GAIXKSAXI) CAYXOX ( LASH. - j McnrfH'i* and Speaker Kxohange Cutx ting Words Over Courtesy. Washington, Feb. 27.?A sharp clash between Representative Gaines, of Tennessee, and Speaker Cannon occurred in the house of representatives to-day. in the course of which each claimed he had been insulted by the other. So persistent was Mr. Gaines in addressing the chair, when declared out of order, that the speakre directed the sergeant-at-arms "to compel him to be in order." Promptly obeying the direction of the speaker the sergeant-at-arms, for the first time in several years, took the mace from its stand and proceeded toward Mr. Gaines, but the speaker called him back upon hearing the Tennessee member say he would be in order. The trouble arose during the reading of the general deficiency appropriation bill. Mr. Gaines insisted on interrupting with a question, and was held to be out of order. "I did not know I was not in or der," Mr. Gaines remarKea. The speaker, with some warmth, declared that Mr. Gaines had been a member of the house long enough to know that he was not in order. "It takes a student like the speaker," retorted Mr. Gaines, "to know what the rules are, and he has to study them every minute with somebody to prompt him." "The gentleman from Tennessee," the speaker hotly replied, "is absolutely discourteous and misstates the facU." By this time both men were thoroughly wrought: up. "The gentleman from Tennessee," returned Mr. Gaines, "is no more discourteous than the speaker is discourteous to him and the gentleman from Tennessee has not misstated the facts." "The chair desires at all times to be as impartial as he can, but the practice has grown up occasionally for a member, on the supposition that the speaker's tongue is tied, to insult him, and the speaker will not submit to it." "The tongue of the gentleman from Tennessee is tied and he is insulted by the speaker. The speaker has done it for 12 years," replied Mr. Gaines. The speaker commanded Mr. Gaines to be in order. "The cnMt<ir will he in order too." was Mr. Gaines' fling. Unable longer to stand Mr. Gaines' taunts, the speaker ordered the sergeant-at-arms "to see that he remains in order." It was then that the mace was taken down. Lucky. Little Johnnie, who had been praying for some months for God to send him a baby brother, finally became discouraged. "I don't believe God has any more little boys to send," he told his mother, "and I'm going to quit it." Early one morning not long after this he was taken into his mother's room to see twin boys, who had arrived in the night. Johnnie regarded them thoughtfully for some minutes. "Gee," he remarked finally, "it's a good thing I stopped praying when I did."?Everybody's Magazine. Where Was the Deacon? Deacon Jones, the great man of a little village of Massachusetts, whose outward piety was of the vociferous order, but whose charity toward his fellow men was not as abounding as it might have been, was dangerously ill, "and his brother deacons, impressed with the custom of issuing bulletins from the sick room of prominent individuals, decided to follow the fashion, with the following results: "6 ,p. m. Deacon Jones is in a serious condition." "7 p. m. Deacon Jones has rali lied slightly." "9 p. m. Deacon Jones has suffered a relapse." "11 p. m. Deacon Jones has departed for heaven." Thus the bulletins read at midnight; but early in the morning some unregenerate mortal who did not love the deacon, evidently passed that way, for the light of a new day showed curious townspeople the later report: "Heaven, 7 a. m. Great consternation here. Deacon Jones has not . arrived."?Woman's Home Companion for March. Hoyt Buys Record. Columbia, Feb. 24.?The following announcement appears in The Record this afternoon: Negotiations, which have been going on for some time, looking to the purchase of the controlling interest in the stock of the Record Publishing Company, which had been held by George R. Koester, the founder of The Daily Record, and associates, were completed to-day and said control will, on the first of March, pass into the hands of Mr. James A. Hoyt and associates. As to his plans. Mr. Hoyt will make his own announcement. Mr. Koester's valedictory, so to speak, will appear in The Record of the 27th of this month, which will be the last issue under his management. The transfer was an entirely amicable arrangement and the new management will start with the heartiest best wishes of the present ? ? x ? x* mt n ^ ^^j management ui j ne nwuru. It will be recalled that Mr. James A. Hoyt was the promoter of the company which was to publish The Afternoon Sun in competition with The Record.

