NO BACK DOWN Breach Between the Machine Republicans and Insurgents GETS WIDER THAN EVER Tito Insurgents Are Defiant, aiul It Ik Believed That the First Contest Will Coine With the Selection of Committee to Probe Hallinger-Pi nchot Kmbroglio. ? %* I.U.ntrin rllcll'lteh S.'IVfl tllO J\ itMIIUglUII U10|>u.vu _ already broad breach between the "organization" of the house of rep rescntatives and the Republican insurgents was widened perceptibly Monday. Monday night thero was every evidence that mutually hostile acts of the past few days would continue with increasing bitterness. All day the insurgents caucussed in little groups of twos, threes and fours on the house iloor, in the cloak rooms and the members lobby, discussing tlie situation and debating the desirability of an early meeting to form a battle front to meet the onslaughts that are reported to be coming from the organization. Much secrecy was observed among them. No one would say when a formal meeting will be held. It became known Monday that the party caucus will he invoked against the insurgents, and on every occasion when there are differencebetween the Republican members that insurgents will be made to follow the program or bo forced out side the pale of the party. The announcement did not dis concert the recalcitrant Representatives. They were free in their expressed opinions that no compulsory measures would avail anything to the organization. If the test of regularity lies in following the "machine" as several denominated it, they said they preferred to be irregular. The first battle will occur, it is believed, over the selection of the committee by the house to investigate the Rallinger-IMnchot onibro glio. which is several days in the future. The house Republicans doubtless will hold a caucus to name a committee and map out a program, and here the insurgents, it is predicted, "fish or cut bait." A dozen insurgents said privately that they would not attend any canons where they knew there was a (pro-arranged plan to discredit them. Representative Underwood, speaking for the Democrats of the house, said the minority would probably hold a caucus also on the BallingerPinchot inquisition. There is a prospect of a joint Democratic-Republican insurgent committee being named to oppose the committee being named to oppose the committee of the regular Republicans, which would bring a test battle on the floor. "We are like the outside nine," said Mr. Underwood, "waiting tc 3ee which way tho ball is going to be batted. We can't play until they hit something In our direction.' ' The letter issued by the Republican congressional committee, Which had the effect of throwing a few bricks into the insurgent camp, came from the "literary bureav, maintained by that organization. It was stated that tho congressional committee did not exist as a body at this time and therefore was not responsible. Representative McKinley, of Illinois, chairman of the committee, admitted there was virtually no committee in existance now, hut he himself assumed responsibility for the letter. It was sent out, ho said under his guidance from tho Repub lican headquarters In Washington as part of the regular "weekly news letter." How to Attract the Buyer. An advertising expert tells thi story: One Saturday aftersoon tw bootblacks were trying to draw trade Their stands were similar in appeal ance, the boys looked alike, and thei locations were of equal value. On called out "shine, shine, get a shin here," briskly enough. The otlv called out, "Get your Sunday shim get your Sunday shine." The se< ond hoy did a rushing business, whil tho first was idle. , Quite a lesson there for the ar vertlser.

WANTS TO QUIT | )ld Man Joe Cannon About Ready to Surrender Speakership. HAS BEEN WHIPPED OUT Division iu His Party's Hanks and the Ordeal to Which He is Daily Sub joe ted Are Alleged to Have <toused Hiiu to Prepare to Step Down and Out. The Washington correspondent of The News and Courier says it is reported that Speaker Cannon, no longer aide to stand the division in his own ranks, and the terrible ordeal that he is daily forced to moot, has resigned as speaker of tie* national house of representatives. Lint this he is denying to those who make inquiry. it would surprise no one were he to take such acion at any moment. The situation in the house, and as t matter of fact, with Republicans hroughout the entire country, is nave. They may be able to pull hemselves together, and do business, but they will have to do it luiekly. IS very day of wrangling idds to their dilliculties, and to the topo of the Democrats. A family l ow, of the biggest dimensions, and >f all possible varieites, is on among lie Republicans in congress, both lonse and senate. The situation as it stands now in he house is summed up by a Washngton paper as follows: "As mat er stands today, can it ho said that, he Republicans are in control of he house? It is not within the tower of the Insurgents to defeat the najority of their party at will .prodding only thero is capital in their larticular attitude for the Domo:rat. Naturally, the Democrats are eady to help. They will respond or a conference any time, day or ngnr, ami have goods to deliver, heir only stipulation being that the illiiinco shall carry something for lvem. And, of course, every move calculated to emharras and dlscred t the speaker and his friends is. If inccessful, so much to the good for VIr. Clark and his friends. Tho in mrgents are so many mill hoys delverlng grist to the firm of ClarK t Co. They are the later 'Mill toys of the Slashes," slashing their inrty at every turn." If Mr. Cannon has not, in reality, ilready placed his resignation In the lands of the proper parties to h? iccepted unless conditions materialy change at once for the better, It s almost certain, according to what s being said In Washington, that mch action will he taken before the present dissension on the Republican side of the house and in tho ionato has gone much further. The end of Cannonism appears to lie in sight, unless the Republicans get together. MOUNTAIN MO VMS ON VILLAGE. Terror Exists Among Uesuients of Swiss Hamlet. The Voirons Mountain, 4,875 feet high, in the Savoy Alps, situated near the Lake of Geneva, is threatening the village of Machilly with destruction. The northern foce of the mountain is moving downward toward the village, which lies at its foot. Great terror exists among the inhabitants of Machilly, and those occupying houses nearest the moving mass have fled from their dwellings, fearing that the avalanche vx ill suddenly increase in force and overwhelm them. The French authorities are trying to divert the course of the advancing landslide from the village toward a ravine, and all the villagers are assisting a detachment of troops to this end. It is thought that a simil iake has formed in the Voirons, an.I that the water is forcing out Lh? side of the mountain. A similar phenomenon occurred in 1802 above St Oorvais-les-Bains, when a largo portion of that resort was destroyed bj tho sudden advance of a porion o a mountain. * Blown to Atoms.

