 The Beedeville cotton gin is now completed and running in full blast. R. c.

 A. J. Mead, Albert Hite and w. w. Beede were busy the 18th viewing out a new public road from Eight Mile to Algoa, thence west to the Bowen'sI Ridge road.

Democrats VIII Settle QueS-

FARM AGAINST THE TOWN
Not to Let Republicans Make Capital
Out of Tussle-Senator Dilling-

Washington, May 23.-The forthcom-
middle west and far western Democrats,
ing caucus of the Democrats of the
House to be held within the next ten
days or fortnight-th date is yet to
be announced--wilI precipitate the old
! fight for free raw material which so
often has been the issue between eastern
and western Democrats. New York,
New Jersey and Massachusetts, viii lead
the fray in behalf of free wool The
backed by the great Texas delegation
and scattering other southern dclega-
tions, will urge revenue duty on raw
wool, and around this the battle will
rage.
Indications now are that the revenue
tariff will come into the caucus with
the prestige of support OF majority
OF the Democrats of the ways and
means committee. II is said by friends
of William j. Bryan that his backing
will be given to the ways and means
report. Representatives of districts in
the East wherein manufactures of all
kinds of woollen goods thrive will OPP
pose to the last the placing of any duty
on wool
1t will be another instance OF the
farm as against the town, just as was
the case when the Republicans brought
in reciprocity at the last session, with
this material difference. that the ways
and means committee, being responsible
under the constitution for originating
means of raising the funds for the sup
port of the government, will present
important arguments of fiscal and econ
omic character in support of its policy.
Ii is declared that there is no pride
of authorship in this policy that it is
not the Underwood plan or the Clark
plan, but Is the Judgment OF the
thoughtful and experienced men on the
committee who are charged with the
duty OF taking broad and comprehen-
sive view of economic questions.
Opposed to their counsel, however, is
a very militant and numerically strong
element in the membership intent upon
wiping ont entirely the duty on man

Wells of Burning Water.

In the vicinity OF Hooper there are
a Number of wells which, while giving
an ample supply of water, are also gas
bearing One well discharges 70 gal.
Ions OF water minute and is highly
charged with gas This well Is equipped
with a device for separating the gas
from the water and storing it, repro
duetion in miniature Of municipal gas
storage tank. In this way the well az
fords sufficient volume of gas for a
cook stove and one gas jet On another
ranch in the vicinity may be seen the
unique sight of burning water-that is,
well flowing 20 to % gallons OF water
minute yielding gas. The escaping
gas forms frothy foam, which stands
6 inches above the surface of the water
and burns with bright yellow fame 2
feet high. The amount of gas would
apparently be ample to run a heating
or cooking stove or several gas let's
On still another ranch, before the gas
from the well was piped off, it caused
a geyserlike intermittent flow, which at
intervals of an hour, forced the water
to the top of the derrick, 80 feet high
Later the interval heightened TO four or
six hours, and mud and water were
thrown to height OF 60 and rs feet.
The rise and fall OF the column was
gradual. When the foam was ignited
at the bottom the flame would run to
the top of the column and fireballs would
drop down the side and reignite the
foam at the bottom, the flame mount
ing the column again.
