IJAHT LAP OP 62D CONGRESS. Democrat? '.Viii Busy Themselves Preparing for Tariff Reforms. Washington, Jan. 2.-The last lap of the third and last session of thc Sixty-second Congress began to-day at noon. The Congress will die on March 4, Immediately following the inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson. The new Congress will be Democratic in both Houses for tho Ii nt time in sixteen years. Vhlle much important legislation is pending in the Sixty-second Con gress, it is not likely that much of lt will be passed. Tho session will be devoted almost entirely to the passage of appropriation bills. The Senate will resumo the Arch bold impeachment trial to-morrow, and the Democrats will continue to resist the conilrmation of any of President Taft's appointments. The House adjourned until to-mor row In respect to the memory of tho late Representative John G. Mc Henry, of Pennsylvania. Leader Underwood and his colleagues, how ever, put in the day planning the tar iff revision work. Hailey Speaks. Senator Joseph W. Bailey to-day sang Iiis swan song in the United State's Senate. He attacked the ini tiative and referendum as in conflict with representative government and calculated to destroy the public. Bailey was heard hy thc largest and most represe! nal ive audience that bas gathered at 111 - * capital al this session. Tho galleries were ero wiled with fashionably dressed women and men. Practically every Senator was in his teat and many prominent members came over from tho house to bear Hailey. The progressive element was represented by Victor .Murdock, Judge Norris, Congressmen Cooper and Davis, of Minnesota, while Ex Speaker Cannon, Cicero Payne and John Dalzell were there as stand patters. Peculiar interest attached to Bai ley's speech, as it was the under standing that bis climax would come with tho tendering of his resignation as a Senator of the United States. Incidentally he was expected to dis cuss what he calls "Cowardice in Congress" and in this connection not only pay his respects to the progres sives of both parties in Congress, but to include William J. Bryan and . . i king ho .'tina wido advertisement, thereby assur ing crowded galleries, but to make doubly certain that ho would have an audience, Balley selected that day of the re-convening of Congress, knowing that the halls would bo crowded ont of mere curiosity. Bailey was not in his seat when the Senate met. His chair was" va cant until 12 o'clock, when his ap pearance caused a whisper to pass around the galleries. He had timed himself ) that he would bold the center of the stage from the second he appeared. He was recognized by the chair just one minute after he reached the chamber and before he look his seat. "I am a Democrat," said Senator Bailey, "and though I did not favor his selection, no man living hopes moro for the success of his adminis tration than I do." The Texan declared that no more thorough presentation of tho charac ter of representative government ever had been made than in Prof. Wilson's books. "The wonder to me," he sa'd. " is how any man could have understood the necessity and controlling force of council and discussion without having actually been a part of a great deliberative assembly." Mr. Bailey said tho advocates of the direct form of government de clare they are not working for the overthrow of this government. "They are mistaken," he said, "in the belief that they can establish a direct form of government without overthrowing the whole structure of representativo government." Senator Hailey charged that the newspapers were largely responsible for the "unrest." "I have become convinced," be said, "that the present great popular unrest had Its beginning In what was Intended as mero idle gossip." Newspapers, ho said, began pub lishing lists of "millionaire Sena tors," apparently only because they wanted "something to write," and the demand for such matter became instant. Senator Hailey said it' any one "wanted to organize a syndicate to buy him out," he would be very glad to have them offer less than half a million. "And after the papers had gotten need to calling tho Senate a million aires' club," ho said, "they began at tacking individual Senators, demand ing to know where they got the mil lions which they did not have." Senator Bailey said he overheard a Washington man point out the Sen EVANOKLI8M AND STEWARDSHIP Presbyterian Church In United K?ltes Pimm Work for 1013-14.

