Luck ily there were no fatalities so far as can be learned. Honea Path is com pletely cut off from wire communi cations. Passengers arriving on the Inter- urban from Greenwood at 2:30 o’clock, who watched the tornado as it advanced on Honea Path from a point two miles south of the town, say that the tornado, In its usual fun nel shape, came from the direction Just south of the city of Anderson, and that It touched the ground for the first time In the buelness district of Honea Path, smashing plate glass fronts In the stores and doing other damage. One side of the brick store room occupied by the Latimer Clothing Company was blown out. The stet ple and roof of the Haptlst Church was partially demolished, The seed nnd outhouses of the oil mill were turn ed over, as were the smoke stack- of the mills. Many small houses in the town were knocked down. Pricks and sticks were flying In the air an I one man, a lineman of the Interurbau, was hit In the bead, causing consid erable pain One or two automobile* and other vehicle* were overturned, throwing the occupants out and caus ing some Injuries Tsrra cotta roofing of the Interur- ban passenger station was badly dam aged, whlI* tbs roof on on* aids of th# frame warehouse of this road was practically dssUoTsd. This damags MSBOd to feav* boon wrought as an aftarthoaght by the tornado, as after it had paseed over this building, a fast of wind forming a suction of great strength reached beck and liter ally socked s hole at least twenty f«et square In the roof It looked as If a projectile bad been fired through Use roam from the Ineide Several freaks are reported A bora* was blown against a bot car on the ialerurben yards end wee Instant ly killed A boi car left on a side track was picked up by the wind ami hurled over the derail on the main line Then It was forced beck st s terrific rate of speed on to another elds track. Jumping another derail, a thing which Is considered practical ly Impassible Ao far as rsn be learned with all wires down, the tornado did no dam- ags before reaching Honea Path The amount of damage wrought beyond Honea Path and on this side of the Saluda River Is not known. Rain fell In torrents during the visit of and after the tornado had passed over Honea Path. Witnesses on the tnterurban car. which was stopped when the tornado took off the electric power, say that they could tee the tornado approach ing for several miles, that it extend ed from the ground In Honea Path way up Into the heavens, until en tirely out of sight The tornado, as It came In contact with other clouds, would hurst them Into pieces, hurling pieces of the clouds for several hundred yards The tornado was moat spectacular and yet very uncanny. THAT CAMPAIGN FUND FIND HUSBAND'S BODY. Wan Taught in Sand Slide and Smothered to Death. Frank Martin, a miner, was killed by a landslide while working on his property along the Feather river, near Oroville, Cal. He was found en tombed in the dirt by his wife, who went to hunt for him when he did not return to his home at the usual time. Martin owned some mining claims which he had been working himself. The other night he failed to put in an appearance at the usual hour, and his wife, becoming anxious, went out to search for him. She saw the cave- in and becoming alarmed hastened to the claim. She made her ghastly- discovery and found her husband crushed and dead, buried In the earth and rock that had fallen on him. She return ed to her cabin for help and with the aid of her children dug the body from ita untimely grave. Killed in a Wreck. Ten Italian laborers were killed and three injured at Doe Gully, W.

Kingsley, President of the New York Life Insurance Company. Darwin P. Kingsley, president of the New York Life Insurance Com pany, appeared Monday before the Senate finance sub-committee work ing on the income tax section of the Underwood tariff bill to discuss pro visions relating to Insurance com panies. Mr. Klngsley had a spirited ex change with Senator Williams over campaign contributions disclosed In the Hughes investigation several years ago. “When your company paid $250,- 000 to a campaign fumL” asked Sen ator Williams, “none of that money ever was participated in by the policy holders, was it?’’ “No, It was not,” said Mr. Kings ley. "Then that proved that your com pany’s assertion that policy holders participated in all the earnings of the company was false, didn’t It?’’ “it proved,” Mr. Kingsley return ed, “that the judgment.of the com pany's officers who paid this cam paign contribution thinking it was necessary to protect the assets of the company, was bad.” “It proved mere than that," as serted Senator Williams. “It was absolute dishonesty. I was a policy holder and a Democrat, and you took part of my money and gave it away to protec t me against my own party Hut has all that sort of thimt been done away with In the insurauce .iiis- iru'cs'’ ’ “Absolutely,” replied President Klnitsley He explained la^s which prohibit it President Kingsley submitted a de tailed statement of his company'* buslnea* and resources to show tha; It conducted buaineaa actually on a mutual basts The total assets of the company last year were |719,rtftn,- 000. and he declared not a dollar was kept bark from the fund In which policy holders participated TARIFF IN StNATE HETB8DS bF HE lENILICIAN!

