F. Ansel presented to Captain A. F. Fechteler, of the battleship South Carolina, a magnificent silver service as the gift of tho State. The presentation was made in the presence of an audience which completely filled the large building, and which throughout the exercises displayed the utmost enthusiasm. Governor Ansel delivered the presentation address, and the response was made by Captain Fechteler of the battleship. An interesting, feature of the exercises was the presentation by Mrs. It. Moultrie Bratton, state regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution, of a Palmetto flag. Commander J C. Leonard, in accepting the flag declared that no foe should ever take it away from the South Carolina. Since the arrival of the South Carolina in this port early Sunday morning Charleston has given itself over to a scries of elaborate entertainments in honor of the ship, which is the largest vessel of war that has ever entered the harbor. These culminated Tuesday afternoon with a reception aboard the vessel, and on nicM with another recep I UCOvtaj tion tendered by the governor at the ' Charleston hotel. This hotel was the scene of one of the most notable banquets ever given in Charleston, all the city's distinguished guests being present. Among the speakers were Captain Pechteler, who said that the Charleston Navy Yard has the best plant in the oountry; Congressman George E. Foss, chairman of the House committee on Naval affairs, who stated that the dry dock and buildings were not surpassed anywhere and Assistant Secretary of the Navy Winthrop. The battleship will remain in the harbor until Friday, and until her departure, the round of entertainments will not cease. Wednesday night the Carolina Yacht chid w?? the host at a grand ball at the Navy Yard, while Wednesday morning and today was devoted to the entertainment of the crew of the battleship.

MILLER AND MRS. SAYLER OONVICTKD OF Murdering Mrs. Sayler's Husband, and Given Twelve and Three Years Respectively in Prison. At Watseka, 111., Dr. W. R. Miller and Mrs. J. B. Saylor whoso names have been coupled In the Sayler murder trial, Monday were found guity of manslaughter for the slaving of J. 13. Sayler of Cresent City, husband of the woman, last July. John Grunden, medicine vender from Oklahoma. Mrs. Sayler's father was acquitted. Punishment was fixed by the Jury in Dr, Miller's case at twelve years imprisonment In the penitentiary while imprisonment for three years was allotted to Mrs. Sayler. When the verdict finding Mrs. Sayler guilty was read, she threw herself into the arms of her daughter, who sat beside her and sobbed conclusively. Mrs. Miller clung weepingly to her husband and he clasped her to him. Attorney P. P. Morris made the formal motion for a new trial for the prisoners. State's Attorney Jno. P. Pallissard agreed to the setting of the motion for argument April 30. For the first time since he was arrested, Dr. Miller felt the grip of handcuffs as he was taken from the . .. I court room to the county jail after an affectionate farewell to his wife. Mrs. Sayler, somewhat reccovered from her emotion, walked unshackled to the cell which has been her home for many months. John Gruriden, with squared shoulders, went from the court house a free man. The crime for which the defendants, I)r. Miller and Mrs. Sayler, w~~? found guilty was the slaying ot .J. 13. Sayler in the parlor of his home. The State in the trial brought out much evidence concerning alleged intimacy of Mrs. Sayler and Dr. Miller and scoffled at the plea of self-defense advanced together with the story of the defendants that Mr. Sayler precipitated his death by attacking Dr. Miller with a hatchet without prevocation. RIDDLED WITH BULLETS. Negro Who Loaned Another a Pistol to Murder a Man. The body of Stuart Holland, brother-in-law of John Seay, a negro, who is in the county jail for the shooting of James Armstrong, the time keeper of the Tennessee Company, at Tshkooda, Ala., Saturday afternoon, was found in the woods near that place riddled with bullets. Holland advised Seay to shoot Armstrong, it is said, and loaned him the revolver with which the crime was committed. Another negro who did considerable talking after the shooting of Armstrong, was taken into the woods of the night of Holland's death, stripped of his cloth! ? fy /\\re* ! a 1 f t rr n Y1 fl wllinilPll. 1U?), UllVyf\IVyU V 7 VI l?

