Incoming and. Outgoing Governors to . Recommend Additional Funds for Building at Jamestown. South Carolina maj* after all have a State building at the Jamestown ex? position. The last session of the Pal? metto State Legislature appropriated $20,000 for participation in the ter? centennial. This sum is not suffi? cient to erect a State building and defray the expenses of assembling an exhibit. Now a movement has been launch ed in South Carolina for an ad? ditional appropriation to erect a State building. Superintendent Robert Hicks, of "the freight and passenger traffic bu? reau of the exposition, whose home is in Columbia, returned from there yesterday, and brings the good news that Gov. Heyward will, in his last message to the legislature which con- ; venes Jan. S, recommend an addition- j ^al appropriation, and that the incom? ing governor, Mr. Ansel, of Greenville, will also do the same thing in his first message to the lsw-making body. Besides the two governors, many prominent and influential men of South Carolina are also . behind the movement for a State building ; e.i Jamestown.-Virginian Pilct Coming to Shoot Ducks.

Shelton was convicted of the murder of his father-in-law and I thc papers ?-jr an appeal -to trie su i preme court were not filed in time, according to the rules.- Mr. C. P. Sims of Spartanburg afterwards took up the case and he asked for the respite in order to give the pardon board time to look into the evidence. The board decided yesterday that no petition of any nature would be considered hereafter unless they should have been filed two weeks in advance of the meeting. In both the Adams and Shelton cases the papers came in at the last moment and al? though the board does not state that the attorneys are io blaine in either case they felt that some time limit must be set as in all other legal pro? ceedings.

The suggestion made by the News and Courier that a series of automo? bile races be held at the Isle of Palms meets with a hearty second from "Tom" Jenkins, who made the run to Summerville last Saturday and with his 20-horse Reo beat every? thing on the road for style and speed. He would like to devote the gate re? ceipts, however, to the purchase of a car for the Hon. James Cosgrove so that he might keep a closer eye on the condition of the highways in this county. It would probably be better to have the legislature pass a special act requiring Mr. Cosgrove to walk over the roads at least once a quar? ter so that he might know more about them than he would find out riding in a well-cushioned machine. What? ever shall be done with the gate money the races at the Isle of Palms ought to be held, and we would suggest that Mr. Philip H. Gadsden arrange for the events.-News and Courier. , ACT QUICKLY.

Com pu kory Vaccination. -Acting under orders from the State board of health and from the local health authorities and the city coun? cil, Health Officer Readon began on Saturday to vaccinate in the mills, factories, schools and other places where other -crowds of people are congregated. A systematic census was taken just before the Christmas holidays in most of the factories and mills, but the closing down of these places and the schools for Christmas holidays inter- j rupted the work. Dr. George R. Dean of the State 1 board of health is in charge of the compulsory vaccination crusade over the entire State. He personally comes to any place and with the as? sistance of a prosecuting attorney, looks after the prosecution of all who resist vaccination. In - Greenville county a few days ago two mill ope? ratives were arrested, fined and vacci? nated before a magistrate for resist? ing vaccination. Dr. Dean and a pros? ecuting attorney of the State being present to see that the law was en? forced. Xo opposition to vaccination has been met with in Sumter, and the census of the various places where labor is congregated shows, so far, that over 90 per cent of Sumter's population has been successfully vac? cinated within seven years. A number were vaccinated before j Christmas, about 250 people in all. , j -. . NEGRO MILLIONAIRE/' j He Says the President Did Right in j Dismissing Xegro Troops. Larchmount, X. Y., Dec. 31.-Thos. j Harris, of Larchmount, widely known as the '"negro millionaire," who has received at least 200 letters from col? ored societies throughout the United States, asking his opinion as to Pres? ident Roosevelt's recent action in dis? missing the three companies of color? ed infantry andreenesting his signa? ture to a pe:":: .. : > have the dis? missed: soldier- : :-:-ted, announced today that, a:..:- . . "ling the testimo? ny of both sides, he is compelled to j stand by the president. ! "I was born in the south," said j ! Harris, "understand the southern ne? gro question and despite this, I be? lieve Mr. Roosevelt exercised good judgment and did what I would have done under similar circumstances. I have refused to sign the petition for reinstatement." Harris is forty years old, and is conservatively estimated to be worth $200,0?)0, which he made in business and real estate speculation in aristo? cratic Larchmount. During tho year 1906 three new cotton mills were organized with a total capital of $700,000 and nine mills have increased their capital stocks from a total of $1,692,500 to $3,220,000. It is said that were tlier? more laborers available more mills and enlargements would have b'-en. undertaken.

When Buying' a Fence The weight per rod and size of wire must be taken into considera tion : also the CONSTRUC tion of the FENCE. Heavy wires and the best galvanizing are always used on the AMERICAN, and the quan? tity already in service on farms is good evi? dence of its merit. The HINGE JOINT on the American allows for CONTRACTION and EXPANSION, to with? stand sudden and severe pressure from contact with animals, without bendings stays, the fence springing back to place the instant pressure is removed. The most secure, lasting fence is the AMER? ICAN. Sold by CAROLINA HARDWARE CO.
