SANAp4SA w oaASS ~
The principle is the same as that
which is advocated by the friends of
this bill. Orangeburg is entitled TO
this additional representative, not by
going behind the census returns but
by applying changed conditions to
the census. Had Newberry been
able to get another representative,
he ventured the assertion that Mr..
Dominick would not have opposed
the bill. The house would not be
coDferring favor on Orangeburg,
but would be carrying out the man
dates of the constitution. Mr.. Fra
ser had conceded that this matter of
making apportionment is in the same
condition as if no apportionment had
been made last year and Mr.. Nc
Lauglin contended that if such be
the case the reapportionment act of
1901 should be corrected and is SUBJ
ject to correction. Mr.. Mclaughlin
made a clear exposition of the matter
in a good speech.
MR. EFIRD.
of Lexington agreed with Mr.. Nc
Laughlin of Orangeburg that this
matter should be settled on the facts
in the case, but be thought the facts
are on Lexington's side. He said
that a representative from Lexington
would represent $4,000 people while
in Orangeburg representative would
represent $4,000 people. I9 the last
primary in Orangeburg $500 votes
were cast. showing one representa-
tive for 720 Democratic voters, while
Lexington cast 3,l0O votes and each
Of her two representatives is here
representing over 1900 voters.
Mr.. Eird discussed the constitu-
tional phase of the question. The
census report doesn't show any trans
fer of territory from Lexington and
the house must abide by the census.
AS matter of right and a matter Of
law he urged that Lexington right
fully should have three representa-
ti7es. He showed that the larger
part of Little Mountain was in New
berry any way, Ill of the inhabitants
being in Newberry and SO in Lexing-
ION before the transfer. MIR. E6rd
handled his side of the question in a
very skillful manner, and, no doubt,
won his case.
The discussion was closed by Mr..
Tatum who declared in reply to MIR.
E6rd that the matter of Democratic
votes in county has nothing to do
with the census. There are but l 200
voters in Beaufort county and yet
there are four representatives from
that county.
The previous question was ordered
and by a vote of So to As the bill was
indefinitely killed or postponed.

NEIGHBORS FALL OUT.
Under the ''reapportionment act;
of last year, Lexington, which now
has two representatives, was to get
an additional member Of the house.
Orangeburg lacked just % in popu-
lation of having people enough for
another representative. Last winter
the Legislature passed an act to cede
Little Mountain to Newbsrry county,
part of this town having been in Lex
ington. The Orangeburg delegation
claimed that Lexington's population
was so much reduced thereby that
she should lose her additional repre-
sentative.
Immediately after third reading
bills yesterday Mr.. Moss of Orange
burg called up his bill to reapportion
the representation in the lower house.
The effect of the bill would be that
Lexington would lose one member
and Orsngeburg would profit cor
respondingly.
Mr.. E6rd moved to strike out the
enacting words.
Mr.. Moss explained that the bill
does not seek to take any rights from
Lexington, but to apply the constitu-
tion to the census returns. He ex-
planned that there are 124 represent
atives in the house, one for each TO-
800 of population.
The population of the State is
1,34O,316, allowing one representative
for every 1O,s09 of population. OF
this Lexington, with a population of
27,264, got two representatives with
a quotient of 5,646. Orangeburg,
with population of 1858, got five
representatives with a quotient Of
5,61S. The difference between the
two quotients is %. Lexington got
an extra representative. MFR. Moss
claimed that when Little Mountain
was transferred to Newberry county
the population was changed in
Orangeburg's favor.
Under the reapportionment act OF
last year Orange0urg county lacKed
but % in population of getting an
other representative. Lexington got
the additional representative. Since
that time about 1900 acres had been
cut off from Lexington and given to

ington in the claim for the additional
representative. MIR. Moss was ques-
toned by Mr.. Dominick, Mr.. Towill
and others if this bill would comply
with the constitution. He replied
that the respportionment is made on
the census of 1900, and does not take
into account any growth in popula-
ton, but change in territory as it
affects population. The reapportion-

