The Wee Nee Literary Soc iety.

Inc Nee ME- Llltfdry OUIi
The Weenee Literary society
held its second regular meeting
of the session of 190e-09 on Fri
day afternoon, October 2, 1908,
$3.50 o'clock
From the great interest shown
by the members present this
bids fair to be the best, most
successful and most pros
porous year of our society. We
are sure that it is to this end
that each member is striving
and with the earnest work OF
the thirty-eight stldious boys
and girls who constitute the
active members of our society,
together with the cooperation
and interest of our honorary
members, the faculty and
trustees of Kingstree high
school, there is no reason why
this year can't be made a record
breaker in the history of the
Weenee Literary society.
The literary programme OF
this meeting proved unusually
interesting, especially the de-
bate: "Resolved, That the age
makes the man. which showed
preparation and interest on the
part OF the debaters. Both
sides brought up good, strong
arguments; the decision however
was rendered in favor of the
negative.
In a very short time now the
society expects to furnish and
equip cne of the rooms in our
beautiful school building for
: its hall. We shall try to show
our appreciation to the trustees
for giving US this room in deeds
and not words.
We also wish to thank the
people of Kingstree for the in.
terest they have manifested
in our society in the past and
to beg them to continue and, if
possible, increase it in the future.
The officers for the first term
of this school session are: Miss
Ada Brockington, president;
Miss Eunice Kennedy, vice.
president; Miss Elma Kinds,
secretary; Miss Roberta ecker,
critic; Mr. Alexander Rodgers,
censor; Mr. Tommie Gilland,
treasurer. We feel sure that
these are abe and competent
officers and will do all in their
power for the betterment Of our
society. So, with these bright
prospects before US, we should
.-y to carry out and make the
! llsciety worthy Of appropriate
sd significant motto, taOblesse
!ge."

That Roy, Alleged Murderer, will
Not De Sent Back.

of the refusal of the French govern
ment to grant the eXtradition of Paul
E. Roy, the husband of Glacia Gala,
who is accused of the murder of his
brother-in-law, George A. Carkins, it
is improbable that the authorities of
Rockingham county will make any
further move at the present time.
County Solicitor Charles H. Batch
elder the prosecuting attorney Of
Rockingham county, in whose jurisdic-
ton the murder was committed, said
today that he did not think the case
would be prosecuted in the French
courts and inasmuch as there is no
prospect of Roy being tried in New
Hampshire he did not see how any,
thing more in the way of prosecution
could be done under the circumstances.
Carkins is alleged to have been shot
by Roy just previous to New eYars,
during a quarrel. Glacia Gala, who
was a witness to the tragedy, did not
make any charge of murder against

HOUSE AND SENATE.

Washington, April 9-Three times to-
day in the House the Democrats
caught the Republicans mapping" and
forced them to produce quorum. On
one other occasion vote by tellers
disclosed the absence of a quorum, but
Speaker Cannon summarily applied
the Reed rule and declared a quorum
present. In doing so he had brief
but lively clash with Mr.. Williams.
Notwithstanding repeated roll calls
progress was made in the transaction
of public business. Both the army and
the Notifications appropriation bills
were sent to conference; the Senate
bill to increase the efficiency of the
revenue cutter service was passed
with Democratic help, and the bill to
promote the safe transportation in in
terstate commerce of explosives was
considered 1t will be finally disposed

it to be sent back to conference.

morrow.

Washington, April "a motion of

and roll calls. Mr.. Williams. the mi
nority leader, made his usual demand
for the yeas and nays which he face
tously remarked was made with the
view to saving time. Leader Payne
of the majority challenged that asser-
ton and at the same time made the
point of no quorum.
Against that motion Mr. Williams
protested saying the point was dila-
tory. Speaker Cannon however, ruled
that THE point of no quorum will get
more speedy action"
ooh" drawled Mr. Williams, II guess
that's So
The roll was called and the bill was
returned to conference. $50 to 3, the
Democrats all voting with the Repub-
