U. S. SENATORS "
BY DIRECT VOTE
RuCker Measure Passes House
by Large Majority.
VOTE STOOD 296 TO IS

This Is the First of tho Democratic
Program Measures Passed by the
House--Many Republicans Support
Measure
A Washington dispatch says: The
house, for the fifth time, has gone on
record in favor of the election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people.
Four times the measure has been
before the senate and failed. The vote
in the house was 296 to 16, Mr.. Nc
Dermott, of Chicago, being the only
democrat to vote against it.
Special Elections for Vacancies.
The Rucker resolution not only pro-
vides for elections for full terms, but
for calling special elections to fill I'M
expired terms. If this were the Ian
guage of the federal constitution to-
day an election for senator in Georgia
would have to be held and the people
be given an opportunity to record
their choice.
The fight ranged around the
amendment of Mr.. Young, which was
identical with the question raised in
the senate at the last session by Sen
ator Sutherland. This amendment
would have denied to the states the
right to prescribe the manner of hold
ing elections and the qualifications Of
electors. Southern members opposed
this. This amendment was defeated
in the house by vote of 1876 to 112.
That out of the way, all but sixteen
members came to the support of the
main proposition.
This is the first of the democratic
program measure passed by the house.
The resolution, as the house APPROX
ed IL, is in the form of the Borah res
olution reported out of the senate ju-
dietary committee in the closing days
of the last congress.
No Federal Control.
Republican opposition to the Rucker
resolution in the house was based on
the fact that it did not contain the
changes afterwards made in the fight
in the senate, which assured to con-
gress control over elections in the
senate.

WAS FOUND DEAD.
Dlaz Believed to Have Died BY His
Own Hand.


In desolate spot near Rock creek,
between Tampa and Green Springs,
Aquillo Diaz, brother of Andres Diaz,
prominent cigar manufacturer, of
New York and Tampa, was found dy-
ing by party of Automobiles
among whom was Major Douglas Con-
nelly, president of the Bank of Tarpon
Springs. Diaz had been shot through
the right temple. An automatic Colts
revolver was found few inches from
the right hand. His coat was neatly
folded under his head. He was car
ried to Tampa and placed in the SAM
tarium of the Centre Asturiano So
ciety, of which he was member,
where he died. 1t is believed that
Diaz committed suicide. Mr.. Turner,
Of the Selig Moving Picture company,
with Major Conolley, expert on pos
lures, says it is impossible that he
was shot by an assassin and placed
In that position.
His purse and other valuables were
not disturbed, among which was an
accident policy and a deputy sheriff
commission.

GOOD AND EVIL

The best gifts. those that we
should covet above all others if we
understood their value, are not
those which may or may not chance
to come to us. but those which must
inevitably follow us when we are
good and true, faithful and wise.
The worst calamihes are not those
whichmay come upon us unawares,
but those which follow from con-
scious wrongdoing.

best places in the county for a stock
Or dairy farm. considering the fact
that it is only a little over a mile from
Macon, and that it possesses natural ad-

Switch-cane furnishes green feed for
stock in winter. Could be made to pay

ing them on it. According to leYel run,
an Overlooking well can be had.
Properly handled it's value can be in
creased SO per cent in a year orso. Prob
ably wood enough On the wood land to
pay for it, besides several hundred dol
lars worth of timber.
This place is as good as can be had for
diversified farming, being sandy loan

rich enoughto suit anybody. The sandy
loan land is especially fine for peanuts,
peas, sweet potatoes. Irish potatoes
Louisiana cane, etc. tits heavy bodit d

built up. The alluvial soil makes corr
and cotton as good as any in the country.
The whole place is nearly level, or roll

ing.
With the boil weevil coming. and pos.
sibly the army worm to contend with,
the place will make a valuable one tt

Capt. Maughs Brown and first Lieut..
Minor Dent, of the Noxubee Rifles. M
N. g., returned last week from Camp
Perry, or Lake Erie, near Toledo. Ohio.
Before going to Camp Perry they spent
about two weeks at Vicksburg, where
the State Encampment was held. The
team, said Capt. Brown, did very well
up to the time it entered the skirmish
shoot, and then it lost its nerve and
everything else went to pieces beyond
any hope of showing for any of the
prizes. They said further that condi-
tiJns at Vicksburg were very different
from what they were in Camp Perry,
which is situated on Lake Erie, and be-
ing windy most of the time. the men
from other states where they do not
practice under such conditions find it
extremely difficult to adjust themselves
in the few days that they remain there.
The weather was very good up to the
last day of the shoot. when there vas a
drizzling rain and a mean gusty wind of
forty miles an hour. This played havoc
with the Mississippi score.
