The twins are seven months old and have developed splen didly since their blth. Experts say It will be Impossible ever to separ ate them. The Gibbs twins are dif ferent in a great many ways.

The Senator Fears That Good Gov ernment la Doomed Unless Legis lation is Enacted xo Put the Pri mary Substantially Under the , I Same Regulations as the General Election. ”We must either reform the pr»- mary system by law or see It die, ‘ warns Senator Benjamin Ryan Till man, in an open letter to the South Carolina General Assembly, soon to meet, in which It Is urged that legis lation be enacted to safeguard the primary system of election In this State. “If we do not safeguard the primary system,” writes Senator Till man. "and make It above suspicion, good government in the State Is doomed.” The senior Senator again warns the people aglanst the negro being used In politics under white leadership; If the black population be thus mobilized, he thinks, offices of trust and power will become mere “pawns in the game of politics, to be? bought by the highest bidders.’’ Fcni lowing Is the statement: “I dislike to have the appearance even of assuming the right to.dic tate to the General Assombly, ano such Is not my purpose now. But for reasons unnecessary to enumerate » feel that I have a duty to perform In the present instance. "The angry passions aroused last summer In the State campaign for Governor have In a measure subsid ed, and the people have cooled on To my mind there was great danger to white supremacy and Democratic unity which is now happily passed Cut unless etery possible safeguard Is thrown around the primary system, by law, rules and regulations made so plain and of such a Just and reas onable nature as to compel honesty and fair play In the primary — the sys tem Is doomed and the people of the State will settle their political differ ences at the polls In November Just as they do now In all border and North ern States Burned to the Water la August, Wrecked on the Rocka In March, Her Record Full of Disaster. Leaving marine records strewn with tales of death and disaster, con nected with her career, the Rose- crans, once a United States Army transport, was lost on Peacock Spit, Just beyond the bar at Astoria, Ore gon, Tuesday, In a furious gale that drove her on the rocka. Thirty-three of her crew of thir ty-six perished when the ship went under, It Is believed. Three others clung to a topmast and their death seemed certain. The Rosecrans cleared from South ern California points with a crude oil cargo for Portland, Ore. She en countered a sixty-mile gale as she stood In toward the bar at the mouth of the Columbia River. It Is thought her officers lost their bearings anff the tanker was hurled on the rocks to pound herself to pieces. Attempts at rescue were futile, er’s hull had sunk from sight. Three men of her crew of thirty-six clung to the topmast, which projected above the water. All others, It is belieed, have perished. It seemed Im possible that the three survivors could be saved. The Rosecrans. owned by the As sociated Oil company, has been an Ill-fated vessel. While loading oil nt Oavlota on August 27, 1912, she caught fire and was burned to the water’s edge. In March of the same year she was driven on the rocks at Oavlota and two of her crew were lost. Built at Glasgow in 1 883, the Rosecrans was 335 feet long and reg istered 2,976 tons gross. She form erly was an army transport. At the offleea of the Associated Oil com pany It was said the vessel carried a crew of thirty-six men and w&a val ued at about $200,000.
