THE DISASTER IN NORWAY.
Eleven Thousand People In Aesund Rem
dered Homeless BY the Flames
Three Persons Killed.

Aalesund, Norway, Jan. 24.-The
fire which swept over this town yes
terday morning destroyed every
building in it with the exception OF
the hospital. The 1900 1nhaol
tants of Aalesund were compelled
to camp in the open as only a te"
damaged and uninhabitible houses
were left standing. The children
Of the town had to be housed tenn
porarily in the church at Borgund
The panic among the people was so
great after the outbreak of the Hames
that all attempts at leadership or
discipline became out of the ques-
ton. No excesses, however, were
committed. The people brs1 en-
deavored to save some of their pro-
perty, but they soon found that
they had quite enough to do to save
their own lives. The destruction
of the town was complete within a
couple. Of hours within the time the
fire started.
It is believed now that only three
persons lost their lives.

Disastrous Fire-Not Known Whether
Lives were Lost.

Sour Lake, Texas. Jan. 24.-A
destructive fire swept Sour Lake to-
day and destroyed the main busi-
ness portion of the town, causing
an estimated loss of 100000.
The fire began in the second story
of the First National bank building.
Whether there wasiany loss Of life
will probably never be known.
Hundreds of women and men, half
Of whose names were practically
unknown, roomed in the second
story Of the buildings that were
destroyed and several persons could
have been burned to death and
never missed.

Everyt hing Else In the Shade.

Mr.. John R. Burke, of the Au-
gusta Chronicle, writing from Co
lumbia under date of January Fl,
says:
The suspense is over and the tat
positions in the management of the
South Carolina liquor dispensary
have been won. There were other
elections besides those for dispen-
pensary Offices, but the others were
scarcely heard of about the hotels
or State house lobbies. Every
thing was completely overshadowed
by the contest for dlspensary
places"

Machine for Picking Cotton.
Birmingham Ledger.

Another cotton picking machine
has been perfected, and it has done
fairly cook work in the field. No.
body expects ever to seea machine
that can pick cotton like a negro,
but one can be made that can pick
the bulk of the crop and leave only
part for hand picking. That will
be great help. 1.-THE machine only
nicks two. thirds of the cotton it will
makeit possible to get the other third
ont without so much cost for labor.
The new machine is said to work
well in Louisiana fields.

SENATOR TILMAN WILL BE PUT BACK
ON THE WINTHROP BOARD.
House Yesterday Killed The Haskell Bill
TO Abolish Special Courts---Ihe Work
Of Friday and Saturday.
Especial to Herald and News.)
Columbia, January 25.-The
house today killed Mr.. Haskeil's
bill to abolish special courts.


Columbia, January Ex-senator
B. R. Tillman having been legls'
lated off the board of trustees OF
Winthrop by mistake, DR.. T. A.
Crawford, of Rock Hill, who was
elected to succeed him, has ten
dered his resignation on this &C
count, and the general assembly
must elect another member and Of
course will put Mr.. Tillman back
on the beard. DR.. Crawford de-
clined in the following message:
s'The distinguished services of SEN
ator Till1nan to Winthrop College
render his continuance on the
board public necessity. I can not
accept the election in his stead and
hereby tender my resignation.'
The mistake was due to con-
fusion as to the time of expiration
of the terms of the various men,
bers. It was not definitely known
what places on the board were be-
ing filled, and thus it was that Sen
ator Tillman was dropped from the
board and Mr.. Crawford chosen to
succeed him.
The report gained circulation in
some way that in like manner Mr..
L. A Sease, of Newberry county,
has been dropped from the Clem-
son board. This is clearly mis-
take, as Mr.. Sease was elected in
1902 for for term of four years.
AFTER THE ELECTIONS.
The house got down to the rou-
tine work of law-making immedi-
ately after the elections and did a
hard days work on Friday.
The matter of labor contracts
came up for long discussion. The
action taken is given in the edi-
torial correspondence in this issue.
MIR. Tribble's bill was passed ex-
empting all Confederate soldiers
and sailors who now receive PEN
sion from the State or aid from the
county, from the charge of any H.
cense for the carrying on any busl-
ness or profession within this State,
or any village, city or town there
in.
There was also long discussion
on Mr.. Webb's bill to authorize
and require the directors of the
State penitentary to erect and
equip fertilizer plants and ware
houses for the manufacture and
sale of commercial fertilizers. The
bill was finally killed. Subsequent
ly, however. both houses passed
resolution looking to an inquiry BY
the penitentiary authorities into
the advisability of the State going
into the fertilizer business. The
investigation is to be conducted
without expense to the State.
On Saturday the house took up
and disposed of number of uncon-
tested matters and in this way local
legislation occupied most of Satur-
days session.
CLEMSON SCHOLARSHIPS.
A long discussion was provoked
on a proposition made by Mr.. D. O..
Herbert. of Oransebure. to estab-
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1904-01-26

