To Ask Cash of.Uncle Sam.
Columbia, Special. - Postmaster
Huggins, of Columbia, and Internal
Revenue Collector Micah Jenkins'
have both said that if the present!
financial stringency keeps up they !
will petition the Federal government
to send them the cash to meet the |
pay rolls, which total over $75,000
mouthly, instead of " paying off as"
usual in checks, this in order to re-i
lieve the situation in this State ; but i
the government gave evidence in ad- '
vices received that it will not lend
assistance down this way. Now
whether thc request of Messrs. ling
gins and Jenkins, if made, will be
granted, cannot be said. But it is
a fact that thc government is not
accepting cheeks. The two local de-1
positories of the government in this
city, tho Carolina National Bank and
the Palmetto National Bank, have
been required by thc government to?
ship currency to Washington for the
balances due there, instead of checks
as - heretofore. In the past it has
been the custom to send checks on
New York for currency due the Fed
eral Treasury, but Washington offi
cials say that New York is short of
currency and is not shipping any and
That, therefore, gold or currency must
be forthcoming from Columbia. These
two depositories are used by the post
office and the revenue office. Thc rev
enue collections in this State amount \
to about haif a million dollars an- '
.nually and the receipts from the sale i
of postal money orders and oihcr-i
such items amount to several thous- !
and dollars a day. These Columbia
banks are depositories for these
funds, not only for the Columbia post
office but for the State generally. j
Mr. G| L. Anderson Chosen to Man-!
a?e Cotton Mill.
Williamston, Special.-The election
of Mr. G. Lang Anderson to promote
the new cotton mill at Blacksburg
was very gratifying to his friends as
a worthy tribute to a capable mill
mau, though his friends in William
ston regret that it will result in the
removal of himself and his family
from this town, where Mr. Anderson /
has spent the greater part of his life.
The promoters of the new mill were
veiy fortunate in securing Mr. An
derson ns/administrative head of the
new enterprise, for he will take into;.
his new office^ the experience^^ef a! ,
^t?nl>?r<??"??aT^??? an official of the
Williamiston mills, one of the most
successful factories in the State. Bc-1
sides, Mr. Anderson has a large ac-1
quaintance among mill men and fin-?
anciers in the North, and this influ
ence wid bear an appreciable effect
upon any institution with which he
may he connected. i

Blackville, Special.-Herbert Gar

quently this caused alarm in the fam
ily and it devloped that thc dog was
affected with rabies. Dr. Nevils, thc
young man's uncle, packed the dog's
head in ice and took herbert and the
dog's head on the nest train to Pas
teur instite of Atlanta, Ga. The phy
sicians there pronounce the case one
of genuine rabies, but say they only
lose one case in 200, so young Gar
vin's, relatives here are more hope
ful of his case.

At Bamberg Court.
Bau.berg, Special.-The court of
general sessions has finished up its
criminal docket. Although the work
of the criminal court has not con
tinued many days several cases of in
terest have been disposed of. The
case of John Anderson, charged with
the killing or at least complicity in
the killing of Willie Cutter, at Mid
way, aleut a year and a half ago, re
sulted in a verdict of manslaughter.
He was sentenced to 20 years in the
penitentiary. This case has excited
considerable interest. Cutter, thc
white mail connected with the pony
show which was exhibiting at Mid
way, went out of the tent to stop
some -negroes \vho were apparently
trying to see in the tent without paj'
ing the admission fee. He became in
volved in a row and was shut, dying
a few hours later. Thc crime was 11
laid at thc door of Isiah Bartley and
John Andcrsson. Bartley was caught t
and was convicted of manslaughter i
last year, but had appealed and is out i
on bond. Doc Nelson, the somewhat t
famous breakaway, has been re-sen- ?
tenced to Jiang, the hanging being set t
for December (j. Kelson was convict- i
ed nt the last tenn>o| court and sen- :
tenced to hang, but appealed and his i
sentence was stayed pending thc ap- f
peal, and it was during this time that [
lie was caught in two attempts to es- t

