Fort ifnatcly the department had just extinguished the first fire, and they, hurried the apparatus and all the reserve hose to the scene of the new tire which proved to be tho wooden store owned and occupied by L. M. Johnson, with a general mer chandise stock and an undertaking department. The store of Johnson was gutted, as was the store of Rubin. Tho Har ris Music Company's store suffered some.

May, who for a number of years has been in the employ of the city. This much is known, not because anyone "unearthed" it, but because Mr. May j himself went to his bondsmen and so stated. He giVes the amount as $fl, 100, and tho amount was made good, not by Mr. May's bondsmen, but by himself. After Mr. May's confession to his bondsmen there were many ru mors afloat, but they were merely ru mors, and it was the intention of the press, local papers, and correspond ents, to await the official statement from the council, which is having an examination made by tho Amorican Audit Company.

PRESS ASSOCIATION The 35th Annual Convention of Bouth Carolina Jouranalists Take in the Mountain City? Clemuon College Visited. Greenville, Special. ? Welcomed to GrecnyiHe in characteristic Green vijle manner and with true South Carolina hospitality, extended every courtesy hy city officials, business men, local press representatives and assured that " policemen are all asleep while editors roam around," the members of the South Carolina State press association gathered here Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night in the handsome new Ottaray hotel. I'nto them wus the key to Greenville turned over and with it they have unlocked the door leading directly to the home and the hearts and the minds of Greenville people. In a brief address Mayor Mahon j welcomed the editor* and their wives and their sweethearts and their dang lers. With dramatic effect lie pre sented them with a huge key which he, assured all would turn the lock that held hack the beauties and the secrets of Greenville. Wednesday morning the editors held a business meeting in the Olta ray assembly room, this being fol lowed by a trip to Clemson college, a train load of newspaper people en joying the afternoon on the C'lemson campus and in visiting the various departments of the institution. At the morning sessions papers were read by Mr. A. 11. Seats of The State, Columbia; M. 1'. Felder of the Dor chester Kaglo, W. W. Smoak, Jr., of the Walterhoro 1'rcss and Standard and T. II. Choker, Jr., of the Harts vi lie Messenger At Clemson. Members of t he association and their friends, numbering over 100, visited Clemson college in the after noon and were met by President MelJ, members of the board of trustees and the faculty for an inspection of the entire institution. The "Press" Welcomed. President MelJ welcomed the mem bers of the press party and explain ed that the invitation was extended in; order that the newspaper men might see exactly how the college was conducted. Pie regretted that the visitors had not cOjne during the session in ordet* that they might seel how the students worked," but he wished all to make a tour of the va rious buildings and see and have the various departments explained. There was nothing to conceal in the work ing of the institution. He thought it one to be proud of and he was satisfied that the people of the State would think likewise. Mr. Alan Johnstone madn a short talk along similar lines. lie was anxious for the press of (he State to be in touch with the college and the best way was to obtain it by a per sonal visit. President A.ull of the Press asso ciation responded, stating that the in vitation extended had been accepted and arrangements bad been made for the special train as soon as |>oHsibla. For t his train the Southern railway officials had kindly furnished trans portation for the entire party. A Life Trustee Speaks. President Mell then called upon ! Senator Tillman, a life trustee of the college. Ilis remarks were short. He said that he bad been in St. Louis and on hearing of the visit of the newspaper men had traveled back as quickly as possible. Had he known of it earlier he would have been bet ter prepared or would have dodged the meeting. He said he had the greatest respect for the newspapers. He agreed with Jefferson that a news pajH'r without government was bet ter than government without news-' pa]>ers. Sometimes, however, he was skeptical when! he rend the papers in the large cities? the cities of over 200,000 where the newspapers were metropolitan. They show *the. evi dence of a p<Twer that throws sand in the eyes of the people and helps defeat the interests of good govern ment. He was satisfied that the true statement of the situation arising would come from the small papers, especially the country press, although sometimes he was discouraged to read editorials in these papers that showed a disposition to echo the sentiments of the metropolitan journals. Referring to the college he said the. institution had nothing to con ceal. An open inspection of the in stitution was invited in every depart ment. The college. had been given a lot of money and perhaps like a man with a fat pocketbook might have spent some of it unwisely, but the results were worth it. Anvhow he wanted the newspaper people to sec exactly how things were conduct ed- , Some attractive souvenirs were giv en away ? little folders tied with the Cleinson colors and containing an in teresting statement of the history, the financial standing and the money received from 1889. to 1909.

In co rue Tax up to States. WflS-hi! i^ton. Special. ? It is now up to (lie legislatures of the several States to say whether there shall he an income lav amendment to the con stitution. By the decisive vote of 317 to 14, more than tho necessary two-thirds, the llouso Monday passed the Senate joint resolution providing for the submission of the question to the States. The negative votes were all cast by Republicans. No amendments having been made to the resolution, it ?now noes to the President for his signature. Practically four hours were con sumed m debating the proposition and this "VTorded many members, mostly on the Democratic side, an opportunity to air their views. Chair man I'ayne, of the ' commit tec on ways and menus, voiced the sentiment that such a tax would make "a na tion of liars," although he said it was well that such power should be given Congress, especially in times <>f war. x The burden of the l)emo? rsvtic speeches was that it was simply a case of stealing Democratic thninb.r, although some of the remarks i.n that side incidentally touched upon the tariff and the con>oration tax, with no little amount of castration of the Republicans for failing, as was alleged, to keep party pledges. "We welcome the conversion of the Republican party to another Democratic prim-iphv" was the com ment of Mr. Clark, of Missouri, tho minority loader.

Thix preliminary procedure conclud ed, Senator Daniel, of Virginia, junk ing minority member of tiie commit tee on nuance, disputed the state ment of the Senator from I 'tali that provision had been recommended by the committee.

A vole was taken upon it and it was rejected by a majority of ID, t In1 ballot being "JH t o 17. With the corporation tax provision thus established ns a part of the tar iff bill, there was considerable effort to amend it. In one notable case this effort was successful. Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, who has been a severe critic of the provision ever since its introduction because it excluded "holding" companies, renewed his criticism and was supported by other Senators. The result was the accep tance of an amendment by. Mr. Clapp ! striking out the exemption of such companies. Assurance was nlso given that every effort would be made to ! ? ? ? % I retain the amendment m conference.

While each would like to carry its i>oint it is realized that conces sions must he made and tho Senate and the House must get together.
