Washington News Letter

Washington, Nov 14.-Undoubtedly
the south will again be "in the saddle
in the sixty second congress when one
comes to think Of the possibilities OF
members from that section in the mat
ter of committee assignments. Many
districts of the south have regularly
and consistently returned their con-
gressmen year after year and now that
the house of representatives for the
first time in eighteen years will be con-
trolled by the democrats, these men of
the southland are bound to be recog-
nized when the committee chairman
ships are made up. The campaign for
these choice plums has already com
menced and some of the contests will
DOUBTLESS be very warm indeed. AS a
rule these assignments arc made by
seniority and the members Of as.e pres
emit and preceding congresses will base
their claims on that ground alone.
The Craftsmanship of the ways and
means committee will beyond doubt go
TO Underwood of Alabama. He is a
tariff expert and has had long service
besides being the ranking member Of
the committee.
II Is expected that there will be a
wcgm contest for the chairmanship of
the committee on appropriations. F'itz-
gerald of New York, Burleson of Texas,
and Sherley of Kentucky will be i'm the
race. They are on the committee at
present in the order named. FITZGERALD
will also be placed on the committee
on rules, on account of his parliament
tary ability.
The rivers and harbors committee
will be much sought after by members
from the Mississippi valley and there
Will be contest between RansdeIl of
Louisiana and Sparkman OF Florida.

committee
The interstate and foreign commerce

Adamson of Georgia. He has had long
service on that committee and is emf
nently fitted to head it,

CELEBRATE THEIR BIRTHDAY.
Senator Tillman and DR.. Babeocl
Dined Together.

IS
Thursday was the birthday Of two
exceedingly well known South Caro-
linians, Benjamin Ryan Tillman, an
unique figure in the United States
senate, ard DR.. James Woods Bah
cock, one of the leading alienists Of
the country.
While in many respects vastly Diff
ferent from each other, the senator
and the doctor are intimate personal
friends and have many tastes in COM
mon. Each in his sphere has rem
dered distinguished service to his
state. The senator Thursday entered
his Gath year, the doctor his 55th.
DR.. Babcock was in good berth
with a large asylum in the North
when Senator Tillman sought him
out and brought him South to take
charge Of the State Hospital for the
insane at Columbia and the sound
ness of this choice has been amply
vindicated by the career Of d.. Bah
cock since that time.
The two friends had planned &
little dinner last Sunday at Senator
Tillman's plantation home at Tren'
ton, as sort of anticipatpry celebra'
ton of the birthdays, hut urgent Off
cial business kept DR.. Babcock II
Columbia that day, but the Two din
ed together on Thursday.

RUN DOWN By A TRAIN.
Three Brothers Were Killed and An.
other Was Hurt.

Three boys, all sons Of John H.
Straignht, of Cowesett, R. T., were
killed and a fourth boy, brother
of the others were seriously injur-
ed when q New York bound Port
land express on the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad travel
ing at the rate Of 60 miles an hour
around a sharp turn, ran into the
little group. The hoys' ages rang
ed from to Is years.
The boys were taking short cut
by the railroad and were in sight of
their home when a heavy freight
train came in view. They were
standing on the Express track watch
ing the passing of the freight train
when they were struck, curve pre-
venting the engineer from seeing
them in time to stop the express.
Herbert Straight. who escaped with
severe scratches, ran home with
blood flowing from wounds In his
head and body and it was he who
broke the news of the death Of the
other three boys to the mother.

WOULD SAVE HIMSELF.
Gov. Patterson Sees Handwriting or
the Wall.

AS an outcome of the recent judi
cial election in Tennessee, In which
the regular Democratic nominee,
which he supported were defeated by
indetendents who had the active aid
OF the Republican organization. Gov
ernor Patterson has issued state
ment expressing a willingness to
waive the Democratic nomination for
third term, which he has already
received and again test the question
Of the choice Of Democracy in any
sort of a primary. Thus he would
hope, he says, to save the State to
Democracy.
The address among other things
says:
The pernicioas inter-meddling OF
a Republican President with the al
fairs Of the Democratic party i'll our
State should be resented and his well
laid plan to Republicanize it thwart-
ed before it Is too late.
"Those Democrats who are actively
aiding and abetting his efforts en-
cuse their treason by saying that 1t
is necessary in order to eliminate me
from politics.
sIf this is true, why not bring 1t
about in q way that will restore har-
mony and not destroy Democratic as
cendancy? If the majority of The
Democrats are opposed to me as 1t
is claimed, I should not represent
them as their candidate for Govern
or"
The Governor then offers to enter
new primary and adds:
"The only condition make is that
the successful nominee shall be sup
ported in the November election by
all who participate in the primary.

