LOOKING FOR INSURANCE.
All the Local Concerns Want Their
 Share of the City Work.


 The present city administration doesn't believe that any particular firm has first call upon 1t and as a consequence some little dissatisfac- tion has arisen among the insurance men, especially those who got the lions share of things in the past. The plan now with insurance is to do what everybody wants done with the water. equalize 1t. so that mo- body will be getting more than his share. Of course this does not suit everybody and naturally there is more or less classification in certain quarters. Already the firm of Root & Boyd. who had quite consider able insurance under the business ad- ministration. has lost heavily and probably before all of it is given out they will not have Any more than some of their neighbors. One of the city officials told reporter of this paper to-day that it was out of the question to please some firms on this business. If you don't give them what they had before, even though that might be twice what they were en- titled to. they will find fault and as a consequence it means an all- around kick until the whole of 1t is gone. He said they are aiming to di- vide 1t up now so that all will be treated as nearly alike as 1t is pos sible to do and notwithstanding this considerable bad feeling has been stirred up over it, more he thought than existed when the most of 1t went to one or two and the rest got nothing. It appears to be on old story. much is expected where much is given. and generous hand is the worst in the world when it ceases to serve the purpose of those who have profited handsomely by 1t.

Lower section Of the Big Trunk
 Sewer Nearly Ready for Business.
 The lower section of the trunk sswer, the big job which the city is now having done in connection with iu sewage system. is about com pleted, the Frank T. Ley Co having made rapid progress with their part of the sewer. The lower section, or section No 2, is about 2,000 feet in length, and extends short distance below Nicholas bridge, where the sewage disposal beds will begin.
 The upper section, which is very difficult undertaking. is being pushed along very we'll considering the cir and the Grouse Go. If ev- erything pans out as planned, may have the work finished in two months. The Grouse Co is now on the tunnel which proved such a hoo doc to the McGovern Co. There are two shifts of workers employed on the tunnel, for they can work there as we'll by night as they can by day. uc tuuuei iS III doout ls0 ieel sO that the men have very little light in there. One shift works from in the morning until in the evening, while the other works from in the evening until in the morning. On Railroad Hill street there are two openings into the tunnel and at this section the workers excayate about 100 feet each week. The foreman on the job stated to-day that 1t Is hard to estimate when the tunnel will be finished, but said that If 1t progressed as rapidly as it has the past few weeks 1t would be com pleted in about two months. Still he was of the opinion that 1t might be the first of November If any accidents were to take place.

An Exceptional. Iron Bed Offer

Our Iron Bed Makers sent us c dozen $500 White Enamelled, Brass Trimmed Beds in the four foot width instead of the regular full siss of four foot six inches. Rather than stand the expense of sending them back they can be bought while they last at
 Exactly Half Price. .S2. 50 Lots of people would rather have a bed trifle narrower anyway on account of the size of the bedroom. These beds are extra strong and of the best enamel finish. To partly pay for the cost of delivery and expense of handling them we make the ro- striction that a spring be purchased with each bed. Springs costs S3.0o. s4.00. $500 and s6.00 and they're the best quality of the styles made. IF YOU'VE A SUMMER COTTAGE

 you will find this offer a most excep- tional opportunity. We positively cannot duplicate it.

Pro Rata Not Forthcoming.

W. A. Clark, president of the Car
olina national bank, testified before
the dispensary investigating commit
tee that he had had frequent conver-
sations with S. L. Lanahan Of Will
liam Lanahan & CO. of Baltimore, and
that Mr.. Lanahan complained that
although he had over 100000 in
vested in manufacturing enterprises
in Columbia, he could not get his due
proportion of orders from the dispen-
sary.
He put in evidence a letter which
he had received from Lanahan and
had turned over to Governor Hey
ward. The latter declared his inten-
ton to remove the purchasing board
if Mr.. Lanahan would furnish specific
information. That was in December,
1904, and in the month following Coy
ernor Hayward recommended to the
legislature that the entire purchasing
system be changed.

A Liouor Tax Decision.

A decision was rendered in the
United States district court at
Charleston a few days ago of interest
and importance to the liquor dealers.
The court ruled that the payment VI
the tax by the house at its place OF
business did not cover the sales OF
solicitors or drummers in other COM
munities, and unless the opinion OF
Judge Brawley is reversed, the busi-
ness Of the anti-dispensary people WILL
be greatly handicapped all over the
state.
The matter came up on case
against NJ. Mannheim of Marion, VINO
solicited orders at that and adjoining
places for a Wilmington firm, and the
verdict Of guilty was found upon the
instruction of the court, which took
the position that the solicitors should
have a retail license, although they
do not carry a stock or handle the
LIQUOR addressed to the consignors IN
any way.

Hands and Feet Were Tied.

