gentleman prominent in the financial
and banking world of the city, who has
spent his entire life here, in a converse
tor with the reporter for The Star
said that the future of Pennsylvania
avenue from an artistic standpoint de-
ponds entirely upon what action Con-
gress takes in regard to securing all that
portion of the city lying between the ave-
nue. and the mall. from the Capitol to the
White House. Congress should at once
secure this property, he said, when 1t can
be bought cheaper than it can be In the
future, and should lay 1T out for public
buildings set In wide parks. and all that
section should be made one big national
park. Had it been done long ago many
of the public buildings, which have en-
croached on breathing space In other Sec
lions of the city, would have been located
there, he says, and Pennsylvania avenue
that is. the portion between the Capitol and
the White House-would have been the
grandest street In the world.
The Star reporter called upon several
other business men and all agreed that

The extent to which good times at home

pressively shown by the April report of
this country's foreign trade. 1t has al

that month surpassed all corresponding
records. and the fact that our importationt

that have been made along the north side
of the avenue from 7th street to nth

Those who keep In touch with real estate
matters along the avenue say that the re-
moval of the 3. and p. railway depot from
It's present location to the new union sta
ton will have beneficial effect-not at

That real estate along the Avenue Is a

remarkable increase in values noted. Prop

and In many instances three times the old

Bad Negro Children.

ANDERSON, Feb. 1.-Two small negro
children of Mary Childs have been lodged
in Jail charged with having committed a
murderous assault upon their mother
The woman lives several miles below the
city. While sleeping alone in the room
with her two children she was beaten
about the head and body and was found
in an unconscious condition the next
morning. Her wounds will probably re-
suit fatally.
The children deny any knowledge OF
the affair, though sleeping in the same
room with their mother. Her daughter
who is held by the authorizes, was sleep
ing in the same bed but processes to be
entirely ignorant of the assault. The
woman's husband was away from home
at the time. The affair will be fully in
vestigated.

"a Montgomery county boy was also

relatives and subsequently, removed to

"The State of Texas made grant of

The Commercial Spirit.

. This newspaper has had occasion to
heretofore remark upon the idea our
congressman seem to have of their duties
in congress. It is little wonder that they
are paying more attention to appropria-
tions than anything else when even the
newspapers hold views like the follow
ing, taken from Progress, a newspaper
published at Union:
"Mayor Mahon, of Greenville, has an
nounced that he will oppose Hon. Joseph
r. johnson in the race for congress-. 1t
Is up to Congressman Johnson to show
what he can do in the way of getting a
fine Federal building and free delivery
for Union, and not simply think that q
few rural delivery routes and packages
of seeds will sufice-that is if he wants
the support of Union county people the
coming summer"
The people themselves are to blame
very largely in this matter. Even if a
congressman wanted to devote his time
to the greater affairs of the nation, his
constituents would not allow him to do
30. Our congressman have degenerated
into financial agents, and their time is
taken up with appropriations for public
buildings, getting government jobs for
people in their district, and other matters
which they should not be bothered with.
It is high time more craftsmanship and
less greediness was displayed.

We have no sympathy with lawbreak-
ers, but serious mistake was made IN
prosecuting the men charged with the
lynching of two negroes at Ulmer re-
Gently, on such fiimsy evidence. When a
man is carried into court on such a seri-
ons charge there should be some sub
stantial evidence against him. However,
lynchers might as well make up their
minds that an attempt will be made to
enforce the law in all cases.

For our part, we have not the slightest
Interest in the financial affairs of the Hon.
orable "Hubbie" 81. Evans, of Newberry,
chairman of the State board of dispensary
directors, but in view of the general sus-
picion attaching to the board which seems
to be held by the people generally, it
would be good idea for him not only to
be willing but to ask for the closest scru-
tiny into what he was worth when he
went on the board and now. If he can
show that his property increase has moth
ing to do with the dispensary and was
honestly gained, he has nothing to fear
from such an investigation. By object
ing to the Investigation he does himself
damage with those who are not his enc
mics. The investigation should 60 on,
however, and the whole truth should come
out, no matter who objects. The COM
mittee owes duty to the people OF the
State and they should perform it fearless

but of stern duty.

