STATE HOUSE REPAIRS.

hescontroversy over the repairs to
fila state House has been brought to
pubHc attention again by the report of
the Legislative committee, appointed
to supervise the work, which was
i made public Monday. The report,
which is quite lengthy, sustains, in the
main, the contentionof Architect c. c.
Wilson that the work heretofore done
is defective and that the dome in its
present condition is unsafe. There
port is based upon the testimony Of
Messrs. William Martin Aiken, of New
York, formerly Supervising Architect
of the treasury at Washington, W. B.
~. Howe, civil engineer and architect,
<eof Spartanburg and Prof. F H. Col
cock, professor OF mathematics and
scirn engineering in the South Caro-
zlna College
The most important sections Of the
report are as follows:
sdessrs- ccicock and Howe made
@an extended report. in which they
showed that til. girders carrying the
dome were considerably overloaded,
and that it would not be safe to put
further weight upon them.
1eadr. Aiken reported that his exam
Ination proved very conclusively that
certain members Of the iron trusses
carrying the dome. are unquestionably
yoyerloaded. and are strained beyond
She safe weight they are built to car
u,y." and, referring to Mr.. Berle's re-
uot. he says: Mr.. Berle surely knew
hz1 methods involving such slender
margins of safety were neither employ
ed nor were they even considered in
the Office OF the supervising architect
of the treasury department at Wash
fngton-''
;ss-.Thus it will be seen that these dis
xSnynished and eminent experts con-
SSemn the work in the respect indicat-
ed. and sustain Mr.. Wilson's report to
fhe commission that the girders bear
ing the dome are overloaded, and that
ii would not be safe to put further
strain upon them, or to leave the
structure with it's present load, with
out material reinforcement.
Acting in the light of these reports
the commission concluded to 90 no
other work than that Of installing the
heating and ventilating plant, and 70
report the whole matter back to the
general assembly for its consideration
and instructions to the commission.
TT must be very evident to every
member of the general assembly who
reads and carefully considers the sew

Those who contend that the
white maD and negro were created
equal aud should be accorded
equal rights must admit that from
a physical standpoint they are
antipodal. What would kill a
white man oftentimes contributes
to the physical woll-being Of the
colored man. A few days ago a
hard-working colored man, who
is far above the average in intel
ligence and character, told US of
the delight that he took in his
work whun the sun was hot. Dur
ing some of the hottest days we
have had this year he would throw
aside his hat and plow and sing
as happily as did the birds in the
nearby trees. Think of man
working for hours with barred head
out in the broiling sun that was
almost hot enough to cook an
egg. Under such conditions a
white man would have fallen stone
dead before he had plowed half
dozen rounds.