The bureau of railway economics has Issued a bulletin relating to the handling of cotton and !u it the state ment correctly made that cotton has been the moat slovenly handled of all of the agricultural product* of the United States The farmers often leave It espoaed to be damaged by rain and Infiltrated by mud Kv«*u when offered for shipment it la some times In this condition All too fre quently it )■ loo*cl> baled and Inade quatrly marked It has been aald that upon receipt at foreign jK>rt» hales of cotton look more like rag baga For many year* the ra£)wa)a have •ought to have the cotton ahlppera ex erclae greater care, but the railways In thla country have no auch auto cratic power as thoae of Germany, where no ahtpment la accepted unles* It la packed and marked In accord ance with rigid specifications Gov ernment expert* have estimated tha< of the cotton crop of the United Staten there Is between the gin and the spinner a wantage and damage amounting to $," u.ouo.ooo per an num The Greenville Piedmont says the Japanese several years ago ruled that they would not accept cotton that was not clean, securely packed and plain ly marked They get what they want. The possibility of losing the custom of a nation make* a differ ence The trans-Atlantic lines who In recent years have been mulcted in heavy damages because of the poor condition in which cotton has been delivered to foreign countries have now taken action tlikt will re-enforce the efforts of the railways. From September 1, 1912, to March 31, 1913, on the average one bale of cot ton out of every six offered at the South Atlantic and Gulf ports was condemned; one bale out of every ten was Improperly marked. Beginning July 1, 1913, their requirements will be rigid; higher charges will be £X_- acted for cotton loosely baled. The information is given in the bulletin referred to above that the railways in the cotton growing re gions are therefore redoubling their efforts with cotton compressors, cot ton ginners, farmers and shippers. When those concerned in cotton growing and shipping find that shift lessness reacts upon their pocket- books it is probable that a better order of things will come about. Not only the money but the good will of the foreign consumer is worth while, especially in these times when he is endeavoring to stimulate the growth of cotton in other countries than the United States.

The Tariff Deinfc'Revised In the In- tcrent of the People Much to the Chagrin of the Republican Hena- ators, Who Are the Active Agents of the Trusts. In one of his weekly Washington letters Savoyard says: The Hon. Penrose, a senator in congress from the State of Pennsyl vania and a disciple of the political school of the late Boss Quay, has worked himself into a state of mind over the tariff question. i.Mr. Pen rose is the leader of his party in the United States senate, head of the Re publican contingent of the finance committee, thus succeeding William Pitt Fessenden, John Sherman, Jus tin S. Morrill and Nelson W. Aldrich in that station. Pennsylvania, the plum orchard, is a stall-fed State, living off provender supplied by non protected communities, and as a men dicant its hat is about as full as that of Nevl' 'Kngland. It is the home of the steel trust, of the coal trust, of the tin trust, of the carpet trust, and nunieruuH other insatiate tariff beg gars. Impregnably intrenched in her rno- nopolv of the American market, Pennsylvania enjoys free trade in labor, and here are some of the na tionalitieH of the "American labor" she Imported and put to work at scant wages in the minee. fqjnacea atid shop* of the steel trust Arab ian, Austrian.

