The legislative, executive and judi
cial appropriation bill. carrying about
s34, 100000, was passed by the Sen
ate Thursday. Very few amendments
were adopted. Senator Owen spoke
in advocacy of his bill for the creation
of a new executive department to be
devoted to the preservation of the pub
lie health. The pension bill carrying
appropriations of about S156,000,000
was passed by the House. Nearly the
entire session was occupied by con-
test, made chiefly by Republicans
as reported from the committee on
pensions, for the abolition of the
eighteen pension agencies now in oper-
alton throughout the country. By q
vote of 76 to "a the House refused to
overrule the recommendations of the
committee. The committee was sus-
tanned chiefly by Democratic votes.
The Senate again Friday refused to
accede to Senator Ellkins' request that
a day be fixed for vote on the admin
istration's railroad bill. A suggestion
was made that month or more might
be required for the debate on that
measure. Senator Bailey announced
he had received assurances that be-
fore adjournment there would be

committee on rules of the House OF
as provided for by the
Norris resolution, was elected withou.
debate. The members selected by the

were named in a resolution brought in
by Mr.. Currier of New Hampshire.
General debate upon the naval appro-
priation bill was begun. Mr.. Bartholdt
OF Missouri spoke in favor of arbitra-
tion and urged the adoption of naval
program to include but one battle
ship annually, which would, he said,
be sufficient to maintain the navy at
irs present strength

of Phair's face, tearing out the left
eye and q considerable portion of the
skull. Williams was brought to New
berry Sunday by Sheriff Buford and
lodged in jail. ~,
The testimony at the inquest. seems
to indicate that the killing was an
accident. Phair came to. Williams
shop for a pair Of pants he had left
to be pressed, and it, seems that the
gun was lying. upon or near the
pants and that wi hen he went to get
the pants Williams picked up the gun
and it went off. Ones witness, how
ever, testified that Williams got the
gun from a corner Of the room. -.
Two Held for Murder.
Cain Henderson was shot and kill
ed by Robert Golden on Mr.. T. J.
Davenport's place, near the Laurens
line, on Christmas afternoon. 1t
seems that a crowd Of negroes had
got together playing, and then began
Knocking" and the testimony at the
inquest is to the effect that during
the, ssknocking' HENDERSON and Gold-
en- fell out, and after some words
Golden shot Henderson. Some OF. the
witnesses testified that before they
commenced knocking" Golden had
laid his pistol down and that when
he got mad and wanted to shoot Aen-
derson that Jim Wyatt handed him the
pistol. The shot entered Hendersons
body on the left side near the region
of the heart. i The coroner's jury re-
turned a. verdict that Henderson came
to his death from gun-shot wound at
the hands of Rob Golden, and held
jim Wyatt as an accessory.
Golden was: arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Pope Buford, who was accom-
panied to the scene by Mr.. Forrest

SHOT HIS BROTHER-IN-LiW.
AFFAIR at Strothers Ferry on Christ
mas Aforementioned Not
Serious.

James NJ. Johnson, of Columbia, was
shot and painfully though not Sc
r1ously wounded, by his brother-in-
law, j. S. J. Suber, Jr., at Strothers
><ferry on Christmas afternoon. John
son had come to that section on
Christmas morning, and it is stated
that he and Suber had a difficulty in
the morning. That afternoon, it is
said, he had gone to the river On his
way to catch a train going back to
Columbia. He was being driven by
a negro Joe Suber. When they reach
ed the ferry they hollered for the
ferry, and Suber, who is a mail rider
on the Fairfield side, and who manages
the ferry, brought it over. The diff
feulty then followed, Johnson being
shot in the face with pistol, the bull
let going through his cheeks, from one
side to the other, and knocking out
several teeth. Johnson went on to
Columbia and, it is stated that he is
getting along we'll, and that his wound
is not believed to be serious. e.
1t was reported in Newberry on
Tuesday morning that Johnson hau
been killed. Sheriff Buford and Coro-
mel. Felker were summoned and boJn
hurried to the scene. All along the
route they were told that Johnson was
dead When they arrived; they found
that this was mistake. -'
Johnson married Miss Minnie Sub
er. Some time ago they disagreed and
separated. Johnson brought habeas
corpus proceedings for the two little
girls by the marriage and the writ
was directed against; Mr.. and Mrs. j.
S. J. Suber, the grandparents of the
children. While Mr.. and Mrs. Suber
were in Newberry preparing return
tn the writ, the mother. went to the
nome of her parents and took the chill
dran and left the State. y. Anore"
Clarkson, OF Columbia, representing
johnson, asked that the grandparents
be ruled for contempt Of court, Du1
upon the showing made by Eugene 5.
Blease, Esq, representing the grand
parents, as to their excellent charac-
ter and the fact that they knew MOTH
ing of the children being taken away
Judge Wilson, before whom the mat
5 ter was heard, refused the motion, ana
dismissed the case so far as the grand
parents were concerned. The johnson
side, however, had an affidavit to the
effect that young J. S: J. suber knew
Of the children being taken away .
1t is supposed that this contest as TO
me children is what led to'the shoot
ing on Christmas afternoon.

