At Toronto, Kan., seridus rioting occurred Wednesday night, following , a mass meeting called to protest , against the introduction of "pay-as- , you-enter ' cars by the Toronto Street Railway Company. The system was Installed on the ..j principal car lines of the city two | weeks ago. It caused general dis- f satisfaction because, it was claimed, < the company fa'lod to provide proper ears. A mass meeting was called for tit Massey Hall. The call was la3ued by the board of control, through Mayor Geary, and was* intended merely to voice a lawful protest against the Innovation. Many 'flery speeches were made and upon leaving ihe building the audience became a mob. They attacked the street cars, Iragged off the conductors and motprmen and then proceeded to wreck 'he cars.

In the opinion of the four Democrats, Mr. Rallinger, "has not been! 'rue to the iriint reposed in him as Secretary of the Interior and should ! be asked by the proper authorities io resign." Both reports, < together with the,. Independent report of Representative Madison,-. (Republican) also adverse to Mr. Hal linger, were offered in the Senate by Senator Nelson, and In the House by Representative McCail. Their presentation followed a meeting of the full committee. The Democratic members, lead by Senator fie teller, of Florida, agreed to this method of getting the reports before Congress, after their motion to substitute their own report had been rejected In the committee. Senator Fletcher first raised the point of order that the committee had already approved the report that was made public at Minneapolis. This point was overruled by Chairman Nelson. A motion then was made to substitute the Democratic report for the report agreed upon by the seven Republican members. This was voted lown 7 to 5, Representative Madijon voting with the four Democrats. It was agreed by the committee ifter the majority report had been idopted, that all three should be presented at once in each house and printed together. Under this arrangement the dissenting reports are ?iven equal standing with the malority report before the two houses. \n order for 30,000 copies of the eport was made by the Senate. Senator Fletcher said later that iteps will be taken by the Democrats o bring about action in accordance vith the recommendation contained n their report. The recommendiion in question characterizes Secreary Ballinger as "not deserving of he public confidence" and rocomnends "that he should be requested >y the proper authority to resign his ifilce as Secretary of the Interior." The reports were accepted in both louses without comment. The plan >f action to be followed by the Domic rat's ha3 not been determined upon, nit it is said a resolution will be iresented to carry out the reconi- ' nendatlon made for the Secretary's emoval. Such a resolution probably viII call uatly upon the President o discharge his Cabinet officer. The Democrats held a .conference ' in the matter today. They charao- . erizo the majority report as "weak,'' , vhi 1*5 the Republican members of the , onnnittee say it has fully answered j ill the charges made against Hal- , inger and has disposed of all testi- ( nony presented during the long , ica'rin - M An effort undoubtedly will be j nade to put the House on record as , o its opinion of the majority report. ] iome of the Democratic House inemicrs favor demanding consideration f the report at the first opportunity, ollowing up their demand with an , npeal from Die decision of th*. . hairmnn should Speaker Cannon j i?le them out of order. Officials of he interior department declined to i. inke any comment whatever on the lajorlty report. | ? "I have no comment to make on lie report of the committee," said ^ oeretary of tlie Interior Balllngor, Dion ask?d in regard to tlie findings. in case the Speaker permits maters to take their course, it is held v parliamentarians that a resoluion demanding a vote would be neessary. Such a resolution would r nve to go to some standing comlittee for report, and as no such ommittee would relish tlie responsi- 1 ilitv thus thrust upon it, the res>- 1 Dion probably would lie pigeon- v oled. The general feeling Is that * lore would be no action on the re- (' ort at this session, which means 11 ot at all, for the report loses its * )rco with Die expiration of the pros- J w. i /l ? 1 ? \J?

Of course in almost every place there are some people who will buy of mail order houses just because they have a craze for buying out of town, but the great majority of people are reasonable and fair and prefer to deal with home merchants. Hut they need to nave brought home to them In clear, unmistakable form the advantages which home trading gives them. As a rule this is, not done as it snould Le. Tue mail order firms send to almost every home their big illustrated catalogues two or three times a year, and those catalogues are got up iu alluring manner and are full of illusory bargains. The way for the home merchants to meet that is by keeping honest goods upon their shelves and then tell the public about them In generous, attractive advertising that catches the eye. As a rule they do the first all rltrht. hut their aoods. however excellent, will remain on their shelves unsold unless customers are secured. * ^ ? isux ovki: nv \v.\(io\. rim Roberts Killel at \Voo<|rulT Saturday Morning.

The South Atlantic States Corn Expos)tion, held in Columbia, marks an epoch in the history of the South.

South Carolina an I floor- j j gia were shown, in a concrete form, j j that the great, boasted corn belt of the West has at last moved South. The Exposition stands for more and better corn, which means more live stock and hogs, and consequently bread and meat, for the milieus i ; of people in the South. The Expo- I Isit'on showed what can be done on j :the broad acres of the South. it ! j shows that the broad acres of the I ...... .. .1~ .1 ... . v.. ?. (I I f lliuit- Iiu I I'U'll IU V,ut" eillJ ture of corn than the plains of the West. The Kxposition was the climax of tho 1 GO.000,000 bushels increase in the corn production of the Sbnth. The Kxposition shows, most especially, that the boys of the South have become great farmers, and that they are capah'e of teaching their fathers new methods. It shows that at last the farmer has adopted Intelligent methods and is not following the j trail left by cotton. The Kxposition was a great success, and it is only a nucleus of what is to be next year, and in the years to come. The Exposition was a success from every standpoint. There was a large attendance of farmers from the thr?e States taking part and by Columbians, who are interested in the upbuilding of the State along material lines. All were surprised at tho large number of exhibits and the fine corn. There are over 7 00 Individual exhibits. The executive committee of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, meeting Wednesday, discussed plans for a gredt Southern corn show for next year. The plan will be consummated. Even lower rates will be secured over all of the railroads, and there will be many festivities in connection with the Exposition. President Herbert, of the Chamber of Commerce, is very enthusiastic and wPl lend every effort to see that Columbia's part in the success of the next Exposition is carried out. There were two important and educational speeches made Wednesday at the Exposition. The first speech was by O. B. Martin, assistant to Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, of the United States farm demonstration work. He told of the work of the Roys' Corn Clubs in the South and of the wonderful results that have been obtained in tliis State. He praised the press for the assistance in bringing about the great wave of agitation for corn production in the South. The next speaker was Ira W. Wil Hams, State agent of the United States for farm denVo'UBtration' work. He also gave credit to the press for the assistance rendered the movement and especially thanked the business men of this an 1 other States, who have so liberally contributed prizes for the Corn Exposition. Wednesday night there were addresses by Commissioner Watson and L. O. i Crauh. Tri charge of the Hoys' Corn , Club work in North Carolina. The prizes for the hoys' com show, hel.i; !? . *v co'inee ,?n wi h the Corn Exposition were awarded Wednesday. The prizes ngg-.egate several hundred dol'ars.
