Senato:* Heyburn, of Idaho, "did the country great service In the Senate on Monc*ay when he opposed the Joint resolution authorising the Secretary of War to lend tents to Confederate veterans on the occasion of their annual reunion at Mobile In April. "He was obsessed," says The Sun with the idea that he wai doing a greet public service by his demon? stration igalnst the loan of tents to the vetersns In gray?and he was, an Inestimable service. For he evoked the silent protest of Senators, some of whom had fought on the Union side, that wee unseemly, ungener? ous end Insensate to revive the pain? ful memories of the civil war In a eeetlonel end bitter spirit and the re? buke waa so severe that such a.t ex? hibition Is not Ukly to be seen and herd sgMn In that chamber." The Sun thinks that "that thanks of a united country are due to Mr. Heyburn, of Idaho, in spite of him? self." So do we, and we would sug? gest that the Confederate veterans* who will dwell In the tents during the period of the Mobile reunion, should make fitting acknowledgment of the Idaho Senator's service to their country by passing resolutions Of tbenks to him for railing forth such an expression by the Senate of the United State*. ?

The memorial services held Friday evening In honor of the departed Ma? rlon Moise were beautiful and solemn. Notwithstanding the Inclemency of the weather a very good and appre? ciative congregation assembled and were Interested during the entire ser? vices, and listening to the sweet solos rendered by Mr. Henry Harby. Rab? bi M. Sessler, the pastor of the con? gregation, delivered in his usual earn? est and eloquent way, the memorial sermon upon the subject: "How to Remember the Dead." Reading from Samuel 2nd. verse 23: "The beloved and the dear In life, are even In their death not devlded." The doctor said. "I shall simply dwell upon the ques? tion. What Marion Moise was to Tem? ple Slnal Congregation, and what a great loss the Congregation sustained in him who ao conatantly guarded the lntereat and welfare of the congrega? tion. In order to honor the memory of the departed Marlon Moise it la in? cumbent upon this congregation for some one to raise his voice saying, I shall henceforth lead, and seek to emulate hla great example?his nobleneaa of character, hla purity of thought, hla lofty aspirations, his hon? esty of purpose, his love of God and humanity.' The one who will carry out these examples, the very one will help to perpetuate the name of Marlon Moise to Temple Slnal everlastingly." In conclusion the doctor prayed for hla future bliss and happiness, and reminded the mourners and all pres? ent to atrlctly Identify themselves with the goodness, kindness und no? bleness which he left behind him and which will also help to remember the departed Marlon Molae.

(;? Feb. 16.?That the railroads are giving much atten? tion to the upbuilding of the South is evident to all who have given the subject consideration. Necessarily, the work of a railroad company who does not possess a land grant must be general in its* scope in order to serve all the districts its lines repre? sents. The recent campaign of Dr. S. A. Knapp, of the Federal Govern? ment, which was made under the aus? pices of the Southern Ralway Com? pany, is but one of the many moves by that company looking to the bet? terment of farm conditions In the South. The lecture tour referred to comprehends more than Is generally supposed. Every Southern State reached by the Southern Railway was visited, and the several masterly, practical talks made by Dr. Knapp, will be far-reaching in their effect. Many thousand farmers and others In the States visited were reached either directly or Indirectly, through the press, and thereby stimulated to practice better methods of farming, j Mr. M. V. Richards, the Land and Industrial Agent of the Southern Railway, who suggested and organ? ized the tour, in discussing the pur? poses and effects of the trip, said: "The Southern Railway Company has for years endeavered to do its part in promoting the further de? velopment of the country along Its lines. Its policy Is to treat all sec? tions alike, co-operate with the people In every country in their effort to build up the country. The farming sections have not been overlooked. The Railway Company realizes the value of a full development of ihe rural districts In order to Potain the best deveioument of the towns and eitles wh'ch serve the country" Mr. Rljhnrdson rightly advocates the importance of the town people j and the country people standing close together if the best results for all are to be obtained, and this recent trip tends to bring closer harmony be? tween all classes. The merchant, manufacturer, and farmer alike, were interested in the talks made during th trip. Mr. Richardson says that while the towns have a power- j ful attraction for the people on the farms he believes that feeling Is at a I minimum In the South, and that his company, especially, has in view pro moting a sentiment among the peo pie to "stick to the farm." He argues I that the South will again be the great farm home section of the United I States. "The South Is the ideal large and small farm home region; the I standard of comfort and happiness I la found to be higher and mor?? gen- I eial In the South than elsewiiere on account of the attractive features of the rural home surroundings, In the country. Only those who have had I to do with th practical side of pro moting development of the South appreciate the obstacles which have stood in the way of advancing the I best interests of those already estab? lished in the South and drawing I others to that section. We desire to Inculcate in the minds of every young farmer in the South the idea that he should buy a piece of land and in? telligently and industriously work his own holdings; that he should also be Impressed with the Impor? tance of cultivating well a small area rather than farming poorly a large place. "The avenues are numerous for obtaining reliable information con? cerning how to farm and make a profit, 80 that unsuccessful farmers In the South should be the rare ex? ception."

