Senator Clark and his son Charles W.
Clark. were in earnest consultation with
former Senator Faulkner when the after
noon session of the committee was re-
sumed. The son appears 20 be about TWEEN
ty-fve years old. but lie was one OF his
fathers most active agents in the sena-
tOriai campaign. He has neither whiskers
nor mustache lie was put upon the
stand by counsel for the contestants and
was questioned as to letters written to him
ami Mr.. Bickf0rd and his father by +. L..
7. Ector. He had searched for them and
had not found them. He said he had not
destroyed them, as they We're too valuable
TO him to do so, and he had no reason to
believe that they were destroyed. II was
proposed 10 examine Ectur as to the con-
tents OF the letters, but the matter was
postponed till Monday. as young Mr. Clark
thought they might be in New York.
Charles 81. jackson. OF Salt Lake City.
Utah, was the next witness. He said that
he was a newspaper man. aud had been
one for the last fifteen years. He had had
conversation in Salt Lake City with SEN
ator Clark. in which MFR. Clark asked him.
he said. TO vote for Mr. McCune as Sena-
tor. Counsel for contestants outlined what
was desired to be proved by the witness,
II was to the effect that in the conversa-
ton referred to Mr.. Clark said 1t was Gus
tOmary TO use money in elections. and in
stanced Senator Hanna of Ohio and himself
as persons who had used money in their
election
Tn. witness was allowed To relate the
alleged conversation. and said:
Senator Clark asked me IL | could con-
scientiously support Mr. McCune for the
Senate, and said that Mr.. McCunc was
man very liberal in his habits: that he was
man who never forgot his friends. who
did him a favor. He said that | was a
poor man. as l already knew, and that if
| could see my way clear to vote for Me-
Cune. he (McCunel would undoubtedly do
something handsome by ME. or words to
that effect. He said that these matters
always came out right that it was GUS
tomary to use money In elections, and he
cited Senator Hanna, of Ohio and his own
election. alluding to one person tnamed
Parker. who had received money and had
been very indiscreet in showing it around
and said that ii would soon blow over.

met Myers walking up the street and had
mentioned this to him, and Myers said:
II have been thinking this matter over,
and you can tell Charlie Clark that If he
will put $4,000 in Whiteside's hands for
me | may vote for him. or | may not"
And yet with this personal knowledge
you went before the grand jury and made
this statement Did you know then that
Myers had been there before you?"
II did not"
Did you know that you were brought
there 10 contradict the testimony of Myers
HIMSELF"
II did not know that fact"
When the witness said that the reason
he had concealed SO much from the grand
fury was because he did not wish to be-
come mixed up in the case, Mr.. Faulkner
asked
WHY have you changed your opinion ."
Because I determined that 1 would not
periure myself before this committee"
Was it any worse TO perjure yourself
before this committee than before the
grand jury
Il do not consider that perjured my
self before the grand jury"

Yes. sir; to tell the truth"

me- s-.
Senator Chandler took a hand in The ex-
animation of the witness aud with some
difficulty compelled him TO say that he did
not want the grand july to learn that he
had said to Mr.. Meyers anything about
bride money.
When did you first tell of these inter-
views with Charles ". Clark and others ?"
Not until two or three days ago"
ITO whom did you first mention them?"

na?"

by Mr. Faulkner and Mr. Foster, associate

was that the best evidence as TO the con-

Col EstiH Tells of Long Distance Fly.


Colonel j. II. Estill, the editor Of The
Savannah News. says that buzzard
once few from New York to Charles
ton, 8. c., in four hours. "There had
been lot of talk about the time which
would be required for one of these fly-
ers to get home. and it was agreed one
day to box mp a fine looking specimen
and ship 1t to New York. There was n
great deal of interest in this test of
speed, and the man who received the
swift bird of the air was instructed TO
release it at certain hour and to tele-
graph the moment the buzzard eniffad
the free air. The message came here
that the bird, all properly marked for
Identification, had been released from
its box, and watchers were stationed in
Market, street to time the moment Of
arrival. Various time allowances had
been suggested by the interested crowd
"f watchers, and the prevailing idea
was that the buzzard could not eet
back home for day, if at oil. But
this is where the people were wrong.
for, as remember it, the buzzard polx-
ed ite nose toward Charleston ma soon
as it was set free, and the trip to Char
lesion was made in four hours. The
old bird appeared to be very much the
WOrse for wear when it got in. but n
record mad been made, and all the nnnls
made on the flying time were upset."

Iroa Ore in Souts, Carolina.

