4 committee from the chamber Of
commerce consisting Of Jno. NJ. Kin
ard, George w. Summer and E. r.
Hipp, together with the mayor aid
members Of council and The represent
tatives in the Legislature from tais
county met yesterday in the Office of
the county supervisor together with
the board Of commissioners for thu
purpose Of discussing what disposi-
ton should be made Of the old court
house. The committee from the
chamber of commerce favored having
it turned over for the purpose OF
making library and arrange for wait
rooms for the ladies out Of the low
2r floor and the court room to be
used for conventions and public
gatherings of various kinds. The
opinion seemed to prevail that as it
was the property Of the county and
that the people Of the entire county
should have voice as to what dis
position should be made Of the bull l.
ing.
It is very probable that the matter
will be submitted 10 the democratic
voters in the primary election next
August.

PAST fERENCES
ARE ELIMINATED.

Washington, Jan. Sin the pres
eaeo Of the entire house, Representa-
tive Williams of Mississippi and Rep
rcsentative DcArmond of Missouri,
whose physical encounter on the floor
Of the house just before the Christ
mas adjournment attracted general
attention, today engaged III an en-
change of amenities which was gen
orally accepted as a public announce
menr Of their respective intentions not
to permit their personal differences
to interfere with the courteous dis
charge of their public duties. The in
cident occurred in connection with al
effort by Mr.. Dalzell Of the commit
tee on rules to get the house to agree
to Il rule giving right Of way to the
bill authorizing the coadifcatior and
amendment Of the penal laws of the
United States and limiting general
debate to four hours. Several Demo-
cratic members expressed the oppoin-
ion thai the rule was scheme to side
track other legislation. Mr.. DalZell,
however, refuted this.
Minority Leader Williams favored
the rule, saying that congress ought
to get rid Of the report. as it embo-
dies the result of the labor Of the
commission for ten years. He said
the matter was wholly non-partizan.
TO the surprise of everyone Mr..
Williams then yielded 10 Of his 20
minutes time to Mr. DeArmond of
Missouri, who politely bowed his ac-
acknowledgements.
Mr.. DeArmond opposed the rule be-
cause the bill which is very lolg
would be used as buffer for the ell
tire session against more important
legislation. Mr.. Williams was vigor-
ously supported by Mcssrs. Sherlcy of
New York, Watkins Of Louisiana
Houston of Tennessee and Macon Of
Arkansas, all members of the COM
mittce on revision Of the laws.
The rule was passed by an over
whelming majority, despite the eff
forts by Mr.. DcArmond and seven
adhcrcnts.

weeks, Mrs. Mile NJ. Brooks.

the morning of Jan. 9th, just as
the sun came up i'll all of its glory.
She had pneumonia three times
during that period, from which
she was recovering, but heart
trouble caused her death, Mrs,
Brooks, as her neighbors all
know, was a sweet Christian lady.
She was a devoted wife and
mother, kind and sympathetic
neighbor, and has gone, we all
hope. TO reap her reward for her
many deeds of kindness here,
She leaves beside a husband to
mourn her loss four children.
Mrs. Jno. w. Shackelford. Mrs.

grandchildren, four sisters and a
host Of friends. but they sorrow
not as those that have no hope,

We will meet our sister in the

services were conducted by the

found her quite indisposed, but
bright and full of life.
Several days after malignant
fever developed, to which she
speedily succumbed. All that
both medical aid and watchful
nursing could do did not keep her
here, for Goa calls his children
home, sooner or later.
Her characteristics were malice
for none; love for ali. She has
simply crossed an intervening
space between this land and the
one over there.
| 1t IS but crossing to find the
loved ones and friends waiting or
the shOre-more beautiful, more
precious than before; so there is
no sting to death. and the grave
has lost its victory. The funeral
services were conducted by the
Rev. Richard Ferguson at Holly
Grove Church. Interment in
Trinity Cemetery.
She leaves a husband, three
sons, two sisters, two brothers,
father and mother, besides hosts
of friends who mourn her loss.

hope or give us more peace oil

Beyond the mists that blind us here,
Into the new and larger life
OF that serener sphere.
When our hearts grow faint,
Amid temptations fierce and deep,
Or when the wildly raging waves

We feel upon onr fevered brow.
Their gentle touch, their breath OF

Their arms unfold ms, and our hearts
Grow comforted and calm.

For all the boundless universe,
IN life there are no dead.
