plete its work and adjourn May II, one
week from next Saturday. Many OF

send cuy further communications TO
the legislature involving legislation.
He will however, send a communica-
ton relative to the claim Missouri is
supposed To have against the govern
ment. estimated at about S2,50O,00O,

exist TO show the validity OF these
claims and what steps should be taken
toward collecting them.

10 HONOR CALHOUN'S MEMORY
AN EFFORT THAT IS WORTHY OF EVERY
ASSISTANCE BY OUR PEOPLE.

y Yorkville, s. O., Jan. 15.-Editors
Keowee Courier: We, the under
signed, representing the Kings
Mountain Chapter, ID. A. r., York
vile, S. c., wish to call again your
attention, and that of your readers,
to work in which we beg your cor
dial help and cooperation.
Last winter 19O6) this chapter in
augurated movement which had
for its object the honoring of the
memory of John @. Calhoun by plac-
ing his statue among his compeers in
the Statuary Hall of the Capitol ut
Washington.
No South Carolinian ever views
those stately statues, erected by
practically all the States of the
Union in memory of her foremost
sons, without wondering why our
place has been 80 long unoccupied.
Last year we wrote to every wo-
mans organization and to all the
newspapers of the State, asking them
to use their influence to have the
Legislature appropriate the sum of
ten thousand dollars for the purpose
Of placing statue of John G. CAL
houn in the Statuary Hall of the
Capitol at Washington. There is
no dissenting voice in regarding CAL
houn as South Cardinals most fitting
representative. He was for forty
years the most conspicuous and in
fuential figure in national politics.
He was Representative, Senator,
Secretary of War, Secretary of State
and Vice President. Last year the
bill was unanimously passed in the
Senate, but was not acted upon in
the house. F%'ss
This winter the petitions will be
renewed, the bill will be again intro
duoed, and we believe the Legisla-
ture of South Carolina will be proud
to place itself on record as the one
to thus fitly honor our greatest
statesman.

delivered his inaugural address to

Episcopal church, which he aided
largely in building while he was pas

Penalty for Non.Payment Of Taxes.

The penalty for the non- payment
of taxes went into effect on January
1st. From that date until February
1st the penalty is one per cent, and
from February 1st until March lot,
two per cent. From March let until
the 18th it is seven per cent. After
this date all tax executions are
placed in the hands of the sheriff to
be served on all persons who have
not paid up. 1t then costs the de-
linquents considerable trouble and
much more money to get settled up
than if they had paid in time or even
if they had been penalized. The
taxpayers of this county have been
coming in quite large numbers to
settle up during the last few days
and there will probably be few who
will have to pay the heaviest penal
ties or have executions made out for
them on March 18th.

Terrible Outrage In WrsIaIa.

Lynchburg, Va, Jan. 10.--Late
Monday afternoon Miss Gladys Shell
ton, 17-year-old daughter of a we'll
TODD farmer, near Monroe, Amherst
county, was outraged by a negro,
the assault being one of the most
horrible in this section for years.
The girl was alone at home and
the negro, after accomplishing his
purpose, took the girl to creek to
drown her. He changed his mind
and made her go to neighbours
home, while he went in another di-
rection.
Monday afternoon five negroes
were arrested and brought here, a
mob of rs men chasing Sheriff Beard
and a deputy for two miles. The
girls condition is precarious, but she
will recover.

Seven Killed In Terrific Explosion.

Holidayburg, Pa, Jan. 10.-The
plant and buildings of the Standard
Powder Company, of Pittsburg, four
miles from here, were destroyed by
fire this morning, which was caused
by an explosion. The damage ex-
ceeded 100000. Seven deaths re-
suited from the explosion. 1t is be-
lieved that several bodies are yet
buried in the debris.
Reports indicate that the explo-
sion was not the result of an earth
quake, as some have thought. The
terrific explosion was felt at Harris
burg and other points nearby, the
vibrations lasting several seconds,
and this caused rumors of an earth
quake.
Later reports from the Standard
Powder Mill say the fire is under
control and change of wind has
placed the storehouse out of the
danger zone. Ten buildings in all
were destroyed and 85 farm houses
damaged. Five thousand kegs OF
powder went up in the explosion.
