Columbia, Feb. 14.?The senat

bert, providing for the participatio
of South Carolina in the Panama
Pacific exposition in 1915. The bii
I
carries with it an appropriation c
$12,000. E. J. Watson, commh
aioner of agriculture, commerce an

Mullins, Nicholson, Richardsor
Stuckey, Sullivan, Weston an
Young.
"I never heard of any results fror
any exhibit made anywhere," declar

ed Senator (janisie, in opposing in
passage of the bill. "Whenever Soutl
Carolina exhibits it merely exhibit
our comparative poverty."
It was pointed out that it was no
a question of making a big display
but of showing the :indeveloped re
sources of this State. It was said tha
emigrants do not seek a land alread;
developed and that South Oarolim
has unlimited resources that are uu
developed.
"The United States government ha
made a survey of the soils of thi
State and if this bill does no mor
than distribute literature showing th
valuable soils here it will be wort]

One naturally would think that Co'
Frank Supplee, 62 years of age and
former commander of the Four!
Maryland Regiment in the Civil Wai
was a man of considerable know]
edge, says the New York Globe. Un
doubtedlv he is, but we are surprise
. that he has yet to learn one thin
which we supposed pretty nearl
everyone knew?namely, the respec
. a traveler should show to the Puli
man porter.
. When the Wolverine Express rol!

yesterday Colonel Supplee was carl
ed off to Bellevue Hospital. He ha
four scalp wounds and a half doze
more or less severe abrasions an
la^omtirms nf the head. It seem
the Colonel had found fault with th
manner in which his shoes had bee
polished by the porter, by name M:
Benjamin Harrel. Such presumptio
on the part of a common person n
self-respecting porter could tolerat<
Mr. Harrel quickly showed his di:
pleasure.
Colonel Supplee was lucky to g(
off with as little damage as he di(
Our sympathy is extended to M
Harrel. who was unceremonious]

charge of felonious assault.

5 Prisoner Seeking Liberty, Probably ]
Finds Death.
>s Florence, February 14.?Tipple
Lewis, a negro who killed a white i
e man in Emanuel county, Ga., in 1911, s
1_ was tried and convicted in October, ]
1912, and who was in the Emanuel 1
n countv. Ga.. jail at Swainsboro i
? awaiting a pending appeal, and who
1- broke and escaped from that jail on
Christmas day, in 1912, came near
e being killed by jumping from the
Palmetto Limited train, No. 83,
southbound, over the Atlantic Coast
11 Line between Sellers and Latta,
s. Thursday morning.'
3 Lewis, after breaking jail in Geor5
gia, left the State and was recently
7 located in Camden, N. J. Deputy
6 Sheriff E. L. Currie, of Dublin coun1
ty, Ga., an adjoining county to
3 Emanuel, was sent to Camden for
5 Lewis. Just after leaving Richmond
9 Lewis was noticed to be making an
2 effort to escape, but the deputy
6 made additional fastenings to Lewis.
2 Just after leaving Latta the deputy
0 stepped out of his seat for a moment
9 and in the twinkling of an eye Lewis
4 had lifted the sash and out of the
7 window he flew. The conductor who
4 was sitting by attempted to catch
5 him by the feet as he went out but he
7 missed his mfirk and "cuff" went
4 down with "flying colors" to the ditch
0 bank.
9 The train was stopped and backed
9 to where Lewis lay, and it was found
7 that he was paralyzed from his neck
5 down, and he was brought to Flor7
ence and placed in the Coast Line's
8 negro hospital where he is thought
9 to be in a dying condition. When
2 Lewis left the train by the "bird
~ route" old "83" was fairly flying at a
gait of something like. "60 per,"

s Rest Periods for Women. ^
The last official act of John Skel0
ton Williams as acting Secretary of
e r
. the Treasury, just before he took ,
[1 c
the oath as comptroller, will commend
him not merely to the employees
of the treasury department,
v but to all lovers of humanity. In adj
dition to the lunch hours Mr. Williams
directed that there should be
rest periods in the money and stamp
counting divisions which will give the
women employees breathing spells
from 10.30 to 10.40 each morning
g and from 2 o'clock to 2.10 each afternoon.
. Incessant application, it was
I. ?
found, impared the accuracy of these
^ women employees. The work is unusually
exacting, and puts a heavy

the workers. The rest periods will
L- r
, relax the tension. The relief will

^ enable them to keep their health and,
* incidentally, bring briskness and ac- c
' curacy to the work of the departi
ment.

The government has been very
, slow to adopt the humanitarian prol1
gram which has been inaugurated
by many private concerns. Many 1
^ corporations have found real economy
in the establishment of a pension

have established schools for their eme
ployees. rest rooms, gymnasiums and
bands, the theory being that the emr
ployees should l>e in good physical
" and mental health. 1

Lawmakers Working for Adjourn- U

Washington, February 15.?Aduinistration
leaders in congress,
seeking to speed up the legislative
program, will make an effort this
veek to dispose of more of the appropriation
measures. In the senate,
;he postoffice appropriation bill will
pe taken up whilet he house is completing
work on the Indian bill.
With the session now nearly three
tnonths' old, and new problems presenting
themselves, democratic chieftains
are growing apprehensive about
the possibility of an early adjourn- |
ment, so members can get into the I
coming congressional campaign. It is I

nittees to work as rapidly as possible
and floor leaders have been urgid
to limit debate to a minimum.
A Fight in Store.
While the senate usually disposes
)f appropriation bills rapidly, there
s a fight in store on the postoffice P

nent which would take the power
'rom the postmaster general to

eatures of the parcels post system,
kittle will be accomplished early in

senator Bacon, whose funeral will be 1
leld Tuesday. Though the death of
he Georgia senator will deprive the
oreign relations committee of its
eader, no change is contemplated in
he program to begin consideration of
he eight general arhitration treaties
)ending. These will be taken up in
ixecutive session of the senate Tues- <
lay, the leadership in the discussion

anking democrat, is ill.
Expired Treaties.
The conventions to be pressed for
atification and extension are the exured
treaties with Great Britian, Ja
>an, Italy, Spain, sweaen, Norway,
Portugal and Switzerland. Senator U
Ihively to-night said there undoubt;dly
would be opposition to the
reaties^ but he confidently expected
ill to be ratified.
Immigration legislation will be
:onsidered throughout the week by
he senate committee on immigraion.
Revision and perfection of anti- II
rust legislative bills will continue IJ
tefore senate and house committees,
