Senator Martin, Of Virginia,
was named in the democratic
caucus as the minority leader on
the floor of the Senate. Senator
Martin is known as one of the
old line Senators and his support
was received from that class on
the democratic side. Mr.. Mar
tin succeeds SENATOR H. D.
Money as minority leader of the
democrats in the Senate. Senator
Money was recognized as one of
the ablest men in that body. His
successor is but little known to

There has never been heavier
toll of death than that in the
nine horrors of Alabama and
Pennsylvania the past few weeks.
Hundreds of helpless victims met
4 tragic end either by the care
lessness of some one else or
through some unforeseen casual
ty. These mine horrors are
becoming too frequent and the
States wherein the great mining
industries are located should
provide drastic laws for the pro-

THUS REAL CONSERVATION WILL
BE ACHIEVED AT NO ADDED
EXPENSE.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Conseryation
of the forests of America Is certain
to result from the development of
economical building, according TO e.
F. Knight, who addressed the Nation
al Builders Supply Association to-
day.
THE American people have not
yet awakened to the fact that they
can build their houses cheaper Of
brick, in many sections, than they can
with wood" said Mr.. Knight. Maine
is a State of comparative cheap lum-
Der, but we have just completed fg-
ure showing that even in that State,
It costs but per cent more to build
with brick than with lumber"
The speaker declared that brick
men Of the country intended to edu-
cate the public in the economy OF fire
proof construction until, he said, rs
per cent of the wood now used for
building purposes shall be left in the
forests.

Mr.. Jackson urges upon all the citi-
zens of the city to see that their
houses are supplied with these small
mail boxes before the final report
goes in, as he desires to make as good
report for the city as is possible.
Reports come from Washington
that it is more than likely that the bill
as introduced will pass. In this case
there must be several hundred houses
in Columbia that will be either sup
piled Immediately with mail boxes or
left out of the delivery privileges.
The number Of houses which are at
present supplied with boxes is a very
good per cent, but there are scores
Of houses not supplied.