With hands tied behind and feet
roped together, Moses Hughes, a ne
gro, so years old, was found in Tiger
river, in remote section of Union
county. It is believed that the negro
was murdered on suspicion Of being
implicated in an incendiary fire in
which valuable property in that Sec
ton was destroyed in April last, at
which time a lynching was narrowly
averted. A son of the dead man,
along with two other negroes, is now
in Jail, charged with the burning. Ac-
cording to the story of negro wo-
man, thought to be the wife of the
dead man, two white men were seen
with the negro in charge, going to the
river.
An investigation is being made in
the case which it is believed will re-
suit in startling disclosures, involy-
ing prominent persons.

Cotton Manufacturers Oraanize.


The Cotton Manufacturers Associ-
alton of South Carolina was organ
lied at Greenville a few days ago,
representing over two-thirds of the
spindIes Of the state. Important reso-
lutions were adopted affecting hours
of work and pay, and proposing to the
legislature the enactment of three inl-
portant laws.
Several important resolutions were
adopted, among which one provided
that the running time of mills in the
state snail be reduced July l to sixty
four hours week; two years later
to sixty-two hours and July 1, 1910,
to sixty hours, with no reduction of
wages. The manufacturers pledged
themselves to observe strictly the
state law limiting the age~of child Ia
bor employed to twelve years and
over; they approved a compulsory
school law to apply to all children
under twelve years of age and rec
commended the enactment of laws re-
curing the registration Of all births
and marriages.
A committee was named to urge
the passage Of these laws by the gen.
eral assembly. Permanent organiza-
ton will be effected and officers
elected at a meeting June %, the
place of which will be decided later.

Nothing in It.

A certain young wife helps out het
husbands somewhat slender income by
doing dressmakins for her friends. Up
on coming home one evening, he found
her cutting up a piece Of goods for u
waist, and inquired:
"Well, dear, what do you expect to
get out Of that?"
"Oh, two dollars, I guess" was the
reply.
Later on, the parents observed their
little fve-year-old daughter engaged,
with a pair Of scissors, in cutting into
small fragments a scrap Of the same
goods.
"What are you doing-making your
dolly a dress" the father asked.
The little girl sighed.

LARGEST cotton mill syndicate in South
Carolina, was arrested on the charge
of contempt of the legislative commit
tee while investigating the affairs OF

had reference to a private conversa-
tion. and declined to answer. He was
then arrested.

Garibaldi left directions in his will
for the cremation Of his body, but
his wishes were overruled by the 1tal-

q bit self-conscious. ''Facing the sea,

other aromatic trees and plants grow

"This is So Sudden" Said

SHE'D AT DISCUSSI0N
kilograms and Letters Caught Him
in German Capital After Merry
Chase-WiIl Return Home
in August.

"This Is too sudden" said VIII
liam J. Bryan with laugh when he
was told at Berlin, Germany, Monday
Of the adoption by recent state con-
ventions of resolutions favoring his
nomination for the presidency Of, the
United States in 1908.
This is the first announcement OF
this news to me-" Mr.. Bryan conclud-
"a. Il have been of the main cara
=an route for some time and have
been absorbed in what I have been
seeing and doing.'
Mr.. Bryan had been moving so rap
idly since he left Vienna on Saturday
shat letters and telegrams for him
did not reach him until Monday.
AS to the possibility Of his nont-
nation, he had little to say, declaring
it is too early to speak OF that ques-
ton, but taking up the subject of the
political requirements, he said:
Before leaving home tried to dis
tinguish between democracy and what
can properly be called socialism. Dem
ocracy recognizes competition as ie-;
gitimate and tries to preserve the
competitive principle from attack. So
cialism sees competition as an evil to
be eliminated by public ownership
and operation of all means Of pro-
duction and distribution. While this
distinction between democracy and
socialism should not be overlooked
the democratic platform must be one
of progress and reform, and not mere
" of opposition to republican policies
or socialistic ideas. nour fight for
the absolute elimination of private
monopolies and for the regulation OF
corporations in general, it is necessary
that the party shall be free from any
suspicion of alliance with the corpo-
rate interests that have been dominatrs
ing American politics. To this end
campaign contributions must be limit:
ed to those who have the public In
terest to advance. trust that public
sentiment will require all parties 20
keep their books open SO that here
after no party shall be under private
obligations to shield corporate efend-
ers."
Alluding to conditions in the meat
industry, Mr.. Bryan said:
"The beef trust is not different 10
character and methods from other
trusts. The tendency Of a private
monopoly is to increase the price q
a product and to lower Its quality.
Why should any one expect anything
else from a trust than the lowering
of quality when a monopoly Is estab-
hshed. Observe q have used the.
words private monorolyt not public.
In private monopoly a private iti-
terest Is set up against those Of the
whole people. Quite a different prin-
ciple comes into operation when the
interest Of all is alone in view"
Mr.. Bryan left Berlin for st. Peters
burg Tuesday morning, and from
there will visit Sweden and Norway.
He will arrive in England early IN
July, and then will visit France, italy
and Switzerland. He expects to sail
on the steamer Princess Irene from
Gibraltar on Angst 20 and to arrive IN
New York on August 29.
