"A groat life h.ix closed?a life upon
which tlie longer we linger the more
We see to love and revere." Thus be?
gins a famous eulogy el L'-e ami thu^
We think of him today. As time pas-,
aes the fame of Lee giows brighter.
We gdndre him f r the toweriug
strength of his character, we love him
lor his sweetness and gentleness, we
revere him as the repository of those
characteristics that evoke the devo?
tion an<l reverence of men.
? At tht? time of moral unrest a char?
acter like Lee's would be an immov?
able anchor?a character that was not
for sale at any price. In whatever
phase of life we contemplate Genera'.
Lee, the contemplation fills us with
admiration. We love to think of that
grand oil soldier and gentleman. Rob
tit Bdwird Lee. as he throws to the
nlnd*? the offer of the Commander
ehlp-in-C'hlef of the Union armies, ex
e aiming: "Virginians never Invade
Mrglnlu and it will be only over my
dead body that her enemies may pass
i Ithln her sacred preclnclts." But
ee admire him most when with brok
ea heart and everything lost but hon?
or he tearfully blesser his old com?
rades In arms and counsels loyalty to
t Mar country. We of the South may
joint wkh peculiar pride to Lee. the
greatest figure In, American history.
We sho ild love him for the lesson
that he teaches by his life: All great
character* have their foundation in
Truth a id without this there can be
Sothltig really lasting or substantial,
let the young hero-worshippers of our
country ake T*e as the object of their
devotion An emulation of his vir?
tues, while it may not make of every
* or<hlpg?er a Lee. will teach all of his
admirers to despise everything that Is
mean and low and make their stand?
ards those of greatness and truth.

t/ioral make-up that Induces one to

loyalty to God, re.lglon; loyalty to

truth, right. Few virtues are so com?
prehensive: none more beautiful In

loyalty In all of Its phases embraces
inan In all of the manifestations of

this paper Is the expression of the

MAYOR ANSWERS MINISTERS.
saw Ho Is r.nforclng Laws as "Well
As it is Urncticablo to do So.
The agitation against the present
methods of dealing with the "blind
tigers" and gambling Joints, begun by
V inisterlal Union. WSJ the subject
of considerable discussion yesterday,
and the future action of the Union
along this Um? will be awaited with in?
terest. Mayor Rhett, who is directly
charged with the enfmcement of all
laws and ordinances, says he is sat?
isfied with his position and maintains
that he is doing all In his power to en?
force the dispensary law, and that
good rebults have come of his sys?
tematic way of dealing with the whole
situation. He says the same thing of
the gambling Joints, but admits the
inability of the police department to
enforce the ordinance absolutely.
In speaking of the action of the
Ministerial Union yesterday Mayor
Rhett said:
"I am using my best efforts to sup?
press the Illegal sale of liquor and en?
force the dispensary law without dis?
crimination. If I could find a city of
ony size in which a prohibition law It
enforced to any extent, I would cer?
tainly visit it to learn its methods. I
have looked into the enforcement of
liquor laws in many cities and I think
that my system is the tfcst. I have
by systematic treatment reduced the
number of places where liquor Is sold
i \? i 60 per cent. I wish I could l}nd
a way to enforce this law and some
? tber laws absolutely, but as I can?
not I am doing the best I can. The
ministers will have to chnnge the sen?
timent of the community before I can
go any further.
"As far as gambling is concerned.
I am as much opposed to that evil
as any member of the Ministerial
Union, and I am doing all I can to
suppress It. As long as there are any
persons In the community who want
to gamble they are going to find a
way to gamble, and no police force in
the world Is going to stop them abso?
lutely. You can say that I am en?
deavoring to enforce every law to the
I I taut that I feel it to be practicable,
am' ' will continue to do ro as long
i am the mayor of the city."?The

CHARLESTON LIQUOR SITUATION.
On the invitation of the Rev. Dr.
Alexnmbr Sprunt, the president of
the Ministerial Union. Mayor Rhett
ar??d before the Union at a
special masting hold ysstorday for the
purpose of explaining his system of
enforcing the dispensary law and in
Ben ?ml to furnish the minlstsrs with
i rmation on the subject. The
? ? ting lasted two and a half hours.
OVST half of which time was taken up
y Meyor Rhitt In his statement as
to eon- hMoni here and as to his ulms
and endeavors, and while the Union
Id not take any action except to
ftdopt a vote of thnnkS to Mayor
Rhett for Ml presence, Dr. Sprunt
? aftSf the meeting that those
present were satisfied that Mayor
Rhett was doing all in his power to
enforce the law.
Tl meet in.: yesterday was the con?
tinuation of n meeting of the Union
ht 14 HM! week, at which time the en
lorcMimnt of the dispensary law was
discussed by the ministers at length
with speclul reference to what Is In
effect the system of "licensing" the
blind tlgen by compelling each OAS
I to pay a stated amount during the
year. After that meeting Dr, Bprunt
paid: "What the ministers of the city
want is an honest snforesmsnt of the
laws, Instand of the system?practi?
cally that of a license system?WhlOh
Is now being conducted.''
After Mayor Rhett had stated y<
t >rday the conditions as he conceives

