BURGLAR At THE OIL MILL.


Il WouIont WORK. s35s
For some time past the oil mill peopie
have noticed that some person was taun-ss
pering with the safe in the Office, evt-s
dently trying to open it by the combina-
ton. The matter was first noticed BY the
combination standing at q different num-
Der from where It had been locked the
night before. Nothing in the Office wssS
misplaced, and how the fellow gained an I
entrance was mystery. It was finally
concluded that he must have key which
fitted the Office door. From his evident
familiarity with the place, someone ofths5
workmen at the mill was suspected.
Last Sunday night MI, J. L. EddlemAn,
the superintendent, concluded to lay M
wais for the would-be-thief and capture
him. Thinking he would come In ct the
door, Mr.. Eddleman went inside the o&@'
flee and sat in chair commanding the
door. About ten o'clock the fellow az
rived, and at first tried the doors to see IS
they were locked. Finding that they
were, he went to one of the windowS,;
quickly unfastened the blinds and raised
the sash, placing piece Of board under
it. He then started in at the window
but two shots from Mr.. Eddleman's pistol
just then caused him to drop out on the
ground and rival the speed Of q race hor1e
in getting away.

THE "YALLER DOG" BILL.


It seems small thing: but yet it is the
first time that the house has been induced
to pass bill looking to the suppression
of the "yaller dog" Citizen Ashley is
not here, and Senator Dennis is not able
to be on guard, and it looks very much
as if tax of fifty cents head is to be
imposed on the dogs.
HOUSE WORK FOR THIS WEEK.
The house during the week will have
the Brice dispensary bill, the ten-circuit
bill, the Hardin fertilizer inspection tax
measure, the telephone bill, the bottle
cleaning bill and the immigration bureau
bill to consider. These are regarded
among the most important bills that re.
main unfinished, and which will have to
be acted upon during the week.
The Senate has already digested and
given careful consideration to the most
of these measures and they are perhaps
in about the best shape.
THE TEN-C1RCUlT BILL.
The Senate is now taking turn at the
ten-circuit bill. If it passes the Senate
and the lawyers in the House agree to
give their hearty support to the measure,
there will be ten judicial circuits in South
Carolina, but if they cannot agree to sup
port the measure or are luke-warm, the
proposition will be killed. 1t was only
because the lawyers in the house were
not a unit on the house bill that the
Senate did not have the opportunity of
acting on it.
THE STATE HOUSE SCANDAL.
The sensation of the week and, for that
matter, of the session has: been the filing
and subsequent developments of the re-
port of the State house committee. There
is distinction between the State house
commission and the State house COM
mittee. It is the commission that had
charge of the State house work and it is
the committee that reported on the mat.
ter few Gays ago. At least one thing
has been determined upon as result Of
that report Suits are to be brought
against Architect Milburn and Builders
McIlvain, Unkefer & Co., as a result OF
the work on the State house. The COM
mission, which says it was not given
hearing, will be granted an opportunity
of making its position clear and plain, but
the exact manner of this hearing has not
yet been determined upon. The proposed
suit in the courts ought to bring out
clearly and determine whether the State
has been fairly treated or not. The com.
mission itself has never been attacked
nor its honesty impunged.

amount.
This year Mr.. Moses, the chairman, had
the pleasure of seeing the appropriation
bill 20 to the Senate with only the salary
of stenographer for the Secretary OF
State cut out, and the suggested raise OF
the watchman's salaries denied. There
was liberality displayed all through the
appropriation bill, notably in the item OF
ten thousand dollars for heating plant
for the Citadel. Then the house and Sen
ate have both agreed to give $5,0OOa year
towards the encouragement of libraries in
the rural districts, and both houses have
voted to create scholarships at Clemson
at the cost of $12,400 out of Clemson's
funds. The house has voted to increase
the Winthrop scholarships to 500, practi-
cally doubling the present appropriation,
ont of the States fund, and the Senate is
expected to confirm this. The House has
created the position of insurance commits

Dubuque. Jan. 6.-The directors of
the Dubuque Three-Eye league team
are planning to make extensive inn
provements on the park early this
spring. About $500 will be expended
and the park will be made enc of the
best in the league. Work will be COM
menced early in March.
An effort will be made to cqualize
the salaries Of the players next sea-
son. Last year few of the players
received about twice as much salary
as the other members of the team,
and il is we'll known that two of the
high salaried men did not earn the
money paid them. Manager ''Hunlly''
Hines and Charles Beulow will receive
about 1925 a month. The lowest sal
aired man will be paid about So a
month.
Three or four new men will he sign
ed for next season. Chuck" Fleming.
who SSJayed with Dubuque about a
month during the fore part of last
season and jumped his contract to
play with Waterloo. will probably
wear Dubuque uniform next year.
He was Dubuque's best fielder, but
was not Il heavy hitter. Bill Everitt
will play right field and new man
will he signed for center. There will
probably be a couple of changes i'm
the infield. The team will no doubt
be much stronger than last year. No
date has yet been decided upon for
holding the fair TO raise funds to help
maintain the club.
