OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.
The Maritime Conference Second
Only to the International Congress.


WASHINGTON, Specialize international
maritime conference, which meets here
Wednesday, will embrace about fifty men,
bers, representing twenty-three of the more
important maritime nations, that furnish
perhaps 90 per cent of the tonnage of the
world. In fact no maritime country of i'm
portance Is without representation, except
Portugal The meeting is an event second
in interest only to the three Americas con-
gress The chief object of the conference is
to secure an agreement upon an i'm
proved code of marine signals, with
a view to increased safety of
navigation. The subjects to be
discussed are marine signals to indicate the
course of vessels in fog, mist, snow and at
night, together with "rules of the road" to
prevent collisions; regulations to determine
seaworthiness of vessels, the proper lead
line of vessels, the proper marking of ves-
sells, the saving of life and property from
shipwreck, tests of the efficiency of officers
and seamen, the laying out of lanes for
steamers in frequented waters, night signals
for communicating information, warnings
Of approaching storms, reporting and de-
stroylng abandoned vessels, notices of dan
ger from rocks and changes of lights, buoys,
etc the devising of uniform system of
buoys and establishment of maritime COM
mission, The function would be to gather
and ditfuse information Of value to naviga-
ton. Foremost among the subjects to be
brought forward is the adoption of new and
more exact means to show in fog what
direction q vessel is moving.
THE PRESENT SYSTEM WORTHLESS.
A number of American naval officers have
conducted experiments in this subject and
/ their reports will be of great value to the
conference. The lights now used by sailing

practically worthless for the prevention of

INDIAN VOTERS,
A Factor With Which the Two Da-
kotaS Must Deal.

WASHINGTON, Special-The Indian as q po-
litical factor is likely in the Lear future to
attract public attention. BY recent acts of
congress every Indian over twenty-one years
of age who receives an allotment of land in
severalty becomes voter, clothed with
every attribute that attaches to citizenship
The successful termination of the negotia-
tions with the Sioux Indians by which they
surrender lalge part of their reservation in
Dakota will, it is estimated, by next year
throw into the politics of the state the
uncertain quantity of 1887 voters. This
vote, thrown soiidly, as it probably will be
in both state and national elections, is likely
to become an important factor in that state.
Negotiations now in progress with other In-
dian tribes will soon make many thousands
more Indian voters. At the interior depalt-
ment it is thought that upwards of 10000
Indians will be entitled to vote in the next
presidential election. How the red man will
conduct himself as a part and parcel of the
nation and not as its ward will be watched
with interest by all who are interested in the
solution of the Indian problem.

THOMAS FERGUSON GRENEkER.
Thomas Ferguson Greneker was
born in the city Of Charleston, :. G.,
March 2nd, 1927. He died at his home
in Newberry December Sd, 1889, in the
SD year of bis age. He was married in
the city of Columbia on Goth of Decen-
Der, 1852, to Miss Mary Caroline Fritz.
BY this marriage three children were
born to them. One son and two
daughters. Only one Of these, Mrs.
Lula NJ. Jones, is now living. This
wife died many years ago.
He was married second time, Oh the
9Th of August, 1864, to Miss Corrie G..
Sigh, ofthis county, whosurvives him.
Six children Were born of this marriage
-four sons and two daughters-three
of whom are now living: Miss Sa!lie,
Eugene, and Claude.
Mr.. Greneker came TO Newberry be-
fore the war, and was associated for
several years with T. P. Slider in the
publication Of the Rising Sun. After
the war, he with his brother R. II.
Greneker, began the publication of the
Newberry Herald, it being the success
sor Of the Rising Sun.
The deceased continued the publica-
ton of The Herald until in 1884, when
The News was merged into The
Herald, and the publication continued
by Mr.. T. F. Greneker as The Herald
and News.
Mr.. Greneker was in bad health for q
number of years, and in 1885 lie re-
tired from active Journalism, being
succeeded by his sou-in-law, Mr..
A. c. Jones.
In March 1887 the Herald and
News was sold by Mr.. Jones to the
present publishers. About one year
ago Mr.. Greneker received fall by
which his thigh was fractured and from
that time to his death he was confined
to his house, although he recovered
and was able to walk about the house
with the use ola crutch.
Mr.. Greneker was the founder OF this
paper; and for nearly forty years was
identified with the journalism of this
county. The best years of his life and
his energy and intellect were spent
here in our midst in an effort to ad-
vance the true interests Of his adopted
town and county and of his native
State.
He was one of the organizers Of the
State Press Association and was
elected Treasurer at the first meeting.
He was consistent member Of the
Methodist Church and died in the as
surance of blissful Immortality be-
yond the grave.
The life of the editor Of a country
newspaper is one of many trials and
hardships and much labor, but if his
head and heart properly direct his pen
it is difficult to estimate the power and
magnitude Of his influence for good.
Though an invalid for long time,
and while hisdeath was not unexpected,
yet death at all times and under ali
circumstances carries a sadness with it.
He had large circle Of acquaintances
