APPROPRIATION
PERIOD CLOSES
STATE ENDS YEAR WITH ITS RI.
NANcES in GOOD SHAPE.
BALANCE NEAR MILLION MARK

The States appropriation year end
ed Monday with it's finances in splen
did shape. None of the accounts OF
appropriations made by the last Gen
erai Assembly have been exhausted
and the State enters the second year
of the biennial period with its finan-
cial matters in a most satisfactory
condition. The receipts for this
month have been extraordinarily
large, all the officials and corporations
that pay revenue into the Treasury
having displayed commendable
promptness in making their remit
tances. with the result that tire will
be few delinquents at the end of the
month.
The balance in the Treasury is rap
idly approaching the $1,0O0,00O mark
again, and it is predicted that before
the end of the month it will be large
ly in excess of that figure. The bal
ance at the close of business Monday
was 1888, 46135, as compared with
So22,91S.69 at the beginning of the
month, and increase of more than
$460,000. 1t is confidently believed
that at the end of the month the bal
ance in the Treasury will be twice as
large as it was on March /.
During the nineteen days of this
month the receipts of the Treasury
have aggregated s5S2,152.44 This
sum is within 100000 of the total re-
ceipts for the month of March last
when high-water mark in the history
Of the Treasurer's office was reached.
There are yet twelve days remaining
of this month, and during this time it
is expected that sufficient funds will
be obtained to bring the report to that
Of last year.
The total disbursements of the
State since March 1 have been $121,-
60S.47, and the disbursements for the
remainder of the month will be small,
as all the main items have been met
The sum that will be carried to the
sinking fund this month will be a con-
siderable one, and about April 1 the
Funding Board will be enabled to pur-
,hase a very substantial amount of |
bonds.

FRIENDS Are
VERY BUSY
IN SPITE OF MR.. BRYAN's STATED
WISHES.
WANT HIM IN NATIONAL
POLITICS AT ONCE.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-A Lin
coin, Neb., special to the Star says:
Friends of William ]. Bryan are af
flicted with political panic. In the
absence of the chieftain of Fairview,
ambitious Nebraska politicians have
Deen busy within the Democratic
ranks. There is a disposition to
force Mr.. Bryan into national politics
again. This he does not desire at
this time. Intimate friends of Mr..
Bryan concede that his real ambition
is to be President of the Unite 4
States. Democratic success is i'm
probable in 1905 he is quoted as say
ing. 1t is extremely probable in 1872
Elements of deterioration are within
the Republican ranks and cannot fail
to result in disorganization.
"A crop failure in the West could
not help but improve the chances of
Mr.. Bryan. During the last few years
his best friends have grown wealthy
and disciplined to labor in the politi-
cal field. Mr.. Bryan has also accum-
ulated a fortune. The Bryan of 1908
or 1912 will be totally different from
the Bryan of other years. Conserva-
tism has been creeping into his ora
tory, and caution has been largely
governing his actions.
Mr.. Bryan went abroad to avoid
mixing in the politics of his own
State, but the State leaders thwarted
ais plans. He was cheered, lauded
and eulogized in such glowing terms
at the State banquet that he cannot
possibly be a candidate for Senator
or Governor So he must try his
hand at National politics again, for
the State politicians will boom him,
willing or unwilling, for the Presi-
dency.

COL. ARCH HUGHES
RE-APPOINTED
WILL SERVE AS CoLUMBIA'S
PoSTMASTER ANOTHER FOUR
YEARS.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The
nomination of six Tennessee postmas-
tiers were sent to the senate today.
They were A. M. Hughes, Columbia;
Albert L. Scott, Dickson; Charles
Moss, Franklin; Henry Swaney, Gal
latin; Alex Raglan, Newport, and Ceph
Roney, Erin. All of these were reap
pointments and each of the nominees
were indorsed by Representative
Brownlow
The holding of these appointments,
several of which have been long over
due, was construed to mean that the
administration was waiting to bring
about a cessation of the Republican
factional strife in Tennessee. There
being immediate prospect of peace, all
of Mr.. Brownlow's recommendations
went through.
Col. Hughes time was out April

