TAKES THE Gov. Ansel Is Inducted Into Of flee Once Again. MAKES NEW RE! His Inaugural Sp«ech‘ Waa Xtrj Hhort and Contains Two Important Recommendations: That Drain- i ' ' age Commission be Created and Good Roads 1'roblein be Tackled. ^ — -In his second inaugural address delivered Wednesday afternoon, im mediately after the oath of office had been administered to him, Gov ernor Ansel said: Gentlemen of the* General Assem bly and my fellow citizens: For the second time I am here to assume the duties and responsibilities of the highest State officer in the gift of the people. For a second time, by the votes of the people, I am exalted to the position of governor of this great commonwealth. 1 pm truly grateful for this manifestation of confidence and esteem and 1 am ful ly sensible of my inability to dis charge fully the duties/incumbent upon me without yojir valuable and necessary assistance. I plead for a oontiauance of the, sympathy and help that you have given me during the past two years. I have endeavored to discharge the duties of my office with fidelity and an eye single to the best inter ests of all the people. That I have made mistakes goes without saying, but they have been of the head and ^ not of the heart. South Carolina has made much progress in moral, educational and material lines in the past few years and people are fully alive to the great possibilities of even greater progress in the years to come and we see the signs of prosperity on every hand. W T e should be paying more attention, however, to tne con servation of our many natural re st) urces-T-our land, forests and water courses. Much thought is now be ing given to this subject in all the States of the union, and we should not lag behind. There is now being utilized in this State one hundred sad seventy- five thousand horse-power of water- powef to generate electricity and for other purposes. There is still about one hundred and seventy-five thous and horse-power of water-power un developed. My belief is that before many years this power, now going to waste, will be harnessed and used to help supply the needs of our grow ing industries. Our farmers are producing a rea sonable Income and profit, and as the farmer is the only producer of those things which go to sustain life, every inducement should be given to the boy to ‘stay on the farm.” In the manufacture of cotton, we are second, in number of spindles, to but one State in the union. Had 1 time, I could give the out-put of the mills, the value of the product and the number of employees. The educational institutions of the State are sending out each year young men and women well equipp ed for the battle of life ana there is worjg for all of them to do. The country is calling for educated young men and women. I desire, at this time, to refer to two matters, which I regard as very important to the future progress ot the State and which are not men tioned in my annual message: The time has come in my judg ment when we should give some as tention to the question of the drain age of our swamps and wet land^ There are in this State over thre< million acres of these lands that ca’ be reclaimed at a reasonable cosi The question naturally arises, wha can we do? I suggest that you ap point a drainage commission whos duties it shall be to get up all tiK data as to where these lands ar located: the probable cost of reclaim ing and the best plan of paying |oi the drainage. Let this commissioi report to the general assembly an then intelligent action can be taken Another important matter tha* should engage our attention is th one of "good roads.” Every good citizen of the State is interested in this vital question. Conventions and conferences are being held in many of the States to discuss it. The governors of most of the States are calling the attention of their leg islatures to it. Some of the counties in this State have gone to work and are making good roads. That they are needed in all of the counties every one will admit. Th^ work that is done should be of permanent nature, and it seems to me that, in order that the necessary Information may be obtained as to tbe beet meth od making good roads and the pos- sible coat of such method, the de partment of agriculture should be charged with the duty of getting — this data and reporting the same to you. In North Carolina, the duties of road commissioner are placed upon the SUto geologists, in other States, road commissioners aro appointed for this work. y" I come to congratulate you, my fellow citizens, upon what has been done along all thesp- lines, and to aslrttet each of ynu will do hts fall ADJUTANT SUES ORD!

Mrs. Gaetano was found tonight by the authorities in an Italian shack on the outskiiT* of the city. She was/ in a serious condition, as a re sult of nervous shock, exposure and ill treatment, to which she had been subjected. She tqld the authorities she bad been taken to tbe shack immediately after the shooting and held there, two of the men remaining until shortly before noon.

It is stated that they will try to invoke a rule that wfiT put an en tire quietus on the “pitchfork sena tor,” or compel him to stick strictly to parliamentary language in deal ing with the president. They can't do It,” was Senator Tillman's declaration when asked concerning the movement. ‘‘I am going to criticize Theodore Roose velt officially.

