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.

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.
