viii prove Of decided interest to every
agrcNlturst, horticuturist and live
stock producer in the State. In short
ne has &rrdngod with the secretary of
agriculture " the National Govern
men. to send 10 the fair lecturers on
varlouS subjects pertaining to the
above mentioned industries, lecture
being aganged for every day of the
fair period For instance. one lecturer
will devote his time to one feature Of
agriculture and another to another,
The question Of producing forage
crops, Of treating the diseases Of trees
and animals and in fact, everything of
interest to the farmer will be handled
by men Of wide experience and ability.
In addition other speakers on these
subjects than those designated by the
secretary Of agriculture will appear.
Among these will be Professor Soule,
of the agricultural department of the
University Of Georgia, and Professor
Digger, who holds similarly respon-
sible position with the University of
Alabama. This will without doubt be
the grandest and most instructive edu-
catonal feature ever arranged for any
State fair, and will in itself make the
fair well worth holding. Every farmer
and cattle breeder in Florida should
hear the lectures.
The effort to prevent the state treas
urer paying to the fair management
the sum Of $1,000 appropriated by the
last legislature, by securing an injunc-
ton before Judge Palmer, resulted in
victory for the fair management.
The injunction was brought by Repre-
sentatives Reese and Rowe, OF Escam-
bia and Madison counties. respectively

"ALL THIS PRATTLE SALE" BAILEY
SAYS"
Texas Senato' Urges investigating Com
mi tee TO Interpose and "Stop
These Insults"

Austin, Texas, Feb. 12.-Declaring
that "all this prattle is lie, and urg-
ing that the committee interpose and
stop these insults offered" United
States Senator Joseph w. Bailey
brought to climax this afternoon one
OF the most exciting days of the session
Of the legislative committee appointed
to investigate certain charges filed
against him by Representative Cooke.
This was in reply to the request of Rep
resentative Cooke that additional wit
nesses be summoned by whom it is hop
ed to prove that Bailey had borrowed
the sum of $1,000 of ]. D. Suggs, of
Iron county.
When it was suggested that the COM
mittee leave at once for st. Louis, where
additional testimony will be taken,
Bailey protested that he should not be
compelled to go over the country as
principal in an investigation of this ma
ture. 1t also developed today that the
committee is adverse to allowing the
testimony adduced to appear in the re-
cord before being censored by a major
ity of the committee assisted by Sena-
tor Bailey.

woman SIaps Pastors Face.

New Martinsville, w. Va, Feb. H.
Turmoil reigned in the Christian church
at West, when its pastor, Rev. S. M.
West. declared from the pulpit that the
nnbaptized would all go to hell. The
services were broken up and Mrs. Alb
hey Postlethwaite, whose deceased
brother had not been baptized, confront
ed the pastor as he stepped from the
church and slapped him a number Of
times in the face. Other members also
attacked the minister.
Rev. West appeared before the grand
jury and secured the indictment Of for
ty-eight members of his congregation,
Judge M. H. Willis fined Mrs. Postleth-
waite, Celia Calvert, Pearl Calvert,
Mart Baker and Albert Beeke $25. and
costs and one hour in the county Jail for
the assault. The Calvert girls stated
that their offense consisted in laughing
when the minister told funny stories.
Rev. Vests style is somewhat after
the order of Sam Jones. He was at one
time justice of the peace of Green dis
trict.

THE I'LL GIVES PRESIDENT CREDIT
Says That New IRE ,ty Should Be Made
Regarding Coolies.

Toxic, February 10.-"The Jill" in
leading editorial anent the San Fran
cisco incident, expresses disbelief in the
possibility of the adoption of a new
treaty mutually restricting labor immi-
grafton as solution of the public school
controversy.
The Jill declares that it is aware that
a large number of Japanese are going
to San Francisco from Hawaii, and that
this immigration is causing jealously on
the part of white labor, but it contends
that this is due to the imperfect pro-
vision of the existing law, which might
be remedied by an agreement on the
part of both governments, but which
should constitute an entirely separate
subject of discussion as not concerning
the present San Francisco dispute, in
which latter Japan stands on her treaty
rights.
The Jiji, judging by statements at
tributed to both governments, draws
the conclusion that if a satisfactory ad-
justment of the difficulty is reached the
credit will be solely due to the admirable
efforts put forth by President Roose-
velt.

