AT FLORENCE.
The Undercurrent of Feoling Is Still
Very Bitter.

The Undercurrent of Feeling Is Still
Very Bitter.
FLORENCE, s. O., April l.-Although
there has been no actual disturb banee
here today, the undercurrent of feeling
is very little better, and it would only
require one outbreak in the vicinity, OF
some obnoxious act ON the part of the
governor, to again stir up the citizens to
arms.
During the morning hours the town
apparently resumed most of its usual
quiet, and there was nothing on the sur
face that would indicate to a stranger
that the neighborhcod was on the verge
of an uprising. The churches were all
well attended; there we're no disorderly
assemblages on the streets, and the
cooler judgment of q nights rest seemed
to have had its effect. But now it is
plain that strong feeling of resentment
was working behind cloud of apparent
submission.
The belief is general that even should
the officers of the governor, who are
said to be responsible for the first out
break, be convicted by the courts they
would be pardoned by the governor, as
Elliott, one of the spies. who slapped
the facs of a woman in Charleston some
time ago, was pardoned by telegraph by
Governor Tillman. tbs people nave
lost faith in the efficiency OF the law to
protect their lives and liberties.
Darlington asserts her Independence
of Governor Tillman. Florence is ready
to follow her lead. and it ia believed
that other towns in the state stand
ready to take the cue from Darlington.
McLendon, who was thought to be
seriously wounded, proved to have been
shamming and was detained in jail by
deputy until arrangements for his es-
cape could be made.
The guns of the Florence rifles are
still in the possession of the citizens and
no attempt has thus far been made to
recover them. Should such an effort be
made by state troops no arms will be
found they have been seereted. The
citizens are not disposed to surrender
the advance they made but propose that
being outlawed they Will proceed to re-
store law and order.

The sdjutant and the inspector general
OF the state troops arrived here on a
special train, but no troops accom-.
panied them. The adjutant-general has
been in consmltation with the most con-
servative citizens of Darlington today,
and the inferenc ce 10 that they have ali
agreed to use their influence to quiet
the disturbed condition. A etrong de-
termination still prevails, however, that
Tillman's spies shall not invade private
residences.
The spy, McLendon, who was in Jail
here, was spirited away by hia friends
and the supporters OF the dispensary
law between this hours of 8 80 and a.
M. McLsndon was the man who
killed Frank Norment, and number of
the dead mans friends are searching
for him. The spy who Was captured in

his escape.

Tillman received dispatch tonight to

hours will have arrived safely at
Charleston. There are seven cons tables
still unsccounted for. Their names are !:
Swan, Meekin, Brown, King, Holloway,

Governor Tillmsn thinks the escape of
these nine men will greatly relieve the
tension. He says honore are about even
between the two parties in the killing at
Darlington, and that if the other spies
escape the trouble will be over.
He has also received dispatches from
AdjutsntGenersl Farley, now in Darl-

WASHINGTON, april Ito Senator
Irby of South Carolina is due much of
the credit for having relieved the CEN
sorship of press dispatches established
by Governor Tillman at Columbia. To-
night he visited the Offices OF the
Southern Associated Press to learn the
latest developments. There he learned
that Governor Tillman had placed Off :
cers in the Western Union Offices at
Columbia who inspected all messages and
refused to forward any that did not
meet their approval. He wired Cover
nor fillman advising him against this
course and atstiag that it could have no
other than detrimental effect. Shortly
after this message had been seut the
speeials to the Associated Press began to
arrive in this city, and it is believed
Senator Irby'e advice induced the gov
ernor to withdraw the officers from the
telegraph Office.

received no information of q call from
Governor Tillman for government
troops, and no preparations have been
made to get any troops in readiness to go

operate to maintain order and prevent
hloodshed and destruction OF property.
They could not take any part in assisting

IT has come to be chief glory Of
the modern age to use English we'll.
Long as the polished French held
pre-eminence as the language of dip
lomacy, supplanting Latin in courts
as English supplanted Latin in our
common literature; intrenched as
French is still in even the official
publication of the German Empire,
Almanach de GOtha-monument to
the influence of Voltaire: rich as is
German, and never mightier than to-
day, for music is bearing its sonoronS
verse to all lands that love grandiOse
song-the progress Of English alone
is keeping pace with advancement of
frontiers Of civilization. In the far
north, in the South Pacific, at the
equator it is becoming the para
mount tongue. In Australia it is
taking the place of old held by Ger
man. In portions Of what were
originally Dutch settlements it has
succeeded Dutch to large degree.
In Russia and in Germany it is sec
ond only TO the vernacular, and the
next international conference will
doubtless adopt it as the most expe-
dent medium. What legislation
cannot do commerce has DONE All
artificial Efforts to preserve old or to
pro agate new vOcabularics have
proved and must continue to be fu-
tile. Ancient languages have their
own ilnperishable and reserved place
in the love and learning Of mankind.
All modern tongues, many Of them
surviving civil prescription, should
be cherished by those to whom they
are cradle speech, and studied by all
who can. English is the language Of
destiny. They to whom it is cradle
speech can well afford to study it
with worship. 1t should be their
care to protect it against violation or
intrusions. For noble sentiment,
profound truth, broad wisdom, or
eloquence or tenderness, it is need
less to wander from it into other
tongues, be their true accents lost in
the dim music of antiquity, or be
their organic forms plastic in the

