POLITICS CAUSE OF
WITHDRAWALS FROM

THREE MEMBERS QUIT BECAUSE
OF DIFFERENCES IN RECENT
81. ELECTION.
WAS NOT WHOLLY UNEXPECTED
Veterans Quit the Organization, II Is
Said, Because Many of Their Com
rades Voted for the Fusion candl-
date for Governor In November.

Because, it is alleged, large ma
jority of their comrades voted on No
vember for Capt. Benz. w. Hooper,
the fusion candidate. and the next
Governor of Tennessee, three men,
bers of the local bivouac of Confed-
crate. veterans on Monday created
somewhat of sensation by withdraw
ing fro mthe organization. The three
who took this course were Joe Bellan.
fant, of Culleoka, James White, of
Parks Station and Sam Porter, of
Columbia. All of them are and have
been ardent supporters Of Patterson.
While the move of the three was
not wholly unexpected there were
many who believed that after the ex-
citment of the election was over that
every one would recognize the right
of others to vote as they pleased and
that nothing would come of the NAT
ter. However, as soon as the biv-
ouac met. on Monday, Mr.. Bellanfant
arose and stating in substance that he
did not think the bivouac in view Of
recent events the place for true Con-
federate soldiers, announced his with
drawal from the organization. Mr..
Whites and Mr.. Porter's Withdrawals
were also announced. This closed
the incident.
In the recent election majority of
the Confederate veterans of the coun-
ty voted for Hooper, it is probable
that more than two-thirds of them did
so There is no doubt that major
ity of the old heroes who wore the
gray all over the State took similar
course. In fact it is generally conced-
ed that the old soldiers elected Hoop
er. Their votes and the influence
which they yielded unquestionably
turned the tide for the reform candi-
date. AS the result of their lnde-
pendence and the election of Hooper
the Patterson supporters among the
Confederates in many parts of the
State have been very bitter in de-
nouncing their comrades and in Paris
the bivouac surrendered its charter
because of the differences In the elec-

Is decidedly the coolest weather which
has been felt here this winter. The
mercury dropped twenty-four degrees

the earth was covered with blanket
of snow about an inch deep. At sew

SAND TRAP FILLED
WITH LEAVES AND
WATER is CUT OFF
TWO FEET IN THE RESoRvloR

MAY Bt TURNED ON TONIGHT

Workmen to Get Into the Trap the

Rains Wash Debris into Intake Pine
Wednesdays DaflS.l

Columbia citizens today have been
without water and it may be lateto-
night or even tomorrow before the
water is again turned on In the pipes.
Thefailure of the water supply is due
to the stopping up Of the sand trap
and not to freeze up as many sup
posed. The sand trap became con-
gested with leaves and owing to the
rise in the river during the past two
or three days became covered with
about four feet of water, making 1t
impossible for man to get to 1t and
clean out the leaves.
The water was turned off last night
and many citizens were under the i'm
preston that their pipes were frozen
when they failed to get the water to
run this morning. The cutting of of
the water supply is source of great
inconvenience to the public especial
ly those who have steam heat. At
the Hotel Bethel it has been necessa-
r yto pump water from tho cistern and
pour it into the tanks in order to fur
nish the necessary heat. The same
thing is true of those who have hot
water in their homes.
The sand trap is filed with leaves,
the recent heavy rains having washed
them down the river. They packed
In solid mass In the sand trap. The
pumps worked until midnight last
night but could get no water. They
were then stopped and the water cut
off because of the necessity Of con-
serving the supply In case of emergen-
Icy. There is now two feet Of water
In the reservoir which affords protec-
tion in case of fires.
Manager Dobbins stated this morn
ing that the river was falling and
that he hoped by early this afternoon
to begin cleaning on the sand trap.
If this can be done he expects to be
able to turn the water on tonight
The company has another intake pipe
but it has not been used in eight
years. 1t goes into the river below
Helms Branch sewer and the compa-
ny will not use It.

WATER PIPES FROZEN UP AND

SCARCE THERE.

Because the Water & Light Compa-

night to prevent, as much as possible
the freezing of the water mains, there
was very little fire In the court house
when the officers arrived there for bus
mess this morning. The court house
is steam heated, and of course can
have no steam without water.

Dignity.

Two new Catholic prelates were
consecrated this week. the Right
Rev. John Ward, d. D.. Bishop OF
Leavenworth, Kan, and the Right
Rev. Joseph Schrembs, Auxiliary

He was assisted by Bishop Macs, of
Covington, and Bishop Foley, OF De-
troit, two of the senior Bishops of
the province. The sermon was
preached by the Most Rev. Henry
Moeller. Archbishop of Cincinnati.
Many dignitaries of the church at
tended the ceremonies.
Joseph Sayer, the Fifth avenue
tailor, and his wife, who Is a sister
OF Monsignor Schrembs, went to
Grand Rapids with their children TO
attend the conservation. The Louis
vile visitors were shown many
courtesies by the Catholics of Grand
Rapids.

HIT HARD.
Liberals and Is
Deliver Blow at
Lords.

