Even Congressional Candidates May Have to . Line Up.?Stiff Campaign Likely. vA * Washington, Feb. 26.?South Carolina A Congressmen are not questioning the recent statement of Speaker Cannon that j?. the House must terminate its delibera; tions by May 15. There is no good reaV son why Congress should adjourn by that time and possibly leave a large amount qf legislation undisposed of, except for the fact that elections will be on hand /^during the present summer in various quarters, and there is already a disposition manifesting itself among Congressmen generally to make frequent trips to : , their homes to patch up political fences here and there. It is not believed that the work of Congress will be ended before the middle of July or possibly the first of August. This was the statement made today byaprom::.-r inent member of the House. But he v V qualified his statement by saying that if the session should be prolonged later than * '-r that time there would hardly be a quorum ^ present to answer a roll call. The next half of the session will be a busy one, and there will be a putting of shoulders to the % - wheel all round so that members with .. . campaigns facing them may cot be de. tained here to their disadvantage. There will probably be more trouble for some of the South Carolina men to return to Washington as members of the 60th congress than will be encountered u nthpr HpIP. oy uie mcuiuus ui ?Uj ??? -? gation. The reason is obvious. The South Carolina campaign to be fought daring the present summer, from : } what is known at this end of the line, will be conducted squarely on the issues *of the Morgan bill?dispensary or no dispensary. It is too early yet to predict the outcome, and to say whether or not the next Congress will see a representation of dispensary or anti-dispensary men in Washington. So much of Senator Tillman's recent statement that the coiniDg campaign would be more fiercely fought than any since 1890, and that the lines would be closely drawn around the dispensary question for all candidates, is not dis puted by prominent people from South Carolina who have been in Washington f during the last few days. They say that so far as the Congressional elections are concerned, matters throughout the State , are rapidly crystalizing into one issue, namely, that involved in the Morgan bill, and that the people throughout the different counties are going to demand that candidates say where they stand. "I have talked with many people in different parts of the State recently," said a South Carolina lawyer here a few days ago, "and I give it as my opinion '* that when the present representatives in congress go before the people this summer they will have to say exactly where they There Stanu OU bUC Uiopcuoai j ? was one time when they could satisfy the \ people by telling them of their work for S appropriations, pensions, free delivery routes, etc., but the situation has changed, and these questions, so far as the next Campaign is concerned, will cut but little It is going to be different this time, and while I will not say whether dispensary men or anti-dispensary men are going to be members of the next congress from South Carolina, you may look for it to happen that all of the seven men \ now in the house are going to have oppo * * ?:n Bition, and the Kind, too, mat wm ta&c V\ them off the fence in a hurry, if they are inclined to straddle on the dispensary question." ^ O O i c >> C o . cs d ?s ^ ^ o 2 E S ? & 64 itfi ? co So ?? 3 ,w ^ Sr^ 8 n 3 ? * .3 ^ - * s % U be ?- ? >y ? _ bo ?- fee 2 E J .S C 3 ? 3 -E 3 ; I CO ?,? g I ? { * iS <? i Attempted Suicide.

Livingston Wright In his irticle on the "Diamond Shoals Light" n the February Technical World Magizlne describes it as follows: "The lighthouse is to have eight different floors besides the lantern galery and watch room. The first will be kjnipped with three lifeboats, with a :rane for hoisting or lowering on the ratside. The second floor will be divided into four rooms and contain the fog signaling apparatus and two oil mgines. The third floor will contain he hoisting engine for operating the rrane. two large provision rooms and a jedroom The fourth and fifth floors sill each have two bedrooms, a writng room and a bathroom.

Speaker Cannon softly bnms nowadays: Everybody atvee to Uncle Joe; A new gift comes every day; Hats and socks and galluses, All In fine array. The speaker is truly grateful to his admiring friends in the Carolinas. His latest present is from Colonel T. G. Hemphill, editor of the Charleston News and Courier, and its beauties can be thus described briefly, says a Washington special to the New York World: One black wool hat with seven inch brim, crown very high, creased on top like alpine, brim almost straight, curling at edges; band a narrow black ribbon. Uncle Joe is now content He hitches up his homespun breeches from North Carolina with his home made galluses from South Carolina; he pulls on his home knit yarn socks from North Carolina; he dons his homely felt hat from South Carolina; he lights a long black cigar worthy of either Carolina, and he is happy and proud and thankful. But even greater happiness awaits him. "The only thing the speaker needs now Is a Jug of moonshine," declared Representative Brownlow of Tennessee the other day, "and I'm going to see that he gets it" Twins Weighed Three Pounds.
