Sunday afternoon were trery fortunate in hearing an inter? esting and instructive address by Mr. Hugh C. Haynsworth on the life of Moses. There were a large number of men and boys present who heard what Mr. Haynsworth had to say with the greatest interest and attention. The speaker told of the life of Moses from the time of his birth during a time of fearful conditions and amid the darkest hours of the Jewish race and pictured him as the greatest of old testament characters and, probably, the greatest man next to the Christ. He pictured in eloquent terms his magnificent character, when called by Jehovah out of the desert to lead a nation of two million persons, from the bonds of slavery and without any time for organisation, forth through it less dangers to a promised land, that without any hope of reward for himself. ?tj Dedlt >f lawi and his writings have stood the test of thousands of years und have come down to the present time as the greatest of any man" said the speaker.

WIND STORM IN IIORRV. One tanner's Supply of IVi-tIll/or Rlp|Hil I'roin Sacks ami Scattered Kvesf wlssns, Mttlllns, March 17?Reports from Jordanvllle, Horry county, 20 miles from Mulllns, tell uf a fearful storm that visited that section late Satur? day afternoon. At h ast one person is dead and many others are more or less seriously injured as the re? sult, wide hundreds of buildings sere blown to atoms, and horses, eows an.1 other stock are paid to have been killed. One f irmer had this years' supply of fertiliser, which was piled under a shed, entirely destroyed The th ree wind ripped open the sacks and blew the costly mal? rial in every direction. Kverv building on tin- place, includ? ing his home, is said to have been leveled Io Ihe ground.

CLEVER NEW YORK THIEVES STEAL OVER $250,000. Gain Access to Richly Stocked Vaults of Pawnbroker by Means of Tunnel Crom Adjoining building*. X. w York. March 16.?An Hast Side burglary, perpetrated by clever cracksmen iome time today, netted the thieves the largest haul obtained in new Yetk city in many years. Martin Simons A Son, pawn brokers In Hester street, were the victims, and the property stolen Includes $260,000 worth of Jewelry, diamonds and other precious it0nes, and $50,000 worth of negotiable securities. The thieves gained access to the pawn brokers' richly stocked vaults by means of a tunnel from an abutting building on a neighboring Street, They made a clean get-away with their valuable loot. Th a. police are of the opinion that six cracksmen were employed on the job and that the tunneling required all of last night and the greater part of Sunday morning, H Is their be? lief thut the actual robbery took place this afternoon while hundreds of persons were passing along the street in front of the pawn shop The police found that the lunii I was begun In the cellar of a house in Bldrldge street., directly adjoining Simons' place. It was driven through the wall Of the Bldrldge street house and Into the wood bin in the cellar of the Simons store. There, leading up Into the pawn brokers' shop, is a Might of stairs. They are wired for a burglar alarm, however, and the thieves avoided them and sawed away the overhead Mooring at a spot directly In front of the treasure vault. The vault, which stands 12 feet high and is built Into the wall, was entered by ( hopping away the masonry. Later $4i?,0i>0 of the negotiable se curltlea were found scattered on the Moor of the vault, but about $50,000 were missing, the robbers evidently having been afraid to take them, owing to the risk of detection In their disposal. Another thing that seems to point tu the up-to-date business acumen of the looters was that they left behind in the litter about the vault there pairs of gloves. The police are of the opinion that the cracksmen wore gloves In robbing the vault, realizing the extent to which the linger print bureau of the police department Is capable of going into detecting crooks who leave impressions of their lin? gers at the scene of their crimes. The burglars were well prepared for their task. In the pawn shop they left all the paraphernalia they had used In breaching the wall, cutting through the Moor and hammering their way through the brick and masonry of the vault. When Simons and his son reached the pawn shop and made a haaty in? ventory they declared the loot taken e asily wa.s worth $250,000, and that probably its value would exceed that figure. TILLMAN AND SMITH PLACED. Senior Senator Is Chairman of Naval Affairs Willie Junior Heads Com? mittee on immigration. Washington, March 15.?Senator Tilltnan's selection to head the naval affairs committee will no doubt be a distinc t pleasure to many cities, where navy yards are located. He has always been a friend of the Char? leston station, even though he waH not Chairman Of this committee, and now that he will head it, he is in even a better place still to safeguard Its interests. Immediately after the formal ac? tion taken today Senator Tlllman had his secretary, J. B. Knight, sworn in as cb rk, and hiH assistant secretary, Qranvllle Wyche. as assistant clerk. It is thus seer, that nc means to lose no time in assuming authority. He will probably move his committee room within the next few days. Sen? ator TlUman's other assignments are as follows: Appropriations, expendi? tures in the navy department Five Civilised tribes of Indians, forest re? servation and protection of game, mines and mining and private land claims.

Wright, former secretary of war; Charlemagne Tower, former ambassador to Gema ny; Nicholas Muray Butler, president of Columbia university, and other members of the board of trustees. The issuance of this Statement is the latest work of the society which was founded in 1910 by Andrew Car? negie when be endowed it with $10, 'HKi.ooo. it sets forth the "history of the various treaties that have been negotiated by tins country with Gieat. Britain regarding the building and Control of the Panama canal, it is de? clared. Quoting from the language of the several treaties between the countries, that it was tho purpose of the American government t<> construct and maintain the Panama canal for "the benefit of mankind on equal terms to all," and that all treaties on the subject are "based on this inten? tion and resolve many 'lines reiterated by official representatives of the American government." Continuing, the brochure gives t"he history of the negotiations of the treaty concluded on April 4, 1908, in Which it is stipulated that in the event of "difficulties arising of a legal na? ture or relating to the Interpretation of existing treaties these differences shall bo referred to tin- pemanent court of arbitration at The Hague*" and declares that "in a special sense the United States is bound to observe faithfully and without question "this treaty." it declares that the republic might to be "absolutely faithful to its word even to its own hurt."