Senator Williams Denounced Gag Law Tactics of the Senator From Marl, boro.?Warm Colloquy Last Night. The State. Feb. 17. The discussion of the asylum bi'l offered by the minority of the com? mittee appointed by the general as? sembly to Investigate conditions at the State Hospital for the Insane, was continued in the senate yesterday morning. When the senate adjourned last night the resolution asking for the resignation of the superintendent and the boarJ of regents of the insti? tution was yet the topic under dis? cussion, and very little else had been done. Five speeches were made yesterday, and the arguments not yet concluded. Senator Bates opposing the passage of the bill, told of what he saw as a member of the investigating commit? tee. The senator from Barnwell spoke for an hour In discussing the testi? mony and the personal observations of the committee at the Insan? asy? lum and denounced the management. Senator Weston defended Dr. Bab cock, the superintendent and the ad? ministration. Commencing his argu? ment before the recess for noon, the senator from Rlchland resumed last night and urged the senate to exon? erate Dr. Babcock and the board ol regents of the charges brought against trem. Before Senator Weston finished his speech the question had ' been changed from that of passing the minority bill to that of passing the resolution from the Judiciary com? mittee. Senator Hardin, one of the com? mittee to Investigate the asylum and one who signed the minority report and Introduced the bill In the senate that was until last night the subject under discussion opposed action dero gatoray to the gentlemen in charge of the asylum. The senator from Chester said that Dr. Babcock is one of the great men of South Carolina and time will see a monument erected commemorating his goodness. Senator Sinkler urged the passage of the resolution requesting the resig? nations. Mr. Sinkler said that with reluctance he was forced to crltlclslze the actions of those In charge of the asylum for the insane of South Caro? lina. Senator Graydon concluded the argument for the night, with another speech denouncing the conduct of the Insane asylum. Mr. Graydon read from the report of the board of health and said that this in itself exposed the hospital authorities. When the bills from the house were disposed of last night, Senator Wes? ton who was speaking when the sen? ate adjourned in the afternoon, called for the bill he was discussing this bill being a special order. Senator Rogers moved to take up the resolution from the Judiciary committee. After oppo? sition this was done, and Senator Rog? ers then moved to lay the resolution on the table. This caused a heated discussion to arise. Senator Graydon demurred, saying that resolution had not been discussed at all. Senator Christensen said that he must protest, and that this was unprecedented, and he never saw debate cut off by a sen? ator making a motion to table in this way. Senator Williams in a vigorous, al? though brief speech, urged the senate to vote down the motion to table. "Do you wish to gag us?" said the senator from Lancaster, addressing the sena? tor from Marlboro. Mr. Williams In? sisted that the other senator would have to withdraw the motion so that the resolution could be discussed. Sen? ator Williams continued that he would appeal to the senate not to al? low a "gag law" in the senate of South Carolina. The speaker said while he was not physically able to make a speech on the resolution al? though he had intended doing so, other senators intended to speak. Sen? ator Williams was interrupted by the ?enator from Marlboro who said he wished to make an explanation of why he made the motion to table. Senator Williams said he would yield to the senator if he intended to with? draw the motion, accompanied by an explanation. Just here the two sen? ators Indulged in a few remarks that injected life Into proceedings that have been exciting all the way through. The senator from Lancas? ter Insisted that the motion be with? drawn, and the senator from Marl? boro stated that he would withdraw it. but not at the dictation of Senator Williams. Finally Senator Williams yielded) and Senator Rogers eald he had made the motion t ) table be? cause he had beard many senators ?ay the matter had been discussed enough. The motion was withdrawn: and Senator Weston resumed his argumenta, speaking on the resolu? tion now