Special to tho Derne rcat:-Wash ingt< ?*., p C, Fob 15:-In a ro cen Hearing before tho commit tco on agriculture coneering tho Appalachian Forest Reserve there were a number of eloquent ad dresses made by delegates from several states, appeal ino- to tho committee for a favorable report, and urging the need of such legis lation for the country. This bill will provide for an appropriation to secure this r?servation in order that the. timber of the Country may be saved from devastation. In connection willi this movement the valuable service contributed by Senator Latimor of South Car olina is ol' noteworthy mention.1 From tho record it, is ascertained that Senator Latimor in co-opora with Senator Simmons ol' North Carolina began as pioneers, to stir a favorable sentiment for this work. ll may bo well said thal tho prosei t agitation of this sub ject is diu> largely lo tho activity ol' Senator Lat? mer in pointing out the necessity of such legisla tion. lt has taken much though, ? unusual tact, and very considera ble time to bring into thc serious consideration ol' the loading states-i utan ol' the nation. We are priv i leged to assert timi tho tittitltdo ol' thc pending measure permits us to venture that at present it is in a most promising light for passage al this session. Asa preliminary part of this work there has been under way since hisi session a sur vey of the proposed tracts of land to bo incorporated in this Reser vation. lt was Senators Simmons anti Latimor, who by their ipiict forceful method of work ?1 tho last session of congress secured ?1 sn Ilici?n t appropriation to have this done, w hich in itself is (?nile a victory? 1 lenee wc arc of tho opinion that if Senator Latimor should hot succeed ai this session in bringing about tho. desired encl.; I such legislation will at any rat e, ultimately bo enacted into law. object the refunding of #08,000, 000.01) ol colton tax money which was in violai ion ol' the federal con stitution, levied und 'Collected from thc ? otion states between the years' ol' I SO I and 1808 Mr Aiken is giving' abundant linio 1(1 this mat ter and will cooperate willi a Hin? ber of other southern Representa tivos in demanding of thc govern ment to refund this illegally collec ted money to (he people of thc south. This hill provided that thc?(58,000,000 00 bo prorated to the several states according to thc amount they paid as taxes, and eventually refunded to those who paid the taxes at ihe timo prov i Ved bona lido claims lee presented for tho amount, so paid. The re maining amount of this fund is to bc deposited in the treasury of the slate. Mr Aiken expressed him self as of the opinion that the bill was in good favor and that the possibility of its passage was en couraging. Should he succeed in this effort it would be a great boon to the entire Southland. Representative Kl 1er bo of South ('tirol i na is doing some valiant work just at this time in regard to securing an appropriation of $ 100,000 for tho erection of a post ollico building at Darlington, South Carolina. Mr Kllorbo stated that he was hopeful of success in this undertaking, and especially so on account of tho striking need of such a building as ho proposes to have erected. Kc fore tho com mittee hemade a strong contrast with the present ed i (ico as com pared to other publier buildings af Darlington. Mr 101 lorbo is ambi tious to do justice? to the pride of his people and for this reason will lhako a determined effort to gain a favorblo roport'from thc committee recommending; thal the $100,000 be allowed for thc desired purpose. Ho has filed letters from his con st it neills, and ot her information which will be valuable evidence in his hearing-; also ?1 number of pic tures made ol' buildings in Ihe sunni vicinity and section of the : city where the post ollico is to bc located, together with a picture of tho present building used for this purpose. Thcso pictures aro in themselves sufficiently convincing to warrant a favorable report and Mr Kllorbo entertains tho expecta tion that ho will lie able to have his bill enacted into law as orig inally drafted, to his constitu cuts a magnificent public; structure which will bo an onamout to the city of Darlington and stand as a monument to his untiring ellorts in this undertaking.