It Is a hardship on the entire community and a piece of stupidity on the part of the concern that prac tices it. That is one of the offices of pro tection to make an old and wornout and ill equipped manufacturing plant profitable. It is the very meaning of the word “protection". It implies inferiority. It was developed before the Stanley committee that many of the plants of the steel trusts are out of date, fit only for old, junk, incap able of competing with the latest and most improved machinery, but the steel trustrUaring a monopoly of the American market by virtue of the tariff, continues to operate those anti quated plants and American consum ers of its wares pay the outrageously enhanced cost of production. The Democratic tariff will force every manufacturer to go out of bus iness or build the best mill and equip it with the most efficient machinery than can be had. That is for the common weal. It will benefit the manufacturer even more than the purchaser of his wares. It is good husbandry. It avoids watse. It is the soul of economy. Monopoly is not energetic. It requires competition to get the best results of human en deavor. Boss Penrose—that is, he was a boss—Is distressed because'-ef the "Spanish Inquisition’’ that he imag ines the Democratic party has fetch ed into congress. Dope, dope, dope, That is the way they made the Din- gley law’ and it is the way they made the Payne-Aldrich tariff. Both those measures were writ by the manufac turers. So much fat was fried out of them to buy ths elections and they were permitted to write so much craft la the tariff bills. It was a bar- HOUSE BILL WILL PASS HKXATE MAY AMKND IT IN SEV ERAL WTIKDITJCS. a- ■ But the House Will Insist on Its Rill in Conference and Will Win Got in the End. ► Democratic leaders in the senate now fully expect that the Underwood bill will be amended in important particulars in the Senate if not soon- or in the finance committee, or the Democratic caucus. The belief is growing that the bill when it leaves the Senate will carry a duty on su gar of between 70 and 80 cents per hundred pounds, and that wool will be taxed 20 per cent, instead of be ing on the free list as at present. It is further expected that when the tariff bill comes back from the committee free wool and ultimate free sugar will have been restored as in the bill at present. It will then be up to the Senate to engage _in_ a tug of war with the House over the acceptance of the conference report. The Republican leaders in congress have information which leads some of them at least to believe that the shrewder of the Democratic leaders look forward to such a result as the best solution of the troublesome problem presmted to them by the su gar and wool schedules in the Sen ate. They realize that at bast two Democratic senators will \ote for an amendment to put a duty on wool when the Republicans offer it in the Senate, and that the too from Louis iana will vote for a duty on -oigar I nd mat ion« are that t lie .■ four Democratic senators, end probab!'. more. ba\e reached imderstan I :ng. er will re;u h <; e shortly. b> which they will ; no) ms, a:.l he able by joining with •!,.

Here is the way Schedule K was made Tlie wool trust sent its secre tary here, a Mr North He wrote Schedule K Aldrich himself did not know what it was Not a single sen ator or representative of either party knew what it was. Only the wool trust and Mr. North knew an'.thing about it. It became the law, and the wool trust was so delighted with the work of its henchman that R voted Mr. North $5,000 in excess of his sal ary. And that was not all—the wool trust forced a Rej?ublican prcaideut to make Mr?’ North director of the census. And do you know, it is worth a heap to the tariff grafters to have the census supervised by qne of their henchmen? Fact. Well, this Democratic tariff is not made that way, and that’s what’s the matter with Penrose. Why fiddle, senator? Rome is qot afire. NINETY MILES OF INSECTS. A Mighty Column of Grasshoppers Seen in New Mexico. Travelling northeastward, a col umn of grasshoppers five miles wide and eighteen miles long is reported in Northeastern New Mexico i.Monday. Reports that the millions of grass hoppers seem to spread as they trav el, and also the appearance of smaller bodies of grasshoppers in sections of West Texas, have caused fear of a general grasshopper pest in the Southwest, especially in Texas, West ern Oklahoma and New Mexico. Gov ernment, State and railroad experts have combined forces in New Mexico to flfht the grasshoppers by using poison. President Wilson Says the Public Should Know of the Schemes of M* These lobbyists and That the Gov ernment Should be Relieved of the Intolerable Burden of Lobbyists. - President WilsdVk stirred Congres sional circles Monday with an em phatic statement denouncing the “in dustrious” and “insidious” lobby in Washington attempting to create public sentiment dgainst certain fea tures of the Underwood tariff bill. This was accepted at the Capitol as referring to the unusual efforts be ing made against free raw wool and free sugar. While the President was declaring it his opinion that the public should be relieved “from the intolerable burden^’, Senators and Representa tives were viewing on every hand the evidences of the lobbyists which be- s*'t them: and significance was at tached to a stat> ni'nt made by Sena tor Simmon-, chairman of the tin nice commit t» e. which now has the taritf hill tn haul, that.

The New York World by the mean# of authentic figures shows how foolish is the talk of the Jingoes of the Unit ed States of the dangers of a war with Japan and how utterly senselesa ia the war jabber of the brown jingoes across the Pacific. By figures and a. few facts it demonstrates that Japan is in no shape to engage in war with this country and inferentially that it will not be in shape for a half cen tury, even though it should continue •ita policy of increasing its navy at a greater rate than this country. The figures show several things, among which are the following facts: The Japanese navy is considerably weaker than that of the United. States. Japanese credit is in a ter rible state; it might almost be said that Japan is groaning under a war debt that it finds impossible to pay and the interest on which necessitates grinding taxes upon the citizens of that country. “Irresponsible jingoes who predict a warlike onset by Japan, see only two facts," says The World. One is that the Japanese standing army is stronger than ours. The other is that the Japanese navy is stronger than any sea force we now have in the I’acifie. But there are other facts which would convict of political lunacy any Japanese states man who should counsel war. is the wav the nav es of the l lere two countries stand: Stati s has s dreadnaua! t: Ua'i. d St at i s has .1 and J: an 1.:.
