If the May convention adopts a siikgeetlon that will be made to the State Democratic convention the county-tooounty convass for votes in the primary will be changed considerably. To have seven meetings, one in each congressional district, at h central location in the district, is a plan now being discussed in political circles. Heretofore the South Carolina campaign meetings have been numerous, the gatherings being held in each oounty in tho State. Commencing in June the meetings have run close to ttie t'mo set for the first primary. Objections have been raised to this mode of campaigning, but efforts to do away with the county-to-county canvass heretofore have proven unavailing. It is now pointed out that probably the compromise suggestion of holding congressional district meetings would meet with general favor. Tho soveu congressional district meetings, under tho proposed plan, would not constitute all of tho meetings at which candidates for office would speak. To each candidate It. would be left to arrange liis own meetings, other than those at which all the candidate* for State olllces would meet. One objection that is being raised to tho county-to-county campaign meetings is that the candidates for the more important oflicoR do not have sufficient time in which to prosent their views to the people. For nstanco, the gubernatorial candidates have heretofore had but twenty min- i utes ns a rule. In that space they hardly had time, it is said, to give y hriofiy their opinion on the issues of a campaign without regard to any attacks that might have to be answered. Forty minutes to the candidates for governor and tho same amount of time to those for the United States S-nate. the latter composing a separate campaign party, is given as a proper solution of the difficulty. Instead of starting the campaign meetings in June it Is suggested by those favoring the proposed change that July and August be utilized for the campaign meetings in the seven congressional districts. Then the candidates could in the meanwhile go to whatever meetings might be arranged for them, or for any of them. Under the district meetings' pIrii the following cities would probably bo tho ones selected for the meetings: Charleston, Columbia, Aiken, Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburg, Rock Hill or some central point in some of the districts other than at the cities named. An effort will bo made also at tho convention to separate the senatorial campaign and the campaign for the State offices. It is pointed out by those in touch on political matters that this will likely bo done by the convention. The May convention will take some action on the method of holding the campaign meetings and the State executive committee will map out the details. Guests Make Their Escape.

Hfteen burled under debt is and ton in hired when the wall of the Missouri Athletic club building at St. Louis, ( which wmb destroyed by fire, in which thirty persons lost their lives a week ago, collapsed under a high wind late Tuesday and crashed through a fourstory building occupied by the St. Louis Seed company. The wall of the Missouri Athletic Club building, which stood seven stories high, crumbled when a thirtyfive-mile wind veered to the northwest. A few minutes before the collapse Building Commissioner MeKolvey, who was directing 170 men in the work of exploring the ruins of the Missouri Athletic Club, feared the wall would fall and ordered hli men out of the debris. This action probably prevented a heavy loss of life. The four-story building occupied by the St. Louis Seed company had weakened, apparently, during the burning of the Missouri Athletic Club building, which adjoined It on the cast, and when the brick wall crashed on the walls the latter gave way, and all above the second floor crumbled. Honrs after the accident It wp.s Impossible to determine how many had been rescued from the ruins. Many doubtless escaped and went away without giving their names, but ton persons are unaccounted for. Six injured, three of them women, had boon I taken from the ruins, two wore known to he dead, and several still were in the debris. James Cobb, cashier of the seed company, apparently was dangerously hurt, but bo directed tho work of the rescuers, who tried to extricate him from the ruins. Klectric lights were strung about the debris that pinioned him, and while the workmen tugged ai mo neavy umbers leather Kennedy, a Catholic priest, administered to him the last rites of the church. Father Kennedy also administered the last riteR to another man buried in 11)e dehris. Two other priests worked in tho ruins, giving last rites to the injured. An aged man was found pinioned in the basement of the seed company building. He was seriously injured, and to take him out alive it seemed necessary to amputate his leg. Physicians l...d injected morphine into tho pinioned leg and were about to apply tho knife when workmen succeeded in moving the debris slightly, thereby releasing the injured man. The amputation was averted, and the man was taken to the city dispensary. In the seed company building at tho time of the accident were ten or twelve customers, three women and five or six men, oflieo employes, and a largo number of workmen engaged in repair work. Tho customers in the building are believed to have escaped with slight or no injuries. The injured were for tho most part odice employees of tho seed company or workmen. Express Company Quits.

