STATES RIGHTS AGAIN.
Controversy Between Secretary Noble a
Governor Tillman.

Governor Tillman.
CHARLESTON, s, c., April ia
unique phase of the staterights question
has just been presented in correspon-
dence which has taken place between
! Governor Tillman, of this state, and
| Secretary of the Interior Noble. The
subject of the correspondence is the
division of the states share of the Fed
eral appropriation for mechanical and
agricultural colleges.
AT the session of the state legislature
which adjourned last December an act
was passed providing that the quota to
be received by South Carolina should be
divide I'd into two Q ,uul larts, one-half
to be giveH to the Clemson agricultural
college for whites at Pendleton, and the
other to the Cla1iin college for colored
| youth at Orangeburg.
A few days ago Governor Tillman ad-
dressed letter to Secretary Noble ap-
plying for South Carolinas quota of the
fund appropriated under the act of
Congress approved Aug 80, 1850. in
reply Secretary Noble objected to the
! method of div sion decided upon by the
state Legislature and informed the
governor that this state quota was at his
disposal to be divided between the two
colleges on the bases of the proportion of
the school population. This proportion
under the census of 1920 was 49, white
and 1913 colored, and the secretary an
nounced that it was only by pledging
division on this basis that South Caro-
lima could get her money.
Governor Tillman promptly raised
the issue that the money was due South
Carolina and that the secretary of the
interior had nothing whatever to do
with the division of the fund Natur-
ally Secretary Noble differed with him,
and the governor day or two ago is
sued his ultimatum in letter to Acting
Secretary George Chandler, in which he
says;
South Carolina has dealt literally
with her colored college in the past and
| am sorry to see it crippled by refusal
on your part to accept the apportion-
ment proposed by the state AS gov
ernor ! have no authority to do more,
and if had | would refuse to &C ept the
money under the terms you offer"
Under the act of congress the money
will re ain in { ne hands Of the secretary
of the interior until congress meets,
when the state can appeal to that body.
The state authorities announce their
determination TO carry the matter to
the supreme court, if necessary. The
South Carolina Legislature does not
meet again until next November, and
Governor Tillman can take no further
s,eps toward accepting the quota until
instructed by the assembly,

The Other European Powers Concerned
About Their Trade with America.
WASHINGTON, April Is. There were
no new developments in the Italian
situation At the State Department
there is an air of Indifference which in
dicates an absence of concern about what
the Italian government may do There
is no apprehension of war, whatever
may happen, short of insult.
Italy would not be allowed by the
other European powers to provoke hostil-
iities that would suspend and probably
ruin all their commerce with America.

are increasing in numbers The Indian
seal hunters at Victoria have struck for

Reappeared in the North of England.


LONDON, April t5.-Apprehension OF
serious epidemic Of influenza is caused
by the fact that the disease reappears
in the north of England, where it was
first discovered in 1889. Besides pre-,
vailing in Sheffield in an epidemic form,
the disease exists throughout the whole
of Yorkshire.
At Hull the death rate has doubled
during the past two weeks, and the
significant inc ease is attributed to the
presence there of influenza.
In the Drift ED district, near Hull, the
entire population is more or les affected
with the disease, and a general sus, en-
sion of labor has been made nece sary
The mortality in the district has been
heavy.
AT Birmingham, while the outbreak
is of a milder description and less wide
ly spread, numbers of persons are suffer
ing from the malady In Lincolnshire
and several other counties come imilar
reports IN this city there are mer-
GUS case of influenza, but it las not at

reported, but serious renewal of the
malady is feared.

BIainc's Answer Not Yet Sent

An Associated Press dispatch says
that but two facts could be added Mon
day to the public stock of information
respecting the diplomatic ENHANCEMENT
with Italy growing out of the New Or"
leans tragedy. One of these was that
the state department has not received
any intimation from the Italian govern
ment that their last note must be an
swered before given date, Nor is such
an intimatiOn expected, for the depart
ment feels that it is acting properly and
seasonably, and 1t would be very un-
usual course for a nation engaged in
diplomatic negotiations with another to
question the motives upon which the
correspondence proceeded, The second
fact is that Secretary Blaine's answer TO
the Marquis Rudini's last note has not
yet been forwarded. 1t is hardly the
secretary's purpose to accompany this
reply with an Official statement touching
the nationality Of the New Orleans vic
Tins and other facts that were expected
from the officials of the de nartment of
Justice at New orleans. These reports
have not yet reached Washington.
When they are received great care must
be eX re sed in reducing the facts CON
tanned in them to form useful for dip
iOmatic use, so that unless the secretary
is repaired to send his letter will, ut
these facts it is not likely to 60 forward

paper sent the following dispatch Mon
day night. The ituation has not i'm
proved as regards the relations between
the United States and Italy, and,
whether it occurs now Cr later on, the
recall of MIR. Porter and a complete rup-
ture of diplomatic relations is likely.
Failing to get satisfaction, Italy will
have to make some demonstration of
displeasure. What she has already done
might he sufficient demonstration if
made after we fai ed to comply with her
demands but her minister having been
recalled before the otfense, she must
seek some other expression of dis
pleasure after the offense to make com
plete the diplomatic rupture. This Is
the least she can do, having already done
so much, and it is the most she can
afford to do in the face of the complica-
tion of European affairs and the power J

"Rocker" Mining in 40.

The most expensive instrument of
the early miner was the rocker, which,
though simple in construction, cost in
the mines from fifty to hundred
dollars. In general appearance it was
not unlike baby's cradle as used by
our grandmothers and as still seen on
the frontier. 1t consisted of a fiat
bottom with two sides that fiared out
ward, and an end board at the head,
while the foot was open save a rifle
about an inch and half high at the
bottom to catch the gold that might
pass another rifle across the bottom
near the middle. At the head of the
cradle was a hopper about eighteen
inches square with perforated sheet
iron bottom or wire screen. Under
this was an apron, or board, sloping
downward towards the head. Two
substantial rockers under the whole
completed the simple machine which
gave to the world millions of dollars.
The naodus operandi may be de-
scribed as follows: Two sticks of
wood hewn on the upper side were
imbedded at the rivers brink. one
four inches lower than the other, on
which the rockers were to rest, thus
securing grade in the machine to
| facilitate the outward flow Of the
water and sand. Two miners usually
worked together as partners. One
shoveled the earth into the rocker,
while the other, seated on a boulder or
block of wood dipped the water from
the river and poured it upon the earth
in the hopper with one hand, all the
time rocking with the other. When the
earth was thoroughly washed, he rose.
lifted the hopper from its place, threw
out the stones and gravel. replaced it,
and thus the work went on. As the
| ground about the rocker became ex-
had to the bucket and the earth was
carried sometimes a few rods, making
laborous work for the miner. To keep
the rocker going another hand would
be employed to carry the earth, and
each would carry two buckets at a
| time.
Hard work of this kind suggested
improvements in mining. At noon
the gold and black sand collected
above the rifles were taken up on q
scraper and thrown into the pan, which
was carried to the river and and care
fully washed to remove as far as posi-.
BILE all but the gold. The yield of the
forenoon was carried to the camp, and
dried over blaze, the dry sand blown
out, and the gold weighed in scales OIL
guessed at, and poured into the part
nership purse and deposited under the
bed or anywhere else out of sight