The Manufacturers Record repub
fishes an interesting bit Of news rela-
live 20 the iron industry of South
Carolina. It reads:
ssWe have received from Mr.. John 8.
Norwood, of Dresden, AbbeyiHe Coun-
". South Carolina. O. sample Of very
fine magnetic ore, Of which he says
there is an abundant supply :n that
county. Col. J. G. Black Of Blacks
burg, Cherokee County, South Caro-
linz, has furnished during the past
gee. c.. tt-s considerable consider quantities uf
the same kind Of ore to the Cherokee
furnace of the Empire Steel and Iron
Company, OF Greensboro, N. C.. The
existence in South Carolina of iron ore
OF excellent quality has long been
known. In our, Iron in All Ages we
gave full details of an active iron in
dustry that existed in that State in the
iassi century and down to 1866, soon
after which year the last fire in its
various iron enterprises was put out.
'.In the northwestern part OF South
Carolina, including the counties of
Union, Spartanburg, Cherokee and
York, are valuable deposits Of mag
netic ore, and here the first iron works
in the State were erected by Mr.. Buff
fington in 1778, but they were destroy
ed by tho Tories during the Reyolu-
ton. Soon after the Revolution both
furnaces and FORCES were built in York
County, and about 1916 there was a
sheet mill in this county; also nail
factory. In 1862 an air furnace was
erected on o neck of land between
Cooper and Ashley Rivers, where good
castings are saiti 10 have been made.
Tench Coke enumerates two blo0maries
IN Spartanbgrg County, in 1910, four in
Pendlet0n County, two in Greenyille
County and one in York County, nine
In all. He also mentions one small,
nailery and one small steel furnace in
the State. He makes no reference to
blast furnaces. In the census year of
1S40 there were four blast furnaces in
South Carolina end nine bloomaries,
FORCES and rolling mills. In 1866 South
Carolina had eight furnaces-one in
York, one in Union and six in Spartan
burg County. They are described by
Lesley. -Four Of these furnaces were
then in operation. but the other four
had been virtually abandoned. In
1866 there were also three rolling mills
in the State-one in York, one in Union
and one in Spartanburg County, all of
which were active in that year.
"Owing to the entire absence of min
eral fuel, it is perhaps too much to hope
that South Carolina will coon see re-
vival of the manufacture Of iron within
it's borders, but it is not at all improba-
BILE that in the near future it's valuable
deposits Of iron ore will be mined and
shipped on q large scale. Better rail-
road facilities than now exist would
hasten this end

FROM THE NATIONS CAPITAL.
From Om O.os Coryssspo poaasat.

wAsH1NGIoa. D. c., Dec. n, 1900.
Even the Senate, two-thirds Repub-
lican as it is, could not stand for the
canal treaty as negotiated by our An
glomaniac Secretary Of State and up-
held by nnr easy going President.
The Davis amendment, which gua~an-
tees to the United States the exact
privileges guaranteed to the Sultan of
Turkey by the SGes convention, has has
been adopted by the Overwhelming
vote of 85 to IL, The treaty itself has
not yet been voted on, but an agree
ment has been reached to still further
amend it by q clause DISTINCTLY abro-
eating the Clay tom Balwer treaty,
which it supersedea. and by striking
out the clause compelling this country
to submit its action in regard to q
strictly American enterprise to the
supervision of the European nations.
The clause prohibiting Qualifications at
the ends of the canal may also be
stricken out, and there is even n possi-
bility Of the entire treaty being in the
end defeated. just what will be done.
if this is accomplished tits hard to. say.
If the President were o. differeEt sort
of man and the Secretary of State
less welded to British ideals, th ere is
little doubt that resolution would be
passed declaring the Clayton .Bulwer
treaty invaliaated by Britain's own
violation Of years ago. AS .he situa-
ton stands, however, lIr. Hay ex-
presses his doubts as to whether the
Senate may not so amend the treaty
that he cancot in decency submit it to
Great Britain. If he feels this way
about an amendment, there can be no
doubt how he will feel about complete
abrogation.
A most curious incident occurred at
the exercises in the chamber of the
House on Wednesday last in celebra-
ton of the Centennial OF tho founding
of the seat of Government in this city.
Among the decorations OF the cham
Der were q number of flags, one of
which was that of Crest Britain.
There was naturally some comment
upon this. arising 4 .om the fact that
the banner has never been seen in or
on the Capitol since the day when it
floated proudly over the building, after
the same had been fred by the British
troops under General Ross. "a Gem
tennial celebration OF the Capital hard
ly could have been complete without
some striking allusion to that interest
ing fact and how could it be empha-
sized better than by swinging the
British ensign from the House gallery

of Congress- in what is now Statuary
