in Nearly All the Lines of
Small Industries in the State.
Statistics prepared by E. J. Watcon,
commissioner of agriculture,
- commerce and industries, Indicate
{that the amount invested in industrial
enterprises in South Carolina during
1911 was $3,535,058 in excess of the
capital invested for the same period
in 1910. |
One of the results of the tomato
clubs is shown by an increase of
$13t,3 4 0 invested in canneries. The
investments in canneries during 1911
reach $214,190 for this growing industry.
r The manufacture of clothing Is an
other growing industry, and tnere
was $350,500 capital invested in sucli
enterprises in 1911. The figures for
l 1910 were $88,800.
* Electrical development in South
Carolina continued during 1911 and j
the expenditures for such enterprises ,
represents $28,930,326 for the year. .
The capital invested during 1910 in
Bimilar plants was $24,155,147. ,
Another industry that has attracted ]
Investors in South Carolina is furniture
manufacturing. In some locali- <
ties of the State there is an abundance <
of hardwood timber and other suita- ;
bio timber used in the manufacture j
of furniture. There was $360,000 invested
in this enterprise during 1911. 1
During the year there has been no ]
abatement by enterprising manufac- \
turers in their investments for many ]
of the leading industries, among them 1
being fertilizers, flour and grist mills,
foundries, carriages, bakery products
f .and brick1 products.
This table showing value of products
from these industrial enter(prises
for 1911 as compared with
1910, indicates that there has been a
Wealthy increase in the value of most
lines.
One of the notable exceptions is a
decrease in the amount of coflins and
caskets manufactured in South Carolina
during 1911 as compared with
^ 1910. The natural conclusion is that
this condition Is due to a decreased
mortality in this State during 1911.
At any rate, more favorable conditions
are known to exist.
The increase in value of fertilizer
products over the previous year represents
about $2,000,000. The canning
industry shows an increase of a.ly
most 100 per cent.
South Carolina, as Indicated by this
report, is rapidly assuming the position
the State deserves In its ratio of
industrial enterprises actively investing
and the value of t.heir manufactured
products. The climate of the
tState is particularly adapted for employes
in manufacturing lines, and
there has been no complaint as to any
h considerable scarcity of intelligent
and desirable labor.

TERRIBLE NEGLECT
CAUSE MANY CHILDREN TO DIE
DURING VOYAGE.
Owners of the Ship Fined Heavily
by Acting Secretary of Commerce
and Labor.
Charged with the worst case of
neglect of steerage passengers on re3ord
under the passenger act of 1882,
the owners of the British steamer
Oteric have been fined $7,800 by Acting
Secretary Cable of the Department
of Commerce and Labor.
Among the 1,242 passengers there
were in the eight weeks of her voyage
58 deaths, 57 being children;
the births number 14; the sexes were
not properly segregated during the
larger part of the time, the ventilation
of the ship was inadequate and
greatly increased the mortality rate;
the hospital facilities were ill-ventilated
and without proper equipment,
wlille the sanitary conditions or the
vessel were almost beyond relief.
Acting Secretary Cable, after giving
ample opportunity for the ship's
agents to make a defense, directed
that the full penalties be imposed.
The case has been pending before
the department since the arrival of
the Oteric at Ilonalulu April 13 last,
where the collector of customs, who
acts in behalf of the bureau of navigation,
immediately discovered the
unlawful conditions.
The vessel is not regularly engaged
In the steerage business, but was
specially engaged to carry Portugese
and Spanish immigrants through
Magellan Straits to Honolulu. The
ship was allowed to clear upon depositing
a bond of $15,000.
Owiner to the ereat number of
deaths the grand jury, which was in
session at the time, went on board
md made an examination of the vessel.
They found the system of ventilation
insuflicient; the port holes did
not admit sufficient air, and notwithstanding
that there was an electric
light plant on board, no electric fans
*vere provided. They reported that
this lack of ventilation contributed
:o the large mortality during the voyigo;
when severe weather necessitated
closing the portholes and hatches
the rate of mortality increased.
The hospitals were found wholly
Linflt for the purpose for which they
pvere provided; the ventilation was
poor and the space allotted to them
ivas too small.
There were 14 births on the voyige,
but the compartments used as
lying In hospitals were wholly inadsquate
in every respect, and in some
nstances it was found that even or
iinary conveniences were not providid
for the inmates. The laws reladres
to cleanliness were violated in a
nanner which could not be too
jtrongly condemned.
The master of the vessel, James
Findlay, attempted to explain the exsting
conditions by stating that
ibout ten days after leaving GibraJ;ar
there was a riot between the Por;ugese
and Spanish male passengers,
'esulting in a pitched battle with
tnives, clubs, cleavers and pistols,
ro prevent further trouble the Por;ugese
passengers were placed aft,
vhile the Spanish passengers were
)ut in the forward part of the veslel.
This resulted in the co-mingling
)f the sexes.
THINK THEY HAVE BANDITS.
Hen Arrested in Savannah Said to be
Train Robbers.
A Washington letter to The State
;ays it is understood there that the
)ostofllc? department thinks that the
wo men now held at Savannah?Hill
md Eckestrom?for robbing an Atantic
Coast Line train at Ilardeedlle,
S. C., last week and making way
vith a considerable amount of regstered
mail matter, are old hands at
he business and that the Hardeeille
holdup is only one of many.
Vhile tho department will not say
vhat information it has on the subect,
it is believed that Robert G.
Sharp, chief postofllce inspector, with
i good knowledge of practically all
he train crooks and robbers now plyng
their trade in this country, feels
atisfled that Hill and Eckstrom are
he men responsible for the Coast
dno holdup. A daring robbery reently
occurred in Arkansas, and it
s now believed that Hill and Ecketrom
were implicated in it.

