k» 1- i CONFEKIAIC VETERANS IEIEH- BEI HR AND HONOR UNION VETERAN Confederate Veterans Present a Bust of Col. Richard Dale Owen, of the I'nlon Army, Who Commanded Camp Morton Where Confederate Prisoners Were Confined. For the first time the Stnrs and Bars of the Southern Confederacy decorated the State capitol of Indiana Tuesday when a bronze bust of Col. Richard Dale Owen, commandant at Camp Morton^ near Indianapolis, in 186I, given to the State by Confed erate soldiers, who were Col. Owens’ prisoners was unveiled. Though feel ings of war days have mellowed with time, it is prqbably the first time that Confederate soldiers have so honored a Union soldier. Oen. Bennett ©. Young, of Louis ville, commander-ln-chlef of the Uni ted Confederate Veterans, is to make the presentation speech, and Vice- President Thomas R. Marshall, form er Governor of Indiana, will accept the bust for the State. William L. Bryan, president of Indiana Univer sity, of which Col. Owen was a facul ty member after he had reelgned from the army, also is on the pro gram. Gov. Ralston presided. Many members of the G. A. R. have places near the speakers. The movement to present the bust to Indiana was started by 8. A. Cun ningham, of Nashville, publisher of ths Confederate Veteran, the official paper of the Confederate organisa tions. Mr. Cunningham was s prison er et Cesnp Morton. He seld Col Owen’s deeds of kindness snd sets of eoerteey, coupled with his efforts to eltevtete the sufferings of the prison ers. won their esteem end effeetion. Shortly nfter being ordered to the frost from Camp Morton. Col Owen wee eeptured et dfemford. Ky , but was reissued toy the Cos federate com who seld: "Col Owen, le tderetton ef your kladneas to our et Cemp Morion, you fruu to go et will." <100111 Cam Una Editor Named For Post at Havana. Capt. William E. Gonzales, editor of the .Columbia State, wee Friday nominated by President Wilson as nlnlster from the United Ststoe to he Republic of Cuba. This action by the President had been expected for several days, and will be grati fying news to the friends of Capt. Gonzales in South Carolina and else where. The appointment of Caipt. Gonzales o the post at Havana is peculiarly appropriate. His father, the late \mbrone Jose Gonzales, was a distin- 'ulshed Cuban patriot; his brother, be late N. G. Gonzales, saw service vlth Gen. Gomez’s army-during the var with Spain, and Ca -t. u ■imself rommnn 'ed a company in tb 'd South Carolina regiment, which vent to Cuba as part of the army of naciflcation. Capt. Gonzales has ben identified with the press of South Carolina for many years. His first newspaper work was done as a member of The Vews and Courier’s Columbia bureau staff, imras been with the Columbia bate since the founding of that pub- Ucatlon, becoming its editor-in-chief tpon the death of his brother sorm years ago. He has been a consistent supporter of President Wilson ever sinre the 'otter’s name was mentioned In con nection with the Chief '.Magistracy, and is considered one of the Presi dent’s warm personal friends. It Is not expected that the confir mation of Capt. Gonzales's nomtna tlon will meet with any opposition, and he will, no doubt, he ready In a short while to assume his diplomatic duties.

The Webb law provides that the machinery of the federal government is to be used for the enforement of state prohibition laws, and its enact ment had been earnestly demanded by the temperance people of the coun- years prior to the favorable action of the last congress. At that time Sen ator Tillman introduced a bill simi lar to the Webb bill, but it was de feated. The suit will be prepared and brought under the direction of Law rfince Maxwell, of Cinclnnattl, Ohio, one of the counsel for the National Liquor Dealers’ Association, and an attorney of wide reputation. It was he who furnished the argument on which President Taft relied for his veto of the Webb hill. If the case should be decided by the supreme court on its technical merits, it is believed by good lawyers In congress that the liquor ^dbalers may win, but if as seemarmore likely, It Is to be decided on other and broader grounds, it is believed that the temperance people will win. In cidentally it may be said that the men representing the liquor interests do not seem to be particularly hopefyi of the oltimate outcome. I Roan ding Up the Lobby.

