? The committee on federation of
the Presbyterian churches of the
United States, met In the First Presbyterian
church of Charlotte last Wednesday.
The meeting was organized
by the election of the former officers,
who served the committee at the last
meeting, held In Pittsburg, Pa. Dr. J.
R. Searle of New Brunswick. N. J.,
is moderator and Dr. J. D. Steele of
Passaic, N. J., secretary. Immediately
after the organization, the question
arose as to whether representatives of
the press should be admitted to the
nieeiinjs 01 me evnuuum. ?v ><??
Anally decided that if the press be admitted,
all articles should be censored
before published in the local papers
or sent out. In his report, Dr. Steele,
the secretary, stated that the churches,
with few exceptions, are in favor of
federation, some favoring a move conditionally.
? Boston, March 14: The Phoenix
Line steamer. British King, from
Antwerp to New York, foundered at
sea last Sunday. Twenty-eight out of
fifty-six persons on board are known
to have been saved. The first news
of the disaster was brought here today
by the Leyland liner Bostonlan.
The disaster was caused by oil barrels
and other wreckage, which had
been washed overboard, being thrown
against the hull by the waves until
an opening was made through which
the water poured. The Bostonlan
brought seventeen survivors. Eleven
others are known to have escaped
and were picked up by the German
Monnholm HflmhllrB tO
New York. The survivors say there
is little doubt that the twenty-eight
missing have perished. Captain
O'Hagan of the British King was
rescued by the Bostonian, but died
later from injuries. The rescue was
made wilh great peril.
? Honolulu. March 13: The officers
of the steamer Sierra, which has arrived
here from Sydney. X. S. W.,
via Samoa, reported that the eruption
of the volcano on the Island of
Savaii, of the Samoan group, continues
on a large scale. Three villages
have been completely destroyed.
including Malaeola, where was located
the finest cocoa plantation on
the Island. The residences of A.
King and O. Barleley have been reduced
to ruins and are a total loss.
The lava from the volcano is flowing
into the ocean in a stream threequarters
of a mile wide and twenty
feet deep, at the rate of twenty feet
an hour. At night a solid wall of
molten lava, five miles long, can be
seen reaching far out into the sea.
For some distance the sea water is
boiling and the surf breaking over
the fiery stream. The government
recently chartered the steamer Maori
to remove women and children from
fvrkrio c\f
? New York, March 13: A terrifying
experience at sea was reported
by the French Line Steamer Hudson,
which arrived here today. During
the storm which swept the Atlantic
last Friday afternoon and evening the
336 steerage passengers on the steamer
became panic stricken and were
quieted only after the captain and
first officer had threatened them with
revolver and knife. Both barometer
and thermometer fell rapidly and a
terrific gale rolled up great seas.
When the storm was at its worst,
the steerage passengers became panic
stricken and sought to go on deck,
insisting that if they must die they
wanted to meet death in the open.
The stewards and minor officers lost
control of the passengers and appealed
to the captain for assistance. CapJuham
and first officer Mehausas,
who were on the bridge, hurried to
the steerage quarters and attempted
to pacify the terrorized passengers.
First they assured them there was
no danger, then theatened them and
finally drew revolvers and knives and
threatened to use them unless the
passengers became quiet. Order was
finally restored. Soon afterwards the
storm abated. Capt. Juham said that
the storm, while it lasted, was the
most severe he ever saw in his thirty
years experience at sea.
? Manila, March 13: Major General
Wood, who has returned here after
the battle of Dajo on the Isle Jolo,
where several hundred natives were
exterminated by American troops,
talked to day about the tight with
the Moros. He admitted that many
native women and children were
killed in the engagement and while
he deplored the fact, it was unavoidable."
The women fought side by side
with the men and Moro children were
used as shields of the warriors. The
Moros in fight. General Wood declared,
were absolute fanatics. When
the men of the ambulance corps tried
to administer to the injured, the natives
would feign death and when
the ambulance men would approach
them, they would spring up and try
to slash the Americans with their
knives. As the troops were nearing
the summit of Mount Dajo many of
the fanatics leaped over the precipice
upon the troops, some of whom
succeeding In seizing the soldiers and
rolling with them down the declivity.
The majority of the casualities to the
troops of General Wood were caused
by spears and krlsers and it was impossible
to save many of the Moros
after the fight began, because they
absolutely scorned surrender and
many fought the surgeons after they

had Deen piaceu upon m?table.

