OF NATURAL GAS
GOVERNOR, GAS INSPECTOR AND AT
TORNEY GENERAL CONFER.
VIII Await the Decision I'm the In
juntiOn Suit Now Pending
at Anderson.

The Governor, the attorney general and
State Gas Inspector Leach held long
consultation in the Governors office yester-
day afternoon upon the subject of the waste
of natural gas. 1t will be remembered that
when oil was first discovered in Madison
county the gas companies and manufac-
turers became very much alarmed at the
waste of natural gas incidental to the drill
ing for oil. Oil drillers permitted the gas
to escape in order to get at the oil be-
low and there was a general fear that the
whole field would be blown out in a short
time The gas men formed an agreement
to take steps under the law to prevent this
waste of gas and under this agreement some
of the best attorneys in the State were en-
ployed and an injunction suit was brought
in Madison county. A decision upon this
case is expected from Judge Mcclure in
few days, and after going over the whole
ground yesterday the state officers decided
to await Judge McClure's decision
Whichever way the case is de-
cided it will be appealed to the
Supreme Court and it was decided
yesterday that the attorney general shall
appear in the case when it comes before
the higher court The gas inspector has
filed Information in twenty-eight different
cases and has done all that is possible I'M
der the law to prevent the waste OF gas.
Farmers in the region where both oil and
gas are found prefer to give oil leases as
they are much more profitable. In these
they get a royalty of 25 per cent. upon each
barrel of petroleum, while the gas leases
bring only 81 per acre per year. The oil
men maintain that they have as much right
for gas and contend that the gas men are
endeavoring TO drive them out of the field
in order that they may have monopoly
upon it and drill for oil after the gas is ex-
bauSted

school Board Invites other boards to
Send Delegates.

Messrs f. J. Robson, Franklin Vonnegut
and c. H. Adam, of the Indianapolis School
Board, constituting the committee that has
in charge the work of creating an inter-
est in the coming convention of the Boys
and Girls Employment Association, have
sent invitations to the various school
boards of Indiana and adjoining States to
send delegates to the convention. The invi-
tation reads:
'"The eighth national convention of the
Boys and Girls National Home and En-
ployment Association will convene in this
city Dec. IA. The aims and objects of the
association have been advertised very ex-
tenSively and the reform contemplated in
behalf of the neglected class of youths of
the cities proves to be practical and popu-
lar At a meeting of the indianapolis School
Board held to-day to take steps with ref
erence to increasing the interests and ex-
tending the benefits of the association to
youths of cities generally 1T was resolved to
request the school boards of the cities and
towns in Indiana and adjoining States to
send at least one delegate to represent them
at the convention and take part in the de-
liberations and report back the results of
the convention to their own school boards
The national association has formulated
and for several years placed before State
Legislatures and municipal governments of
various cities and towns laws and ordi-
nanceS for their consideration. One of these
laws provides that no boy or girl shall be
imprisoned with old criminals; another,
that all tramping boys shall be detained by
the officials and restored to their homes;
another. the protection of children in dis
sipated and immoral homes; still another,
the opening of free intelligence offices for
assisting and hunting homes or employment
for dependent youths. boys or girls; and,
lastly, the curfew ordinance requiring that
all boys and girls under the ages Of fifteen
years in cities, towns ard villages shall be
at their own homes after O'Clock at night
in winter and o'clock in summer unless
accompanied by parents or guardians or
absent with leave.
Certificates are at hand showing that
in cities where the curfew ordinance was
enforced there was last year a decrease of
so and IS per cent. in commitment of boys
and girls to reform schools and station
houses. It is represented that these same
cities enjoy almost entire freedom from
truancy in their schools The enforcement
of this ordinance is attended without in
creased police force or increased taxes. His
Excellency, James A. Mount, Governor of
Indiana is carrying on an extensive corre-
spondence with the Governors of all of the
States, endeavoring to enlist their sympa-
thies in the work and secure delegates rep
reSenting each State; a like request will
probably be made by the mayor and city
Couacil of Indianapolis on the municipal
authorities of various cities to send a dele
gate to the convention"

TO RECOVER A BIG SUM
STATE GETS AFTER THE AETNA
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.
1t Is Claimed that the Company Owes
$4,000 for UncOIlected Fees
and Taxes.

The State, through the Governor the au-
ditor Of state and attorney general, yester-
day entered into. contract with Mr.
Klayer a ferret from Cincinnati, for
the purpose of collecting a large sum
of taxes and fees due the State
from the Aetna Life Insurance Com
pany. The state officials were very
secretive about the matter and de-
clined to give any information on the sub
ject. 1t is stated, however that the COM
pany is supposed to owe the State about
$4,000 in fees and taxes that the State
failed to collect during the period between
1880 and 1890. According to the terms of the
contract the ferret is to receive 25 per cent
upon the first $1,000 collected and his per-
centages are graded from that on down to
5 per cent.
How the company came to be allowed to
known, except TO the state officers, and they
declined yesterday to discuss the matter,
saying that ii was not yet ready for pub
ucatlou.
klayer has been endeavoring for several
months 70 get the contract and his attor-
ney. Robinson, of Cincinnati, had been In
correspondence with Auditor Daily about
IT, The auditor diG not have much faith in
the matter, ii is claimed, but referred Il TO
the attorney general and Governor. During
the past three or four days there have been
among the officers mentioned and the mat
ter yesterday eliminated in the making of
the contract.

indeterminate law, which provides an i'm

THE GOLD DEMOCRATS.
Sheerin Will Probably Succeed Pick
ems as Sfnte Chairman

ems as State Chairman.
The National Democratic state committee
will meet in two or three weeks to consider
plans for the organization of the party in
this State next year. The National Demo-
Gratis will make no effort to control the
regular Democratic organization in Indiana
when the reorganization meetings are held
in January, though there are a number of
counties where they could capture the or
ganization and give the silver leaders a
heap of trouble. S. o. Pickens, chairman of
the state committee, has said Frequently
that he could not afford to devote the time
to another campaign and it is quite prob
able that s. p. Sheerin will be chosen to
succeed him as the head of the state organi-
cation. Mr. Sheerin was, for many years,
secretary of the Democratic national COM
mittee and is an excellent organizer. He
was in full sympathy with the gold move
ment last year and wrote letter upon the
subject that was given 2 wide circulation
during the campaign He has recently re-
moved to this city.

bef.u
Because OF Its large number Of delegates
there has been in the past some talk OF divid.
ing the Conference, 30 that the tax on the
community in which they meet would not be
80 great in entertaining the delegates.
Viewed from our standpoint, 1t is hoped
that division Of the,Conterence may not be
made. The Methodist church is strong IN
every city. town and hamlet In South Caro-
lima, and 1t would seem that whatever affects
the Methodist church affects the whole State
Of South Carolina. It is, we think, well for
all the Methodists in the State to meet togeth-
or In fraternal and Christian fellowship, and
1t would seem to be a pity to set of divisions
In small State like ours.
We appreciate the consideration which the
advocates Of division show for the different
communities in the matter OF entertaining
the delegates, but that difficulty might we'll
be overcome. Letthe Conference meet earlier
in the week-not later than Tuesday night
aud shorten the session 50 that all, or most Of
the delegates, could reach home by Saturday
night.
The plan Of meeting on Wednesday, We
presume, was adopted in the days OF stage
coaches, but now we have railroads and quick
transportation.
We know Of no reason for including SUM-
day In the session OF the Conference. Shorten
the session, then, by one day, and let the
South Carolina Conference remain one-as a
whole-without dividing 1t.
