attempt was made on last
Saturday niirht In two nejrro men
to enter the house of the lvev
.Joshua Ihivis of Iotiiii section,
while Mr Davis was away from
home. There was no one in the!
house with Mrs Davis except a
little negro nurse. Soon after re
tiring, Mrs Du\ is heard twa tiles'
fighting in the yard, hut did not
get up. (hi healing voices in the
yard she asked who was there.
The replv w'as, 4'a friend." She !
then said if you can't give your
names you had better leave here
She di-tinctly saw a man standing
at the front door and another at
i lie rear of the house by the Move
loom. She told her nurse to raise
the window as ipiiekly as she could
and as soon as it was done, Mrs
Davis tired upon the fellow in the

'l lie vote I si st Saturday, which hvirtually
placed jute hugging on
the tree list, wn> a signal victory
for Senator Melaiurin.
In his speech last week he took *
up this paragraph and disclose<1 J
it> unfair and sectional features in :l
tlie following convincing manner: *
1 desire to call the attention-of v
the senator in charge of this hill v
I ...
to paragraph .'14 'J, and inquire why '
a duty lio impotcd on jute bagging
for covering cotton; \Vh.ilii.iii *
another paragraph binding twine';'
: is placed on the free list?
If such dis imination can he <l
defended, I am certain that s cli '
defense would he listened to with s
great attention. If such a policy s
can he justified hv any rule of
national legislation, its advocate!
.If
should hasten to make the dise?f>- t '
sure. To my mind it assumes the J
form of studied and pernicious1 '
sectionalism: of a deliberate a>id M
premeditated :iU"inpl to punish j 1
the i'otion phf.ter of the South '
and favor the grain grower of the l*
North and West. In mv opinion v
it admits .if uootlier construction. v
In fact, a earefu' \aniinal ion di< '
closes the ear mark of e tional, '
advantage running all tluwi di the
provisions of the hill, which '
should he a source of profound '
, . I
regret to c\ery one interested in

It was ti?i-i speech licit set some c
(if the fair-minded Republicans t?? I

theni votinir with the Democrats 4
to strike out this section. In fact '
it has hcen MrLaurins li-rht all d

tin* eoiiimittce of ways and means
in the house, he has persistently lf
and fearlessly denounced its sfjr- ?
tional features anil demanded j^s- it
tiee for the South. His ti|st tl
sjieceh in the house, which has tl
caused so much comment, was in <1
direct line with his last speechjin t'
the senate, and we venture ttfo*'*
prediction that neither will l>o a
answered. The Republican matin- K'
jrers recognized the strength of
. JtJ
his position and are now making;
concessions in order to keep in
