THE KAISER NAY COME
jamestown Exposition and King Ed
ward May Also Attend.

Norfolk, Va, June 1.-THE London
Daily Telegraph urges King Edward
to pay visit to America next year
The kings itinerary would include Il
visit to President Roosevelt at Wasn-
ington, and a sojurn in Norfolk, We,
TO witness the jamestown exposition,
which in 1907 is to commemorate the
settlement Of America by English
speaking people If King Edward de-
cides to throw precedent TO the winds
and again visit America-he was here
as prince Of Wales-he will also visit
New York and Canada.
1t is we'll known that the relation
between the English King and Queen
and the London Daily Telegraph are
most cordial. When he was prince of
Wales the present king was insru-
mental in having the proprietor OF that
paper knighted 1t is, therefore, rea-
sonable to assume that the warmth
and enthusiasm of The Daily Tele-
graph over the question of the kings
visit to America meets With the ap-
proval and sympathy Of the monarch.
1t may be, indeed, that the opinions
expressed were inspired by a nod Or
a word from the king and remains TO
be seen how the English people regard
the matter as a whole. At present 1t
looks as though the king may yet plant
a tree on the grounds of the James
town exposition, sit under the spread
ing branches of the great POwhatan
oak, which was a mature tree when
King James granted the Virginia char
ter, and drink from the old Indian
spring from which Pocahontas quench-
ed her thirst.
That the kaiser is more than likely
to visit America and the exposition
we may infer from a presumably in
spired article by Herr Albrecht Wirth,
of Munich, one of the most distin-
guished professors at the Bavarlan
university, who is a noted writer on
political affairs and in close touch
with the imperial foreign Office. Herr
Wirth thinks it more than possible
that Emperor William and President
Roosevelt may exchange visits. To
Mr. Harry ST. George Tucker, president
of the Jamestown exposition the kai-
ser hinted that the German squadron
which will visit the exposition next
year. will be in charge of a member OF
the royal family, and as he is full of
surprises what is more than likely he
may command the royal squadron III
person.
Both the king and the emperor are
sure of a royal welcome from the peo-
pie of the first of the American states.

LAKE COMPASSES AWAY
Iron Deposits Affect Needles and Di-
vert Vessels Courses.

The navy department has sent Com
mander Reginald F. Nicholson, assist
ant chief Of the equipment bureau, to
Cleveland to take steps to help the
captains of lake vessels to rectify their
troubles with refractory compasses For
many years past these shippers have
been bothered by the erratic behavior
of their compasses in different locali-
ties on the lakes. At first it was
thought that the cargoes of iron or
other ores they were carrying in their
vessels were responsible for this deyia-
ton in the needles: but nowadays it is
recognized that the real source of the
trouble dies in the nature of the bottom
of the lakes and not in the cargoes
Great beds Of iron underlie the lakes
in various places as these affect the
compasses.
1t is to correct this evil that Com
mander Nicholson is going to Cleve-
land with instruments that will enable
him to set up, at certain CONSPICUOUS
places, marks fixed at the true north
SO that captains on passing ships may
not any errors in their compasses and
make the necessary adjustments. At
present it is his intention to set up
these marks in the st. Clair river
and in the straights of Mackinaw,
which will cover the greater part of
the lakes trafic.-New York Press

THE STATEHOOD BILL.

Speaker Cannon and his followers
have been whipped out at last on the
statehood bill. The democrats ani
their republican allies made a hard
fight to prevent Arizona being forced
into the union with New Mexico as
one state, and they have won a COM
plete victory Their contention was
that the consent Of the people shou'd
be a prerequisite tO~the formation Of
such a state, and after long and de-
termined fight against the influence Of
the president and the speaker they
have succeeded in having that pro-
vision incorporated in the bill. The
other side found they had to yield or
there would be no statehood bill at
all. They had to give up their pur-
pose of forcing Arizona to join New
Mexico, or have the admission of Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory as a
state defeated. There was no objec-
ton from any quarter to the provision
admitting these two territories as a
state under the name Of Oklahoma 1t
is hardly possible that the president
will veto the bill, though it is not
what he had his heart set on, for the
republican party is pledged to the ~ad-
mission of these territories.

ROYALTY AT JAMESTOWN EXPO
SITION

If there be any truth in the Norfolk
dispatch to be found elsewhere in this
paper, that King Edward and Kaiser
William may attend the jamestown
exposition what a boom it will be for
that celebration. You may count on
one thing: The kaiser is not going 10
let his royal uncle get ahead of him in
the matter of making closer friendship
with the American people by this
means. If King Edward comes you
may count on Emperor William doing
the same. The king in making up his
mind on the proposition will be great
ly governed by the public sentiment Of
Great Britain as expressed through the
press of that country. Emperor Will
liam will come if he wants to, no mat
ter if every paper in the German en-
pire declares against it. 1t is to be
hoped that these two mOnarchs will
visit our country at that time. From
a financial standpoint it would insure
the success Of the exposition and it
would have the tendency to draw the
two European nations into closer
friendship with ours.

GERS We're badly injured by natives
near Tantab yesterday. During the
march of a detachment of British

ers surrounded the party, deprived the
officers of their guns and attacked
them with bludgeons, with the result
that Captain Bull was killed, another
had an arm broken and the others
were badly injured. The affair appears
ODE the outcome Of the recent pam

An Interview With The Manager sug
rests The Following Facts.

