Price $1.50 a Year, ill JUSTICE ADMITS BEING DRUNK OLD FIGHT IS RENEWED. And Preacher ElHs Falls Dead from Heart Failure* SENSATION IN ALABAMA Charg^ Was Made in Church Paper it Officials Were Boozy at Funeral of Chief Justice. The Rev. J. D. Ellis, editor of Uie •Alabama Christian Advocate,, dropped defad in Birmingham Thursday after noon from heart failure. It was the ry day of his first signal victory ns le editor of the leading religious par er of the state, due to the fact that n Thursday’s issue of The Advocate, Vsscciate Ju'Clce John C. Anderson of the supreme court has an open let ter pleading gxiilty to the charge made in The Advocate last week that he was intoxicated at the funeral of the late Chief Justice Thomas N. McClellan, in Athens, Ala. The deceased became editor of the paper on December 1, last. Previous to that he had been pastor of the Methodist church at Anniston, Deca tur, East Lake and Avondale. He was 29 years old, and leaves a large fam ily. Mr. Ellis last week editorially charg ed Justice Anderson and three other state officials with being intoxicated at the funeral, and the statement has stirred Alabama as few things have in years. Papers in all parts of the state have demanded the resignation of Justice Anderson and other offi cials. Following is a portion of the letter written Mr. Ellis by Justice Ander son, which appears in the issue of The Advocate of current date: "Rev. J. D. Ellis of Birmingham, Ala.—Dear Sir: My attention has just been called to an editorial in the last issue of the Alabama Christian Ad vocate, in which you, as editor, bring cnarges of a very serious nature against certain officials of our beloved state. "So far as it refers to me, it pains me to have to plead guilty in part. On the trip up to Athens, I was greatly depressed over the death of our la mented chief justice. I had contract ed a severe cold, and, besides, my system w r as considerably run-down by a winter’s hard work, and I, unfor tunately, took several drinks, w r hich were, as is the case with any quantity, too much for me. Upon my arrival at Athens, I went to a room in the hotel. I did not go to the house where the body^of tTfg~r»neg jinuin -tay tn tffafff the next day, as 1 felt 'Joo bad, but I did go to the cemetery when the body' of the distinguished dead was laid to rest. At the ceme tery I saw many of your Birmingham citizens, *who, I do not think, will say that I was intoxicated there. “My mortification has been as keen as man could feel over this unfortun ate folly, and your article has but added to my remorse and humiliation. For twenty years, with but few' ex ceptions, I have led a life of almost total abstinence. My young man hood was almost blighted by the whis ky curse, but; by the help of God, I have been saved thus far from fall ing into the depths of ruin, though 1 have tottered upon the brink a few times. “I have been on the bench eleven years, and have never been under the influence of liquor in the slightest when discharging an official duty. Still, I appreciate the fact that all men, and especially public officials, should set a worthy example, whether on duty or not, and I trust and promise by the help of God to commit no act of folly In the future that can re flect upon me as a citizen or bring in question the reputation of an hon orable office bestowed upon me by the good people of my native state." Northern Congressmen Will Again Op pose Bonus for Southern Fast Mail Train. Report is current that the special appropriation or bonus offered by ihe government for the running of the fast mail train to the south, would Aged Couple Plight Troth. Mr. Daniel S. Hull, a citizen of Westminster, and Mrs. Mary Stod- l ave opposition when the subject is i dards of Newberry, have been united FATHER’S PLACE GOES TO SON. Li ought up in congress. Many north ern republicans in congress are back o' this opposition and while they want to cut out the fast mail service to the south,they want to take the money saved in this way and mak^\t pc»v sible for more fast trains to the west. It was also learned that some of the southern members of congress had teen enlisted by the opposition for the- doing away with the fast mail train to the south, although they were rot made aware that the money saved in this way would be used for the running of fast trains to the west. So far as the railroads arc concern ed, officials state that while the bo nus for this fast service is $200,000, the railroads hardly more than pay expenses because of the heavy fines which are imposed whenever this fast train. No. 97, is late. These heavy fines, together with the great cost of maintaining an average speed of 52 miles and running at times up to SO and more miles an hour, eats up this $200,000 bonus, while as the fast mail has the right of way o? all other trains, regular passenger trains have to bo sidetracked and held, and in this wav the regular schedules are inter fered with and the railroads lose. But whether the railroads gain or lose, there is no doubt about the peo ple of the south winning by this fast mail train, which has done much for developing the business interests of the south, and to which the people have become so accustomed that the nater of withdrawing it would mean a terrible blow' at the commercial cir cles of all Dixie. For New Orleans this fast mail train means the saving of twenty four hours, and for other cities to the north of New Orleans in vhis same proportion. Besides this matter of the mail, very many southerners would not oe able to get iheir morning papers pub lished in southern cities until in the afternoon or the next day. The sav ing of twenty-four hours in the mat ter of mail orders in these present • conditions means much to almost ev ery line .of business. It means that orders can be received and sent out the same cay, w'hile with the witli- diawal of the * Midnight Mail,” as the train is known, would make this im possible, and would in most cases mean a delay of tw'o days to the per son sending in the mail order. As '.t is the rapidity with whlcll these mail orders may be sent to business houses -imir-sucrras—•■pspousci mendous growtti or this just kind of business, the injury which wbuld re sult iu the taking off of the fast mail would be hard to even estimate.

