SOOTH CAROLINA ?T IVORY CITY. People From all Over the State See the Exposition-Praise for Charleston. Charleston, March 20.-Today was a great day at The Exposition. It was South Carolina Day and vistors from ali parts of the State were in attend? ance. The day was perfect in every respect and the beauties of the great show were enjoyed to the fullest extent. Today marks the turning point in the attendance of The Exposition, for it is believed that from now on the at? tendance will increase from day today until the end of the .show. Visitors began to assemble at the grounds early this morning and by noon the build? ings and grounds were crowded with people who were out to have a good time. The midway was lively all the morning and this afternoon it was ex? ceptionally merry. All of the shows were running and the spielers did their duty on the outside of the doors. The.trains over the Southern and the Atlantic Coast Line brought in large crowds of visitors from the up? country. Travel was so heavy that extra coaches were attached to the trains and even then it was difficult for the passengers to ?nd seats, so crowded were the cars. The exercises did not begin until after 12 o'clock, as there was a misun? derstanding as to the details of the program. The committe on reception went to The Exposition grounds to receive Gov. MScweeney, while, on the other hand, the Governor remain? ed at the Argyle expecting the com? mittee to call on him, as he was not informed as to the ar.angements. After waiting for a long time he and Mr. Thomas Wilson went up to the grounds in a street car. The exercises were held on the steps of the State building. Several pieces of the Indian Band was brought into service to attract a crowd. The visi? tors were scattered about the grounds and throughout the buildings and they never would have been gotten togeth? er but for the band, which rendered several selections in front of the State building. After several hundred people had collected Mr. J. C. Hemphill an? nounced that today was South Caro? lina Day and that several speeches would be made in honor of the day. He introduced President Wagener, who he said, was the only man in Charleston who had a pocketbook large enough and sufficient backbone to make The Exposition a success. Capt. Wagoner arose and was receiv? ed with great applause. He spoke briefly and extended ? cordial welcome to the visitors, which, he said, was not only a Charleston enterprise, but an enterprise of the entire State, for had. it not been for the assistance received from the State ; and the counties so well represented it ; would have not been a success. He nrged the visitors to. view all of the exhibits and when they had done so he said he felt satisfied that they j would feel well repaid for the trip to Charleston and the visit "to "The Ex? position. Mayor Pro Tem James R. Johnson was next introduced, who, in the ab? sence of Mayor Smyth, who was pre? sented from being present on account j of sickness, welcomed the visitors to the city of Charletson. Hon. Charles H. Simonton, Judge of the United States Circuit Court, introduced Gov. Miles B. McSweeney. He referred to him as Governor of all the State and the Governor of all the the people. At the conclusion of Governor Mc? sweeney's address, Senator Appelt of Clarendon in a few pleasant remarks introduced Mr. J. B. Cleveland, o Spartanburg, one of the State com? missioners, who responded in a short but splendid address. Gov. McSweeney announced the counties that won the prizes. Spar tanb?nrg first, $L000; Chester second, S50CT; Darlington and Georgetown tied for third. This concluded the exer? cises and the visitors dispersed. Surgeon's Knife Not Needed.

Columbia, March 18.-The State is getting to be something of a banker. Each year considerable money is loan? ed to various counties on the credit of the tax collections. The following counties have borrowed money since the first of the year : York, $10,000: Bamberg, $3,350: Clarendon, $3,500: Kershaw, $5,000: Dorchester, $4,530: Marion, $5.770: Hampton, $5,030: Williamsburg, $500; Sumter, $8,800: Darlington, 86,900. This makes a total of $57,880. The sinking fund commission expects to loan considerable more money to the various counties. The State "gets 5 per cent from the ' counties for the money that it loans them. The State would have more money to loan the counties, but during the last year it invested much of the money intended to retire State bonds in the bonds themselves. The State now holds $113,012 worth of State bonds. This is at the face valuation. All of these bonds except $35,000 were bought during the past year. The sinking fund commission bought the bonds at such a reasonable price that it felt that it could well afford to buy the bonds rather than hold the money or loan it spasmodically. The bonds were bought at prices ranging from 114 to 117, dependent largely upon the time the interest was collected. -mm*)- mm "So you're the society editor. Well, I'm J.