A\ ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.
A Tentative plan Itinl the Tag Payers
of Sumtes Cannot Endorse,
Et Ii slated on reliable authority
that, dining (hi dlaOUtalon by city
OOUnoll of the proposition tQ erect I
building on Bail Liberty street for
tnv department headquarters, city of
BOW and prison, It was brought out
that there is a disposition on the part
of some members of council to erect
a somewhat expensive structure. The
plan siems to hi to put up a hug
three story building v.hich shall con?
tain quarti rs for two hose wagons,
i steamer, tyock auj ladder true1.:,
chief's buggy- a; .! stablei for horses
for all these Vthlcle ; apartments P>r
the firemen; .eon lor'* court room,
offices for city officials, council cham?
ber, and police headquarters and city
prison. Such a building would neces?
sitate a large outlay, estimate! rang?
ing from $20,000 to $10,000.
It wouUl doubtless be a fine thing
for the city to have a building of this
sort, but the question is not one of
desirability but of no sslty, There
ate two grounds o? objection to thi
i Kpenditurs proposed: The city docs
not need such a bulldingj and at pres?
ent cannot afford to sp n i . ven $20,
000, to say nothing of double that
?mount for something that is not an
absolute necessity. The city still owes
a large sum to the banks for money
borrowed to complete the sewerage
system and until this interest bearing
floating debt is paid the city is in n"
i ition to incur additional obliga?
tions. Eesldes, the need for better
Streets and side-walks Is more urgent
than any other public improvement.
If the city had the mo.,ey to spend
$200.000 could be used to advantage
in building a system of ?ood Streets.
Taxes are too high now and there is
too great need of money for legiti?
mate improvements for a single dol
lOf to be spent for fuss and feathers.
Everybody realizes that it is neces
lary to provide at once for adequate
quarters for the firs department and
no reasonable tax payer will raise his
voice in objection to this nee. ssary ex?
penditure, but this will not require
anything approaching $20,000, the
minimum estimate of the approximate
cost of the proposed "administration'*
building. A fire department building
is a reasonable proposition, for it is
i necessity, but the administration
building Is a horse of another color,
i ? which the taxpayers will not stand.
The city now has a city hall and
opera honet, that cost about $3S,ooo
n 1 it Stands on a lot worth not lass
than $15,000?representing an iuw.l
ment of $53,000, at the lowest esti?
mate. The Income from this invest?
ment is about $1,620 a y< ar, and the
city has the use of the council cham?
ber, the clerk and treasurer's olfice,
police office and guard house,
if ths plan is tarried nut to erect
an administration building the city
hall will cease to be i public bulld<
. nd as the income will not be ap?
preciably increased by the abandon4
ment Of the offices now used by the
city, the property will be a remarkably
poor Investment for the city?even
WO?se than it is now.
If the city Officials are In dire need
of more and larger offices it would he
hsapor to convert the store now 0C?
eupled by the firm of Ducker & Bult
m;-n into offlc-s. ri'his would reduce
the Income from the building by $120
Q \ear. but this would be less than the
annual Interest charge on the money
that would be invested In the proposed
new building.
In addition to all the above reasons
for objecting P> the administration
building proposition, there Is the fur
ther consideration that the cby Is
facing the probable reduction of it'
unnusl Income by 1)0,000 to $21,000
by the < nactmant of a state-wide pro?
hibltion law and ths abolition of the
income producing dispensary. The ab?
olition of the dispensary means re?
trenchment In all departments of the
dty government and higher tax?
With thi^ probability ahead Of ns, how
can the city council seriously oonfldsr
the expenditure of even $20,000 of
borrowed money on a building thai Is
not necessity?
There i-; no Immediate pause for
excitement among the taxpayersi how?
ever, for the city has not ths money
at hand to pay for the proposed build
in;? and to undertake to borrow the
am needed would be Illegal, without
?i \ submitting the matter to a vote
? !' tbs people to authorise a bond

