Senate and the President had done right.
Mr.. Spooner said he would have very
great contempt for himself II he could
not discuss the questions involved without
reference to the color Of the soldiers.
II was. he said. only legal questions that

Mr. Tillman explained that he had not
criticized the whole regiment. He added
there were many good negroes. AS TINS

working for him for thirty years. and he

"That is a question decline to dis

ways the Senator Is superior.
This elected from Mr.. Tillman the ex-
planation: when I say T. mean that
the white race Is superior to the colored
race. Now. will the Senator understand
me?" ..
Mr.. spooner dlsclaimed any intention to
discuss the race question. which he said
was entirely outside the present ques-
tfon. Senator Spooner was In the MIDST

rhority Of the President In the case When

Mr.. spooner holds that when the Fres-
tdent exercises his powers as commander

He also commended that Congress mas
no mower to legislate specifically to re-
store the soldiers discharged IN the pres

In all his experience in the Senate he
had never heard q doctrine advanced
which he regarded az more dangerous
than tho suggestion that the President

Several Senators have indicated that

MAY TALK RIVER
BILL TO DEATH
Fear Expressed That Friends Of

This Course.
SENATOR HOPKINS THE MAN

SENATOR HOPKINS THE MAN

WASHINGTON, d. c., January H.
The possibility of the river and harbor
bill being talked to death Is now being
considered by the advocates OF the bill,
which will carry total appropriation OF
about $70,000000 or more for the Improve
rnent Of waterways. 1t Is said that
Senator Hopkins. OF Illinois, has inti-
mated that he would kin the bill In this
manner, unless 1t carries @ large appro-
priation for the Improvement OF the Mis-
sissippi.
Delegations from States bordering on
the Mississippi are far from satisfied with
reports which come from the committee
room concerning what has been done for
tho Father Of Waters, and 1t Is said the
members from these States would not
only oppose but would approve having
1t talked TO death
A river and harbor bill was killed In
the Senate by Senator Tom Carter, OF
Montana. few years ago. He got the
floor while the bin was under considera-
ton. and within a few hours of the ex-
piration OF the term and the death of
that Congress on the 4th OF March. He
kept the floor until the hour OF adjourn
rnent under the law. and the trick was
done.
This is about the only incident Of the
carer of Senator Carter that Is remem-
bered, save that he was the Republican
national chairman In 1902. when his party
was 30 defeated, but he Is very proud
OF having talked that bill to death.
Senator Hopkins has not such strong
physique as Senator Carter. but his
method OF speaking is fully as capable
of killing the measure. Whether the
threat of the friends Of the Mississippan
be fulfilled, the members who have items
In the bill are becoming alarmed.
Virginians Are Working.
1t is impossible to learn the size OF
appropriation which the rivers and har-
bors will carry for the improvement Of
the James River. Representative Lamb
is trying to get $780, 900. The bill will
provide for the expenditure of s1131.ooo
for the deepening Of the channel to the
Norfolk Navy Yard from Hampton Roads,
less $4,000 to be expended In giving a
twenty-nve-foo channel in Elizabeth
River, the channel to be 500 feet wide.

May Restrict Leaders Power.
Although efforts which have been
made to displace Representative John
Sharp Williams as the leader of the
Democratic minority of the House of
Representatives and install Champ
Clark in his place may come to naught.
these efforts bid fair to produce some
radical changes in so far as the. pow
ers and duties of the Democratic leader

his Democratic colleagues to-day by
announcing that when the Democrats

supporters of Charles Scott. the leading
candidate for governor. The meeting
was not intended 40 a rally, but wal
simply a business meeting to formulate

ces of the Mississippi Home Insurance
Company were filled by a crowd ol
citizens who showed their earnestness
in the cause in an unmist akable manner.
Col. J. J Hayes, who was chairman
Of the citizens committee during the ep-
idemic, was chosen chairman Of the
meeting and Alex FitxHugh was elected
secretary. The work OF the organisa.
ton was further perfec ted. The reports
received could not have been more ia

According to Government Ento-
mologist Hunter, this is going to
be a great boil weevil year. The
following special given out by him
In New Orleans on returning from
a tour through Texas. tell the
story.
The mild winter and the wet
spring have been exceaticnally
favorable to the boil weevil. and
they have increased amazingly.
From my observations aud from
the observations of my assistants l
calculate teat there are thirty times
more weevils at the present time
than there were at thss time last
year. The propagation of the
weevil was materially assisted by
the great quantity of volunteer"
cotton in Texas this spring, the
winter being so mild that much
cotton, even as far us as north
Texas, was not killed. The weevil
now extends from San Antonio to
the river in Louisiana and for a
distance of seventy miles up into
the Indian Territory.
With the weevils multiplied
thirty fold, the world will OF course,
have to figure on getting cotton
from elsewhere than Texas; and
the contiguous territory thereto.
Though we are constrained to say
that past boil weevil proguostica-
tions and prophecies have taught
us the value of the discount, in
truth sc searching. Thus restrained
we would say to those who may
be disposed to eliminate Texas-al-

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Met at Cleveland Last
Monday.

Pursuant to call the democratic
executive committee of Bolivar
county met at the court house in
this city last Monday evening for
the purpose of making the necess-
ary arrangements for holding the
ensuing county primaries. The
meeting was called to order by.
Capt. E. H. Woods, of Roseda1e,
chairman, with ]. M. Kirk, Of Gum
nison, secrerary. Every district
of the county was represented by
the members either in person or by
proxy. y
One of the first things to be con-
sidered by the committee was the
fixing of the amoant to be assessed
sgainst each candidate to cover the
cost Of printing tickets. distribut-
ing ballot boxes, purchasing tally
sheets, etc. After some discuss
ion it was decided that the state
candidates would be excepted from
this assessment, and the sum of
So. 90 against all candidates for beat
offices.
1t was ordered that the candi-
dates for chancery clerk and sheriff
get together and name the officers
of election for the various polling
places and in the event they could
not agree upon all, that each re-
port his choice to the chairman of
the committee who would under
take to select from them names
suggested by some fair satisfactory
means. The committee will meet
iu Rosedale OIL the 18th to ratify
the selection of officers of election
selected by the candidates, in ac-
cordance with the stututes.
The dates as fixed by the state
executive committee were concur
red in by the county committee,
and July 10th was fixed upon as
the final date when a name could
be added to that ticket. It was
also ordered that the primaries
should only be participated in by
white democrats.
The designations of Committee
men J. c. Lauderdale and A. F. Co.

whom are candidates, were receiv-
ed and accepted, and also that of