? A story has just leaked out here,
says a Guthrie dispatch of the 10th
instant, to the New York World, in
regard to President Roosevelt's lobowolf
hunt in Oklahoma last spring,
when he was accompanied by Cecil
Lyon of Texas, and J. ft. Abernathy,
whom he recently appointed United
States marshal of Oklahoma. The
facts have been bottled up ever since
the hunt, until during a banquet,
which was given recently by the citizens
of Frederick in Abernathy's
honor, when half the population of v
the town were telling experiences \
and incidents of the president's trip, t
It was related that during one of
their long chases after wolves, Roose- i
velt and Abernathy were compelled I
to enter a farmer's corn Held in order I
to follow a tieelng lobo. They dls- u
mounted and were about to remount j
after passing through a fence when <.
the farmer appeared on the scene, s
"Here, you fellows, get out of this i
field," angrily exclaimed the farmer.
"You have no right in here, and be- c
sides, you are tramping down my d
corn. Get out of here or I'll have you 1
arrested." Not wishing to advance
further against the irate farmer's orders.

YORKVILLE, S. C.: c
r
FRIDAY, MARCH 10, I'lOfi. j
There. has been a good deal of
9
criticism of General Wood-on account ~
of the butchery of the women and f
children in the recent battle with the g
Moros on Mount Dajo, island of Jolo; I'
but somehow we are unable to see J
that this criticism is altogether just. c
We are not disposed to criticise Gen- I;
eral Wood's critics. There is no ,
R
doubt of the fact that there Is some- {
thing horrible in the idea of massa- g
cring women and children even in t
battle. Men endowed with the ordi- ?
nary instincts of humanity would re- f
volt from such a crime under almost o
any circumstances. But we are told
it was the Moros who took these ,,
women and children into this strong- p
hold with them, and clothed as men
most of the women fought as ferociously
as did their husbands, broth- c
ers and sons. Possibly the Moros s
had right on their side. Unless they *
are outlaws out of touch with the r
majority of their fellow countrymen. t
they have right on their side. There ?
is no question of that. It Is proper j|
that they should fight for their lib- b
... "".1 ln/1onanHt>nr>p as longf aS ?
f ll> anu lUUVfyv
they think that is the right thing to p
do. The merit of their cause is not n
in the least affected by their hopeless- h
ness. But if they put their women ^
and children in a position to be killed |,
along with themselves, who is to s
blame? Certainly not the American j
soldiers or their commanding officers. n
They could only obey the sovereign e
authority at home, and to have at- "
tempted to have saved the lives of '
the women and children In question a
would not only have resulted in the s
sacrifice of their own lives, but the be- ^
trayal of the government they rep- p
resent. So, however the situation h
may be deplored, let us not blame the v
soldiers or even General Wood. a

