To EstabUth ■MalagaA tna I a nwiii In UMTia AFTER GIVEN START Other Persons, All of Whom Were P' ai,ntln * members of the minority by stating that the cotton seed oil industry of the South had appealed to him for tariff protection, Senator Aldrich suggested to Mr. Bacon that if the Senatcy from Georgia and oth er Southern States should get to gether in favor of placing that pro duct on the free list, as was the caje when the bill passed the House of Representatives, he thought an agreement to that effect might be reached. This suggestion had been called forth by a statement by Mr. Bacon, who said if the 25 per cent ad valorem levied on Importations of cotton seed oil did not produce an income he thought it should go on the free list. Senator Simmons, of North Caro lina, protested against such action, declaring that he was free to say that he was not in favor of placing cotton seed oil on the free list. Stating that the importation of cotton seed oil in 1908 was 202 gallons, worth $81, and yieldng a revenue of $8.28, Mr. Aldrich said the tax on that article was “for pro tection, pure and simple.” Any pretence,” declared Mr. Till man, rising in his place and speak ing in vigorous laugauge, “that there protection on cotton seed oil through such a duty is a humbug. Cotton seed oil producers do not want any protection at all." Mr. Aldrich said he had been ap pealed to by such producers from the South, and Mr. Tillman retorted hat he "did not represent such peo ple.” Mr. Money joined in a declaration that the South did not want protec tion on cotton seed oil. on the Hand Our. A special dispatch from Mullins to The State says Thursday night about 10 o'clock news reached the city of the awful wreck of the log ging crew employed by the Mullins Lumber Company, Messrs. H. O. and 8. H. Schoolfleld, proprietors. The physicians of the town were hastily summoned and telegrams were sent to Marlon for others. The news •oon spread and many citizens hast- ened to the scene to render such aid as they cbuld. The accident happened about two miles northeast of Mullins and was caused by a misunderstanding of or- *' > ders. The mill keeps a crew of about six mtn in the woods and these Visually are the last of the working force to leave for the night, wheif they return on the hand car. The engine usually makes three loads of logs from the woods each day, but, owing to an unavoidable delay, the third trip was after dark. The woods crew under Foreman A C. Smith waited for the engine and finally decided that as it was so late the engineer had abandoned his last trip and set out for town. On the hand car were six men, Mr. James Carmichael and Mr. A. C. Smith and Davied Lewis, Walter James, Delaware Murray and Jirn Spain, colored. Mr. Carmichael was sitting on the front of the car. The road being very bad at that section and the hour late the hands who were at the crank were working hard and the car was rkpidly moving along. The engine, in charge of Engineed Rhoades, was backing down for the woods with 18 empty flats when It likewise was endeavoring to make up lost time. There was no light on the cars as the engine was backing. It was dark and the noise of the hand car made it impossible for the men to notice the danger until it was upon them. Of the six men only one, Jim Spain, escaped unhurt, and his es cape was nothing short of a miracle. Spain said that he jumped just as the cars came together, the flat car striking his foot. As quickly as pos sible he ran over to where his com rades lay burled under the wreck age The first one he reached was James Carmichael. He picked him up In his arms and saw that he was dead. He was rushed and mangled fear fully. Mr. Carmichael’s neck, arms and legs were broken and was other wise disfigured. He then went to Mr. Smith, who had a broken leg and was Internally Injured. Dave Lewis, colored, was crushed Inter nally and had an arm broken. Lew is died soon after the accident Walter James, colored, had a broken leg and other Injuries. Delaware Murray, also colored, received some painful, if not fatal, Injuries in the side and arm. Every thing possible was done for the sur vivors. The Messrs. Schoolfleld per- sonaly attended to their needs. Much sympathy is expressed for these gen tlemen as they seem to regret the accident so much. Their wives have also ministered to the wants of the sufferers all day and are much af fected. To just what extent Mr. Smith is Injured is not known. Physicians have been with him constantly since the accident and have done all in their power to relieve his sufferings . Mr. Carmichael was buried this afternoon at 3 o’clock at Miller s cemetery. Just two weeks ago yesterday Mr Carmichael was married to Miss Sa die Oliver, of Marion, and to the young bride the tenderest sympathies of the' community go out. She has not lacked for attention and con dolence, for hundreds of friends have mingled their tears with hers over the sad fate which befell the noble young man to whom she had plighted her faith and love Just two weeks ago to the day. She returned to her former home in Marion, accompanied by her.-father..jri&ter and brother Mr. Carmichael was a very popular young man, which was manifested by the large concourse of friends who attended the funeral, which was per haps the largest assemblage ever gathered for a like occasion in this section. * Because of What it Construes to Be Hostile Legislation on the Part of the City Government—Will Mean Much for Tills Section of South Carolina.

Bask- erville, until recently a teacher in the Presbyterian school at Tabriza, was killed a few days ago outside Tabriza while leading a sortie of Nationalists from the city. The ob ject of the expedition was to open a way for the bringing in of provis ions. of which the city stands great ly In need. It was not successful. The situation at Tabriz is desper ate. The Christians of Tabriz are arming themselves and will put up a strong defence during the bloody disorders that are expected to break out any day. The English residents have sent a telegram to Foreign Sec retary Grey, at London, appealing for immediate help. The Russians have taken refuge at the Russian consulate.

