A Disgraceful Affair.
Two Legislators Fight at the
Closing of the Session?
They are Said to have been
"Fortified against the Cold
Wave" and were Therefore
in no Fix for Effective
Fighting.
Columbia special to Augusta
Chronicle:
The tension between the two
houses of the general assembly
over tlie dispensary situation was
not entirely tree from a mark of
violence after all. The incident,
though lor a time it looked as if
it would result seriously, passed
oil linaliy without attracting
much attention in the city. In
fact it was traceable more to the
direct internal application of the
dispensary than to any psychological
condition brought .about by
warring opinion as to how the
whiskey problem should be solved
for the commonwealth at large.
It was almost a case ot spontaneous
combustion. The clash was
in the nature ol a fist light in the
main lobby under the dome skylight
in Irontof the library doors
between a senator and a member

2 o'clock Sunday morning,
(though (fie legislative clock was
standing dutifully at a lew minutes
lo midnight as a result of
(lie sergeant at-arms' frequent
application of his long pole to the
hands ) Both were a bit ''woozv"
and therefore not entirely responsible,
as was the condition
ot a number of oilier members
who had taken bracers against
the cold wave while waiting to
ratily ihe last batch of acts.
There had been more or less
loud talking, stumbling rouml
and bragging about the relative
astuteness and wisdom of the
two houses, when the senator
applied a vile epithet to the
member of the house, who
promptly knocked him down.
The representative is tall and
powerful, but he is not fro
queutly placid and dignified; in
fact his feelings are easily and
profoundly stirred either by his
own oratory or that of other
members of the house. The
senator had not finished his insult
when the representative's
long arm shot out and his fi t
cut under the senator's nose
with the impressive force of a
locomotive driving rod. Hut t lie
senator's friends did not have to
pick him up; he was on his leet
in a jifly lunging al the tall one,
who was prancing about with a
dozen members swinging to him
They were dragged apart, but
they could not bo quieted until
they h id boon taken out of each
other's view.
After l heir friends had labored
with them about an hour,
pacifying them and pumping
them lull of advice and patriot
ism and other things the belli
gerents were brought together
again for a peace conference.
Hut it would have taken u ore
than a Roosevelt to get 'ho e
two together. The negotiations
had hardly opened betore the
senator punched the representative
in the nose, hopping up to
get to him. That dreadful long
arm went out again and the
spiki or caught e 1 loo1' from
his mouth mi (1 11 s i j Jus hand.

But tvey are both good and