SUPREME COURTS ATTITUDE.
Course to Be Pursued to Be the Sub
ject of a Conference Later.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-some
OF the members of the Supreme Court
OF the United States are considering
tR advisability of an attempt to Sc
cure the punishment of the members
of the mob which last night took from
the jail at Chattanooga, Ed john
son, the negro rapist, whose legal ex-
ecution today was stayed by an order
issued by the Supreme Court yester-
day. The Department of Justice also
is considering action in the matter.
The Supreme Court is now in ses-
sion and conference may be called at
a nearby date to consider what course
should be pursued. But two modes
OF procedure have been suggested, one
contemplating the taking of the matter
in hand by the. Supreme Court and the
other turning the matter over to the
executive branch of the Government.
In the first event the officers respon-
sible for the custody of the prisoner
would probably be called upon to an
swer to the court and in case the mat
ter would be turned over to the ex-
ecutive branch there would be an eff
fort to secure the arrest and punish
ment of members of the mob.

WE MAY Have
ELECTRIC CARS,
CHICAGO CAPITALISTS HAVE AN
AGENT HERE LOOKING OVER
THE TOWN FOR THE PUR-
POSE OF INVESTMENT.
THEY KNOW THEIR BUSINESS.
And Have, Made A Success in other
Townsof this size.-WilI Ask
For Franchise If the Outlook
Is up to Expectation.

Mr. ]. c. Meyers of New Decatur
Ala, is in Columbia looking over the
situation and interviewing the mem
bers of the Board of Mayor and Alder
men with a view of establishing an
electric street car system here. Mr..
Meyers is associated with a number
of Chicago capitalists, who recently
disposed of the Kansas City street
car system and who have decided to
invest in like enterprises in the lar
ger towns of the South. He says his
for some months and he feels confident
that if suitable franchise can be Sc
cured from the city and, if after a fur
ther investigation, the possibilities of
the situation come up to expectations,
his company will build large power
house here and not only build city
line, but possibly extend it to Mt
Pleasant.
Mr.. Myers is all the more confident
from what he has seen of the electric
railway in Decatur and in other towns
of like size in the south. Decatur had
at first mule cars, and the company
was losing money. AS soon as the
electric system was installed the re.
ceipts began to increase rapidly and
the system is a success not only from
n financial ctanHnnipf h1,t ha fnx
has been spreading and growing at
a rapid rate.
This last feature is one that should
be taken into consideration for an en-
ferprise of this character in Column
bia. The town is confined by the
river, the railroads and the hills and
has really had no chance to spread
and grow. 1t is almost impossible to
secure a desirable lot in town and
where one is for sale the price is be
yond the means of the man of aver
age or small means. Every desirable
house in town is occupied and desir-
able citizens, who would otherwise
lOCdI0 mere, are IOTCeu 10 20 10 OCn0r |
places for want of homes. With an
electric line reaching out to the |
bounds of town, homes would spring |
up, people would move here and build |
and people who are now forced to |
board or to live in rented houses
would soon have homes of their own.
The business of the system would
thus increase and Columbia would
within brief time take on new life.
1t has been proven time and again
that any improvement which makes
a town more accessible will draw
people to that town, and when town
once begins to grow, it's growth be-
comes contagious and new citizens
viii move in to participate in the good
lines.
Let the street cars come and give
hem every encouragement, for it I
means new life for Columbia and will ,
make the town an even better place
o live in than it is now.

Arms.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 20.
Five hundred special officers heav-
lily armed have patrolled the streets
of Chattanooga tonight to keep down
race war. At a late hour their eff
forts have been fairly successful, but
two white men have been shot in
street disturbances and there has been
one incendiary fire. 1t is believed
that the negroes can be held in check
for the time being, but many of them
who are known to be provided with
guns and pistols are making threats.
When the negroes learned early this
morning that Ed Johnson, convicted
rapist, had been lynched last night,
hundreds of them refused to go to
work and there was a rush upon the
hardware stores for firearms and am
munition. At noon all the stores had
sold out of ammunition. The negroes
congregated in large crowds, threat
ening to shoot white people and burn
houses.
At o'clock the Chief of Police or
dered all saloons closed and began
putting on extra officers. The Sheriff
also began to swear in deputies and
by night had secured and armed about
300.
At o'clock tonight negroes on East
Ninth street attacked two white men.
There was a fusillade of shots and
Deputy Sheriff Dick Light had a
thumb shot off. A railroad man NAM
ed William Curtis was wounded in the
shoulder
At $3.50 commission store on West
Ninth street was set on fire. Case
line was put under the building in the
rear. The blaze was extinguished
with but little loss.
The funeral of Johnson is to be held
