Many Homes Destroyed in Different Parts of the Country and Many Cattle Killed by Trees. A total of twenty persons were killed and at least three score injured, many of them seriously, in the cyclonic storm which swept through a strip of northern Louisiana and Mississippi Tuesday evening. The property damage, according to the incomplete reports received here, will perhaps total $500,000. The fatalities, except in three instances, are confined to negroes. One white child was killed at Shreveport, Mrs. Crow, an aged white woman, was killed at Homer, La., and a white man named Timmon was killed near Ringgold, La. A dispatch from Meridian, Miss., says a destructive windstorm swept over this district Tuesday night, destroying thousands of dollars' worth of property, killing many head of cattle and demolishing homes in the surrounding country. Rev. W. T. Carroll was seriously injured when his home at Klondyke. ten miles north of Meridian, was destroyed. A dozen other residences at that place were blown down and a number of mules and cows were killed. At Baily six negro houses and four barns were destroyed. At Antioch, a church was scattered in every direction and two houses blown down. The store and home of D. J. Stinson, 2 0 miles north of Meridian, were destroyed. At Bodgett the new mill of the Sumter Lumber Company was unroofed, blown down, several negro houses wrecked and trees uprooted. The high winds, starting their violent activities with a disastrous visitation to Shreveport, La., Tuesday, Wednesday contnued their sweep over the Southwest and come on to the Atlantic, demoralizing telegraphic service in nearly all sections of the country. The climax of their velocity on 'die Atlantic coast was reached at Pensacola, Fla., where the gale attained a GO-mile an hour gait. At Austin and San Antonio, Texas, considerable damage was reported, while the entire State of Texas felt the force of the winds. A terrific wind and hail storm swept over the little town of Stamps, Ark., Tuesday night, demolishing several houses and killing cattle. No loss of life has .been reported.

The Governor Does Not Like It Rut Lets It Pass. A special message from Governoi lilease on the act to establish a State system of warehouses for the storage of cotton was among tho first mat ters to come up In the session of the general assembly Wednesday night The special message was not a vote message, however, but a message stating that after careful considera lion of the measure tlie governor hat decided to approve tho act. Tin governor expressed doubt as to tin constitutionality of tho act, hut sai< that in view of the decided majorlt; of the members of tho general as eembly who favored the bill, he ha< decided to waive liis views and ap prove the act. ? ? m Shoots Woman and Self. \At New York Mrs. Rose Sllvermai vals shot and mortally wounded Wed nesiday afternoon by a man bolievei to Benjamin Fried, an unwelcom Pdmftrer, who afterwards turned Hi weapon upon himself inflicting tw< woundV?

' | Gathering of Union Labor Men at Jiocliestor Ordered That No More 1 l 1 {ridges He IJlown Up. That the dynamiting plots were brought to the attention of certain committees at the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers' Convention in Rochester, N. Y., in 1910, came to light Monday as one of the government's charges against the 5 4 indicted men at Indianapolis. I It is charged by federal authorities j that a resolution demanding that "no , more bombs or explosives of any , kind be exploded while this conven- , tion is in session" was written out in | regular form by a delegate at the ; convention, was secretly referred to a , committee and without the action on it becoming known was later found by the government among the papers . taken from the iron workers' head- , quarters in Indianapolis. , The charge is that a delegate at the , convention, known to the govern- j ment, demanded that the explosions < temporarily be stopped at a time when many steel and iron structures | under erection by "open shop" contractors were being blown up. Addressing President Frank M. Ryan, M. S. Iloekin, vice president, and members of the executive board, had the subject brought to their atten- ( tion. , What was the real motive of the i delegate in offering the resolution was not divulged, but it is pointed out that J. J. McNamara, the convlct0,1 ^vnnmitpr ntirl Ortie F. McMani gal were on their way from Indianapolis to Rochester, when, according to McManigal's confession, McNamara decided to leave at Cleveland a I suit case containing 20 quarts of nltro-glycerine. McManigal asserted McNamara had mapped out a series of explosions "which were to bo presented to the convention." Information from delegates who had arrived in advance at Rochester is held by the government to have Induced McNamara to change his