Seeks Brother Masons and Rills Himself at Their Door. New York, Jan. 20.—After ar ranging with an undertaker to have his body cremated, paying for an urn in which to place his ashes, Thom as Hutchings, said to be a Harlen real estate dealer, walked into the West Twentieth street police station yesterday and asked to talk with some one who was a Mason, that he might tell him his troubles. He was referred to the statlonhouse at Sixth avenue and West Twenty-third street, where he was told he would find a number of Masons. Hutchings started, but paused just outside the door, drew a revolver and shot himself through the head, dying instantly. Hutchings had been in a twrticuiarly jovial mood, while talk ing with the undertaker, and neither the -latter nor the policemen at the Twentieth street station had any suspicion as to his*sanity or inten tions. WIFE WAS TOO MEEK. Brutal (’rime by Pennsylvania Farm er for Queer Cause. Scranton, Pa., Jan. 19.—Griffith VanEleet, a farmer with his wife, near Suquehana, shot and killed his wife for the simple reason that she was entirely too docile to live with.' 1 When he smote her on one cheek, she turned the other, and it anger ed him to such an extent that he chased her on the main road for al most half a mile and then put a bul let through her. Later, when the posse that was quickly organized, went after VanEleet, he faced the angry citizens and turned the gun upon himself, putting a bullet tbroogtt his heart. ““ •—— CYilef Justice Jones. , - ~ Columbia, Jan. 21.—Associate Justice Ira B.

Gary IS, GREAT EARTHQUAKE That Destroyed Several Italian Cities and Killed Nearly Three Hundred Thousand People—They Say Naples Is a Veritable Hospital and Grave—A Graphic Picture, New York, Jan. 18.—The first Americans to tell of having been in the Italian earthquake and wit nessed its scene of death and de struction, amid which they said they were practically Imprisoned for two days, reached New York recentjy. They tell heartrending stories of the sick and dying refugees, who had been brought to Naples. ‘‘The entire city,” one of them said, “was both a hospital and a grave. "Persons In all walks of life,” said Dr. Marsh, "took part in relief work. The pushecarts of street ped dlers and the automobiles of the rich were alike used to transport the dead and wounded. When a relief ship from Mesalna whistled In the bay hundreds of people crowded down to the quays to help out. Mentally as well as physically the refugees showed the awful effect of the calamity. Many had gone in sane and had to be locked up. ‘‘We left Naples for Reggio, op posite Messina, Sicily, on the evening of December 2 7,” says Mr. Alvin Hurford. "There was no sleeper on the train, so Mr. Moeller and myself bunked on the seats of our com partment. About 5:15 Mr. Moeller said he heard a heavy detonation like that of nearby thunder. I must have been asleep at the time, for I do not remember hearing such a sound. "We had no idea that there had been an earthquake, and that w'ere even then invading the de vastated region until we began to see in the gray sunrise shattered buildings. Even then we were not sure what had happened. We were the only English speaking passen gers on the train. I thought at first the ruined buildings were the rel ics of the former Calabrian earth quake. ’‘Meanwhile, bur fears were arous ed more and more by the sight of soldiers, who seemed to pour down upon us at every station until the train was jammed almost solid with them. At one station a large quan tity of provisions was loaded on the train. The rain then began to pelt down, a rain that seemed a veritable waterfall, the torrential kind that so often follows an earthquake. "A little further on we were hor rified to see people crouching near train, clad only in rags, and many of them bleeding, as if just extricat ed from a railroad wreck. Some were almost naked. We guessed that there had been an earthquake, but still we were not positive. When we tried to learn by means of ges tures what had happened, the in habitants would flee in terror. At last I heard the English lan guage, and, though spoken broken ly by an Italian Red Cross Officer, who had for a time lived in America and returned to his native land to serve in tbe army, so that he might make his home in Italy in his old age without being arrested as a de serter, his words were like music. He told us what had happened, and said that Palmi, just over the hill, was almost entirely destroyed. Be yond the tracks had been torn apart by the shock so that It was impos sible to proceed further. “ “ Around us the scenes of suffer ing were Indescribable. We saw men and women with broken arms and ribs, moaning and groaning or writhing in silent agony up and iown the roadways. I saw several old women, naked to the waist, with a bunch of rags tied