Congreas ia now engaged in the en acting of the laut of the progressive measures in which President Wilson has l>een BO vitally Interested. The in come tax. the currency hill, and other admlnlHtration measures hnve become law, and hav?- given great satisfaction under normal conditions and under the Ftress of the greatest war and the greatest period of commercial depres sion In the history of the world, the Wilson measures have stood the strain admirably. In fact we sometimes won der what would he the stutus of this country today hut for the administra tion measures. Especial interest has been aroused hy the following definition of s ?rust "The Wilson definition,' some of the correspondents call lt-which occurs in the bill: "A trust is a combination or agree ment between corporations, firm?, or persons, any two or more of them, for the following purposes, und such trust ls hereby declared to be illegal and in dictable: "To create or carry out restrictions In trade or to acquire a monopoly, either in InstraBtate or interstate bus iness or commerce. "To limit or reduce the production or Increase the price of merchandise or of any commodity. "To prevent competition in manufac turing, making, transporting, selling, and purchasing et merchandise, pro duce, or any commodity. "To fix at any standard or figure whereby its price to the public or con sumer shalt in any manner be con trolled any article or commodity of merchandise, produce or commerce in tended for s?le, Use, or consumption in this state or elsewhere. "To make any agreement by which they directly or indirectly preclude a free and unrestricted competition among themselves, or any purchasers or consumers, In the sale or transpor tation of any article or commodity, .Mther by pooling, withholding from the market, or selling at a fixed price or In any other manner by which the price might be affected. " HON. W. F. STEVENSON. The Hon. W. F. Stevenson, of Che raw, has suggested a plan for financ ing the state, and. for tiding over the present serious times. Whatever Mr. Stevenson says carries great weight. He is recognised as one of the great lo cal Intellects o? the South. He cnn get down Into the heart of a proposition asl rapidly aa any m?n in the country and ls not only good at dissecting but can reconstruct with equal force and clarity and when erar he gives his opinion that ? Iprppoai-, tlon will hold water, lt ls more than likely to be sound. He proposes several big things for the legislature to do. They are so big that the average mind may not read ily see their necessity and importance, but we feel aura that If Mr. Stevenson says they are all right before the law thro courts will say the same thing. "BIG" KING SUGGESTED. The news comes from Columbia that friends of W. B. King, of Anderson, are urging him to present his name for sergeant at arms of the house of representatives. His friends tn An derson would no doubt like very much to see the big ex-sheriff land this place. As chief of police of this city and as sheriff of the county "Big" King has been on?^or^tf^iiK^-w^ men in the United States. He has the executive ability and all other qualifi cations for the place. Mr.' King has stated that he ls doing very wall on his farm and ls not seeking the office, but that ha will take it if elected. MARES ARE BEST. Marea are more profitable Invest ments than mulea for South Carolina farmers and can be bought for tho silme price. The live stock demonstra tion agenta of Clemson College urge the purchase of draft mares Instead of mulea In uearly all casea. Mares, especially the strong Perch erons, may be used tor farm work and for breeding also. Mules when not at work mu.'j be kept up. Anderson-coun ty farmers know the raine, of brood mares.1 SELECTING SEED CORN, Do not wait until spring to select your seed corn. Gd'into the field now and pick ont the best ?ara on tba pest stalks. This, according to Clemson Cottage, ts the surest and safest way to get seed that will make more and better corn at no greater coat.

His chief mis sion in this country ls to deliver a lec ture at tho conference to be held at Washngton und' r the auspices of the Pan-American I nion, but that ls not what particularly interests us.

To describe the heroic deeds of th defenders of the Alamo it ls necessar to refer to the hirth of the Republl of eTxas. Up to May 2, 1836, the peopl of Texas were hound by allegiance t the Mexican federal constitution c 1824. But on that day the Texas con vention held at Washington, on th Brazos, declared the political con ncc Hon or Texas with Mexico forever s an end. It declared Texas to be free, sorer?'"*' and independent r< public, fully' invested with all > th rights sud attributes which' properl belong to an independent nation. In the meantime the Mexican forof under General Santa Anna were steat Hy advancing Into Texas With the d< termination to hold tao country und( the Mexican yoke. Toward the end < February, 188a, Santa Anna entern the 'filly -of San Antonio, driving ?t Texan guard before bim. To stay lt advance of; this formidable army t Mexico, numbering . more, than 4,00 Colonel Travia with ? ? formt, of. u men ^entrenched himself behind tl walla of the Alamo. A e Travis, In anticipation pf a Mexlct attack, had done what he could siro Athen, the walls and. provh meaos for defense. But the Alan was quilt forjfc. mission,' not for a' foi ress^.

