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

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

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. The city of Columbia
will be spared a war in the afternoon
newspaper field.

Hits Wife With Axe.
Bowman. 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

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.
The resolution was. on motion
of .Mr. Tillman, referred to the committee
on postoffices and postroads,
its reading in the Senate and reference
causing no discussion.
The resolution includes not only
tin-' president's message. Put the re!
port of the commission and the committee
on postoffices is directed to
consider whether the use of the j
mails should not he prohibited to the;
! entire matter.
The resolution refers to the presij

i with homes in Washington, to the j
message on the commission's report j
and to the report itself, which treats |
of conditions in the alley homes ofj
the city in plain' language.
