MAY ALTER FINANCE BILLS.
Retrenchment Would Ensue I'jHm
Declaration of War.
Columbia, Feb. 4.?Rupture of
diplomatic relations between the
United States and Germany will become
a demoralizing ^factor in the
general assembly during the two remaining
weeks of the session. With
the possibility of entrance into the
European war impending, legislation
of Statewide import is likely to be
enacted cautiously, particularly that
relating to finances.
Appropriations will naturally be
sliced in the effort to conserve economy.
The greatest sufferers will be
State institutions of learning, all of
which were rapidly readjusting themselves
and retrenching losses effected
by the early disturbing influences of
the war, reflected in the United
States. Other institutions calling for|
large appropriations are the State
Hospital for the Insane, the State
Board of Charities and Corrections,
and the State board of health. All
these were entering upon enlarged
spheres of usefulness and foreign
complications will induce legislators
to restrict expenditures wherever possible.
Decided progress was made in both
houses last week. Through effective
committee organization and cooperation,
the issues calling for sharp debate
have been advanced to the lead
in the senate calendar. Insurance
measures to close the breach opened
by the Laney-Odom act are on third
reading in the upper house along
with the three pending liquor traffic
regulation bills. Passage of some
highway commission bill is probable,
that the State may become the beneficiary
of the national fund for the
construction of post roads. Two bills
of this character were debated Saturday
and will be subjected to an^icn-iccinn
TnPsrJav nierht.
Uiuui UlOVu^Civu A w
Another bill about which the
storms of partisan debate will in all
probability rage this week is the bill
to empower the governor to appoint
the chief game warden, without recourse
to recommendation of the
Audubon society. Though regarded
as one of the measures of the administrative
programme, the society
it is said, asked last year that the bill
be passed. "Pernicious political activity"
in last summer's State campaign
is an argument which will perhaps
be advanced by those advocating
the passage of the bill.
Rumor current about the capitol
is that the election of the State warehouse
commissioner has not cleared
the programme of the prospect of an
indirect fight on the system. Information
is that a filibuster on the appropriation
is in contemplation.
Interned Cruisers Seized.
Philadelphia, Feb. 3.?The interned
German cruisers Kronprinz Wilhelm
and Prinz Eitel Friedrich were
seized early tonight by order of the
navy department and their crews imprisoned
in an .isolation barracks.
The "seizure was followed by the
placing of an armed guard at the
yard entrance, while marines were
assigned to patrol the land side
limits of the government preserve.
Motor boats and other light craft
with machine guns aboard patrolled
the river and prevented vessels from
coming within a prescribed area.
Shore leave of marines and sailors
was rescinded and visitors forbidden.
Four steamers, one flying the
American flag, laden with munitions
and other rich cargoes and destined]
for the war zone, sailed from here
today. Among the hal| dozen steamers
that cleared for foreign ports was
the American tanker Gold Shell, for
Bordeaux and Rouen, France.
Beef Stew.
The report that the British government
has recently contracted in the
United States for 600,000,000 cans of
beef stew, for use in provisioning its
armies in the field, has inspired a distinguished
authority on diet to make
analysis of this article of food. It
appears that, in comparison with the
beef stew which finds place upon
American tables, it lacks very considerably
in the chemical ingredient
- " ' J - V, ?
Or C?LiClUlll UAlue, w iLii a. uiopiupw
tionate amount of magnesium; and
that "susceptibility to illness follows."
These chemical discriminations,
* however, are not alarming, in view of
the judgment of the New York Medical
Journal that "the formula sounds
an appetizing one and ought to be
much more acceptable than "bully
beef" to all excepting those few unfortunate
individuals who cannot bear
onions.?Boston Post.
Responsibility.
A teacher asked a little boy to
spell "responsibility." which lie did.
"Now, Tommy." ^aid the teacher,
'can you tell me the meaning of that
big word?" "Yes. mum." answered
Tommmy. "If 1 had only four bottomms
on my trousers, and two came
off, all the responsibility would hang
on the other two."?Life.
