The in crease salary bill for State officers was killed. The Civic association must not- be discouraged because there are those who oppose the city beautiful and who see beauty in a public square filled with old wagons and mules and negroes. No great improvement can be made without opposition. Is it still the rule to pile trash from the wards in the streets 1 Or is the rule to burn it in the yard I We just want information. The legislature seems to be after dividing the Clemson income. One measure proposes that the money from the privilege tax go into the State treasury and not be subject to the check of the treasurer of Clemson and another to so arrange the law that Winthrop can get one-third of the privilege tax. The privilege tax is very large this year. Senator Graydon, of Abbeville, has introduced a bill in the senate to do away with The necessity of exchang ing mileage for tickets. It seems to us that this is a wise measure.' We could - never see the advantage to the railroad of requir ing the passengers who -held mileage to secure a ticket. One of the advan tages of buying mi-leage is to save time frequently lost by waiting to puehs a ticket. We can see no advantage to the railroads in requir ing passengers who travel on mileage 'to secure a ticket instead of using mileage on the train. MRS. BLAIR AGAIN ON TRIAL. Diness of Juror Causes Halt in the Case, However. Columbia, January 27.-On account of the illnes of Juror Faust the trial of Mrs. Ethel Blair, for the mur <der of her husband, was not resumed in sessions court this' morning. How ever, if no change for the worse in the condition of the ill juror occurs it is probable that the cedse will be re sumed tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. It is thougnit that the ease will be given to the jury late in the afternoon, as yesterday's proceedings were carried through with great ex pedition, and at 5 o'clock the State announced that its side of the case had been closed. A few of the minor witnesses for the defence were exam ined, but the leading witnesses, in cluding the defendant, are yet to be heard. Advertised Letters. Miss Ella Bowers, C'. C. Brown.

Three of four days ago a great ado as made throughout the country ov r the fact, as reponted, .that Presi ent Roosevelt had ridden in one day inety miles, to Warrenton, Virginia, nd back to Washington, starting at .40 o 'clock in the morning and dis aounting at the White House a,t 8.30 'lock in the evening, covered with leet and ice. An hour later it was tated he appeared -rigged out for din rer and enjoyed a ihearty meal. This as, as the News and Courier said at he time, a specetacular feat, and one rhich established pretty conclusively he president's claim to physical en urance rather unusual in one occupy ng his station of life. But there are cores of good horsemen in this and lmost every other Sta1te who could asily stand such a ride with no more igns of fatigue than were shown by fr. Roosevelt, and as an evidence of orsemanship, his ride counts for othing, because, as was stated in the [ispatches, 'he used up four mounts n the trip. Ye~'terday morning the News and ourier referred briefly in an editor al paragraph to a feat of horseman hip of Wade Hampton, the second, nd during the day the full particu ars were secured from Mr. Frank lampton, of this city, a nephew of he late Senator Wade Hampton, and grandson of Wade Hampton, the econd, who, in ,th~e War of 1812, was colonel under Gen. Andrew Jack on, another great South Carolinian, hose powers of endurance -were test d more than once, and never found 7anting. It was while Jaickson was defending he city of New Orleans that it be-1 ame necessary for Col. Wade Hamp on to go as quickly as possible to Co mbia, South Carolina. either to ear y dispatches or because he had re-' eived a message that his wife was erv ill-as to that Mrf. Frank Hamp on does not recolle"t very 'learly. A t nv rate. however. 'o1. Hampton nade the trip, a distance of 720 miles. n twelve days. Two days of:The time as spent in the effort to get aeross he Mississippi river, and three hun [red miles of the journey were made hrough the Indian Reservation, there he had to carry all his provis osn and food for his horse as well. The roads, where he had any at all to ollow. were of the very poorest de eription. Yet Cal. HIampton made1 he trip ini the time stated. a'd. whmat s still more to lie polut, he T?ODE1 [HE SAME HORSE A\LE THlE VT. That was ai test aict )nl\ 4)f mis own endu:'ance--the power to viathstand physical weariness was ax >eeted of every leader of ricn in those ~ ay-__ut of his 3lrill as a horsema.n. Phe ne!s'o who wa-s with lim ,broke 1IIwn tfl Ilo s during the eonrse >f the journey. C(I. Hampton at hat timte wei*1hed abmit 175 pounds. Col. Hampton was a splendid rider s lonz as lie lived. Only a. short time )efore his death lie rode in one day rom Cashier's Valley )to Pendleton, i distance of sixty miles, on one horse rhe family were returning from the n1ountains, and when the others halt ?d at Cashier's Valley, Col. Hamp on continued the journey alone. Swapped Horses in the Mountains. The circumstances under which Col. ampton secured the horse which he! ode from New Orleans ,to Columbia, is related yesterday by Mr. Frank ampton. are interesting. It seems :at he was riding through the moun ains and saw a main driving cattle, md he was so much pleased with the ippearanee of the horse upon which his man was mounted that he stop >ed him and asked him if he would ell the animal. The cattle-driver re lied that he-would not. Col. Hamp ;on persisted in his endeavor to buy .he horse, and finally the man said: 'See here. You seem determined to iave my horse, so I will tell you what .ll do. I will swap him to you for 'lie horse you have there, and '?50 )oot.' At that Col Hampton laughed. 