LGSTONlRGf' A UN U BUILDING. mittee That New Structure for icle Sam is Badly Needed. A^^khington dispatch says: Rep- resen^Bve Livingston went be fore the conim^^ on public buildings and grcund^«ednesday and made a strong iTgumei^ftn favor of a sufficient ap propriation to erect at Atlanta a new public bunding adequate to provide fer tire government's need. He presented statements of the sec retary of Ufe treasury and of tho judges of the'federal court, and other government oWicials, showing the ne cessity for thv proposed new build- 'ng. ' RATE BILL REPORTED IN SENATE. Measure Formally presented by Senator Tillman end Placed on Calendar. The Hepburn rani road rate bill was reported to the sVnate Monday by Senator Tillman, iii^ accordance with the action of the senate committee on interstate commerce \ last Friday. It was placed upon the calendar. While the bill is nominally shelved for the time being, it Will really take precedence over all ^)ther pendinj measures. House Committee on Agriculture Cuts Out Usual Appropriation. A Washington special says: Over the solid opposition of the southern members, the house committee on ag riculture Wednesday struck from the agricultural appropriation bill all pro vision for purchase of seed for free distribution. This action came as a climax to a hard fight which south ern members made to retain the ap propriation on the ground that It fur nished one of the few' direct benefits the farmeis of the country receive from the government treasury. For a number of years a fight has been made against this free seed proviso, led usually by men representing city districts, but heretofore the agricultu- lai ccmmittee has always included the item in the apfropriation bill and the opponents have been unable to strike it out in Ihe house. Nov/ it has been stricken by the committee, however, the friends of (he appropriation will find it extremely difficult to secure it* insertion when the bill reaches tho house. This year tho department of agriculture made the usual estimate of $252,000 for the purchase of seed for congressional distribution. The subcommittee cut this to $242,000 by a vote of S to 7. Tho full committee struck it entirely. in marriage. Mr. Hull, who is seven ty-six years of age, has been a wddr ower for many years. He has one great grandchild, nearly ten years of age. Mrs. Stoddards is probably slx- j ty years of age. They will mako their home in Westminster. Lawyer H&ld for Bribery. H. G. Millar, representing himself to be an attorney from Chicago, was placed in jail at Columbia on a charge of bribery. He was represent ing three pickpockets arrested in Co lumbia during fair week last Novem ber and offered Deputy Sheriff Cath- cart $200 to get certain states’ wit nesses out of the way. The deputy took the money and later turned it over to the court with a report of the circumstances. Seaboard to Build New Line. It is reported in Charleston that the Seaboard Air Line is to build a road from u point on the Savannah di vision, near Camden, to Charleston giving the system another seaport, to be used in connection with the plans of the extension of the road to the west. The Seaboard Air Line has a large terminal site at the foot of Hanseil street, Charleston, purchased several years ago, and this property is now' to be utilized in connection with the extension of the system to the coa fields and the west. How Charleston Honored George Washington’s birthday was duly cel ebrated in Charleston. A parade was made by the local militia in which the three companies of coast artillery from Fort Moultrie and the poit band took part. The third regiment and attached troops were in line. The troops were reviewed by Adjutant and Inspector General Frost and Colonel E. B. Fuller, U. S. A. At night fcie Washington Light Infantry and the naval militia enjoyed entertainments. The Daughters of the Revolution gave a grand ball, and there were various other social features. Postoffice Cornerstone Laid.

