The Wrong Ox Gored. Acording to a dispatch from Water? town, N. Y., the ordering of the Twenty-fourth (colored) Infantry te Sacketts Harbor and Oswego to take the place of the Twenty-third Infant? ry has caused so much unfavorable comment in northern New York that Congressman Charles L. Knapp has gone to Washington to enter a pre? test to the war department against the sending of the colored troops thtre. *Tf necessary," reads the dispatch, he will go to Oyster Bay and haye a conference with President Roosevelt. Before starting for Washington he was in communication with Republi? can State Committeeman Col. John T. Mott of Oswego, and he will lend his influence, as feeling runs high there." Feeling ran high at Browns? ville, Texas, too, but the people there had to endure the unwelcome troops, and why should Sacketts Harbor or Oswego deserve more consider? ation? Alderman's Road Making Progress. The Alderman road from Alcolu to Beulah has been extended six miles "beyond Beulah, and is now completed to the river and will soon be ready for business. Just a little this , side of the river the Timmonsville Lumber Com? pany has a road laid for lumber, which mi.?ht easily be converted into something more pretentious and give Timmonsville the much coveted con? nection with Beulah and the Pudding swamp country. The Times is informed that Mr. Al? derman has recently placed an order for $65,000 worth of rails, which will surely take his road somewhere. He is planning a branch to Kingstree and is now having a telegraph wire erect? ed in that diction. It is about 2'; miles from Florence to the river, where this road crosses, level countrv with only two Avamps to cross, and a fine country for build? ing a road through. The people are anxious for it and would help the instruction, if somebody would take it up.-Florence Times. RIOT IX PHILADELPHIA. Increase in Price of Meats By Kosher | Butchers Cau**'s Uproar in Jewish Quarter. Philadelphia, Pa., July 25.-Smash? ing windows, upsetting showcases, hurling entire stocks of Kosher meat dealers into the streets and soaking them with kerosene and severely beating many persons, a mob of thousands of women swept the Jew? ish quarter today and it was several hours before the police were able to cope with the situation.

A Charleston special says: The standing committees of 26 dio? ceses have reported favorably on the election of Rev. Dr. W. A. Guerry as bishop coadjutor of the diocese of South Carolina to which he was elect edrecently by the council of the Epis? copal church. There remain only six more reports to reach the hands of Secretary W. C. Bissell, of the standing committee of the South Carolina diocese, when a majority will have been secured, and the head bishop, Right Rev. Dr. Tut? tle, of Missouri, will then be in a po? sition, according to the procedure of the Episcopal church, to sound the several bishops on the choice of the South Carolina council. When a majority of the bishops have reported to Bishop Tuttle, he will then instruct Bishop Capers or some other bishop if Bishop Capers is then unable to officiate, to proceed with the consecration of the bishop coadjutor. A singular feature of the reports of the standing committees is found in the prompt response of distant di? oceses and delay in the reply of the nearby dioceses. For instance, re? plies have been received from Colo? rado, Nebraska, western Texas, Mas? sachusetts and other places, while Florida and Alabama are yet to make a report It is desired to have reports as soon as possible that the nomination of Bishop-elect Guenw may be con? firmed that he may discharge the du? ties of the office. Bishop Capers is unable to attend to the affairs of the diocese and the need is pressing for the consecration and installation of Dr. Guerry that he may take up the work. Many matters are pending, and the business is daily getting more, congested. The longer there is delay, the more accumulated and congested the affairs become. Only this week the ordination of Rev. W. W. Memminger. of St. Paul's church, had to be deferred and the postpone? ment of the ceremonies" and business matters are of daily occurrence on account of the extreme illness of Bish? op Capers. The need of a bishop co? adjutor was never more pressing, and there is a great volume of business for this official to dispose, as soon as he is consecrated and installed.

Judge Dantzler Renders Important Decision-Holds That the Commis? sion Has Not Power to Exercise Legislative Authority. Columbia. July 24.-Judge Dantzler has rendered a decision in a case heard before him at the recent term of Common Pleas Court for Richland county, which practically nullifies |he rules and regulations of the railroad commission, the decision holding that the commission has not the power to exercise legislative authority. The case will be taken to the Supreme Court and the railroad commission will probably request the attorney general to intervene in the commis? sion's behalf. Mr. Paul W. Cross, who dees busi? ness at Lykeland, in this county, brought suit against the Atlantic Coast Line. Two causes of action were set forth in the complaint. The first was based on the rule of the railroad commission in regard to de? murrage, which is as follows: "For each day or a fraction of a day's de? lay after the expiration of free time the road offending shall forfeit and pay *o the shipper* the sum of $1 per car per day Any shipper, comdguee or owner, to avail himself of any for? feiture provided for in these rules, must make his application in writing, and to facilitate the making of such application the several railroads of the State shall provide suitable blanks for that purpose to be kept at all agencies." It was claimed that there was a delay of 30 davs in securing this car and that the railroad under this rule was therefore due the ship ! per $30. The second cause of action ! set forth that the lumber to be ship? ped was damaged by exposure inci? dent to the delay. The case was tried before Magistrate Fowles, of Colum? bia, who ga^e a verdict for the plain I tiff in the sum of .$55. The railroad. I through its attorneys. Messrs. Barron. Moore & Barron, took an appeal to j the Circuit Court, alleging that any ? rule prescribing a penalty is illegal an? unconstitutional whether the rail? road commission gets its authority : from the legislature "or not, and that any rule or regulation of the railroad ! commission prescribing a penalty is within itself ar exercise of a iegisla I tive function, which is not and can j not be delegated to said commission, i Judge Dantzler sustained the appeal j and modified the judgment of the magistrate.. reducing the amount $30 and allowing the plaintiff barely the amount given as damages. In the trial of the case Mr. Cross was rep? resented bj- Mr. James S. Vernen If the Supreme Court sustains this decision the authority of the railroad commission will be very much affect? ed, since under the authority delegat i ed to the commission by the legisla I turc a large number of rules and reg I ulations have been made by the com? mission governing the railroad busi? ness in this State. In Section 2,116 and the subsequent sections of the code the legislature has provided pen? alties ofr the violation of the commis? sion's rules and regulations and this I case affects all such rules, having a ? broader application than the rule as ! to demurage. The commission con ! siders that it is a very serious matter, j -News and Courier. "Nearly all old-fashioned cough syrups are constipating. especially those that contain opiates.

