?
Editor J. L. Sims, of the Orange
burg Times and Democrat, nas our
hearty congratulations, which we feel
are not premature. Both of the Senators
from South Carolina have united
on him for the position of United
States marshal and he will no doubt
be appointed. He richly deserves the
place, and will make a most excellent
official.
That was shabby treatment Senator
Tillman received at the hands of his
colleagues in denying him the chairmanship
of the appropriation committee,
to which he was entitled, but
we are glad that the Senator showed
himself to be the great man he is in
accepting the result without bitter
ness. He put aside nis rigrus ana
feelings in the matter in order that
there might be harmony in the ranks
of the Democracy, hoping that some
real service might be done the people.
Few would have acted as admirably
as did Senator Tilling
Illinois Troops Stop Lynching.
???
Salem, 111., March 14.?State troops
were sent to Salem tonight by Governor
Dunne to aid in quelling, a
mob that surrounded the jail and
threatened to lynch Frank Sullens,
white, who is held on a charge of attacking
Dorothy Holt, 14 years old,
daughter of Judge Charles Holt. The
angry citizens became so insistent in
their demands for possesion of the
x prisoner that Sheriff Purcell tele-'
graphed for militia and Adjutant
General Dickinson and a company of
soldiers were sent on a special train
When news came-that the troops
*were on the way, the mob dispersed
but soon gathered again.
After the sheriff and his deputies
had made repeated efforts to drive
away the crowd, many went home
but more than 200 men, who declared
they would hang the prisoner, filled
the streets with angry shouts, surrounding
the jail several times, only
to be driven back by the sheriff's
force.
To aid in preserving order, all the
preachers and aldermen, in addition J
to several business men, seized all |
the whiskey and beer they could find |
and poured it into the gutters.
The victim of the attack was on
her way home from a moving picture
show last night when a man seized
her by the throat, gagged her with a
handkerchief and took her a mile
and a half out of the town to a
slaughter house. The girl lost consciousness
and remained in the
slaughter pen until today. She finally
home. She is in a serious condition.
Sullens was arrested this afternoon.
It is said he admitted that
he dragged the girl to the slaughter
pen, but did so for another man who
promised him $5 and a drink of whisky.
The girl said she saw no one
but Sullens.
Baseball on Roofs of Skyscrapers.
Chicago, March 14.?Skyscraper
baseball played 200 feet above the
street level is the newest sport adopted
by employes in the main building
rvf thp f!hinaeo TeleDhone Co.. since
the mild weather has made outdoor
playing possible. A baseball diamond
has been laid out on the roof
of the new building and two teams
organized. Every day during the
noon hour the teams play a few innings.
The diamond is inclosed by a sixfoot
wall and the roof is so large that
no one has yet been able to bat the
indnnr bail out of the "grounds."

WILL BUILD NEW PIER.
i Charleston Navy Yard Has Approval
of Secretary for $300,000 Pier.
Washington, March 10.?Josephns
Daniels, secretary of the navy, to-day
j approved the location near the presi
ent torpedo slips at the Charleston,
IS. C., yards of a new pier to cost
{ $300,000 to be used to berth torI
pcdo boats. The bureau of yards
j and docks was to-day instructed to
j take the necessary preliminary steps
j to expedite this work, which is
among the first construction items
undertaken by the new administration.
Secretary Daniels has indicated
that there will be a material addition
in the amount of work to be
done at Charleston in the future.
Tillman Bows to Caucus.
Washington, D. C., March 15.?As
might have been gathered during
the past few days in spite of reports
to the contrary from other sources,
things took a decided mrn against
Senator Tillman's chances for the
chairmanship of the appropriations
committee alter the Democratic
"steering committee" had settled
down to work.
The committee voted Wednesday
to award this chairmanship to Senator
Martin, of Virginia, giving Senator
Tillman the naval affairs chairmanship.
When the South Carolina
Senator heard this he "got busy."
with the result that the "steering
committee" agreed to reopen the
matter, but the second decision was
a repetition of the first.
Senator Tillman decided, in the
interest of harmony, to tone down
the bitter speech which he had contemplated
making to the caucus.
He requested. Senator E. D. Smiti.
to read to the caucus a statement in
which he gave restrained utterance
to the feeling that he had been
treated unjustly in order to advance
the interests of others, and expressed
his regret on account of his State;
but with regard to persons, the Tillman
statement merely compared the
records of himself and Senator Martin
as to progressiveness, quoting an
anti-Wilson interview credited to
Senator Martin during the Baltimore
Convention.
Senator Martin made no reply in
I the caucus and would not comment
after the Senate had ratified the caucus
assignments, except to say thar.
he was gratified with the treatment
which had been accorded him therein.
Senator Tillman made a motion in
the caucus, after his statement had
been read, that his own name be
substituted for that of Senator Martin
as chairman of the committee o?
appropriations. This motion was
overwhelmingly defeated, only four
Senators voting in its favor. They
were: Senators Smith, of South Carolina;
Martine, of New Jersey; Sliafroth,
of Colorado, and Bacon, of
Georgia.
In the session of the Senate which
followed Senator Tillpian made a
motion that the caucus action be
.ratified and made , the following explanation
indicative of submission,
but not of surrender:
"Under the rules of the Senate,
which have always obtained here, I
was entitled to the chairmanship of
the committee on appropriations. I
asked for that, but my colleagues, in
thoir wisdom?and I recoenize that
every man on the "steering committee'
that elected the membership of
this committee is my friend?thought
"that I had better retire into the still
water for a while and leave the battleships
to go put into the open. I
bow and cheerfully submit to that
decision."
After the Senate adjourned, the
senior South Carolina Senator said
that he did not feel cowed at all, but
wnntofl an imnrpssion of harmonv 10
be made to help the party fight its
battles. * ^
'"I had intended," said the Senator,
"to carry the fight into the Senate
itself Monday, in order to put
into the Record and let the people
know my attitude, but in the interest
of my party harmony and patriotism
I decided to make the foregoing
statement on the floor of the
Senate to-day instead."
It is felt here that the course of
Senator Tillman, in bowing gracefully
to the will of his colleagues,
has helped him in the long run. As
chairman of naval affairs he will be
in the best possible position to
guard the interests of the Charleston
navy yard.
Besides the chairmanship of naval
affairs, Senator Tillman retains the
r>VioirmaricjVii'n nf the committee 011
the five civilized tribes of Indians |
and is placed on the following other j
committees: Appropriations, forest
reservation and protection of game,
mines and mining and private land J
claims.
L. H. Couch, proprietor of a meat
market, and Ed. Chapman, a barber,