TAFf ON WOOL
Says Pretest Tariff Dalies Bart Fareip
Weolen Gtedt and Yaras
FROM UNITED STATES
Material Reduction Urged by the
President in Message Transmitted
to Congress With the Long Awaited
TariiT Hoard Report on Woolen
Schedule.
Ti 1 -1 i. * a Anntvoaao
X'I't!?IUCIH J. ULl DCUb IW WUfel boo
Wednesday the long awaited report
of the tariff board on schedule K of
the Payne tariff act, and with it a
message recommending that the rates
on wool and woolens be materially reduced.
The report shows that the
existing duties on many classes of
?rool and wool manufacturers are prohibitory
and greatly in excess of the
d'fference in the cost of production
here and abroad. The duties are so
arranged as to keep out of the United
States entirely wools of finer qualities,
which if imported might be used
to displace the cheap substitutes now
employed.
President Talt calls attention to
theso points and urges that a revision
of tho schedule be proceeded with at
once. He characterizes the report of
the tariff board as the most complete
and exhaustive statement of a ditficult
and complicated subject ever presented
to a legislative body. He declares
it a monument to the thor
oughness, industry, impartiality and
accuracy of the men engaged in its
making. He also dwells with emphasis
upon the fact that the report
is a unanimous one and asserts the
belief that it will convince all of the
wisdom of making the tariff board
permanent.
The President says "the report
shows that the present method of assessing
the duty on raw wool?that
is, by a specific rate, the grease pound
(i. e. unscoured) operates to exclude
wools of high shrinkage in scouring,
but fine quality, from the American
market and thereby lessens the range
of wools available to the domestic
4 * U _ nn
1 1 (l 11 U i etc 1111 ci , iiiai IL1V UUIJ un
scoured wool of 3S centB per pound
in prohibitory and operates to exclude
the importation of clean, low priced
foreign wools of inferior grades
which are nevertheless valuable material
for manufacturing and which
can not be imported in the grease because
of their heavy shrinkage. Such
wools, if imported, might be used to
displace the cheap subs now in use.
"To make the preceding paragraph
a little plainer, take the instance of
a hundred pounds of first class wool
imported under the present duty
which is 11 cents a pound. That
would make the duty on the hundred
pounds $11. The merchantable part
of the wool thus imported is the
weight of the wool of this hundred
pounds after scouring. If the wool
shrinks 8 0 per cent, as some wools
do, then the duty in such a case
would amount to $11 on twenty
pounds of scoured wool. This, of
course, would be prohibitory. If the
wool shrinks only 50 per cent it
would be $11 on fifty pounds of wool
and this is near to the average of the
great bulk of wools that are imported
from Australia, which is the principal
source of our imported wools.
"These discriminations could be
overcome by assessing a duty in ad
valorem terms but this method is
open to the objection, first that it
increase administrative difficulties
and tends to decrease revenue
through undervaluations; and second,
that as prices advance the ad
valorem rate increases the duty per
pound at the time when the consumer
most needs relief and the producer
can best stand competition;
while if prices decline the duty is decreased
at tho time when the consumer
is least burdened by the price
and the producer most needs protection.
Another Method.
"Another method of meeting the
difllculty of taxing tho grease pound
is to assess a specific duty 011 grease
wool in terms of its scoured content.
This obviates tho chief evil of the
present system, namely, the discrimination
due to different shrinkages
and thereby tends greatly to equalize
the duty. Tho board reports that this
method is feasible in practico and
could bo administered without great
exepsne. Tho scoured content of the
wool is the basis on which users of
wnnl mnlro tVinir r>n IpiiI q Unti a nnd n
duty of this kind would fit the
usages of the trade. One effect of
this method of assessment would bo
that, regardless of tho rate of duty,
there would be an increase in the
supply and variety of wool by making
available to tho American market
wools of both low and fine quality
now excluded.
"The report shows in detail tho
difficulties involved in attempting to
state in categorical terms tho cost
of wool production and the great differencies
in cost as between different
regions and different types of wool.
It is found, however, that taking all
varieties In account, the average cost
in the chief competing country by an
amount somewhat less than the present
duty.
"The report shows that duties on
oils, wool wastes and shoddy, which

