NEW LIGHTING PLANT.
City Council Accedes to Proposition
Of Commissioners Of Pub
lie Works.

City council. at its meeting held
"Wednesday night. acceded to the re-
guest of the commissioners Of public
works that the town execute notes for
Indebtedness to be incurred by the
commissioners Of public works in i'm
proving the electric lighting service OF
Newberry, said notes to be met by
the commissioners out of the earn
ingS of the plant.
The resolution: adopted by city
council is as follows:
"Resolved, That the mayor be au-
thorized to execute notes to the
amount OF S4.7oo to be made payable
in two equal annual payments at SIX
per cent. interest per annum. said IN
debtedness to be incurred on account
of, and at the request OF the board OF
commissioners Of public works OF
Newberry for the purpose OF replac-
ing the present electric lighting plant
of Newberry with a larger and more
efficient system.
This resolution is adopted with
the understanding that the said board
OF commissioners agree to pay said
notes when due.
1T is further resolved that it is the
sense of this council that the present
electric system be sold and the pro-
ceeds be applied to the payment OF
said notes"
The proposition OF the comission-
.zrs to which council acceded was pub
lished in full at the time it was made.
The commissioners, after calling at
tention to the fact that the present
plant is seriously overloaded and re-
ouires immediate attention, stated:
with an enlarged new up-to-date
electrical equipment and an engine,
we are positive that we can serve the
city and ali our present patrons with
much better service at at lease $1,000 a
wear less expense. as we'll as enabling
the board to increase the present
number OF lights very materially, and
with this increased lighting increase
the revenue therefrom." The COM
missioners concluded with the follow
ing proposition TO council: That If
YOU will authorize the board to make
these purchases and will give the
manufacturers from whom we are to
BUY this equipment such security as
, they require that we will, out of the
income from the sale Of water and
lights. make the cash payment and
guarantee to meet each time payment
with the interest thereon as they be-
come due. This debt can be paid in
three years or possibly sooner and
the sooner this equipment is INSTALL
ed the sooner will the city OF New
berry be placed. as regards its pub
&c works. on an equal footing with
any other tOW1l IN the state. ana the
sooner will the rates be lowered and
the debt for the same be paid
The whole matter simply amounts
to the council standing good for the
debI and the commissioners paying
the notes out OF their earnings as the
notes become due, and getting the
new lighting plant now, instead OF
waiting until the commissioners have
accumulated sufficient money to pur-
chase the new plant
The commissioners will make
uash payment OF $500 out OF the
amount on hand.

WASHINGTON
SOCIAL LIFE
Civil Service Has
Most Serious
Aspects.
What to Do With Aged
and Sick Officials
a Problem.
The Rich Who Choose the Society
of the Educated Sustain
Democracy.
tMail Special to Advertiser.)


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 24.-The
annual attack on the Civil Service has
been made with the usual result that it
is till maintained. That good Republi-
can, General Grosvenor, was uncom-
monty fierce about it and spoke with
some indignation about the conduct of
members who were opposed to the Civil
Service, voted against it in committee,
but when the matter got into the
House for final action, and their names
were called and their votes recorded,
voted in favor of it, These men he
denounced as towards, who were afraid
of the opinions of their constituents.
The Civil Service is an imperfect ar
rangement for securing the very best
work. That is generally admitted. 1t
is difficult to apply the right tests. Can
didates with good memories have the
advantage. There is no standard for
measuring at once the common sense,
the moral sense, and the capacity for
intelligent labor. A just system of
probation has not been discovered or
adopted. But in spite of these defects
it is better than the old ''spoils system"
There are over $4,000 office holders in
this city and any proposal to abolish
this service, causes much anxiety
them. By a change of fifty
votes thousands of men and women
may be thrown out on the world. More
than 10000 people living in this city
are affected more or less by Office hold
ing. This creates a social condition
that does not exist elsewhere, and
makes one phase of Washington So
ciety unique. There is an all pervad-
ing feeling of democracy, that some
where near or far away there is an
enormous power which shapes things
here, and that all are dependent on it.
There is also another very ugly phase
of the matter. What shall be done
with tie aged, disabled, and infirm
fronted Congress every year, but for
some years it has been thrown over
from one session to another. 1t is
something which the average member
of Congress does not wish to toucl.
The people are not yet ready for Civil
Service pensions. In the mean time
thousands of honest, respectable Of
flee holders have become aged and al
most incapable of work Many of
them can hardly climb the stairways
to their offices. Their work is not
done. To discharge such men
and women would be to drive them to

SISTER OF GENERAL BUTLER.

At her delightful old homestead in
Nottingham, Mrs. Betsy NJ Butler
Stevens, sister of the late Gen. Benja-
min F. Butler, recently quietly observ-
ed her ninety-sixth birthday. With
fair health and her faculties unim-
paired, eyesight excepted, Mrs. Stevens
continues in the thorough enjoyment
of a serene old age, tenderly cared for
by a daughter, Miss Amanda Stevens.
Mrs. Stevens bears a strong likeness to
the distinguished brother, Gen. But
Ter. in whose career she takes the
greatest pride.
Mrs. Stevens was born in Deerfeld.
Jan. 9, 1903, the youngest of the three
daughters of Capt. John Butler by his
first marriage to Sarah Batchelder of
Deerfeld. She had barely entered up
on her second year when her mother
died, and her father soon after, married
Charlotte Ellison, the late Governor
Butler being the youngest of the three
children of this maria ge.-Foster's

A FAIR EXCHANGE.

