? That Chicago judge who took it
upon himself to decide officially that
C there was never any such person as

It is funny that every time newspapers
propose any kind of a movement
that borders on a reform they
must be accused of mercenary or unworthy
motives. It appears to be
the argument of some of those desiring
the county-to-county campaign
to go merrily on that the newspapers
are the only ones not wanting the
canvass and that they/want it discontinned
so that they can control the
politics of the State. It is an excellent
compliment to the newspapers to

Ijp SPEED WORK OF SHIPS.
- Commandants to Use Ships* Personnel,
if Necessary.
*
Washington, April 21.?Orders to
speed up repair and overhauling work
on vessels of the Atlantic fleet have
< been sent to the commandants of the
various navy yards by Secretary Daniels.
In case of labor shortage the
commandants are instructed to ex
pedite the work by employing the
ships* personnel.
The move was explained as a ''preparedness
test," the execution of
which would illustrate how quickly
the vessels could be restored to noroffor

winter operations and place them in
readiness in time for the battle practices
and manoeuvres beginning May
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt has
been in conference with officials of
the New York yard, attempting to arrange
for the employment of a sufficient
force of mechanics and other
skilled men to operate that plant on
a night and day schedule.
Secretary Daniels said the officials
were experiencing great difficulties in
getting laborers as government
wages, and also by delay in delivery
of materials ordered for repair work
and construction of vessels being
built. Offers of better pay and advantages
of extra work at double
time, he said, were attracting workmen
to private employ and creating
the scarcity of iabor in the yards.

ALLEGED SHORT ACCOUNTS.

to Jail.
Columbia, April 20.?George C.
Merriman, bookkeeper in the National
Loan and Exchange Bank, of this
city, is in jail charged with making
false entries in the books of the
bank and attempting to deceive its
officers. It is alleged that he was
$3,600 short, and was arrested last
night on a warrant sworn out before
United States Commissioner R. Beverly
Sloan by Federal Bank Examiner
J. William Pole, and committed to
jail in default of $4,000 bond. He
will be given a preliminary hearing
on Monday.
The shortage in the bank was immediately
paid by the bonding company,
the bank carrying a blanket
bond for all its employees.
Reporter Wanted.
"Can you tell me where I can get
a good newspaper man?" asked the
famous publisher of the World, Jo
seph Pulitzer, once upon a time.
"Why, yes," replied his friend, "I
know a man who is a splendid editorial
writer." "To the Old Boy with
editorial writers," snapped Mr. Pulitzer.
"I can shake good editorial
writers out of trees. I said a good
newspaper man. It's a reporter I
want."
That was said years ago. Pulitzer
has been dead a long time, but good
reporters are always in demand. *
There is no dearth of editors. About
good reporters is built a good newspaper.
Editors and other "desk men"
merely belong to the staff, but the
reporter is the field-marshal on the
firing line. The three ablest and
most famous newspaper men in the
United States, Irvin S. Cobb, John
Callan O'Laughlin and Sam Blythe,
are not editors, but reporters. There
are many star repprters of more or
less national repute, but few of the
editorial gentry who have made
themselves heard through the land.
Name Henry Watterson. Frank I.
Cobb and Arthur Brisbane and there
you have about, all the editorial writ- i
ers whose personality has projected
them above their papers.
In the good old days, reporters
composed a strange genius. Many
I lorcrolv ah whicl'OV H'PTP POT1
ii v uu iai tt'l/ vu m j ?' v* v
stantly fighting and w?re a slovenly
lot. They were looked down on by
the better people of the community.
Nowaday, a reporter who tampers to
any extent with "booze" is drifting
from pillar to post. No newspaper
will trust a drunken reporter. The
reporter, even though a cub, is now
looked up to. For him the offices of
great capatilists and statesmen are
wide open. Society regards him most
kindly. He is hail-fellow-well-met
everywhere. ,
The reporter who garbles or twists
or conceals the truth is of brief tenure
on any reputable newspaper, as
is he who tries to write in the interest
of some favored individual or
enterprise. His business is to get the
facts and write facts. He has to exercise
the greatest measure of care
in politics in order to do justice. The
newspaper man who will color the report
of campaign meetings in the behalf
of a friend candidate will get
found out sooner or later and hooted
out. Reporters realize that they
really occupy a public capacity.
News sense, news getting and fairness
are the indispensable requisites
of a good reporter. If he writes well
and can point his "stuff" with original
turns, it is well, but it is not indispensable.
Most.good reporters are
born and not made, but there are a
good many of them who are at least
50 per cent. made. Most reporters
are empty of that assumption of extraordinary
omniscience and plenipotentiary
omnipotence common to the
editorial tribe. You can tell a reporter
something?an editor, nothing.
, . )
By the public generally reporters
are taken into confidence as much as
lawyers, priests and doctors. No
privilege of communication safeguards
the reporter, but he keeps
confidence inviolate and only judicial
order can unseal his lips. If reporters
wrote all they know, the world
would be topsy-turvy and every newspaper
office would look like Liege after
the bombardment.?Greenville
i\ews.
Napoleon in Opera.
Long ago dramatic authors put Napoleon
I on the stage. But until the
present the Little Corporal has only
spoken. Now he is going to sing.
The libretto of the opera is ready and
a Geneves? musician, M. Joseph
Lauber, is to write the music. The
title is simply "1815." The theme
will include the flight from the Isle
of Elba, the hundred days, Waterloo
and St. Helena. The role of the
emperor will be taken by M. Zimmerman,
who joins to a strong tenor
voice the Napoleonic face. The idea
of making Napoleon sing does not
lack in audacity and one may well
ask if it will be accepted by the
French public.?Le Cri de Paris.