President Invites Governors
to Meet With Him

MUST CONSERVE RCSOURCES
The Subject For ""Consideration is the
Question-of Means to Conserve the
Conntry'b- Natural Resources-We
Are Prosperous Now, the Chief
Executive Declares, But it is Time
to Halt and Take a Reckoning.
Washington, Special.-President
Roosevelt lins invited the Governors
Df the Stai.es and Territories to meet
bim at the White House May 13th,
L4th and ' loth nest, to discuss the
question of means to conserve the
aatural resources of the country,
invitation* are to be extended to the
members of both houses o? Con
gress and. to the inland waterways
commission. The importance and
nanner in .which" the subject is to bc
.considered: are indicated in the
President's letter to the Governors,
vhieh was made public at tfifc White
3ouse. The letter follows:
"The natural. resources of the
;erritory of tho United States were,
it the tin\e of settlement, richer,
nore varied a'nd more available than
hose of aiiy other equal area on thc
surface o.t'the earth. The develop"
nent of these resources has given
is for more than a ceatury a rate
if increase in 'population and wcali.li
i nd reamed of by the nun win
ounded our government and without
)arallel in history. It is obviou.
hat the prosperity which we now
m joy rests directly UTX)U those rc
ources. Jt. it equain; obvious that
he vigor and success which we dc
ire and foreste for this nation in the
tature must have this as its ultimate
oaterial basis.
"In view of these evident fawts, it
eems to me time for thc country
o take account, of its natural re
ourees, and to inquire how loti?
hey are likely to last. We are
)rosperousinow; we should not for
get that it will be just as im
>ortant to our descendants to be
?rosperous, in their time as it is to
is to be properous in-our time.
"Recently I expressed the opphuon
hat there is no other question now
lefore thc nation of equal gravity
ritb. the question of the conservation
f our narara! resources ; and I added
hat it is 'the plain duty of those of us
rho, for"the moment, are responsible
o make inventory of tho natural re
ources which have been handed down
o us ? to forecast as well as wo may
be need;- of the future,,, and so to
ai?d?b ils^rreat sources of jar pros
lerity as not to destroy in advance
ll hope of the prosperity of our des
endants.
"It is evident' that--the abundant
atura! vresources,,dn which the wel
ara of this-Ktrtion rests arc be
oming depleted, and in not a few
ases are already exhau? ted. This
3 true of all portions of Jthe United
?tates; it is especially true of the
ast. The gravity of the situation
mst, I believe, appeal with special
orce to the Governors of the states
ecause of their close relations to
he people and their responsibility
or thc welfare of their communities
have therefore decided, in ac
ordance with thc susgest:.on of the
aland waterways commission, to ask
he Governors of thc Stater, and
'erritories to meet at tie While
louse on May 13th, 14th and 15th
o confer with the Pneid^nt :;nd
rith each other upon the conserva
ion of natural resources.
"It gives me great pier sure to in
ite you to take part in this con
erence. I should be gi id to have
ou select three citizcrjs to ac
ompany you and to attend tho eon
erence as your assistants or ad
isers. I shall also invite the Sena
ors and Representatives of the
ixtieth Congress to he presen! at
lie sessions so far as iheir duties
-ill permit.
"The matters to bc considered at
Iiis conference are not ' confined to
ny vejrion or jj^roup ol' States, but
re of vital concern to the nation
s a whole and to all the people,
'hese subjects include the uso and
onservation of thc mineral re
ources, the resources of the land
nd the resources of the waters in
very part of our territory.
"In order to open discussion 1
ball invite a few recognised au
liorieties to present brief descrip
ions of actual facts and conditions,
.ithout argument, leaving the confer
nce to deal with each topic as it
lay elect. The members of the in
Hid waterways commission will be
resent in order to share with me the
enefit of information and su<rges
ion, and if 'desired, to set forth
heir provisional plans and con
tusions.
"Facts, which I cannot gainsay,
orce me to believe vthat tho con
ervation of our natural resources i>
he most weighty question now be
ore the people of thc United States
.p this is so, thc proposed conf?rence
riiich is thc first of its kind, will b
mons the most important gather
igs in our history in its effect upo:
lie welfare of all our people.
"I earnestly hope, my dear Gov
mor, that you will find it possibl'
3 be present.
"Sincerely yours.

Wshington, Special.-A new star
was added to the American flag Sat
urday-by the admission formally into
the Union of the State of Oklahoma.
President Roosevelt at 10:1G o'clock

mation admitting the territories of

ly as one of the American Stales.

mony which meant so much to the

Will Issue Panama Bonds.
Washington, Special. - Secretary
Cortelyou has %ade the important an
nouncement that, as a means of af
fording relief to thc financial situa
tion, thc Treasury would issue $50,
000,000 of Panania bonds and $100,
000,000 certificates of indebtedness,
or so much thereof as may be neces
sary. Thc certificates will run for
one year and bear 3 per cont interest.
The Secretary's action in coming to
thc relief of the financial situation
meets with President Roosevelt's
hearty approval, and the plan is the
outcome of the several While House
conferences which have been held
within thc past few days when the
financial situation was under consid
eration. Secretary " Cortelyou says
that thc Panama bunds will afford
most substatial relief, as the law pro
vides that they may be used as a
basis for additional national bank cir
culation. He also, states that the pro
ceeds from the sale of certificates can
be made directly available at points
where the need is most urgent, and
especially for the movement of the
crops which, he says, "if properly ac
celerated will give the greatest relief
and result in the most immediate fin
ancial returns." The Secretary calls
attention to thc attractiveness of the
bonds and certificates as absolutely
safe investments.

The Love Note irr"F'Iction.
There is something irritating and at
the same time fascinating in the dom
inance of thc note cf love in Western
novels. Few have not felt at soma
time in their lives the responsive echo
in their own nature even to the "crud?
est love story; passion In some de.
grce is universal; we are all Involved
and there is no escape; hence tho
novel, no matter of what material* .
it is built up, pays tribute to thj
primary law of man's nature by giv
ing precedence In finality to love.
