The Washington correspondent of
The Columbia State says an analysis
of the row in the Senate over the
election of a president pro tempore
has given special emphasis to the
growing division among the senate
Republicans.
One thing after another is widening
the breach among them and there
is no sign whatever that it will be
closed. The old guard leaders on
k the Republican side and the progressives
are getting further and further
apart. The feeling between the two
factions moreover is getting intense.
L Not a few political observers be
lieve that in the split now on there
is the forerunner of grave trouble
in the Republican party in 1912. If
^ such trouble does materialize it will
materialize at the Republican convention.
Those who believe a third
party is coming believe the beginning
of it is now being fashioned in the
|l senate in the struggles of the old
guard and the progressives.
^ Senator Gallinger, nominated in a
Republican caucus for president pro
tempore, might, under the circumstances
that used to obtain in the
senate, he expected to get the Republican
vote, but the progressive
Republicans, with the exception of
forr?Borah, Brown, Kenyon and
Dixon?did not go into the caucus
r ami did not therefore vote for Senator
Gallinger. They consider
themselves in no way bound to support
Senator Clapp, one of their own
mini ber.
L The split comes after two years
? of constant factional fighting. Of
course there were forerunners of
trouble before the last special session
on the tariff, but when that session
was held the differences between
the regulars and insurgents
became acute. In the seven ballots
icast In the senate on the question
four insurgents voted steadily for
Clapp. They were Bristow, LaFollctte,
Gronna and Poindexter. Had
they been present, Senators Cumin
ings, Bourne, Crawford and Works
would have voted for Clapp.
'enator Bacon, Democrat, got 3 5
votes as his highest number. The
highest Senator Gallinger got was
32. Clapp got four vote& and the
others were scattering. Senator
Bacon narrowly escaped election but
he did not quite get a majority of
f those present and voting. A few
changes, it is true, would throw the
election to Gallinger, but it is a
question whether any such changes
will occur.
In the first place Senator Gallinger
is recognized as one of the leading
conservatives of the senate old
guard. The conservatives charge
4 him with being strongly reactionary.
Th?v are fighting not Gallinger persoirtlly,
but the things he Is standing
for. They insist that a man of more
liberal views ought to be in the chair

SAYS PROHIBITION A FAltCK.
Judge Points Out How Ridiculous Is
the Restriction.
discharging his petit jury, following
five acquittals of saloonists
charged with retailing liquor, Judge
Henry C. Hammond, of the superior
court, at Augusta, Ga., commenting
from the bench, presented facts to
show that despite the prohibition
4 law in Georgia, the people want the
liquor, the state licenses the dealer,
juries refuse to convict, and hence
tho prohibition law of the state is
a farce and a failure.
The most drastic law ever passed
for state-wide prohibition was enacted
in Georgia, the experiment was
tried, the state treasury felt the loss
of revenue, a gentlo breeze opposed
to prohibition sprang up, the
state granted license to saloons to
deal in any "beverage, drink or
liquor in initation" of the former alcoholic
drinks, summarizes the facts
he offers.
The judge then asks what scientist
has ever discovered any drink
in "imitation" of alcoholic beverages.
Concluding, the court declared
that he expressed no personal
opinion; "such would bo out of
place," but that he was merely presenting
a few simple facts. *

STONEWALl JACKSON
ANNIVERSARY' OF THE HEATH
OF THE GREAT SOLDIER.
Had He Lived the South Would Have
. .Won in the War Thinks a Northern
Preacher.
Forty-eight years ago May 10,
1863, the telegraph wires were bearing
in all directions the omnlous
message, "Stonewall Jackson Is
dead." On that day the great battle
winner died of wounds received

