July 4.?Majority members of the senate finance com? mittee today decided that all sched? ules of the new tariff bill except sugar and wool should become effective im? mediately after the enactment of the measure into law. Sugar, with the approval of the Democratic caucus, will be subject to the Payne-Aldrich rates until March 1, 1914. The committee tentatively agreed upon a date for the wool schedule, but did not announce it be? cause of a promise to confer with Senators Walsh and Thomas, who could not be reached today. The committee will confer with them to? morrow before th3 final session of the caucus. Additional revenue was provided for by the committee when it decid? ed, in view of the revenue tax on brandies used in fortifying sweet wines, to levy a revenue tax of 25 per cent ad valorem on what are known as "spurious wines," wines made from pummis and fortified with chemicals. Another change proposed relates to the clause prohibiting importation of t "Viet made goods. It was amend? ed so as to read that such goods be excluded from countries which do not "prohibit" convict labor. Originally the clause reau from countries which did not "restrict" convict labor. Chairman Simmons said today that he expected general debate on the bill to begin a week from Monday. He will report the measure probably next Wednesday and it is his opinion that the debate will be limited to five weeks. COURTS FAIR COMMITTEES.

Riotous Minors Kill und Burn?Po? llex* Could Not Cope with Mob and Troops Were Called Out. Johannesburg, South Africa, July 4.?Complete anarchy prevailed here tonight as a result of the general strike of the gold miners which be? gan a tew days ago. The authorities were obliged to order the troops to fire on the rioters, who applied the torch to The Star newspaper offices and another large building in the cen? tre of the town, as well as to the Braamfoiueln station. A mob of rioters attacked the Wer? ner Bits headquarters, where the po? lice fired upon them and compelled them to retreat. They soon renewed the attack, however. Thereupon the dragoons charged and dispersed them. Intermittent firing took place in several parts of the city and up to midnight 30 persons had been taken to hospitals. Early in the evening the strikers attempted to hold a meeting in the market place, but it was suppressed by the police. This inflamed the strikers and in various parts of the city rioting began. For a time even the iroops were powerless to check the mob. A crowd of strike sympathisers seized the Braamfontein yards, the main railway centre of the Transvaal, and stopped the train service. Hun? dreds of strikers tried to rush on the entrances to the Klelnfnntein mines, where "blacklegs" wtre working. The troops kept them at hay until the police dispersed them. The strike leaders repudiated the excesses, but the men are in ugly temper against "blacklegs" and fur? ther trouble Is expected. There Is much apprehension of a general strike among other trades. SUMMERTON SOCIAL NEWS. Mrs. J. M. Plcwden Entertains at Willst? .Masquerade Party Given by Mrs. P. J. Holladay. Summerton, July 2.?So frequent have been the social events of our community during the past week or ten days, that one has to make a veritable business of taking notes or else be accused of discrimination, a crime which the writer would hate to be guilty of.

Anderson, of Tupelo, Miss., and Mrs. Bennett of West Point, Miss. Several games of whist and auction whist were played after which, a salad course was served.

Anticipating; Binding Resolution THlilgeilten Withdrew Against Pro? test a of Senators?Amendment Tax on Tobacco Lost, 18 to 23. Washington, July L.?When Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska withdrew from the Democratic tariff caucus today be? cause that body voted down his amendment that would put a graduat? ed income tax on tobacco production, he precipitated the liveliest time the senate Democrats have had since they began consideration of the tariff measure. Senator Hitchcock's revolt, which he later declared did not mean that he had withdrawn from the party or that he would* not support the party measure, served to determine that there will be a binding resolution passed by the caucus pledging the senators to support the bill aa rati? fied, to refrain from introducing any amendment not proposed by the finance committee majority and not to support any amendments offered from the Republican side. It was intimated that it was be? cause of such a resolution that the Nebraska senator announced that he could not remain In the caucus, be? cause he intended to introduce hla tariff amendment in the senate and to lead a fight there for its adoption When, in the course of his talk to the caucus, the senator announced his decision and the reasons therefor, many of his colleagues who had sup? ported him in the vote on his amend? ment pleaded with him to remain in the room. There was considerable excitement as senator after senator urged Mr. Hitchcock not to go out, assuring him that he could be granted the privilege of bringing up his amendment without taking such a drastic course. Senator Hitchcock declared, how? ever, that there was no other course open and left the room while the ex? citement was at its height. The vote on the amendment was 23 to 18, the senators supporting It be? ing Ashurst, Bacon, Clarke of Arkan? sas, Fletcher, Hitchcock, Tollis, Kern, Lea, Martine, Myers, Newlands, Gorman, Pomerene, Robinson, Sauls bury, Sheppard, Shields and Varda man. All the members of the finance committee voted against the amend? ment. After the excitement had calmed down, statements were issued by Sen? ator Simmons, chairman of the llnance committee, who opposed the amendment, and Senator Kern, chair? man of the caucus, who supported it. Chairman Simmons said: "The caucus declined to adopt the socalled Hitchcock amendment to the tariff bill principally btcause it did not consider it wise to attempt in a tariff measure to deal with the trust evil. It was felt that the trust ques? tion should be dealt with as a separate one a4- SC on as it could he reached and only after such thorough and mature consideration as the great importance of the subject required. Moreover, such consideration could not now be given to it by the finance committee, the caucus and the congress, without unduly delaying final action upon the tariff and disappointing the public de? sire for its early settlement." "The vote on Senator Hitchcock's amendment," said Senator Kern, "has no significance as indicating any symapthy with the tobacco trust or any other monopoly on the part of any member of the conference. On the contrary there wa? a unanimous sntiment in favor of drastic legisla? tion on that subject. "Nearly all who opposed the reso? lution based their action upon the fact that the tariff t>i 11 should not be loaded down with general legislation and especially with legislation di? rected against one trust and affect? ing none of the others. "All agreed that every Democratic I platform pledge on the subject of I trusts and monopoly should he faith i fully carried out by legislation care ! fully drawn for that purpose." Tonight the caucus adjourned un? til tomorrow afternoon when it will have before .t the matter of extend? ing the date for the sugar tariff to become effective. The majority of the finance committee will meet in the morning to conelder the child labor resolution, the time for making effec? tive the wool schedule and some odds and ends of the hill. it was stated tonight that there now was no disposition In the committee to change the date of effectiveness f.-r tiie wool schedule and the recom? mendation of the committee to the ? aueus probably will be that the wool rates become effective Immediately after tiie paaaage of the bill. Moditl-j cation of tke amendment championed : by Senators Hughes and Thomas to prohibit tin- entry of goods manufac? tured by child labor, which was refer red back t.? the finance committee, is assured It was indicated tonight that when the committee got through BLEASE'S NOTE 10 GARRISON.

