kk~ EACON'' JOHN CALVIN
HEMPHILL. editor of the
Charleston News and Courier
and one of the most inter-
esting newspaper figures In the South,
was in Washington the other day.
The Deacon, who wields a pen Wig
orously, is one OF the stumbling blocks
for "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman down IN
the Palmetto State. Senator Tiilman
likes Hemphill as the devil likes holy
water and the Deacon reciproCates.
Nevertheless, through some OF their
friends, they met up" while the Dea-
con was in Washington. The session
lasted for a half hour, and they do say
there was an exchange of compliments
that would have edf1ed the whole state
o. South Carolina If it could have
heard It,
Just like a meeting of two bantam
ROSTERS is the way one person ia
miliar with it describes it.
1t appears that HtmphnI had no soon

man threw a hot. soaring sentence at
him. The Deacon caught il and threw
back another just as hot, Just as scar
ing. Tillman lodged il and came back
with another and for a time the air
was rife with language thst would
have made t-e Senate go into executive
session. The best judgment of those
competent TO pass on the bout Is that
1t was draw. II can be said, without
any fear OF contradiction, that no Of
fensive and defensive alliance is like
~ TO be formed between "Pitchfork
Ben and the Deacon just yet.

REMOVE EATING HOUSE LICENSE
Bill Passes Delaware House Onani-
mousy and Goes to the Senate

By a vote of 80 ayes and no noes,
the House passed the bill repeating
the act now in existence taxing eating
house keepers, ice cream saloons
and soda water fountain keepers a
State license of S25. Mr.. Brockson
argued for the passages of the repeal
er in behalf of widows and poor per-
sons who desired to thus earn an
honest living. There was also gen
eral interest in the matter. If the
burdensome tax were taken off and
every body were allowed to open
eating and refreshment houses, better
dinners would be served with more
food and better qualify of food on
the table-not that any of the mem
bers of the House are gourmands or
even epicureans, and the bill passed
without a dissenting vote.
