after Counterfeiters.

There is counterfeit money floating
around and number of warning cir
culars have been issued regarding it.
The United States secreat service
men are right behind the counterfeit
ers and a special to the Charlotte
Observer from Greensboro says: The
United States governments secret
service detective are hot on the trail
of the gang who have been recently
flooding the state with counterfeit
ten-dollar bills. On the one-dollar
bills, which very much resemble the
new $40 series, the countertelters
have deftly put the necessary touches
to make it readily pass for the new $40
issue. There is an eagle on the one
dollar bill which the ten-dollar bill
does not possess, and the spuriousness
of the raised bill can be easily detect
ed. Several of these bills have been
found here, but it is in the eastern
part OF the state, where it isSaid they
are most generally in circulation. AT
ter conference with Greensboro po-
lice authorities, the secret service men
took the train for Raleigh, having
gained there, it is said, an important
link in the chain of evidence which
was lost in Fayetteville, where ne
gro had been arrested, having in his
possession one of the raised bills, but
who refused to talk. -

Safe Crackers Caught.

Three safe crackers who robbed the
bank at Dillon and are also thought
to have cracked a slfe at Latta have
been caught at Smlth6eld, n. c. A
special from that place to the Char
lotte Observer says: Three men are
confined in Jail here under the strong
suspicion Of being members Of motor
ious gang Of safe crackers turning this
and other states. Their names are
Harding, Waring and Cunningham.
They made their appearance here last
Thursday evening, pretending to be
sign painters, ard awakened enough
suspicion to warrant the authorities
in causing their arrest. a New YORK
detective who has been Investigating
the bank robbery at Latta, S. C., on
the night of February 25, is at pre-
sent studying the case. Officers from
Dillon, S. c., have been here and iden-
titled them as the men seen in that
neighborhood about the time of the
bank robbery there. There are also
supposed to be the robbers who made
a visit to Henley some time ago.
They are wanted at ko!iock for post
office breaking on the night Of Feb
ruary 9th. Extradition papers have
already been made out, and they will
be taken to Marion. S. c., Thursday.

Who Are They?

Senator Burton, Of Kansas, who
was convicted of accepting compensa-
tion to further the interests OF a
fraudulent concern before the post
office department. in his admissions
made statements which must have
brought CONSERVATION among the
other senatorial grafters, but to their
intense relief he did not mention any
names. He said many of his SEN
atorial brethren made large sums Of
money ''practicing before the depart
ments," some of them making as
much as $40, 900 a year. We agree
with the Columbia Record that it is a
pity that the senator did not go more
into detail and tell the country who
these men are. What the people want
is to get those Shig up" in this graft
ing business at the national capital.
A small beginning has been made,
and for the good Of the country there
should be no stopping until all the
rascals are cleaned out.

Rural Delivery Carriers.

There has been a large number OF
requests for information regarding
that provision in the postohdce appro-
priation bill affecting rural free deliv-
cry carriers. The exact wording of
this provision follows: "On and after
July l, 1904, letter carriers Of the
rural free delivery service shall
receive salary not exceeding S72O
per arnun, and no other OF fuller
allowance Of salary shall be made to
said carriers; and on and after said
date said carriers shall not solicit
business or receive orders of any kind
for any person, firm, or corporation,
and shall not, during their hours Of
employment, carry any merchandise
for hire: Provided, That said car
riers may carry merchandise for hire
for and upon the request Of patrons
residing upon their respective routes,
whenever the same shall not interfere
with the proper discharge Of their
official duties, and under such regula-
tions as the postmaster general may
prescribe" There was much discus
ion before this provision was finally
agreed upon, but it is understood
that the senate will approve, and 1t is
likely to become law in it's present
form. The house conferees will insist
upon this being done, if necessary.

Shot. Them By Accident.

A dispatch from Greenville to The
State says E. NJ. Gillespie, who lives
about two miles from the city on the
Easley road, while handling his gun
on Monday night accidentally dis
charged the piece, the load entering
the feet of his infant child, not more
than years of age. A small portion
of the shot entered the hip Of his wife,
who was holding the child IL her
arms, but her wound is not serious.
Dr.. W. C. Black was called to attend
the child, who was so weak from the
loss of blood and the shock that he
did not amputate the foot, as he fear
ed it would not live through the oper-
alton. The parents are said to be
quite reticent over the matter.

Killed in a Runaway.