TILLMAN'S RATE REPORT. E
y
t
South Carolina Senator Represents v
Alarming Situation. e
Senator Tillman on Wednesday presented
to the senate his report from
the committee on inter-state com- _
merce on the house railroad rate bill. r
which expressed his views but did not 0
pretend to speak for any other mem- n
ber of the committee. n
He believed the bill should be ?
amended, but that the amendments
should not impair or prevent the ac- p
complishment of its objects, which are p
set forth the best, he says in the pres- d
ident's message. ii
He emphasizes the need of regarding p
the measure as non-partisan, but pre- t
dieted that the issue will be paramount
in the next presidential election.
As to the effect he said: o
"Those who are responsible for the (
delay or inadequate legislation will q
find when at last the flood gates of p
popular wrath and indignation are e
hoisted there will have been some c
fine grinding done." j
He reviewed the circumstances re- \
porting the bill by the committee, say- e
ing the senators who concurred in re- P
porti ig it favorably agreed as to the n
geinral purpose of the bill, but there r
are radical differences among them as r
to the amendments. s
?!ii?i the most essential change p
in the bill from existing laws regulut- a
ing eomtneree was the provision etn- 0
powering the interstate commission to ^
fix the rates around which the conten- c
tlon has arisen. He said the final de- e
termination of the question must be j
made by the supreme court. He had v
not the slightest doubt that it is pos- t
slide to properly amend the bill so as c
to prohibit the circuit court from in- a
terfering with the orders of the interstate
commerce commission by any g
interlocutory order. This question, g
also he said, must be determined by p
the court.
Summing up the situation he said:
"It is impossible to deny that this
great accumulation of wealth in the S
hands of the few is such a menace to e
liberty that an honest patriot stands n
appalled by the outlook." a
He said the provision in the bill giv- o
ing the interstate commerce commis- a
slon power to determine a "Fairly re- I:
munerative rate." should be stricken s
out as it was too elastic and amblg- 1
uous. b
Tillman recommended that amend- o
ments to the bill be adopted which t
would give relief to "the anomalous v
and outrageous condition of affairs '
disclosed as existing in West Vir- 5
ginia," t