Alter Reiterating Mr. Garrison's Promise in His Note, Ricas?' Says: "This Is All I Have B"en Asking"? Jones-Cogs? well Letter to Governor. Columbia, July 2.?Acting upon the suggestion of Secretary of War Garrison that the Governor of South Carolina address a "proper note" to the war department to bring about a settlement of military affairs, Gov? ernor Please late todny, upon receiv? ing a letter from Gen. Jones and Col. Cogswell telling of their conference in Washington, addressed a letter to Sec? retary of War Garrison that fulfill? ed the conditions laid down by the war department and the militia encampment will undoubtedly be held j and the delinquent companies will be j given another chance to come up to I the requirements of the military regu? lations. In case they fail to do so at the next inspection their pay for the encampment will be withheld and the delinquent companies will then be mustered out. In his letter Gov. Blease omits all mention of the "in? iquitous Dick law," wnich he de? nounced s roundly in his original communication io Inspector General Moore and to the War Department. The net result of the whole muss kicked up is that the militia will con? tinue under the Dick law regulations and the companies that do not keep up to the standard will be mustered out after a second inspection?that is if Gov. Blease lives up to his latest agreement with the War Department. Jones-Tisdale. Miss Annie Allene Jones and Mr. G. H. Tisdale were married promptly at 7 o'clock Thursday morning at the Methodist parsonage. The wed? ding was attended by only a few rela? tives and most intimate friends. Rev. D. M. McLeod, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, performed the ceremony, the bride's pastor being out of the city. The bride is the attractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Jones and is loved by everybody for her lovely and sweet disposition. The bride wore a lovely traveling coat suit of gray, with large black picture hat. They left on the 7.30 train for Wrightsville Beach, where they will spend their honeymoon. When they return to the city they will be at home to their many ' friends on Salem avenue. They have I the best wishes of a host of friends. Burial of Mrs. Ryttenberg. The body of Mrs. Rose Ryttenberg arrived in the city Wednesday after? noon from A8heville, where death occurred Tuesday. The body was ta? ken from the station to the residence of Mr. L A. Ryttenberg, where it re? mained until this morning, when the funeral services were conducted by the Rev. David Klein at Temple Sinai, the interment taking place at ' the Jewish Cemetary. with it the claim could not be made that it was an impediment to American trade or protection to American manufacturers. Senator Simmons said that the com? pleted bill would be reported to the senate next Monday or Tuesday, to? gether with the committee report and that the caucus would complete con? sideration of the measure Friday or Saturday. . Hitchcock's Bolt Feared. Washington, July 2.?A good deal of concern is felt here among Ad? ministration Democrats at the course , of Senator Hitchock, of Nebraska, in I bolting the party caucus today, at ter the defeat of his resolution to at? tach a graduated tobacco tax to the tariff bill. The purpose of the reso? lution as announced by its author is to curb the tobacco manufacturing monopoly and stimulate competition The margin by which the Admin? istration sustains its free sugar and free wool sections of the tariff bill in the Senate is pre-arious. If the Louisiana Senators vote for the Hitchock tobacco tax after the bill goes to the Senate the Nebraska Sen? ator may vote for amendments for a tariff on su^ar and wool, (hie or two more bolts of this kind and free wool and free sugar will be defeated. Senator HltChcok and Secretary of state Bryan are not politically friend? ly. The Senator was not a Wilson man in the tight tor the residential nomination. He is openly opposed to currency legislation at the preset see ?ton, Senator Hitchcock deelnros that there is nothing sensational about his holt, and thai :t relates to th*? tobacco question solely, but some read >n it a carefully timed hint to other Demo crattc Senators to do likewise with regard to theii own pet moaauroa
