that Senator Terrell's special appoint

their friends that when the roll is
called up yonder at the state capitol
they will be there. Here they are:
Murphey Gambler, state railroad
commissioner, first cousin to Bishop
Warren G. Gambler and Asa G. Cand-
Ter, is considerably talked of.
Congressman T. w Hardwick wants
it. His announcement is confidently
predicted by his friends.
Congressman w. G. Brantley is
widely reported as having the bee in

is the only political sound he can lis

Hon. w. A. Covington, of Moultrie,

Alarm is Sounded and Passage Of
Laws That viii Bar Them From

Action is Deemed Necessary.

New York, January 10-A great
host of accomplished European Grim
inals and anarchists is soon coming to
this country to join the thugs, yegg-
men and black handlers who already
enjoy American hospitality, according
to Andrew D. White, former president
of Cornell University, and ex-minister
to Russia and Germany.
In statement to the press DR..
White urges the passage of laws to bar
from the United States a flood of un-
deSirables who he declares will hasten
thither as soon as England expels
them He says:
THE assassin and anarchist, whom
London plans to be we'll rid of soon,
have an admirable refuge in the
United States-a country lying wide
open to them in which they will find
more companions, sympathizers and
effective helpers than in any other on
earth.
"Our nation affords them the hap
piest of happy hunting grounds. Events
in New York, Chicago and other cities
prove this.
This nation, with it's carelessness
in admitting foreign criminals, its in
effective ways of dealing with them,
and its facilities for clearing them of
guilt is more and more attractive for
them every day
In the United States the number
of murders during the year just closed
was eight thousand, nine hundred and
seVenty-five, an increase of 900 over
the year preceding. Only one murderer
in eightysix was hanged The num-
Der of murders in the United States
Is to the number in England as one
hundred and fourteen to six.

statement was made that our admin
istration of criminal justice as re-
CARDS murder has become a farce"

In the Election Of Senators
Hereafter.
Senate Committee Makes Report In
Favor Of The Election Of United
States Senate By the People, Sen
ate May Down the Plan.

Washington, d. c., January 10-+At
a meeting of the Senate Judiciary COM
mittee held last night a decision was
report favorably the sub
committee resolution authorizing ali
amendment TO the constitution provid-
ing for the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people
The controversy in the committee
turned on the question as to whether
the state or federal government should
supervise the elections. The commit
tees provision directs that ''the times,
places and manner of holding elections
shall be prescribed in each state by
the legislature thereof" e.. -.
Senators Depew and Nelson both
offered amendments giving congress
the power to regulate, but the South
eIn senator's opposed these provisions
as most prejudicial to the interests of
their constituents, some of them going
so far as to assert that the measure
would be more obnoxious than the
force bill of the early nineties.
The two amendments We're voted
down
While greatly encouraged over the
progress made, the advocates of tho
change are by no means sanguine Of
immediate success.
There is strong opposition in the
senate to the provision and there will
be little difficulty in preventing action
during the present session. The meas
ure will die with this congress, SC
that it seems probable that it will be
necessary to travel the road again
