mained to him. He who during the
war had never been heard to say an
unkind thing about the Northern
people, after it, did everything in his
power, by precept and example, to
allay sectional bitterness and en-
courage loyalty to the government
of the United States. While he
was President of Washington Col
lege-which position he accepted at
the close of the war---a woman,
whose husband had been killed in
the Confederate army, brought her
two sons to him. Thinking she
would have a listener in sympathy
with he., she INDUCED in a bitter
TRADE against the North, and to her
surprise the general gently said,
"Madam, do not train up your chill
dren in hostility to the government
of the United States. Remember
that we are one country now. Dis
miss from your mind all sectional
feeling and bring them up to be
Americans"
With this freedom from bitter
ness, his spirit went step farther in
it's superb magnanimity as illustrated
in this incident, told by gentleman
of the North:
zone day last autumn the writer
saw Gen. Lee standing at his gate,
talking pleasantly to an humbly- clad
man, who seemed very much pleased
at the cordial courtesy of the great
chieftain, and turned off, evidently
delighted, as we came up. After
exchanging salutations, the general
said, pointing to the retreating form,
THAT is one of our old soldiers, who
is in necessitous ciroumstances.' 1
took it for granted that it was some
veteran Confederate, when the noble
hearted chieftain quietly added, sHe
fought on the other side, but we
must not think of that / after
ward ascertained-not from Gen.
Lee, for he never alluded to his
charities-that he had not only
spoken kindly to this 'old soldier
who had fought on the other side,'
but had sent him on his way rejoic-
ing in liberal contribution to his
necessities"
A man of such mental ability, such
military genius, such religious devo-
tion, such kindness of spirit, such
magnanimity of soul, will have a
permanent place in the respect and
affection of all true Americans

Nine Killed on satilsshlp.

San Juan, January II. -Nine men were
killed and three Others were wounded,
two of them probably fatally, by the
explosion of q powder charge OF an
eight-inch gun on board the United
States battleship Massachusetts, yester-
day morning while at target practice off
Culebra Island. Details OF the OK plosion
wore obtained when the Massachusetts,
arrived here to-day. The explosion
occurred In the starboard aft eight-inch
turret shortly before noon and was due
to the accidental discharge of a perous.
sion primer while the breeeh of the gun
was open. The full charge exploded in
the turret and killed or injured all the
crew OF the gun, numbering nine men.
Ensign Ward X. Wertman, who was In
charge OF the turret, escaped injury,
though he was standing near the scene
of the explosion. Magnificent discipline
was shown by officers and crew. Capt.
Lee and Ensign Clarence Abel immedi.
ately flooded the turret with water, and
Lieut.. Charles +. Hughes and Gunner
Kuhlwein went below to the magazine,
picking mp powder charges, and pre-
vented further explosions, while Lieut..
William O. Cole and Gun Captain Zone
man entered the turret and withdrew
the charge from the other gun, whose
breeoh was open. The survivors of the
gums crew, when rescued, were burned,
mutilated and nearly dead.

Prof. Benjamin Sloan Elected President.

Columbia, January 1.-THE board of
trustees of the South Carolina College at
their meeting this afternoon elected
Prof Benjamin Sloan as president of
that historic institution.
Upon the retirement of President
Woodward the trustees asked Major
Benjamin Sloan, chairman OF the faculty,
to act as president. Mr.. Sloan accepted
the trust, but begged that he be relieved
OF the work as soon aas convenient. His
administration has been 30 marked q
success, his control of the student body
30 complete and mutually agreeable and
his relationship so cordial with the
faculty, that the demand that he he made
permanent president was almost spon-
taneous. The entire student body asked
and petitioned that he be made presi-
dent. and that he consent to be elected,
and then the faculty asked him to serve,
and to-day the board Of trustees unani-
mously asked him to be president of the
college. Major Sloan was in no sense a
candidate, but he was voluntarily and
unanimously selected for the position.
Ho is a man of wonderful tact, and has
that marked impress of discipline that
he acquired at West Point, and which
was later emphasized in the service of
the Confederacy. Major Sloan's strik-
ingly successful administration, his ex-
ceptiopal training and the deep love Of
the students, and the cooperation he is
sure to have from his co-laborers, will
make his most satisfactory administra-
tion, and to-day when he accepted the
position he did so strictly because he
felt 1t duty, and he promised thu best
that was in him. The affairs of th. col
lege are in excellent condition. The ec-
rollment is over 200 and the work is
being finely done.

Coal Riot In Yew York.