There being no election next year to distract atteniton, South Carolina might profitably act on the advice of tbe late Senator Ingalls to raise more mogs and less hell. ate office building and say: " 'That's where those old fellows rip up their jobs, drink their cham pagne and get drunk as lords.' " "That's the kind of reputation the representatives of the American peo ple are given, and usually with no better foundation," said Senator Balley. "Tho proposal to chango the form of government," said Senator Bailey, "was based on the principle that the Senators and Representatives of the government were hishonesl and could i ot be trusted. 'The curse of the timo ?B that we an- appealing to ignorance and pre judice," he said. "We are teaching tho rich that the poor are their nat ural enemy and teaching the poor that tho rich are their natural op pressors." He added that he did not believe "all the rich were rascals nor that all the poor wore patriots," but con tended that the percentage "ran about the samo in both classes.'' CATTLE FEUDING AT < LEMHON.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-The number of lesal executions in the United States in iQ12 shows a large increase u? compared with those of the last few years, being 145, as compared with 74 in 1911, 104 in 1910, 107 in 1909, and 92 in 1908. One hundred and thirty-nine were put to death for murder, four for assailing wo men, one for attempting to do so, and one for burglary. These figures were compiled by the Chicago Tribune. The number of lynchings In 1912 shows a gratifying decrease, and ls the smallest since tbeBe records were begun, In 1884, being 54, as com pared with 71 in 1911. The num ber of lynchings in the various States was as follows: Alabama . 8 Arkansas . 3 Florida. 5 Georgia .ll Louisiana. 8 Mississippi . 6 Montana . 1 North Carolina . 1 Xorth Dakota . 1 Oregon . 1 Oklahoma. 1 Sou til Carolina . 7 Tennessee . 5 Texas . :< Virginia . I West Virginia . I Wyoming . 1 Cases ol' race rioting or killing by posses are nol included in the above. Of the total number GO were blacks and four whites, three ot* thc former being women. Number of Suicides Increase. The record ol" suicides shows an Increase, the number for 1912 being 12,981. as compared with 12,242 in 1911. The proportion of suicides, as between men and women remains about the same, being 7,f>'"2 males, and 5,349 females. Physicians, as usual, head the list among profes sional men, the number being 40, as compared with 27 in 1911. Clergy men come next, 8 having taken their own lives. It is a curious fact that few lawyers are guilty of suicide. Among business men 14 bankers have made way with themselves. The causes of suicide were as fol lows: Despondency, 6,321; unknown, 1,382; iusanity, 1,072; domestic in felicity, i 220; iii health, 1,002; business losses 92; liquor ill; dla # . i . . .tjne.it in !o\ a, a i'1. The rnelaiiohol.v feature of these statlstd i la thc constantly increasing number of those who were impelled to commit suicide because of ill health. Of the total number, 4,184 shot themselves, 3,926 took poison, 2,722 hanged themselves, 852 drowned themselves, 148 cut their throats, 890 asphyxiated themselves, 58 threw themselves in front of rail road trains and 163 from roofs or windows, 82 stabbed themselves, 21 burned themselves, 15 blew them selves up with dynamite, and 6 starved themselves. 125 Airmen Lost Their Lives. One of the saddest features of the disasters of the year is the large in crease in the number of aviators who have sacrificed their lives in tho at tempted solution of the problem of safely navigating the air. In 1908, one man killed; in 1909, four; In 1910, 33; in 1911, 99; in 1912, 125; making a total of 288 in the four years since ari-flylng was at tempted. Things You Can't Sent By Parcels. Atlanta, Jan. 3.-Among the few things which you cannot send through parcels post., are rattle snakes, dynamite and limburger cheese. Such things as butter, cabbages, brickbats, noodles and other harm less, inanimate objects will be wel comed by the postal authorities, if properly packed and tagged. Here is the way Uncle Sam lists the things that cannot be sent by parcels post: Whiskey, wine, beer, poisonous an imals or insects, live poultry, in flammable material, pistols, guano, or other odorous substance. However, comparisons will be ex cepted In the last named category, and may be sent when intrinsically inoffensive. Among tho things which you may send through the parcels post are eggs. Under the law, however, if one breaks and becomes odorous while on tho journey it can go no further. Died Grieving for (?Irl Who Forgot. Jackson, On., Jan. 1.-A party of hunters, who returned hero to-day, reported the finding of the body of an unidentified man south of here.

Herlin, Jan. li.-Germany's cotton factors are about to take action which will have an important bear ing on the trading hitherto conduct ed through the cotton exchanges of New York and Liverpool. It has been decided to establish a cotton futures market, together with a clearing house, at Bremen early in the new year, probably in April. This will result in the withdrawal of or ders for millions of bales for future delivery which German merchants and manufacturers have hitherto been compelled to send to J^i /erpool or New York. The German government opposes all manner of future business on the mound that lt encourage . r> iii rion, but the sustained agitation .>t thu Bromen cotlou exchange bas convinced *.)ie authorities tiwi only wll the ho?; of uia: Ucto, such na those existing in New Yoru and Liv erpool, can the cotton merchants' i business be carried on with a mini mum of speculation. Tho loss of commissions on future ! transactions for German accou. t will i doubtless be felt boin by American and English brokers. Bremen's growing importance as a cotton cen- j ter ls shown by the fact that Ameri can imports have risen from 850,000 bales in 1803 to 2,275,000 In 1912. Exceptions Filed in Vaughn Case. (Greenville Piedmont, Jan. 2.) j Attorneys for T. U. Vaughn, now under sentence of death In tho State penitentiary for alleged wrong doing while superintendent of the Odd Fel lows' Orphan Home, have served upon Solicitor Bonham .a paper set ting forth the grounds upon which they will appeal Vaughn's case to the Supremo Court. The appeal to the Sup?reme Court asks that the verdict of the lower court be set aside, which plea, If granted, would necessitate a new trial in the lower court. If the ap peal is dismissed thc defendant-ap pellant will bo sent back to the lower court to be re-sentenced. The principal exceptions for ap peal refer to the three talesmen, N. J. Rector, J. B. Brockman and G. W. Morrow, who were rejected by the presiding judge, and also to the re fusal of the judge to bar another talesman, Avery Patton, from Jury duty; to the fact that Vaughn is sen tenced to death by electrocution, when the crime he is charged with having committed was punishable by banging at that, time; and that Vaughn's confession was considered by the court, jury and others as an admission of guilt, as indicted, when really it wa?; an admission of guilt of great nora! wrong I lirTCHIHOX BROS.
