BRUIN DELAYED THE TRAIN.
Big Bear Drops OH Top Of Coach and
Trouble Follows.

Chesterfield, Nov. 17.-One of the
unlocked for amusements in connec-
ton with the Chesterfield County
Fair. which has just closed with such
success. was the detention of the af-
ternoon train for Cheraw in a unique
manner There was exhibiting here
at the Fair what is known as o Bear
Man. viz. a big brown bear, which
was shown by his swarthy keeper. The
Fair grounds are just across the street
from the station of the c. and L.,
which railroad occupies the centre Of
the street. Just before the arrival of
the train the keeper of bruin, for q
cash consideration, had him to climb
large elm tree, which has q limb
which projects over the railroad track.
When the train arrived somewhat be-
hind time and with several passengers
anxious to make the Coast Line con-
nections In Cheraw. Bruin became
frightened at his high perch and pro-
ceeded out on the limb, from which
he dropped to the top Of the coach.
Now the problem was before the rail-
road as to whose duty it was to re-
move the bear. The station agent
protested that it was out of his line of
duty. as did the conductor. Finally,
after much delay and a general eau
cas-. several pieces of timber were
run over to the cars on the siding
next to the cotton platform and Bruin
was persuaded to transfer his perch,
from which place he was led on down
on the cotton bales and on to the
ground.

Wives Of Members OF Congress VS..

Washington. Nov. 16.-Feel,ng be-
tween the wives OF the members Of
the house Of representatives and the
wives of the cabinet members has be-
come so bitter that a serious situa-
ton exists-so serious, in fact, that
1t has aroused the anxiety of the ad-
ministration leaders. including Presi-
dent Wilson himself.
The trouble has been brewing ev-
er since the wives of the members of
Mr.. Wilson's cabinet announced last
May that on account Of the great
number of members of the house they
had decided not to call on the wives
or the representatives. Senator's
wives were not included in this
ban" That made it worse; and SO
did the refusal Of Mrs. Marshall, wife
OF the Vice President, to omit the
congressional calls. Mrs. Marshall
called on every congressional Mrs
before her husband had been much
more than six months i'm office.
Indignation in the Texas deleea-
ton in the house became acute re-

Manning, Nov. 17.-Pursuant to
plans previously announced the boys
corn club exhibit was held in the
court house on Saturday. While
there were not as many individual ex-
hibits as on former occasions the
duality OF the samples shown evinced
that the boys had profited by the les
sons taught in the former contest.
Ten-ear exhibits were made by the
following: Willie Holiday, Wilson;
Francis Castine, Turbeville; Dick
Reese, Alcolu; Hugh Kelly, Manning;
Kirkland Corbett, Paxville; Clarence

Miss Pauline Hodge, Manning.
The prize for the best written his
tory Of how his crop was grown was
won by Clarence Dinkins Of the Trim
ity section. This prize is a sold
medal and is held until some one
wrests it from the winner by produc-
ing a better written account at some
subsequent contest. The honor of
having carried off this prize for the
preceding two years belong to Willie
Young of the Alcolu section. Both
these boys are pupils Of the Trinity
rural graded school.
The prize for the greatest yield was
also won by Clarence Dinkins, con-
sisting of SIS pair Of shoes, given by
j. II. Rigby. The yield as reported
was 1913 bushels. The second greatest
yield was credited to Thomas j.

ADJOURN FOR THANKSGIVING.
SENATE MAY WORK CURRENCY

Without Consent of Prcsident-Nr
Wilson Anxious to Have Congress
i'm Session i'm Event of Emergency
i'm Mexican Situation.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Definite
agreement today by both the admin
istration and the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
wings Of the senate banking and cur
rency committee to complete their
drafts of the currency bill and submit
them to the senate by Thursday was
followed by general talk at the capitol
Of an adjournment Of congress over
Thanksgiving.
Informal discussion of the adjourn
ment on both sides of the capitol,
however, failed to take any definite
shape. No adjournment will be TAX
en- without the consent of the presi-
dent and he has not yet made known
his views. In the senate it was believ-
ed the president might agree To a
brief recess, although it has been
known that he desired to have con-
gress in session in the event Of emer-
gencies arising in the Mexican situa-
ton.
Saturday, Monday and Tuesday
have been suggested as possible dates
for adjournment in conference of
house and senate leaders.
Majority Leader Underwood, due to
return from his senatorial campaign
in Alabama on Thursday, is expected
to take up this question with Presi-
dent Wilson.
Both wings Of the senate commit
tee continued work on their bills to-
day. The six administration Demo-
consider the advisability Of altering
the provision in the Glass Owen bill
for shifting the reserves CT the coun-
try from the present depositaries to
the new regional reserve banks. 1t
has been suggested that the provision
might make too great a demand on
the banking resources of the country
and result in the calling of loans and
consequently stringency.
The Democrats reached no definite
| agreement, but Chairman Owen
agreed to tabulate the figures avail
able on the subject and present them
to the committee tomorrow.
Senator Hitchcock and the Republi-
cans continued to write their draft of
the bill. They increased the gold re-
serve to be held against the new cur
rency to As per cent and provide that
when the reserve fell below that point
it would be taxed on a graduated scale
down to the minimum of 80 per cent.
The bond refunding section was COM
pletely changed. AS amended it would
provide that each regional bank
should each year invest SO per cent of
it's available capital in the 2 per cent
bonds at par, which are the basis of
the present bank notes.
The regional banks would then be
allowed to exchange the per cent
bonds for per cent one-year govern
ment notes, agreeing to renew the
notes for twenty years. These notes
would be available for use in foreign
markets to secure gold to maintain
the reserve.
The Republicans also made numer-
Gus amendments correcting what they
regarded as discrepancies in the bill
and making the later sections con-
form to amendments already adopted.
