ONE BILL is PASSED
District Secures a Solitary
Measure i'm the House.
STREET EXTENSION
Even This Bill Would Not Have
Been Allowed IL Representative
johnson Had Not Been Temporarily
Absent-Passage of Measure Causes
Incident-Barry Bill Defeated.

measure to authorize the extension
of one of the streets of Washington tied
the House up for half an hour last night
and produced an exchange of more or
less uncomplimentary language between
Representative Focht of Pennsylvania,
and johnson, of Kentucky. The bill pro-
vided for the extension of Van Buren
street from Piney Branch road to its
present Western terminus east OF Third
street west Representative Focht called
up the measure during the consideration
OF the unanimous consent calendar.
Representative johnson had apparently
sworn an oath to defeat the legislation.
In fact, he intimated privately that the
street was simply the extension of road
to somebody's farm. The Kentuckian.
however, was absent from the hall of the
House when the matter came up and did
not arrive until another bill authorizing
the extension of Underwood street north
west was proposed for consideration.
Representative johnson promptly offered
the necessary objection to stall the bill
and it was laid aside.
Caused Exchange of Words.
An hour later, Representative Focht,
in order to throw ample safeguards
had then passed both the Senate and the
House, and was ready for the Presi-
dents signature. moved to reconsider the
bill, and to lay that motion on the table.
Mr.. johnson caught his cue, but was
unable to accomplish anything beyond
suggesting the absence of a quorum. The
doors were accordingly closed and the
roll called. Representative Mann at this
juncture complained bitterly OF the pro-
ceeding of Messrs. johnson and FOcht
in holding up the House in such a man
ner. Mr.. Focht promptly replied with
some heat:
Yes: but | want a square deal from
that man over there"
The Kentucky Congressman heard the
remark imperfectly and demanded saw
agely: What's that you say?" and
turned toward the desk of the Pennsyl-
vanian.
I demand fair play for certain con-
stituents of mine" returned Focht.
johnson appeared to be pacified, and
the prospects of war faded away when
the House supported the motion clinch-
ing the passage of the Van Buren
street bill
Barry Place Bill Defeated.
Representative Cox, of Ohio, called up a
bill authorizing the extension OF Barry
place northwest. 1t went down to de-
feat upon the objection of Representative
Humphrey, of Mississippi. Representa-
tive Cox made an appeal in behalf Of the
measure, which he explained proposed
to give an entrance to Mcmillan Park,
which was very much needed, and to af-
ford a more direct line of travel from the
northern part of the city to the Soldiers
Home and Catholic University. The
measure was defeated under the usual in
timations of the opposers of such meas
ures that an improper real estate deal
was being attempted.

ACT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Magistrate CAN'T Says Boarding
House Bill is Invalid.

Spartanburg, Sept. 22.-Claiming g
that the board bill act Of the Legis-
lature Is unconstitutional, Magistrate
r. j. CAN'T has thrown out the case
Of Mrs. Kennedy vs.. Q. G. Smith.
The decision is a unique one.
Some time ago Mrs. Kennedy, who
conducts boarding house, brought
criminal action against Mr.. Smith
for failing to pay his board bill Mr..
Smith had boarded with Mrs. Ken
nedy and he was asked to give up
his room before the month expired.
Mr.. Smith gave up his room, but re-
fused to pay the board bill for the
reason, it is alleged. that Mrs Ken
nedy refused to state her reason why
she asked for his room, and that she
sought to make him pay board be-
fore his month was up.
At the investigation before Magis-
tratc CAN'T the act Of the Legisla-
turc making the failure to pay a
board bill q. criminal offcnse. was
read, and the question was raised
that II the act was enforced it would
amount to nothing more shan i'm
prisonment for debt, which Magis-
trate CAN'T held TO be unconstitu-
tional, for in South Carolina a man
cannot be imprisoned for debt.
rho point raised by the defendant
was sustained by the court and the
case dismissed.

Grenville, Sept. 22.-At present
the campaign for Solicitor for this
circuit, which will be waged next
summer and which will be filed by
the successful candidate in the pri-
mary next August, is beginning to
two names have been suggested as
prospective successors to the in
cumbent, Proctor A. Bonham, and
though these have not yet definitely
announced that they will be in the
race, they are considering the mat
ter and will, if they decide to run,
make their announcement later.
These two names are John NJ. Daniel
and j. Robert Martin, both attorneys
of this city. Other names have been
suggested from the local bar, but it
is not thought that any of these will
consider the race. Two names that
have been spoken of In connection
with the race are D. NJ. Smoke and
J. II. Price. Whether or not there
will be candidates from any other
towns in the circuit cannot now be
said, for no names have been brought
forward or announced publicly.
Mr.. Bonham has been Solicitor for
the past three years, and his term
will expire with next year. While
no statement has been received from
him it is thought that he will be in
the race for reelection.

Would Block Meyers Plan.

Washington, Sept. pa move
ment is said to be afoot to block the
plan Of Secretary Meyer to practi-
cally close some Of the smaller
Southern navy yards and stations In
the interest Of economy. At present
appropriations for the actual main
tenance for the navy yards and
docks are made in lump sum, and
it Is left to the Secretary of the Navy
to distribute this among the differ.
ent yards in his discretion.
Opponents to the sccretary's plan
are expected to urge that instead OF
making this lump appropriation
Congress shall itself specify the ex.
act amount Of money to be expended
at each yard and station for main.
tcnance. This would deprive the sec.
retary Of any discretionary power.

