pelled to sign a pledge that they will not join any Greek letter society at the state university.
 By Popular Vote.
 \ movement for the election of United States senators by popular vote was inaugurated in the senate this afternoon when Senator Wingo introduced ajoint resolution provid- ing that the United States congress be asked to propose an amendment to the federal constitution, making the desired change. It was also provided that a copy of the resolution be sub mitted to the other state legisla- tuures now ill session with a request that they take similar action.
 "Pistol Totin"'
 Two measures proposing to make the carrying of concealed weapons a felony were offered in the house to- day. One, by MT.

This bill further provides that no person shall | be permitted to carry pistol, even while on journey, which is per mittcd under the present law

Little Rock, Jan. 31.-Filibuster- ing tactics have been resorted to in the senate by both the supporters and opponents of the Amis anti-pool selling bill and as a result legisla- tion of all kinds may be delayed. Ef- forts to secure a delay have been made by those opposing the Amis measure, and they have succeeded in preventing the bill from coming up in the senate for final action, After the first hearing was held on the bill a delay of a day was se- cured, on the ground that a further consideration of the peti- tions presented in connection with the matter was necessary At a second meeting yesterday, the com- mittee on agriculture, to which the bill was referred, voted to recom- mend the passage of the bill, with an amendment exempting regularly organized race tracks from the pro- visions of the measure. This 11orn- ing Senator Amis endeavoreG to call the bill up for final action and for the first time in the session oblec- tion was made to the consideration of bill immediately after the re-
 ceipt of the committee report. Sen ator Amis then moved a suspension of the rules in order that the bill might be read the third time, but this motion failed to receive the necessary two-thirds vote. Senator Amis and his friends then proceeded to adopt fflibustering tactics of their own and sought to block every bill that came up at the morning ses- sion. II has been the custom in th ' senate to permit every bill intf0- dueed to be read the second tim2 and to permit local measures to be called up for final disposition at al most any time. In carrying out his plan of retaliation, however, Senator Amis prevented the second reading of all bills introduced and pre- vented action being taken on a num- Der of bills. Senator Amis has de- elared that he will continue the fight along this line until this bill is taken up and finally disposed of.