on the upper deck a moment to see that
his orders had been executed. Then he
ordered that his boat, the largest on
board, be cleared away. Every hand
IN the boat was too cold to handle a
knife to cut the ropes, which however,
slipped through the tackles and sent the
boat adrift just as the vessel became
submerged. The pitiable condition of
the passengers and crew were increased
a hundred fold the moment they had
launched their boats. Every wave sent
its dash of spray over the boats and
their contents. Soon a thin coating of
ice enveloped every one. One man in
captains boat, although dressed warm
er than many others was driven insane
by his intense suffering. He pulled a
big clasp knife from his pocket and
gashed his throat. Those who sat near
him were either too dazed to interfere
or looked upon the act of self-destruc-
ton as justified. The unknown mans
body fell to the bottom of the boat.

PHYSICIAN FASTS "a DAYS
Says Food Drunkenness is One of Worlds
Worst Evils.

Toledo, Feb. 9.-Voluntary fasting of
thirty-four days duration to date, dur
ing which time not particle of food,
solid or liquid, has passed his lips, is the
remarkable record of DIR. j. B. Rulli-
son, of 1T Summit street. During this
time he has lived on air and water which
he claims are the greatest life giving
properties in nature. Water, as food.
has been taken in teaspoonful quantities
every three or FIVE days. DR.. Rullison
began his fast the eve of January 5th.
Prior to that date he subsisted on fruit
juices alone.
DR.. Rullison explained that once each
year he takes one long fast, with sever
al short ones, the latter lasting for sew
eral days. He adds that a person at
the age Of 10 years has taken food
enough to sustain the body for one hun
dred years, and declared that the great
est drunkenness in the world is food
drunkenness.
The normal human stomach, he said,
holds less than pint. Yet people stuff
themselves and dilate the stomach six
or seven times it's size. The result is
they are food drunk and stupid, which
causes sleep.

Wreck Near Pulaski.

Pulaski, Va, Feb. 11-There was A
serious wreck on the Norfolk and West
ern Railway yesterday morning about Z
o'cloc', at point few miles west of
here. 1t was in the nature of a head-on
collision between two freight trains. to
one Of which there were attached two
locomotives.
A tramp was instantly killed. and an
engineer, fireman and negro brake
man hurt, but none of them seriously.
The wreck was caused by Engineman
Mitchell, of the east-bound freight
forgetting his orders. He told a gentle
man to whom he talked that it was en-
tirely his fault; that he had been on
duty for a very long period and was tir-
ed and worn out and simply forgot all
about his orders.
The enginemen and fremen of the
west-bound ''double-header" remained
at their posts, and Engineman Mitchell
and his fireman were hurt, but not dan
gerously.
The wreck delayed the passage of
trains for some eight hours. The west-
bound passenger trains, due here in the
morning and at noon, laid over here.
out the railroad officials transferred
around the wreck all persons who de-
sired TO proceed.
The wounded men received medical
and surgical attention here, and were
dispatched to their homes in a special
car.

GeOrgia-SpOOner Declares That
He Is in Favor of Revision
of the Tariff.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Senate to-
day passed the army appropriation bill
carrying Ss1, 800, 600. The amendment
which permitted the government to ac-
cept reduced rates on army supplies,
and permitted officers and enlisted men
to accept reduced transportation, was
defeated on a point of order interposed
by Senator McCumber after the day had
been spent in discussion. An edmend-
ment offered by Senator Dick increas-
ing by 20 per cent. the pay of officers
and enlisted men, was defeated by a
point of order made by Senator Hale.
Amendments were accepted to build
monuments to revolutionary officers as
follows: To General John Stark, an
equestrian statue at Manchester, N.
H., $40, 1000; a statue to General Ma
thaniel Green, at Guilford c. H., N. c.,
SIS, 900; a statue to General James
Schrivner, at Midway, Georgia, 5000.
In the debate on the amendment al
lowing reduced rates, Senator Spooner
took the position that the government
was not bound by the rate bill, and that
If it was so contended, the present
amendment ought to be accepted to
clear away any doubt on that point.
Senator Aldrich opposed the amend
ment. Incidentally he brought in the
question of tariff on importations for
the government, which led Senator
Spooner to remark:
''While am as good a protectionist
as any one have thought for some
years that the tariff should be revis-
3D."
Senator Beveridge took issue with
Mr., Spooner in a statement that there
was no UNITED States commerce. "
Mr.. Beveridge argued that there was a
commerce of the people" which was
not state commerce, and which was in
all essentials national in character,