London, March 20.-One of the live? liest scenes witnessed in the house of commons since the palmiest days of the Irish Nationalists, ended this afternoon with the suspension of John Dillon. During the discussion of the South African affairs, the Liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Banner man, vigorously protested against the government's conduct in uttering " malignant slanders" in calling the Liberals "pro-Boers." These sland? er, Sir Henry said, were used for party purposes. The government which had been going from blunder to blunder, claimed immunity from criticism, and if this continued it would follow "the precedent of the evil days of the American war." The speaker proceeded to give a bitter, de? railed crciticism of the government's treatment of the Boers and its miscal? culations, declaring that the honor and interests of the country were just as dear to the Liberals as to the most supercilious defender of the govern? ment's policy, and the Liberals would continue to protest in the name of the righteous and generous traditions of the nation against the methods of the government. The colonial secretary, Mr. Chamber? lain, in the course of an equally incis? ive reply said he desired to deliberate? ly accuse Sir Henry Campbell-Banner man of losing no opportunity for slan? dering his countrymen, the soldiers and the government. Consequently the "malignant slanders" had come from the opposition side. The speaker. Sir William Gully, here intervened and declared that the term "malignant slander" was unparlia? mentary. Both Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman and Mr; Chamberlain thereupon withdrew the words amid cheers. Mr. Chamberlain, proceed? ing, referred to the Boers who are fighting on the British side, when John Dillon (Irish Nationalist) inter? jected, "they are traitors," on which Mr. Chamberlain retorted : "The hon? orable gentleman is a . good judge of traitors." A scene of great confusion ensued. When order was partially restored Mr. Dillon demanded a ruling on Mr. Chamberlain's words. The speaker said : "An honorable member spoke of sol? diers serving under the British flag: as traitors. I deprecated the interrup? tion and I deprecated the retort of the other member." Mr. Dillon then said: "I will tell the right honorable member that he is a damned i lar." A dead silence followed this remark. Such unparliamentary language seem? ed to stun the house. The speaker invited Mr. Dillon to withdraw the expression, but the lat? ter said: "I will not withdraw." "Then I must name you," said the speaker. "The government leader, A. J. Bal? four, then said : "I beg to move that Mr. Dillon be suspended from service in the house." The motion was carried by 248 to 4S votes. Mr. Dillon immediately, by direction of the speaker, left the house, amid wild Nationalist cheers, and Mr. Chamberlain resumed his speech. Mr. Dillon's suspension, under the present rules, cannot exceed a week. His offense would have been more severely dealt with if the rules had been in force. The ejection of Mr. Dillon did not serve to clear the atmosphere, and the remainder of the debate was filled with personal allusions and unpleasant charges, the nature of which would have excited comment had| they not been discounted by the first explosion. Mr. Brodrick and Mr. Chamberlain, during the discussion, showed them? selves to be very hopeful for the posi? tion of affairs in Souh Africa. Mr. Chamberlain estimated there were still 9,000 fighting Boers in the field. This optimism is rather offset by the fact that the government has again telegraphed Australia, inviting that commonwealth to send 2,000 more I men to South Africa. Having a Run on Chamber Iain's Cough Remedy. Between the hours of eleven o'clock a m and closing time at night on Jan 25, 1901, AF Clark, druggist, Glade Spring, Va, sold tsvelve bottles of Chamberlain's cough remedy. He says, " I never handled a medicine that sold better or gave better satisfaction to my customers." This remedy has been in general use in Virginia for many years, and the people there are well acquainted with its excellent qualities Many of them have testified to the remark? able cures it has effected. When you need a good and reliable medicine for a cough or cold or attack of grip, use Cham? berlain's Cough Remedy and you are certain to be more than pleased with the quick cure it affords. For sale by Dr A J China. Atlanta is agitating a movement looking to the establishment of an asylum for inebriates. It would be eminently fitting if South Carolina would take up this idea and make the inebriate asylum inseparable from the dispensary. As matters stand, our law? makers are giving us a bluff about using dispensary profits for educational purposes, while at the same time they are taxing us directly for the mainten? ance of jails, poor houses and insane asylums. If the dispensary profits should be diverted tr these institutions, where they belong, the situation pre? sented would afford less confusion than it now affords and the taxpayers would be in better position to deter? mine where they are really at".-York ville Enquirer.