The first authoritative blow at
the British House OF Lords was
taken on Wednesday when the veto
bill offered by Premier Asquith was
passed on its first reading by a full
Government majority Of 124. The
vote stood 351 to 227. The second
reading of the bill is announced for
next Monday. The Nationalists were
first to cheer the announcement of
the vote. The Liberals also demon
strated enthusiasm over the result.
The Unionists were aware that de-
feat was inevitable and asked for a
conference, but the Liberal leaders
had passed. Hon. Winston Spencer
Churchill closed the debate for the
Government and incidentally stated
that the Government was thoroughly
In earnest regarding it's proposals
of home rule for ireland. The vote
followed and the Unionists were
routed.
On the second reading of the bill
next Monday Austin Chamberlain
will move an official opposition
amendment. Lord Landsdowne,
leader of the opposition in the upper
house. also gave notice on Wednes-
day that he had prepared a bill for
the reform of that body. His fol-
lowers claim that this changes the
aspect Of affairs and that Parliament
must necessarily be prorogued until
after the coronation. At any rate
the Liberals and Nationalists are
not the least bit worried.

the Senators seems utterly mex
cusable. Those who are opposed to
election by the people should put
no obstacles in the way of the sub
mission of the proposition. After 1t
shall have been submitted they can
go to their respective States and
combat its ratification. There is no
other proper place for them to argue
the matter. No sensible man will
find fault with a.Senator who sub
mits to the Legislature of his State
or to its people his reasons for
thinking the amendment should not
be ratified. To deny the people the
right to pass on the question shows
a distrust of the peoples intelligence
and the egotism of the Senator.

IMPORTANT FIGURES.

Ireland is more than 90 per cent
Catholic, and few people in Ulster
have set up the cry that Home rule
means Rome rule" The Irish peo-
pie elect their own Magistrates now
but 1t does not mean that 80 per
cent of the Magistrates are Cath
olics. On the contrary, less than so
per cent. owe spiritual allegiance to
Rome. The latest statistics show
that there are many ereeds repre-
sented on the Magisterial bench in
Ireland.
Bpiscopalians. members of the
Established church. are represented
by 176 Magistrates; the Presbyr
terians or Dlssenters have ninety;
Methodists, twenty-five: Baptists,
three; congregationalists one: So
ciety of Friends. two; Unitarians,
two; Morayian. one; Plymouth
Brothers, one; two Jews. 2S3 Roman
Catholics and three whose religious
creeds are unknown.
Surely this does not look like the
Catholics of Ireland are prosecuting
their brethren on account of religion.
The dissenters appear to have more
than their share OF the best OF it.

WHO ARE CATHOLICS?

The editor of the Southern Mes
senger OF San Antonio, Texas, tells
some pertinent truths in dealing
with the question, Who are
Catholics?" Hear him:
THE church suffers not a little in
the estimation of many good people
for the lack of little discrimination
between those who are and those
who are not Catholics. Who are
Catholics? This is by no means a
superfluous question. There are
many so-called Catholics who have
no real claim to the name. No one
is entitled to tho name Catholic
unless he be PRACTICAL Catholic.
The church is living organism;
she bestows Catholic life upon those
only who are IN communion with
her, and the means of conveying this
life is the sacraments. These are
the only channels of her life, which
10 grace.
UNLESS then man frequent the
sacraments, in other words, is a
practical Catholic, he can not be
said to be leading a Catholic Ire,
and therefore mas no title to the
name Catholic, Faith alone is not
sufficient; faith without works is a
Trotestant, not a Catholic doctrine
A man who believes in the cnurcn
and does not practice what she
teaches and prescribes is impractical
and illogical, ana his faith alone VIII
not save him, no. does II entitle him
TO Catholic communion. He is cut
off from the lie of the church and
Is not to be. ac ;ounted Catholic.
Many a recreant to his Catholic
duties enjoys the name of Catholic,
and his misdee's are Immediately
placed to the account of the church.
This is you Catholicl' is sneeringly
remarked by iufidel and Protestant.
But the fact is that man is not
Catholic, nor does he in any sense
represent Catholicity. He is no
more Catholic than the sneerer
himself. It is unfair and unjust to
the church to class such a man as a
Catholic, and then attribute his
failings to the faith which he never
practices"

In times past Irish patriots have
hurled epithets and epigrammatic
phrases at the British House Of
Lords, yet none was as severe on
the Peers as was Premier Asquith
IN his address on the veto measure.
Just hear him: Hereditary in origin,
irresponsible in the exercises of
its powers, and overwhelmingly
partisan in it's actual composition,
the House Of Lords is the body to
which the law has intrusted the
right to delay and check the con-
sIdered decisions OF elected repre-
sentatives Of the people,"

OBNOXIOUS POST CARDS.

The Hfbernfans of Auburn, n. y,
have called upon dealers in post
cards in that city with a request
that they refrain from handling
postals that reflect upon the Irish
and make them ridiculous. par
ticularly about St. Patrick's day.
This is an excellent idea and one
worthy OF emulation by all Hiber-
mans. When the dealer finds that
his wares are obnoxious he will
cease to buy, and the manufacturer
will cease to create Objectionable
Irish caricatures.