WILD TALK IN LONDON.
? r
Sensationalists Try to Make it Appear t
That Albert Edward Is For War. *
Sinister rumors, which are causing
some um ashless in Vienna, have been
discussed in diplomatic circles for the
past day or two. It was announced in
Vi? una Wednesday, according to a
London dispatch, that King Edward
will go to Alitivari, the port of Montenegro.
in April, to make a short visit
to Prince Mirko, second son of the
reigning Prince of Montenegro, and
will witness a military mobilization.
This seems innocent, although the story
goes that this is the lirst movement
in a gigantic international game.
There is 110 standing army in Monte- ,,
negro, hut King Edward's visit will
give an excuse for mobilization with- ,
out exciting suspicion. As soon as the ^
troops are nady the coup d'etat fhat ,
lias been foreshadowed in these dis- .
patches will lie executed. King Peter. (
of Servia. and his family will lie re- ,
moved, and Prince Mirko proclaimed
king of that country, with Montene- j
glial) assistance if necessary. Austria ,
would protest against making Prince y
Mirko king, but Italy would support s
him. A rupture is likely to ensue and j
tin- triple alliance broken, leaving Ger- i
many even more isolated. r
King Edward will go afterward to
Abazz.v and act as peacemaker, with 7
the ultimate idea of the establishment ,!
of mi Italian-British protectorate over j
tlie Balkans. It is sufficient evidence ?
of the feverish condition of European
politics that such a plot sis this re- j
reives serious consideration in certain ;|
circles. Utterly unscrupulous diplo- t
macy might find strong motives for si t
macchiavellian scheme like this in the s
situation which recently confronted j
Great Britain. It seems then to some ,,
British statesmen that the struggle
between Germany and Great Britain j,
was inevitable as soon as the former's p
naval development was complete. It
vas obviously to Great Britain's advantage
to hasten the crisis in order
o profit by English naval supremacy.
Therefore, says Continental alarmsts,
what more natural than that
England should cripple the triple aliance
by some plan like the foregoing,
ind crush Germany, with French, and
arhaps Russian help. Hence, they
ry also that "league of peace," deer
i bed in the dispatches on Sunday,
s really a league of war.
It would not be necessary to chroniie
this wild talk, except that a great
leal of it is likely to be heard while
he balance of power remains upset.
SPECIAL TERMS OF COURT,
iovemor Hevward Will Not Call Them
So Readily as Heretofore.
Governor Heyward is going to shut
lown tight on this special terms of
ourt evil which the last legislature
o emphatically disapproved of and
ut off appropriation, for he finds out
le has authority In law to do so.
Vhen the legislature before the last
tassed the ten circuit bill, providing
or two more judges and two more
olicitors, it was promised by the adocates
of the bill that special terms
md special judges would be a thing
if the past, but the evil has continued
rlthout abatement.
Solicitor Timmermai, of the loal
circuit, in a letter received today
isks the governor for a special term
or Richland, but this will not be
xanted unless Assistant Attorney
leneral Youman-s, who is just now
>ut of the city, gives an opinion that
t is obligatory upon the governor to
irder the special term upon such a
equest. The special term is desired
o dispose of the county graft cases
,nd the case of embezzlement against
)aniel Zimmerman. But the letter
,1ves no reason. It says:
"Dear Sir?As provided In Section
74. Volume 1. Code of Laws of South
'arollna. I hereby make application
or a special term of the court of
feneral sessions, to be held in Richand
county, commencing the second
londay in April, and to continue two
I'eeks, and ask that you appoint and
ommission some man learned in the
aw to hold said extra term."
Thl's is the first application of the
;ind since the legislature adjourned.
Tpon the decision of the attorney
general hangs the fate of special
erms of court through the state.
Jovernor Heyward says he will not
o fiiStro rmt of his contingent
O.J a. ju.Jp,x- ? _
unds, that If it is decided he must
rder a special term he will simply
ire-sent the bill to the legislature, and
t Is strongly probable that the legislature
will refuse to order the bill
aid.
McLatrin For the Cabinet.?Reently
there have been many expresions
of opinioii from the south in faor
of having a southern man in the
ablnet. That section has had no repesentative
in the cabinet since H. A.
lerbert of Alabama and Hoke Smith
f Georgia retired.
The renewed talk of cabinet changes,
he report that Secretary Taft may
e appointed a justice of the supreme
ourt, that Secretary Hitchcock may
etire in the summer and that Secreary
Wilson may give up the departlent
of agriculture almost any time,
as led to considerable discussion of
he name of former Senator John L.
IcLaurin of South Carolina for a place
a the cabinet. When he was in the
enate, Mr. McLaurin was noted for
he broadness of his views. He coined
he phrase "Commercial Democrat"
leaning the Democrat who was broad
nough to rise above party environlent
and look after the south's marrial
interests.
President McKinley offered the sentor
a place in the Philippine commision,
and President Roosevelt offered
Im a place on the court of claims. At
hat time he refused to accept any
ost bicause he desired to be free to
Jentify himself with the industrial deelopment
of the new south.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH. La

remark was really serious, they pressed
him for an explanation.
"I got burnt on the wire, a while un

