Mr.. Williams responded in kind. stating
that if he were making as great an ex-
hibition of himself as the gentleman
from Minnesota normally naturally
does of himself, he would feel safer for
himself than he did them. Mr.. Williams
was about to state that he had been
proceeding in the best of good humor,
when a demand for the regular order
cut him off.

Press Censorship,

Almost the first subject to occupy the
attention of the house today was the
speech made yesterday by Mr.. Cook of
Colorado attacking the president Air.
TaWney of Minnesota offered a reSolu-
ton calling for the appointment of a COM
mittee of five to make investigation and
report as TO the advisability of expung-
ing the words from the record.
Messrs. Fitzgerald of New York and
Clark of Missouri argued that the reso-
luton was not privileged. Mr.. Clark
maintained that a dangerous precedent
was being established and he charged that
the resolution was simply the establish
ing OF d press censorship in the house.
The resolution was adopted by d viva
VCce vote and the speaker announced the
following as the committee to conduct the
investigation: Mann of Illinois, Perkins
of New York. Porter of Vermont, Clay
ton of Alabama and Howard of Georgia,

Tennessee.
On a similar point by MIR Douglass of
Ohio the paragraph authorizing proposals
for raising the battleshiD Maine in Ha-
the appeals OF Mr.. Suizer of New York.
Mr.. Sulzer said it was a national disgrac zee
to continue to allow the wreck to remain
and not to take out the sixty bodies from
she hulk.
When the provisions relating to the
isthmian canal commission was reached
an amendment by Mr.. Fitzgerald of New
York. cutting down the salary Of Secre-
tary Bishop from $4,000 to 5000 per an

Mr. Bishop was provided with an 81 OO0

Rit 8insIey's Troubles.
Bill Bingley was before the court to
show cause why he should not pay tenn
porary aiimony. His wife, Agnes, a
snappy little woman with black hair
and eyes and red cheeks, told her story
sharply. She said William had drawn
500 he had saved nearly three weeks
ago. She had no means of support,
while Bill owned a house and received
s45 d month as deputy game warden.
She was cToss-examined by H. A.
Smith. who appeared for Bingley, as to
why she had eollared a deed to the
property she had mentioned and placed
it on file in the recorders office shortly
before suing for divorce. Sure, took
it," said she. 1T certainly didn't walk
out. ] did il for safety's sake
Considerable Importance attached to
this decd, which is to the half of dou-
BILE house in which the family lived.
The deed, Bingley said, had been made
out by his father to him some time ago,
but he knew nothing about it, and it
was not to be delivered until the old
mans death. Mrs. Bingley, he said,
went to the chest of drawers where his
father kept his things and took it out,
afterward recording it without his
knowledge. Binsley said he had been
told he was going to lose his job as
deputy game warden next month, and
that he had nothing else to live on. The
$500 he had saved bit by bit in ten
years. Living with him now were his
paraiyzed father, sister and her little
daughter. He never claimed the prop
erty under the deed, and did not do so
now. He wanted his wife to help can
Gel the deed, but she refused.
James Perry had induced the old man
to sign the deed, and said the old man
did not intend to deliver it, but to hold
on to the property until his death.
II. \. Smith. for Bingley. asked for
an early hearing. because of matters
behind the testimony given which the
court should know before ordering any
money to be paid to Mrs. Bingley.
Judge Morse made an order setting the
case where it can be heard April !, and
requiring Bingley to pay her SIS a
month until then, with S25 attorneys
fees when the case comes up for trial.
Mrs. Bingley resides with her daugh-
ter at 247 West Sixth South. The daugh-
ter is a stenographer employed with
the Western Pacific. She brought suit
about d fortnight ago charging that
Bingiey's vile language and his ha bits
of swearing made il impossible 10 live
with him. Non-support was also
charged. They were married oct. .,

The present low price that is being
offered for rice, and the excessive cost
of producing this years crop, is
causing considerable apprehension
not only among planters, but business
men as we'll, as to the ultimate out
come of conditions in the Rice Belt.
Men are coming to realize that here,
as in every other one crop country,
The ultimate solution of the problem
is to be found only in diversltlcatl0n,
of crops. There has been little real
effort put forth to determine what
this country will produce successfully,
IN the past, but the time is coming
when planters are beginning to look
about for something to put on their
rice ground that will compensate them
for their labor and at the some time
give the ground rest. One OF the
most promising dry land crops seems
to be broom corn. 1T appears that
the broom corn fields of the north
are falling short in their production
so that, whereas broom straw a few
years ago was raised and sold at a
fair profit, for, from $500 to $1,000
per ton it is now worth from 5000. OF
to $25O.00 per ton, which gives the
producer an immense profit. Tha
broom corn can he raised in this
country there is but little doubt, a.
it has been grown in small quantitie!
by several of our citizens and ha!
been pronounced, by broom corr
experts of the north, to be equal tt
the best. Another favorable feature
about trying q crop of broom corr
is that it can be produced at little ex
pense A field of broom corn can b.
grown at but little more expense thai
an area of ordinary corn, and will
grow profitably on ground that vii
not produce anything else, although
better results, of course, will be oh
tanned from better ground.

Unsuccessful Attempt Made To Burg.
larize The Welsh JewcIry Store,

Some time between Saturday night
and Monday morning, Would-be
thieves broke into the Welsh Jewelry
Store, The entrance was made
through rear window, screen Of
which was carefully removed, and
holes cut in the window glass that
permitted the burglars to unlock and
raise the window While there was
every evidence that one or more per-
sons had been in the building, nothing
was taken 50 far as the proprietor has
vet been able to discover. This may be
attributed to one of the two reasons,
first that the intruders were frightened
away, but more probably to the fact
that Mr.. Greer, the jewellery, places all
the more valuable Of his wares in his
safe at night, leaving out such things
as would not ia the main, appeal to
the light fingered gentry.
This is the second case of burglary
that has occurred here within the past
two days. While it is to he hoped
that the criminals who are perpetrat-
ing these depredations may soon be
either captured or run out OF the
country, yet it wi pay all residents
of Welsh to look well to the care OF
their property.

The Times Democrat OF Oct sun,
1909, in speaking of the propaganda
which brought to the notice or europe
the value Of corr as a food, says edl-
tOrially:-
"The two cases should prove OF
GREAT encouragement to the Southern
rice growers. who are working JUST
now to popularize rice as tood, ana
who are lighting the same preJuolce'
only that it is on the part or our
Northern and Western brethren, be-
cause they will not take the trouble to
cook their rice properly. II BRUSH
and German prejudice, which IS SO
much stronger, could be overcome
and cornmeal, and corn-on-the-cob
brought into popular favor in those
countries, it will be strange indeed II
we can not convert the world to tne
merits of rice cooked in Louisiana
style"

Sweet Potatoes Bring $4,000 Per
Acre and Not q Good Crop Either.

Rev. E. H. Rees, living few miles
northwest of Welsh, was in town Fri
day with q load of sweet potatoes,
which he was selling for 81 per BUSH
ell. He says that owing to the long
dry spell, his crop was very short,
making only about SO bushels to the
acre. Fifty bushels per acre at 81 per
bushel, yields $50 per acre without the
expense of water rent, expensive ma
chinery and the numerous other ex-
penses that are required to make a
rice crop.