crowning victory at Chancellorsville.
In speaking of the said event the
Rev. T. B. Gregory in the New York
Ajmerican says:
That May day was, in the strictest
sense of the word, a day of fate. It
settled things. It was a day teeming
with destiny. One of the dead
general's old chaplains is said to
have exclaimed, in the course of a
sermon delivered soon after the war,
"When it pleased God to decree that
the cause of the Confederacy should
lose, He called unto Himself His
servant, Stonewall Jackson, in order
that His will might be carried out."
There are many people North
and South who believe that it was
that 10th of May, 186J, that settled
4 1* Innn A ^ 9 f h a rr?*AO n/\ti fllof \\ n _
lilt" msuo Ul L11U f^lVUI, 11 11 ILL uctweon
the States. Gen. Lee repeatedly
declared that had Jackson lived
and been with him at Gettysburg he
would have won that battle, and
many of the survivors of that battle
of the Union side are of Lee's opinion.
In war, as the great Napoleon declared,
"men are nothing; the man
is everything." What Napoleon
meant was this, that when it comes
to winning battles the important
thing is not the number of the rank
and file, but the military genius of
the men who commands the rank
and file. Over and over again, from
Alexander and Caesar down to Marlborough
and Von Moltke, has this
truth been proven?that it is the
man and not the men who win battles
and decide campaigns.
While Jackson lived the North
made no appreciable headway, notwithstanding
its superior numbers
in the field. When Jackson fell at
Chancellorpville gold was at its highest
premium; Europe was almost on
the point of recognizing the Confederacy;
the war spirit north of the
Potomac was rapidly growing cold,
and the South, full of the gaudium
certamines, felt sure of winning its
fight.
Jackson fell in the Virginia wilderness,
shot through mistake by his
own men, lingered on for eight days,
and died, and all was changed. The
Confederacy never struck twelve
again. There were no more Chancellorsville,
no more first and second
Bull Runs, 110 more Cedar Mountains
and Fredericksburg. Lee's

genius who had stood by him to execute
his orders with tlie speed of
the lightning, was no more; and history,
traced out in the shape of a
diagram, shows that from the day of
Jackson's death the line representing
the Confederacy began to dip toward
the nadir.
A remarkable man was Stonewall
Jackson?a fanatic and the coolest
of reasoners; stern and yet a perfect
gentleman; remorseless In battle
as a juggernaut, yet brimful or
tenderness and loye; one day an obscure
professor in a "one horse"
Virginia institute, the next immortal
as Caesar, as .^Napoleon, to be known
forever as one of the supreme military
geniuses of the world.
It is true that North and South
are to-day both happy in the fact
that they are together again in the
old Union, and it is more than probable
that their happiness is all owing
to the fact that on May 10, 18G3,
God "called unto Himself His servant,
Stonewall Jackson." *

The identification was by men who
reached the wreck in small boats.
The Queen, loaded with oil in barrels,

