1EATH OF ABRAK S. HEWITT.
face Mayor of New York and for
Years Prominent in Congress.
New York, January 18.?Abram S.
Hewitt, former mayor of New York
a?d Representative in Congress from
i874 to 1887, died at 6 o'clock this
Jsotning. He was in his 81st year and
had been critically ill for ten days.
at the moment of his
death were his wife, his three sons and
three daughters. Mr. Hewitt, who
had been in feeble health for some
?onths, was attacked with obstructive
jaundice on Jan. 8, and from the first
it was recognized by his attending
physicians that there was practically
no hope of the aged patient's recovery.
Only his wonderful vitality kept him
alive until this morning.
' Late Saturday night the physicians
notified Mr. Hewitt's son, Peter Coper
Hewitt; that death was imminent,
and the other children, Edward R.
Hewitt, Erskine Hewitt, Mrs. J. 0.
-Green, Miss Sarah Hewitt and Miss
Eleanor G. Hewitt, were summoned,
and, with their mother remained by
the bedside until the end. ?
The funeral service, which will be
-conducted by Bishop Potter, will be
held in Calvary Church, of which Mr.
Hewitt was a member, on Wednesday.
Beaumont Of! Field Failing.
? Dallas, Texas, January 18.?The San
Jacinto Oil Company, ons of the
largest concerns in Dallas, operating
in the Beaumont field, was placed in
the hands of a receiver yesterday
on the application of the Texas Cot
ton Products Company of Texas,
which company had a contract with
the San Jacinto Oil Company for a
large quantity of crude oiL
? The Rev. J. B. Cranfell, a well
known Baptist minister and editor of
Dallas, president" of the company,
said the complainant Company had a
contract with the San Jacinto Com
pany to purchase crude oil at 15 cents
a barrel. This contract, was one of
fifty, all of. which were made at a
time when the company's wells were
gushers and producing' thousands of
.barrels of oil per day. Since that time
one of the San Jacinto Company's
wells has failed entirely and produc
tion from the other two has practical
ly ceased. It was, therefore impossi
ble to fill the contracts, as there was
not enough oil produced by the wells
to meet more than a small percentage
of what the contracts demanded.
The differences between what the
contracts called for and the present
price for oil approximates $1,500,000.
There ?are about 6,000"stockholders of
the company scattered over the United
States.
A New Klondike in Alaska.
^Seattle, Wash, January 18.?A
special to The Times from Dawson
says:
A tremendously rich strike, the
magnitude of which has never been
equalled since Ben Henderson told his
wonderful story of the Klondike, has
been made eighteen miles north of a
point on Tenana River, three hundred
miles from its source. The district is
in American territory. Circle has
been depopulated and a wild stampede
.of prospectors from all the surrounding
country is in progress. As yet few
have reached the discovery.
The holes that have proved the
wealth of the country were sunk late
last winter -and the first man to reach
Dawson from the new" .country has
just arrived. He is a Japanese named
-J. Wada, well known in Dawson,
where his veracity and honesty are
acknowledged. So far the report has
nc^'bee? spread to any extent in Daw
son, but the little that has been told
has created an excitement that surety
means a stampede.
The gist of Wada's report is that
?the district resembles the Klondike in
its physical formation, but has a
heavier growth of timber. Gold in
widely different kinds had been found
in eight different creeks when Wada
left for Dawson on December 22.
The original strike was made on
Pedro, a creek running parallel with
Tanana, about eighteen miles from
the river. This creek is staked for
miles.
The Venezuelan Blockade.
Maracaibo, Yenezcela, January 18. |
?The German cruiser Panther shelled j
Fort San Carlos, at the entrance to j
Lake Maracaibo, yesterday afternoon j
Tor one hour. The fort returned the!
fire with four guns. The Panther
withdrew in the direction of Curcao. j
Fort San Carlos is twenty-two miles !
from Maracaibo and commands the
entrance to the lake, or inner bay.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press has received the following letter
from Gen. Bello, the commander of
the fort:
"Yesterday afternoon at half-past 12
Fort San Carlos was attacked and
shelled . without any provocation on
our part, without previous notification
of the delivering of an ultimatum by
the German cruiser Panther, which
tTied to force the entrance. After a
fight lasting an hour, during which
the fort used only four guns, the
Panther was obliged to abandon the
fight and retreated in the direction
of Curacao. The fort has suffered no
damage and only three men were
wounded."
There have been popular demonstra
tions on the streets here as a result
of the shelling of the fort.
The Bubonic Plague.
Mazatlan, Mex., Jan. 18.?There
have been 107 deaths from the plague
.since Jan. L The deaths on the 15th
numbered seven and many new cases
are reported.
Most of the ladies of the higher class
have left the city and hardly any wo
men are seen on "the streets.
Trade is reduced to the lowest pos
sible point.