It was at this critical moment ti; Bonham, bealing a letter from Color Travis, sallied out of the Alamo a went to Colonel Fannln, then at Gol! for reinforcements Travis' letter w a stirring appeal for' the patrloth and gallantry of his fellow-cttlxc and compatriots.

Bonham, having delivered the 1 ter io Colona! Fannln, came back tho beleaguered fort, though he kn that In returning there he was pim lug into a certain death.

Professor Shiga baila from N'aga ahino, in the province of Mikawa. In that picturesque town in far Japan there fought and died a hero, the J H. Bonham of feudal Japan, about 400 ?years ago. Toril (fer such was 'the Dame of the hero) by order of bia lord, who had been keeping at hay the over whelming forces of the enemy, wen* asw an express to the neighboring clan for aid. Upon his return to the fort oi-'Nagaabino he died a death of mar tyr aa Bjinpain died st the Alamo-. Yat E&rrirs JjKath wajgno more hr Tain than tlie death of Fpnhum. Just as the martyrdom of the defenders of the Alamo awakened the patriotism of their compatriots and resulted In the ultimate repulse of the Mexicans, BO the heroism of the^def^nderG :>? Wuga shlno JISSM Irai the gallantry of. thelfc "fellow" war ii of s arid resulted hi the victory of the cause for which they f had been fighting. . * * >. A fey^-years ago Professor Shiga visited Texas, and willie in 'Jan Anto j?lo made a pilgrimage to the battle field of the Alamo, and paid homage to the spirits of the doughty Texans ! who deWKded the little church against the tremendous forces of Santa Anna. I Upon his return home he dug a huge stone from the precincts of the ceme tery where sleeps the spirit'of Toril, the Bonham of Japan, and made of it a monument to be dedicated at the Al amo to the memory of Bonham the'To-1 rll of America. On one side of the ?tone Professor Shiga engraved these words: TO THE MEMORY THE HEROES OF THE'AliAMO. On the reverse side is engraved a! I poem1 in Japanese composed by himself ] telling of Bonham's heroic deeds. I So will the memory of the gallant' Bonham be perpetuated by 'the monu ment erected, not by an American, but by a Japanese historian and geogra pher. And why should7not'a Japanese I revere the spirit of an Amanean hero? IA the parlance: of the world' Bonham was an American, a Texan, but In I terms of eternity he was only the In carnation of that spirit which ani mates the heart of every true man, I whether Oriental or Occidental. To .Professor Shiga. Bonham is as much ! a Japanese as Toril is an American. The samurai, the flower of the Japan ese people is merely another word for the gentleman, the flower, of the An 'glo-Saxon world. Gertrude Garland at Palmetto Theatre TRIBUTE OF RESPECT To the Late Julius E Beggs. It ls a genuine pleasure, though a melancholy one, to record a well mer ited, if a poor , tribute to thc- virtues ahd the gifts of u departed friend. -, ' Just now when thc death scene, the co!enan cortege, tho last, sad;,requiem are fresh, and under the apel),,of which ive are yet subdued, his vlrtjues and rhis nobler traits loom before us with an effulgence greater than in life as if claiming now some waui.of,uue ap preciation.' .As lawyer, legislator, journalist, state's attorney, personal friend-in all thane several relations In which he stood to hu" fellows-he passes now In mental review;, and. seamp so" much a ?nan, measuring equal tb every position of responsibility, master ot every bask, faithful to every duty. It was my privilege and great pleasure to know Col.

He was well known throughout South Carolina and in his death the ?tate has suffered, a. toss that will be keenly felt. During ,111s cervices of eight years as socilitor of the tenth Judicial circuit he waa considered ope of the ablest prosecuting attorneys In the state, hisg realest characteristic as a law-yer was his. .coolness and. at all times being perfectly composed, he had great, command, of language, ,and as an advocate he" waa clear and forc?

I verily believe that he was the most patient satterer I ever knew, during all of the intense physical pa'.n that fell to his lot to bear, he ferre lt .without s word of complaint and hsa left an example of heroism valuable and sublime. To the ones who lovel him best and who are most sorely bereaved, I ex tend my deepest sympathy, ead may they some day be reunited iff the far beyond, where there ls no sickness, no sorrow, no pain, no death and where the storms of life are over and the weary forever at rest.
