New Pension Raid.

The boys in blue may be great
fighters, but it must he Admitted
that they are great believers in pen
sons. The Washington Post, in re-
fering to the fact that 60, 900 men who
enlisted for the Spanish war have APP
piled for pensions, thinks it will be
we'll that the question of pensions for
them be raised ut once and that this
proposed raid on the treasurer should
be stopped ut The start The Colum-
bia Record says it is nothing less than
an attempt at Il raid, for there can be
no possible reason why that many men

war and suffered no particular hard
ship beyond the usual Inconvenience
and disagreeablc features Of camp life.
Not more than 10000 men were
actually sent to Cuba, and the mortal
ity was $50 for the whole number, and
Of them 2l3 were killed in battle. OF
the other deaths, the investigation Of
IL commission soon after the war
showed that most Of them were for
causes not brought on by reason Of
anything resulting from enlistment in
the army. There can then be no JUS
ticc whatever in pensioning that vast
army Of veterans who have already
applied, and all who will apply have
not done 50 yet, and the Post very

Too MANY Doctors.

At the convention OF tho American
Medical association, in New Orleans,
DR. Billings drew attention to the
fact that The medical colleges are
graduating annually from 1000 TO
lG, 500 physicians, when the actual
needs OF this country call for only
about 2,500. 1t seems Il pity that
some OF these graduates have not en-
tered other professions that are not
SO crowded and can offer better pros
poets for remuneration. Sanitary
engineering. naval architecture. and
the comparatively new profession of
forestry, for instance, are not over
crowded, and there will soon be a
great demand for really competent
automobile engineers. men who com

ona man and thrce women were
Killed and five qp six Injured friday
night Mt 1929 Filth avenue, Pitts
burg. Pa, the building being occupied
by Il dancing aGa.lemy. Tho cause Of
the fatalities was the swapping of the
elevator ropes allowing the cage to
drop 90 feet. hhc dead are SO badly
mashed that Identification has bcen
impossible up to midnight. The only
one whose name may be correct is
Catherine Curtin. On her body was
found a railroad ticket with the name
on it.
Among lhe injured are: Harry
Ltpson, aged D, bruised all over body
and hurt internally; Miss Kate Flani-
gan, 81, bruised all over body and suf-
fcripg from shock; Albert Myers, : D,
fractured leg; Mrs. Lulu Postilwaitc,
scalp wound and body bruised. a
banquet and ball was being held in the
building by the Pennsylvania Electro
Mechanical institute, and every avail
able portion Of the fifth and sixth
floors were crowded by members OF the
institute and their friends.
At about 10 ocl0ck the elevator
with Il load OF l3 passengers started
for the banquet room on The sixth
floor. When that floor was reached
it was found that every place was
crowded and the passengers decided To
90 to the fifth flnor where the tla ncing
was in progress. VII, n be tween the
sixth anu iifin floors tile steel cable
snapped and with resounding crash
that was heiLrd blocks away the cage
dropped with It's load of human
freight.
1t smashed through the floor above
the cellar Of the building and was
stopped by braced post of wood,
three feet below the first aO0r. In
this inaccessible position the passcn-
gers were damned under broken tim
bcrs and twisted steal, yet mono
might have been killed had not the
heavy balance weight, weighing over
a ton, come crashing down upon them.
NIiraculously all but four were able tc
scramble out. The others were pinion-
cd under the heavy weight -Four
were mashed almost beyond recogni-
tion.
Albert Myers was held a prisoner
for more than an hour. While fire.

The scaboard Air Line railway

practically destroyed by fire which
broke out shortly after 10 o'clock Fri
day night. At a late hour the blaze
had not spent itself, but the destruc.
tion Of neatly every building and car
at the yards was about complete. AS
near as can be estimated at this time,
the monetary loss will foot up to

To Break aI.casc.

a suit has been led in Orlngcburg
county by Mr.. John Cart to break the
lease Of the South Carolina and Geor-
gia railroad to the Southern railroad,
on thd ground that it is a violation Of
section /, Of article o, Of the constitu-
tiOn OF South Carolina, which pro-
hibitS the ownership, lease Or opera
tion of competing lines by a railroad
corporation. Mr.. Cart is represented
in the case by Messrs. j. p. X. BRYAN
and Miller s NYhalcy of Charleston
and Adam II. Moss OF Orangebllrg.
The competing line cited by the plain
till as being operated by the Southern
along with the $. e. 4 Ga, is the old
Columbia and Augusta railroad, RIM
ming from Columbia to Hamburg, S.
c., which is now Il part or tic South
crn system. 1t is alleged that the
South Carolina and Georgia. through
it's line from Columbia tn AuguSt;l,
via l'ranchvillc furnished competitive
facilities with the Columbia and
Augusta road until its acquisition by
the Southern on IL lease FIR 999 Years,
April 30, 1899 and that since that
date the traiiic between Columbia and
Augusta li.S been entirely controlled
by the Southern and the constitution
OF the State violated, to the injury Of
shippers at all points along the two
roads. 0rangcburg being on the line
between Columbia and nranchville,
is affected by the conditions and Mr..
Cart claims that his interest have been
hurt and that he is entitled to the
constitutional protection guaranteed
in section {. Of af5loic- fr. Oort
asks damages to the amount of Sat-
200. The suit is brought OH the
ground that the leasing OF this road
violates section I, or article 0 OF the
constitution which forbids the leasing
or purchasing OF Il competing or
parallel line under Il penalty Of q fine
Of 500 Il day, half Of which goes to
the state and half TO the plaintiff.
The Southern railway has not filed its
answer to the suit OF Mr.. Cart and it
will have plenty of time to present
this. The case will not come to trial
for some months, probably, and the
litigation is likely to be extended