Clay Recommended to War De? partment That Action be Taken Looking to Calling in of all Gov? ernment Property at Clemson and Abandonment of Military Work. Washington, July 24.-It has been rumored here for several days that Clemson College might lose its com? mandant hereafter, that all guns and military equipment, the property of the federal government, might be called in, and that lastly, the federal appropriation which the college is now receiving annually might be with? drawn. These rumors first came to the knowledge of this correspondent several days ago through people com? ing from South Carolina. As they stated it, Capt. Clay, the former com? mandant at Clemson, became dissat? isfied with the way things were going there, especially because of the fact that the night before the last com? mencement several members of the graduating class acted in a way that did not suit him. He thereupon demanded of the fac? ulty of the college that the diplomas of the members of the class be with? held. This the faculty declined to do. With this in mind the News and Courier correspondent today went to the war department and saw Adjt. Gen.Ainsworth concerning the matter. It was learned that Capt. Clay, after his detachment from Clemson, made a report to the department in which he recommended that action be taken looking to the calling in of all gov? ernment property, etc., and abandon? ing the military feature of this col? lege. Gen. Ainsworth, in the ab? sence of both Secretary Taft and As? sistant Secretary Oliver, absent on va? cations, will probably take no action in the matte]*. While declining to go into the case fully with this corres? pondent, Gen. Ainsworth intimated that the outlook so far as continuing the military features at Clemson was not good. Just what definite action will be taken regarding Capt. Clay's report he would not say.-*-Xews and Courier. _I Stimulation without Irritation. *That i% the watchword.

The misconduct of the students at Clemson College aye the misconduct of the faculty in permitting that of the students, shows a wretched con? dition of affairs, and a lack of discip? line that is a disgrace to any institu? tion calling itself military. It is natu? ral that Capt. Clay resigned, and it will be very strange if the president permits another officer to be assigned to an institution where he is liable to be treated with such contumely. We do not know what the board of visitors will do about the matter, or what authority they have in the premises, it is evident that the facul? ty are an incompetent set of men, in? capable of handling a large number of boys: and if the reports- are true they should be disciplined as well as | the boys. The difficulty is that Clemson Col? lege is more or less a political insti? tution, founded, and fostered by poli? ticians to catch the farmers' vote. There was no need for tho institution when ? was ( stablished, but since it is there, and supported principally by the Stat?., it should be conductt-d-so as to be a credit, and not a discredit, to South Carolina.-Aiken Record.

A Hereford, Texas, special of re cent date says: Prof. T. L. Everly, an archaeologist and instructor in the Canadian col? lege, at this place, has discovered a buried city in Ochiltree county, 100 miles northwest of here, in the ex? treme northern part of the Panhan? dle. The appearance of a number of mounds upon what was otherwise a level plain, attracted Mr. Everly's at? tention, and he began investigations. His excavations have revealed'buried buildings, in which are human bones, ancient pottery, and stone utensils. The mounds are rectangular in shape, and their number shows that it was a city of only several thousand inhabi? tants. The character of the ruins in? dicates that they antedate the Aztcs cr Toltres. Mr. Everly will make further ex? cavations. G. B. Burhans Testifies After 4 Years *G. B. Burhans, of Carlisle Center, N.

The distance to the nearest fixed star is so tremedous that, like many of the facts of astronomy, it is beyond the grasp of the human imagination, though not beyond the reach of math? ematical demonstration. Light, which travels at a speed of 186,000 miles in a single second of time, takes over four years to reach us from the near? est star. The thread spun by a spider is so excessively fine that a pound of it would be long enough to reach around the earth. It would take ten pounds of it to reach the moon and over 3,000 pounds to stretch to the sun. But to get a thread long enough to reach the nearest star would re? quire half a million tons. If a rail? road could be built to this star and fare fixed at a cent a mile the total cost of the journey would be $250, 000,000,000 or more than sixty times the whole amount of coined gold in the world.