Feb. 25.?What will probably be another case of wife murder occurred about three and one-half miles from here yesterday. Jake Summers, a negro about 25 years old. struck his wife on the back of the head with the blunt end of an axe and as a result she is now at the point of death. Summers was immediately arrested and was lodged in the guard house here. The State's correspondent interviewed him this afternoon and Summers' account of the affair is as follows: That his wife had told him that she was going to leave and that when she-did leave him she would see to it that he was killed. At about 1 O trwlav fihp tnlri him that 1 iJ \J ViVVU VV VkMJ VW.V. , _ she intended leaving him and she then left the house with her belongings. That as soon as she left he got the axe and caught up with her and struck her a blow on the back of the head. When asked if he intended killing her, he said that it was a case of self-defense, for if he had not hit her she would have come back at some future time and killed him. Summers heretofore has borne a fairly good reputation, but he has always been looked upon by some as weak-minded. He seems to be perfectly satisfied that it is a clear case of self-defense. An Inseparable Loss. The teacher of the primary school, in looking around the room after the children had taken their seats, saw a new face. It pertained to a little boy. She called him to her desk. "What is your name, dear?" she asked him. "Tommy Hunter, ma'am." he answered. "How old are you, Tommy?" "Six. going on seven." "You don't look over five," she said, after a careful scrutiny. "I shall have to ask you to bring me a certificate of your age." "Bring you what, ma'am?" "A statement from your parents. You may stay here this morning, but when you go home at noon ask your mother to write me a note, telling me when and where you were born. Don't forget it, Tommy. You may go back to your seat." After the noon recess was over and the children had reassembled in the school room, Tommy presented nimself at the desk, flushed with triumph. The glow soon faded from his little face, however, as he felt in his pockets, one after another, and failed to find the note his mother had written. He began to cry. "What is the matter, dear?" asked the teacher. "I?I've lost my?my excuse for bein' born!" sobbed Tommy.? Youth's Companion. The Common School Extension. Representative C. W. Garris's bill, carrying an appropriation of $20,000 to aid the poorer of the rural schools, and to encourage those poor school districts to help themselves, has become an act. This is a start in the right direction, and we believe much good will come of it. The fund is to be available only for those schools whose regular funds enable them to keep open less than one hundred days. The maximum amount that any school may secure is $100, and aid is given only when the school district raises by special effort an amount equal to that taken from the State fund. Four hundred school districts, by raising $50 extra each, can secure $50 each from this fund, and will thus lengthen the school term of each by from two to three months. The appropriation gives direct help, but k does much more by en couraging the people in the poorer districts to make sacrifices for their school in order to get this State aid. Those sacrifices will give them greater interest ?n education. If the p.an is found to work well, it is not improbable that this system will be extended from year to year until the weaker schools everywhere shall feel its benefits and encouragement. It will help not only existing schools, but will encourage the organization of new school districts, where it is now felt to be impracticable to sustain a school for even one hundred days. We hope the benefits will be so immediate and so clear that in the course of a very few years not less than $150,000 will be given annually for the coihmon school extension. Mr. Garris is to be congratulated upon being the author of a measure tfiac is so full of possibilities.?The State. St. Geoi ge Oil Mill Destroyed. St. George, Feb. 28.?The entir? oil mill and ginnery plant of the St. George Cotton Oil Mill Company were destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning. The total loss to the stockholders amounts to about $45,000, with only $16,000 insurance, a carioaa 01 hulls and a carload of seed on the j railroad track were consumed, together with the cars which contained those articles. