PUBLISHED THREE DISAGREEMENT Memorial Criticising the Citadel Stirs up the ' DIOCESAN pOUNCIL ** Rev. C. H. Jordan. Withdraws After That Body Declined to Spread on the Minutes a Memorial, Charg ing Citadel Officers with Discrim inating Against Episcopalians. The Council of the Episcopal Dio ces sat down on Rev. C. H. Jordan last Thursday at Spartanburg, claim ingr that he had not been Bhown the proper consideration of respect by the Council, because the Council re fused to adopt a resolution of fered by him and refused to approve a memorial that he he presented, the Rev. C. H. Jordan, rector of the Nativity Church at Union, asked to be excused from fur ther attendance upon the sessions of the Council. The following ac count of the matter we take from The News and Courier: The trouble was precipitated when Mr. Jordan presented a memorial from the Greenville convention, the subject of which was religious con ditions at the Citadel. The memorial was that there was religious discrim ination at the institution against ca dets of Episcopal parents; that they were not allowed to attend services at the Episcopal churches as freely as they might; that they are requir ed to march in squads to other churchs, while the cadets of Roman Catholic faith are permitted to at ted to attend the church of their faith. The discussion that followed the reading of the memorial was lively, objections being made to the adop tion or consideration of the memo rial. Judge Haskell said that if the Council interfered it would be mixing religion with politics and advised the Council to steer clear of the matter; that the Citadel was a State institu tion and not under the control of the dioceses. The Rev. Albert Thomas, of Dar lington, said that he was a graduate of the Citadel and he knew of his own knowledge that the Episcopal students are not being discriminated against. He said that there are five Episcopal churches in Charleston and that the cadets attend these churches more frequently than the other churches. During the discussion it was brought out that the students who are Roman Catholic were not required to attend the Protestant churches and Mr. Jordan made the point that no exception should be made. Finally, it was decided to re ceive the memorial as information and not spread it on the minutes of the Council. Mr. Jordan presented then a res olution providing for the appoint ment of a committee to make an in vestigation of the alleged religious discrimination at ithe Citadel and report the result of its findings at the next meeting of the Dioceses Council. The resolution provided for the Bishop to serve on the com mittee, Bishop Guerry promptly stat ed that he would not serve. A mo tion was made and carried, almost unanimously, that the resolution be laid on the table. Mr. Jordan .'then laddrfessed the Councial stating that he had been shut off from debate by the Council, that Le had not been treated with proper respect and courtesy and ask ed to be excused. The incident was egretted by members of the Coun il. The proposal was almost un nimously regarded as ill-advised and s likely to place the church in an ndesirable light, and to provoke an unpleasant religious controversy. The handling of the subject from a parliamentary standpoint was per haps a little irregular and this gave Mr. Jordan ground for thinking that he had been treated in an unfair manner, although Bishop Guerry as sured him that such had not been his intention. BAPTIST CONVENTION. Five Thousand or More Delegates Are Present. The Baptist have about captured Louisville, Ky. When Joshua Lev ering of Baltimore called to order the first regular session of the Southern Baptist Convention Wed nesday, he faced perhaps 5,000 del egates. Most of them came from Southern States, but there were some from the East and North. Many prominent Southern writers had places on today's program, which ? included the election of officers, the adoption of resolutions and a ser mon by the Rev. Dr. E. C. Dargan of Macon. Ga. The sensation of th? convention so far has been the announcement to laymen last r. ht by Jos N. Shenstone, a millionaire manufac turer of Toronto, Ontario, that he would keep of his immense fortune only enough for his future living (\p<>nses and would devote the re remainder to the service of God. Restored Name of Davis. By the end of the present week the name of Jefferson Davis will have been chiseled again into the stone in the famous Cabin John bridge six mile? west of Washington. President Roosevelt having given instructions to this effect previous to his retire ment. CAUSED SURPRISE IN CHARESTON WHEN THE NEWS REACHED THERE. The CitidePs System as to Church Attendance Has Always Given Sat isfaction?No Discrimination. The News and Courier says the reports from Spartanburg of the at tempt of the Rev. C. H. Jordan, of Union, a member of the Diocesan Council of the Episcopal church, to bring E'xmt an investigation of re ligious conditions at the Citadel, al leging that the cadets of the Epis copal faith were discriminated against and prevented from attend ing Episcopal churches, were read with astonishment in Charleston, where curiosity< .was generally ex pressed as to how an impression so erroneous as that indicated could have, been formed by any one. Col. 0. J. Bond, the superintendent of the South Carolina Militay Academy, had heard nothing of the matter when a representative of The News and Courier visited him at the Cita del a few evenings ago, and he readi the dispatch with the greatest sur prise. 