DOVE OF PEACE Isuui" Ora .he I i Facim of TRUE IS DECLARD Both FacioMs in the Republican Fight and President Taft Give Out Semnane Showing That War Wgll be Suspended Utt After Inve-gaton Comtte CoSeu. the dove of peace succeeded in getting reasonably near a perch Friday on the field occupied by the warring Republican factions of the house, after that much-sought bird bad been repeatedly trightened away from the scene by the clamor of the contending participants. When Rep resentative Hayes. of California. the mediator for the insurgents, return ed to the house after calling upon President Taft the news circulated rapidly that t truce had been ar rang"d and a more or less perma nent peace In the Republican ranks was about to be announced. This was considered confirmed when a statement issued from the White House and another from Rep e,,sentative Dwight. the Republican whip, announcing the details of the armistic. The peace pronunciamento proved premature, however, for Rep resentatlve-Hayes, between numerous conferences with his associates. an nounced that no agreement had been reached and that the matter would go over until later. -At this juncture the Insurgents gathered in the room of Representa tis Bardner, of Masachusetts. Is sued another statement. laying that - **an understanding bad been reach ed." The statement, which was giv en out by Representative Mayes, folows: MM- -O ttnet -Mt is true that an understanding has been reached that we shall at ted the cauus about to be held for the choice of the RepubUcan members of the %vestigatIng com vnttee. The question of future co torenees. however. Is one on which there has been no agmement. IM fact. I had no authority from m3 aamcites to enter into that question Of course, this agreement. in nc way affects the Issue as to the prew - et system of control of the house of representatives." Mr. Bayes was asked If the word "we' used in his statement meant aII the insurents in the house. Hq repied that It did, sad that all ol the Insurgents concurred in the state ment.

The Insurgents say thes mcnending merely for a fair coin ittee and care not who are ii menmers. The following statement was gite ~-out by Prsdn Taft: -It has been agreed between the regular RepublIeans and the so-cal -I- ldinsurgents represnented by Mv -DwIght on the one hand and Mr ~ayes on the other, after confer engs with the Presgent, that i should be held to pass upot 'S '\be uetio o te committee In the Inteior department investigatio wihte assurance that the lnsm' gts. ftey came Into the can ~,wud be treated fairly and that a omttee of meknowledged im -ittlaaity would be appointed. A futer agreement was foreshadow ed that the caucuses should be held imer to time, to which all elect. ed a Republicans, should be invit ed to take up the various measure' recowjmtended by the samnlstrationl asperforance on the party pledg es, the subject of each caucus to be announced in advance." 'The statement of Representative Dight, the Republican whip of the -.s concerning the reported un -dertmlnZn between the regulars and Insurgents was as follows: 'e*Rgulars'" Stst*min". The questions of the past have ije orgotten. The tariff bill Is no longer a matter for discussion. The speakership fight is ended. The quston of the rules Is not now an issue. We are confronted with the problem of redeeming the pledges of the Republican party to the pe0 - pie. "Last Friday there was a vote in this house which caused a Republi can division." Mr. Dwight here referred to the vote on the Norris amendment, tak ing the appointment of the Balling er.Pinchot investigating committee from the hands of Speaker Cannn and placing it with the house itself. "That was a matter of no con sequence and a small object in which the people could have but little In terest. But It showed a division in the party. The next day I saw Presi dent Taft and laid the matter be fore him. "I told the President that the so called insurgents were represented as being the friends and supporters of the 3dmtinntationi and ready to help - enact his recommendations into law. I assured the President that the reg ular Republicans of the house were -ready to do likewise. We also were prepared to go into caucus upon any proposition and abide by the result. Were the insurgents ready to do the same, "For the past two days confer ences have been In progress and those who differed from us last Fri day are now ready to enter the cau cus, and abide by the decision reach ed there." Mr. Dwight was sked if the in surgents had been given any definate assurances as to the treatment they would receive In caucus. - '"No," he replied. "except that they have been assured of fair treatment. They will not be discriminated Jolly an egotist and he will jumpj ESCAPED PELLAGRA WHY CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS DID NOT CONTRACT IT. Difference In the Methods of Hand ling the Cora Crop is Cited by Dr. Ganaway. "If moldy cornmeal would causa pellagra. what was the reason that the whole Confederate army did n't have the disease?' asked Represen tative Lamb, of Virginia, of Dr. B. T. Galloway. the chief of the bureau of plant industry, before the house agricultural committee. "They were so vigorous they could throw it off. I presume," answered Dr. Galloway. "But there have been great changes in the method of handling corn. The old 'nethod of topping the corn resulted in bet ter maturing and in better harden ed grain than we get in the new process. although that has not been thorougly established. "Great quantities of corn are now shipped into the South from the MIssissip~i valley and other corn producing sections of the country. and the movement usually begins soon after the corn Is harvested and corn passing from the cold re gions into the warmer section will sweat. It will undergo fermentation that we know very little or nothing about and large quantities of that corn are sold in the market after it has gone through one of these processes, and It deteriorates. "We are endeavoring to deter mine what these changes are and to seegregate or Isolate certain of ,these substances which might be# Injurious. If taken in considerable quantities. As corn has been brought into the pellagra problem and the Department of Agricultur stands sponsor for the greatest crop the world has ever known, we want to know if It Is the cause of the disease and If It is not the case we want to know It."

