The United States Senate Saturday paid
tribute to the memory Of Senator Red6eld
Proctor Of Vermont. Eight senators de-
liveFed eulcgies and appropriate resold-
tions were adopted.
New England, the South, the Middle
West. the Far West and the Pacific coast,
through their senators. Joined in landing
the life, character and achievements or
Mr.. Proctor.
Senator Dillingham; opened the exer-
cises with a warm tribute to his former
associate and friend OF many years stand
ing. Senator Page, in closing the ses-
sion. delivered his maiden speech in the
Senate and i was pronounced one Of the
best OF the eulogies.
Eulogies we're also delivered by Sena-
tors Daniel Of Virginia, Perkins OF Cali
fornia, Clay OF Georgia, Smoot of Utah,
Crane Of Massachusetts, and Hemenway OF
Indiana.
One Of the most interesting features Of
the occasion was an anecdote told by Sen
ator Daniel He said that while be and
Mr.. Proctor were visiting a Southern bat
tleHeld some years ago, Mr.. Proctor said
that II he died first, as he expected to, he
would like Mr.. Daniel to attend his fun
eral.
eWhen Mr. Proctor died. said the
Virginia Sc nator, ~ was sick in bed with
the grip, but arose and had a mournful
satisfaction in accompanying the remains
TO Vermont and icing present when my
lost friend was inferred"
Senator Cranes ehlogy Of Senator Proc
tor was his second speech in the Senate.
the first being bis eulogy Of his predeces-
sor, Senator Hoar.
After reviewing Senator Proctor's de-
scent, early life and military services,
Senator Dillingham; said:-
GAS a member Of the Senate Mr.. Proc
tor left hif impress. The possibility Of
a war with Spain stirred him deeply and
reused hi1n to characteristics action. The
debates preceding the declaration OF war
against Spain showed such lack Of au-
lucrative information Of existing condi-
lions Ia Cuba and as q consequences such
wide differences Of opinion among sena-
tors as to the policy which ought to be
adopted BY the government, that he was
filed with apprehension and with charac-
teristic forethouRbt and following q life
long pract ice to seek the fullest knowl-
edge Of underlying conditions upon
which to iase his Judgment and action he,
on his own responsibility, ct bis own ex-
pense, sought by personal visit to Cuba
to ascertain the real conditions there ex-
isting.
ssWhen, upon his return, he gave to
the Senate a cold, bare, plain statement
OF what h. had seen and what be had
learned, u1accompanied either By argu-
ment or recommendation, he did Il with
such gravity and such imprsssivenasn
that ths facts stated burned themselves
into the inind Of every senator present
and. beinI, heralded b. the press, reused
the nation to action.
Many Vermont people we're in the gal
Isry during she euiogies, but they did not
include, % TAR as known, any member Of
Senator proctor's family.

TARIFF ON PAPER.
Select Committee Renders Its Report
of InvestigatiOn-Redu in
Duty Suggested.

Washington, Feb. ia reduction
in the duty on newsprint paper from
50 ton to 50 ton, the placing Of
ground wood on the free list and the
establishment of a duty of LIP cent
per pound on mechanically ground
wood pulp, are the recommendations
of the select committee on pulp paper
investigation which made it's report
to the house today. The report states
that 1t presents the unanimous report
of the entire committee.
The committees report states that
it would seem production of news
print paper or the other very cheap
grades of paper is today dependent
upon the continuation of cheap ground
wood produced from spruce trees. and
that condition is likely to prevail in
the future. The amount or spruce
consumed in the United States in
1907, according to the report, was
about 100000 cords for ground
wood; about 100000 cords for sui
phite fibre, and about 3,45O,OOO cords
Tor lumber. The amount of standing
spruce is \variously estimated but it
roughly guessed to be about 10000
900 cords east of the Rockies.
The paragraph recommended for
insertion in the tariff bill, placing a
duty of LIP Of a cent per pound on
mechanically ground wood pulp, pro-
vides that this article shall be admit
ted free Of duty from any country,
dependency or other subdivision of a
government which does not forbid or
restrict the expectation of or does not
impose an export duty or charge up
on mechanically ground wood pulp
for use in the manufacture of print
paper. The duties recommended for
print paper are: On print paper
valued at not over 2 Ia cents er
pound, 110 of a cent q pound: and
on paper valued at over 2 IA cents a
pound and not over 1-2 cents a
pound, 2-10 a cent per pound.
The report was referred to the
committee on ways and means.