The child said bor foster mpther had recently used a red-hot poker on her aij n mean* of punishment For some time past there have been rumors afloat that there was a possibility amounting to a strong probability that the general offices of the Southern Power Company would be lost to Charlotte, and the indica tions were that Columbia would se cure them. When it was first talked about the people of Charlotte de rided the idea that the institution would seek a new home for its head quarters. The newspapers had car toons making sport of Columbia. The Columbia State says a day or two ago a prominent business man of Columbia was in Charlotte, and in conversation with Mr. W. H. Twit- ty, cashier of the Charlotte National Bank, was told that it was an open secret that it had been definitely de termined to transfer the offices to Columbia. Since then it seems information has been given out from the man agement itself that the step had been decided upon, and that within the next eight or ten months conditions would so shape themselves as to ad mit of making the permanent remov al to Columbia. There are two principal reasons iven for the contemplated action of this great corporation. The first is tated to be that the new charter of the city of Charlotte empowers the board of public works to regulate public service corporations, with es pecial reference to rates to consum ers. This aciion, it is claimed, has the effect to interfere with the sale of bonds, aud the company felt that s rights and privileges have been so mpaired as to make it expedient for them to relieve themselves of their public utilities franchise. The second reason assigned is (hat the power at Lang’s shoals on the Catawba river about 28 miles from Columbia is the next property to be developed, and that therefore, Columbia is the logical place for the establishment of its offices, being so much nearer the point of opera tions. This company, which is rated at $11,000,000, has acquired all the riparian rights along the Wateree and Catawba to within 15 or 18 miles of Camden, and less than 30 miles cross-country from Columbia, and their plants are of enormous magnitude. On the line of water power de velopment indicated, the Wateree and Catawba, there are now six valu able properties that are owned by this company. On the Wateree canal . ust above Camden there is a fall of 4.37 6 square miles, giving 20,000 horsepower when developed. At Rocky ci’rck, Great fails and Fishing creek are other powers be longing to this corporation that have a total fall of 173 feet. Of these the development of Great falls has re- ently been completed and that of the others will follow as the de mand for power warrants. The amount of hjorsepower de veloped at Great falls is 32,000, with a probable total when developed of 67,000 horsepower. Rock creek and Fishing creek will afford 15,000 and 20,000 horsepower respectively. At Landsford. near Lancaster, an other power belonging to this com pany there is a fall of 40 feet, drain ing an area of 3,425 square miles and affording energy of 12,000 horse power, as yet undeveloped. At Rock Hill, on the Catawba, the company has a 10,000 horsepowe" plant in operation, supplying power to Rock Hill, Fort Mill, FineviUe Charlotte. At Niney-NIne Island, on the Broad river, is a plant having a 51,- foot fall, the full development of which Is now under way This pow er will form one of several powers b' 'onging to this company which will be electrically connected by a sys tem of transmission lines furnish ing power to all the large towns in the northern central part of this State and to a number of towns in North Carolina. ‘The comftifc of tho SetHhM'a Few er Company to Columbia will mean there will soon be located there also offices of the large electrical machin ery and manufacturing concerns, which win augment the business of the city to a considerable extent. ~ The office force of the company will be a valuable acquisition to the city and to them fair Columbia ex tends the glad hand of a cordial wel come. The acquisition will not only be in the fact that all of the force are high salaried people, but that Columbia society will have a wel come addition to its ranks. Jacob served seven years for Rachel, then keven years more. Then he got her and served still another seven years for good meas ure. Now comes a modern Jacob—a Maasachusetts Jacob—who has cheerfully served three times seven years without getting his Rachel. Every three years for 21 years, Arthur Burke, of MiUsberry, Mass., has journeyed to Montreal to ask the question: “Will you marry me now?” Every time the answer has been "No.” Sometimes there was a laugh accompanying the^word, sometimes a sigh, sometimes she hesitated as though reluctant to refuse the devo tion so liberally offered. But In the end the answer has always been “No." Now Burke is off on his eighth love pilgrimage. He is as light hearted and confident as he was the first time. •* “Somehow I think this is the time,” he told his intimate friends before he started. “I think this time she’ll say yes.” Burke was a young man just turned 30 when the stir.uge cou’-r ship began. Now he is a middle- aged man of 51. His nalr is turn ing gray, his step is less elastic. Who the Rachel is, Burke won’t tell. He will describe her in glow ing terms, but the words he uses areq’t the ones which would aid a Bertlllon bureau to find her. To him she is sweet and pretty as when a sober-eyed slip of a girl in her teens, she listened to the old love story. She, too, in the ’ipse of time, must have rounded out to mature womanhood, but you can t make gal lant, gray-haired Arthur Burke, who has loved her for years, believe this Burke carried his bri Ugroom's clothes in his grip. “There’s lots of opportunities you lose.by not be ing ready for ’em,” he argued. “If she savg the word, I won’t give her iny time to change her mind. We’ll hurry to the nearest church.” And Pensioners Will Soon Get Their Money—There Ane Nine Hundred and Fiftf on the List, the Pen sions Amounting to $2(7,702.50. Kfuirtaiihurg LmuU as Usual.
