dently to await the rising of the sun.
1t Is necessary that they should wait
until the first shaft of light strikes

stone In the center, when their cere-
mony can begin.
As the sun slowly rose over the
great plain Of Salisbury the weirdly
clad priests Of the order rose, too,
and proceeded to walk solemnly round
each OF the giant stones bowling low
before each and chanting the invoca-
ton OF praise to the sun. When they
reached the altar stone the chanting
ceased and the chief priest or mes
senger stood forward and in stento-
rian tones asked:
Brethren, know ye why we are
gathered into this sacred meet
ing?"
To which the worshipers solemnly
made reply together:
ITO proclaim our recognition of
the power of Allah, the universal ma
iesty and love infinite. according to
the commands of the sacred five. the
great souls and angel messengers of |
Allah to the sons of men,"

The Democrats Of the why's and

OF the Payne law. The bill will be in

1t is expected that the bill will pass

Democrats Of the Ways and Means
committee, at special, session yesterday,
decided there is nothing to Justify a
change in the report of the tariff board
on the cotton industry. Mr.. Underwood
was instructed to reintroduce the old

stand by their former revision.
A meeting of the full membership of
the Ways and Means Committee will
be held tomorrow. when II is expected
that the Democrats will vote solidly for
the report OF the cotton bill while the
Republicans, undoubtedly, will vote
against 1t. Congressman Hill of Con-

which he will assert is in accordance