' isltion ler jSt WAXES WROTH Speaker Canoon Gets Mad Because Refused an Automobile and ARIISFS INSURANTS IJecause Those "Outlawed" Rcpuhlicans Joined the Democrats in Voting Against Appropriation for Expense of Autos for the Speaker and Vice-President Recently. Old man Joe Cannon is mad, very mad, again A Washington dispatch says, almost the entire "Insurgent" strength of the House was joined with the Democrats on Friday in what was generally acknowledged to be an additional rebuke to Speaker Cannon. A conference report on the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill contained an agreement to appropriate for the expense of automobiles previously provide^ for Speaker Cannon and vice-President Sherman. The House reiterated its disapproval of these expenditures and - ? + 44 X- 1 o O Dy a vote 01 111 10 jo<s, uscvi agree to the preport, sending it back to the conferees for further consideration. After this action had been taken Mr. Cannon, leaving the chair, went to the Republican side of the House and there delivered a speech that contained much of sarcasm and invective. He again defied the "Insurgents" and intimated that they lacked courage to join with the solid minority in deposing him. Encouraging his Republican colleagues and admonishing the Democrats, he declared he believed a Republican majo, .i.v would be returned in the coming election. Minority Header Clark made a speech, in which he insisted that if given an opportunity the Democrats would endeavor to realize the sug gestion of Senator Aldrich that the expenses of the Government might he curtailed to the extent of $.'100,000,000 annually. Mr. Sims of Tennessee was among the leaders in opposing the appropriations for automobiles for the Speaker or the Vice President to the daring it cost $20 daily to bring the Speaker of the Vice resident to the Capitol. With intense interest the roll call was listened to in order to determine how the insurgents were voting, as it was realized their attitude would settle the outcome. The result was soon forseen and the announcement provoked applause on the Democratic side. Then Mr. Mann, of Illinois, arose and said in sarcastic tones, that "this is more than child's play." "If this is a Democratic leadership," added Hr. Mann, "I hope to be delivered from it in the future." You will," came from a score of Democratic members. Minority Leader Champ Clarke gave the House a statement of his purpose to work for economy, whether that was denominated 'Child's play or anything else." ; Mr. Clarke said he would come to Con press if there were 110 salary attached to the oftlce. "If we ever get posession of the Government," he said, addressing his colleagues, "I propose to make good Senator Aldrich's declaration that this government can be run for $300,000,000 less per year than it now costs." Speaker Cannon then requested Mr. Mann, of Illinois, to take the chair, after which he addressed the House. He abused the insurgents roundly. It was evident that the old fellow felt sore over being denied the appropriation for operating his automobile. . Killed by Slate.

Losing' the control of a Curtiss biplane at Memphis, Tcnn., which he was operating at a height of 7T> feet, J. C. Mars plunged downward with terrific speed into the intield of the aviation course there late Tuesday. alighting on top cf a touring automobile, in which were seated three women and two children. The canopy top over the touring car saved the lives of its occupants, only one of whom was slightly injured. The biplane smashed into bits and Mars was caught tinder the wrecaage, but escaped with slight injuries. The accident brought to a close Memphis' first aviation meet in a thrilling manner. Thousands of people followed the aviator in his flight across the mile course, saw his machine caught in a sudden gust of wind, spin around like a top to an angle right of the line of his original course and then plunge downward. Its flight was too quick for the occupants of the car to jump and they huddled on the floor of the tonneau. The biplane struck squarely on the engine hood of the automobile and then crumpled over on the canopy top. Mars had shut off his engine when I he aeroplane started down and in a few moments scores of spectators were dragging the wreckage from the automobile, first taking out Mars and then the occupants of the touring car. A few minutes after the accident J Mars explained it by saying that his airship was swung arouiiu m ? gust of wind striking him at right angles and causing him to descend. He said he would have landed safely if he had had a clear field. IMsars' first public flight was made | at the Memphis meet and Tuesday he carried off the honors by his high flights, skill and daring. He also succeeded in equalling Curtiss' quick start record of 5 4-5 seconds. Only short flights were attempted by Curtiss and Mars owing to the weather conditions. OIL OF JOY AS CX)AL OIL. Barrel of Booze Seized Bearing that Brand. Whiskey is sometimes called the "oil of joy", but it is selodm that it figures as coal oil. A case of this sort has just arisen, however, at the little town of Hamlet, N. O., where the United States revenue officers have just laid bare an ingenuous fraud. A barrel which came to Hamlet marked "coal oil" was found to contain a smaller barrel of whiskey. The larger receptacle of the two had a 50 gollon capacity and that containing the ardent spirits a 2 0 five gallon capacity. Of course, the scheme was designed primarily to evade the prohibition laws of North Carolina, but it is also violates one of the United States statutes as to the shipment of whiskey. ItKMOVK TAIJLE KNIFE. From Stomach of an Insane Woman Ol II., Seventeen physicians of Los Angeles, Cal., assisted at an operation recently for the removal of a table knife, nine inches long, from the stomach of Mrs. Sarah Carlson, an insane woman. The operation was successful and Mrs. Carlson is recovering. The knife had been in the stomach of the woman for several hours before the physicians could be induced to believe that the woman, who told of having swallowed it, was not joking about the matter. Killed Her llushand. A quarrel at Pittsburg, Kan., on Monday, said to have been started over a woman terminated in Mrs. Walter Caldwell killing her husband. According to Mrs. Caldwell, seh saw her husband on a street with another woman. When he came home she upbraided him. Mrs. Caldwell surrendered. She will plead self-defense. How to See tlie Comet.