with strings that did not reach by six inches to their knee caps. Children from four to fifteen, bleeding and hurt and '’rying, kept coming continually to ward us from over thd hills. "eW walked over the hill and saw the ruins of Palmi below. Five hours before 14,000 people had peacefully slept where now was heaped one vast mausoleum In which the head were buried beneath heaps of broken rock, mortar, twisted iron columns, skeleton walls just ready to topple and a forest of splintered timbers. It made me . think of Pliny’s description of tbe destruction of Pompeii. "Now began the task of loading the wounded on ships. The dead were left In tbe ruins. "Those that died on the road were laid in trenches by the roadsie. Many frightful scenes were being enacted on every side. On reaching Naples we found that Palermo was packed with refugees and that ships were bringing them in by the thous ands to the hospitals at Naples. Moet of them, as they were carried past us, moaned in agony. “Others died while being carried from the ship. Moat of those who had died on the voyage were left on the ship. The scents here In Naples were worse than In the earth- quake-stricken. district. The streets were constantly Ailed with wagons carrying the deed, dying and wound- Washington, Jan. 20.—When Sen ator Tillman heard today that Pres ident-elect Taft had made a speech In Augusta, In which he referred to public men who were lacking In sympathy for the negroes in their efforts to secrue an educ.itlon, he became thoroughly aroused, and did not hesitate to express his opinion, saying "This is directly traceable to the misstatements and malicious editorials emanating from the two leading newspapers In South Caroli na, In which my attitude was not correctly stated. "In the first place, I am not op posed to negro education at all, pro vided It Is of the right kind, know ing that education increases the in telligence and usefulness of the cit izen. What I said and meant, and by which I stick, is this: That the Republican policy of the last forty years has been to compel the South to recognize the political equality of the negro. That In Its essence would mean the domination of the negro in South Carolina and Missis kIppIkAM many parts of other South ern States. "We have disfranchised every ne gro we could under the fifteenth amendment and the only instru mentality available was to require an educational qualification. There is now an agitation in South Caroli na for compulsory education. Thai would mean a , heavy burden to provide more schools, which the white taxpayers would have to bear, and there could be no discrimination against the negro on account ot race or color. Hence we would pre sent the spectacle of educating the negro at a very heavy expense to hurry forward the contest for su premacy between the two races as soon as we should have given them the necessary qualifications to vote, and be undoing what we found ab solutely necessary to preserve our civilization. "We never intend to be governed by negroes, whether educated or un educated. The Republican party is now seeking to debauch the South through Mr. Taft, who offers us two offices in every thousand of our pop ulation, and a pretended advance ment of our material Interests to join that party. If the Republicans will throw down and abandon once for all their efforts to compel the South to recognize tbe equality of the Caucasion and the African bj repealing the fifteenth amendment, we can then have the control of our State affairs and can then train them .to make better citizens and aid in the ‘uplift’ which Mr. Taft is so anxious to se brought about. But we never expect to ‘lift’ them high enough ourselves, or allow anybody else to lift them high enough to put theirs heels on our necks, or govern us again, and the conflict of the races which seems to me inevitable, will only be hastened by such talk as Mr. Taft induge in." FELL AND BROKE HIS NECK. Dalington Negro Meets Death in Peculiar Manner. Darlington, Jan. 20.—Coroner R Gi Parnqll went to Lumber Tues day, and with ^ jury held an inquest over the remains of Coleman Tay lor, a negro about 21 years of age, who died a violent death by being accidentally struck on the head, just above the right eye, by a chip that was hurled through the air by a piece of machinery, knocking Taylor down, and in falling or as a result of his fall his neck-was broken. The accident occurred at the Williams & McKeithan Mills. Washington, Jan. 20.