Novel Entertainment Held For Young
st. Louis Matrons.
Race suicide was the chief topic ta-
booed the other night at perhaps tne
most original dinner ever given IN
America certainly the most novel IN
St Louis-at which Mrs. Charles L.
Jones, mother-in-law Of City Attorney
Maurice Jones Of East st. Louis was
the hostess, says St. Louis special to
the New York Press. Mrs. Jones the
elder entertained, six young marons
at a stork dinner, as she called 1t, and
50 admirably did she carry out the IDEA
that no other term would fit it All the
half dozen young matons who were
her guests had been married about hall
a year. They were schoo'mates ana
grew through girlhood together. Mrs.
Jones had kept a motherly eye on them
from their respective wedding days,
and she concluded few days ago the
time had arrived for her social coup.
Painted by hand on every invitation
was flying stork. That was hint, 30
the guests were not amazed on arriv-
ing In Mrs. Jones luxurious home to
find it redecorated for the occasion,
with the wide wings Of the portentous
bird futtering in all directions. Nor
did the idea end there. Each youthful
matron found at her plate a paper
crib. Over every cradle q tiny stork
dangled timer cherub. AS each favor
in turn was lifted, the baby fell into
the crib and snuggled cozily on paper
pillow. All the napkins were folded
with safety pins, and the center piece
was a huge stork zealously guarding
the welfare Of en- imitation Of an in
FAINT in swaddling clothes.
The menu consisted Of the following
dishes: Baby food soup, crib celery,
milk fed chicken, gocart potatoes, Cas-
toria sauce, paregoric salad, baby curl
candy, nuts, with safety pins as picks,
paddy cake and I-scream.
All Of the young matrons were school
mates and were married in circle Of
their own, several Of them acting as
bridesmaids of the old chums, only to
be led to the altar soon after by men
who had acted either as best men or
ushers at the previous weddings.

C0URTSHIP OF
MISS ROOSEVELT
How Congressman Longworth
Wooed Presidents Daughter.
INCIDENTS OF THRILLING ROMANCE

Member Of Secretary Taft's Philip
pine Party says the WooinE Began
on Way Across PeeiAc, and EnEaEe-

Rescue By Bridegroom to Be-sulu
Dstto's Fine Gift.
An through the long trip to the far
east which Miss Roosevelt and Con-
gresham Nicholas Longworth took
with the Taft expedition to the Philip
pines last summer the attention Of the
party, especially Of the women, was
intently focused upon the young cou-
pie. From one Of the members Of the
party the New York Journal obtained
sundry personal recollechons Of Incl
dents on the way in which Miss Roose-
velt and Mr.. Longworth figured Some
of these are printed below:
1T speaks well for the women Of the
Taft parry that they were able to keep
a secret 80 well. for all Of them knew
before the voyage back to San Fran
cisco was ended that Mr.. Longworth
had proposed to Miss Roosevelt and
had been accepted
Miss Roosevelt was under the strict
chaperonage Of four women Of mature
years, and naturally they were keen to
know II their judgment was to bs con-
frmed, because they were ali morally
certain before we had been At sea
day on the outward trip that Mr.. Long
worth was an ardent suitor. So no
one was very greatly surprised one DAY
when Miss Roosevelt appeared with a
new ring. Rather It was an old one, for
it has been in the Longworth family
for years. It is a single sapphire set
in a band Of plain, dull gold
"sYes,' said Miss Roosevelt, blush
ing, but frank enough, when she saw
the women looking at the ring, I've
promised
"She insisted that the engagement
must be unannounced until her father
and mother had been consulted. OF
course every one agreed.

"Mr. Longworth's wooing wasn't al
together a bed Of roses. he didn't
merely have to ask once. know that
He had to do some coa1ing. He was
frankly jealous too.
"While we were in California there
was a French count in the French Dip
lomatic service who was devoted to
Miss Roosevelt. Mr.. Longworth did
not fancy the friendship bit, and he
showed it. Oh, he was jealous all
right! There was a dance one night
and the Frenchman and Mr.. Long
worth had sedate race to Miss Roose-
velt's side to beg the honor Of dance.
Longworth got there little ahead, but
Miss Roosevelt gave her arm to the
count.
".Run away and play she said
laughingly as she foated off with the
count.
"Longworth became interested in the
prettiest girl at the party and let Miss
Roosevelt severely alone for the rest
Of the night. They made up the next
day though
"Like most Of the younger men Of
the party, Longworth wore white ducks
and f1annels when we were in the hot
climate going down through the is
lands. He liked to sport q brilliant
red necktie-the reddest red ever saw
which did not suit the critical eye Of
Miss Roosevelt
"She frequently bantered him about
it and entreated him to take it off,
but he wouldn't. At Hongkong she
bought a tie for herself, redder and
more violent If anything than Long
worth's.
Red isn't especially becoming to her,
but she put on the tie next day and
announced that she intended to wear
it until Longworth surrendered. BE
weakened, and both ties were consign-
ed to the deep.
1--WE all got a scare at Jolo on ac-
count Of Longworth. The youngsters
were bathing In the ocean one after
noon, and a newspaper man Of the
name Of O'Brien got caught in the un-
dertow. He tired quickly and was be-
ing carried out to sea when Longworth
took after him and brought him In. It
was risky situation because he had
to buck the tide to get to shore, which
was big enough job in itself without
having helpless, foundering man to
tow.
Miss Roosevelt, with the other wo-
men, had gone ashore at the first
alarm. Most Of them were crying and
wringing their hands, but she didn't
She stood knee deep in the water, lean
ing forward with her hands clinched
and her face pale. But not a sound
came from her. When it was all over
and everybody was patting Long
worth on the back and telling him
what hero he was she walked away.
I'm a minute she came back. Her
eyes were red. All she said to Long
worth was:
MY, what brave young man!
Aren't you afraid you'll get your name
in the newspapers?'
II guess she said something more
that night, because they had one end
