SHERMAN SATES "SHIP SUBSIDY." Tice President Breaks Three Ties in The Senate For First Time in History. Wasington, Feb. 2.-For the first time in the history of the government, the vice president of the United States today exercised his prerogative of a-14ng a vote to break ties in con w-et-on with three successive roll calls in the senate. By the two first of these votes he saved from impend ing ecat the ocean mail, or ship subsid ybill, and by the third forced an adjournment of the senate on a Tote having direct bearing on the res olution looking to the election of sen ators by direct vote of the people. The vote on the ship subsidy bill's passage, both in committee of the whole and in the senate proper, stood 39 yeas -and 39 noes, and on adjourn ment 37 yeas to 37 noes. On all three occasions the vice president voted in the affirmative. New Senator Abse'nt. Another notable occurrence in con nection with the vote on the ship sub sidy billI wa, the absence of the new Democratic senator from West Vir ginia, laCrence W. Watson, who had taken lids seat early in the day as the successor to Senator Elkins. Mr. Wat son was in the senate chamber for only a few minutes during the session and voted on only one roll call. This 'rote was cast on an amendment offer ed by Mr. Shively, of Indiana, regulat ing the expenditures which may be 3made under the terms of the bill. The new West Virginia senator cast his vote in the affirmative, thus indicating is opposition to the bill. The report on this roll call was not so close as to render material the presence or absence of any senator and no notice was taken of the fact that Mr. Watson was not present. Would HaTe Defeated B.1. After the final result became known, the opponents of the bill, in cluding all the Democrats, realized that Mr. Watson's absence had pre vented the defeat of the bill. He was the only Democrat present during any; of the roll calls, whose vote was not cast against the measure.

Dr. Half * ~ acre itroduced us to President K~in ard of the .Commercial bank. We found him possessing a.n interestng' personnel and withal a most affable gen,tleman. The Kinards were famil ar names to me in boyhood days, as I so often heard them spoken of by' parents who knew the large family connection when living in Newberry. It was a pleasure 'to drop in and see Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Carlisle and to: find them in good spirits. We have always enjoyed visiting this home. We were pleased 'to find Mrs. McClintock more vigorous than we had expected and interested in all the work of the church. It was a pleasure likewise to meet again Mr. and Mrs. Parr. The fa~mily connection here again carries us back to our parents. Mr. Parr is: now 'president of one of the Newberry banks. At the National bank we met Mr. Henry Cannon, assistant cashier, and a r.ising young business man. We found Mr. Foster Mar4iin busy as see-. retary and treasurer helping to or-: ganize and get started off the new fac tory at Newberry. Drs. Harms and C.romer inquired: ahent tY~ Due Wcst ~w'c'ns.

We heard his addriess delivered before the bal association at Columbia on last Fri day night very highly spoken of. HE is one of the cleanest and mcst able men in South Carolina. Prosperity. On Friday afternoon we ran down to Prosperity to .do some work for the paper. Mr. Geo. Brown took us in his nice turnout over the town and ar6und to see his school buildng, of which he is very proud. It cost $6, 000. Mr. Brown is quite an aggressive and progressive teacher. The enroll ment of the school is 150. There are seven teachers. A number of board ing pupils, some coming a distance of 25 miles. There are play grounds for the boys who engage in tennis, base ball, and football, and for the girls where they play tennis and basket ball. Mr. Brown is starting a library and a museum. He will approciate gifts for each *of these departments.

We esteemed it a priv ilege to be present on that occasion. Notwithstanding the fact that a carni val was holding forth in the town just across the street from fhe town hall, with a brass band and a merry-go round and a "wild west show," a fine audience came out-to hear the doctor. It was at once a tribute to Dr. Mc Cain, to the town of Prosperity, to the school -and to Prof. Brown. Dr. Mc Cain held the undivided dttention of his audience for about one hour. It proved to be a popular lecture in the highest sense of the word, and one well suited to parents, children and teachers. The doctor adapted his lec ture to the time and the occasion. It was full of fine illustrations, eloquont quotatons and with soul moving pas sages. The doctor received many con gratulations at the close. We stopped with Rev. and Mrs. I. S. Oaldwell while in Prosperity. They occupy one of the best 'and most im posing parsonages in the synod. It is a two story building of eleven rooms, not far from the . church. Brother Caldwell's 'hands are full of work. He is ministering to four ohurches and is the efficient -superintendent of mis sdons. - Well Equipped Newspaper Offices. R. S. Galloway in A. R.