'I can't understand the matter at all,' he said with a smile. "We are using today the same system as to church attendance that we have used for the last twenty years, and this is the first complaint I have ever heard in regard to the matter." Col. Bond did not think that the situation was such as to render necessary any statement by him, but he did not object to explaining the system of church attendance as fol lowed at the Citadel. The cadets every Sunday morning are sent out by companies, he said, a company to a church. There are eleven church es on the list, which are attended in rotation. Five of these are Episco pal churches?St. Michael's, St. Philip's, St. Paul's, St. Luke's and Grace Church; three are Presbyte rian, the First Presbyterian, Second Presbyterian and Westminster Pres byterian churches; two are Methodist ?Bethel and Trinity; one Baptist church is included, the Citadel Square Baptist church. There are only six or seven Ro man Catholics in the student body. These are allowed to attend church es of their own faith. The students of the Jewish faith, are not requir ed to attend services at Christian churches against.their wilL Once each month communicants are allowed individual leave to at tend churches of their own denomi nation for the purpose of taking communion. The cadets are allowed Sunday afternoons off and may then attend any church they wish to attend. The first class has Sunday evenings off, and members of this class may go to any church they please on Sun day evenings. Col. Bond also added that relig ious services are held in the chapel at the Citadel each morning, that there is a Bible class every Sunday morning and that the Citadel Y. M. C. A. holds services every Wednes day evening and every Sunday even ing. "There *S' absolutely no discrim ination at the Citadel against stud ents of the Episcopal faith or of any other faith," continued Col. Bond. "It is not one of the entrance quali fications that a student be an Episco palian, but as a matter of fact it happens that more students are mem bers of the Episcopal church than of any other, more Episcopal churches are attended than the churches of any other one faith?because of this fact and beteause the Episcopal churches are most numerous of the Protestant churches in Charleston? and at least four members of the faculty are Episcopalians, while a fifth attends the Episcopal church regularly." Col. Bond is himself a vestryman of St, Paul's Episcopal church, in Charleston. DIED AS HE SHOT. Fell Dead While Trying to Shoot a Man With Gun. At Niagara Falls, N. Y.. Thursday death prevented .Willis White from killing James Thomas. White armed with a revolver and a razor, went to a barn where Thomas was employ ed and demanded money.

With blood pour ing from his mouth. White stagger ed forward several steps and fell dead. BUTCHER MURDERED. Skull Crushed. At St. Paul, Minn., Thursday' Louis Arbogast, a meat dealer, was found with his skull crushed in his home. The polios say no arrests [ have been made. Arbogaste eldest j daughter, Louise, aged 24, and her j sweetheart. Henry Spangenberg, were j taken to the central police station where they were closely questioned, for several hours. Mrs. Arbogast, who is suffering from prostration, is being cared for in a hospital. The police claim to be confident that the murder was commited by some of the occupants of the house, as all of the doors and windows, they assert, were found the way they had been ; left when the family retired. I ORANGEBUKG WANT TO SELL Meat Condemned by The Green villa Authorities IN VIOLATION OF LAW Dr. C. E. Smith, of Greenville, Re ports Efforts by Agents of Swift Co. to Sell Meats That Had Been Submerged in Dirty Water for Two Days. A dispatch from Greenville to The State says in a letter to Dr. C. F. Williams, State health officer, Dr. C. E. Smith, of Greenville, meat and milk inspector, states that agents of Swift & Co. have endeavored to get him to pass the 16,000 pounds ofr meat recently condemned there on account of having been submerged in filthy water for 24 hours. Dr. Smith absolutely refuses to pass the con demned meat. In his letter to Dr. Williams he says: My idea is that they will keep u until they think it has blown over and then try to put it on our market. All the representatives of Swift have assured me that they are willing to do just what is right and what 