TAFT on CANAL AFFAIRS.
Urges on Senate Committee the Necessit,
OF Settling the Type OF Canal.

OF Settling the Type OF Canal.
WASHINGTON, April 1e.-Secretary Taft
appeared before the Senate COMMITTEES
on Interoceanic Canals to-day and opened
a hearing that will occupy probably three
days. The Secretary has really begun
the closing arguments for the Administra "a
ton in canal matters, among which is a
strong plea for a lock level canal.
The Secretary declared unequivocably
for a lock level canal, but said he would not
discuss the engineering features, leaving
those to the able engineers who under
stood them; but he emphasized the import
ance Of immediate action by Congress
settling the type. II Congress decided not
to act the President would proceed to the
work of building a lock canal. Chief Engi-
neer Stevens had officially advised him
that he had gone az far as he could until
Congress settled the question of type.
The Secretary said he could submit no
estimate to Congress until the question
was settled, and Congress was waiting
upon the estimates before providing the
necessary appropriations.
Il am quite aware" said the Secretary,
"of the gravity Of the question and of the
serious character of a mistake, il a mistake
1t be, in the recommendation of a minority
Of the consulting board az to the Gatun
dam, and while | do not share 1t, | eympa-
thize with the anxiety which must affect
any member Of this committee il he has
real doubt in regard to the stability of the
structure, which is the distinguishing and
Indispensable feature Of the plan. But
however great the responsibility, 1t must
be met, and l submit with great respect
that it must be promptly met in order that
there shall be no unnecessary delay In
pushing the work.
Secretary Taft explained the connection
Of William Nelson Cromwell and his assist
ant, Roger Farnham, with the Panama
Railroad. Farnham, he said, had been
recommended by Col. Edwards Of the
Insular Bureau. Mr.. Taft said he retained
Mr.. Cromwell in the Panama canal work
because Il considered it NV duty to secure
the benefit of his services for the United
States" Mr.. Taft declared that Cromwell
had rendered. most loyal, efficient and
meagre compensation which he receives
as counsel for the railroad company"
Shortly after IL O'Clock the committee
at the request of Secretary Taft adjourned
until tomorrow.

HOME AGAIN!

Home again! And it's good.to be here.
We have had delightful outing OF two
weeks, and during this time great deal
of territory has been covered, a number
of cities visited, and much information OF
historical value has been gathered. We
shall, as soon as we can get together the
tangled threads of our affairs and get into
harness again, give our readers some &C.
count of our trip, feeling that it will be OF
interest and profit to many. 1.-The boys"
have kept The Herald going in good
shape, and last weeks issue (Which we
had absolutely no part in making) is the
best we have seen for some time. No
doubt a newsier paper was issued last
week than if the editor had been at home.
The loyalty and good work of our Office
force during our absence, and at all other
times, deserves this public recognition.
Some of these days we're going to get out
an industrial edition of The Herald, when
we will print the pictures of the Office
force, from the "old man" down to Frank
Pew. But we want to repeat that we are
glad to get back. To be back among our
friends and at home again is delightful.
After all, no place suits US so well as
Bamberg, and when one goes away for
awhile he realizes that there is no place
like Bamberg. And there isn't.

BOB SMALL SAVED FROM GALLONS.

Gov. Hayward Has COMMITTED the Sentence
in Response to Petition Of the Citi.
zens Of Darlington County.
Gov. Hayward yesterday commuted to
life imprisonment the sentence of Bob
Smalls of North Carolina, who is under
sentence of death in South Carolina.
Smalls was sentenced to be hanged in
May of last year, but an appeal was TAX
en- to the supreme court. A new trial
could not be obtained and the case then
came up to Gov. Hayward.
Bob Smalls and John Noll were two
yagabond white men working at saw
mill in Darlington county. They killed
a hard working negro named Frank
Scott on the 9Th of March, 1905. Scott
had shot dog belonging to Mr.. Harper
for whom the white men were working.
Frank Scott was stopped on the public
highway by these two young white
men and was shot down without prov
ocation. The assailants were drink
ing. They perhaps acted more in spir-
It Of braysdo than with intent to murder,
for the wound was in Frank Scott's thigh
and bis death was caused by an artery be-
ing severed.
After Scott was wounded, and after
wards it turned out to be fatal wound,
Noll, in savage and reckless spirit fred
at Mr.. Howle, white farmer, who was
demonstrating with the two young men,
Noll was sentenced to serve for life and
smalls was sentenced to be hanged.