STRANGER COMMITS SUICIDE.
Went OFF to Himself and Cut His
Throat Totally.

A man who gave his name as John
Shay, went to the mill Of the Will
son Lumber company, about four
miles below Lake City on the 18th
of July and since that time has been
working for them; for the last few
days he had been suffering from
chills and fever, but did not stop
his work. Tuesay night supposedly
about nine o'clock, he went into a
small strip of woods just in the rear
of the mill yard and with razor
cut his throat from ear to ear.
From the gashes it appears that
the first attempt was not so success
full as he desired; the second one,
however, severed both the jugular
vein and the windpipe. The body was
found wednesday morning about 9
o'clock and an inquest was held over
the body. He was given a decent
burial by the'Wilson Lumber Com
pany.
He is described as being man
about feet 10 inches high, medium
build, with sandy hair, slightly BALD
and of Irish descent. There were no
papers about him to lead to his
identity. .

an hour after the firse was discoV'

Capt. w. P. Monroe, assistant
chief of the fire department, who was
the first to enter the room, testified
at the coroner's investigation that
the body was lying parallel with the
bed, which showed no evidence OF
having been disturbed. his feet to-
ward the head of the bed, thus eA-
ploding the theory that the youth
fell from the bed.
The mattress, he testified, was sat

the head of the dead youth was
found a counterpane also saturated
with oil, while two large empty OIL
cans were found in an adjoining

BREAK SOLID SOUTH
PRESIDENT WANTS TO PATCH UP
POLITICAL TROUBLE.
Taft Summons to Beverly the Repub-
icans from Tennessee to Discuss
45.AL... =, tI,.< c+,+o

President Talf and President Had
ley of Yale were in conference at
Beverly in regard to the personnel
Of the commission which is to be ap-
pointed to inquire into the proposed
regulations of the issues of stocks
and bonds by railroads.
While Mr.. Hadley has not yet def
nitely accepted the rendered position
Of chairman of the commission, he
is giving the president all the assist
ance he can in formulating plan Of
work, and it is believed that even
tually he will take the chairmansh1p.
Mr.. Taft is strongly urging the mat
ter upon him.
An effort is being made to have
the commission represent all phrases
of the work. The so-called pro
gressive" sentiment of the republican
party is to be represented.
President Taft and his political ad-
visers believe that the republican
party has good opportunity to car
ry Tennessee this fall and thus make
break in the "Solid South
of the presidents ambitions.
With this in view MIR. Taft has in
vited number of the party leaders
in Tennessee to Beverly in order to
see if the republicans cannot adjust
their differences Of the pass and go
into the coming campaign in har-
mony.
The Tenneseeans lunched Friday
with the President. Among them
we're Representative Sanders and
Judge G. M. Henderson.
The Republican hope as viewed
from Beverley is based on the split
in the democratic party and the re-
cent overwhelming victory of the in
dependent judicial ticket, which won
by from $4,000 TO $4,000 majority.
In addition to governor, there Is
to be. elected this fall legislature,
which will name a successor to Sen
ator Frazier.

KILLED BY THE TRUSTS.
Will Quit Tobacco Culture if Prices
Remain Low.

The business men Of Mullins and
the farmers of Marion, Horny and
Dillon counties are very much dis
turbed over the fact that the prices
of leaf tobacco are so very low.
Should the prices remain as they now
are, 1t is a fact beyond doubt that
the crop will be almost, if not en-
tirely, eliminated next year. This
the farmers declare most positively
will be the case, especially if cotton
remains in the teens.
The Farmers Union may take hold
Of the matter and ask the American
Tobacco Company and the Imperial
Tobacco Company to give better
prices. It is generally believed that
these two corporation control the
prices absolutely. Both concerns
have the incest and costliest plants
in the State at Mullins and 1t is
hoped by all that they can see their
way clear to pay a decent price for
tobacco.