SINKS AT SEA

ALL ABOARD WAS SAVED
With Three Hundred and Nineteen
Souls on Hoard, the Ward Liner
Merida Is Struck During a Fog
by the Fruit Steamer Admiral
Farragut Off Cap? Charles.
A near-tragedy of the sea, filled
with many thrilling narratives of human
rescue and escape, occurred off
the Virginia coast early Friday morning,
when the splendid Ward Line
steamer Merida, bound from Havana,
Cuba, for New York, with 319 souls
on board, sank in thirty-five fathoms
of water, fifty-five miles northeast
of Cape Charles, after she had been
rammed by the fruit steamer Admiral
Farragut, bound from Philadelphia
for Port Antonio.
Every person aboard the Merida
was rescued, and but one was injured,
a woman who occupied a room
immediately next to where the Farragut
struck the Merida.
The Merida was struck by the
Farragut during a dense fog at 2:30
A. M., and in five hours was at the
bottom of the ocean, but with her
passengers and crew safely aboard
the Admiral Farragut.
Py wireless the Old Dominion
Steamsnip company 8 steamer Hamilton,
bound from New York to Norfolk,
was summoned to the scene,
and took aboard the rescued passengers
and crew. They were landed
in Norfolk at seven o'clock Friday
night.
The Admiral Farragut, which carried
hut one passenger, proceeded for
tho Deleware Breakwater, under
convoy of the United States battleship
Iowa, which answered the wireless
appeals for assistance, and which
was standing by the Farragut when
the steamer Hamilton left with the
rescued passengers for Norfolk.
When rammed, the Merida staggered
away, and It was feared for a
while that the Farragut would also
he lost. Wireless Operator Leach
sent out his appeals for assistance.
Meanwhile the passengers and crew
were being transferred from the sinking
Merida to the Admiral Farragut.
One passenger, Perry T. Benton,
proved himself one of the real heroes
of the hour. Benton is an export
engineer, and it was largely through
his assistance and knowledge of machinery
that the wireless apparatus
on the Farragut had been
broken by the shock of
collision, and allowed the calls to be
sent for help.
This was heard by the Old Dominion
liner Hamilton, who at once sent
an encouraging reply.
The Iowa and the Hamilton began
racing to the scene. The Hamilton
won. It was a few minutes after 8
o'clock when the Hamilton sighted
the Farragut, and in half an hour
was close enough to send out life
boats. The 319 souls were transferred
from the Farragut to the Hamilton
in just two hours. The sea
was calm and the work of rescue,
except for the fog and darkness, was
easy.
The Merida was 417 feet long, 50
feet beam, 3 5 feetdeep, with a displacement
of about 10,000 tons. The
vessel was only about five years old.
Its tonnage was 6,200.
The passengers for the most part
escaped only in the clothes they were
able to get on their backs and some
left but scantily clad.
Frank G. Conling, an importer of
New York, said he desired to enter a
strong protest against the action of
officers of the Merida. He asserted
that they told the passengers to go
back to their state rooms when the
ship was in imminent danger of sinking,
and all but the captain, quartermaster
and first officer took to the
life boats ahead of even women and
children passengers. *
KILLS HIS LITTLE CHILD.
? ...
Clear Cose of Criminal Clarclessness
on Father's Part.
A case of the worse kind of criminal
carelessness took place a few
days ago in Lancaster county, when
Kireod Knight, a farmer living at
White Hluff, accidentally killed his
3-year-old child. Knight was repairing
an automatic gun and after
repairing it put a number of shells in
the gun. The weapon not working
satisfactorily, he removed the shells,
as nc tnougnt, ana snapped me gun;
Its was discharged, the result being
that the top of the child's head was
blown off, death being Instantaneous.
The coroner's jury rendered a verdict
of accidental killing. *
Glanders Under Quarentlne,
The health authorities of Washington,
D. C., have in quarantine E.
M. C. Combs, a farmer of Stafford
Count, Virginia, who is not expected
to survive an attack of glanders. The
disease is highly contagious and almost
invariably fatal. Combs contracted
the disease two weeks ago
when operating on a calf. The disease
already has caused him to be
totally blind and his death is expected
at any time.
WUX MEET SOON
RURAL MAIL CARRIERS URGED
TO GET TOGETHER.
The Service Will be Improved by
Cooperative (Methods on the Part
of the Carriers.
Thos, E. Wicker, president of the
Rural Free Delivery Carriers' Association
of South Carolina, has issued
an address to the carriers of this
State, urging increased interest in
the organization. Mr. Wicker, in
his address, says:
"Brother Rural Carriers of South
Carolina: Below you will find
a list of rural carriers whom I have
appointed special organizers for their
respective counties. See if your name
is on the list, and if it is, then go to
work with a vim for your county association;
of it is not, then write your
county organizer at once and tell him
your services are at his command.
"In several counties I have made
no appointments because I didn't
konw who would be willing and interested
enough to undertake the
work. I should be glad to have the
names of hustlers from those counties,
so that the list of organizers
could he made complete. The appointment
of special organizers
doesn't mean that State and county
officers may become less active in
their efforts to secure members.
"The State convention at Newberry
last July was the largest and best
in the history of the association. The
question now is: Will it be excelled
by the convention at Florence next
July? What does Burch say about
it? What do we all say about it?
Our presence in goodly numbers will
mol/o If ti cncpoau' r?nr nhfipnw will
make it a failure.
"Now let us us all get busy in the
interest of our county conventions
on the 3 0th of May. Remember the
national dues as fixed at Little Rock
last year, are 75 cents, and State
dues 2 5 cents. Your county dues, if
any, are what you choose to make
them.
"Let us all join the association
for the good of the service and for
our own good. If by getting together
in conventions and exchanging
ideas, we are benefited, then, of
course, the service will be benefitted
to the same extent. The carrier who
refuses or neglects to join the association,
isolates himself and pockets
his salary at the end of the month.
This is the sum total of his interest
in the rural mail service. The
carrier who joins the association
manifests by that very act, a desire
to learn, through the association as
a medium, the wishes of the department
officials in the conduct of the
service. He is wide-awake and more
efficient than his isolated brother,
because he is in touch with the department
and in sympathy with those
who are trying to improve tlie service.
"There may be some among us
who think that the recent salary increase
was not as large as it should
have been. From our viewpoint
perhaps it was not; but from the
viewpoint of the government it was
solely a question of economy. We
must not forget that our branch of
the service is your.g, and, in some
respects, imperfect, therefore, let us
who are in the field co-operate with
our superiors at headquarters, to the
end that the imperfections in the
service may be eliminated and that
we may become more efficient and deserving.
When these things have
been accomplished there need be no
doubt that our compensation will be
as generous as we could wish. Uncle
Sam is not stingy; but as every
good business man should be, he is
conservative.
"In 'closing, let me again urge
upon you the importance of your
presence at Florence, July 3, 4 and
5?three days. Come, whether a
member of the association or not.
Fraternally yours,
"Thomas E. Wicker,
"State President."

