Columbia Citizens Will Ask that Ap-
pointment Of Collector Be Rejected.
Politicians in Charleston, s. c.,
Thursday were startled by q report
from Columbia that Iead1ng cdtzens
were uniting in petition to President
Roosevelt urging him not to issue 9
commission to George R. Koester, re-
Gently appointed collector Of internal
revenue, for the reason that he had
fired the first shot at negro who was
being strung to tree by a lynchinS
party. The statement is made that
afidaYits have been secured from
newspaper men and others who were
at the lynching, in which it is alleged
that the ball from Koester's revolver
helped TO put the negro out OF bust-
ness. The republicans say that Editsr
Gonzales, of The Columbia State, long
known as Koester's personal enemy,
and the bitter opponent Of Senator
McLaurin, who secured Koestc-s ap-
pointment, is the prime mover in tLs
fight. The day after the appointment
was announced The State, among 9TH
er things, said:
"Perhaps it was President Roose-
yelt's sporting blood that caused him
to choose George r. Koester for col
lector OF internal revenue. Koester
has, not like the president record
for potting cougars and Spaniards, but
he is a fellow-sportsman. He has been
known to claim that he discharged the
first shot at Niger when that object
of the chase was strung up by lynch
ers near this city few years ago..

Studying Cotton Diseases.

w. A. Orton, assistant pathologist
n the department of agriculture at
Washington. has just completed field
experiments with the cotton wilt dis
:ase, known also in South Carolina as
blight" and in other places as black
leart."
Mr. Orton has studied this disease in
he sea island cotton for three years.
it was thought at one time that 1t
would prove a serious menace to cot
.on culture, but he says that danger is
low practically over. 1t has been
found possible to secure a variety OF
lotion practically immune to the wilt
disease by selecting seeds from heal
.hy plants tnat have grown in badly
diseased fields. In every field attacked
oy this wilt there may be found some
plants that have resisted it, though
Ill the other plants around them have
)een killed. Seed from these plants
sill grow where any other cotton
;ould die.
E. L. Rivers, of James Island, who
1as the first planter to make this Sc
ection of an immune cotton, has been
lotably successful in his attempts, and
he department is having seed grown
)y Mr.. Rivers and others for general
distribution, especially in the sea is
and cotton districts of Georgia and
florida, where the wilt disease causes
auch loss.
The problem of it's control is very
:evere one and must be undertaken by
he government, as few farmers can
give the attention necessary for the
selection Of a resistant variety in up
land cotton, which is more susceptible
10 the disease than the sea island.
The department of agriculture has
therefore begun experiments in sever
al states, but especially in Alabama
and South Carolina, with the aim of
developing variety Of upland cotton
not subject to the wilt disease. II this
can be done it will save the cotton
planters hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars.
The department will endeavor to
improve the. quality and productive
ness of the cotton at the same time,
while another branch Of the work,
which now promises great results, is
the development of long staple up
land cotton. The experiments made
Columbia this year by Professor
Webber have been full of interest and
value.

koester's Friends Explain.

A Charleston dispatch says: Friends
of George R. Koester, whose appoint
ment as collector of internal revenue
is opposed because he took part in a
.ynching in Lexington county some
years ago, have made statement in
the affair. According to this version,
Koester, who is editor Of The Colum-
bia Record, went with the mob to re-
port the lynching. When the negro
was caught he was strung to tree and
the mob was making ready to burn
him alive, when Koester protested that
t should not be done. Wed like to
see you help it" said one OF the lead
ers. "I'll kill him first" answered.
Kcester, and it IS said that he whip
ped out a revolver and fired. Rooster
claimed to have acted with the desire
to save the negro from slow torture.
The mob, he said, was bloodthirsty
and, wild for the negro's life, but was
not willing to kill him outright.
The Koester element claims now
that he did a humane act, inasmuch as
he was powerless to save the negro.

ANTI-IOXINE KILLS lNNOCENTS
Alleged Remedy For Diphtheria Causes
Death of Many Babies In St.
Louis From Lockjaw.

A St. Louis, Mo-, special says: The
list Of deaths attributed to lockjaw as
a result Of the administration Of diph-
! liberia anti-toxine manufactured by the
city chemists number eleven, two new
deaths being reported Friday. Eleven
other children are reported to health
department as suffering from lockjaw,
with slight chances for recovery. The
cause of lockjaw in each case is SAID
to be poisoning from the city's diph-
| iberia anti-toIine.
AS a result of the charges, the health
| department has begun the free distrl-
| button Of tetanus anti-toxine. 1t is de-
signed to inject the serum into the
blood Of the diphtheria patients who
| have been inoculated with the tetanus
infected serum and this exposed to
| lockjaw.
The health department has announo-
ed that no more dlphtheria anti-toxine
;:ill be manufactured by the city OF St.
| Louis.
The investigation ordered by the
| city coroner to determine positively
| the cause Of the deaths Of the eight
children who are alleged to have died
of lockjaw following the administra-
| tionof the city's anti-toxine Is being
pushed, and it is expected that It's
object will be accomplished In a few
days. Doctors Bolton, Fish and Wal
dron, three OF the most experienced
psychologists in st. Louis, are max
| ing tests with the anti-toxine and the
serum taken from the spinal columns
OF the dead children.
DR.. Ravold, city bacteriologist, who
made the anti-toxine CON planned OF
from serum taken from horse which
developed tetanus on October 1, and
was shot, declares that If the animals
system contained tetanus bacilli on
| August "a, when the last serum was
| taken from him, it was impossible to
detect it by an inspection OF the horse
At the Baptist hospital an independ.
ent investigation has convinced Drs
A. B. Nichols, P. C. Harris and c. G.
Morris that the presence OF tetanus
germs Ia the city anti-toxine is in
disputable A guinea pig was inocula-
ted with the anti-toxine Wednesday
night, developed symptoms OF lock-
jay Thursday morning and died Fri
day.
Agnes keenan,, the 7-year-old daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. William keenan,,
died Friday from tetanus. Ches-
ter and Mamie keenan, are also suffer
ing with lockjaw and their physician
does not hold out any hope for their re-
covery. Two Of the keenan, children
who have died were inoculated merely
for the sake of precaution, neither OF
them being sick, though both had been
exposed to diphtheris.

