powers to bring them good fortune.
As an illustration of his method Of play
ing on the feminine mind the tale told by
Miss Waters is as good as any lie Roy
advertised that he would answer sealed
questions" of any kind, and in her eager
ness to find out things Miss Waters went
TO him. She said yesterday that she is not
superstitious and did not believe in lie
Roy. but Just wanted TO know
Well. she offered her questions to LIE
Roy. holding them concealed in her hand
and having written them cut at her home.
She says that lie Roy really answered
every question and that she considered IL
marvellous. From that time on he began
to have power over her. she said. ard she
paid him several other visits, until finally
she was persuaded TO give him $50 TO

its first acts. discharged an employe Of the
schools who had given satisfaction for
nearly a quarter of century.
The teachers v no are protesting against
the law and against General HaTries as a
member of the board, say that the same
fate may await any of them any day.
IL is pointed out that General Harries
and Mrs Francis are the only members OF
the present board that have ever served
in the District school board heretofore and
the only members that know anything
OF the personnel OF the teachers. or of the
actual workings OF the school system
Mrs. Francis. it is said. is practically en-
tirely unfamiliar with the white schools
and teachers. For this reason IL is argued.
General Harries will have a very strong
influence from the beginning if he is not
allowed actually TO dominate the board.
And for the same reason il is argued the
case Of Mr.. Fairbrother may be cited as a
particular instance of General Harries'
work.
1t is stated on excellent authority that
many instructors in other cities who have
been asked TO accept positions in the high
schools here have refused them on account
OF the new law. They are not willing

10 accept positions whose tenure is so
insecure.
The stirring up OF the school question
among the teachers and citizens has led
10 many insinuatiOns and charges Of . less

tion was conducted virtually by one or TWO
members Of the investigation committee

with the committee. and that the law was
practically dictated by him and by the
newspaper that was backing him. General

riais in this paper regarding school mat
ters and dictates its policy II is further
asserted that General Harries was person

against Mr.. Powell was a personal matter

cIff fM lhTiMER WORKING HARD
SECURE MONEY DUE US.
UNCLE sam HAS C0UNTER-CLA|M
Against South Carolina, but Il Is Thought Ours
Will Balance With Surplus Committee
on War Claims Promises Early Action.

A Washington dispatch says I:
There seems probability that the
war claims of the Southern States
will be settled at an early date. Con-
gresham Latimer, of the Third Dis
trict, has been assured by the chair
man of the Committee on War Claims
that these old claims, some of them
dating back to the Revolutionary
war, would be pressed for settlement,
either the latter part of this session or
early in the next session of Congress.
South Carolina is one of the principal
States having claims on the govern
ment, but there are eight OF ten other
States in the South which have simi-
lar claims. The government of the
United States has q counter claim
against the State of South Carolina,
but it is thought when the final reck-
oning is made South Carolina will be
little ahead. In The war of 1912
South Carolina was invaded by the
British, and the United States gov
ernment, not having funds to provide
for arms and men to drive them out,
called on the State to assist with a
loan. This loan was made, but the
SUN has never been repaid. The
counter claim Of the United States
government against South Carolina
was caused by the State negotiating
a loan from the Federal government.
These rival claims have been stand
ing for years and no settlement has
ever been reached. There has been
doubt as to which side would be the
gamer if q final settlement of the
claims was ever reached-thc State
or the United States government
The finding of a lot of old papers
pertaining to these claims in rub
bish pile in the State Capitol some
time ago seemed to establish the
fact that South Carolina had the
most money coming to her, and
when a settlement is reached it is
very probable that South Carolina
will lose nothing, even if there is
nothing to gain.

A Chance for Charleston.

Columbia, December 0.-Congressman
James Norton, who was here yesterday
on his way to Washington, talked about
the great good that the tobacco crop has
been to his section of tho State. Hc said
that never before in his recollection
within the last thirty years have the poo
pie of Marion county been as prosperous
as they now are, and he attributed this
great era of prosperity to the raising of
tobacco. lie said that the tobacco crop
for the State for this yer would be from
100000 to 25,O00,O00 pounds.
Mr.. Norton, in common with those
interested in tho tobacco industry, wants
to have the South Carolina product
brought to the front and better known in
foreign markets. lie says the tobacco
bought at Mullins, for instance, for cx-
port is shipped to Danvillc or Richmond,
and exported from thore as "Carolina
Bright" 1t is not known at all as South
Carolina tobacco, and the South Carolina
product has no standing on the markets
of Yokohama, or London, or Hong Kong.
This is all wrong, but Mr.. Norton fears
that it cannot be helped until South
Carolina has its Danvillo. IIe is salts.
fled there will be a great deal Of money
to be made ont Of an exporting com
pany in this State. 1t will save tho cx.
pcnSc Of doubled handling and put the
markets wish Il standing. Mr.. Norton
says it is n rather curious and noteworthy
thing that the Government has never yet
taken official notice Of the tobacco indus
try in South Carolina, although the
annual crop is over twenty million
pounds. He says he is going to get after
Mr. Wilson, Secretary Of Agriculture
and inquire why South Carolina has been
pcrsistcntly left out Of the reports which
are circulated all over the world
Mr.. Norton thinks the agricultural dc.
partmcnt at Clemson ought TO help adj
vcrtisc South Carolina tobacco, and not
let tho South Carolina product be sold
under cover Of the North Carolina and
Virginia reputation, but stand on its
own merits. The tobacco interests real