me tell you." tu
Then Mr. Barnwell went on to ex- Ot

A LOST BOY. E;
The Enquirer is in frequent receipt Va
of copies of newspapers containing ca
marked articles of various kinds and tw
many of these papers go Into the tei
waste basket, for the reason that or- an
dinarily the object sought is the pro- wl
motion of some private Interest at tr<
the public expense. However, It is all
often the case that these articles ap- in)
peal to us, although it seems a slim ha
chance that the reproduction of the eu
fbflowing from the New Harmony
?imes of Posey county, Indiana, will
be of practical benefit, we take
pleasure In complying with the re- ,
quest of the distressed parents: co
"If the editor of every paper in w
the central west will publish these
lines there is no question but what m
Dr. S. L. Byers of Seeleyville, Ind., ca
will recover his little son who was rg|
stolen from his tiome one year ago ,
last May. Dr. Byers has spent his Jentire
resources In search for his fei
child and unless the big-hearted ^
members of the press come to his l
assistance, his son will grow up an
outlaw and an outcast among the co
lowest people of the earth. It is a m(
cause that should appeal to every- .
one and no father reading these lines
can do so without a quickening of ?t(
the heart and a sympathetic throb, ap
It Is believed that if this article is trj
reprinted in the newspapers it will
form an endless chain that will uncover
the lost boy's concealment and on
return him to his distracted parents, va
In doing this the profession of jour- ?g
nalism will be fulfilling one of Its
highest destinies. ,n<
"Publishers whose circulation Sri
touch the Wabash, Ohio and Missis- ,
sippl valleys are especially requested
to reproduce this story of the lost an
child, as Dr. Byers believes the boy ne
Is now on some houseboat waiting to
take' the road in the spring. There
Is a reward of $500, awaiting any in- as
formation that will lead to the boy's ca
recovery. No questions will be asked ne
and If the abductor himself would
deliver the boy to his parents he
would not be molested. The be- on
reaved parents are heart-broken with at)
grief and want only their child. If te,
each journal would reprint these .
lines, they will travel to every ex- De
change table in the United States and he
bring back to a wretched home a Af
r,v.iiri ivhn Ivj no doubt suffering with on
cold, unfed and wretched to a degree.
Think of what your own feelings co
would be under similar clrcum- an
stances! This appeal Is indicted |n<
originally by a publisher who saw u
Dr. Byers only once, has no personal '
Interest in his quest other than the S01
bond of sympathy that makes the aw
world akin, and is inspired from the pa
belief that the lost boy can only be *j
found through the united effort of do
the country press of which he is pr
proud to be a member. His recovery tal
will be a triumph in advertising and tj0
no editor whose heart is placed right .
will refuse this appeal. Remember,
It may be your child next! do
"The following is a description of M
the boy:
"Richmond Byers, if alive, was six 1
Vears old last July: is of light com- ha
plexion. has gray eyes, left eye no- wa
tlceably crossed, has a small V-shap- (.
fd nick on the edge of the left ear,
has a sharp chin and a narrow, pro- 't
lectlng forehead. He is rather small wa
for his age and is unusually bright
and Intelligent. talking after the
manner of a boy much older. he
"Dr. Byers has searched among the sin
roving bands that frequent the Uni- jvii
ted States and believes that his sor .
an be found among traveling junk ,ei
dealers, so-called horse traders or sl"
movers. He does not think the boy agi
was stolen by genuine gypsies. He ,ju
thinks he was taken by a wandering
haiui that used him for begging in l'R
towns along the route." oin

THE CATAWBAS. kn
The Washington correspondent of str
he Greenville News, sends that paper ha
he following with reference to the ef- baj
'orts of the Catawba Indians to get wo
ft*. >,,, Ilia ITnitufl States alo
eeogmnen ii..... ...^
jovernment: coi
Commissioner Leupp, of the depart- Tli
nent of Indian affairs, has recently p,,
nade an exhaustive examination of
he status of the Catawbas now living ?
n South Carolina, and he finds that tlu
his tribe has never made any treaties to
lr agreements with the United States
itid that no aid has been afforded
hem by the government other than '"
hat offered in 1848 by congress, when cla
t appropriated J5.0O0 for the expenses an,
?f their removal west of the Missis- *
dppi, after the president had obtained un'
i home for them among some of the go<
ribes located there. This amount was ^.c
lot used within a reasonable time, and
:ongnss reappropriated it in 1854
Since that time Mr. Finley has made utj
ivertures to the Cherokees to see if Hju
he latter would take in the South
Carolina red skins. No agreement has ' a
;ver been reached in the matter, and vet
does not think that there is much
ssibility at this time of the South
rolina Indians moving to the far
8t to take up their abode with the
?mbers of the Cherokee tribe. The
;ter have not approved the Interngiing
of the two.
Some years ago, P. H. Head, a Cawba,
then living at Sanfoni, Colodo,
submitted to the commissioner
Indian affairs a petition purporting
have been signed by himself and
enty-flve others, embracing six
milies, who claimed to have once reled
in South Carolina, but who have
t for some time been recognized by
r> sfnte nukine to tie united with the
e Indians then living In the Ulnh
reservation, and to be recognized
the government as members of the
e tribe. Nothing came of this atnpt
at a coalition, as It has been the
licy of the government for sometime
abolish the tribal relation of the
dians and to settle each one upon a
?ce of land that he may own. Head
longed originally to the Catawbas of
ineaster county.
Since the South Carolina Catawbas
iled to take advantage of the oppornity
extended them to go west of
e Mississippi, and thus become regnlzed
by the government, it is lmobable
that they will ever be taken
re of, so far as the government Is
ncerned. In their present quarters.
THE CLUB CONTEST.
The annual contest for the premlns

