MENTS REGARDING GROIN
WELL AND OTHERS.
IS OPPOSED BY BURTON
Who Defended Those Accused Of
Graft in Connection with Pur-
chase of the Panama Canal
Property.

Washington, Feb 22.-A second
speech by Rainey Of Illinois. reitera-
ting his former statements concern
ing the Panama Canal, and a bitter
arraignment OF. Rainey by Burton. of
Ohio, furnished the principal incident
In the house today.
After the Illinois member had
spoken for an hour in further denun-
citation of William Nelson Cromwell.
Burton took the floor to make reply.
He vigorously defended Cromwell, C.
p. Taft, President.elect Taft and
others whom Rainey on former oc-
casion had made the objects of his
attack.
Rainey. he said, had furnished no
proofs of wrong doing in connection
with the purchase of the Panama
Canal franchise, but instead had con
iured up wrongs and buttressed them
with slander and falsehood, thereby
placing himself on a level with the
scurvy politician"
He challenged Rainey to get from
behind the projection afforded him
by the constitution of the United
States and the rules of the house and
make his charges in the open.
Lowering, of Massachusetts,, joined
in the discussion and insisted that
Rainey had proven nothing.
The incident was closed by q de-
claratlon by Cochran, of New York,
that persons, whose regulations We're
attacked in the heasas should have AN
opportunity of defending themselves
in the same place.
Following the sending OF the army
and Indian appropriation bills TO con
ference, consideration OF the snndry
civil appropriation bill was resumed
and 1t was pending when the house
adjourned.

WILL SPREAD OUT.
Fifteen Hundred New Spindles Ad-
ded to Equipment.

The Orangeburg Manufacturing
Company of this city is in highly
prosperous condition, which is moth
ing more than we expected, as it is
managed by Col. w. G.. Smith, as
president, who is an experienced mill
man as well as level headed busi-
ness man in general. The company
has recently added fifteen hundred
new spindles to its equipment in the
mill here, which makes in all fifteen
thousand spindles now in operation
in its plant in this city.
Before this increase Of spindles, 1t
was necessary to stop the loom very
frequently as the supply Of filing
was not sufficient to Keep them in
constant operation. This, of course,
prevented the running of the mill
to is full capacity, as to part OF
its machinery, and was source Of
loss to the company. 1he looms will
now turn out their rated output OF
62 yards Of cloth each per day.
AS stated above, this mill is in
a highly prosperous condition, which
is a result of its output always find
ing a ready market from its superior
quality. We congratulate Col Smith
ON the success he is meeting with in
the management of the factory and
wish him still greater success in the
future than he has ever achieved in
the past. Col. Smith knows the mill
business from top to bottom and that
spells success.

Jeffcoat and Tebe Creech, the last
named a deaf mute, were arrested
in this city about FIVE o'clock Sun
day afternoon by the police on a tel
ephone message from Bamberg charg-
ing them with stealing an automo-
bile from Mr.. J. X. Dickson of that
city. The men were in custody In
a little while after Chief Fischer re-
ceived the telephone message. A
search was made for the alleged
stolen automobile, and the machine
was found near the Edisto river,
where it broke down and had been
abandoned on Saturday night by the
men in custody. The machine was
brought up TO the city and its ap-
pearance shows that it had been drlV-
en- for al! it was worth.
All the men under arrest are mill
hands in Bamberg, except one, who
is connected with the garage in Bam-
berg from which the automobile was
taken. The men claim that they did
not intend to steal the automobile,
but had taken it to make a trip
to this city and was on their return
to Bamberg when the machine re-
fused to run for the want Of gaso-
line and had to be abandoned for the
time.

FACULTY CONCERT
By the o. G. I. at the Academy of
Music Thursday Evening.