Action Grows Out of Investigation of
the Death of Guy Rogers and Prentiss

A dispatch from Bennettsville says
the arrest there Thursday of Joe

charged with the murder of tw#
white boys, Guy Rogers and Prentiss
Moore, on November 24, 1910, came
as a surprise and sensation to many.
It is understood that negro detec/Nr.

[ for several mouths and that they
have secured strong testimony.
Those who know of the detectives
in this case say that there is strong
evidence against Joe Malloy as principal
and Charlotte Easterling as accessory.
Guy Rogers and Prentiss Moore left
their homes in Bcnnettsville, on a
hunting trip Thanksgiving day, November
24, 1910. They failed to return
to their homes that evening, and
searching parties were organized.
For two or three days the river
swamp was searched and finally the
bodies of the two boys were found in
a ditch in an open field very near
Charlotte Easterling's house.
The coroners jury deliberated several
days and finally returned a verdict
that the boys came to their death
from gunshot wounds inflicted in a
manner unknown to the jury. There
were many who suspected Joe Malloy
at that time.
Three theories were advanced to
explain the mystery. One was murder;
one accidental shooting of Prentiss
Moore by Guy Rogers and then
suicide on the part of Guy Rogers;

are adjusted to the rate of 33 cents
on scoured wool, are prohibitory in
the same measure that the duty on
secured wool is prohibitory. In general,
they are assessed at rates as
high as, or higher than, the duties
paid on the clean wools actually imported.
They should be reduced and
so adjusted to the rate on wool as to
bear their proper proportion to the
real rate levied on the actual wool
imports.
"The duties on many classes of
wool manufacture are prohibitory
and greatly in excess of the difference
in cost of production here and
abroad.
"This is true of tops, of yarns
(with the exception of worsted yarns
of a very high grade) and of low
and medium grade cloth of heavy
weight.
"On tops up to 52 cents a pound
in value, and on yarns of 65 cents
in value, the rate is 100 per cent
with correspondingly higher rates for
lower values. On cheap and medium
grade cloths the existing rates frequently
run to J 50 per cent and on
some cheap goods to over 2 00 per
cent. This is largely due to that
part of the duty which is levied ostensibly
to compensate the manufacturer
for the enhanced cost of his
raw material due to the duty on
wool. As a matter of fact-this compensatory
duty for numerous classes
of goods is much in excess of the
amount needed for strict compensation.
un uie ouior nana tne nnaings
sliow tliat the duties which run to
such high adva.lorem equivalents are
prohibitory since the goods are not
imported, but that the prices of domestic
fabrics are not raised by the
full amount of duty. On a set of
one yard samples of 1 G English fabrics,
which are completely excluded
by the present tariff rates, it was
found the total foreign value was
$41.84; the duties which would have
been assessed had tbeso fabrics been
imported $76.90; the foreign value
plus the amount of the duty $118.74;
for a nominal duty of 183 per cent.
In fact, however, practical Identical
fabrics of domestic make sold at the
same time at $69.75, showing an enhanced
price over the foreign market
value of but 67 per cent.
"Although those duties do not Increase
prices of domestic goods by
anything like their full amount, it is
none the less true that such prohibitive

