Occurs in the House Between Williams and Lamar. DIRTY LINEN IS WASHED Democratic Minority Leader Atacked for Barring Lamar and Shackel ford from Committee Places. A Washington special says: The “washing of democratic linen for the amusement of republicans,” as Mr. Williams, the minority leader, put it a few days ago, occupied tho atteu- tion of the house for more than four hours Wednesday. The result accomplished was a deb thrown at the minority leader by Kep- resentativ-a Lamar of d lorida and an other by Representative Shackleford of Missouri. The complaint of both resulted from the failure of Mr. Wil liams to recommend their reapolnt- ment as members of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce. Both made long speeches in which Mr. Williams’ leadership was assailed from many points. Mr. Williams re plied to Mr. Lamar at some length and briefly to Mr. Shackleford. His defense was that last session the democrats on this committee were di vided and he demed it necessary for the good of the party and the country that a united minority report should be made on the subject of railroad rate legislation. Speaking of the leadership of Mr- Williams, Mr. Lamar said he would recognize him as the party leader, but not personally “until he relieves mo of an unjust charge on his part.” Mr. Lamar concluded with the statement that he considered his re moval from tho commerce committee an act absolutely untenable and an as persion upon‘his private character. He secured the reading of correspon dence on the matter between him self and Mr. Williams. Mr. Lamar said it had gone to the country through the press that the minority leader would not tolerate followers of Mr. Hearst. He admitted he felt friendly toward Mr. Hearst and regarded his bill a good one. He then charged Mr. Williams with con tributing more in one minute to dem ocratic inharmony than he (Lamarj had in a year. He admitted that on Monday he was in the heat of anger and glad that he had been stopped. However, his personal friendship for Mr. Williams had ceased. Mr. Williams was at once recog nized to reply. “I am,” he said, “’about to perform a very unpleas ant duty and one the wisdom of which I have serious doubt. The gentleman takes himself too seriously. He thinks he can make a national issue out of a committee assignment, but he can’t do it. He thinks he was removed, but he was not. There w r as no com mittee.” Mr. Williams asked if he would not have been lacking in moral CQur- age and in every essential of a flo6r leader if he had made up a minority membership of the commerce com- mittse w’hich would have been divid ed four to two on the question ot railroad rates. Long applause followed the state ment of MT. Williams that he should ignore the personalities of Mr. Lamar. Applause again followed Mr. Wllllafts when he said he had not allowed per sonalities to influence his transaction of public business. And w’hat he had done, he said, had been approved by “almost the unanimous opinion ot tho members of the minority side of the house:” (Applause.) He referred to the committee ap pointments of Mr. Hearst; labor ahtl irrigation of arid lands, and admit ted that he did not love Mr. Hearst. “Why should I love a millionaire who owns many newspapers which he seems to be demoting to tearing me down?” he said. DEMAND HIGHER WAGES. Engineers on Georgia Central Apoeai to President Hanson. Just whether or not Major J. F. Hanson, President of the Central of Georgia railway system, will grant demands made for increase in salar ies is what is uppermost in the minds of some 226 men who handle the throttles on engines of that road. Although the men made known their wants in the salary line some time ago, it has not been generally known, but the facts finally leaked out. SOUTHERN INSURANCE COMPANY To Be Organized in Atlanta Accord ing to Authoritative Report. That a Southern old line life in surance company is to be organized in Atlanta in the near future is re ported from authoritative sources. Those behind the movement are said to be among the most substantial business men of Atlanta, who think the time is ripe for such an enter prise. RECEIVERSHIP PERMANENT. Property of Southern Transportation Company to Be Sold. The temporary receivership of tne Southern Transportation company was made permanent by Judge Sea brook in the superior court at Savan nah Monday, and an order was taken looking to the sole of all the prop erty of the company. J. S. Nixon ot Augusta was made permanent re reiver. I SOUTH CAROLINA l STATE NEWS ITEMS. Torpedo Boats at Charleston. United States torpedo boats Porter, McDowell, Rodgers, Johnson, Blakely, Courtenay and Dupont arrived off Charleston a few days ago from More- head City to join Admiral Dickins’ coast defense squadron wintering in that port. They reported severe weather, but suffered no damage or delay. Negro Slain by Officer. Chief of Police Littlefield of Griers shot and killed an unknown negro, whom he was trying to arrest on the charge of having illicit whisky in his possession. The negro opened fire on the officer, shooting twice, when Lit tlefield drew his pistol and fired twice, killing the negro instantly. Consider able excitement was caused by the killing, but the officer is held entirely guiltless in the matter. Spartanburg Baptists Pleased. The Baptists of Spartanburg were greatly pleased with the announce ment from Columbia that the next state convention would be held in their city in November, 1906. The ses sions will be held in the First Bap tist Church, and the convention for the first time will have an opportun ity to see this handsome house of worship, one