1 demand, but I can not believe them, as they have tried eve-y way to get me to reconsider and pass the meat, and when I positively refused to do so they refused to do anything and now they are criticising the city health department. They claim that the meat is all right and that the city health depart ment is a set of "boneheads," if you know what that is. I think the mat ter has hung fire long enough and should be disposed of in some man ner. If we have not the authority to handle the situation I will writs Dr. Melvin at Washington for advice. I think it would be a disgrace to the city and State if we can not pre vent this meat being used for food purposes. RIDES ON PASSES. Sensation Follows Revelations of Committee. A telegram from Tallahassee, Fla., says charges that many persons of prominence in Florida have accept ed passes on railroads in Flordia, contrary to the law, have been sub mitted to the house committee ap pointed to investigate the files of the States railroad commission. The re port was referred to the committee on judiciary. Among those reported as having accepted passes are: United States Senator Taliaferro, Representative Frank Clark, Former Representative Robt. W. Davis, A. C. Croom, State comptroller; W. T. Bauskett, sec retary to Senator Taliaferro; United States District Judge J. W. Locke, United States District Judge Alex ander Bowman. While the anti-pass law of Florida does not affect in any way the federal officers, it specifically provides pun. ishment by fine or imprisonment for giving by any raiiroad of passes to salaried employees of the State, any such officer accepting pass being sub ject to like penalties.

AWFUL TALES Heartrending Accounts of Trage dies in Armenia MAKES CLEAN SWEEP Of ihe Country of the Armenian. Men Are Murdered, Women Mai- j Created and Carried to the Harems, tlcuses Sacked and Then Burned and Farm Animals Driven On*. Dispatches from Marash, Asiatic Turkey, say that most distressing account continue to be received there from the countryside of the Arme nian villages assailed I by bands of Mohamedans, who, acting on the sup position that the Armenians were rising against government, wers quick to strike the first blow. Men were killed whenever found within reach of knife or bullet. Girls were often maltreated, and some of them were carried off to become the wives or slaves of rich men. Houses were ransacked and then burned. Farm animals were driven off and small parties of horsemen rode through the country "cleaning up the Armenians." The whole country is ruined by the destruction of the farms and the homes of the people, thousands of whom were killed by the blood-thirs ty Turks. Everything portable has been stolen and carried off by the thieving and murderous Turks. Families are completely brok en up, and it is estimated that at least one hundred thousand people have been murdered or carried off into captivity, which is. worse than death. No one was spared. Even infants at the breast were torn to pieces by the demons, and women were reserved for a worse fate than death. Half of the stories of the horrible butcheries have not reached the outer world because the Turkish authorities refuse to let many of them pass the telegraph or postoffice. FOUR BISHOPS HAVE DIED.

Zueii AicGee. the wide awake W?cuiuyton correspondent of the Columbia State, says it develops now thai the lumber lobby, which has btcii operating with considerable euctSS daring '.he present tarilf-mak iug sjcasion of congress, has been sup ported most lavishly by the lumber manufacturers. An assessment was made on each sawmill in the various associations of $1 for each $1,000 feet of daily cut. The lumber manufacturers of the State of Oregon and Washington belonging to one particular associa tion were assessed $28,000, but so far they have paid only $12,000, and they are being vigorously pressed to pay the rest. Some of the advocates of tree lum ber he-re are declaring that the fail ure to pay the assessment is evi dence that the real pressure for pro tection on lumber is not so much from the sawmill people as from the tim'ber syndicates, who own most of the stumpage. There is plenty of money, how ever, for the lobby. It Is estimated that ? 