of foreign competition, even in time
of scarcity; that they form a temptation
to monopoly and conspiracies to
control domestic prices; that they are

and that they should he reduced to a
point which accords with this principle.
"The findings of the board show
that in this industry the actual manufacturing
cost, aside from tho question
of the pric eof materials, is much
hiirher in this countrv than it is
abroad; that in the making or yarn

worsted manufacturer has in general
no advantage from the form of superior

County AVorks.?Offences From
Noii-Support of Family to Murder.
Thirty persons held in the South
Carolina penitentiary and in the
county jail received their liberty Saturday
at the hands of the governor
of South Carolina when a?record for
pardons and paroles was made, says
the State. /
Briefly stated, there were 11 lifetime
prisoners freed. Nine of these
prisoners were convicted on a charge
of murder. One was convicted 011 the
charge of burglary and larceny, and
the other 011 a charge of arson. Seven
were convicted 011 a charge of
manslaughter, the sentences ranging
from live to 25 years. Several had
been convicted 011 minor charges, and
one was pardoned to restored citizenship.
Viewing the act of the governor
from an economic standpoint, and
considering the pardon record for a
day made possible by the constitution
of the State, it means that this State
was deprived of the service of convicts
aggregating 23 9 years. This is
for unexpired terms. The estimate
is made upon an average of 2 0 years
for a lifetime prisoner. The average
length of service is probably longer.
A liberal estimate of the value received
by the State for the service of
a convict for one year is $100, which
would make a total of $23,900 lost
in labor.
There was clemency granted in 30
cases. Legal statisticians have estimated
that it costs about $5 00 to convict
a prisoner in this Stale. This
would mean an additional $15,000
court expenses incurred. Taking the
sum total of the expenses and value
to State, the governor expended $3 8,900.
Of the 11 lifetime prisoners to receive
clemency at the hands of the
governor, Samuel Ree, the Chester
county wife slayer, is probably the
most known than many others. He
was convicted in November, 1899, for
Killing ins wire wnno sne siept in ins
home. The case at the time attracted
a great deal of attention, and
public sentiment was against the
man. He has served 12 years of a
life term. The parole was granted
during good behavior.
The papers granting the clemency
to the prisoners were made up in the
governor's office Saturday morning
and sent to the secretary of state's office,
where it required imoro than one
hour to affix the great seal of the
State. The papers were then sent to
the penitentiary and there was a general
exodus of prisoners.
The governor of South Carolina assumed
oflice on January 17, and since
that time he has granted celmency in
317 cases, which are as follows:
Pardons .13 7
Paroles.. ....... .. ... ...ISO
Total 317
Taking the estimate of statisticians
of $500 for a conviction, this means
that this feature of the clemency record
has cost South Carolina $158,500.
'The governor, soon after entering
office, dispensed with the State board
of pardons, and announced that in
the future ho would decide all cases
presented for celemency.

Wreck Was Caused by a Broken Rail.
?-Several From Thip State Are

Forty-one persona were injured
Saturday night in the wreck of train
No. 3 8 of the Seabord Air line, near
Gloster, Ga. The wires to the scene
were torn down and it was not until
Sounday morning that details of the
derailment became known. None of
the injured will die, according to
railroad ollicials. Gloster is 25 miles
northeast of Atlanta.
The train left Atlanta at 8:35
o'clock for Washington. It was going
4 0 miles an hour when near the
Gloster station it struck a broken
rail. The engine and several cara
went over safely but a Pullman and
one first-class passenger car left the
roadbed and went into a ditch.
The injured were in these two>
cars. Their hurts consist of cuts and
bruises. If there had been more serious
consequences the rairoad would
have had difficulty in caring for the
victims, as the surrounding country
is sparsely settled and few if any
doctors were at hand.
A train with physicians and wrecking
.apparatus was dispatched from
Howell's station. The tracks wero
cleared by daylight. (Most of tho
