J UPPER HOUSE CONTINUES FILIBUSTER Senator Black Says Affair Ls Disgraceful and That He is Very Sorry to Witness It? Education Bill is Cause of Trouble. Columbia, Feb. 22.?Filibustering continued in the senate 4-u:~ * uu* morning in connection with 1 Lawson-McCravey compul-1 sory education bill. "I am sorry to see this in the senate," Said Senator Black. "We are Jftot children. 1 have been coming here a long time, and I have never seen anything like it." Senator Black is a very conservative member. Senator Clifton, who has been a leader in the filibustering, moved to take from the table Senator Laney's motion of last night to adjourn until Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. The Clifton motion was lost by a vote of 18 to 15. A motion by Senator Young stated that just as sure as the filibustering kept up he would see that no legislation would get through during the remainder of the session. He stated that to go into another legislative day with a number of senators gone home would not be "square." ADJOURNS TILL TUESDAY NIGHT. The senate adjourned at 12:30 until Tuesday night at 8 o'clock, after Senator Laney had spoken for an hour on both sides of the question at issue, 'possum dogs, the old blue back ^fcpeller and the old swimming J^/iole, and after Senator Williams had delivered a 25-minute oration on George Washington and on Senator Clifton as a filibusterer. "I wanted to go home today, but they wouldn't let me," Senator Laney said in explaining the prolonged speech, which included among other things a reading of the bill, in nrHor tn L-.11 L'- 1? ' k V4\?v& vw rvin time. oenatur Laney thought the Lawson-McCravey bill ought to be amend-! ed to supply books to those chil- ' dren who could not afford them. Senator Williams offered an amendment which would put the children on a diet of hominy so that they would be properly ^.tted for study. Roth senators ^l-nposed the bill and were opposed to the senate's transacting any business in the absence of a number of senators who ^ went home last night, with the understanding that the body would adjourn until Tuesday. | Senator Williams moved to adjourn at the instance of Senator Lide, who had made a poll of the senators, who were scattered all over the place behind newspapers and in the finance committee room, where the members of the finance committee gave their time to the consideration of the important bills which have yet to be disposed of this session. HOUSE HAS ALSO RECESSED. The house will not be in ses- 1 sion again until next Wednesday night, having adjourned last night, with the consent of the senate?that being necessary?for the five days. There ( was nothing for the house today ' nor had been for two days, and, j as the senate will not be prepared to take up the appropria- tion bill until Wednesday, there j' was no use in its holding a session. This state of affairs be- < ing represented to the senate.1 that body consented to the house receding from business until Wednesday night. It is J" probable that when the house < convenes again the two bodies j will have enough to engage ^ them to carry the session j through Friday or Saturday of I r next week, one week beyond the i time of adjournment that had j been calculated upon. m To Decorate a Bald Head. / ? "My husband." writes Mrs. J Fozozzle to The Chaperon, "was I quite bald when 1 married him, 1 although otherwise perfectly s good. I first washed his head j with a cleansing solution and a ! i stilF brush; then I sandpapered ( it, starting with the rough pa-11 per and using each grade down to the finest. After that I rub- t bed it at intervals with my bare c ^ hand for several days and now e *wit is lovely. It has all the dull, a rich finish so much admired, c and the natural grain shows v beautifully." ii DID NOT CONSULT HIM SO ORDERS ELECTION Governor Blease Springs Another Sensation by Fixing a Date For General Election of Congressman Ahead of the Primary. Columbia Special to Charlotte Observer, Feb. 23: Governor Blease sprang another sensation here by ordering the general election to be held in the first district to select a Congressman to succeed the late 1 O T A * 1 vieur&u o. l^egare on April Z\), nearly one month in advance of the date set by the Democratic state committee, May 27, for the primary to select the Democratic nominee in that district to be voted for in the general election. The governor gave as a reason for his action that the state committee when it m? ' 'iday to set the date for the tary did not consult him and because he announced some time ago that he was going to order the general election in April. There are six candidates for the vacancy and two primaries will doubtless be necessary to make a selection. btate Uhairman John Gary Evans when informed of the Governor's action said he did not know what would be done by the state committee. Of course the general election being one month before the date for the primary will cause that primary plan to be abandoned. There is some talk of holding a convention to nominate a candidate to be voted for by the Democrats in the election but this plan has not yet taken shape. The first district is composed of the counties of Charleston, Clarendon, Colleton, Dorchester and Berkeley. DAMAGE ABOUT $1,000,000. Investigation to Determine Origin of Columbus Fire. Columbus, Ga., Feb. 23.? Flames, which caused a property damage of approximately $1,000,000, were still burning here late today, but were entirely under control. No further damage to property is expected.

Inadequacy of water supply interfered with the efforts of firemen to control the fire and the | compress company's estalishment, the Columbus Barrel Company's factory and some other property of lesser value was destroyed before the flames were controlled. i Exact figures concerning the losses will not be available for several days. Cotton stored in the compress company's plant will, however, approximate 11,000 bales. The compress company is the heaviest loser, with the barrel company next. Authorities have commenced an investigation to determine whether the fire was of incendiary origin. Prior to the fire, which started at 10 o'clock last ( night, the fire department was called to the compress company's establishment twice and extinguished flames. The company recently discharged some negro employees. i Insurance carried by owners :>f the burned property will partially cover the loss, it was stated today.

Edison's recent invention, he kinetophone, which is a ombination of motion pictures nd the phonograph, had its rst public demonstration yeserday afternoon on the stages f four different theaters, Proc:>r's Fifth Avenue, B. F. Keith's Jnion Square, the Colonial and he Alhambra. The kinetophone is a mahine which provides for perect synchronism of voice with ction; it makes moving picnres and sounds from a phonoraph jibe. While the invenion has been perfected, only a mited number of subjects have [) far been taken. At the four I heaters yesterday only two j eels were shown. The first motion picture | hown this week is in the na- I are of a description of the in ention. A man's figure i.i hotograph on the screen describes through the phonograph he workings of the invention nd demonstrates the perfect ynchronism of sound and acion. Dogs called before the Eimera bark at the proper ime; a falling plate smashes ot a second too late and "The .ast Rose of Summer," sung rith a violin obligato and piano ccompaniment, indicates the erfection of the invention. The audionrp nt ? ~ V? V X- 1 Wtu I ^ ifth Avenue theater yesterday fternoon was clearly pleased nd surprised with the new movies," and so far forgot itelf as to applaud after the song nd before the picture was fin;hed. It was unfortunate that the econd and last reel did not inicate more action. If depicted n old fashioned minstrel show, he solos and choruses went plendidly with the action, but ave the audience no opportUity to judge just what the efict would be when a modern lotion picture play was prouced.

' I Rug Reasons Only a few years ago rugs were not commonly used and naturally there are reasons for their rapidly increasing popularity. In the first place, when you buy a rug you know just how the complete pattern appears. Then, the designs are the most beautiful of all floor coverings, because the master designers of the world have been working on them for centuries, and the designs of a rug take in the whole floor coverings instead of a small pattern as is necessary in matching a carpet. Another thing, there is no troublesome matching or fitting and no work in putting them down. When you want to take them up it is done in an instant, so you can clean them as often as desired instead of once or twice a year. Besides, when one part of a rug becomes worn it is a simple matter to change it around and thus get the full amount of service out of it. When you move or want to change them from one room to another they always fit.