Everybody in Sumter and Lee
Counties is talking about as well as
reading the twice-a-week Watchman
and Southron. 1t has made a bigger
hit than anticipated. Now Is the time
to get on the band wagon with your
advertising, IL you want to reach the
people who trade in Sumter.
The cotton weighers for Sumter
have handled to date 1851 bales of
cotton and there are stored in the
warehouse more than 1000 yet to be
weighed. This means that the re-
cepits on the local market will be
greater this season than ever before.
Sumter is the leading interior cot
ton market in the State and handles
more wagon cotton than any other
town in South Carolina. The total re-
ceipts for the cotton year 10000,
counting railroad cotton as we'll as
wagon cotton, will exceed fifty thou
sand bales and may go to sixty thou
! sand.
1t Is now unlawful for chickens to
run at large in Sumter any time dur
ing the year, but the dogs are at lib
erty to take the streets for half the
year. This is an unjust discrimination

The Musical Event OF the Year, NIon-
day March list.

The concert to be given on the eve-
ning or March 1st. by Sumter Lodge
d. +. o. E., is already the talk of the
hour In musical circles. The reason
the musicians and all others who de-
iight In good music are so enthusias-

entertainment Is that because of the
fact that several of the most accom-
plished musicians in the South will
take part in the concert. oNthing

Special to The Daily Item.
New York, Feb. 23.-I am again

1 see another called the World. 7
read 1t and saw nothing in it about
sumter. 1t was the greatest mistake
the World ever made, not having
Sumter in it. l investigated the mat
ter and they said the streets are too
muddy. What shame on Sumter.
You see New York has put such i'm
mense buildings on it's lands that it
has pressed all the water out of it
and she is surrounded by water. So
they have built bridges over the water
and tunnels under it, SO the people
go under and over and the boats
through. Now suppose we dig a
ditch around Sumter and press the
mud out of it, and build bridges over
the ditch. If we don't the people of
Sumter will have to take the place the
boats do in New York. Now, I would
| hate to say dig tunnels, for I don't
know where we would come out at
| not this side of Wateree river any
how. But you bet we can build the
bridges. Mr.. w. F. Shaw and myself
have been talking about bridges for a
long time; in fact we came near con-
tracing to build one over the drain
in front of my house, but he charged
me too much. I thought the city
ought to pay half anyhow. Well, we
know Sumter is growing very fast and
is going to continue to grow, so it will
be impossible for her to put in ce-
ment sidewalks over the whole city
now. But let her take the fire limi,
first and cover that part with these
walks and 1t will look so nice they
will be like the city, they will grow
so fast that nothing can stop it.
Now, when we get these nice side
walks would advise those fancy dry
goods merchants to get some of those
wax figures such as they have here
and dress them up in ladies' clothes.
Why they have them here that look
so natural that I came near pulling
my hat to one yesterday and asking
her where she got that dress, that !
wanted to get one like it for my wife.
| / am sure Mr.. G.. A. Lennon and
Mr.. j. X. Crosswell would love to look
at them.
| / went out to q park yesterday and
they had buffaloes and abears out
there. Don't you suppose they mis-
took me for Teddy?
| Well must stop now and read The
Item, it has just come.

That might have been a serious ac-
cident occurred at the crossing of the
Atlantic Coast Line tracks at Hauser
street Monday morning. The New
York Bakery wagon was coming
across between a shifting freight by
one of the railroad men and just as
his wagon was on the track the train
closed in, resulting in a complete
