FOR COLORED YOUTH.
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL TO BE
BUILT AT CHARLESTON.
Chairman Simons Says He Does Not
Know Just When New Institution
Will be Opened?School Will Oc?
cupy Whole Block?Next to Old
Folks' Home.
A site was provided today for the
proposed industrial school for colored
youths, to be operated In connection
with the city school system, in the
conveyance of six lots on President
street, which with the city lot on the
northwest corner of President and
Fishburne, also to be deeded, will
give a whole block, extending to Sum
ter street for the establishment of the
school.
The scheme of providing an Indus?
trial school has been under consider?
ation for some time, but the board of
commissioners has been working
quietly. Even today, President James
Simons, of the school board, had no
statement to make regarding the
plans, but admitted that the six lots
had been bought on President street
and the board would probably also
be given the city lot, mak ng the
complete street frontage for the
school. As to the time when the ac?
tual erection of the establishment will
b ? begun and the charter of the In?
dustrial school, Mr. Simons was not
prepared to say anything. "Until we
get the money, we can't tell what we
are going to do," said Mr. Simons,
so, it will probably be some time
before the school is erected and put
to use.
It Is known that a short time ago,
through the efforts of Mr. Simons
*nd Prof. W. K. Pate, assistant sup?
erintendent of schools, the sum of
110.000 was secured In the North to
be used for the proposed school. The
board counts upon additions to this
Fund before starting the work of con
itructlng the school, and it is certain
that it will be at least a year or more
before the school is erected and
equipped.
The placing of the Institution in the
northwestern section of the city, ad
Iclnlng the Ashley River Asylum, oth?
erwise known as the "Old Folks
Home," will meet with the satisfac?
tion of the general public In that it
will put the colored Institute next to
the home for colored people and by
segregation avoid any possible annoy?
ances which might attach, were the
colored school placed more in the
heart of the city.
The board of commissioners recent?
ly completed the M.tchell school, the
new up-town school for white child?
ren, and the Industrial Institution is
now to be established for the color?
ed children.
EXPERIMENT FARM NEEDED.
Clarendon Planters Decide to Take
Up Matter With Government.
Manning, July 16.?The general en?
thusiasm that was evidenced at the
faimers" meeting held at this place
yesterday to hear scientific discus?
sions of agricultural topics, did not
subside when the meeting adjourned.
The several experts who came here to
address the meeting continued to dis?
cuss the meeting after the farm?
ers had adjourned and left for their
homes. They were all delighted with
the size of the gathering and the
murked interest manifested in the
tuples discussed. Prof. Harper said it
v. :i? decidedly the best farmers' meet?
ing that he had attended in this State,
and Inquired specifically as to how
the meeting waa advertised and what
means were used to ensure such a
satisfactory attendance, saying he
wished to recommend the same plan
to other communities where such
n:? etings may be contemplated.
As a further evidence of the enthu?
siasm and unity of sentiment in the
town and county, the Manning board
of trade today adopted a preamble
:md resolutions as supplementary ol
those adopted at the farmers' meet?
ing, and which were published in The
News and Courier this morning. It la
expected that the committee appoint?
ed to confer with the officials of the
agricultural department In Washing?
ton will leave on that mission in com?
pany with Commissioner Watson ear?
ly next week, and they hope to have
Representative Lever, who is a mem?
ber of the house committee on agri?
culture, to personally aid them ir
furthering the object they hav-a 1?
rlew, It Is hoped that this new
move on the part of Clarendon Coun<
ty will be the beginning of a bettel
state of affairs among the tohaccc
pioducers In South Carolina.
In the resolution adopted by ihn
board of trade, a site of at least fif
teen acres was guaranteed for an ex?
periment station, and a commute?
was appointed to take up the mattei
with the department of agriculturt
and with the senators and represunta
tlves of this State.