The Augusta Chronicle says as a
result Of runaway accident, Captain

most prominent citizens and senior
member of the wholesale dry goods

SETTLERS COMING.
Three Items Of Considerable Interest
in Regard to immigration.

The Columbia Record says Mr.. Jos.
W. Stewart, passenger agent OF the
Seaboard, Thursday received a letter
from DR.. Chas. Gurneer, of Evansville,
Ind, who is now in Charleston, in re-
gard to establishing German-Ameri-
can colony somewhere in this state.
Dr.. Gurneer has interested himself in
this idea considerably and desires to
purchase anywhere from 1000 to
10000 acres Of swamp land which can
be obtained cheap and then after
draining it render it suitable for colo
n;zation by large colony Of German
citizens who are now in the state Of
Indiana. They are not satisfied with
the climate and wish to come South.
DR.. Gurneer is now in Charleston and
expects to go to Summerville where
be will inspect the French Canadian
colony and afterwards will come to
Columbia for conference with the
Seaboard officials. 1t is impossible
that the colony may be located very
near this city and if not it may be up
near Cheraw. The Seaboard people
will do all they can to have it located
near Columbia.
The Office Of commissioner of imnoi-
grafton is in receipt Of large number
Of inquiries in regard to statistical
information about the state. From
the facts now on hand in this Office
the inquiries can be answered at once
and IN this way the state is being
well advertised. A letter was receiv-
ed from a capitalist in Texas Tues
day desiring information as to the law
exempting enterprises from taxation,
it being intimated in the letter that
he was interested in this state and
might be induced to invest. The capi-
talistiwas given the law on the matter,
which, according to the recent discus
sion Of the supreme court in the Spar
tanburg mill case, provides what a
majority Of the citizens in the district
shall decide whether or not the enter
prise shall be exempt from the tax.
The term fixed by law is five years.
Efforts have been made recently by
the local officers of the Seaboard to
interest a northern capitalist in
stock farm about five miles below Co.
lumbia. The gentleman who had
been in the city several days on pleas
ure became interested In the town
and after finding out the cheapnesS Of
the land in the vicinity closed deal
for about 200 acres Of land just below
the city. The gentleman's name is
n. W. Smith and he is expected to
return in a few days and complete all
arrangements for a stock farm.

Strikes Cost Money.

The New York state board Of medi-
alton has recently published an annual
report. Up to September, 1903, there
were more strikes, lockoutS and laoo-
troubles in general in New York than
in any previous year, excepting per-
haps the year 1886. During the past
wear there were 1872 labor troubles,
involving ll7,00O employees. and IN
consequence $500, 200 working days
were lost. Owing TO the New YORK
building trades strikes 37,o3I .aborers
were idle, the total loss In wages
amounting to nearly seven million
dollars. This is a terrible showing
as to results Of such labor movements,
and is very potent argument in "a
vor Of arbitration in such matters.

HAD a STILL IN TIE CELLAR.
Why Boards Distillery in Greenville
Was Seized by the Officers.

One Of the most interesting cases
which the collector Of revenue will
| take to the session of court which
meets in Greenyille in about two
weeks is the prosecution of a distille1
named Beard. This distiller was
operating a plant near the city of
Greenville and had permit from the
government as we'll as from the State
1t was suspected that there was
something wrong and the place was
watched. Finally it was discovered
that in his warehouse there was a
trap door giving access to a big still
in a concealed basement. This illicit
still was operated to avoid the pay
ment of license on the stuff manufac-
tured From the legalized still some
distance away there were pipes bring
ing in the steam necessary for working
the mash and operating the retort.
There was no escape of steam to indi-
cate where the false basement was,
and the only means of access was the
trap door which was always covered
with pile Of old sacks and could not
be seen with the naked eye. The
ring by which the door was raised was
the only thing which discoled its loca-
tion and that would not have been
found had not the officers been look
ing for it. The refuse from the hid
den still was carried by means of un-
derground pipes to the spot where the
refuse from the legaliZed still was
dumped. The whole plant was seized
by the revenue officers.
This distillery had formerly been
operated in the name of the Babb
brothers, who were supposed to have
an interest in it even when it was
running in Boards name. Both John
and Tully Babb have been defendants
frequently in the federal and State
courts, answering to the charge Of
violating the liquor laws. 1t used to
be a regular thing for the dispensary
constables to run in Tully Babb every
week or so, and at one time there was
a stack ofindictments piled up against
him 10 the Greenville court. He and
his brother look like the typical coun-
try yout''s of the poorer class; they
are Of rather innocent countenance
but old in the ways of the transgres-
sor. They seem to have prospered, as
some years ago they erected credit
able brick building on Main street in
Greenville, with stores and offices to

