The new provisions had only been read
when Senator Daniel. senior minority
member Of the finance committee, arose
and inquired Of the senator from Utah
whether he had said these amendments
had been reported by the committee on
finance.
Receiving an affirmative reply, he
promptly denied the correctness Of the
statement.
1T is another bogus report from the

say that the committee on finance had
not acted on these amendments.

Beneficial Societies.

An amendment proposed by Senator
Burkett exempting beneficial societies
from the operation of the taxes of the
tariff bill precipitated a debate on the
exact form that such a provision should
take as soon as the bill was taken up in
the senate today.
Senator Bacon thought the sugges-
ton of the Nebraska senator was not
broad enough, and offered a more far
reaching amendment relating to relig-
ious, charitable, educational and fra
ternaI associations. mutual insurance
companies and corporations whose gross
sales were less than $250,000 annually.
Trinity church of New York was
brought prominently into the debate by
Senator Clark of Wyoming. who said
that organization was not of a charac-
ter 10 receive the exemption. 1t was, he
said, engaged in real estate operations
to an extent that would not warrant its
exclusion from the provisions Of the
bill
Defending the Trinity corporation,
Senators Depew and Root declared the
organization used its funds only for re-
HgiOus charities and educational pur-
poses. and Mr.. Bacon added that he
did not think the mere fact of magni-
tude should be taken into consideration
in the matter of exemption.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1909-07-07
Amendment Adopted.

After considerable debate, an amend
ment was adopted exempting from the
tax labor organizations, fraternal bene-
ficiary societies and organizations ex-
clusively for religious, charitable and
educational purposes.
Amendments offered by Mr.. Lodge
were agreed to. These provisions re-
enact the existing laws. One of them
provides for the levying Of a discrim-
mating duty of 10 per cent ad valorem
on goods imported in vessels not of the
United States: another covered goods
imported from contiguous countries
such as Canada and the West Indies
and not manufactured in such cOun-
tries, and still another extended from
two to six months in any one year, the
period which domestic built foreign YES
sells may engage in the coastwise trade.
The United States is relieved from all
reciprocal obligations toward foreign
nations in the matter Of tonnage dues
by an amendment offered by Mr.. Frye
and agreed to,
Senator Frye's amendment has the
effect of repeating the present law au-
thorizing the president to suspend our
tonnage tax against vessels belonging
to a country which does not impose a
duty on American vessels equivalent to
our tonnage tax law. Mr.. Frye stated
that 81. GOO. 900 IN revenue is now derived
from the tonnage tax, about $3.50 900 of
which would be lost if other countries
should generally take advantage of our
exemption.
On Mr.. Aldrich's suggestion the SEN
ate, at $3.50 o'clock, adjourned until to-
morrow.

Death Of Good Citizen.

Mr. w A. Barrow died at the
home Of his daughter, Mrs. Keister on
Virginia street, on last Tuesday morn
ing, and was buried in our cemetery
on Wednesday, Rev. S. c. Hatcher

E. l. Morris, r. II. Paulett, Louis

S. II. Bliss, D. T. Elan, J. NJ. Crute,
X. d. Miller, II. H. Hunt.
Mr.. Barrow was born in the county
Of Henry in 1880, lived for a number of
years in Pulaski, some years in the city
Of Norfolk, from which place he came
to Prince Edward where he was active
ly engaged in the work of farming.
He was a loyal farmer, in love with
the noblest secular business known TO
the children Of men, studied itsneeds,
and often expressed himself clear
ly and intelligently to brother farmers
when they met to commune together
on the best interests Of the brother
hood.
For four years he wore the gray"
and followed the fortunes Of the Con-
federacy to the end, surrendering un-
der Gen. Johnston at Greensboro.
But he was not only good soldier of
his county, but Of the cross as well.
From early boyhood he was a consis-
tent member of the Methodist church,
the church of his choice and Of his
love, and was for 20 years the earnest
and consecrated superintendent Of the
Sunday School Of the church at Dub
lin, in the county Of Pulaski
Some five years ago his health be-
gan to fail, and two weeks ago he suf-
fered a stroke of paralysis, involving
one side of the body. All that ten
der love and skill could do was done
to minister to his last days, and he
went peacefully to his grave
He fought the good fight, and now
rests from his labOrs

HAMPDEN- SIDNEY COMMENCE
MEHT.
AN OCCASION OF UNUSUAL INTEREST.
The Homes Crowded, "The Hill" The
Place Beautiful"

The Herald regrets that it canno
afford a larger reportorial staff so tina
it might more faithfully and full,
discharge its duty to its environment
and especially on Commencement oc
casions.
That of Hampden- Sidney and the
State Normal coming in conflict this
time has been making US feel how
charming the one would be if the 9TH
er was not quite so near.
From those who were fortunate
enough to hear Dr. Cecil on last Sun
day morning, we hear but one re-
port and that it was a noble, Gospel
sermon eminently appropriate to the
occasion, uplifting and helpful. The
congregation was a large one, and re-
mined some of those present of the
Commencements Of bygone.
Rev Alfred Graham, D. D., ad-
dressed the Y. NJ. c. 4. The society
celebrations brought to the footlights
young orators who gave promise Of
yet moving listening senates.
The alumni met on Tuesday at $3.50
p. m, renewed their allegiance and
loyalty, and planned better things for
the future.
The address of the Hon. r. Z. Byrd
Of Winchester, his theme being Pub
lie Opinion " was eminently practi-
cal and yet redolent of high order of
scholarship and genuine eloquence.
Let us nope that the young men,
for whom he spoke particularly, will
not forget his earnest words of warn
ing against the spirit of grasp which
is abroad in the world in the present
day, and indulgel with him the cheer
ful hope that the republic Of the
Western world was not born 10 die.

The Bench Still Talks.

A quartet of old crOnies sat on the
bench in front of the Westover or
Wednesday morning when Major Ven
able drove in front of them and sa-
luted friend w. II. Richardson as
General. " Don't call me General.
am private in the ranks" said the
modest young man, and then told this
joke, in the telling of which he made
the Major the victim.
Some years ago, he said there
was a gathering of Confederates in
the city Of New Orleans, and at the
leading hotel the register bristled with
a formidable list of captains, colonels,
majors and generals, when a stately,
commanding figure entered and wrote
down in bold, striking characters
plain John B. Gordon. Whereupon
the clerk grasped him warmly by the
hand, l am glad to see YOU as you
are the only private who has regis
tered during the past three days, and
please consider yourself as the guest
Of the house And then the laugh
was had at the expense Of the cap
tains, majors colonels and generals. "
And our Major enjoyed the joke, as
he won his title amid the smoke Of
battle. And from the bench came
this on the preacher:
On certain marriage occasion at
the hospitable home Of the late Mr..
T. T. Totty, the host left his guests
for a while, and on his return carried
large waiter crowded with sus-
picious looking concoctions, the most
of them thickly set with sprigs Of
fragrant mint. But there was a lone
and lonesome looking mixture as COM
panion, and there was a lone preach
er present, and going to him first
Mr.. Totty pointing to the glass redo
lent of something rather than mint,
said, / made this sangaree for you
and hope it will suit you. The .
good man and great preacher took it,
tasted it, and said, 1t is good but I
believe will take this one too, "
whereupon he grasped the glass
with the iulep and had one on the
rest Of the boys
The bench says these things are so,
for the bench says so.

plants to the acre, and the average
per acre is from 1850 to 1850 pounds.
