of gas and dust. I ,

Py the narrow margin of five vote
the house passed the wool tariff r<
vision bill over President Taft's vote
The vote, 171 to su. was made poss!
iile only by the defection of twentj

Democrats. The announcement o
Democratic success created a will

Universal parcels post system in
the United States is assured by the
i action of the senate in formally rati
fylng its action in adopting the
Bourne plan, based on a zone system
which provides for a maximum
i charge of $1.32 for transporting an
eleven-pound package over eighteen
i hundred miles. The Bourne provia
ion is a fair, workable, economically
sound, long-desired scheme for a general
parcels post. This ends a long
k fight in which the express companies
of the country have exerted their ut[
most effort to prevent the adoption
, of a parcels post system

1 Campaign in Colleton County.
s The first meeting of the Colleton
county campaign was held at Sniders
' and was a model of decorum and or3
der. There was no Blease and Jones
" in it, owing to the resolution by W.
3 C. Brandt, which was adopted by the
audience and campaign party, asking
" that the candidates be not requested
1 to announce how they stand cm the
3 governor's race. It is practically certain
that there are at least three, pos*
sibly four, Jones men in the race for
the legislature, and a majority for
| county offices are lined up for Jones.
* One Killed, Two Injured in Explosion.
While a mixture of boiling hot ros3
in, naphtha and benzine was being
' pumped into one of the tanks in the
' still house of the chemical works just
on the suburbs of Conway, an exploj
sion occurred whieh rent the tank in
twain, scalding to death the night
j foreman. Arthur Burfroughs, and seri'
ously burning two negro employes,
one of whom will die. On account of
r the accident occurring so early in
f the mor-niHg-ftftd-^htr fact -that tliCTr'
were few present at the time of the
f explosion details are quite meagre.

Campaign In Marion County.
About 600 people greeted the Mai
| rion county campaigners at the Marion
f opera house and notwithstanding the
- i weather listened attentively to the
1 discussion. The interest of the
I campaign in this county centres in
;! the race fo rthe senate and the race
r for county treasurer. The real issues
- on which the people desired to be en1
lightened formed a small part of the
; discussion since the candidates felt
compelled to speak to the charges
1 which had been brought against them
>. by their opponents. Subjects of ini
rest were mentioned.' however. These
t terest were mentioned however,
t These were concerning the good roads
i bond issue for Marion county, reducr
tion of taxes. improvemeil|s of rur