The case was soul lo the higher court and ihe defendant re leased on bond. Krom tin1 testimony and ihe warrant, which was sworn oui by .lohn Stubbs, a negro, it appears that Stubbs WOnt io the store ol' Moore on Feb ?th and wauled some rations. Ii is alleged thal he, after failing- to get a lion, said, "Odom I ba*1 gol io havo some thing.'1 Wah that it, is further alleged that Mr Odom informed the negro that he must put a han dle boiore his name when he ad dressed him. There were some further words and Odom alleges that OU account ol'the attitude of Stubbs he went and got his pistol and ordered him ont ol' the store. ollico wiih his pistol the negro Stubbs was standing facing the door w illi his hand in his hip pock et . lb4 admits thal lie drew his pistol on the negro lllld ordered him ont of the st i ?re, Karl ie r in the dilliculty Odom admitted that he cursed thc negro winni he was addressed so insolently, Messrs Mueller and Townsend wer?' tho attorneys respectively for ()dbth and ihe negro; Th s case will probably come up for trial at thc coining torin of court.

A dis cussion of the do fi subject. 1 have just heard with sorrow, that a dotx luis bitten tho little child of Mr. Will Spears, and he gone with her to Atlanta, to have her treated if the test proves that tho do<>- was mad, as ho car ried the do^-'s head with him. 1 wish ho could have carried ten sol id cars of heads instead of one. When I heard of it 1 was shocked bo.yond measure, lt brings to my mind that less than a year since 1 had the same sad experience. So 1 lind myself in a proper frame of mind to pay my respects to those contemptible, trouble making, bo: ch-leggod cusses. 'The readers of the Advocate will recall that in an article a few months sineo 1 made thc prediction that just as long as every other house could boast of from om* to three (logs the people would bc in danger of being bitten by mud dogs. .My prediction has come true, and Mr. Gibson, and child, and little Edith Spears, was the unfortunate ones. Who will be the next \ In less than a year eight persons has gOllO to ho treated foi' do?;- bites and two others lost their lives be cause they could not go. More than $1500 had \0 he spent, on ac count of dogs, while the tax books shows that only $507.50 was col lected on them for thc year 1900. All this has occured in .Marlboro county while our legislators seem to be at ease in Zion, looking on with sublime and absolute indifor enee, while people that they ure supposed to represent havoall this trouble to bear. Why dont wo have :i bar room at every cross road : liecause the law don't al low them. Why aro th re so ma ny worthless dogs? Because tho law does allow them. 1 hope that I will live to see the time come when innocent children can play in and around their homes and not be in danmor of being bit ! I will close in tho language of t 1'ilate of old, what I have written, 1 nave written. .1. I >. ( Jovington. Oleo. S. C., Iv. l<\ I), no l, P. S.

Thc Quarterly conference of tho Methodist church was held last Sunday. Presiding Llder Kilgo, of this district, was present and preached at the morning service. The sermon was very practical and was listened to with close attention. Taking as his subject" The need of the Church for the business men", Mr. Kilgo proceeded to show the present attitude of thc business man towards the church. Ile said that the business mun gave probably more liberally to the church today than they had ever done before, lint lhere they seemed to think that their buly ended. They loft the work to be carried on for tho most part by tho women. The business man would say that lie was too busy when ho was approached and ask ed to head any movement. Thc gulf between tho pastor and the business man seemed to bc widen cning. lie could hardly be persua ded to walle a few blocks and at tend a meeting of the conference where formerly his fathers had ridden miles and spent two or three days at a mooting of thc conference. Ile was absent from prayer meeting and from the Sun day school. Dr. Kilgo demonstrated the need of the business man in tho Sunday school and his oil oct on the young boy. When tho chil dren are small a lady is thc best teacher. But when the boy tret to putting on long pants and to sprouting a mustache he feels that he must get away from petticoat government and unless a man was present to take him in charge ho would probably be lost to tho Sun day school if not to thc church. The boys as they grow up follow -o ?i? o CREIGHT WRECK ON A. C. L. Cars Derailed Near Parktoiv-No One Hurt.
