May Reinstate Negro Soldiers.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Under a
special rule the house to-day con-
sidered the Senate bill granting to
the discharged negro soldiers of the
Twenty-fifth infantry, said to have
been involved in the shooting up" OF
Brownsville, Tex, the right to prove
their innocence and thus make them
eligible for restoration to the army.
One hour and half was allotted
for debate and in that time many
speeches were made. Among those
who spoke in. opposition was Mr..
Slayden (Texas), who declared that
congress was seeking by this bill to
set aside the most righteous act OF
the Roosevelt administration.
The speeches succeeded in throw
ing the house into disorder. The con-
fusion was especially marked when
Mr.. Cochran New York; spoke in
support of the bill and made an
earnest plea for exact Justice to all.
How about the japanese? shout
ed Mr.. Gaines (Tenn.)
"The gentleman's interruption,
replied Mr.. Cochran amid a roar OF
laughter, lis always picturesque, but
not always sensible
But they will all be taken back
in the army Mark my prediction,
remarked Mr.. Burleson (Texas) with
some heat.
MIR. Cochran sharply retorted that
"the gentleman may be as good a
prophet as Samuel of old. but this is
not a place where prophecies can be
made the basis of legislation
At the end of spirited speech by
Mr.. Clark (Mo.) in opposition to the
bill he was asked by Mr.. Bede
(Minn.) if he ever before heard of a
conspiracy in which 167 men were
claimed to have been involved.
MIR. Clark provoked shouts OF
laughter when he replied that he
had. Members all around began to
prompt him and he instanced the
Molly Maguires, Ku-Klux. Night
Riders. Bald-Knobbers, White Caps
"and the conspiracy that ran the
niggers out of Springfield, ILL.,"
Mr.. Bede sat down apparently non
plussed.
Others who opposed the bill were
Messrs. Williams (Miss.), Henry,
Slayden and Garner (Texas), Bart
lett (GaD
The bill was passed under suspen-
sion of the rules.

Tillman Would Bar Message from
Mails.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Senator
Tillman to-day astonished the Senate
by the introduction of a resolution
instructing the committee on postof-
fees and postroads to inquire wheth-
er messages and reports recently
sent to congress by the president
should be excluded from the mails as
obscene literature unfit for circula-
ton. The resolution was, on motion
of Mr.. Tillman, referred to the COM
mittee on postoftices and postroads,
it's reading in the Senate and refer
ence causing no discussion.
The resolution includes not only
the presidents message, hut the re-
port of the commission and the com
mittee on postoffices is directed to
consider whether the use OF the
mails should not be prohibited to the
entire matter.
The resolution refers to the presi-
dents home commission. dealing
with homes in Washington, to the
message on the commission report
and to the report itself. which treats
of conditions in the alley homes of
the city in plain language.

dealers throughout the country the

The Common School Extension.

Representative c. w. Garris's bill,
CARRYING an appropriation of $4,000
to aid the poorer of the rural schools,
and to encourage those poor school
districts to help themselves, has BE-
come an act.
This is start in the right direc-
ton, and we believe much good will
come of it. The fund is to be avail
able only for those schools whose
regular funds enable them to keep
open less than one hundred days.
The maximum amount that any
school may secure is $100, and aid is
given only when the school district
raises by special effort an amount
equal to that taken from the State
fund
Four hundred school districts, by
raising $50 extra each, can secure
$50 each from this fund, and will
thus lengthen the school term of each
by from two to three months.
The appropriation gives direct
help, but i: does much more by en-
couraging the people in the poorer
districts to make sacrifices for their
1IOCl W SCS S2AAo osNSS SAN'
Those sacrifices will give them great
er interest in education.
If the pan is found to work well,
it is not improbable that this system
will be extended from year to year
until the weaker schools everywhere
shall feel it's benefits and encourage
ment. 1t will help not only existing
schools. but will encourage the Or
ganization of new school districts,
where it is now felt to be impractica-
bic to sustain a school for even one
hundred days.
We hope the benefits will be so i'm
mediate and so clear that in the
course of very few years not less
than $15O,000 will be given annual
ly for the common school extension
MIR. Garris is to be congratulated up
on being the author of a measure
that is so full of possibflities.-The

Child Crushed to Death.

Bennettsville. Feb. 26.-Frank
Haney, the 2-year-old child of Mr.
and Mrs. B. F. Haney, of Blenheim
this county, met with horrible
death yesterday afternoon.
The little child was knocked down
and run over by a loaded two-horse
wagon and it's skull terribly crushed.
MIR. Haney and family live. very
near the road and the child had left
the fireside only few minutes before
it met it's death.
The driver of the wagon was Jim
Williams, a young negro about 19
years old. He bears good reputa-
ton and is a trusted teamster.
The coroner's inquest attached no
blame to Williams, but it is probable
that there will be prosecution on a
charge of criminal carelessness.

