and not single speaker fell down."
MIR. Jones, in very happy manner,
and spoke Of the difficulty with which
the decision as to the winners was
reached. This is substantiated by the
fact that the judges were out so min
utes before a decision was reached.

HOT SHOT AT HITCHCOCK.
"PostOilice Department Greatest Po-
litical Machine" Says Cullop.

Washington, April 2S.-"The post
office department is the greatest po-
lIlcaI machine ever constructed in
this or any other country and it is
openly administered as q political or
ganization."
This was the charge made on the
floor Of the House OF REPRESENTATIVES,
today by Mr.. Cullop, Of Indiana. who
referred to Postmaster General Hitch
cock as being the presiding genius Of
this organization.
Too much time devoted by the
head of the department to political
affairs and too little to business, were
declared by Mr.. Cullop to be re-
sponsible for the annual deficit in
the operation Of the department. He
said the people should know whether
any of the 272,OO0 postmasters or
employees had been DISCHARGED or re-
duced In rank for failure to perform
political duties or contribute to cam
paign funds and whether employees
are regularly assessed for campaign
purposes and are punished If they
do not comply.
He declared that the appointive
power lodged with the President is
greater than that enjoyed by any
foreign monarch.
The power vested in the President
is almost unlimited" he said.
mo man is wise enough or good
enough to be trusted with such pow
er. 1t is the experience Of the world
that men clothed with ouch power
become impatient Of restraint"
Mr.. Cullop advocated the direct
election Of many of the Federal en-
ployees, such as United States mar
shals and postmasters.

TRINITY LICKS CLEMSON.
Second Game Like First Though not
Quite So Poor and Unintercsting.

Trinity walked away with Clemson
again Thursday afternoon at the
second game of ball. which was play
ed on the local diamond, for with
Bob CAN'T in the box, Clemson was
unable to keep up with thu fast pace
set by the superior team.
The Clemson team as a whole did
poor work both in the morning and
afternoon. many errors being ac-
credited to different members Of the
team and poor playing In general be-
ing the main trouble of the game.
The afternoon game was not quite so
slow as that of the morning, but it
could not be called brilliant exhi-
bition Of baseball. During the first
few innings Clemson showed some
life and did coed playing. but later
the same apathy of the morning
seemed to steal over them. The crowd
of Clemson rooters. however, was
much more lively and did some
cheering. A band of colored youths
was admitted during the hast half of
the game and some amusement was
created for the benefit Of the spec
tators by the efforts Of these raga-
mullins to put up some music.
The crowd that attended the game
was much larger than that Of the
morning. 1t numbering somewh ere
near the thousand mark. but most of
this crowd became tired before the
game fas out and left field and grand
stand before the seventh inning.
The lineup was practically tn.
same as that OF the morning.

Sounds Annexation Note During
Debate Another Entertains with
Scmi-HumOrOus Tariff Speech.

Washington, April 2S.-There was
nothing to the predicted riot of the
Senate Republican insurgents TODAY.
except the reading Of a long state
ment Of grievances by Senator La
Toilette. The general opinion seems
TO be that the insurgents have had
little real cause to complain, and
that they have been fortunate to re-
ceive as good committee assignments
as they have, in view Of all the cir
cumstances.
The debate on the free list bill
dragged along slowly in the House
for another day, the majority Of the
members being out Of their seats
most Of the time. Some Of the speech
es were good. but there was nothing
startling.
An incident Of interest, as showing
the feeling Of disgruntled Republi-
cans, was the advocacy of Canadian
annexation by Mr.. Prince, Of Illinois,
on the heels of the Presidents
speech in New York, deprecating the
talk on annexation. The debate will
certainly run we'll into next week.
Mr.. Prince said that the pouring Of
Americans into the Canadian North
west and the attitude OF the controll-
ing forces Of the Democratic party
could mean nothing else than an
nexation. reciprocity and free trade
with Canada, being the first step to-
ward that end.
Mr. Prince declared that the re-
ciprocity bill was the worst bargain
ever driven by one nation with an
other, and that the "Democatic far
mers' free list bill ought to be label
led the farmers fake bill"
The real climax of the session
came when Representative Kent, of
California, a new Republican Senator,
the general tariff question, arraign-
ing "a revenue tariff upon necessi-
ties"
Mr.. Kent said that a protective
| tariff was an attempt to tax our
selves rich"
"The nation can acquire wealth. IL
not merit he said, "by unanimously
consenting 70 the reciprocal picking

Secures Big Contract.