There are two companies operating
i'm this section Tne Blue RdSN IN
,Corporatioa and the Piedmont I'm
Mining Company. The Blue Ridge
Tin Company own and operate the
mill on the Parker property here WIZ
in the corporate limits Of our town.
When run day and night. 20 hours. The
capacity Of this mill is 500 tons OF
ore per day and night TIE mill Is
not being run TO full capacity, because
with the hands being worked they can
not obtain so much ore. Again tne
mine is not sufficiently opened up 10
admit of raising this quantity OF ore.
The mill is run five or six hours per
day 10 keep up with the amount OF ore
now raised. As fast as possible more
hands are being added and the amount
OF ore is thcs being increased.
J. ". Foster, of Virginia, president;
A. F. Brad is secretary and treasurer,
]. ". Foster. Jr., is general sup erin
tendent; o. D. Sunday mill supeTin-
tendent, of this company. The COM
panv is now working So or 40 hands
on both shifts, and adding more as fist
as there is room for them.
This same company is also working
the Old LadeuX property two miles
south of town. They own this as we'll
as the Parker property. The COM
pany expects at this lower mine 10
erect a 25-ton capacity mill as soon rs
they can command the material and
lumber Our informant says that al
both mines they are pleased with Tie
present outlook. The ore from their
two mines assays An average of 50 per
cent metallic tin AS to the quality
company is pleased in every respect.
The cheapest hands at this mine
receive 81 per day, while many re-
ceive S125 and $50 per day. This
takes very little figuring to show that
these mines are great source of finance
to cur to wn This portion Of the
money is nearly all spent n our Town
and the class that receive it should
rejoices that we have such an industry
within our borders.
Another thing we add here. The
gentlemen who are connected with
this mine are a good type Of high
class gentlemen Nothing else has yet
shown up among them. They put i'll
one half their time attending TO their
own business, and the other half let
ting other peoples alone.
The Piedmont Tin Mining Company
has started to work on it's deep shaft
where they are prepared to sink 2C0
feet This company has now 700 feet of
levels cut just water level, over half
Of which length is in payable tin ore.
The prospects now is that the cutting
of these bodies,w Observation-Disclosures
of these ore bodies, at the depth plan
ned, will demonstrate the existence
of one of the most valuable tin mines
that has been opened in any country

UNCLE SANS INCOME.

Uncle Sam has done a big business
with foreign countries this year. With
fifteen more days Of this fiscal year
to come, the receipts on tariff duties
have reached nearly a million dollars
more than for any past full year and
are expected to reach twenty-five mil
lion in excess by the time those fifteen
days are out. They are expected to
exceed last years receipts by forty
million dollars. The receipts to date
aggregate s2S5,351,3 1928 The previous
record breaking ear was 1903, when
the customs receipts amounted to
1884, ,497,5S1. The indications are that
the internal revenue receipts for this
fiscal year will reach two hundred and
fifty million dollars, or fifteen million
greater than last year. Uncle Sam can
afford to spend goodly sum On new
buildings, river and harbor improve
ments and other works for the benefit
OF the people.

1t would be better for the American
people if the government would pay
the cost of extra inspection of the
products of the packing houses. We're
this additional expense put on the
companies they would get it back from
the people by means of higher prices
for the meats. If the inspectors and
others connected with the enforce
ment Of the law are to be under gov
ernment control it is better for them
also to be in the pay of the govern
ment. Uncle Sam can afford to pay
this additional money for the sake of
securing wholesome food for his peo-
pie. The bill which the house COM
mittee has drawn with this feature in
it does not please the president. 1t is
not drastic enough. So there is to be
another contest between the president
and congress, it seems.

OF the people.

The people Oh this side of the world
are inclined to look upon the Chinese
as ignorant barbarians. There are
some things, though, that we could
learn from them to our advantage
One of them is how to manage our
banks so their patrons will not suffer
at the hands of unprincipled officials
They do not have any bank failures
in China A bank failed there about
nine hundred years ago. The emperor
made an investigation and found that
it was through the dishonesty of the
president and some Of the directors
Thereupon he issued decree that the
next time a bank failed the heads 9:
the presidents and directors were 10

revoked, but no occasion has ever

my name is Ernest Ford and I live
two miles from Mullins, S. c." Thus
spoke a five year old child at the police
station yesterday afternoon who had
got lost on the beach from his parents
and had come to the city on a suburb
an car. The little fellow was only five
years OF age and he Was as bright as a
dollar. He was asked by the police
what his father did and his reply was
that he owned two mules and planted
cotton. The child then began to tell
them about the number of cows, pigs
and chickens his father owned
In some manner the child became
separated on the beach from his par
ents and thought they got on a car.
he crawled on in the belief that he
was following them and he must have
been very much frightened when he
wandered into the car and saw there
neither his father or mother, only
strangers. He was brought to the city
and got off the car with the other
passengers at the Front street junction.
Several other small boys who happened
to be near the junction at the time saw
the little fellow was crying and went
to him. He told them that he was lost
from his parents and they carried him
to the city hall. The police at once
called up the beach and got in COM
munlcatiOn with his parents who came
to the city after him as soon as they
could get car A relative who was in
the party from Mullens got off the car
as it passed the city hall and took the
little fellow to the Front street juno
tion where he met his parents. He
was indeed happy child when he got
to them. At the police station he had
been very brave and had not whim-
pered but when he got to his mother he
nestled his head against her and had a
good cry.
The people came in on the excursion
from Mullins and were spending the
day on the beach. When the parents
missed the child they were badly
frightened and were sure he had got
drowned. They hurried from place to
place on the beach anXiously inquiring
of every one if they had seen the child
and each time they got the same an
sewr-no. 1t was fully an hour after
the child left the beach before the par
ents knew what had become of him.