St. George Oil Mill Destroyed.

st. George, Feb. 2S.-The entire
oil mill and ginnery plant of the St.
George Cotton Oil Mill Company
were destroyed by fire at an early
hour this morning.
The total loss to the stockholders
amounts to about s45,000, with only
$4,000 insurance. A carload of
hulls and a carload of seed on the
railroad track were consumed, to-
gether with the cars which contain
ed those articles. The origin of the
fire is unknown, but it is supposed
of incendiary origin, since there has
been no fire on the premises since
Friday at noon, when the mill closed
temporarily.
The stock is mostly held by local
parties.

Plan to Help the Negroes.

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. PA plan fol
the material uplift of the negroes OF
Georgia, which comes entirely from
negro initiative, was announced to-
day. 1t contemplates buying of TO-
900 acres of farm land, dividing II
into 400 farms of so acres each and
allowing tenants to pay for this land
in cotton. Each tenant to buy his
land is to pay 1000 pounds of good
middling cotton per year for seven

about the average rental rate now
paid by good negro farm tenants.

. GAINES AND CANNON CLASH.
Men,i,cr and Speaker Exchange Cut
ting Words Over Courtesy.

Washington, Feb. PA sharp
clash between Representative Gaines,
of Tennessee, and Speaker Cannon
occurred in the house of representa-
tives to-day, in the course of which
each claimed he had been insulted by
the other So persistent was Mr..
Gaines in addressing the chair, when
declared out of order, that the speak
re directed the sergeant-at-arms Ito
compel him to be in order" Prompt
ly obeying the direction of the speak
er the sergeant-at-arms, for the first
time in several years, took the mace
from its stand and proceeded toward
Mr.. Gaines, but the speaker called
him back upon hearing the Tennessee
member say he would be in order.
The trouble arose during the read
ing of the general deficiency appro-
priation bill. Mr.. Gaines insisted on
interrupting with a question, and
was held to be out of order.
Il did not know l was not in or
der" Mr.. Gaines remarked.
The speaker, with some warmth,
declared that Mr.. Gaines had been a
member of the house long enough to
know that he was not in order.
1T takes student like the speak
er,'' retorted Mr.. Gaines, Ito know
what the rules are, and he has to
study them every minute with some
body to prompt him."
"The gentleman from Tennessee,
the speaker hotly replied, lis abso-
lutely discourteous and misstates the
facts"
BY this time both men were thor
oughly wrought up.
"The gentleman from Tennessee" y"
returned Mr.. Gaines, lis no more
discourteous than the speaker is dis
courteous to him and the gentleman
from Tennessee has not misstated the
facts
''The chair desires at all times to
be as impartial as he can, but the
practice has grown up occasionally
for a member, on the supposltlon
that the speakers tongue is tied, to
insult him, and the speaker will not
submit to it,
"The tongue of the gentleman
from Tennessee is tied and he is in
suited by the speaker. The speaker
has done it for IL years, replied
Mr.. Gaines.
The speaker commanded Mr..
Gaines to be in order.
''The speaker will be in order too,
was Mr.. Gaines fling.
Unable longer to stand Mr.. Gaines
taunts, the speaker ordered the ser
geant-at-arms Ito see that he re-
mains in order"
It was then that the mace was
taken down.

great success. ALI the woodworkers

friends were in attendance, and all
had a most enjoyable time, the
dancing being in progress until the
e sma' hours of Christmas morn
ing.
Mrs. Sam V. Bell entertained a
small circle of friends at her home on
Ely street, Thursday afternoon. The
house and table were beautifully dec
Grated with Christmas bells and
foliage and a dainty lunch and punch
served. The game of 800"
was played. The first prize, a Havf-
land China cup and saucer, was won
by Mrs. Ray d. Harris, while Mrs.
F. D.. Woodmanse captured the on
ISOLATION prize, a large box of choco-
lates and glazed fruit. Those pres
emit were Mesdames. R. P. Moore,

The members of Ely Rebekah
Lodge No. 81 and their friends had
a grand old time last night at the
lodge and their promise that every
person attending would be shown an
enjoyable time, they made good to
attendants to the fullest extent,
and the dance proved one of the mos,
delightful affairs that has been given
thus far this winter. The hall was
beautifully decorated for the event
with Christmas bells, garlands and
streamers and e~vergreens and light
refreshments were served during the
evening.