Mr.. Emerson, IN his essay on 'tElo-
quence," mentions an incident in the
life of John Quincy Adams which
illustrates the bitterness Of political
contests in the early days of the re-
public. Mr. Adams, while member
Of the United States Senate, was
elected Professor of Rhetoric and
Oratory in Harvard College. When
he read his first lecture in 1905 the
students heard him with delight, and
the hall was crowded by the profes-
sors and by unusual visitors. some OF
whom had driven over from Boston
In their coaches.
During the next session of the Sen
ate Mr.. Adams took such ground In
debate as to ALLEVIATE many OF his con-
stituents in Boston. When he re-
sumed his lectures in Cambridge his
class attended, but the coaches from
Boston did not come, and indeed
many Of his political friends deserted
him
In 1909 he was appointed Minister
to Russia, and resigned his chair in
the college In taking leave Of his
class, he made some nervous illusions
to the treatment he had received
from his d friends. which showed
how much it had stung him. The
lecture made a profound impres ion
on the class, and the concluding par
agraph was long remembered in Cam
bridge.
"At no hour of your life," said the
lecturer, ''will the love of letters ever
Cypress you as burden, or fail you
as resource In social con-
verse with the mighty dead of an
cient days, you will never smart
under the CALLING sense Of dependence
upon the mighty living of the present
age. And In your struggles with the
world, should a crisis ever occur,
when even friendship may deem it
prudent to desert you, when even
your country may seem ready TO
abandon herself and you, when prize It
and Levite shall come and look On
you and pass by on the other side,
seek refuge, my unfailing friends, and

friendship of L9lius and Scipio, in
the patriotism of Cicero, Demosthenes
and Burke, as we'll as in the precepts

of age astounded the peop,e of his

questions involving nice theological
points, and of whom his mother
prOphesied: ale will become a great

In commenting on "lassoing," the
peculiar method San Francisco park
police employ for catching runaways
the San Francisco Chronicle remarkCd d
with gentle pride: "In no other park
in the world is the lariat used by the
police. When the efete cities of tho
East and Europe come to know what
a handy thing it is, they also viii,
doubtless, arm their park officer,
with it. The lasso was used by the
Spanish and Mexican vaqueros in
California before other people ap-
preciated its merits. and in the ad
vance Of civilization it has not been
cast aside. hut been more generally
employed" 1t is very true that the
lariat is not used "in the effete cities
of the East and Europe" but it is
very doubtful whether they can be
induced TO see what a handy thing
it is" In Central Park, New York,
and in the great pleasure places of
Europe where driving and riding arc
allowed, there are, of course, runa
ways, and there are mounted police.
These men are daring and skillful
horsemen. They are trained tl stop
runaways, whether the horses are un-
der saddle or in harness. They ride
up beside the runaway. and seize the
frightened animal in certain pre-.
scribed ways which experience ha

THE champion lady whist PLAYER

THE champion lady whist player is
now in San Francisco. She has made
the game a study for years, and says
that the process has been attended
BY marked intellectual benefits. Ac-
cording to her, however, lifetime
cannot reveal the possibilities of the
game. So that despite here and
there an optimistic CLEAN of faith
and trust, life is after all failure.
May it not be hoped that in some
sweet hereafter, when years shall be
no more and existence shall run on
and Ia, never ending and not paus-

game may be dragged from their con-
cealment and the whist intelligence
tower to the giant height forbidden

Prospectors Using 1t as Refrigerator and

An "ice mine" is reported from New
York Gulch, Meagher County, Mon
tana In early days the gulch turned
out So, 900, 900 worth of gold, but or
late years it has been nearly deserted.
Last summer, says the Northwest
Magazine, two prospectors uncovered
the mouth of an old shaft and glanced
curiously down it. They saw the ice,
which reached up to within four feet
and eight inches of the surface. They
considered it curious, and thought
what good place it would be to keep
their meat, butter and other food
from spelling while they were work
ing in the neighborhood. They low
cred their provender into the ice
mine with the best results. Natur-
ally they told of their find to other
miners, with the result that for a
radius of three or four miles around
the miners came to the ice shaft,
lowered the beef and other provisions
into the mine, putting their tag on
it, and hosting the rope from time
to time as provisions were needed. 1t
is godsend to the miners, as it en-
ables them to keep meat fresh in the
very hottest weather. The miners
are unable to give any solution Of this
strange phenomenon. The formation
of the gulch is shale, reddish in color
and full Of assures. 1t is supposed
that gusts of air from a cold cave
may have underground connections
with the shaft, and rapid evaporation
near the top may explain the con-
tinued formation of ice there as it is

ANYBODY desiring an exciting oc-
