WEDNESDAY. DEC la. 1899

"AI roads lead to Rome" AT least
they did lead there formerly, but not
until the City Of the Seven Hills had
been advertised in the manner most
common throughout the then known
world. So, too, all highways and by
ways would lead to any modern busi.
ness house if good advertising methods
should be employed there. Success IN
business, as in the making of cities, de
pends upon publicity. Present day
newspaper advertisements win greater
victories than were possible to Roman
arms.

HIS RELIGION NOT AN ISSUE


Mr.. Roberts, Of Utah, has issued an
extraordinary appeal to the sympathies
OF the people begging their support in
his efforts to secure a seat in Congress.
He alludes to the committee OF thel
House Of Representatives that is in
vestigating his eligibility as IAN ex-
traordinary committee" which Il isl
only in the sense that it Is the result of
the extraordinary conditions which his
extraordinary case has created The
New York Herald editorially says:
The committee viii do him justice. II,
however. justice is what he breads, that
is not the committees 8 fault, but his
own
The House in refusing Mr. Roberts a
seat had a duty to itself and to the
country to perform. The course it pur-
sued was entirely consistent with the
facts IN hand. The case stood as fol-
lows: II was admitted that Mr.. Roberts
was disfranchised by his conviction
and imprisonment in 1889. There was
prima facie evidence OF the strongest
kind that he had never recovered his
citizenship, and that at the present mo-
ment his political status is Just what ii
was after his disfranchisement. This
being the case. the House could not dc
otherwise than to ask him 10 step aside
until Those charges could be examined
Mr. Roberts as an individual is Of very
little importance, but behind him is the
serious question whether the Congress
which has passed the most stringent
laws against polygamy shall welcom,
TO its deliberations a representative DO
lygamist, who has for years defied thos,
laws and openly defended himself il
so doing. That would be too close an
approach to qualification to be regard
ed with indifference. The House there
fore did the only thing that could b.
done under the circumstances. and botl
Republicans and Democrats ioinel
forces in doing IT,

South Carolina has reason to be
proud of the showing her cotton
manufacturing makes in Secretary
Hester's report for the year just
ended. Not only does she still l
lead the southern States in this
industry but she increases her lead.
Her mills consumed 61,501 bales
more than those of North Carolina
and 1911 more than those of
Geogia. They increased their con-
sumption 1913 bales more than
bales more than North Carolina's
and 1854 more than Georgia's.
They worked up 21.7 per cent, of
all the cotton going to southern
mills. Notwithstanding the fact
that the rest of the south gained
1913 per cent. in cotton consump-
ton during the year South Carolina
greatly excelled it, with increase
of 17.4 per cent. Of the south's
increased consumption during the
year this State furnished 3S.7 per
cent. And the best of it is that
the increase continues, assuring a
still great supremacy for the
smallest State in the south, leader
of all the rest.-Columbia State.

AFL0AT ON A RAFT
WITH A MANIAC.
One of the Survivors Tells of
Casting Lots and Sucking the
Blood of One Companion.

Charleston, S. c., Sept. 22.-The
British steamer Woodruff, Captain
Milburn, arrived from Hamburg
today. August 81, two hundred
and fifty miles south of Charleston
the Woodruff picked up Maurice
Anderson and Goodmund Thoma-
sen, survivors of the survivors of
of the Norwegian bark Drot, wreck.
ed August Is, off the Florida coast.
The Drot was bound from Pasca-
goula to Buenos Ayres. Anderson
is raving maniac and his COM
panion is shockingly mutilated
bites of the crazed man. Thoma-
sen tells a dreadful story. The
captain of the Drot and seven
seamen we're swept overheard and
lost in the recent West Indian
hurricane. The mate and seven
other men put to sea on raft made
from decking. The raft parted
soon after, and the mate and one
man were separated from the
others. The mates companion
was landed at Philadelphia Ky the
German ste amer Titania on
August %. He stated that the
mate committed suicide. Of the
six men on the other part of the
raft one became crazed from ex-
posure and jumped into the sea.
Two others exhausted from suffer-
ing fell overheard and were lost.
Anderson, Thomasen and a German
seaman, drew lots as to which one
would be eaten, as none of them
had had a mouthful since they
took to the raft. The lot fell to
the German. He was killed and
the blood was sucked from his
veins by the two survivors.
Soon after Anderson lost his
reason and savagely attacked his
only companion. Thomasen's
breast and face were bitten in
several places, chunks of good size,
being torn out.
Both men are now at the city
hospital and the Norwegian con-
sui has taken the case in hand.
Thomasen is a native.of Stevanger,
Norway.
