TBE MILLS NEE9 L4B08. .COTTON MULLS EMBARRASSED FOR LACK OF OPERATORS. Presidents Are Appealing, to Com missioner of Immigr?t ion Watson to Bring in Hands to Run the Mills. Columbia, S. C., May 9.-The labor lamine has become acute with the cotton mill managements of this l?tate? who are facing a serious prob? lem they cannot as yet see any solu? tion for. Commissioner of Immigra? tion Watson said today that applica? tions and letters which had come tb lus office from the mill people indi? cated that not -less than a third of ?he spindles of the state ar? idle for the want of labor. His office is not in position to give any relief just now; in fact he is at as much of a loss to know which way to tura for a solu? tion of the problem as the mill people In the short time that his de ?ent has been in operation he and his clerks have been entirely oc? cupied with efforts to secure agricul? tural labor and in devoting attention to kindred subjects, and he has had no time to devote to the mill lation. cThe two cotton mill associations of this state have the matter under ad? visement, hut so far as can be learned no definite plans have been blocked out. The question wilL likely be thor? oughly thrashed* out at the meeting of manufacturers to be held in &' few, fcays at Knoxville. The dearth of help began last Octo l>er, when good prices, for cotton in? duced hundreds of families to return to the farm, and the situation has been growing steadily worse since that time. Hie difficulty is In obtaining families instead of individuals, the family unit being so desirable on ac? count of the steadiness of the work? ers, their reliability and the economy with which they can be housed in the ordinary cotton mill cottage. Fam are unobtainable except in the of a few Russian Jews and some Folanders. Similar conditions, to a greater or less degree, prevail throughout the cotton belt, the cotton mill men here say, and some big plan will have to be organized for relief. The mills in this state are maintaining agents in adjoining states, and other states are drawing from this ?state, Alabama on account of a slightly better wage scale taking from all, with the re? sult that the mills are at present merely swapping their help. - Zhitomir, Russia, May 10.-While the list of those killed in the anti Semitic riots has not: yet been com? pleted it has been ascertained that there, were more than * a hundered victims on both sides.

BANKS H. BOYKIN. P. S.. ROOSEVELT ON RAILROADS. MAKES EXPLICIT DECLARATION FAVORING FEDERAL REGU ULATION. In a Speech in Denver He Gives Ex? pression to Views That are Thor? oughly Democratic and An? ti-Republican. Denver, Col., May 9.-President Roosevelt in a speech last night at the banquet tendered by the chamber of commerce, made the unqualified dec? laration that the federal government should? supervise and control all large corporations. He said, in part: "It is the railroads which are the only high? ways that you need take into account in dealing with the question of com? merce in a state or outside of a state. Therefore, under the changed system we see highways of commerce grow up, each of which is controlled by sin? gle corporation or individual, some? times several of them being controlled in combination by corporations or by a few individuals. When such is the case, in my judgment, it is absolutely necessary that the nation, for a state cannot possibly do it," should assume supervisory and regulatory function over the great corporations which practically control our highways of commerce. As with everything else mudane, when you get that super? visory and regulatory power on behalf of a nation, you will not have cured all the evils that existed and you will not equal the expectations of the amiable but ill regulated enthusiasts who think you will have cured all these evils. A measure of good will come, however. Some good will be done and some injustice will have been prevented, but we shall be a long way from the milleni?m." A SOUTH CAROLINA SOCIETY. Influential and Useful Social Organi? zation of the Gate City. The organization of a South Caro? lina society, to consist of the leading sons of the Palmetto state now resid? ing, in Atlanta, is now an established certainty and an unusual degree of interest has already been aroused in the plans and purposes it has in view, says the Atlanta News: Thursday night at the Piedmont Hotel the provisional association held a meeting and perfected permanent organization by the adoption of a con? stitution and the election of the fol? lowing officers for the ensuing year: President, John Temple Graves; first vice-president, O. E. Horton; second vice-president, Samuel W. Wilkes; chairman advisory board, '? Henry D. Capers; secretary and treas? urer, John Honour. The report of the committee on membership recommended thirty eight applicants for membership in jjb.e society, and they were duly , elect ?d members. There are now a hun? dred "and seventy members of the so? ciety and they are all men o?? whom any community may well be proud. The inauguration of the president and the installation of officers will oc? cur on June 22, which will be the an? niversary of the battle of Fort Moul? trie, in 1776, and of the protest of the barons at Runnymede, on the Ashley river, in South Carolina, which over? threw the proprietary government and, inaugurated the colony under the care of the king of England-two of the most important occasions in the history of the state. A special committee to arrange the details of the inaugural occasion was appointed by the chairman and con? sists of Mr. Marchant, Mr. Austin, Mr. Visanska, Dr. Kennedy, Mr. Latimer and Colonel Henry D. Capers. Hon. George Legare, of Charleston, has been invited to address the society on that occasion, and the day's events will probably close with a large re? ception and cotillion. On the whole it will be one of the most notable occasions of the kind ever held in Atlanta and the new so? ciety will enter upon its existence uri der the happiest auspices. Atlanta is justly proud of South Carolina blood which courses through her civic veins. It has contributed in no inconsiderable degree to the pro? gress and prosperity of the commu? nity, combining as it does the energy and resourcefulness of the present generation with the traditional cul? ture and refinement of the Palmetto state. The success of the society is al? ready an assured fact, and the for? mal inauguration of the movement, with the attendant festivities, will be anticipated with the keenest interest.

