Turkey Pays Indemnity.

Washington, July 10.-The State de-
partment has received the amount of
the American indemnity claim against
Turkey, $4,000. through the Ameri-
can legation at Constantinople.
AS is always the case the claims in
the aggregate considerably exceed the
amount of the indemnity actually
paid, but our government has express
ed itself satisfied with the payment.
It assumes full responsibility for the
distribution, the Turkish government
leaving it to the state department to
distribute the money among the claim
ants at its discretion and after its own
fashion.
These claims are principally based
upon losses sustained by American
missionary and educational institu-
tions in Turkey, notably those at Har-
poot and Marsh, but there are num-
Der of individual claims, such for in
stance as that of the family of the
unfortunate bicyclist, Lenz, the Pitts
burg man who was killed by Turkish
soldiers while attempting to go around
the globe on his wheel.
The state department officials feel
the greatest satisfaction at the settle
ment of these claims. Secretary Hay
had been told by diplomats skilled in
oriental diplomacy and in the political
conditions of southern Europe. that he
never would be able to collect them.
Not only was there extreme difficulty
in bringing any pressure to bear be-
cause of the remoteness of Turkey,
but We had to contend with the jeal-
ousy of the great European powers.
most of whom had claims against Tur-
key vastly larger in amount than ours,
and whose total was beyond the ability
of the Turkish government to meet.
For more than decade these Ameri-
can claims have been pending.

State Board Of Health Meeting.
Epidemic Fund to be Applied TO
Rural Districts.

Columbia, S. c., July 1.-THE
State Board Of Health held a meeting
in this city Yesterday morning and
took action on several matters of i'm
portance. There were five applicants
for licenses to embalm. The board
turned down three of the five, after
examining them and issued licenses to
the other two.
The question of the appropriation
made by the legislature to be used in
times of epidemics was then taken up,
It was the sense of the board that
this appropriation was intended to be
used in the rural districts, and not in
the towns and cities where other pro-
vision can be made. They therefore
decided hereafter to spend this money
entirely in the country and give the
towns the privilege Of making their
own appropriations when emergency
makes such step necessary. Hitherto
the board has used this emergency
fund without discriminating as to the
locality, and the result has been de-
cidedly detrimental to the rural dis
tricts, which were unable to supple
menti it by additional appropriations.
The consideration of the board was
then given to the conduct of certain
boards OF health which have paid alb
solutelv no regard to the law requiring
them to make monthly reports to the
State board in the matter of births
and deaths and diseases.

The West Hot as a Furnace.

Chicago, July 1o.-Not since the
establishment of the weather bureau
has this city experienced such terrific
heat as affected it todav-l02 in the

the west and southwest and a hotter,
more sitting air was never felt in
this city before. So hot did it be

drove the hot air into windows and
docrways that all through the business
section of the city tenants of offices
slammed down their windows to keep
out the air. At the theatres where
matinees were in progress men We're
stationed at the front doors to keep
them closed as much as possible.

The State Hospital for Insane.

The board of Regents for the State
Hospital for the Insane held its regu-
lar meeting at the Institution yester-
day. The board found that the hospi-
tails wards are badly crowded, there
being at this time 1,064 patients in
the hospital. The wards that are
most uncomfortably crowded are those
occupied by the white women. Yester-
dav there were 25 more white women
in the wards than at the same time
last year.
The sporadic cases of smallpox at
the hospital, which have received the
most careful attention, have been
about stamped out. There are only
two cases now in the institution and
both the sufferers will be discharged
cured this week.
The board found that the work on
the Taylor building had not advanced
as much as expected. This has been
due to the inability of the manage.
ment to secure material, particularly
brick.
Otherwise the affairs of the institu-
tion were found to be moving along in
the usual smooth way.

at LAST The ISSUE
HAS BEEN RAISED.
Validity Of Revenue Bond Scrip
Must be Passed Upon.