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is supposed of incendiary origin, since there has been no fire on the premises since Friday at noon, when the mill closed temporarily. The stock is mostly held by local parties. Hard on Cigarette Smokers. New York. Feb. 2"?.?As a result of conference by prominent cigarette dealers throughout the country the price of cigarettes, it is stated, is about to be raised. The increase will be one only in the sense that the standard prices are to be restored on brands that during the past few years have been selling in nearly all cigar stores under the regular price. Dealers. it is said, have found that there was no money in the cigaretles at the cut prices and as manufacturers are said to be threatening an advance owing to tlu; increase price of the short cron of Turkish tobacco, the cigar store keepers got together and. it is declared, have agreed to restore all nit priced brands to standard-figures. (larlfngtou Granted Bail. Chattanooga, Tenn.. Feb. 28.?J. Y. Garlington. former president of the Seminole Securities Company, of Columbia. S. C.. was arrested in his office in this city this morning on instructions from Columbia. The charge against him is obtaining money under false pretenses. He was released on bond immediately, following his arrest. The other two defendants, -M. J. Jeans and J. S. Young, voluntarily surrendered and were released. Sheriff Coleman left to-night for Nashville to secure requisition papers. The accused men say they will not resist extradition and insist on being taken to Columbia at once.?Columbia State. . Child Crushed to Death. Bennettsville. Feb. 26.?Frank Haney, the 2-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Haney, of Blenheim, this county, met with a horrible death yesterday afternoon. The little child was knocked down and run over by a loaded two-horse wagon and its skull terribly crushed. Mr. Haney and family live very near the road and the child had left the fireside only a few minutes before it met its death. The driver of the wagon was Jim Williams, a young negro about 19 years old. He bears a good reputation and is a trusted teamster. The coroner's inquest attached no blame to Williams, but it is probable that there will be prosecution on a charge of criminal carelessness. May Reinstate Negro Soldiers. Washington, Feb. 27.?Under a special rule the house to-day considered the Senate bill granting to the discharged negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth infantry, said to have been involved in the "shooting up" of Brownsville, Tex., the right to prove their innocence and thus make them eligible for restoration to the army. One hour and a half was allotted for debate and in that time many speeches were made. Among those who spoke in opposition was Mr. Slayden (Texas), who declared that congress was seeking by this bill to set aside the most righteous act of the Roosevelt administration. The speeches succeeded in throwing the house into disorder. The confusion was especially marked when Mr. Cockran (New York) spoke in support of the bill and made an earnest plea for exact justice to all. "How about the Japanese?" shouted Mr. Gaines (Tenn.) "The gentleman's interruption," replied Mr. Cockran amid a roar of laughter, "is always picturesque, but not always sensible." "But they will all be taken back in the army. Mark my prediction," remarked Mr. Burleson (Texas) with some heat. Mr. Cockran sharply retorted that "the gentleman may be as good a prophet as Samuel of old. but this is not a place where prophecies can be made the basis of legislation." At the end of a spirited speech by Mr. Clark .(Mo.) in opposition to the bill he was asked by Mr. Bede (Minn.) if he ever before heard of a conspiracy in which 167 men were claimed to have been involved. Mr. Clark provoked shouts of laughter when he replied that he had. Members all around began to prompt him and he 'instanced the Molly Maguires, Ku-Klux,- Night Riders,- Bald-Knobbers, White Caps "and the conspiracy that ran the niggers out of Sprfngfield, 111." Mr. Bede sat down apparently nonplussed. Others who opposed the1 bill were Messrs. Williams (Miss.), Henry, Slayden and Garner (Texas), Bartlett (Ga.) * The bill was passed under suspen siorl of the rules. Blacks Praise Prohibition. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 27.?The Southern Negro Anti-Saloon federation, closing a three days' convention here, adopted a resolution eulogizing the "splendid movement now being carried forward by our white neighbors" for prohibition. The resolution says: "The leaders in our ministry are against this curse. We deny the statement often made by the friends of the saloon that as a race we can be counted upon to ally ourselves with their interests. "We recognize that the saloon has been the source of the greater part of the crime committed by the weaker element of our race." Plan to Help the Negroes. Atlanta. Ga., Feb. 25.?A plan for the material uplift of the negroes of Georgia, which comes entirely from negro initiative, was announced ' today. It contemplates buying of 20,000 acres of farm land, dividing it [ into 400 farms of 50 acres each and j allowing tenants to pay for this land in cotton. Each tenant to buy his land is to pay 1,000 pounds of good middling cotton per year for seven j years. This amount is said to equal about the average rental rate now j paid by good negro farm tenants. Tillman Would Bar Message from Mails. Washington. Feb. 26.?Senator Tillman to-day astonished the Senate by the introduction of a resolution instructing the committee on postoffices and postroads to inquire wheth er messages ciiiu i cpui is i cv/cuu.' sent to congress by the president should he excluded from the mails as obscene literature unfit for circulation.