Great disappointment is felt at the
non-arrival of serum on the steamer
from Guayamas.
Mentone, France, January 18.? The
Crown Princess of Saxony and M.
Giron, with wbon she eloped, have
arrived here and intend to stay two
months. They have taken the name
of M. and Mme Andre Gerard.
Child Labor North and South.
For some time there has been an
agitation against child labor in the
cotton mills of the Sonth, an agita
tion led by labor leaders of other States.
One of the noticeable things about
this agitation is that it comes prin
cipally from a section of the country
which is feeling the effect of the
competition of Southern mills, the
success of which is attributed largely
to the cheaper labor and consequent
less cost of production. In this the
child labor was counted as a consider
able factor. New England manufac
turers have tried in several ways to
deprive the South of the advantage of
cheaper labor, concealing their inden
tity behind the labor organizations.
" For some years attempts have been
made to organize the mill operatives
in the South into Unions and to iden
tify the Unions with the labor Unions
of the North, by which they would be
controlled as a part of the national
organization, which being stronger in
the North than in the South would
have a controlling voice and in case of
disputes between employers and em
ployes in the North resulting in
strikes, strikes might be ordered in
the South, although there might be
no occasion for strikes. It can be
easily seen from this how the North
ern cotton mill operators would be
benefited by getting the Southern mill
operatives into the Northern Labor
Union, for in the event of a strike and
the closing of their mills the Southern
mills might be also closed, whereas
without this organization the South
ern mills are not affected by labor dis
turbances in the North, but keep run
ning right along and rather profit by
such disturbances. But so far they
have not succeeded very well in this.
The next move was to work for the
passage of a bill by Congress prescrib
ing the number of hours in a day's
labor, in other words to reduce the
hours in the South'to the same num
ber that now constitute a day's labor
in the new England mills. This would
' cut off about two hours from the day's
I work in the Southern mills, and
would deprive them of that advantage.
The bill for that purpose introduced
in the House of Representatives a few
years ago, by Mr. Lovering, of Massa
chusetts, was a flash in the pan, and
we haven't heard anything about that
since.
The next movement was on child la
bor, which has more merit in it than
either of the others, for it has appa
rently, at least, sympathy for the child
as its inspiration, although this is not
the sole inspiration, for there isselfishT
ness in that as there was in both of
the other movements. If child labor
were confined to the South, or even if>
there were more of it in the South
than in other sections, the merit in
this movement might not be dis
puted, but the fact is there is less
child labor in the South than there is
in other sections, it is decreasing and
public sentiment does not regard is
with favor, although the children so
employed fare better and are better
situated than are the children employed
in Northern mills, for the reason that
in the South the mill operatives are
not looked upon as the mere machines
they are in the North, the relations
between them and their employers
being closer and the employers taking
a more kindly interest in them.
There is a graet deal of difference in
the condition of the operatives in mills
in rural districts, where there is plenty
of room for all, comfortable homes,
camparatively , cheap living, with
churches and schools, and in the con
ditions of operatives in crowded manu
facturing towns, where there are few
comforts and the employer takes no
interest whatever in the man, woman
or child worker after the day's work
is done and they leave the factory.
Whatever, the objection may be to
child-, labor, (and there is muchj the
condition of the children employed in
the average Southern mill is far bet
ter than is the condition of children
employed in the average Northern
mill, some of the reasons for which
we have noted above.
As proof that the Northern oppo
nents of child labor in the South have
enough to engage their attention at
home before they start out on crusades
in the South, the Baltimore Manufac
turers' Record of last week publishes
tables snowing from the census of 1900
the number of women and children
employed in the North and South.
The six New England States had em
ployed in their mills 260,290 women I
and 25,1ST children.
Three of the Middle States?New
Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania?
had 407,935 women and ~A.:YCtj chil
dren.
Five cf/tbe Central Western States
had 171,313 women and 26,7ii chil
dren.
The fourteen Southern States had
111.S56 women and -AS.S68 children.
Out of a total of 1,031,760 women
these fourteen States, with one third
of the total population, had only 112,
S-^O, and out of a total of 1GS,chil
dren they had only 4SS,68, not as many
by about 6,000 as the three Middle
States named above.
We don't believe in working either
women or children when there is any
one to support them and they are not
compelled to work for their own sup
port, we believe that everything should
be done that is possible to spare the
children, and we are gald to see that
the sentiment is in this direction in
North Carolina and in the South gen
erally, still we contend that those peo
ple on the other side of the line who
take such an active interest in our
labor system and in our women and
children should work up their own
field, correct the abuses, there before
they start out on Southern crusades.

American tobacco leaf markets. Near
Pretoria a series of plantations have

Norfolk farmers sent out from Eng
land and directed by a professional
expert; while in Rhodesia a series of
plantations has been started by the

PRESIDENT BENJAMIN SLOAN.