Says the Rough t Rider Has Ham boo* /led the Public I?ng Enough and tl.. I?? ??<I1 1 HI' iM lint *#C "All this hurrah about Roosevelt and the manifest effort to make him a presidential factor irritates me so that I do not like to discuss it," said Senator Tillman, as he was leaving Atlanta for a visit to his home on Wednesday. "I think the idea of Roosevelt ty'* 'coming a candidate for the presidency or an important factor in straightening out the Republican party is absurd. In the first place, Taft would be more than human if he did want vindication and a second term. "His alliance with Aidrich and the money powers will insure him the support of Wall street, whose captains of finance would give up millions to encompass the defeat of Roosevelt. "In the second place, the idea of t?r?.nsovplt strniehtonina out the Re publican party is absurd. "Ho is not so clean and straight himself. He has bamboozled the public time and time again. "Roosevelt is the creation of the newspeprrs and little else. They lent themselves to his making in the most remarkable manner this country has ever known. No, I do not think Roosevelt can be resurrected. What will be his future? That is hard to forecast. Doubtless he will have to adjust himself to the -dllculties of private citizenship. "This will be hard, and it will be a pretty physchological study for the country to watch. Hut others have had to tackle it, and why not Roosevelt ?" Points Regarding the Census. The census begins April 15th and must he completed in two weeks in cities and in thirty days in all other areas. The enumerators will wear a badge inscribed "United States Census. ! 1 910." The law requires every adult person to furnish the prescribed information, but also provides that it shall be treated oonfidentially, so no injury can come to any person from answering the questions. The President 'has issued a proclamation, calling on all citizens to cooperate with the Census and assuring them that it has nothing to do with taxation, army or jury service, compulsory school attendance, ii'gulation or immigration, or enforcement of any law, and that no one can be injured by answering the inquiries. It is of the utmost importance that the census of population and agriculture in this state be complete and correct. Therefore every person should promptly, accurately and completely answer the Census questions asked by the enumerators. Some Plan Needed. Tt may be more euphonious and perhaps more politic to call the present cessation of work by the bituminous coal mines a suspension instead of a strike.

Of course, as in all such disputes the public will suffer by being ground between the upper and nether millstones of capital and labor. This is bound to happen and so will the eauses that bring this condition about until some more just and satisfflrtorv relation is nstnK lished between employer .and employee. Whether or not it shall be profit sharing, or copartnery, as is now being tried in some English establishments, or some other system, it is not possible as yet to toll. Hut certain it is that so long as the present crude and unsatisfactory method continues just so long may we look for strikes and lockouts. Hobson wants a big navy so as we can make a big display on tkc Pacific. The farmers, who makes his money 'hoeing catton and corn are oeposed to such grand stand plays. I