lish 124 beneficiary scholarships tor
Clemson college, with an award Of
500 to each of the scholarships,
this money to be paid out of the
resources OF Clemson college. The
idea is to give preference to those
who take the agricultural cours and
to award them to the most worthy
and needy candidates who have
made at least 90 per cent. on the
examinations.
1t was urged by those who
favored the scholarships that far
mers are now paying most of the
money which goes to the support
Of Clemson college while the far
n:ers' sons are not receiving the
greater benefits. Mr.. Arthur Kib-
ler, of Newberry, made a strong
speech in favor of the bill. No ac-
ton was taken on Saturday..
IN THE SENATE.
The senate on Friday devoted
most Of its time to the discussion
of the shad bill, which has come up
each year for many years past.
Senator Walker, of Georgetown,
argued against the passage of the
bill, which would prevent the ship
ment of shad from the State. Next
day Senator Ragsdale, of Florence,
favored the bill, and it was finally
passed.

PIERATT CASE.
Attorney Riddle Returns from St,
Louis with Writ Of Habeas
Corpus Directed to c. Madsen
WRIT RE1URNADLE JAN. 9.
Last Developments in Case At
tracing Much Attention.

Attorney F. +. Riddle returned
at noon today from St. Louis
where he went Saturday to apply
for writ Of habeas corpus in the
Pieratt case. He applied to Judge
Walter H. Sanborn Of the circuit
court Of appeals and secured the
writ which is returnable Jan. 9.
It is addressed to c. Madsen, de-
putty U. S. marshall and commands
him to make return showing
upon what grounds W. R. Pierstt
is deprived Of his liberty.
Recent developments in this
case are interesting. 1t will be
remembered that the firm Of
Pieratt Bros. were adjudged
bankrupts during the last term Of
court. w. II. Thompson was ap-
pointed receiver BY the referee in
bankruptcy, r. f. Scoffern. III
was claimed that the testimony
developed in the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings showed that the firm was
in possession Of 81 500 in cash. The
referee issued an order that the
firm turn over this amount forth
Nitn and Immediately 10 the re-
ceiver. This order was not COM
piled with and the receiver re-
ported the fact TO the court.
The court then issued a bench
warrant for the Pieratt brothers to
appear and show cause why they
should not be punished for con-
tempt Of court in disobeying the
referee. The defendants we're
examined before the court and
there being no testimony to show
that w. I. Pieratt knew anything
about the money, he was discharged.
The court, not being satisfied with
the explanation Of w. r. Pieratt
committed him to Jail Dec 20.
Attorney Riddle made a motion to
dismiss the contempt proceedings
and discharge the prisoner. This
motion was cver-ruled.
Mr.. Riddle then went to the cir
cult court Of appeals at St. Lonis
and applied for writ Of habeas
corpus on the grounds that the
order commanding Mr. Pieratt TO
produce the $500 was issued with
out giving notice to thedefendants
that it would be issued. The writ
was issued upon the prima facie
presentation Of evidedoe and Mr..
Riddle has little doubt but that
an ordS. for the release Of the
prisoner will be issued as soon as
the return is made.
