ASKED FOR.
Columbia, Feb. 18.?The Kin loch
dam proposition passed the House to
day by a vote of 63 to 37. It was con
tended that to pass this biU would be
in the interests of S. M. .Ward & Co.
of Georgetown,, but would ' cause
fmand#"injury - to A. M. Manigault
of Charleston. The House seemed to
be impressed with the fact that the
Georgetown deelgation is unanimously
ia favor of the bilL Mr. Doar of
Georgetown declared that he had .been
ail over the waters under discussion,
and it would not hurt Mr. Manigault's
property. The bill has already passed
the Senate. j
The House this morning lost an hour
filibustering over a bill to allow the
South Carolina College trustees to
improve their property in Main street.
This bill, passed the House last night,
but after an hour of hair splitting
votes the House reversed itself this
morning and finally killed the measure.
Another hour was spent on the Sen
ate bill to allow communities of over
o,000 inhabitants to get one of the
Carnegielibraries. A number of com
munities don't want these Caarnegie
gifts. The bill passed a third reading
and now becomes an~act.
At the session today the office of
phosphate, inspector was abolished and
the duties will devolve upon the
phosphate commission without com
pensation, not on the State geologist,
as passed by the House. The ac t goes
into effect August 17,1903.
To sentence ten: year convicts to the
chain gang was discussed at length,
but debate was interrupted by ..the
ratification of fifty-three acts by the
joint assembly. 2ib action has yet been
taken on ex-Gov. McSweeney's vote.
The Georgetown shad bill has been
reported favorably. The object of tho
bill is to. prohibit the shipment and
sale of shad beyond the State for the
period of %e years. The Georgetown
delegation is fighting the measure.
The Senate at the afternoon session
took up: the appropriation passed by
the house and amended it in several
particulars. These amendments will
have to go before a committee of con
ference. The "Winthrop College appro
priation was fixed at $56,522 and $5,456
for the regular scholarships. The
boose aprepri?ted only $52,000.
At the iiightsession the house, pass
?ed the Bagsdale bill to regulate the
relief departments of railroads.
Wl LEO'S JUBILEE.
A Brilliant Scene in the Hall of
Beatification.
Borne, February 20.?"It seems im
possible that it is twenty-five years
since I ha?e been there,'5 was Pope
Leo's exclamation as he looked from a
window of the apartments this morn
ing into the sunlit piazza of St. Peter's.
This was the Pontiff's only reference
"to his long term of self-imposed im
prisonment in the Vatican, during
which he has never gone beyond the
palace grounds and St. Peter's, which
is considered to be part of the Vati
can. "What a glorious morning for
the jubilee of my Pontificate," the
Pope added, as he proceeded with evi
dent pleasure to peruse the almost in
numerable telegrams, letters and ad
dresses of congratulation, which h^ve
reached the Vatican from all parts of
the world.
The hall of beatification, above the
portico of St. Peter's, where the Pontiff
held his jubilee reception, presented
a brilliant scene. It was beautifully
hung with antique brocades and il
luminated by thousands of electric
lights and wax candles. The boxes
lining the long, narrow hall were fill
ed to their capacity with members of
the Roman aristocracy, diplomats,
?women with black veils, men in even
ing dress and monks and Sisters in
varying garb. Here and there groups
of Papal Guards, in bright uniforms,
lent color to tue whole. Notable
among the diplomats was Count
Almodovar, head of the special mis
sion sent to represent the King of
Spain at the jubilee.
*Th-e struggle to get 'into the hall
was terrific. People were swept off
their feet and women were overcome,
but no one was reaily injured. There
was a long and tedious wait before
the ceremony commenced, and the
audience was growing restless when
suddenly a great roar of "Lonj: Live!
Leo"; and ''Long Live the Pope?j
King !" announced the arrival of the j
Pontitf. His Holiness was borne in {
the sedia gestatoria on the shoulders
-of eight men, habited in red brocade.
The Pope himself were gorgeous robes
and had the triple crown on his head.
EFe bestowed his benediction right
an : lull as fce passed through the
cheering concourse, whose enthusiasm
wds sc great and whose desire to touch
the hem of the Pope's gown was so j
intense that the presence of the
guards really seemed necessary for the
protection.
When the Pope advanced to the
throne the Pecci family f that of the
Pontiff) stood on its right and Count
Ahnodovar on its left.
Subsequently ths jres3s'atio3 of
gifts occurred, including the gold
tiara, the jubilee ; present of the
Catholic world, which cost $25,000,
the gold medal and the symbolic keys.
After bestowing the Apostolic bless
ing the Pope returned to his apartments,
amidst the enthusiastic plaudits of the
multitude.
The Pope completed the functions of
his jubilee today without undue
fatigue. Upon returning to his apart
ments-he exclaimed:
?? .
"This is really the happiest day of
my life."
NEGROES BLOWN TO ATOMS.
A Deadly Dynamite Explosion at
the Stewart Quarry.
Columbia, February 20.?William
Austin, Charles Young and Charles
Washington, three negro laborers at
the Stewart quarry, were instantly
killed this morning by the premature
explosion of forty pounds of dynamite.
The explosion occurred about 9 o'clock
, this morning and, although the quarry
is over two miles from the centre of
the city, the shock was distinctly felt
in the buildings and the window
panes rattled from the concussion.
The noise was heard for miles.
It will never fce known how the ac
cident occurred, as the three dead
men were the only ones in the hole at
the time but it is supposed that the
box containing the dynamite in some
way was dropped or perhaps a fuse
was connected with it. Mr. R. F. I
Scarle, who was standing up on the
nill above the quarry hole, and seve
ral others who happened to be near,
hastened to the scene at once. The
men were literally torn to pieces,
their clothing being in shreds, and
pieces of flesh being scattered around
for many yards.