At last test of the validity Of the
revenue bond scrip, seems unavoidable
Heretofore the attorney of Mr.. Wesley,
the holder of a great deal of the stuff,
has been unable to get officials to take
the desired steps after tender Of the
stuff in payment for taxes in order to
make the issue one that leaves the
court no side track, but county
treasurer has at last done Just what
was wanted and now the matter will
60 to the United States court fairly
upon its merits, and it is said in such
form that the issue can no longer be
avoided. The result of the test Of val
idity will he waited with great public
interest.
The case has developed in the fol-
lowing manner:
In December, 1900. Mr.. ". H.
Lyles, who has been Mr.. Wesley's at
torney for some years, was the owner
of tract of land in the county of Fair
field. Against this property taxes were
levied to the amount of sl5.l6, Of
which s6. .32 VS. levied and assessed for
State purposes. In December Mr..
Lyles rendered to the treasurer Of
Fairfield county S13.l 10 in silver, D
cents in nickel and 8 cents in copper,
a well as 81 in revenue bond scrip.
This tender the treasurer refused to
receive on account of the revenue bond
scrip, and no further payment having
been made, he issued an execution
against the tract. levied upon it and
sold it. It was bought in by some one
from North Carolina. An action has
now been brought in the United States
circuit court asgainst T. B. Lee. Jr.,
to whom Mr.. Lyles subsequently con-
veyed it. This action is to recover
possession of the land.
Thus the precise point that Mr..
Wesley has been trying to make for
the last % years is up before the prop
er court; that is to say the receivable
ity OF this revenue bond scrip for
taxes. This raises the direct question
because IL the scrip is valid obliga-
ton the sale is invalid. while vice
versa if il is invalid the sale is valid
and was g. proper one. It is an issue
that Gov. Tillman was too smart to
allow the State to have raised in the
Agricultural hal; case. The amount of
the revenue bond scrip now outstand-
ing is 81, 800, 000.-The State, July II.

PYTRIAN INSURANCE FAILURE.
A Deficit of s225,ooo That Must
be Made Good if Insurance
Feature is to Continue.

Chiacguo', July 1o.-John a. Hin
sew. former president of the board of
control of the endowment rank,
knights of Pythias, appeared before
the supreme lodge today and admitted
the report submitted yesterday to be
true showing a deficit of s225, 600
which must be made good if the insur-
ance feature Of the order is to contin-
ue.
This reports show that the affairs OF
the endowment rank under Hinsey's S
management drifted into practical in
solvency.
The former president of the board OF
control declared he had done his best
to keep the treasury in sound condi-
ton but that death claims had mount
ed up, investments had turned out
failures, and it had been frequently
necessary to overdraw the ranks ac-
count at the bank.
The report, which was compiled by
the present board of control, excepting
Hinsey, does not charge the latter
and others with misusing the funds,
but states that they were misused.
Hinsey occupied the floor during the
entire forenoon session Of the investl-
eating committee.
To reporters Hinsey said:
'.I am prepared to defend my ad,
ministration against any and all
comers. Ny conduct Of the Office was
perfectly open and above board. The
investments were good and legitimate
and all will turn out all right. :"
John A. Hinsey was ordered tonight
bv the supreme lodge of the Knights
of Pythias to appear before that body
and show cause why he should not be
expelled.
This follows as direct result of the
alleged Irregularities which the new
management of the endowment rank
has found in the books under his
twelve years administration as presl-
dent of the board of control.
The supreme lodge Of the Knights
of Pythias adopted by vote Of 13o to
l the report of the supreme chancel-
lor, with all its criticisms Of Mr..
Hinsey's management, and ordered 1t
published as an official record of the
condition of the endowment rank.
Though $500, 600 assets are in bad
condition, and though almost $500, 0OC
behind-nand in the payment of death
claims, the supreme lodge does not
propose that it shall lose standing be-
cause of the troubles that have been
disclosed.
By a unanimous vote of the lodge an
order has been made that in the fu-
ture no investments shall be made save
by the written order of five out of the
seven members of the board of control
of the rank. This will be formally
adopted tomorrow and no one man
management will be possible in the
future.
In addition to this a resolution is
being considered to raise the rates OF
payments on insurance about 80 pei
cent, so that more funds will be pro-
vided to meet death claims and enough
in addition to make good the losses
and create a surplus in the future.
If this additional burden on beneicia-
ries of insurance policies shall not be
enough, the supreme lodge will also
consider a plan to assess all Knights
of Pythias 50 cents or 81 each for the
benefit of the rank. The lower assess
ment on $500, 600 members would bring
in $3.50, 600.

CONGRESSIONAL BUSINESS.
Private Secretary of Late Con-
gresham Stokes Will Attend TO
All Matters Possible.

To the Editor The Item, Sumter, S. G.
At the time of the unfortunate death
of Congressman Stokes, there was
necessarily considerable unfinished
work of interest to the District, pend
ing in the various Departments at
Washington.
AS his private secretary for about
five years, having for the last several
months of his life entire charge of all
work of congressional nature, I may
be able to furnish parties wishing it,
information in reference to matters IN
which they are particularly concerned;
will gladly do the best I can in this
direction for those who will communi-
cate with me.
Of course, I have no official status,
and whatever am able to do in keep
ing the District in touch with its in
terests, will be the result of private
arrangement made with that object in
view.
Every effort is being made to have
time Rural Free Delivery service, on
routes already laid out, begin at the
earliest moment possible. We believ-
ed that this service would begin the
1st of July, but for some reason, the de-
partment at Washington has not issued
the orders to beign the work, though
we confidently hope this will soon be
done.
Very Respectfully,
a. F. Lever,