THE TEMPTATION TOO GREAT.
Former Assistant Cashier, Dying, Recites
the Story of His Thefts.
San Francisco, Cal. March 15.?
Charles A. Baker, former assistant
cashier of the Crocker National Bank,
admitted to-day that he was guilty,
as charged, of embezzlements from
the bank, that are estimated at $200,000.
Two guards from the United States
Marshal's office sat at his bedside
9
while Baker, who is critically ill at
his home, whispered the story of his
downfall.
"Every bit of it is true," he said.
"I fell because of temptation I was
constantly subjected to. The bank
paid me $10,000 a year for my services.
Every day stock dabblers and
financi rs called at the bank and daily
thev told me of the thousands they
had won the day before with scarcely I
J an effort.
"These conversations gradually be'
came more and more impressive. I
began to think I should be taking
advantage of the opportunities put
before me. One day a man came to
me and gave me a tip to buy a stock.
I took it. I won. I got a second tip
a few days later. I took that tip
and lost. After that I won occasionally
and lost frequently. I tried to
recoup my losses and make good
with the bank. I intended to stop
gambling as soon as I could even
up." I
ESKIMO DOG FARMS.
Woman Breeds and Trains Animals
for Arctic Exploration.
At Grove Park, one of the suburbs
of London, Mrs. Scott conducts a
very interesting dog farm, where |
she breeds and trains for the market,
says The Scientific American.
The market is not very large, but it
is sufficient to make the best possible
Eskimo dogs which are trained
for Arctic exploration.
ir you aeciue uu uuciive a. jwumv,? I
to one of the poles, you know that j
Eskimo dogs are absolutely essential.
You can get good Eskimo dogs
in Greenland or in Alaska. But the
good dogs in Greenland may not
be exported except by special per- >
mission of the Danish government,
and the dogs in Alaska are not so
good. One trouble with ordinary
Eskimo dogs is that they have no
breeding and no discipline.
They will obey the master with
whom they have been brought up.
but when they start after fish or' |
other game their master can control |
them only by the exercise of brute
force. For the purpose of your exploration
you need dogs that will
obey orders given by a white man,
dogs that are broken to the harness
and are not afraid of work, dogs that
have learned teamwork.
It is this kind of dog that Mrs.
Scott raises for the market. Her
kennels have only pure-blooded ani
mals of carefully selected stock, ana i
from earliest puppyhood she trains
them in how to eat and how to work.
When she gets through with an Eskimo
dog the animal is not nearly
so ferocious as one that just "growed
up" in the surroundings of an
Eskimo village.
They adapt themselves quickly to
new masters, and they have acquired
good eating manners, so that they
are not likely to attack the cupboard
or fresh game. Mrs. Scott feeds her
animals no meat except pemmican
and dried fish brought from Norway;
a large part of the diet is a specially
prepared biscuit. She has supplied
trained dogs for a number of Arctic
and Antarctic expeditions.
Wind Hits Jordanville.
Conway, March 17.?A terrific
tornado swept Jordanville, some 12
miles northwest of here, Saturday
afternoon, killed one man, injured
half a dozen people, some seriously,
and caused considerable property
loss. John Tompkins, a well known
planter, was the only person who
lost his life, so far as has been re-_
ported. Jordanville is not on the
railroad and has no telephonic communication,
and hence the details of
the storm's visit are but meagre.
t+ i= tnnwn however, that eieht
or ten houses in the Jordanville community
were razed by the wind, while
considerable damage was done to
other property.
The tornado struck the town late
Saturday afternoon. Apparently the
storm moved in a northwesterly direction.
.Its path was about half a
mile wide, and, according to reports
received here, it traveled about a
mile and a half before its fury was
moderated.
The storm was accompanied by a
very heavy fall of rain, which extended
to other portions of the county
beside the region swept by the
tornado.

There seems to be some charactei

there were some discussions in th
family as to whether it would not t
better to have the dog killed. Th
baker, however, instructed the no

assistant to take nine marks to th
excise office and bring back the do
license. At the same time, the wif<
not knowing what her husband ha
done, told the young man to take th
dog to the animal's home and hav

cents) for the fee and 12 cents fc