Washington, February 18.?The ap- !
pointment of Dr. B. T. Pearson to be J
postmaster-at Wilson, N. C, has been
determined upon by the President on i
the recommendation of Senator Pritch
ard. Pearson will take the place now
held by the negro postmaster, Vick,
who has made a fight for reappoint
ment. Pritchard first named another
man, who was held to be objectiona
ble on the ground that he. sold liquor.
That name was withdrawn and Pear
sons' substituted. Some of the other
North Carolina negroes who were bit
terest in criticising Pritchard for op
posing: Vick have come out strong for
Pritchard, as the negro's friend, and
it is presumed Vick has been sacri
ficed by his friends, who hope to get
something for themselves.

FIRE AT ROSE HILL
Store Building and Manager's Dwelling
Burned.
Messrs. J. Ryttenberg & Son's Rose
Hill store building and stock of gen
eral merchandise, and the dwelling
house adjoining, which was occupied
by Mr. E. Alexander, manager of
Rose Hill, were burned at 3 o'clock
a. m. Friday. Both buildings and their
contents were a total loss, none of
their contents being saved. When
Mr. Alexander was awakened by the
roaring of the flames the roofs of both
buildings were burning fiercely and
almost falling in. He and Mrs. Alex
ander had only time to escape with
their lives, and saved only a change of
clothes apiece.
Mr. Alexander who was in town Fri
day, says that he has no idea how the
fire started or how long it had been
burning when he was aroused. The
store building, dwelling house and
stock of merchandise were insured for
$1500, which is less than half the" loss.
Mr. Alexander had $400 insurance
on his household effects, which covers
about one-third his loss.
DEATH BUSY AT MAGNOLIA.
Three Citizens Pass Away Within a Short
I Space.
Magnolia, Feb. 19.?How incompre
hensible are the operations of death !
On the 7th inst., Capt. D. E. Keels,
who had been seriously ill for 9
months, died; on the 13th inst., Mr.
James W. Wilson, who had been ill
for four months, died, and on the
night of the 18th inst,, Mr. Henry V.
Anderson, who had be very ill since
the 1st of January last, passed peace
fully and calmly away: aged respec
tively, 65, 56 and 43 years. They pass
ed away in the order in which they
were taken ill. ^
Mr. Anderson, leaves a wife and six
children to mourn his loss, and a host
of sympathizing relatives and friends.
He was an elder in the Lynchbnrg
Presbyterian Church and a member
of the board of trustees for our graded
school, and his services, in both
capacities, will be missed.
There is a great deal of sickness in
this neighborhood from different
causes, but mostly from colds.
The storm a few nights since, play
ed havoc with the pine timber between
Lynchburg and Shi loh. In some places
where the pines had been protected
from the ravages of the saw mills and
turpentine ax, nearly all were blown
down, and some small houses blown
down or unroofed.
The heavy rains have retarded farm
work, but the gentle (?) breezes we've
been having for the past three days
will soon sweep the surface moisture
away.
FACTS.
I should like the public to know
that the Northern portion of the
Monumental Square, which the Grad
ed School trustees and their partisans
are demanding was never dedicated to
educational purposes, but was pur
chased by James D. Blanding, E. C.
Green and W. F. B. Hayns worth, as
trustees for the Ladies' Memorial As
sociation, being conveyed to them by
James I. Coghlan, Sheriff, under
foreclosure proceedings by J. J. Frier
son against Leonora W. Jones, James
Blanding Jones and others. The pro
perty so conveyed was to be held by
these trustees and by their successors,
(The Daughters of the Confederacy)
"to and for the uses and purposes of
said Association," "and for none
other."
As to our reasons, 1 cannot speak for
the Daughters, but one Daughter
thinks, apart from the question of our
right to violate this trust, that we are
the guardians of the monument, and
that should be our first consideration ;
that the monument should be in a pro
minent position, and should not be
rendered insignificant by being over
shadowed by a large building on either
side: that from a stand point of pub
lic interest, the only open place in Sum
ter where the people can assemble for
open air purposes should not be closed.
It may interest the general public to
know that that part of the square now'
occupied by the Graded School was
leased for school purposes upon the
following conditions, (among others;:
That the school district of the city
of Sumter was to "erect and keep in
repair a neat fence on the Northern
line of the lot hereby demised, to pre
vent the scholars of said public school
from doing any damage to said Monu
mental Square or the aforesaid monu
ment thereon."
"To beautify said Monumental
Square, by laying off walks and
plantin? ornamental trees thereon and
by the janitor of said public school
I to keep up and attend to said Monu
I mental Square and said walks and trees
j and prevent any damage to the same."

