The King, with some of hls ministers st his side, haa been di recting and auprevUing the relief work, yet he^ias found time to visit the Bold hospitals and sp_eak words of encouragement to his stricken sub jects. The queen has hqeir spending 16 hours a day beside the sick beds on the Regina Elena, attending and consoling and encouraging. The brunt of the work of rescue has fallen on the sailors, foreigners as well as Italians, and all have done their duty nobly. Praise of the Rus sians are on every lip. They hesi tated before no danger, digging un der tottering walls or entering the uneafost shells when asked to do ro by some frantic woman who had nqi lost all hope that husband or child was still alive.

No such generous help ever was extended to a stricken people by this government before.

Over $330,- 000 has been collected through the Red Cross alone, of which $60,000 represents the advance referred to, one-half of which The Christian Herald has agreed to raise. Because of the belief of the prime minister of Italy, expressed In a mes sage today, in response to a qible- gram from the president to Ambas sador Griscom, transmitted last Sat urday, that the American fleet of oattleships will arrive at the scene of disaster too late to be of great assistance, qonferences are being held with the view to rearrangitiR heir sailing programfh**, especially .s It has been determined that the leet's visit to the several Italian oorta where preparations were mak ing for Its appropriate reception vouid be ill-timed under the present ircumstances. dlmiaisjiing In Intensity.

The bodies of the dead lay everywhere on the stirface of the ruins and limbs protruded here and there from the wreckage. . In the camp of the refugees piteous scenes were enacted. Conrtant light shocks followed the first great disturbance until forty five were recorded. The home of :hc American- consul, Dr. Cheney, was crumbled In the first shock and Its inmates were almost Inextricably hurled beneath the ruins.

Tsn Ml m aadja whlt* with the wire seriously o congress today asked for a direct appropriation of $500,000. At the conference at the White House last night, attended by Speak er Cannon, $500,000 was agreed up- in as the' amount which should be apjiroprlatod. Ten minutes before the house convened the speaker re ceived a’ letter from the Whitt House suggesting that the amount bo Increased to $800,000.

At he hurried meeting of the commit tee In front of the speaker’s desk, ‘he $500,000 which hhd been placed In Its measure was Increased to con form with the president’s later rec- ommendation. The president's mes sage follows: To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: - “Tho appalling calamity which has befallen the people of Italy Is followed by distress throughout a wide region among many thousandc who have escaped with life, \bui whose shelter and fbod and means of life are destroyed. The ordinary of civilized communities is paralyzed and an expectional emergency exists, which demands that the obligations of humanity should regard no limL of national lings. “The immense debt of civilization to Italy; the warm and steadfast friendship between that country and. our own; the affections for their na tive land felt by a great number of good American citizens who are im migrants from Italy; the abundance with which God has blessed us In our safety—all these prompt us to immediate and effective relief. “Private generosity Is responding nobly to the demand by contrl* \- tions through the safe and ce- C { eat channel ofthe American Red Cross society. -xi- - - - •= “Confident oi your approval 1 have orderei tho govejyunent sup ply ships Celtic and Culgoa to the rcehe of disaster, where, upon re ceiving the authority which 1 now asit from you. they will be able- to dispense food, clothing and other supplies with which they are laden to the value of about $300,000.

"I recommend that the congress approve the application of supplies ner, while the man toiled In the cot ton. And I got to thinking over tho matter. 1'here was no stock on tin place but the mules that worked the cotton. And as I saw that bacon, l thought that some farmer out West raised that hog. and probably made something out of it. Some railroad carried It to Chicago, and certainly mad* money. Some packer bought and Cured tho , and grew to be a milltonalrj. Another railroad brought it South and paid dividends by llolnf it. Soon* merchant bought it, and sold it to that man out there In the col ton field at a big profit—and he works all .summer in the cotton making, all-these people prosperous out of his one crop, while at the end of the year he is as poor as ever, and his land grows less and less productive, while he might have made all those profits himself In raising the bacon at- home. , The Western farmer makes corn, the railroads haul It, the merchant buys It and,sens it to t^e man who could raise the corn at more profit than the Western farmer If he im proved his land. Yet he goes on In the old hopeless way imagining that cotton Is the only tiling .o get mon ey out of, and that corn, oats, and wheat are only “supplies, and the Western farmer gets rich supplying him When will the cotton farmer get out of this slavery to everybody else? Ncrt till he goes to farming Just a* the Northern and Western farmers do.

Now, then, is/the t.me to resolve to change all this. Plan a rotation for your farm and stick to It, grow plenty of forage and make'Hlanure. and when you once have manure enough to cover a corn-field, you will be on the road out of this slav ery to the North and West. Nine-tenths of the letters I get from farmers ask what fertilizer I shall use for this, that or the other crop, when the man who farms right will need to buy little, and that only of the mineral forms of acid phos phate and potash, or but one of these, perhaps. I have been hammering away a' this for many years, and yet .how few have taken the Idea. But 1 do hear now and then from farmers who have broken loose from thp old ruts, anJ are succeeding.

Walhalla, Jan. 4.—Mann Phillips a young white man, was found dead two miles south of Walhalla yester day afternoon. Officers and an im mense crowd rushed to the scene It was seen at once that young Phil lips had been murdered and a ciue was started that led to the arrest last night of two young men, De- Wltt and Cleo Vandiver of West minster. It is believed that Phillips was killed Thursday night and carried dead or dying to the place where he was found, as tracks of several oth ers were seen there. The only wound was a stab Into the heart. Young Phillips had on his overcoat and heavy driving gloves and no knife or pistol was found-upon his person. This murder has stirred the com munity, as it has never been stirred before and wild rumors of sensational nature qre afloat everywhere. Mann Phillips formerly lived here and Is well connected. The Vandi vers are among the most prominent people in the county. - / Made Solemn Pledge.

"We have hidden it in the most 'mposslbie places we could think of.” said Mrs. Ehlenfeldt. “This hu. hand of mine Is a genius. I have not reported it until It became ab- ‘-olutely necessary, hut he has an abnurma' instinct for finding money. No matter how welt hidden it Is bf goes right to the place and gets it without any search or trouble.” A test in the State’s Attorney's office was then arranged. Money was concealed In a desk drawer. Ehlenfeldt was then taken Into the office. He looked around the room an Instant, then suddenly walked to the drawer and drew out the hidden money. Mrs. Ehlenfeldt says she saved $96, which she expected to pay on mortgages. She divided the sum into ten portions and bid It in as many places—in a ho'e m a flower bed, In a hole In a closet wall, under a clothes’ chew In the barn and In a bag at the bottom of a flour bar rel, on which she thr?w more than 10 pounds of flour..