plans. That information, the indictment charges, was that the international officials, including President Ryan and business agents, were aware of the dynamite plots and some of the men now indicted objected to any unusual numbers of explosions while the convention was in session. In this connection McManigal's , confession is quoted as stating "McNamara said he wanted a lot of 'open shop' jobs blown up at one time to make the delegates foel good. Just before meetings of the executive committee McNamara wanted many jobs pulled off, 30 it would please the members and show them business was good. The 2 0 quarts of nitroglycerine with which we stated out from Indianapolis were left with Pete Smith in Cleveland/' The year of the convention 25 bridges, viaducts and buildings were reported blown up in various parts of ilie country. Advices were received by the government today that at least half a dozen of the defendants are preparing to "tell all they know." It was said that developments resulting irom new information the govern ments expect^ to receive mignt ne i expected before all the men are arraigned here on March 12. ? STANDS BY CHAMP GLAHK. Missouri Instructs for the Speaker for President. At Joplin, Mo., after an all afternoon fight 011 the floor of the convention caused by the effort of the convention caused by tlie effort of David A. Ball, a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination, to oppose the program agreed on by party leaders, the Missouri Democratic State Convolution late Tuesday elected eight delegates at large to the Baltimore convention, each with half a vote. Each of tlie 1 G congressional districts chose delegates to Baltimore. Ball's fight : to stop what lie termed "gag rule" and "Cannonism" was unsuccessful and the program went through. The > delegation was instructed to vote for 5 Champ Clark, for president on every > ballot taken before the Baltimore . convention. Edward F. C.oltra, St. Louis millionaire, was reelected by acclamation as national committee) men from Missouri. In a speech ac3 cepting the nomination Mr. Qoltra _ pledged his allegiance to Mr. Clark's 1 candidacy. E) q Baggage Pocket Exploded. 1 A trunk exploded at Norton, Va., y Wednesday afternoon, resulting in - serious Injuries to Baggagemaster i Smith of the Louisville & Nashville - railway. The trunk contained a quantity of Rome high explosive, probably dynamite. It could not be learned whether the explosion had its origin n in an infernal machine design. i A May Kntor Knee. e Former Senator John L. McLaurln b is quoted as threatening to enter the o race for governor in the event that Gov. Bleaso vetoes the cotton warehouse bill. WHAT FELDER DID * HIS WORK REVIEWED BY HON. J. S. BRICE OF YORK. SAVED MONEY FOR STATE IT? Was the One Man Who Could Have Secured the Evidence Which Damned the Old Stat? Dispensary and Who Did Secure It and Earned His Pay. The Hon. J. S. Brice writes the following to the Yorkville Enquirer: If there was one liquor house that swindled South Carolina out of more money than any other during the reign of (lie State dispensary, it was he Richmond Distilling Company, ind at the same time the Ansel commission was removed by * * * the present Governor, this same Felder you speak of had a suit pending against them for five hundred thousand dollars, and they had offered to compromise this suit for one hunlred thousand dollars in cash. Also it was the intention of the commission to require any dispensary official i\lio had taken money from the State Lo restore the same. Now as a citizen of South Carolina, who loves his State and who has served his State without asking for any reward for his services, and knowing the criminal trials of the dispensary officials were mere political battles, had 1 remained on the commission 1 should have certainly attempted to have had these parties make restitution, regardless of whether they were ever tried in the Criminal Courts or not. From the establishment of the State dispensary system in July, until its abolition In February, 1907, a period of nearly fourteen years, there were charges of rebate and graft made on the hustings, in the newspapers and on the floor of the House and Senate in Columbia, but these charges were always met with scorn and derision, and even the honest yeomanry of South Carolina attributed them to political prejudices. The State of South Carolina spent thousands of dollars through a committee appointed on motion of Cole L?. Blease investigating the State dis t vnn n?w1 Christ. pensaiy, unu. nnnu ? ensen of that committee did faithful work, they only succeeded in stirring up some black slime on the surface of the reeking and rotten dispenBary caldron, and the State dispensary advocates, your friend Blease among them, on the floor of the Senate dared and defied them to go into the