s New Once.

The house wednesday passed Ar.
kibler'S bill to create the Office Of in
Surance commissioner. Two radical
changes were made in the original bill.
The house refused to allow the COVER
nor to appoint, and prefers for the gen.
eral assembly to elect. The other
change is as to the matter Of taxes tC
be paid by insurance companies. The
law now provides that, in addition tC
the regular State, county and NUM-
cipal taxes, the insurance companies
pay special tax Of one-half Of pei
cent on all premiums. Mr.. Nibler pro-
posed a uniform tax Of 2 per cent. cn
all premiums instead OF the regular
and the special tax. But this was SC
amended on Mr.. Moses motion that
the bill now provides that there shall
be no change in the manner Of paying
State, county and municipal taxes. but
that the half Of per cent. on prem
iums be raised to per cent. This
will mean a gain Of ten thousand dol
lars year to the State. For the ag-
gregate amount OF premiums is tTo
million, five hundred thousand dollars,
and l percent. would be twenty five
thousand dollars. Deducting from
this the twelve thousand, five hundred
dollars now received from this Specia!
tax and the two thousand, five hun
Gred dollars for the expenses OF the
Office, the State would Be better OF by
ten Thousand dollars under this bill.

Gathering Inzormation to Be Used

Yeija Nakajima, chief engineer Of
the city of Toxic, japan, and professor
of engineering and mechanics in the
University of Toxic, is in this country
ON tour of inspection. In an inter
view he said:
After careful examination OF
your rivers, harbors and wharfage, ]
have arrived at the belief that can,
by dredging, bring big ships uo 10
Toxic. We are about 20 miles from
Yokohama, and there viii be a lot of
work to be done, but we viii do it. To-
kio has about 1,5oo, 900 abitants, and
her interests would be greater than
they are now if we had a waterway
through which big vessels could pass
to the city. Even at Yokohama ves-.
sells must be unloaded by lighters
THE whole job-dredging and wharf
building-wil, cost about S21, ,oo0, ,oooof,
your money. The interest on money
is high over there and we would have
to borrow great deal. Counting in.
terest and all, the s21,ooo,o0o win
amount to s5o,ooo,0o0 before the job
will be finished. But am sure the city
will do the work. American methods
will be followed"

MESMERIST SUED BY GIRL.
Paris Physician Incurs Endless
Trouble After Bold, Impudeat
Exercise Of His Powers.

DR.. Vial has been indicted at Paris
upon the singular charge of mesmer-
izing q Miss rhorne, an Austrian girl
who was sitting opposite him IN an
omnibus. The defendant admits his
guilt, but pleads scientific interest as
his excuse.
He says that while he was riding in
the omnibus with another physician
THAR conversation turned to hypnotism
as means of controlling innocent peo-
pie for the preparation Of criminal
acts In order to convince his doubt
ing friend, DR.. Vial, having noticed the
nervous disposition Of a girl opposite
him, wagered. that he would put her
in a trance and cause her to follow
them without speaking to her. The
experiment succeeded. He fastened his
eyes upon Miss Thorre ard she soon
gave evidence of being under mesmeric
influences. The physicians then
stopped the omnibus and alighted, fol-
LEVIED by the girl, who dogged their
steps few PAGES behind.

several physicians, experiments were

A prize essay on temperance was re-
Gently published in Liverpool, Eng

prizes must have been fond OF mixed

from the successful paper. The writer
enlarged on the evil of sending chill

of the wedge, which is certain to
spring up into harvest OF drunken

float out into eternity, with no hand
to shake their dying pillow. Brethren.

