?oel has been employed by the Aiken
County Anti-Tuberculosis league as *
trained nurse to assist the league in
its work for the prventioq of the
white plague. The league has been
?s*y active in its inauguration 'of,*
war against consumption., Altho^h
- tfce league has been organised only a
/?W weeks, practical results are now
being obtained, and the people at?
being instructed in the means of pre*
venting the disease.
It is only in rcent years that means
for ooping with this dread disease
hare been discovered, and this knowl
edge is not yet prevalent among the
people, and the dissominatipn of this
knowledge is the primal objifet for the
lftafue in this country. No dues are
paid for membership in the league,
but voluntary subscriptions are being
received by the officers of the prose
cution of the work. M>ny, of the
Northern visitors have liberally help
ed in this work.
Mips Rnveqel has already ? com- 1
?aenced her work. She devotes the
forenoons to the work, making visits
to all parties Vrho may rteed her as
aesistance, which is given, not from a
aei stance, which in giveii? not from a
oharitable standpoint, but a matter
of giving valuable suggestions for the
eanng of patients, prevention of the
spread to ot^cr members yjf the fam
llv and to persons with whom infect
ed persons may eome in contact. Miss
Kavencl has had long ezperienct as a
nurse, and she has entered the work j
with spirit. She will make periodical
reports to the' president of the league,
Dr. Fillmore Moore.
The trained, nurse will conduot her i
vwork in conjunction with the board
of health. Miss Ilevenel will also
consult with the physicians of tbe
city and work in conjunction with
them. Cases that are reported to her
as needing tissistance or advice she
will visit. The objoct of) this is, of
course, to prevent the* further spread
of the disease^ and it is stated that
wfcere persons refuse to heed friendly
and voluntary suggestions for sanita
tion and safety, of the people against
tuDerculosis, such cases will be re
ferred to the board of health to take
such action as they see flt for public
?afety.

Cheraw, Special.? A ease of more
than usual interest was disposed of
at the Criminal Court for Chesterfield

not yit 20, of good family, shot one

fearing the drift of public sentiment
that ran high on account of several
homicides, escaped from jail and
went to Texas, tyherc he marrvd and
lived quietly with his family until
recently when he was brought back
and convicted. The sontence was
made light and a pardon will be
sought at an enrly day.

Harris's close friend, called upoh

eral days ago for the purpose of dis
cussing Crum's successor vith the

sent to the Senate when the extra
sossion begins next Monday, and that
there will be no trouble as to confirm
ing the nomination. Mr. Durant is a
Vale graduate aud a man of consider,
able means. It is believed that his

Alter one of the ht oriu i <?st sessions
tmnniisWy, the House of Ucpresen
tatives regardless of party alignment,
adopted, 211 to 172, a resolution by
Mr. Fitzgerald, (Democrat), of New
Vnrk, whf'rpTiy the rules were wmciuU
ed in several important particulars.
The resolution was a substitute
for One offered by Mr. Clark, of
Missouri.
Its adoption was accomplished only
after the "insurgents." with the aid
of the Democi ats, with one or two
exceptions, lied won a decided pre
liminary victory by voting down a
resolution by Mr. Dalxcll, of Pennsyl
vania, making the unamended rules
of the Sixtieth Congress applicable
to the present Congress. The call
of the roll on the Clurk resolution
was followed with interest.
As analyzed by parliamentarians
the nmendment makes three impor
tant changes:
First, it establishes a 'ualeudur for
unanimous consents,' the effect of
which is to enable a member to have
a proposition brought before the
House without having to go to the
Speaker for recognition. This ehan^o,
they say, will bo a relief to the
Speaker.
Second. . When consideration of a
bill is concluded and the previous
question is ordered the rules hereto
fore have provided for a motion to
comnlit with or without instructions.
It has boen the practice to recognize
a member of the majority party to
make this motion and thus prevent
the minority from offering such in
structions as it may desire. The new
rule gives the minority the preference
in making such a motion and thus
enables it to get a record vote on_
propositions which would otherwise
be settled in committee of the whole
house, where no record vote is poa
siblo.*
Third. It protects the calendar
Wednesday by requiring a two-third
Instead of a majority voto to set it
aside.
Three hundred and eight-two mem
bers responded to their names, more
than a quorum, when the House
convened. Mr. Currier, of New Hamp
shire. nominated Joseph G. Connon,
of Illinois, for Speaker and Mr. Clay
ton, of Alabairn, presented the name
of Champ Clcik, of Missouri. Mr.
Cannon was elected by a vote of 204
to 360 fpr Clark.

The decision was announced at the
close ot au argument by Assistant
District Attorney Wllkerson, and thu
Jury wan Immediately summoned and
Instructed to roturn a yordlct of not
KUllty.
This means that nil but two of tho
pending Indictments against the
Btandard Oil Company of Indiana aro
void and will be abandoned by tho
Government.
The two cases not affected by t|ila
action are cases Involving the ship
ment of 1915 carloadB of oil from
Whiting to KvansviUe, Ind., via Dol
ton Junction, over the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois Railroad.
Tho prosecution, which ended in
failuro after having once been tried
by Judge K. M. Landis, whoao decis
ion was reversed by tho Court of Aps
peals, had its beginning August 27,
1906. |
Ten Indictments were returned by
a Federal Orand Jury, charging the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana
with accepting rebates from railway*
on shipments of oil from Whiting.
Demurrers to two of these, Involv
ing shipments over tho Chicago and
Eastern Illinois Railroad and connect
lng roads to Grand Junction. Tenn..
were sustained and tho indictments
were quashed. Tho remaining bills
were demurred to, but tho demurrers
wore overruled.
Two of the eight Indictments Inr
?olved shipments over tho Chicago
and Alton Railroad from Whiting to
East St. Louis, one containing 1 0 0 :t
counts and the other 134 counts. It
was tho 1903 count indictment on
which tho oil company prosecution
was based.
With 140 counts allowed to stnnd
the case went to trial before Jud?e
Landis March 4, 1907. The trial
took six weeks, and resulted in a ver
dict of guilty.
Arguments for a now trial were
heard, and a motion for a now trial
was denied. On August 3, 1907,
Judge Landis Imposod his famous
$29,240,000 fine.
On appeal, the case went to the
U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals ond
was argued a year ago. The decision
of tho Court of Appeals reversing
Judge Landis, and remanding the
case for a new trial, was given July
12, 1908.