instead of the minority bill as was the case before dinner, j The senate proceedings are exciting ! more interest than any legislation of the term, not excepting the bill regu? lating the law in regard to the cue tody of children which excited mote than State-wide interest. The gal? leries and bails of the senate chanv ber were crowded with an interested audience throughout the day, the crowd at the night session blocking the aisles. Senator Graydon, who made the opening argument in the case, was the last speaker last night. Senator Graydon said he would reply to Sen? ator Weston, and in making his reply Wig going to take the senator's own ammunition?the report of the State board of health and the State Hospi? tal for the Insane. The senator read from this report In many places and a running fire of questions was kept ip by other sen? ators, who were also provided with such reports. Saying that the insane asylum had been awarded thousands of dollars more than they asked for during the last 10 years, the senator from Abbeville again sternly critici? zed the management of the insane asylum. Debate will probably be concluded and a vote taken on the matter to? day. It is probable that only two more discussion may arise this morn? ing. A SEVERE ARRAIGNMENT. Senator Huger Slnkler's Speech on Asylum Resolutions. Columbia, Feb. 17.?Senator Huger Sinkler, of Charleston, for 14 years a member of the general assembly, last night replied to Senator Hardin and declared that there is wrong at the State hospital. He said: "Mr. President, many measures of vital importance to commercial and political history have vexed the minds of this senate, but none so su? preme, so solemn as the question pre? sented to us by this resolution. In this hall we have fought for and against those who could battle for their rights, those whom we could strike and those who could strike against us. The mailed hand of pub? lic power has defied us, the strength of political unity and organization may have persuaded us. "Even the child, the brother or sister of any legislator can come to him and pour out his legislative wants but, sir, the gibbering of the idiot, the cries of the maniac, the pit? iful protest, can and only can be heard and echoed and reechoed vainly in their cells and corridors. "Centuries and centuries ago a sore wounded wayfarer was on the way? side stricken. A proud priest passed by. A Levite passed him by but a Samaritan stopped, and the question then and there 'who is my brother' was answered and its echo Is with us today'. I feel, Mr. President, the re? sponsibility I assume. I feel that some one has done a wrong, and my belief is based upon the Immutable records that will be empaneled forever In the archives of this State. "Eanish all prejudice, forget all friendships, however, loyal it is and commendable, put aside all political feeling and let the record condemn or condone. Sir, I wish I could rise to my feet and urge and vote for a med? al to the superintendent and board of regents for a noble life work. That would give me pleasure. But I can not do It. "There It stands in that record that men bereft of reason covered with vermin, cruelly treated, aye and to go down almost to the degradation of human nature, the records show that for amusement these poor helpless beings were teased and badgered by the inhuman attendants. What after all Is the defense, one word?econ? omy "BIr. President, we all will shortly leave these halls. This body in a few dayi will never meet together with its same personnel. Whenever the per? sonal equation is involved, whether It be individually or as a mass, always conies bitterness and dissension. "Mr. President, I disclaim absolute? ly e.ny feeling of malice, but I am firm, sir, in my convictions that from all I have heard, if I did I would do more gross injustice to that institu? tion and to the people of South Caro? lina to vote against this resolution than for it." In a personal letter to the Editor, Dr. Chas. W. Stiles says: 'The fact has come to my attention that at least three firms are advertising proprietary (popularly known as 'patent* or 'secret') medicines for the cure of hookworm disease. Will you kindly inform your readers that the chief drug used in treating hookworm dis? ease is thymol, and that while this can be taken with safety If properly administered, it may cause death if not taken under the proper condi? tions.