Washington, Jan. h.?Friday w|ll
b< navy day at the president's cabinet
meeting If the preeent program is car?
ried out. Not only will questions per?
taining to the reorganization of the
navy be brought up before Secretary
Newberry and the entire cabinet, but
the special commission which the
president hgl called to meet at the
White Horse on that d iy will be pres?
ent and participate in the discussions.
This commission, it can be authori?
tatively strted tonight, for the first
time, will be made up as follows:
Secretary of the Navy Newberry
chairman.
Justice William H. Moody, former
Secretary of the Navy.
Paul Morton, former Secretary of
tho Navy.
Herbert L. Sattterleo, Assistant Sec?
retary o? the Navy.
Judge A. C. Dayton, judge of the
United States District Court of West
Virginia, and formerly chairman of
the House Committee on Naval Af?
fairs.
Rear-Admiral Stephen B. Luce (re?
tired), on special duty at the Naval
War College.
Etear-Admlral Alfred T. Mahan (re?
tired), on special duty at the Naval
War College.
Et ear-Admiral William M. Folger,
(retired), of Windsor Vt., former
chief of ordnance of the navy.
Commander William F. Fullam,
commandant of the Naval Training
Station, Newport, R. I., secretary of
the commission.
The commission will meet with Sec?
retary ?Newberry at 10 o'clock Friday
morning, and after a general discus?
sion of the subject of naval reorgani?
sation, accompany Mr. Newberry to
the cabinet meeting, according to the
present program. There the entire
subject will be discu.-sed in detail.
Following the meeting, the president
will have all the members of the com?
mission including Secretary Newberry
and possibly Secretary Ptoot, Attor?
ney General Bonaparte and Postmas?
ter General Meyer, with him at lunch?
eon. Following luncheon, another
meeting of the commission will Ik
held in the offices of Secretary New?
berry. At the first meeting in the
navy department, at the cabinet meet?
ing and at the luncheon, the time will
be devoted to discussions, but at the
last meeting of the day It Is expected
that some definite decisions will be
reached as to a plan for the actual
reorganization of the navy.
Two former secretaries of the na^y.
Justice Moody and Mr. Morton, will
be members of the c Immission. Two
Others, who have occupied the ofliee
lines their time?Attorney General
Bonaparte and Secretary Mctcaif?
have not been asked to participate.
Mr Bonaparte will participate in the
conference with the cabinet however,
by reason of his position as attorney
general. Rear-Admiral Evans was
asked by the president to be a member
of the commmisslon, but he begged to
be excused on acoount of his health.
T'. i p nee of Rear-Admiral Con
vt . . retired', president of the i: ?av.i
of i onstruction, at first was desired
by tile president, but it was decidl d
not to IndU le him, BO that the mem?
bership might be entirely free from
my present connections with the bu?
reau Chiefs of the navv departmnt.
While it is generally recognized by
navy officers that the commission is
a strong one, the fear is expressed that
some method may be adopted which
0
will be expensive to put in opratlon
and may not bring about the desired
results. The plan advanced by Sec?
retary Newberry seems to be thor?
oughly practicable, Staff officers re?
sent the fact that their branches are
not represented on the board.
The ti xt of the strenuous annual
physical test prescribed for all naval
officer* by the president was publish?
ed in general orders today, as fol?
lows:
"The physical tsst i. to be applied
to ail oiTiccrs on the active list of the

? u: :'a" . i night, charged v.-Ith
? . V ? s '. tlalnty Lowe, wife of
'? . : : . ie he me of L>we
about i . . fr ?m Alken, in the
Sie? ? Holl? v section.
Th arrests wore made as a result
if : n Inquest held yesterday afternoond
y Coroner Johnson and a post mor
ten examination conducted by a physi?
cian. Mrs. Lowe died last Sunday
night and was interred on Monday,
but on the request or Mrs. Counts of
Augusta, mother of Y.rs. Dwe. the
authorities had the oody disinterred^
yesterday and an Inquest held.
The evidence at the inquest showed
that Sunday night L iwe came to his
home, accompanied by Boyd, both in
a drunker, condition. During the night
?'If:cd Glover, a negro, heard a
rr an scream in Lowe I house and beg
for her life. Glover lives about 200
yards from the house. The screams
were also heard by other parties. Xext
morning the woman was found dead.
Mrs. Counts came over from Augusta t
nnd says that she found bruises on
Mrs. Lowe's throat and body and StSl
not satisfied as to her death. After
the burial she became so convinced
that something was wrong that she
came to Aiken and asked an investi?
gation.
Boyd and Lowe both testified to
coming to Lowe's house after drink-^l
ing. They said they retired soon after
arriving. During the night Boyd said
he went to Lowe's bed and called him
and told him to get up. that he had a
long ways to go his home and that he
must have an early start. Lowe got
up and when he looked at the clocks
he saw it was 3 o'clock and they went^
back to bed. Early Monday morning,
Lowe said, he called to his wife, who
was sleeping with him, and she did
not answer. He shook her ard found
that she was cold. He said he called
Boyd and they found her dead, with
one arm on the back of her neck. ^
When testifying Lowe Is said to
have almost broken down. The ex?
amining physician found bru sen on
her throat and body and found that
there had been sufficient extrenal vio?
lence to have produced death. A
The verdict of the jury of inquest"
was that the deceased came to her
de^ath from choking at the hands of
Lowe, as principal, and Boyd, as ac?
cessory.
The two men today staunchly main?
tained their innocence. Lowe is about
J") years of age and Boyd some years\
younger. Boyd is unmarried. Mrs.
Lowe was the mother of four little
children, the youngest of whom is
only seven months old, and was her?
self about 22 years old.
The case has created a good deal
of interest here, and any furtier de-"
velopmenti will be closely matched.
