MARCH 19, 1902. A London publisher Iihs off red Sniitos-Dumont a prize of $2 000 to make h trip ftotu London to Birmingham?100 miles?in his | tiirship, without stopping, and ! Satitos-Duinotit has had the oom- i peiiton opener I to the world, the' airship that makes the trip the; quickest to lake the cash. Now is ' tue time to bring out your flyer. ; 4- + + 'Air*. Chinese Minister has dis-! covered another reign of terror , among the Chinese in Colorado. , Hud has got tlie Secretary of State to ask the governor of Colorado to ; look into the matter. He can look in or look out, but if the miners' j union of Ouray has said the Chin 1 ese must go from the place, we ( are inclined to think they will go. Gen. Free Funktox made a hull's eye when he said: "It is perfectly proper for us to have all aorts of opinions as to what we shall do with the Philippines, but, >r heaven's sake, let lis keep them H| W to ourselves until every inch < f Hip thai territory recognizes the sov- j I i reignty of the United Stutes. The Amendment-prohibiting senators, representatives and other of. ficia'a becoming beneficiaries under the Ship Subsidy bill offered by MoLaurin, of Miss., is calculated to make every honest. American blush with slmine, to think that it should have been considered neeessury. * ? The governor of Virginia had all the politician's fear of the [strikers' mob which controlled Norfolk for a time, but lie doesn't deserve to be singled out fi?r abuse any more than the other men who j nave unuer similar circum -.tam-es acted similarly. ft ft ft It ought to be com for ti n g, although we are sure it isn't, to tho fellow who always wants to borrow money, to know that a new national bank, which expects to live by loaning money, is established in this country every day. - Several reasons have been given out, but our guess is that die President headed off his daughter's intended coronation | trip because In* knows adverse public opinion when he he meets |f it in the road.

The House fighters could get more gate money than woutd be needed for the most extensive ; Cuban relief asked for, if they wool I pair off and do their scrapping under the regular ring rules. ^ ft ft The Kaiser will quickly discover that we can lie firm as well iim courteous, if he should bo unwise enough to ask us to let liiin establish naval stations 111 American waters. ft ft Attorney General Knox will now proceed to see whether his of.

Would it have been more wick- j ed to let 2,000 Cencus clerks alip i lluough the civil service gate than to close the gate after 700 got t h rough ? # * * If a number of Senators are not trying to disgust the people with the whole Isthmian canal <|iieHtion their talk aud actions are deceptive.

Cecil Rhodes downed many an opponent, but. like the re.->! of iih, lie had to throw up his hands when d. att took the road If anyone thinks the sugar beet j growers haven't got a Congre-aionnother think Subsidy Bill Passes Senate. A Washington despatch of Monday says that after prolonged debute, the senate today passed the ship subsidy bill, the final vote beiup 42 to 31. Senators A'lison and Del liver of Iowa, Spooner and Quartes of Wisconsin and Proctor and Dillingham of Ve niont, Republicans, voted a pa in flnal pnssape of the bill. Scnat r M-Laurin. of South Carolina, voted for it. The Commutation Tax. Some question has arisen in reference to the commutation tax. Heretofore the tax has been different in certain counties, some hav! insr it $1. others ?2 and still others a different tipure. The last legislature passed an act makiup the tax unitormlv $1 and roquir np that it should be paid by March 31. In some counties where the tax was $2 it had already been paid by commuters, and county treasurers have been makiup inquiries what must be done about it. Thoupli no otlieial opinion has . been made on the question it has ! been found that the act does not po into ? ffect until the 17th inst so up to that, time the old lawstood as it previously was in tinvarious counties. Commuters who pay between now and March 31. will ">iv h ive to jmy ?1. -Uoliunbin Record. Southern Gets The 3 C's. The road know in the days of its projection as the Three ('V. has, by the act. of the Legislature, passed into the hands of the Southern Railway. The vim and spirit of Col. Tripp has kept the road from falling to pieces, and it is said that it will cost the Southern $100,000 to make the road bed safe or passable in some places. The S uthern will take charge of the old road on the first day of April and will immediately commence to rehahnitite it. The road bed will be strengthened and trestles rebuilt in part. Through trains from Marion to Columbia will at once be put on, reaching the latter city vi i Camden. Kingsville and the South Carolina road. ?Charleston Post. In the Rock Kill Herald of today. Col. Tripp denies ihe above statement and says he knows nothing of the Southern's taking charge of the road on April 1. Is it Warren's Body? A Branchville despatch of Friday to The State says that the body of a man?supposed to be that of Bartow Warren ? was found floating in lOdisto river this morning about a ipiarter of a mile below where the express safe was thrown in the river some time ago. The body is badly decomposed, j There were a shell belt and two pistols buckled aroun I the body j and express envelopes in the man's p< ickets. One eye and a half ?>f the side of the face are tfone. Tbe body j nieasures 5 feet S incites; the shoe | is number six, the hand resembles that of a woman. There is a j?old filling in one tooth. A belt around the body contains two dS-ealibre. 6-inch pistols and lie wore one cheap nickel watch, showing time 8-45. Blue coat and vest and dark h ck pants are the attire. On account of the deeomp sition of the b sly it. could not be positively identitied, but from; what parties say it is almost certain that it is the body of Bartow Warren. It not Warren it is almost certain that it is the bod v of one of the men connected with the express robbery near Fifty-eiobt on the night of January 27tb.
