SUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
Carries Approximately One Hundred
and Forty Millions.

In passing the sundry civil bill, car
rying approximately $4,000, the
house of representatives made a new
record Never before in the memory
of capitol attaches has the sundry civil
bill, the biggest of all the supply bills,
been put through the house in two
days under the general rules and with
out gag" of any sort being resorted
to.
Only the general deficiency bill re-
mains to be passed by the house.
Constituting what is believed to be
another new record, the house passed
$67,000,0O0 of the total in the sundry
civil bill by Unanimous consent" Of
this amount the public building items,
aggregating more than S21 100000,
were adopted without being read by
the clerk.
The general Panama canal appro-
priations, amounting to nearly $46,000,-
900, were passed without discussion
or question of any sort. The item for
the fortifcation of the canal was con-
sidered as an entirely separate pro-
vision.

RAILROADS ARE
LOSERS IN FIGHT
Contest Made to Increase Rates
on Freight.
SHIPPERS ARE THE WINNERS.
Interstate Commerce Commission Dis
approves Advances In Class Freight
Rates Approxlmating the Sum Of
$27ooo,ooo Yearly - Restore Old
Rates.

The interstate commerce commission
has decided against the railroads in
the Eastern and Western" cases. The
decision was eagerly awaited by roads
and shippers alike.
Proposed advances in class freight
rates in official classification territory,
aggregating among all the railways in
the territory approximately $27,000,000
year, were disapproved by the CON-
mission
In the case involving the increases
by the railroads in western trunk line
territory the commission also declined
to approve the proposed advances in
commodity rates. The carriers in both
cases are required to cancel on or be-
fore March 10, their advanced tariffs
and restore their former rates, which
are the rates now in effect If this re-
quirement be not compiled with, the
commission will issue a formal order
suspending the proposed advances and
putting into effect the existing rates
for at least two years.

WAS SOLDIER OF FORTUNE
John Boyd, Hero of Crimean War, and
British Writer Dies in Huntsville.

John Boyd, chief editorial writer of
the Mercury-Banner and Weekly Mer,
curry, Of Huntsville, Ala, and for many
years connected with the STATS of
many newspapers in the east and
north, died in that city, after brief
Illness.
Mr.. Boyd was about Is years old and
leaves a widow. Mr.. Boyd was born
in Ireland and in early life entered
the British army.
He fought in the Crimean war and
in the campaign in India that suppress.
ed the Sepoy rebellion. He was a sol
der in the column that cut its way
through millions of Sepoy's to the re-
lief of Lucknow, and his descriptive
writings of that campaign, appearing
in the Liverpool Gazette a short time
later, attracted much attention.
AS a staff correspondent of the Liv.
erpool paper, he came to America and
was so charmed with this country that
he remained and took up journalistic
work in the large cities of the east.
Thirty years ago he was with the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, later with the Re.
publican Banner in Nashville and then
came to Huntsville and became a
member of the first staff of the Daily
Mercury.
His writings covered a wide range of
subjects and his knowledge of politics
and history was apparently unlimited.

TWO LYNCHINGS.
Georgia Mob Dealt Swift Vengeance
to Negro SIayers.

Two negroes were taken from the
Jail at Warrenton, Ca, and lynched.
They were carried to the outskirts of
town, strung up and riddled with bull
lets.
One of the negroes was Charlie
Jones, who shot and killed Conductor
w. w. Thompson Thursday night, and
the other was John Veazey, who, in
November of last year, killed Charlie
Parham, a white farmer, of this
county.
The mob was quiet and orderly and
met no resistance, as the sheriff was
out of the city at the time the Jail was
broken open.
Few people of the town knew of the
occurrence until daylight.
The bodies were unclaimed and
were shipped to the Atlanta College of
Physician sand Surgeons by DR.. G. R.
Manner under the recent law authoriz.
ing the anatomical board of Georgia
to dispose of unclaimed bodies.

CANAL BONDS.
Issue Of s5o,ooo,ooo May Be Made by
Government.