A dispatch from Tallahassee, Fla.. says one of the postoffice robbers who was killed by the boy. .Sauls, Saturday. was identified by Post oIMce Inspector Fred Roege as "Ten nessee Dutch." a notorious cracks man, who recently made his escape from the Greenville.

GARFIEm IAUDS PIN~CHOT As the Most Acti ye Exponent of Teddy's Policies. At Cleveland. Ohio. Gifford Pin chot. the dIsmissed chief forester, was lauded In a public address by former Secretary of the Interior Jlas. R. Garfield. as the most active ex ponent of the Roosevelt policies. "Gifford Pinchot, who has just left the service of the national gov ernment. Is the one man who per. hap. worked the hardest for the Roosevelt doctrine of conservation of our natural recources and his principle of equa' opportunities for all." said Mr. Garfield. speaking at Goodrich House. a social settle' ment, on "Tne Roosevelt Poll cies." "His departure from the national service Is one of the greatest loss es the national government has sus tained in recent years." Mr. Garfield expressed the hope that Mr. Pinchot's activities as a friend of the conservation movement would be continued as a private citi sen. YEGGMEN STRIKE EFFINGHrAw Postnone, Freight Depot and E: press Omeie Robbed. News was received from Effng ham, in the lower part of Florence county, to the effect that the post offce at that place. as well as the Coast LUne's freight station and the Southern Express offie. had been~ broken Into Monday night and rob bed. The burglars, It Is stated, se cured about $25 In cash and some stamps from the postoffce and open ed a number of letters and pack ages in the offce. They secured some money from the freight depot and express offce and several gal lons of liquor, which was In the building on consignment. As yet the robbers have not been caught. Rmener Ths Farmrs The Marion Star says "when the farmers begin to plan for this year's crop they should not think too much about the present prospective high' Fprice of cotton, but remember that the price of everything else raised on the farm has advanced In pro porton. Even If It were certain that the next crop would sell as well as the last, and that the seasons would be favorable for production ot th stapl it would not pay South Carolina farmrs to neglect other crops and plant cotton exclusively. for everything they have to buy will cost them correspondingly high prices.

But Only the Officers and Witness es Were Allowed to Hear the Child's Testimony. Johnnie Rose. alias John Wood. a Regro boy about eighteen years ot age. was tried and convicted at Kingstree on Tuesday morning of attempting to commit an assault on a little white girl and sentenced to be hung on February 4. On the 6th of last December a little white girl. 14 years of age. was on her way to school with her books and a stilak of sugar cane for lunch. In passing through x tact of wooded land she was interzrptea by th' negro who asked her for a piece of sugar cane. She granted! his request by handing him the en tire stalk and after receiving the remaining portion from him. % hen she attempted to pass, she w%: seiz ed by the throat and dragged from the road into the underbrush. For tunately a passer-by heard her screams and rushed to the scene in time. The child. bleading from the scratches of her assailant and suf fering from the violent throttling. was placed in the hands of solici tous neighbors and an immediate search was begun for the negro. In a short time he was captured and after having been positively Identi fled was hurried to Kingstree and placed in the county jail, and non' too soon, for a mob to lynch him was being rapidly organized. On the night of the same day 4 body of armed men from the neigh borhood of the crime halted at the outskirts of the town and sent a delegation to Sheriff Graham re | questing his influence In securing an immediate trial and threatening an attempt to prevent the law from I taking Its course. The sheriff prom ised to use his efforts to have a special term of court ordered. per suaded the crowd to disband and return to their homes. The special term was ordered as quickly as possible and Tuesday morning the court was opened by Judge T. S. Sease. When the jury had been empannelled there was hardly standing room in the build ing and the sheriff and his bailiffs bad no little difficulty in preserving silence. The victim of the attempted as sault was the first witness called by the State and out of respect for her the judge, upon the motion of solicitor, ordered the court room Scleared, allowing only the officers of the court and the witnesses to re main in the building during the time that the child detailed her story of the vicious assault. She unhesitating ly identmed the defendant and told with considerable clearness the de tails of the crime. After examining several other wit nesses. hte State rested and the defense offered no testimony. Upon b earing the arguments on both sides and the charge, the jury retired and returned within 10 minutes with a verdict of guilty. Judge Sease, af ter admonishing the doomed man with a few appropriate remarks. passed the death sentence that he be hanged on the 4th day of Feb ruary. THREE AUTOISTS KILLED. Auto and Trolley Car Meet With i Fatal Results. At Atlanta three men were kill ed and two others Injured, one se riously. when the automobile in which they were riding collided with a street car late In the afternoon a few days ago. The automobile was wrecked and the