First-To the utiHtarian point of
view:
What practical good will be accom-
pliShed:
Will it do any good to transfer to
Georgia or North Carolina all the
property and operations Of the com
pany:
The only market now for South
Carolina phosphate rock lit being of
much lower grade than Florida or
Tennessee rock) is to the local manu-
factories-especially those near Char
lesion, owned by the Virginia. Carolina
Chemical company.
This market will be destroyed.
All the laborers and persons en-
ployed by the company in its several
works will lose their employment.
Inasmuch as the property Of the
company cannot be taken and confs-
Gated all its factories would be closed
and the supplying Of fertilizers to the
farmers made more difficult and
costly.
The strongest competitor in the
State will have been forced out.
If, in consequence, there is any ad-
vance in the price Of fertilizers it Is
certain that advance would not go into
the pockets of the farmers.
What, then, can the State gain?
1t would be construed as notice to
all outside capital that it's presence is
undesirable and it's investment at the
risk Of arbitrary destruction.
It would be tantamount to saying
that the State prefers that her citi-
zens should remain poor and her natu-
raj resources undeveloped, and that
she does not desire them to share in
the material progress of the citizens
of other States.
Second-To the standpoint of JUS
tice:
If the company has violated the law
let it be punished. The fact Of such
violation is matter for the courts.
The General Assembly makes laws;
it does not try cases.
Is it fair, then, to try and condemn
a party without hearing him?
The Attorney General has himself
referred the matter to the courts. It
should be left to them to decide.
Lastly--The attorney general asks the
General Assembly to take so e1traor-
dinary step as the summary termina-
tion Of all permission to the Virginia
Carolina Chemical company to longer
carry on business in the State.
He gives as the motive for such &C
tion that the company has removed
the case against it to the Federal
court.
But this is the mere legal exercise
of a constitutional right.
The supreme court Of our State, as
well as the supreme court Of the
United States, has decided that the
right to remove proper cases into the
Federal courts is a constitutional one,
and any Act Of d legislature attempt
ing to prohibit it is void.
The Federal courts certainly exist
for some purpose. They are created
for the very purpose Of trying cases
involving the question OF rights under
the Federal Constitution.
Why, then, should party be per-
secuted for only exercising a constitu-
tional right and carrying case for
trial into the court created for that
express purpose?
Should the State use it's power to
destroy a party for so small and trivial
q reason?

Company.

ANOTHER ARREST.

A dispatch from Charleston says a
United States deputy marshal Thurs
day arrested Daniel Barr, on the
charge OF interfering with the United
States mails. He Is supposed to be
one Of the robbers who held up the
Southern railway passenger train near
Branchvllle Monday night and rifed
the express car.
A warrant hos been sworn out
against Thomas Carson On the same
charge. 1t is thought that fnforma-
tion will be obtained from these men
tending to the capture OF the other
members OF the gang Of highWaymen.
The men were arresteda at their homes
near the scene OF the robbery.

SUSPECTED. ROBBER ARRESTED
He Is Identified by the Man who
Hauled the Safe.

He Is Identified by the Man who
Hauled the Safe.
A dispatch from Branch7ille, under
date Of Jan. 80, says man giving as
his name Francis A. Allen, claiming
to be from Virginia, was arrested this
afternoon near Midway. He is susc
pected Of being one of the express
robbers. There was nothing found
on the man except six watches. BE
laimed to have been in Charleston
the night Of the robbery. The ne
groes working near where the safe
was thrown in the river said that two
men suspected Of being tramps came
out of the swamp, almost in rags, and
asked them II any one had been there
for the safe" They then went back
to the river where the safe was left;
one said to the other: Yes, John our
booty is gone" It is now thought it
was a gang of tramps that heldup the
train and that no one in this section
was connected with the robbery. The
people here cannot understand the ac-
tion OF the express officials in turning
back as soon as the safe was recovered.
1t certainly seems that they should
have made further efforts to catch the
robbers as soon as their property was
recovered. II there is any truth in
what the negroes say that they were
working at the river the morning the
safe was rifed, and the robbers could
hardly have been more than a half
mile away when the safe was pulled
up and might have been captured.
The man arrested Thursday afternoon
was identified by the negro Carson as
being one Of the men in the gang Mon
day night. Allen and the negro Car
son we're taken to Charleston Thurs
day afternoon.

burg Tuesday saying that the safe che
robbers had carried of had been found

the case. 1t had been thrown in the
