Claims Against Alliance.

A meeting of the directors of the
Farmers Alliance Exchange was
held to-day to discuss the claims of
the stockholders of the exchange and
the recent litigation over the money
now in bank. There were present
a. Q. Lyles, of Union, president; j.
L. keitt, Newberry, secretary j. b.
Douthit, Anderson, treasurer S. II.
MeKeown, of Chester, and J. F..
Ashe, of York. Nothing was done
that was given out for publication,
but it is thought that the recent
order of Judge Gary in reference to
the disposal of the money on hand
was discussed. The recent statement
that the Master of this county is
receiving a large number of claims
against the exchange is an error, and
there Will be no claim filed until the
proper advertisement is made and
the regular legal steps gone through

The case of Col. Pitcher, who is
now threatened with courtmartial for
trifing with the affections of several
young ladies in Washington, is at
tracting lots of attention. The
Washington correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer says:
The writer today called on Miss
Carolina Harold, the young North
Carolina woman who was fitted by
Lieutenant- Colonel Pitcher. Owing
to the fact that Col. Pitcher has
Tilted several young women, there is
serious talk of courtmartial, and it
was with reference to this possibility
that Miss Harold was seen. The
young lady expressed herself as
being very loath to carry the investi-
CATION to such lengths, but is willing
to abide by the Judgment of her
good friends in the department,
and Representative Small. Indeed,
said Miss Harold, these loyal friends
are acting entirely upon their own
motion at the present time, and
she said the reporter was giving her
news in saying that Col. Mills had
filed formal charges against Col.
Pitcher, which would probably lead
to courtmartial. Accompanying
the writer was the newspaper man
who, three months ago, showed Miss
Harold the telegram which brought
her first intimation of Col. Pitchers
untalthfulness. "Miss Harold has
yisibly aged since them" were the
first words uttered by this news.
paper man on leaving her presence.
Judge Advocate General Davis now
has charge of the investigation, and
when the papers were transferred to
him Secretary Taft remarked that
Coz: Pitcher had apparently formed
the habit of deceiving young women.

Arrested IN GroenvtIle.

Greenville, May 12.-When the
train from Columbia came into the
station this afternoon Chief of Police
Becknell was there to meet it, and
just as one of the passengers, hand
some young woman dressed in white,
with hat and shoes to match, stepped
to the platform he walked up to her
and said in an undertone, "Madam,
you are wanted; come with me-"
She did not appear to be at all
frightened and there was not the
least suspicion of tremor in her
voice when she answered, GAIL right,
but let me hire hack have the
money" The patrol wagon was on
hand, however, and she was placed
aboard and taken to the station house.
Here search revealed handsome
gold watch set with diamonds, Just
what the officers were looking for.
A letter was received by the depart
ment this morning, from the authori-
ties in Augusta, saying that a wo-
man, calling herself Ella Davis, had
robbed man, who was intoxicated,
of a valuable watch and $50 in cash,
and that she had left the city early
Sunday morning for either Green
wood or this place. A description
was given, and when the train came
in this evening the officers where
there to meet it. The Augusta au-
thorities have been notified and an
officer is expected to arrive here to-
morrow and take the woman back to
Georgia. She has expressed will
ingness to go without requisition
papers, and admits having committed
the theft. She says the man came
to the house where she was boarding,
in an intoxicated condition, and that
she with another woman planned the
robbery. The accomplice took the
chain and part of the money and
she retained the watch and the re-
naming cash.
The woman is we'll known to the
police here. Until several months
ago she lived here under the name
of Carrie Henderson. She once
created a sensation in the Mayors
Court by attempting to scratch out
the eyes of man who was testifying
against her on charge of disorderly
conduct. She was sentenced to i'm
prisonment in the county Jail, but
succeeded in making her escape by
scaling the wall, and had not been
heard of since until she was arrested
this afternoon.

And while we are honoring heroes
let us not forget 15-year-old Wade
Plummer, of Lamar, Darlington
county, who rescued John Gibson
from the waters of Lynches' river.
The dispatch says that when young
Gibson sank the men on the river
bank did not undertake the risk of
attempting his rescue. But the boy
did. The drowning man grappled
with him and carried him beneath
the water. After being twice borne
down Wade needed the voice of his
father and broke away from Gibson's
grip. But only for moment, and
to recover breath and give him
strength, did the brave boy cease his
efforts. Then he dived 12 or Is
feet, found the body of Gibson on
the bottom of the river, brought it
to the surface and to the shore. Life
seemed extinct, but in an hour Glib
son was resuscitated and there was
great qualification. And there was
double cause for rejoicing not only
had a tragedy been averted, but it
had been developed that in that COM
munity there was such youth as
Wade Plummer.-The State.

A Timely Word OF Warning.

Former Senator Tom Carter,
chairman of the National Commits
sion of the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position, has caused howl to 90 up
in st. Louis by entering his strong
protest against the tendency toward
extortion on the part of some of the
hotel-keepers of the exposition city.
He is quoted as specifically charging
that SO day had been exacted by
some landlords for a single room,
without meals, despite the fact that
there has, as yet, been no strain upon
the city's hotel resources.
Such talk from Senator Carter is
calculated to make him exceedingly
unpopular in ST. Louis hotel circles,
but if his expose of conditions serve
as warning to them and results in
bringing prices down to a sensible
basis, he will have done not only the
exposition, but. the hotel keepers
themselves the greatest possible SER
vice.
If the St. Louis hotel-keepers,
either as individuals or in any COM
bination, are going to charge exor-
bitant prices to exposition visitors,
the outside attendance will be very
materially affected. We do not
know how it may be in the territory
within easier reach of St. Louis, but
it is a fact that in other parts of the
country there exists no very large
amount of enthusiasm over this St.
Louis exposition and the managers
of the affair will find themselves
sorely disappointed in their attend
ance anticipations if the idea becomes
prevalent that visitors to ST. Louis
run the risk of being robbed by the
hotel keepers or anybody else.
The people of the country at large
have right to expect from Presi-
dent Francis and his associates tangi.
BILE guarantees of fair treatment if
they go to ST. Louis. The govern
ment of the United States has been
more liberal in its aid to this exposi-
tion than it ever has been to any
similar enterprise. The govern.
ment's appropriations have been made
largely on the theory that such an
exposition, properly conducted,
would be powerful influence for
the education of the masses. But
the masses are not going to 90 to St.
Louis if they are to be charged S10
head for the privilege of sleeping
one night in some hotel keepers bed,
And the masses have rights which
should be needed.
AS we see it, Senator Carter has
done nothing more than his plain
duty in exposing this kind of extor-
tion. The warning ought to be
sufficient to arouse the exposition
officials to the danger which threatens
their enterprise, If it does this, it
will, as we have said, prove real
service, not only to the people who
contemplate visiting ST. Louis, but
to the exposition itself.-Atlanta