ONE GREAT NEED Makes Strong Plea for the Establishment Over the States of SCHOOLS FOR FARMERS Dr. Knnpp, of tho I'uited States !>< purtmont of Agriculture, Point* out mo uriMU \ aiu ? '? mo naoi? Country by tlio lv?tablLshmeiit of Such Institutions. In 1111 address at Greenville on Wednesday Dr. Seaman A. Knapp. of the department of agriculture made u strong plea for the establishment of farm training schools to supplement the State agricultural colleges. The resultant benefit to the community and the country at large would be immense, Dr. Knapp pointed out, because of the Increased production of food supplies and the bettor condition of those who produced the nation's food. "At the last census," said Dr. Knapp, "there were 2,000,000 rented farms and 10,.">00,000 laborers on all the farms of the United States. What per cent of the rented farms were well farmed and what per cent of the 1 0,5 00,000 farmers were really good farmers? Possibly 1 per con t and 5 per cent were fairly good; 9-1 per cent get from one-half to one fourth of what they should obtain from the soil. This los* must not bo regarded as ndivldu?l; it Is a loss to the State, to the community. What does this Statu pro poso to do about it? The speaker declared the masses must bo divided into two classes? those who could afford to attend a school of some kind and thoso who could not leave homo to obtain an uuucuiiou ami who, uuTciore, must got their education In or near their homes. For such as wore able to devoto some time to study, Dr. Knapp advocated their attendance fin a farm training school, such as he outlin ed. "The farm training school must h* both effective and 'economical,' he said. "The training must tit men to do the work on the farm necessary for them to do and, inasmuch as their funds are limited, it must be economical, and even if their funds wero not limited the farmer must learn economy." Such a school, in Dr. Knapp's opin ion, should bo equipped with simple apparauts; it should make a feature of manual labor and it should strive to teach by practical methods rather than through the agency of books. "Now, after some of these funda mental things are acquired," continued Dr. Knapp, "which of course must be acquired along with the other studies, what actual knowledge must bo obtained? And among the actual knowledge that he needs to acquire for the farm?and I am now discussing the man who proposes to live on the farm?are the following: "How to make a crop successfully, which will Include the preparation of seed bed, the seed and cultivation; how to do his work the most economically?which would include the kind of teams, the feeding of teams, the uso of the best farm tools, etc.; the feeding of animals and the value of the meadow and the pasture; the uso of green crops and the economic ration." The improvement of tho farm would follow immediately on the adoption of modern methods and the application of the above knowledge to its administration, said I)r. Knapp. He decleared, also, that the improve ments on farms at the present time were nearly all of a temporary nature and, therefore, costly In the long run. "The cost of repairs 's too great," he said, "and the life of the improvement is too short." Dr. Knapp concluded his address , with a glowing tribute to the farmer's wife. lie dwelt upon her prac, ticabllity and her love for her home. Taking one such woman, whose name ho did not mention, he said: "She believed in housekeeping as j a fine art and an art worthy of any j. woman. Such a woman is a treasure ? in any household and worthy of all honor by tho best man that evei lived." Dr. Knapp is delivering a seriei of these addresses under tDo auspicei 1 of the Southern railway. A large crowd of farmers from th< ?<?- - - . iuuiiii/Ht ? out ion or soutn Caroline heard Dr. Knapp. The domonstra Hon agents of tho Stato also held mooting h Dig Cotton Fire. At Now Orleans eighteen hundret bales of cotton, valued at $00,000 a were destroyed in a fire in a com a press Wednesday. : SAW MILLS v C?w Mills mounted on wheels, as ?nail; 7 ^ moved m a mounted Thresher.

It has long been ^ known that lime is an essential food for plants of all kinds and that they cannot live when it has been exhaust- ' ed from the soil.