TAFTS CORPORATION TAX.
President Would Not Consent to
Striking Out Amendment When
Urged by House Conferees?Rela?
tions Not Pleasunt.
Washington, July 15.?Slight, but
unmistakable evidences of friction be?
tween the President and the con?
ferees in the tariff bill today began to
disturb the hitherto pleasant relations
existing between the White Housej
and the Capitol. *^
The last effort has been made by
conferees to induce the President to
consent to the striking out of the
corporation tax amendment without
success. The President not only told
Senator Aldrlch and Chairman Payne
that he would not only withdraw
from the position in favor of this tax,
but that he was assured of sufficient
votes to keep the provision in the
bill and to insure its adoption in
both Houses. ?
Pains were taken at the White
House today to make it plain that
President Taft did not send for
Messrs. Aldrlch and Payne on the oc?
casion of last night's conference, des?
pite the intimation given out in legis?
lative circles that these two leade s
had been summoned by Mr. Taft up?
on word reaching his ears that the
f corporation tax was about to be
dashed to pieces on the rocks.
In his talks with the Senate confer?
ees regarding the bill President Taft
has been met with the statement that
while the conferees would be glad to
do all in their power to carry out
his wishes with respect to certain
schedules, they stand pledged to cer?
tain of their colleagues In the Senate,
whose constituents are particularly
interested in the items under consid?
eration and cannot alter their posi?
tion in support of the Senate rates un?
til released from the pledges giv?
en.
The conferees have suggested to
the President that he send personally
for the Senators to whom the pledges
to stand firm were given. The Presi?
dent, it Is declared, has adopted this
suggestion.
All of those newly discovered facts
have revived the talk of a possible
veto by President Taft when the bill
reaches him.
The President has indicated to the
conferees that he is particularly in?
terested in securing free hides, free
oil, free coal and a material reduction
in the lumber schedule. He also has
expressed his Interest in other sched?
ules which have to do with the ne?s
sarles of life.

CAPITAL ROAD INDORSED.
Columbia Chamber of Comercc Likes
The Imposition?Other Matters of
Interest.
Columbia, July 16.?At the meet?
ing of the executive committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, President!
Walker read a letter from Mr. Leon
arc1 Tufts In which the latter men- j
tioned having had conferences with
Mr. Bennett, managing editor of the
. Vashington Post, and with Editor j
Potts of the Richmond Times-D!s
patch. Theue papers are actively en-j
gaged with The State in the effort to
enlist the interest of other papers on
the line of the proposed Capital high?
way from Washington to Jackson?
ville, via Augusta, and to Savannah.
A representative of the Chamber of
Commerce will next week visit Wash?
ington for a conference with Mr.
Bennett and Secretary Frank Weld
on, relative to the matter of getting
the different papers to run cars over
the entire route south from Washing?
ton with a view to creating greater
interest in the project, and to secure
accurate data along the line.
The idea is for each paper to fur?
nish an automobile and join in the
tcur from Washington or some other
point north of there to Jacksonville
and return in October.
It is also contemplated in this plan
of procedure to hold a meeting at
some point along the line, preferably
a: Columbia, and organize an endur?
ance test, the latter to be held prob?
ably some time in December or Jan?
uary.
The meeting of the committee yes?
terday decided to extend the visiting
cars, which are to be real pathfinders,
a warm and cordial welcome and re?
ception.
The committee also passed a reso?
lution Indorsing the efforts of Insur?
ance Commissioner McM aster tow?
ards securing lower insurance rates
for Columbia. The president of the
Chamber of Commerce was author?
ized to communicate with Mayor
Reamer with a view to the better en?
forcement of the building laws of Co?
lumbia.
The commltttee also decided to
take up with the Chamber of Com?
merce of the City of Camden the mat?
tet of the supervisor of Kershaw
County going to work to build a road
from Camden to the county line to
meet Supervisor Owens of Rlchland
on his "Two-Notch" road at the
county line.

COTTON DECLINES.
Temporary Recovery Followed by
Another Slump, Close Heing Week
At Day's Lowest Level.
New York, July 15.?The reaction?
ary movement continued in the cot?
ton market today as a result of fur
ther realizing or liquidation, and the
close was weak at a net decline of 20
to 28 points.
The market opened easy at a de?
cline of 6 to 17 points and sold 14
to 17 points net lower right after the
call under liquidation and local bear
pressure, which was promoted by ex?
pectations of a break in the Texas
drought and easier late cables. There
was good buying at the decline, and
with the western belt forecast hold?
ing out no prospect for imn. ;diate
rains in Texas beyond showers in the
northwest, prices rallied during the
late forenoon within 6 or 7 points of
last night's finals, only to weaken
again under a renewal of heavy selling
for long account, and private wires
from New Orleans reporting that the
wind had shifted in a manner to sug?
gest a breaking of the Texas drought
before the end of the week. The mar?
ket reached the lowest point of the day
during the last few minutes and
ciosed without any rally. Some of the
large spot Interests were selling dur?
ing the day and it was reported that
the interior was offering new crops
more freely at the 12 cent level. De?
tailed weather reports showed no pre?
cipitation in Texas during the past 24
hours and temperatures were as high
as ever, ranging from l&O to 106 de?
grees at 21 stations, but the forecast
for partly cloudy weather suggested
lower temperatures.
Receipts at the ports today 6,816
bales against 846 last week and 1,888
last year. For the week 2.0..&O0 bales
against 18,897 last week and 25,504
last year. Today's reecipta at New
Orleans 187 bales against 327 last
year, and at Houston 1,473 bales
against 738 fast year.