—-Senator Frazier, of Tennessee today spoke on the Brownsville affair, and oppos ed the passage of any one of the pending hills for the re-enlistment of the negro soldiers of the 25th reg iment, who were discharged without, honor by the President. "Whenever,” declared Mr. Frazier, ‘any question arises affecting the negro there are certain people, in cluding the negro himsejf, who seem to think that he should be dealt with in an exceptional and unusual way; that he is to be treated as the ward of the nation, and must be the constant object of Its care and so licitude. "If those people in every section of the country who are especially solicitous of the negro’s welfare would,,by act and word, leach the negro that he is to be shown no exceptional consideration, but must stand or fall on his conduct and merit alone, they would render him incalcuable benefit, and the country a lasting service.” Analyzing the testomony taken In varioua investigations, Mr. Frazier said there was no question as to the guilt of any soldiers of the 25th regiment. He justified the Presi dent In his discharge of the entire body of troops, because of the im possibility of fixing the guilt upon particular soldiers. Speaking of the treatment of the negro by the people of the South, Mr. Frazier said: “I would not be entirely frank If 1 did not say that upon Certain phas es on the race question, I, In com mon with the rest of the South, have stood, and I believe will ever stand, firm and unalterably. First, never against will the negro race be allow ed to politically dominate and con trol a sovereign State of this Union. To do so would be to enthrone ig norance and give it dominion over intelligence, and to bring back the rapid and utter reckless debauchery of the Reconstruction era. Second, the social barrier, which separates the races will never be allowed to be lowered. To do so would destroy the purity and integrity of the white race and shock the sensibilities and outrage the moral sense of the Cau casion race the world over. "For forty years, in patience and kindness the people of the South have wrestled with this problem,’ he said in conclusion. “It is still un solved. What the end will be, only God in His infinite wisdom can see Shall It be that the black race will be deported? If feasible, it would remove the last remaining barrier to complete the unity of the Amer ican people. Shall It be a race war, bloody, fierce, exterminating;—a war for the survival of the fittest-God forbid. Shall it be amalgamation, and the unspeakable horror of a cor rupted and inferior race? To al low it would he to destroy that civ ilization which is at once our strength and pride. Shall it be that the two races will dwell together, and yet apart, in peace and harmc ny. To do so, without one race dominating and ruling the other would be to belie the universal ver dict of racial history. I do not know. But one thing I do know if that the solution of this problem rests primarily in the hands of th. Southern white man and the South ern black men, and calls for th. wisest counsel and broadest conser vatlsm of both. .1 know that It car never be solved by men far remove : from its fatal touch, and whos* minds are not filled with an appall ing sense of the deep racial dif Acuities with which it is hedged about." CITIZEN JOSHUA ASHLEY Is Accused of Peonage by His Farm Hands. Columbia, Jan. 22.—The Federal grand jury here has indicted "Citizen Joshua" W. Ashley, a wealthy Anderson county farmer and meipber of the legislature now in session, of peonage in holding four negro farm hands in involuntary servitude on his farm in Anderson county. The indictment, carrying twenty counts, alleges various phases of peonage, charging that Ashley claimed he held the negroes to work out indebted ness due him and due John McGaha, deceased, and Louise McGaha, his kinsmen. The four negroes, claimed to be held as peons, are: Will Da vis, John Davis, George Johnson and Sam Poole. ed.

It is known that nlnety-dve workmen were employed in the crib and the connecting tunnel at the time of the explosion, which started the fire and blew or drove men late the water. The work of the destroying, ele* ments was begun eo unexpectedly and reaped its harvest of dead and injured with such swiftness that the contracting Arm of George W.

The disaster apparently had Its origin in a powder houae of small dimensions, situated about 100 yards from the crib structure proper, bat at the same time being a part of the general structure. r , The dull detonation, muffled'as it was by the crunching of Aostlng ice against the crib and the atmosphere laden with heavy fog, simply arouaed the attention of the workmen, ac cording to servlvors. and it was not until the heat ot the flames and the stifling smoak penetrated the so- called "living room” of the crib and the tunnel beneath the ]rateri Of the _ lake that the full Import of the ills aster dawned upon the workmen cut off from quick succor. One of tbe workmen with a cool er head than his fellows, made his . way through the smoak to a little inclosure In which was a telephone and gave the hurried message to the shore station: “The crib is on fire.