'Why, my dear sir.'' said he. "this s a blooded horse I have here. His )edigree is so and so,' giving it. "He s worth at least $500." "I don't ow anything about that and I don't are anything abouit it,") answered the attle driver., "but I do know my iorse and I know what he can do. en if he hasn't any pedigree. and hose are the only terms upon which Ton can get him.'" Col. Hampton by ;his time was bent on having the oth r horse. so the upshot of the matter as that he finally came to the motn .ineer's terms, and they traded then mai there. He never regrettei it, for :he horse was a magnificent animal, is his feat in bearing his masiter from ew Orleans to Columbia in twelva lays through a wild and largely un ;ettled country bore witness to. A ramous Jumper. Dr. Fancis L. Parker, who first re alled the feat of Col. Hampton to :he News and Courier's attention, tated that his recollection was that his horse was also famous as a jum.p r as well as a roadster, and that he 1ad been known to leap a seven-foot ~ence- with a man on his back. Mr. rank Hamp,ton knew nothing as to *his, but he did recall that his uncle. en. Wade Hampton, the -third, had horse which he rode often during a ood part of the War Betweean the states, and which was killed under 1i at tahe batitle of Gettysburg, hich was a famous jumper. On one casion during a battle Gen. Hamp ;on tied this horse by a halter to a mix foot fence, and the horse, halter d lose to the fence as he was, leap d it to -the other side. L0 Miles in One Day on One Horse. Gen. Hampton was himself one of 'e most superb horsemen ever known n the South. Many stories of his ;kill as a rider might be recalled by Lppealing to his old comrades and ~riends. On one occasion, during the Pennsylvania campaign, he moved is command 96 miles in 23 hours, Lnd he himself rode over one hun Ired miles in that time, as -he went orts Lhead of his command several miles, electing the rou,te for them to fol ow and then rode back to meet them. )n this trip Gen. Hampton used only ne horse, and he weighed at that ;ime probably 185 pounds. He had m ugly little flea-bitten, gray mare, vhich 'he was accustomed to use when he had a ride of this sort to nake, and his men used always to 'cuss' and shake their heads when hey saw the gritty little animal sad iled and brought to . the general's ead'quaters, for ,they knew that here was work ahead of them, and lenty of it. Threw an Angry Bull. Mr. Carlyle McKinley, for many rears a distinguished member of the itorial staff of this newspaper, used o tell a very interesting story illus rating not. only the horsemanship, it the strength of Gen. Wade ampton, the third, of whom he was great admirer. The details of this tory cannot, unfortunately, be given ow, but it was in effect that when ipnl one occasion Glen. Hampton was m horseback he was charged by an ingry bull. Glen. Hampton promptly eized the beast by the horns, and by nain strength, as they say in the ~ountry, t:hrew i,t upon its back. This it least, is a feat not yet approached y the Rough Rider president. Practica.l Aid of Wireless. tlanta Journal.

Of Nantuck et she was rammed by the Floride and there were present all the ele ments of one of the most disastrous tragedies of the sea the world has ever witnessed in a long time. True the Floride was finally able to pick her way back to the disabled Republic,"3ut there have 'been many instances where such was not possi ble. At any rate the Republic lost no time in getting in communication witih a number of other ships which were in convenient distance. The Floride, after first taking off the pa3-0 sengers, found that she was so over loaded that it would be necessary to transfer the passengers to other ships, and there in the mist and fog the transfer was made. The hero of the day was the wire less operator, "Jack"' Biims, who re mained at his post until the Republic went down. Altogetiher it was one of the nar rowest escapes ever made from one of those fearful disasters whieh occur at remote intervals, and the practical utility of the wireless was demon strated more conclusively than ever before. It is safe to say that from now on not an ocean-going steamer of any size will dare to put out without be ing equipped with wireless apparatus. The complexity of our civilization undoubtedly makes a great demand upon human life. On the one hand, there are greater opportunities for the destruction of human life. But it would seem from instances like this that tihe matter is equalized after all, and that there are as many devices for safeguarding as there are for de stroying humn life.
