It Was Amended Out of Shape and Then Killed. Columbia, February 23.-The sen ate reversed itself on the railroad rate bill tonight, and after adopting the Weston amendment killed the en tire bill. This leaves t'he mileage and rate question as formerly. Senator Rogers moved to strike out the enact ing words of the bill, and this was carried by a viva voce vote. The bill has been discussed two days. When tahe railroad .rate bill came up for discussion Senator Weston proposed an amendment as follows: "Add another section as follows: "Any railroad company operating or owning a railroad in this State may offer for sale at a price or rate not to exceed two cents a mile inter changeable mileage books, which shall not be good for transportation exce~pt when exchanged for a ticket: Provided, There is a ticket office open at the station where the passenger boards the train." Senator Weston explained this amnendiment. stating that he had been informed that if the bill passes the interchamngeable mileage books would be taRen off sale. 'oenator Crosson made a straight, matter-of-fact talk in support of striking ont t'he enacting words of the bill. He stated that the travel ling publie now has a 20 per cent in ducement to buy the interchangeable mileage book. He thought the drum mers are nowv given privileges, suchl as carrying 200 pounds of baggage. He has investigated the matter care fully and has found that since the ticket auditors have been put on the receipts have increase,d 17 1-2 per cent, also that the roads in this State lost $100,000 in the August floods.' He had voted for the bill. but saw 'his mistake and would vote for kill in' t,he bill. He referred to the loss WITH T~E R To the Pe By the EASTERN RDAY P iroad Fare!

Senator Mauldin stated tha.t he was, for seeing the railroads' accommoda tions improved, but does not believe ni telling the railroads how to con duct their business. There were sevgral speeches for and against the Weston amendment. Senator Laney vigorously opposed the amendment. The vote to indefin itely postpone, offered by Senator Laney, resulted: Yeas, 10; nays, 19. Senator Weston's amendment was moved to be tabled by Senator Sulli van and the vote resulted Yeas, 11; nays, 17.

No ig Blue Sign two docrsI which thousands of estates are requir ed to be settled and for the preserva tion qf papers and records constantly increasing so necessary and essential for the inspection and protection of future generations, should be suffi cient for ithe demands of the busi ness, and so situated and located that when tdhe circumstances require it the said papers and records could be ob-: tained. In my effort to aieeomplish this de sire, endorsed by the petition whieh has already appeared in public print, ithe matter has been brought promi nently before the public, and I think, sufficiently ventilated. In reference: to the allegations or charges corn-. plained of by the auditor against the: supervisor, in ;his effort to move him: after the board of ocmmissioners had made a decison as to who should occu py the different offices, I will simply make the followiing 'statement and let the public draw their own conclu sions: Whien the present auditor was tak ing charge of the offiee, the supervi sor, after assuring him in my pres-: enee that the board ilhad an un-pleas-: ant duty to perform and it was his duty to have the matter pleasantly and agreeab)ly adjust'ed, asked him if it could not be done without action on their part, he replied that he prefer red for the board t!o make the decis ion, that their action would be satis factory to him .and added, that there would be no feeling so far .as lie was concerned. As to the supervisor be ing loeked out when he attempted to move us, and my inconvenee, etc., it is not necessary for me to say any thing. In view of the fact that the omeies belonz to the people and the officials while in office are their pub lic servants, I can 't see that our ap proval or disapproval in regard to whart office we shall occupy should be considered, but in my humble judg me.nt I tihink it preferale and by far safer to risk the judgment of the ar K I ~arching the ma BE ory and Adjoinir G THIS ( of Baltimore, BEGINNIN( G, FEBI 5T SELL! ock of merchandise, consisting of N ur store.

In conclusion I will say that while in all probability my motives have been questioned and my actions criti cised, tihat I have not asked that my personal preference as to the occu pany .of either offiee should be consid ered, neither have I refused to be wnov ed by ithose in authority, nor do I in tend to do so. but in view of what has already beeni done, I am free to say (if it was in my province to do so) that it would be presumption on my part to assume the responsibility of saying what office shall be occupied by the probate judge and if possible litiation should be avoided.

Affairs in Capital. Mrs. Armor has come and gone. She spoke twelve times, going into the different sections of the city, winning hosts of friends and hundreds of con verts to prohibition for the District of Columbia. At every service men and women assured us that they were with us in the fight for a clean city. The initerest kept gaining, and at the last service, held Sunday evening, January 31, at the National Theater, the building was filled with an audi enee largely composed of men. They sang again and again, "Washington's going dry,'' at last st-anding and wav ing ihandkerchiefs and.<lapping hands to showv their interest. Mrs. Armo never spoke better than a~t that ser vice, and when she made an appeal for funds to carry forward the work, $925 was raised, making in all during the series of meetings nearly $2,000. Two hundred and fifty names were secured for new members, and the presidents ,of local unions are seek ing these newcomers, bringing them right into the unions and thus crown ing the work with blessed results. We feel that a new and great impetus has come to the work from t-he visit of Mrs. Armor, and pray God 's blessing to go with her. Mrs. Armor will be in South Caro lina in April.and we expect results.
