OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.. Justice for the South in Payment Wax Claims-Roosevelt Wants Power. Special Cor. Herald and News. Washington,. Nov. 21.-Prospects are bright for the passage, during the approaching session of Congress, of the omnibus claims bill ctkrrying large amounts for the payment of wai claims in every State in the South. The justice of these claims is not de nied. Many of them have been pass 0d upon by the Court of Claims and the amount due from the Unitee States adjudicated by that tribunal The failure to pass the bill at the lasi session was due to the efforts of th( Republican leaders in Congress t< keep down the total of appropriations as much as possible for effect in the Congressional campaign. They piled up extravagant appropriations foi other objects but refused t.o authoriz the payment of the just debts of the - government. The Southern men ii Congress will also make a determine effort to secure the passage, during the approaching session, of the bill providing for the refunding of thi millions of dollars illegally collecte in the Southern States during the wai through the cotton tax. This mone is in the Treasury but it can not. b< restored to those from whom it wa wrongfully collected or their heir without special authority from Con gress. The passage of this bill wil be an act of tardy justice to th< South. President Roosevelt is determinei to continue his efforts to secure i further concentration of power in thi Federal Executive at the expense o: Congress and the States. Hii message to Congress at the beginninl of the session will contain several re comincildations along tilt sline. Hi: proposition to have the Congress in pose a tax oi legacies and inherit anees is a direct )rol)osal to invadl the field of State taxation. There i: no question as to the power of Conl gress to imp1ose an inheri(ance tax but therefore his form of taxatioi has been regarded as one to be re No More Smoke. Spartanbure' Herald.

Boes and Curios of Pre-Histeri Race May Be Exhibited at James town Exposition. Norfolk. Va., Nov'. 21.-Wha archaeologists deeclare will solve thIi mystery surrounding the ancin muounid builders was discovered re( cently in one of a series of hills alon; ilWe Illinois river, in that state. Th, find'' shows traces of handicraf of past ages, and the bones0 of thos, who wrough t it. Several skeleton were exhumed more thani eight fce long, also pieces of remarkable pot tery, heads and curious implements Under the bones of' the ancient deal were found vases, the largest of ivhiec are capable of holding more than tw, gallons, while under a skull was ur earthed a bowl, in the center of whiel is .a well fashioned figure of a King seated upon a crude throne. It is be lieved b)y scientists that these bone may be those of a great leader of th race that once ruled this portion o the country. Strangest of all articles found wvitl the bones wer'e implements that ar apparently made of bamboo, some o them evidently shaped for paurpose of weaving. Countless beads wer found in the mound of a strange mat erial almost wvhite, and possibly mad frmthe b)est of potters clay. Another interesting and euriou ''find'' is a shell shape dish wvith wolfs head, the work ,on which leave A.no doubt that it was carved, even thi teeth of the wolf gleaming fromn .il ~'and as exquisitely exeented as somx '"of the ivory carving of the Japanese. Thousands of persons are being at tracted to the scene of excavation b; the news of the wvonderful discoveries ' The soil of the mound has never bee: disturbed and to this fact is attribul ed the marvelous preservation of th things taken from it. Eminent archaeologists are' unani mos in t he opinion that the moun, is a pre-historie burying ground great-, er in extent and more perfectly pre served than any yet discovered, and is a valuable contribution definitely .settling many mooted points. An effort is being made not only to secure this remarkable "find'' in its- entirety for the Jamestown Ex position, but the resilts' of investiga tion determining the history of this race and extinct race of people. The Statue to Hampton. The sculptor's idea as brought out in the figure is that of a commander I hs lie is being cheered by his men. I General Hamp'ton is represented with hat oMY and sword at salute, riding along in front of his army, while the soldiers express their confidence and love for their leader. The whole atti tude, as well as the face, is expressive of pride, the shoulders thrown back, the chest out and the eyes afire. The praneing steed typifies the same con Cption. General Hampton was a su perb horseman and always rode a good steed, and old soldiers say the artist I has done both man and horse justice. Tihe whole statue, man and horse, is 15 feet 5'1-2 inches high, being one and one-half times life size. If stand I ing, the man's figure would be 9 1-2 feet. The pedestal is 13 1-2 feet high, making the total height of the monu lment 29 feet. The pedestal is of two