American side of the Rio Grande,
and is safe in the home of friends In
El Paso.
A plot, quiet, deeply laid, is suspected
by the rebel leaders as the
cause of the near-riot in front of
Madero's headquarters. It was said
to bo a scheme of Madero's enemies
to take up the organization of the
revolution in Mexico. Provisional
President iMadero, in a statement
issued Saturday, charges that Gen.
Orozco's actions were incited "by
persons interested in bringing about
disunion among us."
Early Saturday, Gen. Orozco called
on Provisional President Madero,
and the two talked alone for some
time. Only their views were announced
in part. A throng of soldiers
had gathered outside the building
and Senor Madero appealed to
them.
Six soldiers had been drawn and
rifles were levelled, but Madero stood
before the crowd and, slapping his
breast, shouted: "Shoot me! Shoot
me! if you dare!" Orozco was undecided.
His men would not fire. Madero
talked in his reassuring way,
and the affection In which he is held
came uppermost. It ended In a
mighty shout of "Viva Madero."
Many stories concerning the clash
are being circulated. Col. Villa was
said to have insisted on Gen. Navarro's
life, while Gen. Orozco also
was said to have been displeased
with the naming of a civilian as
minister of war. All is now harmony,
Senor Madero having impressed
upon Gen. Orozco that the
choosing of a cabinet and the management
of a government is quite
outside the function of the military.
Apprehension for the safety of
Gen. Navarro stirred the sympathy of
Gen. Madero after the incident, and
he determined at the risk of his own
life to save the brave federal commander.
He was whisked away in

has been staying since he was captured
and, after a brief explanation,
conveyed Gen. Navarro to the
river front, where the latter waded
the river and was soon safe on the
Amelcan side. The insurrectos were
ignorant of this move.
Navarro gave his word of honor
that he would return to Mexican soil
when required to do so by Madero. If
the feeling against Navarro among
the insurre-ctos is because of alleged
acts of cruelty, his life will be continually
in danger. Madero and his
supporters have saved Navarro from
Any harm.
Sonor iMadero gave out this ex*
planation of the trouble:
"This trouble has been caused by
persons who desire to see trouble
among: us.
"We have sufficient provisions* and
want to lay the blame for this dissension
where it belongs. We have
more than enough troops and they
are well provisioned.
"I was told that Gen. Orozco did
not like the officers whom I had
named as cabinet officials, but I told
him that I could show him where it
was for the benefit of the country
and tho general was satisfied. We
hold a long conference, at which all
things ended satisfactorily."

Finally, Mr. Hayne yelled: "I will