More Ef* iVd lve Work A lout; Mexican liordcr Than a Regiment <>f Troops? Wetjt(M'ii I'.ud Man lias Keen Revised as Natural Result ?>f Conditions. The entire force of Texas rangers, totaling at present fifteen mounted men, lias been assigned to duty on the SOU miles of Texas-Mexican border in response to an appeal from fifty-three persons there for protection against cattle thieves and marauders. Along with news of the rangers' disposition, Cov, O. H. Colquitt made public a lengthy list of the Texas border troubles, on which his appeals for more power to protect the boundary have been based, and which explains the nature of the rangers' activities. These incidents show the rangers as peace officers, not as an armed power, which might cause the United States government embarrassment. Many of these incidents are comparatively petty crimes, not included I within the scope of neutrality laws and outside the police paths of lTnit| ed States troops on border patrol duty. The records Indicate that the rancors sometimes stop crimes before , it has proceeded to the stago of intorj national complications. I The timely arrest of a cattle or a horse thief before he has had time , to escape Into Mexico has warded off I more serious consequences, such as the killing of Clemente Vergara, the , American, which grew out of horse stealing. The records also indicate that, while many of the law-breakers have come across the international line in raids from Mexico, some mischief-makers have been residents of Ameilcnn territory in sections where i the Mexican populations is large, and have used Mpvlen nE o rnfuirr. Ono source of extreme vexation has boon inability during the past three years to secure extradition of any of those marauders, whether originally from Texas or Mexico. Gov. Colquitt estimated that in this period there have been 200 to 300 such cases, in which the state has made some sort of attempt to get the accused back to Texas without success in a single instance. The sending of rangers to Ravmondsvlllo was based on a petition asserting that "for the past few ! months cattle thieves have been i depredating, and several murders have been committed." With this petition, another signed by twenty, eight persons and making the same ! charges was made public from Sebastian, Texas. Ranger Captain J. R. Hughes, who brought these petitions to Austin three days ago after a personal investigation, said that one American named Rowell had been killed, and that several Mexicans, names unknown, were reported slain; that the killings were alleged to have grown out of depredations by persons who took refuge in Mexico, and that tho petitioners believe more police protection would allay the troublo. Raymondsville and Sebastian are in the Rrownsville section near Lyford, Tex., where rangers were sent March 3 in response to an appeal signed by forty-seven persons. Each petition made the charge of several killings, and each is believed to ; cover the same incidents. How fifteen rangers can furnish any real protection along a border 800 miles long was explained in a statement by Captain Hughes. In pome places one ranger is assigned to patrol duty to 100 miles or border, | he said. These rangers, clothed with ; all the police powers of both state and county officers, are feared by the trouble-makers, who know that the ranger can arrest them even on suspicion. "The rangers," said Captain ] ungues, "who are mounted and equipped like cavalrymen, can cover territory which few cavalrymen could penetrate, single-handed and without assistance because rangers are riding horses which never have been Rtabled." These horses, it was explained, are native to the Rio Grando country and capable of subsisting indefinitely without regular feed on the various prickly growths which are nearly the only vegetation. The bad men believe, and with good reason, based on experience, that their arrest is certain once a ranger overtakes them. liurncd to Death at Play. May Uph, seven years old, of Pensncola, Fla., was burned to death Frii day. She and her playmates had i dressed in adults' Mothing and wero j playing circus.

The negro died and Mr. Black* mon has surrendered. * CLASSIFIED COLUMN Iturgitin in White Runner Ducks. Mis. Jhk lsbell, Wulhalla. 8. C. Aiicohmk fcggi??$1.60 per 16. K. Id. Wtgoacr, AlLuiuuhavv, N.

WILL PHIIVE EIFECIIVE Wilson Put* Stamp of His Favor on All Four of the Proposed >le?xures?They Will Provide Nubiantial Basis for KITective llegulation of ITilnwfiil Combinations. President Wilson at a eon Terence Monday night with the House judiciary sub-committee on trusts, put the stamp of administration approval on the substance of the four bills to amend the anti-trust laws which the committee submitted in a practically final form. There will be another conference at the White House within a week and members of the committee asserted that unless protracted discussion should be raised in the full committee when tlie measures are presented, all four bills to strengthen the Sherman law, covering interlocking directorates, holding companies, trade relations and definitions of restraints of trade, would lie rnnnrtpH fr? iw?na*? _ . ^ w v 11 V UU UOC T> 1 I 11 ill & fortnight. President Wilson indicated bis belief that it would be better to consolidate all the bills into one in order to expedite legislation. The Senate interstate commerce committee is understood to favor consolidation, and that it will be effected by the House judiciary committee practically is certain. The president made a number of suggestions to the sub-committee which composed Representatives Clayton of Alabama. Carlin of Virginia and Floyd of Arkansas. He insisted that personal guilt of individuals in control of corporations should be prescribed in every bill In order to break up the evils that have grown up under the present antitrust laws. The committee will revise the bills with this in view and talk with the president again before submitting the measures to the full committee and to the House. The draft of the holding corporation bill had been completed just before the conference. The measure would make unlawful those holding companies that combine the stock of corporation so as to lessen competition, but would not affect cmpaniee which hold the stock of corporations that form essentioal parts of their business. Holding companies that are entirely for investment and not for business directly are not prohibited. This would permit companies like the big insurance concerns to hold the stock of corporations which are not competitors. The committee believes that in this bill it has solved the problem of discriminating between the holding company operating by combining a number of competitors into one company and the corporations that have been compelled to combine a number of concerns that are not competitors, but whose combination is necessary in order to make a unit or whole, as in the case of an oil which combines a pipe line company, a producing oil company, a refining oil company, all making one legitimate oil business.