street car badly damaged. The accident occurred ou Peachtree road and resulted from an attempt on the part of the automo bile driver to pass between another automobile going in the same direc tion and an approaching street car. Both automobiles, It Is said, were going at a high rate of speed. The dead: Win. W. Garner. aged 21; Frank George. aged 21; Harold E. George. aged 9. W. H. George. father of the dead brothers, and an automobile dealer was slightly In jured, and F. S. Gable, the driver. was seriously injured. Garner. for whom a demonstra tion of the automobile was being made, is an inspector of the Wes tern and Atlantic Railroad. and had ust a few days ago been discharg ed from a local hospital. after re covering from a recent railroad ac cident. How to Attract the Buyer. An advertising expert tells this story: One Saturday aftersoon two bootblacks were trying to draw trade. TheIr stands were similar In appear ance. the boys looked alike, and their locatons were of equal value. Ons called out "shine, shine, get a shine here." briskly enough. The other called out. "Get your Sunday shine. get your Sunday shine." The sec ond boy did a rushing business, while the first was Idle. Quite a lesson there for the ad vertiser. The second boy won out because he called the attention of people to a need they had already felt and recognized. He knew that a lot of them would need a shine the next day, and he simply called their attestion to a want they had already felt. The successful adver tiser calls attention to a want the public has already felt. He wastes no breath or space In trying to per suade them of some need that they had not recognized as a need. If tha pubic wants to save money. the suc cessful advertiser emphasizes prices. If the public w-ants style first the good advrstiser conveys the impres sion of fashion and modishness. If g d wearing goods are what Is want ed, the advertiser emphasizes dura bility.

In the house Mr. Ayer present ed a resolution, which was adopted, inviting Mr. James H'enry Rice, Jr.. of the State Audubon Society, to address both branches on the subject of protection of game. The house did not touch its long calendar inherited from the lasl session, adjourning half an hour after convening until 11 o'clock Wednesday. The senate, however. waded through Its calendar, which contain ed one third reading bill and SS second reading bills.

The hookworm was discovered and the seriousness of its ravages first recognized In Celyon. thirty years ago, according to Walter A. Court ney. lately Ceylon commissioner to the United States and befote that a British official and planter in the Asiatic country. "It was back in 1880." said Mr. Courtney. who was in New York on government business Monday. "that a British medical supervisor. named Thornton. determined to mnd out what was the trouble with the coolies on my estate. Two-thirds of them had been stricken hopeless -ly lazy and seemed to be acected with some undemable physical dis abilIty which made It impossible roz them to work. "Dr. Thornton experimented and eventually found the parasite-the hookworm. The government doc tors discussed the disease and nam ed it ankylostomasis. They found that the natives had got the dis ease by going barefoot in the soft loam on a certain portion of the estate. "After long study the doctors found that they could cure the vic tims of the disease In about a month's time. They used two or three drugs with success. notably epsom salts and thymol, but got their best results from carefully dieting their patients." Home Interest First. The home paper has become e essential a part of the reading of every well informed family, that there are few people nowadays who sacrifice theIr own local newspaper in order to get a metropolitan sheet. A great many famIlies feel both t' be necessary, but if one has to choor.x there are today few who would p.ck the distant journal int preference to the one close to thel more Intimate Interests. After alr. the average citizen is far more con cerned about the affairs of his own home city than about the affairs of the world. No matter how much ne may read about congress, about for "'ign affairs, about general politics. if he fails to know what his own home government is going to do about his taxes, If he falls to know what kind of schools and streets are being provided for him. If he is ignorant of the activities of the societies and churches conducted close by him, he Is a pretty poor sort of citizen. To the housewife. the some paper is absolutely essen tial. because it conveys the most im - portant business news, the offerings of the home merchants. Vice flaunts itself defiantiy when *ver it is posrible to do so, an-1 its possibility has been made easy by the supineness and oftentimes the connivance of the authorities. whose duty it was to uproot vice and enfoce law. But in recent years vic= Is be ing badly h!t as an improve-l public conscience puts better men Into of flee and demands that they maintain and put the law in operation. The gamblers. who the other day openly defied the gcrernor of Indlana by attemp::: to start a gamblin: re sort in that State a few miles from Chicago. are now wiser and sadder men. in that they realize that when an ollicial determines to enforce the.' law it can be enforced, and that is wha't Governor M\arshall of Indiana did.t What w" keep by us is our own and may be changed or mended. but the word that has escaped our lips is beyond recall.

