TALK OF AN EXTRA SESSION.
Runor That President VIII Call Con.
gress Together In Special Ses.
sion After March 4th.

From Ill that can be learned in
Washington, the report that an extra
session Of congress will be called Inn
mediately after adjournment, March
next is based on fact.
That President Roosevelt has been
considering such a move is known,
and the rapid march of events since
Speaker Henderson's withdrawal has
made such action on the part of the
republican party advisable, II not i'm
perative.
One OF the plans suggested to the
president Is the appointment Of a tar
III revision commission during the re-
cess OF congress and report to that
body next year.
Chairman Grtggs, Of the democratic
campaign committee, says that Roose-
welt is the strongest speaker in the
field for the democrats.

Two SwindIers at Work.


Two well-dressed men Of gentle
manly bearing, representing them
selves as agents of a well-known Chi
cago supply house, have been swind-
ling farmers in several counties in this
state. Their latest operations have
been in Richland, Lexington and Lau-
rens counties. They Travelled by pri-
vate conveyance and collected sums
of money ranging from SO to $50 on
articles to be shipped in periods Of
from ten to fifteen days, considerably
under the listed prices in the cata-
logues, which they exhibited.
H. M. Smith, of High Point, Lau-
rens county, holds a receipt for $40
signed by B. F. Jones, one of the two
men, in payment of a high-grade bug
gy which was to be shipped in twelve
days.
At the expiration of the twelve days
no buggy having arrived Mr.. Smith
telegraphed the alleged Chicago house.
which informed him that they employ
ed no travelling agents and the men
were imposters and frauds. In cte
meantime information was received
from a point in Georgia that two men
answering the description of Jones
and his companion had been operating
the same scheme there and were badly
wanted by the authorities in that
state. Warrants have been sworn out
by farmers in several counties for the
arrest of the swindlers.

PRESIDENT ON JAUNT
Receives Royal Welcome by Citi'
zenS of Cincinnati.
MAKES SPEECH ANENT TRUSTS
Guest of Honor at Annual Festival.
People of Detroit Also Extend
Patriotic and Enthusias
tic Welcome.

Roosevelt day at the Cincinnati fall
festival Saturday broke all records Of
attendance at these annual carnivals.
President Roosevelt was the attrac-
ton as we'll as the guest Of honor and
he served his hosts with untiring will
ingness continuously from 10 a. m.
until 10 D. M, without consulting his
own convenience or comfort.
The directors of the fall festival had
arranged an elaborate program for
every hour of the day and night and
the president was always ready, so
that none of the events were behind
time. Everywhere the chief eXecu-
tive was the recipient of the widest
enthusiasm. The president arrived to
the minutes from his hotel and ar
rived at the exposition grounds at the
scheduled hour. The same precision
characterized the evening demonstra-
tions.
The president was kept on his feet
and busy for over twelve hours, with
the exception Of the time at the noon
luncheon and the evening banquet,
and even then he was engaged in dis
cussing matters of public interest with
the guests of honor ct his table.
Among the indulgencies Of the day
was an hour or more in the afternoon
in sightseeing at the fall festival, in
cluding a variety of "side shows" Al
ter this experience he was escorted
into the auditorium or music hall,
which is on the exposition grounds,
and delivered an address to an in
mense audience, over 1000 business
men and manufacturers being seated
on the stage with him.
After being welcomed officially by
Mayor Fleischman and introduced, he
was again greeted with such a de-
monstration that the bands broke in
and secured order After thanking May
or Fleishchman and the officers of the
festival for their courtesies and the
audience for it's hearty greeting, the
president especially requested atten-
ton, as he proposed, as the chief execu-
tive of all the people, without regard
to party, to make an argument on Sc
rious question Silence prevailed un-
til the first mention of the trusts,
when the applause broke out and con-
tinued at frequent intervals.
While speaking about holding corpo-
rations to the same responsibility as
individuals, he was interrupted by a
demonstration of approval. There was
another demonstration when ne ad'
yocated such a constitutional amend
ment as would give national control or
such corporations as had outgroWn the
jurisdiction Of the state.
Detroit Extends Welcome.
For the second time in its history
Detroit entertained the chief execu'
/; tive of the nation. President Roosevelt
arrived at s o'clock Sunday morning
over the Michigan Central railroad and
found Detroit awaiting his arrival IN
gala attire. Flags were flying, the city
was bright with bunting and pictures
of President Roosevelt greeted the eye
at every turn. Throughout the day
a 1;,od Tho etreets about the HO
tel Cadillac, anxious for a glimpse OF
the chief magistrate and his appear
ance was always the signal for enthu
siastic cheering.

Standard Oil Company Sues.

A Spartanburg dispatch says: Dur
ing the next week an interesting case
will be heard before Judge Buchanan.
The Standard Oil Company will enter
suit against the city of Spartanburg to
Rover $3.50, which sum was paid by
the corporation into the municipal
treasury for the license to do business,

viding for such cases. The attorney
for the Standard people will claim that
the action on the part of the defendant
is contrary to the constitution. Mas
ter in Equity ]. ]. Burnett, has been

vile, is attorney for the plaintiff and
S. J. Simpson, of Spartanburg, will ar
que the claims of the city.

