KING AND EMPEROR.
Edward VII and Kairser Wilhelm
May Meet at The jamestown Ex-
<f position

Norfolk, Va, june, ,28. 8.-The present
is ali, ge in which the. unexpected hap
pens and men care nothing for wor-
thless and absurd precedents. a de-
cade ago it would have appeared
ridiculous to suggest the possibility
Of the King of England and the Ger
man Emperor meeting on the soil of
Virginia where the birth of the Amer
lean nation was being commemorated
by the Jamestown Exposition. Such
suggestion is, in the light of pres
ent events, we'll within the bounds
of probability.
King Edward is thinking Of COM
ing to America for visit. The Eng
lish newspaper that enjoys the per-
sonal favor and countenance of the
throne urges him to do So. The London
Daily Telegrap, the relations of which
with the king have always been cord
ial, admit that there are some OBJ
stacles III the way, but insists that
such a visit would be a great bene-
tit to the progress Of civilization and
perpetual international amity. 1t be-
lieves sincelely that the visit ought
to be made and probably will be made.
1t is well known that the British
king does not care straw for prece-
dent where it interferes with pro-
gress.
The Royal itinerary will include
the jamestown Exposition near Nor
folk, Washington, New York and Can
ada. 1t is peculiarly fitting that Eng
land s present king should witness the
commemoration of the founding of
English speaking America under a
charter granted by an English king.
With regard to the visit of the Ger
man Emperor we have the word Of an
eminent writer on political subjects
who is in close relations with the
Imperial Foreign Office.
Herr Albrecht Wirth of Munich,
one of the most distinguished pro-
tessors at the Pavarian University
has contributed a signed article to
Dex Tag on the possibility Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Emperor William
exchanging visits. DR.. Wirth is not
only noted writer OH political affairs
but his connections with the Imperial
Foreign Office are very close, and as
a consequence his suggestions are not
only interesting but in a way may be
taken as semi-official.
Emperor William has no predilec-
tions against leaving his native
shores. Newspaper readers will re-
call his visit to Palestine and Asia
Minor. His Moroccan trip is fresh
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1906-06-29

IN y s tn the memory Of everyone, and his
visits to England have been frequent.
The logic of events have forced
America in the position of a world
power and the character and attain
ment Of Mr.. Roosevelt have done
much to increase the prestige Of the
United States abroad.
His interest in the Jamestown Ex-
position has been unwavering. Twice
ne has made it the subject of sec
ton in his message to Congress, and
he has always. expressed himself as
cordially in sympathy with the move
ment to celebrate the birth Of the
nation. In fact he has gone to the
extent OF saying that the foundation
OF jamestown is an event (Which
must be celebrated by the American
people as whole.'
At no time could the Emperor's
visit be such compliment to Mr..
Roosevelt personally or to the Ameri-
can people, as OH the occasion of the
Ter-centennial celebration, and it is
certain that at no other time could the
Kaiser's coming have such an iflu-
ence IN creating or cementing interna-
tional friendship.
The ships of civilization will be
anchored in Hampton Roads and the
armies of the world will Be encamped
and regiments from all the world s
countries will be encamped on the
shore. The visit therefore would be
as eventful as could be desired and as
dramatic as could be conjurcd by any
wizard Of the pen.
Should the Kaiser be induced to
follow DR.. Wirth s suggestion and
visit America, the transportation
facilities Of Virginia will be taxed
to carry the crowds who would like
to welcome him.

SPECIAL COMMITTEE REPORTS.
Dispensary Paid More for Whiskey
Than Other Consumers
Discussion Over Other Mat
ters.

Columbia, June 26.-The matter al
most of sensational interest before
the dispensary investigation meeting
today was the long-looked for report
of the sub committee, consisting of
Messrs. Lyon and Christensen on their
several trips Of investigation to the
whiskey houses from east and west,
which have had dealings with the state
dispensary.
The report goes into the details Of
the visits to the houses and number
Of instances are pointed out Of houses
selling to concerns out side the State
at lower prices than to the State stuff
sold to the state dispensary, which
is, i'll almost every case, the biggest
purchaser There are many pages of
this sort Of details, the report finally
=, winding up with a recommendation to
the effect that $S00,000 worth of
claims now being held up be continued
suspended with the others and the
whole matter referred to the next
legislature with the suggestion the
body appoint a board of expert ac-
countants to canvass the various
claims in detail, and say what should
be paid and what not. The sub-com-
mittee argued along the line, that it
could not give the claims the search
ing investigation demanded, as the
members Of the committee were in
expert accountants, and that the COM
mittee had no authority, anyway, to
scale claims. The body of experts
should have authority to do this seal
ing and say what part of the claims
should be paid, or if any of. them
should be paid.
The session this morning was of lit
tie interest otherwise.
The Carolina Glass Company had a
lengthy statement to submit, in de-
fence of the various things that should
be insinuated against it and after
some skirmishing, Mr.. Lyons with
drew objection to admitting this
statement, he to have the opportunity
to canvass it through witnesses later.
Attorney G. Duncan Bcllinger, offer
ed an affidavit from Boykin as to
the Lanahap incident, but this was
held over to be submitted later. The
statement Of the Carolina Glass Com
pany was admitted into testimony an
swering questions from the case.
Governor John. G. Sheppard, who
wanted to know the fate of claim
J for concern lie represented in the
capacity Of an attorney, this concern
not being mentioned in subcommittee
report, Mr.. Lyon said there were a
number of concerns the committee
had discovered nothing against. Some

conclusion, The most important II
these Is the reballasting OF the road

Many new improvements have been

about a third OF which sum il to be

continue on reballasting IN planned.
Particular attention will be given to
the reballasting Of the III Paso divi'
sion. which runs from Harrington.

100 miles OF this line was reballasted
last year and we are going to keep
right at work on It until the whole
line Ia reballasted end placed In the
best possible condition.
"One OF the first new improvements
will undertake In this vicinity II
the enlargement OF u freight termi.

Engineers have been working on
plans for this enlargement for some
time. but they have not been decided
on definitely. In q general way the
capacity Of the terminals are TO b.
more than doubled and a big round
house IL to be erected there. This i'm.
provement will cost between $780,

and will then begin work at once"
Mr.. Nudge was asked as 70 the pro.
liability OF the company d~Ouble-track-
ing the line between Topeka and
Mcfarland and he replied that while
the necessity for this Improvement
was recognized he did not think 1t
