C. r WOULD CHECK RADICALS. Introduces Anti-Bolshevik Measure * in Congress. Washington, Nov. 5.?A bill to prohibit and punish advocacy of the overthrow of the government by physical injury to persons or property, or the circulation or distribution of matter, including anything whpse intended or probable result would be to cause disturbance, rioting or resort to unlawful methods of effecting cnanges Dasea upon racial or ciass differences, was introduced in the house today by Representative James F. Byrnes, of the Second South Carolina district. Mr. Byrnes has for some time been active in protesting against the circulation through.the mails and otherwise, of literature bearing Bolshevistic and anarchistic earmarks and calculated to arouse the negroes of the country to violence against the whites. He has received many threatening anonymous letters. The bill prescribes a penalty of not more than $5,000 fine or five years imprisonment, or both, for violation of its terms and provides that if the person convicted is an alien he shall be deported at the expiration of his sentence and forever barred from reentry into the United States. The measure has the approval and support of the postoffice department and of the department of justice. It was refrrred to the committee on judiciary, of which Representative Whaley is a member. A similar meas ure, without the racial clause, has been reported favorably in the senate, and it is planned to add the racial features of the Byrnes bill to it later. ?Mr. W.

City to Expend Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand for Improvemnts. Orangeburg, Nov. 6.?An important election was held in Orangeburg Tuesday when a bond issue of $850, 000 was adopted for sewer and water extension, for paving streets and sidewalks, for gas plant to be owned by the city and for the erection of an electric light white way from the Southern railway pal^enger station to the Atlantic Caost Line passenger station. ..The vote for the entire bond I issue jvas larger and the bonds won ; out almost overwhelmingly. The paving to be done by the money raised under this bond issue, together with the abutting property tax, will make Orangeburg one of the best paved cities for its size in the State. City council, which was elected upon a permanent improvement platform, is delighted that this progressive measure has won out. A paving , commission consisting of five well known business men of Orangeburg will have charge of the funds for the paving of the streets. NEGRO IN SHERIFF S RESIDENCE. Fortunately Mrs. Sanders Was Armed and Negro Bolted. Mrs. C. Keys Sanders, wife of the sheriff of Barnwell county, was badly frightened Saturday night when she found a negro man in their house in Blackville. She had been visiting one of her neighbors and between 9 and 10 o'clock returned home and was going into the bed room to put up her husband's pistol. As she turned on the light, she discovered a negro in the room and with great presence of mind immediately leveled the pistol at him, although she was entirely unfamiliar with its'operation. The negro was scared worse than she was and immediately turned ana ran. Mrs. Sanders said that if she had had her own pistol instead of her husband's that he would not have escaped. She was alone in the house at the time and it was very fortunate that she had the pistol in her hand, even though she did not know how to i I sh'oot it.?Barnwell People.

For the quarter ending June 30, 1919, there were 2,024 jail! commitments compared with 1,312: commitments for the quarter ending September 30, 1919. Homicide was decreased appreci-; ably. The last quarter had 63 commitments for homicide, whilst the( Tuna finartor liar? R1 Thp last miar- i *J UUV/ UUU1 iiUU w -a. ? s, .M~ ? ^ ter had 113 commitments for^ssault; ; the June quarter 175.

The quarter ending June 30 show- j ed: Negroes?Males under sixteen, 65; I females under eighteen, 32. Whites?Males under seventeen, 53; females under eighteen, 10.

J ' ^ WOULD PLY TO SOUTH POLE. V British Antarctic Expedition Plans Well Advanced. s John L. Cope, leader and organiz- ; er of the British Antarctic expedition, states that the preparations for his flight to the South Pole are well advanced. Experts are now engaged in designing the plane in which the flight will be made. "We have received a terrible blow in the death of Brig. Gen. Lee, who had signed on with the expedition as chief of the aeronautical staff, would have piloted the plane to the Smith Pole " said Mr Cone. "I am now in negotiation with one of the most famous airmen in the world . . who, I think will take the place of Gen. Lee. I cannot disclose his name, but he has won the Victoria Cross, as well as the Distinguished Service Order for his magnificent exploits as an airman on the Western front.'' Mr. Cope stated that he was not merely going to fly to the pole, but that he intended to use the airplane throughout the six or seven years that the expedition would be on the ice. The Antarctic has never been charted properly, he said, owing to the fact that many parts were quite v inaccessible on foot. It was his intention to chart \the whole Antarctic from the air. Second in command to Mr. Cope will be Ernest Joyce, who accompanied the first Scott expedi^on to the South Pole, and was a member of both Shackleton expeditions. v Mail Wreck in Air. > Washington Nov. 6.?Senator Dial has lodged with the postoffice department a somewhat unusual complaint which comes from a constituted in Charleston.