Criminal Courts on any of the evidence they produced. It is true, after they made their report, every honest man in the State believed the system was rotten, and acting on this belief the Legislature abolished the system, but everybody in South Carolina believed it was impossible to ever prove in any Criminal Court that any one connected with the system was guilty of fraud and of larceny. But in 1 007, when Thos. B. Folder appeared on the scene of action and stripped himself and went down into the black and seething dispensary pit, he came back with his hands full of positive, indisputable written evidence of the guilt of the dispensary officials and of liquor houses. Folder and Folder alone produced the evidence that satisfied everybody, 1 ^ dlonnnon IT QVQ I 1*1011(1 and lot!, OL tut; Ull>];uiio(ii j ?j tern that stealing, and pood stealing, had been going on to such an extent that it was reduced to a system. Tom Folder is no saint and he is no prohibitionist. He is one of the attorneys for the Tiiquor Dealers' Association now, (he was not at the time ho was employed by the commission) but he is the man who furnished the evidence that forever damned the State dispensary system, and the poo pie of South Carolina owe him a deb of gratitude for his work. I know of no lawyer in the St at < of South Carolina, and I know some thing about the Bar of this State who had the legal and detective abil itv combined to do the work Fcldo did, and 1 assert there is not a lawye in this State could have done it. Si if by Felder's "rake off" you meat the fees of the State commission pai him under a written contract, T as sort, he didn't cost the State a dollai and through his efforts money wa put in the State treasury and his fee and that money put in the Stat treasury was money which would otV erwise have gone into the till c corrupt liquor houses that had bee swindling the State lor years, an that Thos. 13. Felder fairly won an richly deserved every cent he got. I know he has Incurred the evoi lasting ill will of those against whoi ho presented evidence. I kno Bloaso's dispensary commission spot a year trying to get him In Jail, know nothing about the man excej his work as attorney for the win* ing-up commission, and I Would I untrue to myself if I did not star up and say he did his work for Sout Carolina wisely and well, faithful] i and efficiently, and earned overy do i lar he rocclved. Whilo I have not the report befoi - me today, when the winding-up con mission sold the liquor and supplh on hand, tho liquor houses proved debts against the State to the amount of about $700,000, and there was not enough money on hands to pay the costs of the administration and the liquor house debts, and when Felder appeared with his evidence and showed by competent and indisputable evi- , dence that the State did not owe them half this amount, the liquor houses went into the United States Court in order to get their $700,000. And right here I must say that I have always been surprised at the large number of our citizens, many of them good, honest men, loyal citizens, but so blinded by their love for the State dispensary system that they almost prayed that the United States Court would acquire jurisdiction and wind up the affairs of tho State dispensary. Of course, if the Supreme ' ^ " * r_. 11. J V* ^ n..n court or tno uniieu oiaitjs uuu bubtaincd tho judgment of the United States Circuit Court and of the United State Court of Appeals, then Felder would not have received a cent, and all the time and all the money and all the services lie had spent would have gone for naught. And it has been conservatively estimated that the costs of the administration in tho United States Court, and which the State of South Carolina would have paid, attorneys' fees and all, under these circumstances, would have been over $200,000. Now while you, possibly, like Teddy, Roosevelt, would have been d-e-l-i-g-h-te-d when the United States Court called on them to pay a dispensary deficiency of from two to three hundred thousand dollars. BANDITS WERE FOILED. Opened Throttle and Sped Away From Bobbers. Five men made an unsuccessful effort to hold up a westbound passenger train 011 the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad at 3 o'clock Thursday morning nine miles east of Cec.ar Rapids, Mich. While the tram was passing slowly over new construction work, the bandits signaled the engineer to stop. When tho engineer opened the throttle, they began firing. A bullet struck the engineer in the arm, but he stuck to his post and brought the train into the city. Posses started in pursuit of the robbers. ? Ry Strict Party Vote. Supported by every Democrat in the House, but opposed by tbe insurgent and regular Republicans, the House Wednesday passed the Underwood chemical tariff bill by a vote of ITS to 127.