A Washington dispatch says the a.lready broad breach between the "organization" of the house of rep resentatives and the Republican in surgents -was widened peroeptibly Monday. Monday night there was every evidence that mutually hostilA acts of the past few days would continue with increasing bitterness. All day the insurgents caucussed in little groups of twos, threes an'i fours on the house floor, in the cloak rooms and the members lob by. discussing the situation and d bating the desirability of an early meeting to form a battle front to meet the onslaughts that are report ed to be coming from the organi' zation. Much secrecy was observed among them. No one would say when a formal meeting will be held. It became known Monday that the party caucus will be invoked against the insurgents, and on every occasion when there are differences between the .1epublican members that insurgen.s will be made to fol low the program or be forced out side the pale of the party. The announcement did not die concert the recalcitrant Represen tatives. They were free In theit expressed opinions that no compul sory measures would avail anythinZ to the organization. If the test of regularity lies in following the "m chine" as several denominated it, they said they preferred to be Ir regular. The first battle will occur. it 1 believed, over the selection of thf committee by the house to investi gate the Ballinger-Pinchot embrec glio. which is several days in the future. The house Republican: doubtless will hold a caucus t( name a committee and map out : program, and here the insurgents it is predicted. "fish or cut bait." A dozen insurgents said privatel: that they would not attend any cau cus where they knew there was i pre-arranged plan to discredit them Representative Underwood. speak ing for the Democrats of the house said the mir&rity would probabl: hold a caucus also on the Ballinger Pinchot inquisition. There is . prospect of a joint Democratic-Re publican insurgent committee belni named to oppose the committee be ing named to oppose the committet of the regular Republicans, whici would bring a test battie on th' floor. "We are like the outside nine., said Mr. Underwood, "waiting t< see which way the ball i going t< be batted. We can't play until the: hit something in our direction.'' Trhe letter issued by the Repub lican congressional committee which had the effect of throwing few bricks into the insurgent camp came from the "literary bureau,' maintained by that organization. T1 was stated that the congressiona comnittee did not exist as a bod: at this time and therefore was no1 responsible. Representative McKinley. of fIl nois, chairman of the committee, ad mitted there was virtually no com mit tee in existance now, but he him self assumed responsibility for th4 letter. It was sent out, he said, under his guidance from the Repub lican headquarters in Washington, as part of the regular "weekly newi letter." COOK A NERV'OUS WRECK. Could Not Stand Strain of Further Controversy. Another member of the Cook family, this time Mrs. Josephine Dudley. a sister of the c..plorer's wife, made a statement. Mrs. Dudley says Dr. Cook Is a nervous wreck, unable to think con secutively, and that the reason he remains in hiding is that he could not stand the strain of further con troversy. "We are praying," said Mrs. Dud bey. 'that he will soon succeed, so that he may come forward and de fe- d himself. Mrs. Cook is at her husband's side. She loves him and trusts him. There has been no quar rel, there never was any trouble between them about money." Mrs. Dudley received a messagr, she said, from Walter Lonsdale, Dr. Cook's secretary, dated Copenhagen. and reading as follows. "Cable Fred's address at once. Al important. Must see him now." Mrs. Dudley has not answered the message yet, because she fears it :nay be a trap. The doctor has nad a disheartening relapse, she said, and it is important that his seclu ion aball not be disturbed. She says she is aware of the doctor's irhereabouts, but will not even specd 'y whether he is in this country or troad. Shoots Wife Kills Himself.

