SENATOR Latimer'S good roads bill,
which has been pending in the senate,
has been carried over to the next seS-
sion. The measure calls for an appro-
priation of s24,000,000 to be used for
the improvement of the highways of
the country, and the public generally
will receive the benefits of the leg
islation. Mr.. Latimer has been most
Jealous advocate of this movement and
he will not lose faith because action
has been deferred. In the meantime he
will continue to agitate the movement
and the speeches he has delivered in
various states have shown the most
gratifying results. There is more than
a possibility that the bill will receive
favorable consideration at the next
session of congress, and realizing what
it will mean to the people it should be
endorsed by all members.-Greenville
News.
While there is no question of the
fact that Senator Latimer has accom-
plished a great deal in securing a ia
vorable report on this proposition, we
fear that it will be a long while before
he gets his bill enacted into law. The
idea, however, is a good one. Than
the improvement of the public high
ways there is no question more worthy
of the attention of the Federal and
state governments, and we sincerely
hope that the suggestion Of the News
will be realized.

would be called up for consideration
tomorrow. Senator Gallinger Of New
Hampshire brought the matter up. He
said the case had been passed over in
the understanding that Senator Till
man had. to leave washington at once.
and that the senator did not leave for
several days afterward. Senator Lati-
mer and other Democrats came to the
defense of Senator Tillman, who was
virtually charged with having secured
postponement on a mere pretext. The
Democrats have warned the Republi-
cans that if they undertake to act on
the confirmation tomorrow they will
prolong the session indefinitely.

ALTHOUGH quite a number of the
South Carolina papers are deVoting
more or less attention to national pol
itics, they do not seem to be able to
arouse a great deal Of interest one way
or the other. The business element of
the state recognizes that South Carolina
is such an inconsequential factor in the
situation as not to warrant much both
er, and nobody has been able to stir
up the noisy element. There are indi-
cations that the coming presidential
campaign will be warm one in the
north and west. as we'll as in parts of
the south; but the outlook is that
South Carolina is to have less politi-
cal excitement this year than usual
and after all we do not know but that
our people are entitled to congratula-
tion rather +han otherwise.

Remarkable Escape of Russian Prince
From Doomed Battleship.

Remarkable Escape Of Russian Prince
From Doomed Battleship.
Mr.. Charles Z. Hands sends from
Harbin to the London Daily Mail,
Grand Duke Cyril's personal story of
his escape from the Petropavlovsk dis
aster, as follows:
Grand Duke Cyril at the moment
Of the explosion on board the Petro-
pavlovsk was on the bridge, at the
other end of which was Admiral Max
aroff.
1T seemed as though the world, with
the skies and waters, was suddenly
rent asunder, and from the gulf arose
a devouring cloud, with binding flame,
which burst with deafening roar into
the acrid, suffocating fumes.
"Scorched, blinded, choked and stun
ned, he recovered consciousness suffi-
ciently to recognize that in the inter-
val the Petropavlovsk had settled down
by the head. Dead bodies were floating
off from the forecastle deck, which was
awash. Around lay the 'wreckage Of
the fallen top hamper, and scalding
steam cut off escape by the compan-
ionway. -
"He family remembers realizing the
necessity to get aft, as he was more
likely with some way still on the ship
to get clear Of the suction
when she sank he recalls swarm
ing hand over hand down from the
bridge and making his way through
the smoke, flame, steam and still suf-
locating fumes among heap of human
debris along the deck and ascending
the incline with the rising water as 1t
seemed to be pursuing him into the
barbette, into which the water was al
ready pouring with such force that he
required all the strength he could mus
ter to battle his way through.
He reached the port side, however,
and dived.
Now he recalls how that, while div
ing, the thought flash ed across his
mind that he must dive deep and swim
as far as possible before rising, as that
was his only chance Of clearing the
imminently sinking ship.
$50 he dived down and outwards
with all the force Of an athletic, prac-
tical swimmer, until his temples were
bursting with the effort Of retaining his
breath.
"Then he struck upwards. He had,
however dived so deep that 1t seemed
as though he would never reach the
surface, but at last light came and he
reached the air.
HE supported himself while he filled
his lungs on a piece Of floating wreck
age which he had seized and to which
he assisted another struggling SWIM
mer.
"He then looked round for the Petro-
pavlovsk..
"She was not to be seen. The sea
was quite calm, and except for gentle
rise and fall the woodwork to which
he was clinging with his companion
was quite motionless, but with each
upward swing he swept his eyes
around the smooth bosom of the placid
sea for the great ship, but there was
no sign, no trace. except floating bod
les and a very few buoyant articles,
still fewer battling swimmers.
"The Petropavlovsk, while he was
holding his breath in his dive. had
sunk and the gently heaving bosom of
the imperturbable sea hid her tragedy.
HE did not know how much time
had elapsed, but he heard afterwards
that exactly one minute and forty sec
onds passed between the explosion and
the disappearance Of the ship."-New
York Herald.

an ample and a short crop for the
country. Including the value of the
seed, the loss is equivalent to s49,272,-

loss resulting to Texas from the i'm
perfect weather conditions, which af-
fected that section in common with
other cotton states, is placed at 227.945

JUDGE Gary heard a motion for a
new trial in the Mckay damage case
in Columbia Wednesday. For the loss
of his leg the jury gave Mckay a ver-
dict for $4,000. The judge cut the
verdict to s12,5OO and gave the plaintiff
twenty days in which to decide wheth-
er he would accept or submit to new
trial. The probability is that the case
will be appealed by one side or the
other whether there Is an acceptance
or not.