New York, January 21.-To-day
a crowd of men, women and children
attacked and captured a train of
seven cars loaded with more than
200 tons of anthracite coal on the
Long Island Railroad, in Brooklyn.
The train crew tried to fight the
captors off, but the crowd was too
big, and the railroad employees were
forced to stand by while the people
filled their bags, baskets, carts,
wheelbarrows and even wagons with
the coal. Many of those who took
the coal say they are willing to pay
for it, and that it was only after
efforts to buy had resulted In failure,
that they decided to raid train.

Fire In the State Hospital for the Insane.

Columbia, S. O., January 90
The State Hospital for the Insane
suffered loss # $4,000 by fire this
morning and had insurance to the
amount of only $4,000. The new
Taylor building, which had just been
completed and which had not been
occupied, was destroyed. The build

patients. The origin of the fire is
not known positively. At one time
it looked as if the fire might spread
to some of the nearby buildings, and
some of the patients were moved to
quarters of safety, but the flames
were checked before they went be-
yond the building which first caught.

Pope Is Chief Justice.

Columbia, January 2O.--There
was little business of Importance
transacted by the Legislature to-day
beyond holding elections. Both
Houses met in joint session. The
first election was for Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court to succeed the
late Chief Justice McIver. Mr..
Moss, of Orangeburg, nominated
Associate Justice Y. j. Pope and
the nomination was seconded by
Mr.. Aull, of Newberry. There being
no other nominations the joint assem-
bly, proceeded to vote and Justice
Pope received every vote cast, the
total being IA. This still leaves a
vacancy on the Supreme Bench, and
the joint assembly will meet again
on day yet to be fixed to elect a
successor to Associate Justice Pope.
An election for Superintendent of
the Penitentiary was next entered
upon. Mr.. Sharpe, of Lexington,
nominated Capt. d. F. Griffith for
reelection, and there being no other
nominations Capt. Griffith was unani-
mously elected.
The next election was for members
of the board of penitentiary directors.
Those nominated were John @. Mob
ley of Fairfield, J. r. Hollis of
Chester, E. E. Tyler of Aiken, M. o.
Rowland of Spartanburg, A. j. San
ders of Sumter. On the first ballot
the vote was: Mobley 1872; Hollis
76; Tyler 53 ; Sanders 1906; Row
land 81. Messrs! Sanders, Mobley

TiIIman, the Murderer.

The newspapers have brought to
us the sad news of the death of
Editor N. G. Gonzales, of the Co.
lumbia State. l am hardly surprised
at anything done by that villain,
Jim Tillman, but was shocked
when learned that he had openly
shot Mr.. Gonzales on the street in
Columbia. Is it possible that the
Lieutenant Governor of my beloved
and native State is murderer of
the vilest sort9 1t appears that way
now. Can it be that the people of
South Carolina elected such man
to that high position 1t cannot be
otherwise.
A highly respected citizen told me
yesterday that he had always voted
for the Tillmans and that he would
continue to support them until they
do something worse than they ever
have. Poor Simple Simon, I am
afraid that you will always be a
Tillman man, for a man can hardly
do worse thing than to commit
wilful and premeditated murder.
You are good man, a prosperous
farmer, perhaps a loyal allianceman,
and all that sort of thing; but, to
be frank with you, l will say that l
simply abhor your political ideas.
Tillman is a heartless, villainous
vagabond who, l suppose, has been
guilty of almost every conceivable
crime except murder; and now,
crazed by drink and debauchery, he
has put forth his murderous hand
and taken the life of his fellowman,
and that without provocation. Be-
cause of the lack of sufficient decent
words in my limited vocabulary to
express my profound contempt for
the murderer, l refrain from saying
anything further concerning him.
Mr.. Gonzales whole life was
summed up in one of his dying
sentences: 81 die martyr to my
State; die willingly in the cause
of right" Wonderful words uttered
by truly wonderful man! What a
pity for such life to be so ruthlessly
cut down He has done more for
South Carolina than any other man
ever has. He was fearless and ever
true to his own convictions. The
dictation of his conscience was his
only guide. AS newspaper man he
was unexcelled by any man in the
State. His editorials were bold and
fearless. The influence of his pen
was strongly manifest in the last
State campaign. Mr.. Tillman
surely felt the sting of Gonzales
pen and wanted to get him out of
the way. l have gathered the fol-
lowing from areport from Columbia ::
"He knew that the faithful advo.
cate of political purity and liberty
must devote his life to the risk Of
loss in maintaining this cause. Civic
righteousness was his creed. This
he taught to others less by his strong,
fearless words than by his fearless
living n His private life was
gentle and pure. His public life
was the stern prophet and unfiinch-
ing martyr of civic righteousness
\ South Carolina has lost a
power whose greatness the world has
not yet realized because they have
not yet missed his voice."
The memory of N. G.. Gonzales
will lingel in the hearts of the peo-
pie of this State for many years, and
they will ever feel grateful to God
for giving the State suoh man.
