Senate Refuses to Heed the Requests Of Southern Members to Share a Little In the Largess. Washington. June 28.?Southern senators today Ineffectually endeavor? ed to take long staple or Egyptian dev. >n off the tree list and to place upon It a duty of 4 cents a pound, which Senator Bacon, the author of the amendment, declared was a reve? nue duty only. As a means of revenue, he said, the 210.000 bales of Egyptian cotton Im? ported Into the United Slates annually should not be overlooked. Mr. Bacon estimated that the low duty proposed bi him In ten years would bring into ths treasry $40,000,000. The fact thai this olaes of cotton Is used In the mak? ing of lacee and high-grade goods, on which the duties hod been Increased in the pending bill. Mr. Bacon said, was an assurance that the duty would not add to the prices or the articles made from the long staple product Senators Tallaferro end Fletcher of Florida declared that the people of their State wented the duty on Ions; staple cotton and Mr. Tallaferro ad? mitted that they wanted it for the protection of the sea-Island cotton In? dustry. By a viva voce vote the amendment to remove long staple cot? ton from the free list was rejected. AIGRETTE .PUT:VIES. The White Badge of Cruelty. No form of feether adornment has been and Is more harmful In Its ef? fects than the waring o! "aigrettes" or herons' plumes. These dainty, graceful feathers, unlike he distorted skin of some poor humming bird or warbler, carry with them no sugges? tion of den'h. and m.t.ij a woman en **ho*c bonn it they er-? plsced Is whol 1 * Ignorant if the unspeeVa^e cruel y the taking of these fea;hc:s entails. If each plume could tell Its o*n sad history, every humane woman In the land would raise her voles In protest against a feehlon which threatens with extinction one of the most beau? tiful of entmeted creetur? s. Aigrette plumes constitute the wod ding dress of the several species of white herons or egrets, and ere worn only during the nesting season. The birds ere exceedingly soolftble In dis? position, and, when breeding, gather In colonies or rookeries, often con? taining hundreds of pairs. The plume hunter, armed, prefe ably with the smell rifle, shoots the parent birds as they return with the fc-od for their young. The bird falls, the slight report of the rifle does not alarm others that soon follow, and within a few days most of the ; ar ?nts ha\o been killed, while th? nest? lings, lacking their care, die ot star vstlon. The method Is simple?any boy. with a gun can become a plume hun? ter?but so effective that at the pres? ent rate of destruction the herons will soon succumb to it. A Florida plume hunter once told the writer that with two or three assistants he hsd killed S00 egrets in one after? noon; another boasted that he and hb party had killed 130.000 birds, most? ly plume birds, during one season. Having practically exterminated the egrets In Florida, plume hunters have turned their attention to other part* of ths birds' range; advertising In lo? cal papers, offering large prices to na? tive hunters, and organizing expedl Hons to explore the coasts and inland marshes, from our southern bound? aries to the Argentine Republic. To prevent the killing of birds throughout this great region is ob? viously impossible, and laws which alone prohibit their destruction are valueless. Until, therefore, laws are r-assed forbidding the wearing of aigrettes, the salvation of the heron? rests solely In woman's hands. Can any humane woman, knowin-j these facts, wear In her bonnet this \Vhlte Badge of Cruelty?undeniable evidenee of her approval of merciless "laughter and Indescribable suffering? --Krank M.

THE "SOITHHOUND" GETS BUSY. No Time to be Lost In Construe tin;: Iloari from VYiiiston-Salem to Wadesboro. Wlnston-Salem, June 28.?Chief Engineer Cornell, of the Wlnston Salem Southbound Railway Company, was this afternoon Instructed by the director:} to advertise for bids, to? be received during July for the construc? tion of the road. President H. E. Fries announced that, barring trouble with rights of way In Davidson Coun? ty, the road would be nearly, If not entirely completed within twelve months. C. S. Churchill, chief engineer of the Norfolk and Western, was present, and said his company would have active charge of the construction work. He has looked over the plans and found them good. More than twelve contractors will be Invited to tld. Three years ago nearly half a million In bonds was voted, but these have expired and no local subscrip? tions or bond Issues will be asked. President Fries said that the Norfolk and Western and the Atlatlc Coast Line woidd likely desire a reorganiza? tion of the company, poaslbly In the near futire, and that this would be done whenever desirable. For the present.however, the same officers will continue et the head of the company. W. T. Brown Is vice president, and W. F. Shaffner Is secretary and treas? urer. The report of the president was accepted and ordered filed, and the di ctors passed a resolution approving all the acts of the president and exe? cutive committee. The people here express the greatest satisfaction tha< the road in to be built so soon. SNOOTING EGRETS. By a Georgetown White Man, Assisted By a Nefro Will bo Prosecuted. Mr. James Henry Rt?4, Jr., Secre? tary of the South Carolina Audubon Society, two weeks ago, was notified that two plume hunters were at work near McClellanvllle, shoooting the herons In order to obtain their plumes for which milliners pay big prices. So about midnight Monday, Warden L. A. Beck man of McClellanvllle. learned that poachers were at the preserves of the Saxttee Oun Club, the only col? ony of American Egrets known to exist north of Florida, hence the birds are afforded the strictest protection by the culb authorities. Warden Beckman, desiring to apprehend these hunters, summoned two men to aid him, and went to the scene of trouble, though he did not catch the men, his two ns^t'tn its saw them shooting and picking ui? the dead birds and recog? nized the men as Arthur I^arnbert. ahl e. and Robert Gree.i colored. Securing a warrant for