between the fifteenth day of
itober, 1905, and the fifteenth day
March, 1906, came to a close yesrday
afternoon with results thai
?re highly satisfactory to all conrned,
especially to the winners of
e two leading premiums.
The final count showed Mr. Harry

nsisted of 199 names.
The second largest club was that
Mr. J. F. A. Smith, and Included
9 names.
Mr. A. W. McFarland followed l

Mr. Miller gets a fine Columbus top (
iggy worth $85. Mr. Smith gets ,
e best top buggy the Rock Hill i

ased by The Enquirer from
pssrs. Carroll Brothers, with the un- (
rstanding that both of them are '

Mr. McFarland has the right to J

ay have a settlement in cash as he ,
ay prefer. <
The next highest club consisted of I
fhty-four names, and from there j

There is a case of smallpox in jail, j
d the patient is Will Crosby, the (
gro who was committed last Sun- I
y morning for attempted criminal j
sault. Dr. Walker so diagnosed the t

ly other prisoner In Jail, called the \
tention of Sheriff Brown to the mat- ?
\ The negro claimed that there had 1
en chickenpox in the family to which (
belongs and that this is the trouble,

d advising with him, Sheriff Brown j
mmunlcated with supervisor Boyd <
d the Idea Is to hold a conference to )

eriff and physician to decide upon J
me disposition of the case. The (
kwardness of the situation is ap- i

with the negro. Clark the other
isoner, is in more or less danger of j
ting the disease, and to put addi- |
nal prisoners in the Jail under the '
cumstances would be of rather j
ubtful advisability.

