Given by I). A. It. State Chapter.
Crownring a period of gayeties and
pleasure almost unexampled in the
history of Charleston, the most important
event of "battleship week"
took place at noon Tuesday at the
academy of music when Governor

F. Fechteler, of the battleship South

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

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.
The Mascot, a game cock of the
famous South Carolina strain, who
distinguished himself by killing
another cock which accidentally entered
his enclosure, was presented
by the Mayor to the crew of the
battleship.

NOTED TRIAL ENDEd
DR. 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.

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!

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.

AIRSHIP HITS AUTO
AVIATOR AT MEMPHIS MEETS
WITH ACCIDENT.
Loses Control of Ciiru'ss lliplunc and
Plunges With Terrific Force to
Eurth.
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.
If yo.i will get up just before sunHsn
or thereabouts, you will got a
glimpse of Halley's Comet in the eastern
sky. It will rise earlier each
morning until April 18, when it will
he visible for two hours and a half
before sunrise. After May 18, we
won't have to loose any more beauty
sleep to see it, as it will he visible
in the western sky after sunset.
Will Sec Comet Twice.
Nine inmates of two institutions
for the care of the aged and infirm
in Savannah, Ca., have lived to an
age when within the next few weeks
they will have twice witnessed the
appearance of the same comet in
this planetary pvptem after an interval
of three-quarters of a century.

SENATOR TIIiUMAN GIVES HIM
A GOOD ROAST.
Says the Rough t Rider Has Ham boo*

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

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. But if it long
continues the poverty, and dlstresss
will not be less, and the losses to '

disputes the public will suffer by
being ground between the upper and

Whether or not it shall be

or some other system,
it is not possible as yet to toll. Hut
certain it is that so long as the

we look for strikes and lockouts.