Miles today told the senate committee on military affairs that if the bill introduced by Senator Hawley at the instance of the war department for the organization of a general staff for the army should become a law he would decline to longer hold his com? mission. The reason he gave for the statement is that the bil! is utterly sub? versive of the interests of the mili? tary establishment, and he said that he would not be a party to such a pro? ceeding to the extent even of continu? ing to hold his place. The statement was made in the course of a prolonged hearng by the committee which was conducted behind closed doors, and in which Gen. Miles touched upon a variety of subjets con? nected with the army. The portion of the bill to which he directed his es? pecial criticism is that contained in section 7, reading as follows: "That from and after the passage of this act the senior general officer of the army shall be assigned to command such portion of the army as the presi? dent may direct, or be detailed to duty in the general staff corps. All duties prescribed by law for the commanding general of the army shall be performed by the chief of general staff or other general officer designated by the secre? tary of war. Provided, that so long as the present lieutenant general of the army continues/ on the active list ?0' shall be the chief of the general staff, and upon the separation from active service of the said lieutenant general of the army, said office, except as herein provided, shall cease and determine." Gen. Miles said that if this provis? ion should become a law it would have the effect o? destroying the unity of the army and he read numerous au? thorities, including Napoleon, Wel? lington, Washington, Cass and Grant to show the necessity of having one head to the army and of controlling authority. His own experience and observation had, he said, had the effect of confirming these views and he gave an illustration of its beneficial effect in time of emergency, instancing the beginning of the- war with Spain. "I heard at midnight," he said, "that the Spanish fleet had been located definitely at Santiago, and I hastened to the home of Secretary Long, where the news was confirmed. Shaffer was then at Tampa, and I sat down there, in the secretary's house and wrote a dispatch, directing him to start immediately for Santiago, with foe result that the army was soon on its way to the point where its pres? ence was needed. Suppose," he added, exhibiting the message which he had sent to Gen. Sh?fter, "I had been compelled to get around to a dozen or more majors, as many colonels and any number of generals constituting a gen? eral staff. ' ' Then he added that in all probability the senior general of the army would not under the provision he had quoted have been in position to do anything, and he called attention to the clause relieving him (the senior general) of command and making it possible for any other officer to be appointed. He declared that under section 7 it would be competent to one day promote a captain to the position of a brigadier and the next day to make him chief of staff, thus practically placing a captain at the head of the army. Warming up somewhat he asserted that the bill was calculated to accom? plish no purpose except to allow the secretary of war and the adjutant gen? eral to promote the interest of their personal favorities. Gen. Miles was questioned as to the reasons for locating the American army I of occupation at Tampa and holding it there so long with the resulting con? gestion. Replying to the first question, 1 he said that it was because of the or- j der to occupy Habana. The delay was due, hp said, to the fact that the American army was supplied with only 64 rounds of ammunition which would not have been sufficient for more than half an hour of fighting. Considering that Habana was one of the best fortified cities in the world, he said that to have attacked it would have been foolhardy in the extreme. He declined, however, to criticise the then secretary of war, Gen. Alger, for the condition of affairs, saying that probably any one else in the position would have done about what he did. He laid the general blame for this condition of unpreparedness at the door of congress. In the course of his remarks Gen. Miles told the committee in confidence that with the bill a law he could now name the men who would hold the places of honor provided under it, but the committee did not ask for the names.