German Syrup is the special prescrip
j tion of Dr. A. Boschee, a celebrated Ger
man physician, and is acknowledged to I
he one of the most fortunate discoveries
in medicine. It quickly cures coughs,
colds and lnn^ troubles ot the severest
nature, removing, as it does, the cau>e of
ihc affection and leaving the parts in a
strong and healthy condition. It is not
an experimental medicine, but has stood
tlie test of years, giving statisfiaction in
every ca^e. which its rapidly increasing
gale every season confirms, 'two million
bottles sold annually. Boschee's German
Sj rup was introduced in the United States
in 1868, and is now sold in every town
and village in the civilized world. Three
doses will relieve any ordinary cough.

TEXT OF THE CHARTER BILL.
It Allows ihe Company to Increase Its
Capital Stock to Five Million Dollars.
Though the company has already
secured a charter under the general
incorporation act of the State the con
cern that proposes to build the Co
lumbia and Lexington trolley line has
had presented in the house of repre
sentatives a bill "to authorize the
Lexington and Columbia Railway
company to construct its tracks
through certain counties and for
other purposes," which indicates that
it is now proposed to build the line so
as also to touch Camden, Sumter and
Saluda.
The provisions of this bill are as
follows:
Section 1. That the Lexington and
Columbia Raiiway company, a corpora
tion heretofore created under the laws
of this State, shall have the right to
construct a railroad track or tracks
from the town of Lexington, in the
county of Lexington, to the town of
Saluda, in the county of Saluda, and
from the city of Columbia, in the
county of Richland, to the city of
Sumter, in the county of Sumter,
and elsewhere in.said State; that said
company shall have the right to erect
poles along its tracks and hang wires
thereon: to erect a bridge across
Wateree river, between Columbia and
Camden ; to condemn land for rights of
way through the counties of Sumter,
Kersbaw, Richland, Lexington and
Saluda and elsewhere in said State,
and to 'increase its capital stock to
five million dollars.
Sec. 2. That said company shall have
the right to construct a dam or dams
across the Saluda river, in Lexington
county, at any point or points at which
said "river is not now navigable, for
the purpose of generating electricity.
It will be noted that the bill is far
reaching and shows that the project
is on a much more extensive scale
than was first contemplated.?The

THE SCHOOL HOUSE QUESTION.
The Matter Discussed From The View
Point of a Colored Taxpayer.
To the Editor of the Daily Item:
From time to time articles have ap
peared in the several newspapers of
this town advocating an issue
of bonds for a new school house.
While the subject is before the pub
lic, I think it would be pertinent to
call to the attention of the taxpayers
j and citizens the needs of the colored
people in this particular.
It is a patent fact that the present
building is incommodious, unsanitary,
unsightly and in every way unfit for
its purpose. At present over four
hundred (400) pupils are crowded into
five rooms, which are poorly lighted
and ventilated, and conducive to the
spreading of diseases. Would it not
be fair, and at the same time pro
Stable, if the town is to be bonded,
to provide for the colored population?
I do not think it will be amiss to
correct an impression that prevails
somewhat generally?that the colored
people do not contribute largely to
the support of the school. At a con
servative estimate, the school taxes
amount to about $300, the contingent
fee in the neighborhood of $900, the
poll tax abont 8200, and, if to these
amounts you add a reasonable share
of the dispensary fund, we wonld have
a total of about $1500.
JrVith this showing, are not the
colored pecf/ieA deserving of better ac
coznodations/\ Respectfully,
T \'C. W. Birnie, M. D.
t
3$*e foregoing article ststes clearly
tfe o&se fn&m -the view point of a
colwed^ta^ajf r, and no one can find
reasj? $0 j?Kicise the spirit in which
it ig?wrij|yn. The estimate of the
amount? contributed toward the sup
port owtMe Lincoln School by colored
taxpyefe* is somewhat large, and for
the information of the public, to the
end that there may be a correct un
derstanding of the matter, the exact
figures, so far as obtainable, are
given.
Incidental fees, (1901-02) $536 00
Tuition fees, (1901-02) 188 53
Taxes,
Special city, 150 10
Constitutional 3 mill, 150 00
Special 1 mill, 75 00
Poll, 200 00
1,301 73
The expense account for the support
of the Lincoln School is as follows:
Salaries, 1,431 00
Incidental expenses, 309 00
81,740 00
The dispensray profits cannot be
fairly credited to the school fund, for
the reason that the city's share of the
profits from the local dispensary go
into the general fund and not one cent
of it is expended for the support of
the school system.
Again, no "part of the Superinten
dent's salary is charged against the
Lincoln School, although a portion
of it should be, inasmuch as a part of
the Superintendent's time is devoted
to the supervision of the Lincoln
School, and the burden of the manage
ment of the eontire system is borne
by him. It is thus shown that the
Lincoln School costs annually 8438.27
more than the colored people pay in
taxes, incidental fees and tuition to
ward its support, without taking into
account the cost of supervision.
