The expense incident to renting State

ernment requires military property to
be kept in proper condition. By build

stored where it will not mould. The
saving Of rent will pay for the build

Capt. J. G. Richards also favored
the bill The Federal government

Mr.. Bcamguard opposed the bill on
the ground that $4,000 would be in
adequate That amount would not
build an armory in keeping with the
dignity Of the State. 1t would require
$4,000 to purchase a lot. The State
is not able at this time to build an
crmory in keeping with the demands.

After taking the oath Of Office Gov.

bly, in an inaugural remarkable
for it's breyity, it's directness and
It's evident purpose to encourage the
upbuilding of the State. Gov. Hayward
said:
Gentlemen of the General Assembly
and My Fellow Citizens:
Two yeats ago had the honor OF
taking tho oath of office as governor
of South Carolina. Standing again to-
day in this distinguished presence, to
pledge myself anew to the service OF
our State, I am even more sOlemnly
impressed with the duties which must
and do devo1ye upon one whom the
people have selected a., their chief ex-
ecutive. This occasion, with the for
NAL renewal OF my oath, though it
brings before me afresh the realization
of grave responsibilities, fills my heart
with deepest gratitude because OF the
honors which have been bestowed upon
me by my fellow citizens.
The past and the future alike in
stinctively arise before me, the one
with it's worl, fnishea its history
written: the other with its unknown
tasks. with its welfare in our keeping.
In the retrospect | see much for which
am deeply grateful. much that can
ncyer forget Especially true IS this
when | remember the loyal support ac-
corded me by the people of >ur State in
my endeayor to merit their confidence
by advancing, as best could, the hlgh-
est interests Of our commonwealth. 10
feel that those TO whom one is alone
responsible should set upon him the
seal OF their approval by such a re-
election as was mine. is indeed a re-
ward than wnich there is none greater
TO strive for. If have rendered any
service to my State, if have served
my people in some measure as | hoped
TO serve them. il indeed l have kept
the faith, this has only been possible
because you, my countrymen. gave me
your encouragement and your help.
Unto you, then, the credit is due, and

Of gratitude.

George Thomas. a negro wanted in
Columbia for murder, was arrested in
Savannah few days ago. The Savan-
nah authorities, knowing that Thomas
was wanted" notified Chief DAILY, OF
Columbia, of the arrest. The chief,
having no funds provided for such an
expense turned the matter over to the
sheriff, who sent to Savannah for the
prisoner. About two years ago Thom-
as and a number of his cohorts were
indulging in carousal in disrepu-
table resort known as "Heifer's Pen, ;"
in Columbia. This place is in the
centre of the block bounded by Ger
vais, Gadsden, Senate and Lincoln
streets. During the carousal Thomp-
son killed another negro called the
\ Savannah Kid" He Immediately
fled and Policeman Scott pursued him
through dark alleys and over back
ferces for several miles, but he es-
capped and has not been heard of since
until his arrest in Sayennah.
Suit has been seldom brought
against the city Of Columbia, but the
case of Baynes VS.. the Cit yof Colum.
bia, which is now being tried at the
United States court, is one of great
interest. Mrs. Gertrude. Baynes, OF
Virginia, it is alleged. received serious
injuries On April s, 1908, and demands
s25,0O0 damages. 1t is alleged that
about dark on the day named Mrs.
Baynes was returning to ner boarding

Main street she stepped upon loose
brick in drain across the sidewalk.
She was thrown violently forward on

st. Petersburg, Special.-The news
of General Kuropatkin's successful re-
pulse of the Japanese advance comes
most opportunely The belief exists
here that Field Marshal Oyama sought
to take advantage Of any depression
prevailing in the Russian ranks as the
result of the news from st. Petersburg
to launch an attack against General
Kuropatkin's right, but. the Russian
commander-in-chief seems to haV~
nicely turned the tables, inflicting con-
siderable loss upon tae Japanese on
Thursday, and taking several positions
westward along tile plain Of the Hun
river.
The authorities are receiving the
news from the front with great satis-
faction, being convinced that it Will
serve to at least partially distract at
tention from the strike situation and
internal affairs generally.
At the same lime, the strike situa
ton generally is improving. In st.
Petersburg, there is no longer any
doubt that the strike is practically
broken. Fourteen establishments al

assured Cor next Monday. A remarka-H