Unanimously Elected by the S.
C. College Trustees.
Soath Caroilna college has now got
a president. Saturday evening at a
meeting of the board of trustees they
tendered the presidency to Maj. Benj.
Sloan, which he accepted. Major
Sloan has been an active member pf
the faculty since 1880. At the resign
ation of President Woodward in June
he was elected chairman of the faculty
until a president could be elected,
later on he was asked to accept the
presidency but declined and after much
insistence on the part of the board,
decided to act as president this year.
The last part of December he was
presented with a strong petition signed
by all the boys to accept the presi
dency and this was the reason he ac
cepted it.
Saturday night when the action of
the board was announced the college
boys were all delighted and went to his
house cheering him. He came out and
made a short speech and asked them
to help him administer the affairs of
the college in the future as they have
done in the past and told them the rea
son he accepted the preisdency was on
account, of their petition. Major
Sloan is a native of Pendleton county.
He is a graduate of West Point and
has been in active service both in the
U. S. army and the army of the
Confederacy. After the war he was
president of the Greenville and Colum
bia railway; later he was professor at
Adger college, which place he left to
accept a professorship in the South
Carolina college. J
After the Gamblers.
The "power of one determiner! man
who will enforce the law is being rich
ly exemplified in the war which Dis
trict Attorney Jerome is waging against
gambling in New York. For some
years past, the gaming headquarters,
of Canfield has been a notorious place
in New York, not infamous for its dis
orderly scenes and infraction of the
peace, but notorious in the community
as the gambling headquarters for the
smart set in New York. Millionaires
went there and lost their thousands on
gaming and while the existence of the
place was known to the public, it was
declared to be absolutely unassailable
and beyond the reach of the law.
Among club men and the smart set the
impregnable character of the place was
a matter of common discussion, and it
was declared impossible for any detec
tive or policeman to enter its pre
cincts. But when District Attorney
Jerome became firmly installed in his
office and ready to inaugurate war on
the gamblers, he made a striking de
parture from the usual rule, and in
stead of having the little fellows pull
ed, struck at the head and began his
assault on Canfield's. Unhindered by
the boasted security of the place, and
undismayed by the distinguished
character of its patrons, Mr. Jerome
has created consternation among the
smart set by summoning millionaires
as witnnesses to the fact that gam
bling was illegally carried on, and has
effectually put Mr. Canfield out of
business. Not stopping there, he is
said to have in his possession a list
of houses in which brace gaines are
conducted and has the names of the
dealers who are employed for the
specific purpose of robbing patrons of
the place by unlawful manipulation of
the cards. Mr. Jerome seems to be
very much in earnest and the New
York gamblers are becoming quite
convinced of his ability to enforce the
law. He says:
If I can get the approval of the press
and public it will make my work more
agreeable and stimulate me. Every
man deisres tbe esteem and praise of
the ccmmunty: that is only human.
But whether I am praised or blamed,
I shall not halt. I intend to close every
gambling house in New York. At
least I have the means to work with,
and I shall use them.
Death of Mr. J. M. Beatty.
Columbia, S. C, January 17.?Mr.
E. M. Wilson received a telegram to
night, saying that his brother-in-law,
Mr. J. M. Beatty, of Charlotte, had
died suddenly at 8.30 p. m., in that
city. No particualrs had been receiv
ed up to midnight. Mr. Wilson and
his sister. Miss Minnie Wilson, will
leave tomorrow morning at 6 ox-lock
for Charlotte.
Mr. Beatty went to Charlotte from
Winnsboro about two years' ago to ac
cept the position of secretary and
treasurer of the Atherton Cotton
Mill, the duties of which place he has
ab'y and acceptably performed. His
death will prove a shock to his many j
friends.
The death of Mr. Beatty will be]
heard with regret by the many friends
and relatives of his familv in this
county. His wife was Miss Lizzie
Wlison, a graduate of the Sumter
Institute, and daughter of the late
H. EL Wilson, of Mayesville, S. C.
She survives him with four daughters
and two sons.
Hobson Must Work or Resign.
Washington, Jan. 37.?Upon the re
commendation of Admiral Bowles,
chief constructor of the navy,* Acting
Secretary Darling today signed an or
der assigning Constructor Hobson to
duty in charge of the construction de
partment at the Paget sound naval
station at Iiremerton. Mr. Hobson
has been for some months past on
waiting orders, having declined an as
signment to Pensacola, pending action
by congress upon a bill authorizing
his retirement. The navy department
concluded that the strait it is in
through the resignation of Constructor
Hobson, leaving vacant the important
post at Bremerton, justified the action
taken today. Mr. Hobson is now in
a position where he must resign from
the nava! service altogether or under
take active duty for which he feels
himself unfitted by reason of an eye
trouble.