100,000 was raised to main tain the special lobby here to try to keep the present rates of $2 a thou sand on rough lumber and the cor responding high rates on other grades. This does not include the expens es of special delegations sent here by lumber organizations in various States and the expenses of individu al lumbermen who have come here for the purpose of influencing con gressmen from their own State. A number of lobbyists have been in and about the capital ever since last fall. Some weeks ago, while the bill was before the house, the lobbyists gave a series of expensive dinners at the Wiliard hotel, to which they invited members of congress and oth ers whom they thought would be influential. BREAKS RECORD. Sales of Fertilizer This Year Larger Than Ever. The State says the farmers of South Carolina are becoming more and more progressive each year. This is apparent from the growth of the privilege tax receipts. On each ton of fertilizers a tax of 25 cents is paid. The first year that this fertilizer tax was required the sales were 213,000, last year the sales had increased to 689,000 tons. But all records have been broken in the sales of 1909. Up to May 9 the receipts for this year have been $169.554. against $151,061 for the same time last year; an increase of SI 8.493. or 73.972 tons. The receipts so far for this year are within $2.6S0 of the total for last year, and if the business for the remainder of this year is as good as for the same remainder of 190& (when $21.273 had been received), the total for 1909 would be $169. 553.87. already received, plus the $21.273 estimated, or $190.826.87. The income in 1908 as shown by the books of Mr. J. Fuller Lyon at the offic of the State treasury was $172,234.76. The receipts for each yenr sincn the tax was created are as follows: 1 890-91 . $ 53.235.85 1 891-92 . 36.1 08.98 1892-93 . 59,248.95 1 893-94 . 43.423.88 1 894-95 . 30.135.93 1895-96. 54.524.37 1897 . ... 59.352.33 1898 . 65.494.33 1 899 . 62.1 23.88 1900. 75,214.34 1 901 . 84.073.43 1902. 81.744.94 1 993 . 98.909.80 1 904 . 1 1 8.974.15 1905 . 130.439.80 1906. 1 67,157.89 1907. 150.fl84.81 190S. 1 72.234.76 This revenue goes to Clemson col lege, where the fertilizers are inspect ed.

The following particulars of the sickness and death of this good man is con tained in an Associated Press dis patch from Jackson, Miss., where the Bishop lived for years: Bishop Galloway, Mississippi's most dirtiuguished divine and best known publicist, for the last twenty years held rank among the greatest public orators of America. His ill ness, of several days' duration, was a mild form of pneumonia, compli cated with heart trouble. The Bishop was taken ill last Fri day en route from Nashville, where he had attended the annual session of the College of Bishops. No alarm over his condition was felt until Monday night, when pneumonia de veloped in one lung. The patient grew worse rapidly. During the final twelve hours he was unconscious. The funeral took place Thursday afternoon from the First Methodist church, followed by interment at Greenwood Cemetery. Bishop War ren A. Candler, of Atlanta, Ga., con ducted the services. All departments of the Federal, State, County and municipal governments were closed on Thursday and Major Crowder is sued a proclamation asking that all business houses close for the day out of respect for the distinguished dead. Bishop Galloway was possibly the most prominent of the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. He was a son of Dr. C. B. Galloway, and was born at Kosciusco, Miss., September 1, 1849. His boy hood days were spent there and at Canton. In 1865 he entered the University of Mississippi and was graduated in 1868. In 1869 he join ed the Mississippi Conference.

The degree of doctor of divinity was conferred on him by the University of Mississippi, and the degree of doctor of laws by the Northwestern University and by Tu lane. Bishop Galloway's writings cover ed a wider range perhaps than those of any other person connected with the church and he traveled extensive ly. He was the author of "The Life of Linus Parker," "Methodism, a Child of Providence," "A Circuit of Providence," "A Circuit of the Globe," "Modern Missions and Their Value," and "The American Com monwealth." He represented the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at the Ecumenical Conference at Washing ton, D. C, and London, England, and was a fraternal messenger to the General Conference of the Methodist Church in Canada. He visited Brazil twice, Mexico twice and China and Japan three times. Bishop Galloway took a leading part in the affairs of his State and was regarded as one of its foremost citizens. He was a member of the State board of trust and of the State historical commission. For a number of years he took an active interest in the prohibition campaigns in Mississippi and other Southern States. He was president of the board of education of the Methodist fjpiscopal Church, South; president of the board of trustees of Millsaps College and Vanderbilt University and was a member of the board of trustees of the John F. Slater fund. SERIOUS CHARGE. Woman Accused of Trying to Kill Her Husband. At Butler, Ga., developments of a sensational character materialized in the case of the mysterious as sault committed upon Charles Wig j gins, a prominent business man, at the midnight hour Thursday night, when his wife, Mrs. Sarah Wiggins, was placed under arrest, charged as an accessory to the alleged crime. Mrs. Wiggins had been visiting her parents at Columbus, Ga., it is said, and had communicated to her hus band that she would arrive at But ler on the midnight train Sunday night.