Moods Declines Honor

Hon. G.. A. Woods. of Marion. has
declined to accept the presidency of
the. South Carolina college, which was
recently rendered him. This announce
ment will be received with regret by
the friends Of the Institution through
out the state. A committee from the
board of trustees, consisting of Messrs.
McMahan and MacFarlan1. went to
Marion and waited upon Mr.. Woods.
Mr.. McMahan returned to Columbia
with copy Of Mr.. Woods declination.
In his letter Of declination to the gov
ernor, Mr.. Woods says in part:
'To the right man, there is no sta
ton in the state CT greater opportunity
for usefulness, and none where sue
cessful effort could bring more joy. |
have tried to think you are right in
regarding me equal to this opportun-
ity, but then, after the most careful
consideration of the earnest and
strong presentation of your views by
your distinguished committee, cannot
bring myself to the conviction that |
could reasonably expect to win sue
cess. I am unframed in educational
matters. and without that insight and
acuuaintance with the science Of cdn
cation requisite for the position. The
labor of my life has beer in another
field, and am unable to resist the con-
clusion that to make this change nc:"'
would be TOO great a peril to the col
lege."

pacity throughout the collegiate year.

DRIVEN FROM MOTHERS BIER.
Belgian King Grossly Insults His
Mourning Daughter.

Mourning Daughter.
A special from Brussels, Belgium.
says: The scandal arising from the
revival Of the family quarrel between
King Leopold and his daughter. the
Princess Stephanie Countess of Lon
yay), beside the bier of the late queen
Marie Henrietta at Spa Sunday, is ag.
ltatlng all classes. Popular sympathy
on all sides is expressed for the prin.
cess. who although deeply affected by
the incident, makes no complaint The
princess herself has given out simple
statement Of the facts as follows:
"The precise facts are these: was
praying at the bier Of the queen when
some one came about o'clock to tell
me the king would not receive me. l
Immediately left the death chamber I
had no Interview with his majesty"
II was at Cromer, England when I
learned Of the death Of the queen. Like
a loving daughter and a patriot, hur-
ried to Spa, to render the last honors
to my mother.
"As the king has caused an intima-
tion to be conveyed to me that he does
not desire my presence, am going to
Calais where my husband will meet
me. Thence shall probably return to
England. There was no scene be-
tween the king and myself at Spa"
1t was hoped by the public, who ap-
plauded Princess Stephanie with the
Count Lonyay, that the death Of the
queen would lead to healing the rup-
ture, but the incident at Spa Is taken
to demonstrate that the king is ire
concilable to what has been openly
designated as a misalliance, even fter
the approval Of the Austrian emperor,
Francis Joseph. The princess will not
be present at her mothers funeral.

In an awful crash of humanity
caused by a stampede in the Shiloh
negro Baptist church at Birmingham,
Ala, Friday night one hundred and
FIVE persons were killed and about
ninety seriously injured.
The calamity occurred at 9 o'clock,
just as Booker T. Washington had con-
cluded his address to the national con-
ventien of Baptists, and for three
hours the scenes around the church
were indescribable.
Dead bodies were strewn in every
direction and the ambulance service
of the city was utterly incapacitated
to move them until after l o'clock a.
m.
The injured were first looked after
and dozens Of dead bodies were ar
! ranged in rows on the ground outside
the house of worship awaiting removal
to the various undertaking establish
ments, while more than a score were
laid out on the benches inside.
The church is the largest house Of
worship for negroes in birmingham,
and the pastor says there were at
least 1000 persons in the edifce when
the stampede began. Instructions had
been issued to allow no one else to
enter, but the negroes forced their way
inside the building, and were standing
In every, aisle. The entrance was ht
orally packed.
80 Origin Of Horror.
Just as Booker Washington conclud-
ed his address, Judge Biliou, negro
lawyer from Baltimore, engaged in an
alteration with the choir leader con-
corning an unoccupied seat, and it is
said a blow was struck. Some one IN
the choir cried, They are fighting"
Mistaking the world fighting" for
"fire," the congregation rose en- masse
and started for the door. One OF the
ministers quickly mounted the ros-
trum and admonished the people to
keep quiet He repeated the word
quiet. several times and motioned
to his hearers to be seated. Again the
excited congregation mistook the word
quiet for fire, and rushed pell NELL
for the door, Men and women crawled
over benches, fought their way into
the aisles and those who had fallen
were trampled upon like cattle.
The: ministers tried again to stop
the stampede, but no power on earth
could stay the struggling, fighting
mass of humanity. The screams of
women. and children added to the hor-
ror of the scene and through mere
fright many persons tainted, and as
they fell to the floor were crushed to
death.
The level of the floor is about Is
feet from the ground and long steps
lead to- the sidewalk from the lobby
Just outside the main auditorium.
Brick walls extend on each side of
these steps for six or seven feet and
this proved veritable death trap. Ne
groes who had reached the top of the
steps were pushed violently forward
and many fell Before they could
move others fell upon them and in fif-
teen minutes persons were piled upon
each other to height of 10 feet. This
wall of struggling humanity blocked
the entrance and the weight of fifteen
hundred persons was pushed against
It. More than twenty persons lying
on the steps underneath the heaps of
bodies died from suffocation.
Two white men who were in the rear
Of the church when the rush began
escaped, and. realizing the seriousness
of the situation, rushed to the corner

as one of the party. On the preteXt Of
obtaining some sugar, she slipped into

when Williams, the man answering the
description given by Miss Clark, was
found in an unoccupied house, which
ne had broken into, near Vauclusa. He
vas taken by surprise and captured
without effort. When CaDtured he was
dressed in blue overalls. a red shirt
and a pair of odd shoes, the same
costume he was described as wearing
when the crime was committed. The
odd shoes were particularly noticed, as
these peculiar tracks were found out

after.
The people were wrought UP and
had he remained in Aiken he would
almost certainly have been lyncheG.