of the finest in the state, that has been completed just one year. Child Mangled by Train. An accident occurred on the Blue Ridge railroad near Anderson a few days ago as the passenger train was nearing the city. Engineer Ramey Hughes saw a little boy on the track just in front of the engine. He revers ed the engine, but it was too near the child and could not be stopped. The little fellow was cut in twain and instantly killed. His name was Thompson, and his father is one of the free rural delivery carriers. Prize for Best Acre of Oats. The First National Bank of Spar tanburg of Spartanburg, of which W. E. Burnett is president, has announc ed that they will give a -fifty dollar gold prize for the J^kfKacre of oats raised from a planM? prior to March 1, 1906. There are special conditions that must be observed in the contest, but none that cannot ‘ pa*!).* *» the farmers who heretofore have evinced a great interest in these cash prizes offered by several banks of Spartanburg. Death Claims Representative Moses. Representative Altamont Moses, for many years mest prominent in South Carolina politics, died the past week at Sumter of pneumonia, complicated by Bright’s disease. He was fifty years of age. He was chairman of the house ways and means commit tee, member of state sinking fund commission and member of Clemson college board of visitors. He was former senator from Sum ter county and in point of service was the oldest member of the general assembly. He was one of the leaders who kept Sumter county against Till man from the beginning. Dispenser Must Produce Paper. The state supreme court is deter mined to find out “what’s doing” in those alleged private letters and oth er papers which Big Chief Beer Dis penser James S. Farnum of Charles ton on advice of counsel, had remov ed from his dispensary No. 12, in Charleston, beyond the reach of the dispensary investigating commission to another state, and to this end has passed an order requiring him to pro duce them before the court. The order is without precedence as to any question of law or fact in the case, as Mr. Farnum's attorney has said that he would lie in jail for con tempt and rot there before he would produce the papers. The case went to the supreme court on such refusal of the investi gating commission’s order and the court is called upon to pass upon the legality of the resolution creating the commission. Successful Gridiron Season. South Carolina ended up her foot ball season very creditably. The sup porters of the garnet and black are all very well satisfied with the result of the season’s work. It is true that the eleven lost one or two games, but when one compares the weight and experience of those teams to the Carolina team it is marvelous that Carolina held them down to the final scores. V. P. I. only won by a score of 34 to 0, and though this might seem a rather large score, still it will compare favorably to the scores of other teams that V. P. I. played. The team had its usual slump near he last of the season and came very near losing a game by poor playing, Hit in the Thanksgiving game the ••.hole team showed a lot of spirit and very man played a fine game. The core of 47 to 0 will show this, es- leclally so when it is remembered hat the citadel held the strong Welch Neck team down to a score of 6 to o r> week or two before. Carnegie Would Give Premium. At the meeting of the Civic Fed eration in New York, Andrew Carne gie said that if he owned America, he would give a premium to immi grants coming to this country. J. Milton Alien, IMPORTER.

Ulfedo Neat Printing at Reasonable Prices HAZING TO BE STOPPED. Recent Disclosures at Naval Academy Arouses Ctficials and Rigid Inquiry is Gotten Under Way. Hazing of every kind, it was an nounced in Washington Thursciay,wi)l be stamped out oi tne naval acad emy, regardless of tne number oi dismissals irom the bngaue of mid shipmen necessary to bring aoout this result. Two midshipmen will be dismissed from the academy within a ie\y dais by the secretary of the navy, the one for hazing and the other tor coun tenancing it by failure while on duty to report its occurrence. Other dis missals will follow as often as mid shipmen are found guilty of hazing, er countenancing it. Aroused by the condition of affairs, which reports show to exist at the academy, so far as the treatment of fourth classmen are concerned, Secre- taiy Bonaparte late Thursday after noon telephoned to Rear Admiral Jas. H. Sands, superintendent of the acad emy, a request to come to Washing ton as soon as possible for a confer ence. It will be the initial step in a new and vigorous campaign to be waged at Annapolis against hazing. Congressional investigation of the con ditions at the academy has already been proposed in a resolution intro duced in the house Thursday after noon by Representative Loud of Mich igan. Priefly, these are the developments in the movement against hazing at the naval academy. When Secretary -f^cm-T-art? fitTi—rnrv> trrpm cmc.-itr Thursday he received an cfficial report from Admiral Sands, announc ing the svsponsion of Midshipman Trenmor Coffin. Jr., third classman, for hazing Midshipman Jerdone P. Kimbrough, fourth classman, by forc ing him to stand on his head until he became unconscious, and of Mid- shipman Warren A. Vandever, sec ond classman, because while on duty he observed the occurrence and fail ed to report it. The superintendent called attention to the fact that Mid shipman Coffin and \ andever were guilty of violating a well known rule of the academy, and recommended their summary dismissal, in accord ance with an act of congress approved March 3, 1903.
