SOUTHERN JOBS FOR
SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS
Tafts Nominations May Not BE Con-
firmed in the Democratic States.

Washington, Dec. 12.-An amicahle
agreement in the senate over the
confirmation of President Taft's nomi-
nations for federal positions seemed
probable today when, after a number
of informal conferences among lead
ers a tentative plan was agreed upon.
Under the arrangement proposed no
nominations for federal Offices will be
confirmed in states where both sena-
tors are democrats, but in all states
where the senators are republicans
there is to be no opposition to CONFIRM
alton Of these places. 1t is understood
that many democratic leaders in the
senate would be satisfied If the ap-
pointments in Southern states were not
put through.
An effort is being made to settle the
question Of president pro tenn. Of the
senate by the selection of Senator
Gallinger to serve until March 4. Sen
ator Bacon would become permanent
hresiding Judge in the Archibald i'm
sphachment trial.

The mother ordered the policeman
off the premises and when he refused
to go she attacked him vigorously.
Although Mrs. Manning is 60 years
old, the policeman says she struck him
so hard it made him see stars. The
officer made no effort to defend him
self, but backed discreetly out of the
house as best he could, with face bad
ly scratched and nose bloodied.

COURT WILL
CLOSE HERE
VERY SOON
HAS BEEN A LONG SESSION
No More Jury Cases to Be
Heard

The case of B. B. Ford & Co., for
the use of the Standard Marine In
surance Co, on trial in Sumter sr-
perior court for two days, reached a
conclusion yesterday afternoon in a
verdict for the defendant, the Atlantic
Compress Co, against which the plain
tiff had brought suit for the recovery
of a considerable amount. The suit,
as stated yesterday, grew out of the
burning Of the Americus compress four
or five years ago, wherein the plaintiff
sustained a loss in the burning of
several hundred bales of cotton Plain
tiffs alleged that adequate protection
against fire had not been afforded. The
jury was out but short while, rem
dering verdict in favor of the At
lantic Compress Co.
While Judge 2. A. Littlejohn has
not formally adjourned the superior
court session, it is quite probable that
the case on trial yesterday will vir-
tually end the term, so far as the trial
of jury cases is concerned. The few
cases upon the docket will not war
rant the continuance of the session an
other week
The court has been in session a lit
tie more than two weeks and both the
civil and criminal dockets have been
cleared of all important cases ready
for trial.

FUMES FROM TONS

Proved Too Much For Chi.
CGgO FirCmGn

Chicago, December 12.-Onions we're
cooked by the ton when three-story
warehouse filled with them caught fire
and blazed up rapidly a few doors
from a hospital last night. The hos
pital officials requested the firemen not
to sound their gongs or make unneces-
sary noises and the fire chiefs com
municated with their lieutenants and
sent notes to the pipe men.
The Silent fire fight was IoIled, how
ever, by the powerful odor of the
cooking onions which pervaded the
ius. Several fremen were overcome
by stoke and one pipe crew after an
other was put out of action by the
tear-compelling power of the raw
onions on the lower floors.

ENTHUSIASTS
MAINTAINED
FOR LEAGUE
IN SPITE OF MANY DELAYS
Many Cities Are Already Or
ganiziDg

Although the date of the meeting {,
be held here by the moguls of the
proposed Empire State League has not
yet been determined with definiteness,
neither the approaching holidays no-
the cold weather is able to stamp out
tie enthusiasm that is rampant in most
of the cities of the league over the
prospects.
No letter has yet been received
from Chairman Sinclair, of the tenn
porary organization recently affected
in Waycross, but it is expected that
some message from him will be receiv.
ed today or very soon. In the mean
time most of the cities that will be
in the league have already partly or
ganized their teams. Several of the
cities have even chosen managers, so
that the organization in Americus is
far behind that of most of the cities.
One thing that seems to be holding
back the organization is the determine
ing how many cities will be in the
league. This is a difficult matter to
settle. The effort is being made -
get Albany to come into the league,
but no definite results have been Sc
cured in this particular. The meeting
of the directors of the South Atlantic
league does not occur until January,
SO it will probably be in the New
Year before the matter of how large
the league is to be will be determined.