"PEAKL OF MVSTK1IV" SOLI).
Was Central (Jem of Stolen Necklace
Valued at $fi7??,000.
The finest pearl of M. Max Mayer's
celebrated necklace, which was not
recovered when the other pearls were
"located" in the autumn of 1913 after
the theft, but came into the possession
of Lloyd's underwriters many
months ater under remarkable circumstances,
has been sold for a sum
that represented five figures. It is
understood that since the recovery
the pearl has been held for underwriters'
account, and that the present
sale has been effected outside
this country.

weighs 47 1-16 grains, and was the
centre pearl of the fine oriental necklace
of 61 graduated pearls, weighing
1,259 grains, which was stolen when
in transit in July, 1913, between
Paris and London. The complete
necklace was valued at 135,000
pounds ($675,000). On September
4 of that year the announcement was
made that two of the large pearls,
valued at 12,000 pounds had been
recovered. On September 15?just
two months after the theft?a package
containing most of the missing
gems was found by a workman in a
Highbury street. One of the smaii
pearls, valued at less than 4 00
pounds, was dropped by the finder,
and it was subsequently replaced in
the necklace by another. The other
57 which were discovered were taken
to the local police station, and were
soon identified by M. Mayer. Only
the central pearl remained unaccounted
for, and this was recovered
on February 24, of the following year
by means which have never been publicly
disclosed.
Immense public interest was taken

who were found guilty of stealing
and receiving the necklace and
were sentenced to terms of imprisonment;
and in the subsequent division
of the reward among the persons who
were held to have participated in the
circumstances leading to the recovery
of the pearls.?London Times.
FLOWER GARDENS.
How They are Used to Interest the
j Traveler.
In the January Woman's Home
Companion, a writer says:
"One of the best means of quickly
catching the interest of the passing
traveler is shown in a beautiful
flower garden on a main highway, (
not fifty miles from New York. It is
a well kept, artistic garden of oldfashioned
flowers, a riot of color the
season through. One long bed runs
quite a distance by the road on each
side of the house, planted with taste
and craft, to give a maximum of
t I
Deauty in successive crups ui uuncio.
Only two harmoniously colored flowers
bloom at a time for the whole
distance, and the effect is very striking.
It is hard to decide which is the
more artistic, the purple and yellow
iris in early spring, or the gorgeous
poppies that follow after, but all
through the flower season this bed
I is sure to catch the eye of the autoist
in time to cause him to slow down,
to enjoy the garden about the quaint
little house. And having slowed
down, he next notices an artistic
swinging sign-board reading, 'Flowergarden
Tea Room' and inviting the
passerby to luncheon or afternoon
tea. All is so alluring that there is
almost too much patronage. He en- |
joys so entirely the surroundings, the
luncheon of good home cooking, the
flowers, that he almost resents the
entrance into this Eden of a lot of
other hungry mortals."
Palmetto State Ready.
Columbia, Jan. 31.?Governor
Manning tonight received the following
telegram from the New York
Times:
"Germany has presented a note tonight
withdrawing her submarine
pledges and indicating her intentions
of sinking without warning by mine
or torpedo, any vessel, including
American, carrying goods or passengers
into a zone extending about
twenty miles around the coasts of
France and the British Isles after
February 1. Please telegraph us a
brief expression of your views on
this situation." The governor replied
as follows:
"Germany's note presents a situation
of extreme gravity and may precipitate
complications resulting in
war. President Wilson can be relied
on to use every possible precaution
to protect American lives, consistent
with the honor and dignity of the nation.
In any eventuality South Carolina
will respond promptly and vigorously
to any call upon her to maintain
our honor and the rights of
American citizens wherever they may
be."
British Columbia last year exported
150 carloads of potatoes. These
went chiefly to St. Joseph, .Mo.