INSURANCE CO. COMES BACK.
Reported Others Will Follow Exampleof
Milwaukee Concern.
Columbia. April 20.?The Milwaukee
Mechanics' Fire Insurance company
has returned to South Carolina
ana resumea tne ousiness or writing
fire insurance. This company is capitalized
at $1,000,000 and has total
assets of $4,344,000. The action
marks the re-entrance of the first
company since the insurance muddle
began. It is said that another large
fire insurance company will resume
business in a few days in South Carolina,
and it is understood that still
another big company has displayed
evidence of wanting to return to the
State.
The Milwaukee Mechanics was not
a member of the Southeastern Underwriters'
association, which maintained
the Southeastern Tariff association.
SCIENTIFIC SURVEYING.
Important Investigations Made by
Little Known Government Bureau.
At an annual cost of a 10th of that
of one battleship, the United States
geological survey makes its important
scientific and economic investigations
over the c< untry having the
greatest mineral u .arces. Its work
is separated into the three divisions
oi geological examination, topographic
mapping, and water surveying.
The annual report of the director
shows that last year the geological
investigations, which are made
in every part of the United States
including Alaska, dealt with the
mineral resources of 76,000 square
miles, and ranged from pioneer explorations
of almost unknown territory
to detailed studies of mining
camps. For the topographic map, the
base or source of all maps of the
country, surveys were made in 30
States and in Alaska and Hawaii.
Important work was done in the
water surveys, which include the
measurement of rivers and smaller
streams, and underground water resources,
and furnish data for all kinds
of hydraulic engineering, such as
power, irrigation, drainage and flood
prevention projects. In addition to
these activities, the survey collected
from 90,000 miners and other correspondents
statistical and other information
for 75 reports on the output
of useful minerals.

SYNOPSIS.
On Windward Island, near Charleston,
S. C., Pallidori intrigues Mrs.
Golden into an appearance of evil
which causes Golden to capture and
torment the Italian by branding his
face and crushing his hand. Pallidori
opens the dyke, gates and floods the
island and in the general rush to escape
the flood, kidnaps Golden's sixyear-old
daughter, Margory. Twelve
years later in New York a Masked
One calling himself the "Hammer of
God," rescues an eighteen-year old
girl from the cadet Cassavanti, to
whom Jules Legar had delivered her,
and takes her to the home of Enoch
Golden, millionaire, whence she is
recaptured by Legar. Legar and
Stein are discovered by Manly, Golden's
secretary, setting fire to Golden's
buildings, but escape.
