WON'T DRAIN OUR LANDS.

?-?
Representative Patterson Tbinks We'll
Get No Aid from the Government.
k.Washington, January 31.?Representative
J. 0. Patterson, who for
some Time has been working with the
department of the interior, for the
r purpose of drawing up a bill for the
aramage of the swamp lands of the
United States which would conform
with the washes of the department as
well as the congressmen, today stated
V that he was a Tittle disappointed by
by the point brought up by the de>
. partment, which is that the land if to
.. be drained by the goverment will
have first to become the property of
. the government.
Mr. Patterson attended the meeting
of the congressmen appointed by
the secretary of interior to discuss
this question and draw up a bill, and
^ stated to this correspondent that his
hopes were shattered. "The United
States government win not expena
p. one dollar for the improvement 01
the swamp lands of the United States,
the largest area of which are in the
Southern States, unless the property
is deeded over to the government and
that without any strings attached,"
said Mr. Patterson. "The government
has irrigated the arid lands of
the West, but it belonged to the
government and they disposed of it
as they saw fit. The owners of
property in our section of the country
will not be willing to deed over *to
the government their swamp lands
without any definite understanding
1 that they will be able to again gain
possession of them, which would have
to be by purchase. Although the
lands are not worth very much to
thflm nnw. and the drainage would
mean a great deal to the surrounding
country, still they will not give up
' the landis with the'probabilitv of not
being able to regain it, and the possibility.
of having undesirable neighbors
placed on the land adjoining
their farms. I therefore do not think
that any satisfactory bill ean be
framed to aid the South in draining
her swamp lands on a large scale. Of
course from time to time there will
be certain areas which will be drained,
and in time the whole area will
probably be converted into fertile
healthy farms, but this will not be in
the near future."
Mr. Patterson has been selected by
the department of interior to fight
whatever bill they drafted through
the house, but ^ince the meeting it

AUDITOR WIGGINS WINS OUT.
Senate Refuses to Approve Suspension
of Berkeley County Officer.
Columbia, Jan. 31.?The Senate
to-day in executive session declined
to approve the suspension of county
auditor Wiggins, of Berkeley county.
Some time ago, it will be remembered,
upon the report of the comptroller
general, Governor Ansel
susDended Mr. Wiggins as auditor.
The suspension was reported to the
general assembly. A few days ago
Senator Harvey undertook to have
Mr. Wiggins h|)d in his position.
The Senate did not finish the case.
Today Mr. Harvey managed to have
the Senate take an early start, and
the final result was that the Senate
declined to approve the suspension.
The Berkeley county delegation wished
Mr. Wiggins retained in office, as
they appear to be fully satisfied that
whatever mistakes he made were un?-L"
1 ?j :J
intentional anu acciuenuu.
The Senate took no action on the
suspension of county treasurer Edwards,
This case appears to differ
from that of Mr. Wiggins. Mr.'
Browning is now holding the position
of county treasurer. There was no
temporary or other arrangement as
to the county auditor's office.
Seven Killed in Boiler Explosion.
Sunbury, Pa., Feb. 3.?Seven men
were killed and more than a dozen
injured by the explosion of a boiler
today in the rolling mill of Van Allen
& Co., at Northumberland, two miles
north of here. /
The seriously injured who were
brought to the Sunbury hospital
probably will die.
The rolling mill had been shut down
for three months and was to have resumed
work this morning. All the
boilers and machinery had been overhauled
duing the suspension. The
men were preparing to begin work
when from some unknown cause one
of a number of boilers blew up. The
whole building in which the boilers
were located was wrecked and the
dead were found under the ruins.
Those killed were well known citizens
and are survived by large families.
The loss to the plant is estimated at
$75,000.
fleasure for Drainage.
Washington, Feb. 4?Representative
Legare today introduced a bill
in the house for the drainage of the
swamp and overflowed lands.
This bill has received the endorsement
of Mr. Garfield, secretary of
the interior. " v
Senator Latimer has introduced
this bill in the senate.

day afternoon over a drunken negro
row on the place of Mr. Sam Inman,
a mile and a half west of Yorkville.
It seems that the negroes gathered
there, had plenty of liquor and got
drunk. They then had a quarrel
about a woman and the shooting and
cutting with razors began. One negro,
Jube Rivers, was shot with a
ball in the heel while running from a
Dunlap negro, whom he had cut. Another
negro, Nathan McCleave, got
a ball in the side which ranged around
the front of his body and was found
in his clothing. The shooters were
two brothers named Dunlap. One
was cut on the arm and the other in
the body, with a razor. The two
latter were arrested by Mr. Sam Inman
and Mr. Clarence Glenn and
held until Sheriff Brown and Constable
J. L. Sanders went out and
brought them to jail. Drs. W. (i.
White and T. B. Bell rendered
medical attention to the wounded and
none is supposed to be seriously injured.
City Council fleeting.
A regular monthly meeting of city
council was held. Tuesday evening,
with Mayor G. F. Hair and Aldermen
John Cooner, H. H. Copeland, W.
D. Rhoad, A. M. Brabham, J. A.
Wyman, and F. W. Free present.,
The regular monthly reports were
received and usual routine business
transacted.
A. W. Knight appeared for the
board of public works and informed
council that the board would not be
able to purchase a small engine for
the electric light plant under the
resolution adopted at last meeting of
council.
The proposition of the county supervisor
as to working town convicts
on the county chain gang was accepted.
It was unanimously agreed by council
that the operators of slot machines
be required to conform to the law.
This will affect the cigar machines
operated in this city.
The police were instructed to break
up the practice of persons congregating
on the street in rear of the dispensary
to drink.

light pole at the corner by H. C.