Naval Station Plans.

4 Washington dispa:ch says: The
report of the naval board, headed by
Rear Admiral Henry c. Taylor, charg-
ed with the preparation Of plans for
the new naval station at Charleston.
gives in detail all the improvements
deemed necessary at Charleston for
the installation Of the buildings Of the
station. 1t proposes that Cooper river
is dredged to depth OF thirty-two feet
below mean low water and that the
dredged material be deposited so as to
raise the grade six feet above high wa
ter to guard against any danger Of
flooding. In lieu OF piers extending
into the river, the board recommends
that a basin be dredged to a depth Of
thirty-two feet below mean low water
to contain two piers in order to afford
the needed water front, where vessels
may lie without obstructing the chan
mel. A site for two dry docks has been
selected in the low land in prolonga-
ton of the re-entrant basin. and q
short pier will be provided between the
two to facilitate the docking and un-
dertaking of vessels. 1t Is the plan to
protect the water front of the working
part of the station with great sea
wall having a depth Of water in front
of thirty-two feet. There was some OBJ
lection to the boards selection of site
for the hospital on the ground that
while it was on high ground far remov-
ed from the working part fthe sta
ton, an absence of trees made the site
undesirable. The board, therefore. sug-
gests the acquisition of tract Of land
in the immediate vicinity of the sta
tion which will satisfy all desired con-
ditions.

Officers.

The port of Liverpool, England, has
been declared infected with the ou'
bohic plague. Arrivals from LiVerpooi
in Italian ports will undergo the Gus
tomary disinfection.
The bubonic plague has reappeaned
in Glasgow, Scotland, during the week.
Four suspected cases were removed
from the Central Station hotel belong-
ing to the Caledonian railway and one
died Thursday. The totel has been
closed and all guests have been warn
ed to leave instanter. It appears thae
all the cases under suspicion are ser
wants Of the hotel.
An examination Of the bacteria
proves conclusively that the disease Is
the bubonic plague. The municipai
authorities in a notice announcing the
fact urge all householders to destroy
rats.
The United States consul at Liver
pool has cabled to the state depart
ment that two cases of bubonic plague
and few other suspicious cases have,
developed in a hospital at Liverpool.
The facts were communicated to the
marine hospital service. Surgeon Gen.
eral Wyman has cabled Surgeon Thom-
as. now at Naples, who did similar
work at Glasgow some months ago, to
proceed Immediately to Liverpool and
Investigate the outbreak and keep this
government advised Of the situation.
This is the first outbreak in Liverpool
Of the plague in the recollection OF the
authorities here. No immediate dam
ger to United States ports is appre-
hended, although there will be much
more rigorous examination Of incona-
ing vessels and passengers from Liv-
erpool by the health authorities than
heretofore.
DR.. A. H. Doty, health officer Of the
port of New York, is not alarmed over
the fact that Liverpool, with which
New York has much commercial inter.
course, has been declared plague In
fected port by the Italian and French
governments. He says that New York,S
health is in no way threatened. He
explained that Liverpool has only two
authenticated cases Of the plague and
these were conveyed there from anoth-
er port, being taken at once on their
arrival to the special hospital so that
the general public is in no sense In
volved.

Great Host Of FilipInos Rush Upon
Small Company Of the Ninth
Infantry.

Advices received Thursday morning

mand OF Sergetna WAlford, who had
been sent from Basey TO San Antonio
to Investigate and report in regard to
the number of bolo men in the yioin-
fty, were viciously attacked by 14s IN
surgents, who rushed on them with
great violence, killing two OF the SOL
diers and wounding two others. Will
ford remained cool and collected dur
ing the attack and the survivors say
he acted splendidly. Fourteen OF the
insurgents were killed. Captain Book
miller, of Company G, recommends
Willford for a medal Of honor, and
Privates Swanton and Vero for eertih'
Gates Of merit
General Hughes reports the com
plete surrender Of insurgents on the
island Of Cebu, consisting OF $50 men
aad $50 officers, with $50 rifles and s
brass field pieces.
The pouring Of troops into the Is
land OF Samar is believed to have had
a good effect on the Cebu insurgents
who have been wavering for some
time. The malcontents kept up the
conaict by saying that majority Of
the American troops had LETT the Phil
ippaes.
Cebu Trouble Settled.
