There is q movement on foot at
the South Carolina College to secure
for it's library a collection, as nearly
complete as possible, of all books
written by South Csrolinisns. A
special alcove has been set apart for
this South Carolina literature, and it
is the earnest desire of the promoters
of the plan to include the writings
of the living and the dead, and of
natives non-residents of the State as
we'll as residents.
The new county craze has struck
Orangeburg. There are rumors of
a possible attempt to form new
county from portions of Berkeley
and Oraugehurg counties, with prob
ably Holly Hill or Elloree as the
county seat. Whether an active effort
to this end will be made or whether
it is simply suggestion it is not
definitely known. Several attempts
have been made in the past to cut
the county, but the people have
always voted against such PROPOSE
tions, and at this time it would no
doubt prove q very difficult matter
to dismember Orsngeburg.

DR.. Clayton Qualities.

DR.. V. P. Clayton, who wss ap-
pointed United States marshal by
District Judge Brswley, to hold the
Office until the President can appoint
a successor to Marshal Cunningham,
has qualified, and his bond was sp-
proved and put on record in Charles
ton. he will carry on the work of
the department just as ably ss it has
been conducted in the past.
So many strong endorsements have
been sent to Washington in behalf of
Dr.. Clayton that his friends believe
he will be retained in the Office per-
wanentIy, under appointment by
President Roosevelt. He has good
record as lifelong Republican, has
always stood for the best faction and
element of that party in South Caro-
lima, and he has not been identified
with the wild scramble for cfice,
which has stamped 80 many Republi-
cans hereabout. He has made
most excellent officer, says the
Charleston News and Courier.

His Presence at Dedication of the New
Home of the New York Chamber
of I'M Is Desired.
RESTS WITH KING EDWARD
WHO MAY I'VE PERMISSION AS A
MATTER OF STATE POLICY.
Women Who Have Married
Englishmen Are ChampiOning
the Proposition.

NEW YORK, April 5.-There is the high
est authority for the statement that the
Chamber of Commerce of New York will
invite the Prince of Wales TO attend the
dedication of it's new home in August or
September. Negotiations of a semi-official
character have been under way for the last
two months, but nothing definite will be
known until May or June. AS a matter of
fact, no formal invitation has yet been sent
to the Prince of Wales, in spite of state
ments to the contrary, but it is not too
much to say at this time that such an in
vitation will be forwarded with every pros
pect Of It's acceptance. The matter has not
been taken up by the diplomatic representa-
tives of the United States in London, save
in the sense that Ambassador Choate hap
pens to be the close personal friend of
President Morris K. Jessup and other lead
ing members of the chamber. Considerable
correspondence has passed between the
chamber and certain high officials in Lon
don, but it is all of a private or unofficial
character. Representatives of all the lead
ing commercial bodies of Europe will be in
vited to attend the dedication, which prom
ises to be an event OF international impor-
lance.
H1gn diplomatic circles mere are discuss
ing plans. believed to be far advanced, for
a visit by the Prince of Wales to the United
States" says the London correspondent of
the Times. 1.-The administration at Wash
ington is officially forwarding the proposal
for the visit, which, it is understood, re-
ceives the personal sanction of King Ed
ward, some of whose counselors urge the
acceptance of the invitation as a matter
of astute state policy. The splendid well
come accorded to the brother of the Ger
man Emperor is believed to be a ~fOrceful
influence in this connection. The princes
visit will be in acceptance Of an invita-
ton to the dedication of the magnificent
new home of the New York Chamber of
Commerce. A committee of that body has
been in communication with the royal
household and Cabinet members directly,
and also through Ambassador Choate.
While actual decisive acceptance has not
yet been promised, it is the understanding
in the diplomatic world that such an ac-
ceptance soon will be announced officially.
The arrival OF j. Pierpont Margon may
facilitate the negotiations. Mr.. Morgan. it
is intimated, brings an added invitation
from the New York Stock Exchange for
the dedication of it's new building. Amer
lean women who have married eminent
Englishmen are notable champions Of the
proposed visit"

A SALOON.
'Deafy" McCarty Shot I'm the Arm by
Dennis O'Brien.

Thomas c"Deafy'O McCarty, boiler maker
and police character. is in the City Hos
pital suffering with a fractured right arm,
the result of coming in contact with a bullet
from the revolver of Dennis O'Brien. keeper
Of a saloon at Kentucky and Senate ave-
nues. O'Brien is out of jail on bond. He
is charged with shooting with intent to
kill.
About 1870 o'clock last night McCarty and
a companion went to O'Brien's saloon and
began a Saturday night melee. "Deefy"
questioned the right Of O'Brien to refuse
him a drink. A word war followed. and
O'Brien ordered the boiler maker out of
the saloon.
yen have t t'row me out" shouted
McCarty.
OBrten and his bsrkeeper proceeded to
eject the troublesome pair from the saloon.
McCarty and his companion were safely
given to the street, but not vanquished.
McCarty obtained a Ratchet. He smashed
the front door with the hatchet, and his
partner began bombarding the glass front
with bricks. O'Brien lodged two or three
of the missiles, and then went behind the
bar and got his revolver. The lombard
ment increased in fury, and OBrien opened
ire. Three shots from his revolver ended
the attack of the enemy, and the latter
retreated.
OBrien and his barkeeper were clearing
up the debris when Bicyclemen STREET. and
Losh and Patrolman Rockefellow arrived.
OBrlen was sent to jail by the bicycle
men and then a search for McCarty and
his companion was begun.
McCarty was found in a barber shop at
South and West streets, where he was
bandaging his wounded arm. Patrolman
Rockefellow called the City Dispensary am
bulance and sent the wounded man TO the
City Hospital. The physicians found his
right arm fractured above the elbow. The
arm is badly shattered and may have to be
amputated. McCarty is we'll known to the
police. Several years ago Policeman Ma
roney shot two fingers from his right hand
during a fight at a wedding caused by Nc
Carly smashing a clock, a present to the
bride. He is known as "Deafy" McCarty
because or his deafneSs. He will be kept
under surveillance at the City Hospital and
will be arrested as soon as be is able to
leave that institution.

Referring to American dishes, the general

Prince Henry ordered it at the farewell
luncheon on board the Deutschland to
please his American guests. The German
cooks, however produced the canvasbacks

like, but which the princes party on this
occasion did like. All the royal party liked