question of personal privilege"
which means that a member feels
that be has been misinterpreted, pur-
posely misquoted or something Of
the kind.
The debate of the day was that
over the child labor bill and by a
narrow margin it went through
safely, but only to meet with defeat
later.
Mr.. EGrd lost his resolution pro-
viding for the Governor to fill Vacan-
cies occurring on the bench between
sessions of the General Assembly.
This was companion to his biennial
sessions of the Legislature.
The session of today was entirely
taken up in the discussion of the
child labor bill.
SENATE.
The incident of the day occurred
in this body when Senator Elderton
accused Clerk Of the Supreme Court
Brooks with lobbying on the floor Of
the Senate against the passage OF
the bill to fix the liability of railroad
companies having q relief depart
ment to its employees.
The bill to allow women who pay
taxes to vote for Presidential electors
was killed.
The bill to let the county printing
out to the lowest bidder was killed
after debate. Speaking against the
passage of the bill Senator Sharpe
said "the bill ought not to pass. In
his county there are four or five
newspapers, but only one of general
circulation at the court house. If
the bill passes some of the little Sx1o
newspapers, which have no circula-
tion and are run at 40 expense, could
get the advertising and the response
BILE newspaper would be shut out.
He thought this the best bill to kill
that has come up at this session.
The bill to provide free school
books for certain school districts
passed by vote of Is to l6. Speak
ing against this bill Senator Sharpe
Thought the bill dangerous one.
He feared that the trustees might
use partiality-that the children Of
their friends and kins folk would get
free books and others would not"
HOUSE-WEDNESDAE.
The child labor bill was killed in
the House today by vote of 81 to
81. The discussion of this bill was
about the only measure Of general
interest transacted by the House.
The Senate spent three hours in
discussing Senator Ilderton's bill to
regulate the liability of railroad COM
panies having relief department, to
it's employees, and the bill finally
passed by the Lieutenant Governor
casting the deciding vote.
Several committees made reports
on several measures.

Rockport, Mass, Aug. 20.-The
naval search problem on the New Eng
land coast was terminated at $40
yesterday morning by the signal ''sur-
render; demand and unconditional
from Rear Admiral Higginson's flag
ship, and the reply Accept surren-
der from the fore truck of the Prairie,
Commander Pillsbury's flagship. The
battle between the blue, or defending
squadron, and the white or attacking
squadron was thus quickly ended. The
white squadron was trying to make
Salem.
The destruction theoreticaD of
Pillsbury's squadron occurred at a
point just within the outer limit of
Gloucester harbor.
Commander Pillsbury was asked re-
garding his movements, and said that
when he left Provincetown last Tues
day his fleet steamed directly to sea,
running off some 400 miles about
southeast of Cape Cod. His plan was
to lay off there until Saturday night
and then try for Salem harbor. Com
ing on the coast Saturday night he had
first thought of making a feint with
one of his ships in the direction of
Portland, hoping to draw off Admiral
Higginson and the big ships of his
command in that direction, but as a
heavy sea was running and as his
ships were slow of speed and their
bottoms foul, he decided not to do this
and made his run direct for Salem
harbOr.
The only ship of Admiral Higgin-
sons fleet he saw during the entire
period was the torpedo boat Barney,
which he sighted just about the same
time he found he was discovered by
the remainder of the fleet

IDENTITY IN GREAT DOUBT
That Seventy fourth Street Corpse Proba-
bly, Not Minnie MitchelTs.

Chicago, Aug. 2o.-Two articles were
delivered to the police Saturday which
increased the doubt in their minds
regarding the identity of the girls
body found Aug. Z at Seventy-fourth
and State streets, supposed to have
been that of Minnie Mitchell. The ar
ticles consisted of piece of lace and
small gold chain with gold heart
attached Members of the Mitchell
family declared positively that Miss
Mitchell had no such jewelry and wore
no lace like the fragment submitted
for their inspection.
The two articles were picked up
close to the spot where the body was
found. The lace is about nine inches
long by two and one-half inces in
width. The flowers in it are daisies.
The chain is not long enough to have
been worn about the neck. The po-
lice believe that the lace was attached
to the sleeve at the wrist and the
chain worn as a bracelet underneath.
Both the lace and chain were torn as
if they had been broken fOrcibly.

Manila, Aug. 25.-The defense in the
Freedom sedition case called Governor
Taft as a witness to show that many
former insurgent leaders who were
guilty Of various offenses not recog-
Dizable by the laws of war have been
appointed to civil positions. Govern
or Taft gave testimony to the effect
that many such former insurgents had
been appointed, but that they had
proved honest straightforward and
earnest.
He said that some of them had been
guilty of murder by Unitd States stand
ards, but that from their own stand
point they undoubtedly believed their
conduct of the war to have been legi-
innate. Governor Taft said that he
had found these appointees to be loyal,
and that they were not chosen because
they happened to be insurgent gener-
ais, but because they were men of in
fuence among their own people.