Large sums of money are no
doubt realized from simple spec
ulation, but the great fortunes
are derived from legitimate and
honest business-where the goods
furnished are worth the price
they bring. Certain famous bust
ness men have accumulated their
millions wholly in this way.
Prompt and faithful in every
contract or engagement they en-
joy the confidence of the public
and command class of trade
that is refused to unstable or
tricky competitors. In the long
run it does not pay to cheat or
deceive others. A humbug may
be advertised with a noise like
the blowing of a thousand trum-
pets, but it is soon detected and
exposed. The manufacturers Of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have always acted on very differ
ent principles. Before offering
it to the public they first made
sure of its merits. Then, and
then only, did its name appear
in print. People were assured Of
what it would do, and found the
statement truthful. To-day they
believe in it as we all believe in
the word of tried and trusted
friend. It is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritive
and curative properties of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us
from fresh cod 1ivers, combined

Wasting Complaints. DR.. Louis
W. Bishop says: 81 take pleasure
in saying | have found it a most
efficient preparation, embodying
all of the medicinal properties
of a pure cod liver oil in a most
palatable form" It is scientific
remedy and food with deli
cious taste and favour. One

NO WHITE MEN ALLOWED.

Indian Territory has several exclu-
sive negro towns. One is called Remit
vile, after one of the promoters, and
is located fifteen miles south of Musko-
see, on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
Railroad. The Creek nation has a
number Of other negro towns, among
them being one known as Wildcat. II
is a Government town-site. Every
thing in the place is the property OF
colored people. The people of no other
race are allowed to settle there. 1t is
said by those acquainted with the place
that if an occasional white person
chances to come in on business or
otherwise, the word is soon passed
around to him: white man, don't let
the sun go down on you here" A hint
is all that is necessary.
Another negro town is Wybark, locat-
ed on the Kansas River, at the point
where the Oklahoma branch of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas Railroad
leaves the main line north of Musko-
gee. This place is a shack-town and is
well known to commercial men making
the territory. BY many it is regarded
as upper tendon in colored society,
on account of the location of a negro
academy within a short distance

The General Slocum disaster has led
to Investigations of steamers generally
by the Federal authorities. In San
Francisco the charge was made that
many steamers going to sea were utter
ly unfit for service. The following vi
gorous reply by the Federal inspectors
is a satisfaction to the travelling pub
lie: 1T is charged that at the time of
the Klondike rush nearly all the float
ing collins of the world came to the
port of San Francisco and were allow

ers to ply their nefarious trade to Alas
ka' An honest man will not make an
accusation of that sort without backing
it with names. Let the newspaper
give us the names of any unsea-
worthy vessel that we passed during
the Klondlke or the Philippine rush.
Can its editor name any such boat
passed by us? If not he should with
draw his generalization. The facts di-
rectly contradict his assertion. We

condemned many vessels. The Profess
sor Morse, which has been passed by
the inspectors at New Orleans, was
brought round here for the Alaskan
trade, but we condemned her and her
bones are now lying over at Oakland.
Not single accident due to unsea-
worthiness occurred on any vessel pass
ed by us, either for the Philippines or
for the Alaskan trade. If unfit boats
were engaged in the Alaskan business
they did not go from this port. We
have no Jurisdiction at Seattle or out
side of San Francisco. We have stead
fastly condemned every boiler or hull
that was unsound, and we challenge
contradiction on this point, not in gilt
tering generalities, but with names of
the unfit vessels which it is claimed
were passed by US"

victory over the foe in the few misera-
BILE skirmishes in the first war. Kruger
should have known better because he
had opportunities to observe, but his
devoted followers for the most part
were in Ignorance of the power against
which they were pitted.
In the prime of life Kruger was a
veritable lion among men. Hardy, res
olute, fiercely religious las he saw re-
ligio n, and possessed of all the skill of
Woodcraft and craftsmanship which a
lifetime on the veldt could develop, he
was indeed a power to be reckoned
with. That he firmly believed himself
to be the chosen of the Almighty to lead
his people to freedom is not to be doubt
ed for a moment, and much of the
pathos of his end lies in the fact that
he died far away from the land which
he loved so well, and which he had seen
pass into the possession of the people
whom he hated with no ordinary hate.
Kruger was an anachronism and the
fate of him and of his people seems to
nave been one of those which a strange
providence has preserved for some. All
that the Beers wanted in the first place
was to be left alone. They wished to
live patriarchal sort of life, owning
their slaves and working as little as
they considered was consistent with the
teachings of Holy writ. The slave uues-
ton was a serious one with them, for it
was the British emancipation of the
colonial slaves in 1886 that drove the
Beers to the Great Trek which was re-
sponsible for the foundation of the
Transvaal. Then came the discovery of
gold on the Witwatersrand and surely
enough the doom of the Boer people as
Independent nations was sealed by that
discovery. The influx of a vast alien
population and the ill-advised restric-
tons on trade placed by the Kruger
government with the frank idea of re-
the liberties of the new com
ers as well as for the purpose of filling
an impoverished treasury-these were
the sure signs of the cataclysm which
was surely to occur. The events of the
war are fresh in public memory, but
purely from the standpoint of the pic
it seems almost a pity that the
man who lies dead in etile today did
not elect to stay with his people to the
bitter end. As it is, his death marks
no epoch, it is simply the closing of q
book that has already been read.

that the supposed extinct crater of that
peak was in violent eruption on the
night of June IL. For nearly twelve
hours the mountain belched forth huge

Let us assume that an employer and

who avails of the credit, skill and or

Suppose we were to reverse the con-

of the clerk demanding two weeks pay