Mr.. r. B. Cultra, Of Illinois, is
visiting his son in Ho:ry county. This
young man has established fruit
nurseries in that county and has been
most successful. According to a dis
patch in the News and Courier: Mr..
r. B. Cultura says that conditions are
ripe in Illinois fer emigration. TIE
olGer men wish their sons to get land
and 60 out on their own account.
Land sells there for Sl25 and $500 an
acre, ard cannot be bought at that
price. Consequently they must seek
other states, and a number have gone

will be able to induce some OF these
desirable immigrants to come TO Unls

TIE OLDEST CHURCH.
The Goose Creek Edifice to Celebrate
Two Hundredth Year.

The announcement of the celebra-
tion Of the two hundredth anniver-
sary Of the establishment Of St. James
church at Goose Creek will be received
with interest in Columbia. There is a
picture of this edifce in the secretary
Of states office which always attracts
considerable attention.
St. James is the Oldest of the colon
ial churches now in state of perfect
preservation and unaltered in any de-
tail from its earliestappearance. Its
venerable walls stand as monument
of a day that is past, beloved and
revered by churchmen Of the present

glish civilization in this country. The
celebration Of the two hunredth an
niveIsary of it's establishment will be
a notable occasion and it is expected
that a large number Of people will
gather within it's ancient walls.
The celebration will occur on April
l7th and an appropriate program is

ROASTS NEW ENGLAND.
Speech Was in Reply to Gillett's
Strickness on the South.
r Rooa0t1C in tho uopco Nv D,r

Recently in the House Mr.. Bartlett,
OF Georgia, briefly replied tc the state
ments Of Mr.. Gillett, Of Massachu.
Setts, on the negro question. he said
Mr.. Gillett had lectured the south for
certain alleged outrages and violations
Of the law. He declared that Massa-
chusetts was not free from the charge
Of the disregard of the law, even
though that state may claim to be
more refined than others. He cited
an instance where a mob in Marion,
Mass, in 1902, had tarred and feather
ed a man and woman, and be said,
the perpetrators Of the outrage had
been acquitted and marched through
the streets as heroes. He read from
statistics Of Massachusetts, showing
the number Of 'disgraceful" marriages
Of whites with negroes in the city Of
Boston. If these facts are true, Mr..
Bartlett said, the teachings Of the
gentleman from Massachusetts, and
those who believe as he does, are
coming like chickens, home to roost."
He did not believe, he declared, that
the people Of Massachusetts, enter
tanned nor re-echoed the sentiment of
Mr.. Gillett. While the people Of
Massachusetts may have peculiar no.
tions as to some things and may be
stern in their convictions, they at least
have awakened to believe that the
white people Of the south are entitled
to work out this problem in their OVID
way, as God shall will it," He added
those people would work it out," with
Iiie help Of our brthren Of the north,
if we can have it, but if not we will
work it out without their help" To
such as Mr.. Gillett, continued Mr..
Burlett, we will say that your opin-
ion and criticism meet with the calm
indifference of our contempt"
Mr.. Gillett replying, said be believ-
ed that the Caucasian race, as a
whole, is vastly superior to the color
ed race, but he said he did rot believe
it followed that every white man is
to every colored man. He de-
clared that he denounced such incl
dents as had been cited in Massachu-
setts as he had those occurring in the
south. He asserted, however, that
the frequency Of such occurrences in
the south stimulate similar occurrences
all over the country.
The subject was further discussed
by Mr.. Crumpacker, Of Indiana, who
said that in the last twenty-five years
5000 citizens Of the United States
who were entitled to the protection
of the law, had been seized by laWless
mobs and put to death. BE believed
that throughout the length and
breadth of the United States the peo-
pie are a unit in desiring to have the
law enforced everywhere. Mob law he
declared, is not sectional.
~ confess" he said, that the re-
cord of the last twenty-five years will
show that my own state has had it's
full share Of these diSgraceful exhibi-
tions Of lack Of control on the part Of
the people," all Of which be said,
illustrated the weakness of human
nature, which was about the same
through the whole country.