v party of officers, consisting of Dep- (j
' Sheriff Quinn of Yorkville, Con- t
ble Andy Quinn, Policeman James s
itoII and Mr. J. M. Hagans of Clo- j
under the lead of Mr. S. M. Falres, h
riaglstrate for King's Mountain townihip,
made a raid into the battleground
neighborhood laat Tuesday night, on 1
i still hunt and met the good luck to
:apture and destroy a first-class dlsllling
outfit. The officers, having goten
information beforehand, went into
he section referred to at about 3
>'clock in the morning, and at the J
joint about which they had been told, 1
'ound signs. There was meal, or 1
ather slop In the branch, indicating (
hat a still had been in operation |
;here within a few days but It was
jone. The officers, however, continued (
:helr search and after a while at a
joint near Clark's Fork, about four
niles from King's Mountain battle- 1
jround, they came upon a thoroughly
quipped distilling outfit, consisting' of
i sixty gallon copper still, a flrst:!ass
copper worm, several good stands '
md about one thousand or twelve
uundred gallons of beer. Sacks piled
lbout indicated the recent consump- j
don of thirty or forty bushels of meal, i
There was nobody about the still at
:he time. After a consultation the
jfflcers decided to conceal themselves i
ind wait for developments. The nearest
place of concealment was in a
fiump of woods several hundred yards
iway, and to this they repaired. Everything
was quiet for some two or
three hours, until about 6.30 o'clock,
when two men were seen coming into ;
dew. The officers remained under
2over until the men had gone to the
still and started a fire. Then they
aine out from their concealment and
moved toward the still; but It was no
jood. The distillers saw them coming
i :r ran away as fast as their legs
iould carry them. The officers followd
but they were no match for the
fleeing moonshiners, and soon gave up i
the pursuit with a few shots Into the
ilr. The distillers could not be recjgnlzed.
The still was brought to
Vorkville, and shipped to Columbia.
SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
? GafTney special of the 12th Instant,
to the News and Courier: The board
jf equalization finished their work here
ast Saturday. They reduced the returns
o.i real estate about 33 per cent,*
claiming that the lower counties were
not returning at near the real value,
md the returns at what they were
would make this section pay more
than Its proportion of the state taxes.
? Anderson special of March 14, to
Greenville News: Messrs. R. S. Galloway
and R. C. Brownlee of Due
West, spent last night and this morning
in Anderson. Their visit was for
the purpose of conferring with the
officials of the Anderson Traction
L-ompany about extending the Interurban
line from Belton to Due West,
by way of Honea Path. As has alK?an
-jfotho nonnlp of Fillp
West are determined to have railroad
communication with the outside
world. They have gone to work and
secured about $24,000 for the purpose,
and are now in a position to
Set what they want. They have three
plans In view: A line from Abbeville
to be controlled by the Seaboard Air
Line; a line to Donalds, to connect
with the Southern, or connection with
the Anderson Traction company at
Bel ton. Mr. Galloway said the people
of Due West preferred the latter,
and were very anxious to make a
Seal by which this connection can be
secured.
? Chester special of March 13, to
Charlotte Observer: Supt. W. H.
Hand, who was last week elected to
a position In the department of pedagogy
in the university of South Carolina,
has decided to accept the place.
At a meeting of the board of trustees
of the Graded schools, held a few days
ago, Mr. Hand was released from the
contract which would have kept him
In Chester for another year. However,
Mr. Hand will complete the present
term in the city schools leaving the
city in the summer so as to be present
at the opening of the University in
September. It is with a feeling of
genuine regret that the people of Chester
part with Mr. Hand, for their confidence
in him as a man and a teacher
is unbounded. Since coming here
about thirteen years ago from Goldst>oro,
he has labored earnestly to make
Chester's schools among the best an
the state and that he has succeeded
there is no doubt. The university
may count Itself fortunate to secure
Mr. Hand's services. He is a born
teacher aid will doubtless prove himself
invaluable In training others to
teach.
? Columbia special of March 13 to
\ugusta Chronicle: Governor Heytvard's
office was crowded for four

before the governor on the question
of his vetoing the act providing
tor a two per cent assessment against
the gross fire premiums of the state
written in incorporated towns, whose
fire apparatus is worth $1,000 or more
tor a benefit fund for the firemen. The
ict has created a great stir among the
fire nsn -ance agencies and the firemen
ind tin; " overnor'8 office has been
flood'J wi'ii letters, asking him to
veto the bill and others pleading with
dim not to do so. Governor Heyward
patiently listened to many speeches,
dut no conclusion was reached, and he
Ikely will not decide what he will
io for several days yet Mr. Augusiino
T. Smythe of Charleston, Senator
Hood of Anderson, and Messrs. A. G.
Fur-man and P. T. Hayne of Greenville
rpoke against the act and Senator von
ftolnitz of Charleston and President
McNeill of the national fireman's association
spoke In favor of It. The Insurance
people argued that the act
,vas unconstitutional In that It taxed
i class for the benefit of a few and
irged that it would raise too much
my way and would necessitate raising
he rates In the towns affected by It.
? The State, Thursday: The state

Irst talked of In the legislature.
There were some which he could not

jrobable, so Gov. Heyward merely
ejected them. The board decided

vhen they are gathered In meeting.
Ml petitions will be sent to the gov rnor,
as Is now done, and after they '
lave been entered on the records, the <

Devoe lead-and-zinc. It takes fewer
gallons than . mixed paints, and it
wears twice as long as lead-and-oll.