Lambert md Green at McClellanvllle, Warden Beckman tried to arrest them on the beat which was bound for this city, tut which the captain refused to al? low, so the constable concluded to take the trip up with the men he wanted, and arrest them in this city with a warrant obtained here. When he boat arrived In Sampit river,. op? posite the Wlnyah Lumber Company'* mill, Lambert seized a life preserver and jumped overboard, making good his escape. Warrants were placed in the hands of Deputy Shsri.T an fi n en was ai rested and lodged In Jail. The Sher? iff Is using every effort to apprehend Lambert, and there Is every* likeli? hood that he too will be captured. Society Editor's Version. A brilliant fire was held at high noon today at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. No. 376 Dash street, says a writer in the Bohemian. A large ??.umber of persons were In atten. rlgnce. Mrs. Smith made a charmins escape In one of the season's latest kimonos. It Was of pure china 3ilk tvith a pretty flower effect; ankle ngth and gored in the back. It can bo made with slight expense, and is i i v pretty, The smiths have n love? ly home, and it it too had that It was burned so badly, The firemen wt e becomingly garbed in blue .^uits and full-cut red blouses. The weather delightful for an affair of tin kind, The efforts of a big man with i horn was ;i pteaslng feature. Mr Smith was not present* He was in \? \v York city, .is was mentioned in Our coming-nnd-golng column today. Th? re was lots of excitement. Aft if awhile the fir** was put out. Because <?:' th?> fire Mrs. Junes of No. 374 Dash ?tree! opened her house for Mrs. Smith and her two children, one a bright little boy Of S, and the other a lOVOly K\r\ Of "). The expression was hoard upon all sides that It was a most successful event, Somebody sai.i thai the affair would cost $2.000. LjOnnlC GarrlOk, who lives In Co? lumbia, was accidentally shot by his brother, H. S. (larrlek. The wounded man is now in the Columbia Hospital, the bullet, which Is thought to have lodged in the femoral artery, has not been located yet. Mr. H. S. Garrlck says he pulled the trigger of an old rusty pistol not thinking that it would explode, but it did explode, striking his brother in the thigh. TYPHOID FEVER SITUATION. THE FACTS CONTRADICT EXAG? GERATED AND DAMAGING RE? PORTS. There Are But Fifteen Cases in Slim? ier and Six of These Are Patients in Hospitals Who Were Brought Hero For Treatment From Other Towns. The attention of the Sumter County Medical Association having been call? ed to the exaggerated reports In cir? culation regarding the typhoid fever situation in Sumter, the Association in? structed the secretary to ascertain and report the number of ccses of typhoid fever in the city, and If possible the mode of infection. His report is as follows: "I find that there are under treat? ment In Sumter today 15 cases of ty? phoid fever. Of these 9 cases are residents of Sumter, and 6 have been brought from neighboring towns to the hospitals here for treatment. In 7 of the 9 cases among residents, we have been able to trace the source of Infection to points outside the city, and in the other two cases the source of infection has not yet been determined. Secretary Sumter Co. Medical Asso. Women and Enthusiasms. Better than social worker, though her work Is lasting, better than mili? tant reformer, though her shrill cru? sade is often useful, are ways and works of the qulet-volced unknown women. May their days be long in the land. These women go softly all their years, and only the census-tak? er hears their names. High are the virtues of the simple woman who Is able to be glad when a new book by Kipling Is brought home, to find a keen pleasure In an afternoon's trol? ley excursion, one who is willing to go miles to hear a new lecturer, preacher, play. There is something momentarily attractive In the attl tule of a man or woman who has tasted of so much experience as to be slightly tired and always aware of the next move. But live with one of them, and you will be Inundated with fatigue and sadness. Each year men like a little better In their friends a freshness of emotional life, a capacity for new enthusiasms, an unwearied and sestful approach to tomorrow and the next day. To reach life at many points of contact?all of them unfatlgued and unsullied?that U more wonderful than to take cities or capture votes.?Collier's. Must Be One or the Ol her. The Commoner says Senator Elk lac has invented a neu phrase which is likely to be used quite frequently in the next campaign. He applies the name "spotted protectionists" to those who want a high tariff on things sold by their constituents and a low tariff on things bought by their constituents. His criticism is en? tirely justified?a man who want? protection must give protection. It can not be one-sided. The "spotted protectionist" is as inconsistent as the "spotted tariff reformer." The spots are, as In the case of deer, a sign of youth. They will come off after a while. A man must be all protec? tion or all reformer?he cannot be hilf and half. If the South Caroli? na. Congressman votes to protect lumber because some of It Is pro diced in his State, he can't consistly refuse to vote to protect the products of other States. To be consistent, he must vote so protect the wool grow? ers., the sugar cane growers, and all other interests that may want pro? tection. After all these interests are protected they plunder the people of So Jth Carolina out of millions of dol? lars, while the tax on lumber does no: help them at all as nearly all the timber In the South is owned by the lumber trusts and not the people.? Times and Democrat. Heck Twain's Tip to Girls. Mark Twain went to Baltimore the other day to attend the commence? ment exercises of st. Timothy's School For Toung Women. Follow? ing Edward F. Martin of New York. Mr. Clemens said that as Mr. Martin had advised the girls as to what they should do he could only tell them what they should not do. "There are three things, young la? dies, I advise you not to do," he said. ?Don't smoke?that Is. don't smoke to exeess.