Washington, March 19.-During the entire session of the Senate today the bill providing for the protection of the President of the United ; States was under consideration. Senator Spoon? er, of Wisconsin, made an extended argument in support of the measure. He contended that the Government-had an absolute and inherent right to pro? tect itselfjfrom assaults made either upon itself or upon any of its officers. He maintained that an assault upon the President was, in the very nature of things, an assault upon the Govern? ment, for there never was a time when the President was not in the exercise of the duties of his office. His argu? ment was largely legal and constitution? al, but throughout was forceful and entertaining and instructive. Senator Hoar, in charge of the measure, elucidated some arguments he had made previously, and Senator Teller, of Colorado, and Senator Bailey, of Texas, spoke briefly upon the bill. The Texas Senator said he could not support the measure as it stands, because he could conceive of an assault made upon the President as a person and no t as an official of the Government. The assailant, in that event, ought to be punished precisely as if he had assaulted any other citizen. . Replying to Senator Bacon, of Geor? gia, who spoke yesterday,. Senator Spooner declared that if Senator Bacon's argument was crystallized into law ' ' this would be an impotent Gov? ernment, unable to protect itself against obvious crimes, endangering our institutions and obstructing the operations of the Government." A elgitimate conclusion from the Sena? tor's argument, he said, would be '1 that this is the weakest Government under the sky. It is not. " It was an evident right of the Government of the United States to protect its own offi? cials from assault or assassination while engaged in the discharge of the governmental duties. "If the faction is a Federal one," he declared, "if it involves the safety or the sovereignty of the Government, there are no State lines." He asserted that there was no time when the President of the United States was not engaged in the perform? ance of his official duties. He could perform his duties and exercise his powers anywhere, day or night. An assault upon him, therefore, was an assault upon the Government. Senator Teller, of Colorado, object? ed to the provision giving to the Pres? ident a military guard, and suggested that the guard about him should be from the civil department of the Gov? ernment. Senator Bailey, of Texas., main? tained that the Government had ample authority to protect its officals in the performance of their duties, but he doubted its authority to punish a man who should assault or kill any Gov enment official merely as a person. The demand of the people was that the Government should lay its heavy hand upon the Anarchist. He was in accord with that demand and would hound the Anarchist from one section to another until he. had no resting place ; but he warned the Senators not to make Anarchists of themeslves in the effort to protect the President against anarchy. He could not sup? port the measure as it stood. Directly in line with the suggestion contained in .Senator Bailey's remarks, Senator Bacon, of Georgia, introduced a bill for the deportation and exclusion of alien Anarchists. It was the bill, be said, which, introduced by former Senator Hill, of New York, had been passed by the Senate, but had failed in the House. He offered it as a sugges? tion to the judiciary committee. Per? sonally he was in favor of the "most extreme legislation that can be devis? ed and justified for the accomplish? ment of the purposes stated."

James Bowden was arraigned on the charge of disposing of property under a lien. The case is a unique ene and raises a question entirely new here. His attorney demurred to the indict? ment, contending that the Act under whicn his client was held was uncon? stitutional. The demurrer was over? ruled and, upon motion of the solici? tor, the Court at once sentenced the prisoner. This he in person objected, demanding a trial by jury. Judge Buchanan refused this right, holding that having demurred the defendant admitted the truth of the charge as contained in the indictment, and that was, in effect, the same as entering a plea of guilty. While there is some diversity of opinion among the law? yers, yet most of them hold that noth? ing short of an actual plea of guilty can deprive a man of the constitution? al right of having his case submitted to a jury. The cause will be carried to the Supreme Court-Edgefield cor. News and Courier. At the first annual meeting of the trustees of the Carnegie fund of $10, 000,000 given for education in the Scottish universities the report show? ed that out of six thousand applica? tions for grants from the fund a large percentage had been disallowed, but nearly twenty-five hundred students had received assistance at a total out? lay of about $110,000 for the winter session of 1901-'02. Conditions may change later, but that expenditure repesents not a great deal more than 1 per cent on the principal. At that rate the fund would go on steadily be? coming larger. Practically Starving.