In an address at Greenville on Wednesday Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, of the departmeat of agriculture made a strong plea for the establish ment of farm-training schools to supplement the State agricultural colleges. The resultant benefit to the community and the country at large would be immense. Dr. Knapp pointed out, because of the increas ed production of food supplies and the better condition of those who produced the nation's food. "At the last census." said Dr. Knapp, "there were 2,000.000 rent ed farms and 10,500.000 laborers on all the farns of the United States. What per cent of the rt were well farmed-Mnd-wtat per cent of the 10.00.000 farmers were real ly good farmers? Possibly 1 per cent and 5 per cent were fairly good; 94 per cent get from one-half to one-fourth of what they should obtain from the soil. This loss must not be regarded as ndividual; It is a loss to the State, to the com munity. What does this State pro pose to do about it? The speaker declared the masses must be divided Into two classes those who could afford to attend a school of some kind and those who s could not leave home to obtain an education and who, therefore, must get their education In or near their homes. For such as were able to de s vote some time to study. Dr. Knapp advocated their attendance on a farm g training school, such as he outlin ed. e "The farm training school must be both effective and 'economical.' he it said. "The training must fit men to do the work on the farm necessary .e for them to do and. inasmuch as L their funds are limited, It must be a economical. and even If their funds were not limited the farmer must learn economy." t Such a school. In Dr. -Knapp's opin Ion, should be equipped with simple apparats; it should make a feature of manual labor and It should strive 'o to teach by practical methods rather d. than through the agency of books. "Now. after some of these .funda a mental things are acquired," continu T Y ed Dr. Knapp. "which of course must be acquired along with the other Lt studies, what actual knowledge must | be obtained? And among the actual knowledge that he needs to acquire ~r ifor the farm-and I am now discuss ) lng the man who proposes to live on the farm-are the following: | "How to make a crop successful | ly, which will Include the prepara tion of seed bed, the seed and culti ~fvation; how to do his work the moet l economically-which would include the kind of teams, the feeding of C teams, the use of the best farm tools, -'etc.; the feeding of animals and the value of the meadow and the pas ~t ture; the use of green crops and t the economic ration" The improvement of the fara C- would follow Immediately on the e adoption of modern methods and the application of the above knowledge -e to its administration; said Dr. Knapp. e He decleared, also, that the improve ments on farms at the present time V were nearly all of a temporary na 'E ture and, therefore, costly In the long run. "The cost of repairs is e too great," he said, "and the life -. of the Improvement is too short" Dr. Knapp concluded his address with a glowing tribute to the farm er's wife. He dwelt upon her prac 5 ticability and her love for her home. I Taking one such woman, whose name he did not mention, he said: e "Sh.. believed In housekeeping as Y a fine art and an art worthy of-iy r woman. Such a woman isa treasure In any household and worthy of all b honor by the best man that ever lived." I Dr. Knapp is delivering a series of these addresses under the auspices of the Southern railway. A large crowd of farmers from the f Piedmont section of South Carolina heard Dr. Knapp. The demonstrii I tion agents of the State also held S 1 meeting TRAMP PAYS OLD SCORE. Timely Aid Given Him Brings Hand some Brs Seven years ago James L. Har vey. now a Rio Grande switchman at Denver, Col.. was brakeman on a frieght In Oklahoma and befriend ed a tramp. A few days ago Harvey received a letter from the tramp, Charles McNamara, now a rich miner of Murray, Idaho, Inclosing a check for $500 as a Cristma* gift. Hzr - iey permitted Mc~amara to ride ov-er his division, gave him cloth Ing, a meal, a bed and a $2 bill. MtcNamara says In his letter that he had resolved to kill himself when he met Harvey. But the help he got gave him courage to renew his battle with the world, and he Is now prosperous. He 'tells Harvey to "rive the high sign" when he wants anything. "Glavis and Pinchot." says The~ State. "who have been dismissed from the public service, fell from grace because they, right or wrong. spoke In the ezterest of the public. and against a cabinet officer sus pected by them of being the friend of gigantic grafters, and enabling them to ravish the public domain. And in action against those public servants Sir. Taft has defended the accused Ballinger." 3Mayor Gaynor of New York Is re 'quiring city employes to work from 9 to 5. It is poor policy to over work them so. They will soon need about six weeks leave of absence