An issue of $3OOOO,OOO to $4,000, 900
of per cent Panama bonds seems GER
tain to be made as$soon as congress
passes the bill authorizing the secre-
tary of the treasury to withhold the
new securities from use as a basis for
additional national bank notes.
In the event that the present oppo-
sition to the legislation affecting the
bonds should prevent its passage, an
issue of per cent certificates of in
debtedness, having one year to run, is
probable. That is the treasury's ten.
tative plan now.
In view of the sale of about $780,.
100000 industrial improvement bonds
during January and the prediction that
about $500,00O,000 more will find their
way to market in the next few
months, treasury officials agree this
is "a propitious time for an issue Of
government securities.

FLORIDA TOWN IS
SWEPT BY fire
White Springs Suffers Loss Of.
100000.
% STRUCTURES DESTROYED.
Fire Started in the Baptist Parsonage,
and, Owing to High Wind, Burned
RapldIy-Lake City Fire Department
Was Rushed to Scene.

White Springs, a small resort on the
Suwanee river, was practically de-
stroyed by fire, which started in the
Baptist parsonage and spread rapidly
through the business district.
A total OF twenty-eight structures, a
majority OF them mercantile establish
ment3 and including four large hotels,
were destroyed before the flames
burnt out.
A high wind was blowing, and the
fire spread with such rapidity that the
guests of ore of the hotels were
threatened and several slightly burned
before they could reach place of
safety.
The absence of a fire department
made the town helpless, and, once the
fire started, although the Lake City
department was rushed to the city by
special train, it was Of no help on ac-
count of the absence Of a water sup
ply.
The damage is conservatively placed
near 100000.

FLORIDA MAKING GAINS.
Reports of Various Departments Show
Wonderful Advance.

Advices from Tallahassee say that
State Printer Appleyard has turned in
to State Treasurer Knott his annual
report for 1910. He will complete
soon the reports of the secretary of
state and comptroller These latter
make over 700 pages each. The re-
port of Commissioner of Agriculture
McLin is more than half ready. This
deals more extensively into the re-
sources of the state than any of the
others, and will possibly make vol
ume of 800 pages.
The statistical census of the state,
as to its manufactures, is said to be
much more complete than that of the
government census. Col Elliott, of
Mr.. McLins office, says that unless a
comparison is made with former
years, no one has any conception of
the wonderful advance Florida is max
ing along all industrial lines.

FOR BETTER RATIONS.
Fight Begun More Than a Year Ago
Is Successful.

The fight inaugurated more than a
year ago for the betterment of the
rations served in the various national
soldiers homes was won at Washing
ton when the provision in the sundry
civil bill, increasing the appropriation
for this purpose by 100000, was
adopted
Representative Cox, of Ohio, called
attention to the fact last year that the
average ration in the soldiers homes
was 141a cents, and that in some it
was as low as II cents, or about the
same as in the federal penitentiaries.
The increase provided will bring the
average rations up to II cents.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
Jacksonville Takes Great Interest in
National Highway.

Resolutions were adopted by the
board of trade at Jacksonville pledg-
ing that body to active work in assist
ing the New York Herald and the At
lanta Journal in their efforts to extend
the National highway to that city.
This matter has been under consider
alton for several days.
These two papers have advocated
the highway between Atlanta and New
York city, and it was on account of
their ability to arouse interest in such
matters that the board of trade asked
them to start the work in extending
the highway to Jacksonville.
When the matter was brought up,
much enthusiasm was manifested by
the four or five hundred members
present.

Would Abolish LIuuor.

Senator White introduced a bill sup- hitting the question of statewide pro hibition to the people at the next gen eral election. It provides that the people vote for and against statewide local option. If the local option re- ceives majority of the votes cast, then local option will continue to pre- vail. but if statewide prohibition re- ceives a majority of the votes cast, then statewide prohibition will be in effect from and after the announce ment of the results. The bill provides that if statewide prohibition prevails whiskey and wine shall not be sold in drug store in any locality of the state, either for medicinal or sacra- mental purposes, and that it shall not be sold on the prescription of phy- sician.