THE ALLENDALE CHURCH.
(By DR.. J. W. Woliing)

Of course I refer to the Methodist
church. Well, the conference year is
passed and gone, and wonder if any
body in Newberry has thought to ask
how their ex- pastor has gotten along
during the year. In any case, will
volunteer a few lines of information.
In the first place, we got a good
start. Large Congregations came to
hear, preaching of the Word. The Of
fcials made Liberal plans, and every
body seemed pleased. AS the year
went on the interest grew, the offer
ings for all purposes were large and
an unusual number Of names was ad-
ded to the roll. Allendale is in what is
known as the low country and hence
malarial. However, good health has
been our portion during the entire
year and though our makeup is "lean
and Iank'' by nature, still We have held
our own if not gained in weight and
general appearance.
A more pleasant people could not be
found in the length Of the land; kind
and generous, Intelligent and well-to-
do. A remarkable harmony exists be-
tween the churches and the Methodist
and Baptist churches have union SER
vices all the year round.
The finances Of this congregation
are the easiest proposition have ever
undertaken and the results were en-
tirely satisfactory. Two weeks or
more before conference all the claims
for the benevolent collections had
been paid in full with something 3D.
ditional, and the pastors salary was
paid and over a hundred dollars OF
surplus added. For next year good
increase will be made in the estimate
for the salary, and the most improved
methods adopted for It's regular pay
ment. So that it has been a very
pleasant year, and there are hopes,
by Gods blessing, of a better in the
one to come.

 THE BRINKLEY MARKET.
 There are those who insist that the Brinkley market is always lower than Clarendon and other nearby markets.
 On Wednesday J. F. Linsey of Monroe was in Brinkley and re- ported that he together with A. H. Fryer and J. H. Collins, of Cypress Ridge had all carried cotton to Clarendon on Tuesday and had sold for 14:60.
 In order to ascertain the cash price in Brinkley, on Tuesday the ARGUS man looked up the sales. I found that on that same day Loss Moss, L. K. Brown and others sold their cotton in Brink ley and received 14:6O which was exactly the price paid in Clarendon.
 The ARGUS editor is anxious to ascertain the exact conditions in the market. This incident looks just like the prices ip Brinkiey and Clarendon were about the same.
 Our merchants, if they were prganisa as they should be might casiIy md 2 way to induce these clever people from the Ridge and other sections to see that there's an advantage in coming to Brinkley to sell their cotton even if the price paid by Clarendon and Brinkley is just the same.

ARKANSAS ON WHEELS.
Boosters will Send Our Handsomely Eqasraea
 Advertising Train.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 23 One of the strongest boost Ark ansas" movements that has ever been proposed is the sending out of the special advertising exposi- ton train Arkansas on Wheels" which is to be carried through certain sections of Missouri, Kan- sas, Nebraska, Iowa and into Illinois, spending two days in Chicago while the American Land Congress is at it's height the last week in November.
 The Arkansas on Wheels" special train will be an elegantly appointed train of Pullman pal ace sleeping cars and three big exhibit cars. The exhibit cars will show the varied products of the farms, gardens, orchards and mines of Arkansas.
 The exhibit part of the train will be under the supervision of the new commissioner of agri- culture and mines, Fred H. Phillips.
 An advance or advertising rep resentative of Arkansas on Wheels" will be sent out over the territory through which the train will pass, telling of it's schedule and the attractiveness of the free show" Gov. Geo. w. Donaghey, who heartily in- dorses this live wire way" of putting Arkansas in the eyes of the outside world, has been in- vited to occupy a drawing-room aboard the train on. its entire itinerary. The governors offi- cial duties requiring his close personal presence at the new state house may prevent him from being aboard the train through all the trip, but he has signified his intention of being aboard during the show in Chi cago.
 One of the waking up features of the Arkansas on Wheels train will be the red apple re- ception" which it will hold in Chicago. At this time each vis- itor to the train will be enabled to carry away real souvenirs of Arkansas worldbeating products, sacks of rice, of cotton and big red apples. These apples will probably come from Pope county, which recently won the first prize at the state fair on apples. In the Pope county display on train apples will be one of its strongest features.
 The Arkansas on Wheels Fad vertising train is being pushed by Vim. B. Folsom, the Brinkley man and Arkansas booster. He reports that the success of the train IS assured and that it is going to be even greater and bigger success than was even at first contemplated.