parts, upper - and lower. The upper part is of gray I variegated granite from the Vosgs mountains of France, highly polished. It, rests on two steps of Winnsboro granite, surrounded by a curving i mound covered with sod. The whole is surrounded by curbing of Winns 3 boro granite and at each angle is an E ornamental railing of bronze, special 3 ly designated and made in Paris for I this monument. - On 1ie froit of tle pedestal is this s inscription: - "'Erected bv the State of South - 'Carolinia and her Citizens.' On the north: (Cmiltide. oif 11,11111)oni's L goi "Lielteialt (General C. S. A." Onl the east: ''Bori 'Marelh 1S. IIS. "Died April 11, 19'2." On the South: "Governor of South Carolina IS76 1879. "United States Senator 1879-91.'' On the lower first. course are ten broize piaiels containing tihe name of . the tenl battles, five on each side, in . which General Hampton participated. 3 On the foot of the same course is a t bronze tablet on which these words Sare inseribed: "To Wade -aipton.'' On the rear of the same course is a silnilar tablet with this inscription: "Exected A. D. 1906.'' Mr. Ruekstihl was two years in makin.- the statue. but coliplet ed the work one year beflore the e'xpiration of the l imit set. by his conitraet with the c'omisiSon. Th'le st atue it self was made jumst outside ot'a ris in the conuntry. The wr k was don~me in Paruis for thle purpoit seof eC(xp osinug it ini thle salon, but was coimpletedl t wo weeks too late for this year's exhibit, and \Mr. R uekstinbl pr e&rmed toc deliver thle work ratheri than wait another year. SPairis was an ideal place for the work. sic here can h)e founid anyu~ sort. of -model for any' puripose imiaginale and Sthere is the artistic atmosphere. S Mr. Ruckstuhl is himself a native of tFrance, having been born in those Csame Vosgs mountains from which shis beautiful marble came. When one t' year old his parents, who were of Al satiain descent, came to this country and the sculptor's boyhood wvas spent in St. Louis. His home now is in INew York city, but lie has visited 0Paris frequently and speaks French as fluently as lie does English. He has 'taken great pains with this work and has personally supervised t.he placing of every stone in the monument and a thle erection of the statue itself. ROOSEVELT WHlL "STAND PAT " IUnless He Is Shown That New racts S Have Been Discovered ravorablo to Negro Troops-Simple Al slegations Won't Do-He e Must Be Shown. C New'. York, Novembier 20.-A cable dispatch from President Roosevelt (le s clining to suspend his order discharg a ing the inegro) troops of the Twenty s fifth. regiment unless the facts as e known to him are shmowni to be false, 'but expressing his willingness to hear enew facts bearing upon the ease, was .made public~ today by Gilchrist Stew 'art, of ti' Constitutional League. 7 oosevelt Stands Pat. S Mr. Stewart cab)led Roosevelt at Ano,Panama, as follows: "'Republicani county committee un Canimousl& denounces discharge of col ored soldiers. Parsons, Oleott, Bien Snett, committee, p)etitioninig depart ment Newapnes emphat.ic. Dowel opients and new facts warrant an im- P1 mediate suspension of order.' w The president's reply contained the c following: at ''Unless facts as known to in are shown to be false, the order will under at no circum'stances be revoked, and I N shall not for one moment consider sus pending it on a simple allegation that there are new facts until these new facts are laid before ie. Inform any persons having new facts to have them in shape to lay before me at my dc return, and I will then consider whether or not any further action by I me is called for. ''Tmeodore Roosevel.'' fi The presideit's view is that the nc- i gro soldiers, in reifusing informition r1 necessary to the apprehension of the oj min who coimlitted criminal acts at Brownsville, Tex., struck at the very ti heart of military justice and discip lne. Had the white froops done this sane thinir. they wvould have suffered tle same pelnalty. Taft Responsible for Abeyance Order. Fort leno, Okla., November 20. Tlie order from Washington to hold in abeyance the order discharging the negro troops without honor, did not N come as a complete surprise at Fort t l?eno. Military men who have watch- R ed tihe extent of the public feeling so against the diseiarge orders have be- i lieved that the war department would el delay the carrying out of the project until a further investigation was made. It is believed here that See retary Taft is responsible for the 9 abeyance of the order. During his re cent trip of inspection of the military cl posts of tile southwest, it is under- o stood tlat General McCaskey, head b of' tlhe department of Texas, made the S secretary thorouglily acquainted with e lhe history of tle entire affair at S Brownsville. e H 1umanitY is a virtie tliat. hob1- r, bles about oil elitheles. 0 In 1,o14thall it's : t"lnel-dI wn11: in o lM-t riinoll% it 's a .lade-doxi.w ,0 L ile is nit w r li 11i unless you!( live f4r1 tle -o)od youl eaui do.