Minister Indicted.
Cartersville, Ga., Jan. 30.?For
the alleged use of improper language
in the presence of ladies while in the
Tabernacle pulpit. Rev. Walter Holcomb
has been indicted by the grand
jury. Holcomb is a son-in-law and
co-worker of the late Sam Jones.
The alleged offense occurred at the
great meeting held here in the Sam
Jones tabernacle last fall.
It is alleged that Holcomb was very
frank and used words that are never
spoken from a pulpit. Much indignation
was created and Holcomb's indictment
followed. x

Modern Woman
Co-operative Housekeeping For
Business Girls?Vanity Hoodoos
Many Feminine Business Ventures.
How to Keep the Maid. :: ::
Philadelphia may be slow in some
particulars, but as far as benevolence
is concerned it is second to none. This
is particularly true of its philanthropies
for the benefit of self supporting
f women. It has its splendid woman's
hotel in the shape of the Young Women's
Christian Association building
at Arch and Eighteenth streets, where
moderate prices are charged for excellent
service and where the finance's are
so managed that there is no margin .
Df loss, as is claimed for some of the
pretentious and high priced women's
hotels in other parts of the country.
One of its latest projects is co-operative
housekeeping for business women.
The Second Presbyterian church has
iust opened a fine house adjacent to
its Settlement building where for n
reasonable sum wage earning women
may have a beautiful home. There
are separate tables in the dining room
for each patron or group of patrons,
and each may have her own gas stove
for cooking in the kitchen. The rooms
are handsomely decorated and artistically
fbrnished, while china and silver
are supplied for the tables.
* * *
Vanity gets women into more trouble
than almost any other quality.
Miss Jane Addams points out that
most of the reckless investments made
by self supporting women are due to
the blandishments of unscrupulous promoters,
who appeal to their victims'
judgment as "business women." Even
the most feather brained female believes
that she is a person of penetration
and astuteness, and to have her
own opinions so flatteringly verified is
enough to induce her to invest in the
proffered stocks, and in the course of
events she loses. Sound enterprises
do not have to go a-begging for money.

Eggs must be cheaper in the canal
zone than they are here. Miss. Gertrude
Beeks, who went down to investigate
conditions in Panama for the
government, says one man told her
that he had eaten so many that he
shuddered whenever he heard a hen
cackle. Housekeepers who are paying
a half dollar per dozen for eggs' long
parted from the hen would be glad if
a paternal government would import
some of Panama's superfluous fowls
here, where the music of their cackle
might delight a famine stricken public.

In a recent Interview Mrs. Frances
Hodgson Burnett, who Is living at
Sands Point, on Long Island, ridiculed
the heroines of old fashioned fiction.
Lady Castleton she termed "cattish"
and Amelia Sedley a "ninny." She
thinks that people would not tolerate
such types nowadays. After all, human
nature Is pretty much the same
in all ages, and in spite of Mrs. Burnett's
opinion many people who read
and observe cannot see that the petticoated
"cat" and "ninny" are as yet
lost types. They sail across the pages
of fiction, being most numerous In
those volumes devoted to picturing so
called "high life." The cat and ninny
are products of the idle life and are
less numerous among busy women
than in the leisure clasfe. The cure for
"cattishness" and "ninnism" is to be
found in work.
* *
A fair day's work for a fair pay Is
Mrs. Smith's rule. She dole not expect
the cook to be a Waldorf chef nor the
upstairs maid to do fancy sewing for
her. But she does ask both to do plain
cooking and plain sweeping and dusting
well.
After they have been in her house a
week cook and parlor maid decide that
there is no nonsense and no demand
for extras on the part of the lady of
the house. They make up their minds
that It is a good place to stay in, and
they do their work accordingly.
A bad servant, one who is sloppy or
111 tempered, is not worth bothering
with, but any" woman of medium intelligence
who is neat and appreciates
the right kind of mistress can be
trained into a good servant who will
stay in a house indefinitely.

It Isn't the doll child that is having
it hardest in its first year at school,
but the child who has never been
taught to obey. Teacher has not much
tide tor moral suasion, and the mother's
darling who doesn't yield to the
fljst gentle urging will feel the weight
of the iron hand in the velvet glove.
After all, it is the kindest as well as
the wisest thing for the child for its
mother to teach it the lesson of obedience
at her knee.

Miss Margurite De Forest Anderson,
a woman who has won success as a
flutist, advises women who have weak
lungs to learn to play the cornet, flute
or some other wind instrument 'She :
says it has developed her from a delicate
girl to a young woman of superb
chest development Miss Anderson
studied under Albert -Fransella, the
most celebrated instructor of the flute.
She has appeared at Windsor castle
and at many of the most brilliant concerts
in England. Now she has re(