The "Pcanut Wccyil."
(NewS and Courier. J

(NeWS and Courier.)
Nature has provided the peanut
with a hide" or shell which is prac-
tically impervious to insect attacks,
unless some greater force than the
insects possess shall do the work of
breaking the armor.
Until few years ago the peanut
was regarded as one Of the products
immune from insects depredations,
but within this interval the develop
ment of the mechanical thresher or
picker has changed the situation to
such an extent that some dealers in
peanuts have been almost driven out
Of the business because of the raw
ages Of insects on peanut stock.
The department Of agriculture es-
Inmates that between 20 and 80 per
cent of the peanuts handled by ma
chimes are broken in the process by
being fed to the machines too quick
ly by the operators, thus leaving an
easy access for insects to this proper
ton Of the nuts. The peanut crop
of this country in 1910 was valued
at 81 5000, 900, and the loss due to
insect depradations is believed by
the department TO have been easily
$3,000,000.

SOCIETY WOMAN MANsLAYER.
Sends Three Bullets into Victims
Baclx--No Eyc-Witnesses.

Opelousas, La, Sept. 21.-Declar-
ing that she had been insulted, Mrs.
j. p. McCrea shot and instantly kill
ed Allen Garland this morning in the
McCrea home. Both are prominent
socially. The McCreas and Garlands
are neighbors.
Mrs. McCrea used revolver and
sent three bullets through Garland s
back, any one Of which, it is thought,
would have been fatal. She Is the
wife Of a division road superintend-
ent of the Frisco Railroad.
Garland's family Is one of the most
influential in this section of the
State. Young Garland was near
relative of District Attorney Gar
land.
Although Mrs. McCrea alleges
that she shot Garland to protect her
honor, it Is stated that the young
man was seated in a chair in her
room and that all three bullets en-
were alone at the time, there being
no eye-witnesses to testify at the
coroner's inquest. A verdict was
rendered that Garland's death was
caused by wounds inflicted at the
hands of Mrs. McCrea.
Mrs. McCrea has been placed in
Jail Her husband is with her. Ac-
cording to the sheriff, charge of
MI
Crea will have nothing to say further
than that she killed Garland to pro-
tect herself.
Young Garland was student and
a graduate Of Tulane University,
New Orleans. 1t is said that he was
a slave to his books and cared for
little else. Mrs. McCrea was fire.
quently left alone in her home be-
band away. On these occasions Gar
land was called upon to stay in the
McCrea residence as a protector to
Mrs. McCrea and the children.
To-day about 10 o'clock Mrs. Nc
Crea telephoned to the Garland
home and asked to borrow a spool Of
thread. 1t was sent to her by young
Garland. Garland lived with his
grandmother, widow Of the late
Henry l.. Garland.
Mystery Surrounds Tragedy.
Opelousas, La, Sept. 22.-Mystery
still surrounds the motive which
led to the killing of Alan r. Gar
land by Mrs. J. P. McCrea in a room
Of her home yesterday morning.
Other than to say that she killed
young Garland to protect her honor,
Mrs. McCreas lips are sealed, and
neither she nor her husband will
discuss any phase of the case. The
district attorney said to-day he
would fight any application for bail.
The defense has not yet outlined
any definite course Of action, but it
is strongly intimated that the "un-
written law" may play an important
part.
The body Of Garland was found
beside an upturned chair, and it is
said that the prosecution will con-
tend that Garland was shot from be-
hind as he sat in the chair.

Columbia, Sept. 21.--Senator Till
man spent to-day in Columbia on
personal business, passing most OF
the time with his friend, DR.. Bah
cock. He returned to his home at
Trenton on the afternoon train and
carried with him two real pitchforks
The Senator bought the pitchforks
uptown and had them sent down to
the Union station for him at train
time. They were wrapped up In
paper until they were unrecogniza-
BILE, and when he told Dr. Babcock
what was in the bundle the doctor in
sisted that they ought to be un-
wrapped and carried openly by the
Senator, 30 the paper was taken of
and Pitchfork Ben toted the two
pitchforks home on the train without
any concealment. Two Of the Sena-
tors friends, Congressman Lever
and r. I. Manning, happened to be
present and assisted in the opening
up of the characteristic package. 1t
was seen that the tines were tipped
with gold and the Senator was twit-
ted about hoistng the gold stand
ard, against which he used to pro-
claim eloquently in the days Of "1G
to l or bust"
Will BE in Race.
But the Senator is very much more
interested these days in pitchforks
agricultural than pitchforks politi-
cal. The news that there will be at
least one candidate to oppose him
for reelection, Col. w. j. Talbert.
does not seem to have disturbed him
at all. Senator Tillman expects to
stand for reelection. He also eX-
poets to make at least few
speeches. The Senator enjoys meet
ing the people, and only the strict
orders Of his physicians and of Mrs.
Tillman, who has always been his
chief adviser, have prevented him
from going around more this sum-
mer. 1t is his determination to offer
for fourth term IN the Senate. That
may be set down as certain.
His Fourth Term.
If Senator Tillman Is reelected, or
renominated in the 1912 primary, he
will on the 4th of March, 1918, be-
gin his fourth term as Senator from
South Carolina. Having served as
Governor from 1891 to 1895, he was
first elected to the Senate in 1894 to
succeed Gen. NJ. G. Butler, and took
his seat on the 4th of March, 1895.
He was reelected in 1900 and again
In 1906, both times without opposi-
ton. Col. Jasper w. Talbert, for
merly Congressman, has announced
he will be candidate for Senator
next year, no matter who else runs.
Governor Blease has announced that
he will be candidate for Senator if
Senator Tillman is not in the race;
otherwise he will seek reelection as
Governor.
