Washington special Of Monday to
the Charlotte Observer: Senator
Tillman. in replying to some things
said about him by Senator Spooner,
took occasion to take a fall out Of
Senators Carmack, Patterson. Daniels
and other minority senators who had
taken issue with him. The scene was
a rather striking one when Mr.. Car
mack, following Mr.. Spooner, arose TO
reply to the structures of the South
Carolinian. Packed galleries and the
crowded senate chamber listened with
deathlike stiffness, when Carmack de-
ciared that the senator from South
Carolina didn't have to take his belly
from the dust In order to rise to the
level of a certain retort. There were
some who suspected there might be
another Tillman- McLaurin affair.
While Mr.. Carmack was still on his
feet trying to say more, Mr.. Teller,
who had obviously arisen for another
purpose, moved that the doors be clos
ed and the galleries cleared for an
executive session. There came from
the Republicans quick second to this
motion and II was then that the spell
was broken. Later when the gallery
doors were thrown open, Mr.. Tillman
apologized to everybody and this
helped some but a bad taste was left
in the mouth and Democrats were not
pleased with the days doings. al
though the resolution as finally agreed
upon was rather -distasteful to certain
Republicans.