OF AX EXPRESS TRAIN OX THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD Twenty Passengers Killed and More Than One Hundred Injured in a Dynamite Explosion Caused by the Two Trains Coming Together. Harrisburg, Pa., May ll.-Twenty passengers on the Pennsylvania ex? press train No. 15, from New York and Philadelphia were killed and more than one hundred injured, some of them fatally, in a dynamite explo? sion which followed the collision of the express train and an east bound freight train in South Harrisburg at 1:10 o'clock this morning. Out of one hundred and sixty-nine passen? gers on the express train not one is reponed to have escaped injury. Not? withstanding the first explosion, there came two others, each greater in vio? lence than the one preceedir.g it. Then came the fire which seemed to start in every one of the overturned coaches at the same instant. The fire found its way to the dead, dying and injured pinned under the wreckage. The wreck was caused by the burst? ing of an air hose on the freight. The second section of the Cleveland and Cincinnati express plunged into the wrecked freight train exploding two cars of dynamite, strewing the ground with dead and mingling bodies. The explosion broke all windows of the city of South Harrisburg. The engineer of the passenger train, H. K. Thomas, off Philadelphia, was killed instantly, his fireman, R. H. Bickey, of Philadelphia, was thrown clear of the wreck down an embank ment and escaped with a few slight scratches. Mr. and Mrs. Tindell, the latter a daughter of Senator Knox? are among those of prominence who are reported injured this morning. Many who escaped death were bad? ly burned. In some cases the clothes were almost entirely burned from their bodies. Samuel Shubert, a the? atrical manager of New York, jumped from his berth just in time to save himself from burning to death, and his legs were badly burned. Near? by shanties and other places of shel? ter were found after the wreck for many passengers who were scantily attired in their night clothing. All were provided for rn the best man? ner possible. At ll o'clock eleven bodies had been recovered and it is believed the list will reach twenty-five. The iden? tified are: Jack L. Silverman, Mrs. Dougherty, both of Philadelphia; O. JfCuhlman, Altoona; Engineer Thom? as, of Parkersburg, Pa., and H. S. W&tson, of Clearfield, Pa. Among the injured are J. W. Burd, Memphis, Tenn., and S. T. Brown, of Nashville, Tenn. In all fifty, thousand pounds of blasting powder exploded. The entire passenger trains of nine cars and loco? motive were destroyed, AS well as nine freight cars. KAISER WILIJAM Says Russia's Army Has Been De? moralized by Drunkenness and . Vice. Berlin, May ll.-Kaiser William today, in the course of a speech de? livered to his troops referred to'the war in the Far East and declared that as Russia has proved incapable of averting the "yellow peril" Germany might find it necessary to undertake the tacsk. He attributed Russia's failure to defeat the Japanese to the fact that her army had been demor? alized by vice and drunkenness. Southerners at West Point. The names of five young men, this year's graduates of the United States Military Academy, have been given out by the authorities of the academy as "star" men.

The right to be protected in the exclusive use of a trade mark has been long recognized by the common law and enforced by the chancery courts of England and this country. The Government puts its mark on a bond to give it value. The National Biscuit Company puts its trade mark in red and white on each end of a package cf biscuit, crackers and wafers to distinguish these products and to guarantee the quality, and it does. To more clearly comprehend the real value of thia trade mark, try packages of BUTTER THIN BISCUIT and LEMON SNAPS. NATIONAL BISCUIT COMBANY : t MI c i ; f KIO i : t ea o i ; i ta ?