On Thursday evening OF this week
the faculty of the Conservatory of
Music of the o. C. I. Will be heard
at the Academy Of Music In pro-
gram we'll calculated to please all
who enjoy music and elocuticn.
President Peterson has been pc
culiarly fortunate this season in the
choice of his conservatory faculty.
The director of music, Mr.. Loring,
is man known throughout musical
America. He gained considerable
notice several years ago when ex-
President Roosevelt appointed him to
visit the various tribes of Indians
on their reservations in the West,
for the purpose of recording and
preserving, for the government, their
native songs and folklore. Mr.. Lor-
ing is conceded to know the Indian
as do few other men living. He
has studied under the most famous
teachers of America. and the great
est pianest. Ignace Jan Paderwiski
has promised to teach Mr.. Loring
at Warsaw, Poland, as soon as
plans can be matured.
Miss Marie Seabrooks comes to the
o. C. 1. very highly recommended as
a teacher of voice and of violin. She
graduated from the New England
Conservatory of Music. She has
made a selection of songs for this
concert that will prove of interest.
The new teacher Of expression is
Miss Villa Middleton, of North Car
olina. Miss Middleton will give sew
eral readings in her clever style CT
Interpretation, ranging from the
more serious to dialect selection.
An unusually interesting program
has been arranged and the theatre
will doubtless be filled.

New York Futures.
A TRUE HEARTED YANKEE.
Who Paid Generous Tribute to Pres
ident Davis.

To the Editor OF The News and
Courier: May l ask the privilege Of
your columns to express, perhaps
more directly and effectively than l
might otherwise do, first to you and
through you to many newspapers and
individuals through the South, our
Northern appreciation Of your re-
sponse to a tribute to Jefferson Davis
which the New Haven Register pub.
lished on September IL, 1909. L
have reason to know that the article
was more than an expression of per-
sonal impulse or opinion. And as
it reflected with some accuracy the
spirit of justice which has entered
into the Northern heart to the dis
placement of rancor, SO does the
South's warm and noble response to
it evoke the sincerest gratitude Of
every true Northerner. Not for the
newspaper, which l represent nor for
myself, but for our readers, do l say
most heartily, We thank you, brothers
true.
In many ways we are wasteful
nation. Still we waste our resources
of land and forest and mineral. But
were We not, once on time, still
more wasteful of our brotherhood.
And Is it not better than any other
sign of the conservation of resources
and strength that brother is finding
brother again, that the dream OF
mo North, no South, but one Union.
which we have held these many
years, is becoming a realty.
1t was. perhaps, severe test to
fling in the face of that North, which
had hated Jefferson Davis as un.
reasonably as it had long. so hearty
a tribute of praise. But I am proud
for the North that it has stood that
test (though believe me, it was never
intended as such by meJ as we'll as
it has done.

CAUSE OF HOG CHOLERA.
Injudicious Feeding One Great Cause
of the Disease.

Coburn's Swine in America says
farmers associate the Thought of
new corn with "hog cholera" and
the belief is common in some locali-
ties that the use Of new corn will
cause the disease. This may in
directly be somewhat true, as the
sudden change to new corn is mol
unlikely to produce feverish con-
dition which would encourage the
thriving of any latent disease germs.
1t is undeniable that swine appear
to be more generally afflicted with
the disease about the time Kew corn
is made use of, but an examination
might show that such condition
is rather to be expected. When the
new corn is given they greatly relish
the soft, succuIent, fresh food, and,
if permitted to do so, will eat
enough to change their probable con-
stipation to acute diarrhoea, and put
them in a condition which invites
other ailments.
Much of the so-called cholera
which comes in autumn is but the
diseased condition brought about By
a sudden change from limited
dry diet to a plenthora Of the appe-
tizing new corn. The temptation to
rush hogs off to market before cold
weather approaches should not en-.
courage the farmer to make too
sudden a change in his methods OF
feeding. When the earliest corn is
in full roasting ear stage it may be
given, stalk and all, in moderate
quantity, without any change at first
in the usual feeding. AS the corn
hardens it may be given more liber-
ally, but by a gradual increase. by
the time the corn is fully matured
the hogs will have become well ac-
customed to 1t.
Hogs that have had access to
plenty of green pasture are less liza
ie TO be disturbed by green or new
corn than those previously kept in
dry lots. Where they have been
pastured on rape or green, succulent
food of that character, the risk is
greatly diminished. Pumpkins are
excellent feed for hogs about TO be
nut on green corn. They supply
G,ucculpnce. and their seeds serve
we'll as rcrmifuge.