The following article from the
Ocala, Fla, Banner will be read with
interest by many Sumter people by
reason of the fact that 1t records the
success OF Sumter boy. Mr.. John F.
jenkins. the eldest brother Of Mr.. r.
b. Jenkins:
THE contract for the erection of
the new building for the Ocala Nat
ional Bank was awarded Saturday
by the bank officials to Messrs. Will
liams and Jenkins, who were Tho
builders OF che government building
in this city. and are now constructing
the new jail
Capt. John Youus. the United
states supervising architect, says that
In all his experience the federal
building in Ocala gave him the least
trouble, as the contractors followed
the plans and specifications to the
letter and did not try to slip in a
piece Of shoddy material, nor did they
do a particle Of shoddy work. No
workmen could possibly receive a
higher endorsement than that which
Capt. Young voluntarily gives these
gentlemen.
Messrs. Williams and Jenkins Sc
cured the contract Saturday In con-
petition with more than 4 dozen
bidders and the reputation which
they achieved held them in good
stead"

Will Sec Reciprocity Through.

Ottawa, Ont, April 2S.-The de-
termination Of the Canadian Govern
ment to ratify reciprocity was en-
phasized in Parliament today by the
Prime Minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
who declared that he would not 60 to
England to represent Canada at the
imperial conference or to the Coro-
nation Of King George in June, but
would remain here to press the
agreement If the opposition persist
ed in obstructing it's ratification.
The matter was brought before
Parliament by Opposition Leader
Borden, who asked Sir Wilfrid what
his intentions werc in regard to the
approaching events in London.
Il deem it my duty to attend" re-
piled Sir Wilfrid, "and engaged nv
passage six weeks ago, but I have
come to the conclusion that should
my presence be required in Canada.
- "ii' NC iiiy uuty W lOTeRO the
privilege Of attending the conference.
My first duty is to Canada. The one
bar to the trip Is the trade agree
ment with the United States.
Mr.. Borden has said he and his
followers offer uncompromising op-
position to the ratification Of the
agreement. ] may add that We offer
uncompromising support for the
Igreement.
ut is we'll known that under the
rules Of the Canadian House it is
possible for the Opposition to block
measure almost indefinitely. 1t has
come to us that the Opposition has
such intention. If such is the tenn
per of the Opposition, l think it will
be necessary for me to revise my de-
termination to go to England"

REAPPOINTMET BILL PASSES
WITH No AMENDMENTS.
With f3S as Basis, Houston Measure
Permits All tn Retain at Least
Present Numerical Status.

Washington. April 27.-A bill pro
viding for the enlargement OF the
national house Of representatives
from 39i to 433 members and the ap-
portionment OF these members to the
different States on the basis OF the
population shown by the recent fed
eral census passed the house early
. this evening after vain efforts OF MEM
bers Of both political parties to amend
IL In important particulars. The pro-
posed size OF the house is Identical
with that provided for In the Crum-
packer bill. passed by the house at
the last session Of Congress, but not
acted on by the senate. The Houston
bill. passed by the house tolay, leaves
10 the legislatures OF the different
States the power to rearrange the
congressional districts In their respec-
tive States on the new population
basis OF one member for each 211,-
ST. OF inhabitants.
The two amendments proposed to-
day and defeated after lengthy de-
bate. were to put restricting power in
the hands OF the governors OF States
when tho Legislature had failed to act;
and TO limit the house In the future
TO a membership OF 43o or 432, leav-
ing future reapportionments to the
secretary Of the department OF COM
msrce and labor.
Both OF these amendments were
vigorously championed by the Repub-
!, hcans. with some Democratic sup
! port
The amendment offered by Mr..
fcrumpacker. formerly the Republi-
can chairman OF the committee on
census, which had charge of the re-
Spportionment subject, to give the
governors OF States power to carry
put the arrangement of congressional
districts was declared by Mr.. Hamlin
OF Missouri (Dem.) to be a deliberate
effort OF Republican politicians Of
Missouri to give the Republican gov
ernor OF that State power to make up
the new districts. so that Republican
districts might be constructed by
; "gerrymandering methods"
Mr.. Bartholdt. Republican, also Of
Missouri. challenged this statement
and asserted that the last Democratic
legislature that reapportioned the

) had violated the federal statute by
'rmahing tho districts Of greatly vary