Hranrhvlllfl, June 11 Although the United States government ha* turned down the proposition In refer ence to making the Edlsto River nav agable. there Is a host being built In Hrsnrhvtlle, for the purpose of plv Ins the river between Mrsnrhville. 8 C and ('harleeton, 8 C This boel 1« twins built by one of our enterprls ing clUsene, Mr W F Trumblv. who has for some time anticipated run nlng a boat on the Kdiato River Some time ago (be Kdislo River l.um her Company purchased a ■mall gaso line boet. end eecured Mr Trutubl) to run It from ('harleeton. to Kdlsto station on the Houthern railroad This little boat, like nearly all gaao- Itae boala wae built with a round hot tom. and drew three fret of water, and on the trip from Charleston to Ediato gave Mr Trumbly s good op portunlty to make a general lna;>«i (Ion of the river After Nelng so fav orably Impressed with the conditions as well as the width and depth of the river. Mr Trumbly at once decided to build a boat and put on the river for the purpose of hauling freight be tween Hranchvllle and Charleston 8 C This Is of great Interest to the town of Rranchvllle. and points be tween here and Charleston The writer is well acquainted with the river and Is certain that this boat ran be operated easily between the above mentioned points, snd will pay the owner well, besides will give nranchvllle a competitive freight rate which has not been before en Joyed, which means a great deal to us, of whlih most of our buslneas men have scarcely given a thought Following Is the size aud description of the boat Sixty four feet and eleven Inches from stern to ’tow. thirteen feet aru alx inches wide, and will draw from eighteen lnrh»*s to two feet of water loaded up to sixty-five tons, but of course would carry more In deeper water It Is built flat on the bottom with a reasonable flare on the side, turned up slightly and sharp in the front and square in the rear or stern and will have a six and one-half by eight feet propeller or water wheel which will be at the stern and will revolve with not more than twelve inches of the wheel paddles in the water driven by an eighteen horse power engine and boiler, the latter having already been placed in the boat. This Jx>at can be seen back of the 'Myers building. It seems that its construction was not known by any except a very few. It is nearly completed and to-day is the first time that the writer heard of it and im mediately went down to see and in spect the boat. This is about the size boat that the government engi neers figured would run to Orange burg, if the river and made navaga- ble. We wish Mr. Trumbly great success in his new enterprise. This boat is built as large as is allowed to come wdthin class No. 3 and will have a crew of three men.

Week of Heavy Rain. Roawell, N. M , Is menaced by a huge volume of water pouring down the Rio Hondo river from the White Mountain*. Cloudburst* after a week of comtlaaoas rain caused the Forecaster Talk* of Wrath- (■ er Condi tioa* and Prospect*. W. P. Uouseal, of Columbia, who Is known everywhere in South Caro lina as the "Dutch weather prophet," has not retired from the special serle* of forecast* of temperature and precipitation in which he has achiev ed a State-wide notoriety, but it is well known in the city that some of his recent predictions have been ful filled to the letter. Early in the year his prediction was that the absence of rain in May would amount to a drought, and he set May 21 as the day when the drought would be .broken. The “Dutch weather prophet” waa obdu rate. He would not change the fore cast. The rain came as predicted, in sufficient in quantity in many sec tions, but abundant in others. It was a starter, and, as the Dutch weather'"•prophet again assured all Inquirers, before a change came for a long period of sunshine the showers would cover the whole country, ad hering to the —fortnightly periods which rule until the summer solstice, which occurs June 20. The next general disturbance will centre around June 19, owing to a major planetary movement on that date. Cool nights are to prevail during the greater period of the summer, which Mr. Houseal says are the re sult of the four-year period that oc curred this year on March 22 and caused the Omaha cyclone and the Ohio flood, having been shifted from March 4 to the above date by the magnetic influence of the sun in con nection with the position which the planet Juniter assumed on that time The assurance Is also given by the long distance foreo-awt of the Dutch weather prophet that the South At lantic coast will not be vfkited this year by a West Indian atorm.

As the idea of Democracy grows, as civilization develops, with the In crease of intelligence and independ ence this domination of the many by the few j»row s more and more hazard- oiitt. The ^^i»r wall of mental and moral inaminates give* way and gov ernment by the people and for the people inevitably asserts itself. It doesn't pay, therefore, to keep up the arrogant assumption that wisdom and discretion are the monopoly of a small clique, when the people begin to give sure indications of their dis satisfaction. There is but one end to the struggle between the many and the fewer; the sooner the victory comes the less disastrous the conse quences—to the few. Now what two large railroads have gone into the hands of receivers there will be a hue and cry raised that re cent railroad legislation is responsi ble for the failure, and a demand will doubtless be made to have the pas senger and freight rates increased. But it remains to be seen how the roads were managed. Not unlikely it will be found that there was loose management and abnormally high salaries paid to the principal officials. Those features are the rocks on which railroads and other large com binations that fail often get wreck ed. Anyway It is well to remember that a good many roads failed before the recent railroad legislation waa enacted. ♦ ♦ Operation Kill* Surgeon . Following an operation for ap- pendicitM on Monday, Dr F.