NEGROES WARNED BY MASKED MEN. Colored Districts in Shreveport are Visited bv “ Night Riders.” At Shreveport, La., Friday, a band of about fifty masked citizens, riding horses, made the rounds in the negro districts late at night for the pur pose of warning negroes that they must recognize law an order. A strong organization has been ef fected, and it is declared that all ne groes found disorderly will be sum marily dealt with. 'No trouble has so far cecurred. DOOM FACES SAN DOMINGO^l KEAlV. Republican Leaders Admit That There is No Hope of Its Passage. Practically all of the senate lead ers concede that the Santo Domingo treaty bill will be defeated if brought to a v'ote and the plan generally fa vored is to defeat the treaty as early as possibly and thus avoid continued discussion of it. to the Masonic features of the pro gram the pupils of the city schools had an interesting and unique part in the exercises of the day. Dressed in costumes of Mother Goose charac ters they mounted roller skates and glided over the cement paved side walks through the principal streets of the city, finally bringing up at the building, which is being erected at the corner of North Church and Wal nut streets. The principal address >f the occasion was delivered by Presi dent Snyder of Wofford college. Rice Experiments Continue. The United States department of agriculture is continuing its experi mental stations on rice fields in the vicinity of Charleston, to show a profit able use of the soil, now that there has been such a general abandon ment of rice culture, on account of the low price of the staple incident to overproduction. Professor W. R. Beattie, assistant horticulturist of the department, gives it as his opinion that the South Car olina rice will always command a sale and the market will be better, now that thare is such a general di versification of crops in the south west, where the competition in rice cultivation has proven detrimental to the South Carolina staple. While he favors diversification here through th3 drainage of the rice lands and ths raising of such truck and grasses as will grow, he thinks that the farm ers should not abandon entirely tho cultivation of rice. How Tolbert Lost Out. A Washington dispatch says: R. ft. Tolbert, commonly known as "Rid.” will not be postmaster at Abbeville, S. C. The president seemed some what surprised when Senator Latimer and Representative Aiken informed him that such an appointment had been contemplated and forthwith or dered the appointment withdrawn. "What, is he the Tolbert who came up here a 3*ear or so ago with a long pistol and wanted to kill my friend Leupp?” The president made this exclamation, or one similar to it, be fore any reference was made to it by his callers. The president seemed to remember the little circumstance even better than Mr. Leupp him self. Mr. Leupp is now commissioner of Indian affairs. He was a newspaper man, and he wrote Tolbert’s story for him, which was published in The New York Independent with Tolbert's named signed to it. Some time after that Tolbert seems to have got it into his head that Leupp had in some way been making fun of him in newspaper stories and he came to Washington, so the story goes, equipped with a carefully selected shooting iron and called to pay his respects to Mr. Leupp. Nothing came of it, however, except a few newspaper stories, some interviews with Mr. Tolbert and a lot of fun some of the boys had out of him. Sea Island Seed Cornered. A Washington dispatch is as fol lows: There is an impression prevail ing in the department of agriculture that the growers of sea island cottpn, in South Carolina, have formed a corr ner in sea island cotton seed, or that, they are saving their crop of seed for the coming season for planting. Representative Brantley, who rep resents the Brunswick district in Georgia, has a large constituency, en gaged in growing sea island cotton. During the many years he has been in congress he has been able to ob tain from the department of agricul ture a reasonable supply of cotton seed for distribution in his congres sional district. A few days ago Mr. Brantley called upon the department of agriculture, as usual, to deliver to him his quota of sea island cotton seed. After waiting several days h* received the following letter, which is self-explanatory: Dear Mr. Brantley: Referring to your favor of the 10th instant, ask ing that you be furnished with an al lotment of sea island cotton seed, I am sorry to state that there will be none of this seed distributed this year for the reason that the South Caro lina growers, from whom we have al ways gotten our supply, have refused absolutely to sell any seed outside of South Carolina this year. Regretting that we are not in a position to meet jour wishes in this instance, I remain, very respectfully, R. T. GALLOWAY, Chief of Bureau. Anxiety Over Militia Reduction. The proposed reduction of the mil itary forces of the state in order to make the annual appropriations go farther ani better equip the troops, is proving a source of much anxiety to the members of the national guard of South Carolina. The number of companies have been considerably re duced during the past few years, and it was thought a year ago when the last reduction was made, that a stable basis had been reached, but it appears that the number of commands and the general organization is still too large and cumbersome and now that the annual inspections are about to begin and it is announced that fur ther reductions are to be made, th-: companies are much exercised. The militiamen are also chafing somewhat under the regulations of the Dix law, being assessed as formerly to maintain their armories wHSe re quired to perform services which arn not very agreeable , and for which there is not adequate compensation. One of the purposes of the proposed reduction of the corppanies is to en able the payment oC a larger sum to the surviving commands both for equipment and Individual compensa tion that the increastgd duties may not ifrove too exacting ai|^ profitless to the men.

President Roosevelt has intervened again as a peacemaker between the coal miners and operators, and as the result of a letter addressed by him tOi John Mitchell, president of the Uniteu* Mine Workers of America, a national convention of the United Miners will be held at Indianapol'is, Ind., on the 15th of March, to try to reach an agreement with the soft coal operators in the hope of averting the threat ened strike of April 1 jn the bitumi nous fielt^i. The president’s letter and the announcement that the na tional convention would be called were made public Monday night by Mitchell. Tho president’s letter to Mr. Mitch ell follows: “White House, Washington, D.

You, in this busi ness, have enjoyed a great industrial peace for manj* years, thanks to tho joint trade agreement that has re suited in the action of your successive conventions.
