Inc bardWel DanR investigating
committee appointed to investigate
three of Denver's failed institutions
and to make recommendations for
law that would safeguard depositors in
private banking institutions and build
ing and loan associations, reported its
hndings with a set of accommodations
that will undoubtedly be carried into
law. The report criticises the conduct
OF the Denver Savings Bank from the
time application was made for a re-
ceiyer until that receiver closed his
accounting with depositors; but the
criticism is neither harsh nor the re-
suit OF partisanship. 1t calls attention
TO the manner in which the application
was made and granted, involving ques-
uonable methods, and the committee
is of the opinion that the cost of ad-
mlnlstration was too high. OF the as
signeeship of the Western Bank, there
Is some criticism and not a little
praise; and praise Is given the conduct
TO date OF the affairs of the Fidelity
Savings Association. Recommends
uons are put forward by the commit.
Tee that If adopted as a statute will put
savings banks. state banks and trust
companies on secure footing and re-
store confidence in such institutions.
Publicity and supervision are called
Tor and savings banks should be kept
as such and not as half savings. half
commercial. Stricter requirements re-
sarding the use of building and loan
associations funds are urgently advo-
Gated by the committee.

Jury Sets Judge Loving Free.

Houston, Va, June 29.-The verdict
of not guilty was found in the case of
former Judge William G. Loving, man
ager of the Virginia estate of T. f. Ryan,
tried for the murder of Theo. Estes,
whom Lovng's daughter, Elizabeth,
alleged had drugged and assaulted her.
The jury was out forty five minutes.
After the announceme ent of the verdict
Loving and his immediate family, OK.
ccpt his daughter, Elizabeth, who re.
mained away from the court room since
giving her testimony Thursday, thanked
each juryman and Loving received the
congratulations of many friends, though
there was no other visible demonstration
Foreman McCraw saidIthe basis of the
verdict was insanity, induced by the
stress of the story of the assault told by
his daughter. The basis of the argu.
ments of counsel for the defense were
regarded generally as pleading the "Un,
written Law"

JUNE 2y WAS SOUTH CAROuNA DAY
Ar JAMESTOWN GOVERNOR ANSEL, W. E
GONZALES AND OTHERS SPOKE.

Norfolk, Va, June 20.-Y esterday
was observed as South Carolina day at
tho Jamestown Exposition with Governor
Ansel, his staff, the full South Carolina
state commission, the Second Regiment
Of infantry of the South Carolina Ma
tional Guard and several hundred South
Carolinians present to participate in the
humorous events that were included in
the days program. The weather was
threatening, but the celebration was an
auspicious one.
The official exercises were attended by
hundreds Of visiting and resident South
Carolinians. The principal addresses
were made by Captain William K. Con
zales, Of the Columbia State, Governor
Ansel, President Tucker Of the Exposi-
tion and Honorable Walter Hazard, of
GEORGETOWN. The addresses were not
able and were received with great enthu-
siasm.
w. 4. Gonzales, president of the South
Carolina commission to the jamestown
Exposition, spoke in part as follows:
sour State may be charged with in
consistency in celebrating the landing of
the English at jamestown three centuries
ago, while at the same time glorying at
the inhospitality of Col. William Moul-
trio in his little fort Of palmetto logs to
the advances of Sir Peter Parker on the
2Sth of June, TITO, but 1t does not come
within my province to hsrmonize the ap-
parent contradiction.
"The South Carolina commission must
deal more with the present. In these
times of peace we cannot indulge in
Boston tea parties or live entirely within
the reflected halo OF Moultrie or Sumter,
but it is something to have the only tea
gardens in America.
ut is moro to be endeavoring by precept
and example to elevate the standard of
our citizenship of to-day" Mr.. Gonzales
deplored the fact that South Carolina is
without building at the exposition.
Referring to the South Carolina exhibit,
he said:
"If that which has been accomplished
here is gratifying to South Carolinians;
II in viewing their States f1rst appearance
at great exposition they are given
larger conception of that State resources
aud made to appreciate more fully her
industrial victories; if by the stirring of
their pride, those sons and daughters are
encouraged to greater ondeavor and
achievements, then, the exhibit is its
justification and those that created it are
rewarded"
Following the official ceremonies the
celebration of the day was continued at
the South Carolina State exhibit in the
States exhibit palace, where the Palmetto
State has an exceedingly fine exhibit.
South Carolina raised tea was served
to all callers, being poured by ladies of
the official South Carolina party and
served by Japanese girls.

Bloody ARRAY In Edsefieid.

Edgetield, July 1.-Sheriff Outz has
returned from Modoo, whittier he hurried
on Sunday to look into a most unfortu-
nate and bloody affray.
Winchester Mcdaniel, a man of m "a us
and high character, is the leading mer-
chant of Modoc. Tom Glanton, also of
Modoc, entered McDaniels store under
the Influence of whiskey, it is said, late
on Saturday afternoon and became en-
gagged in dispute with Mcdaniel and
h , two sons, who were in the store,
about some little bill or account. He
was ordered or pushed out of the store,
but returned, his return giving rise to a
bl, ody affray, the particulars of which
are not yet very clear.
In this affray Warren Mcdaniel, one of
the sons of Winchester Mcdaniel, shot
tom Glanton in the stomach twice and
in all probability the wound will prove
fatal. Glanton emptied his pistol with
out effect. Which man began the shoot
ing does not seem to be clear yet.
Freeman Glanton, a son of Tom
Glanton, was also stabbed and but for
timely medical aid might have bled to
death.
Tom Glanton was taken to the hos
pital in Augusta, whore at this moment
he lies in extremis, if not dead. Just
before Sheriff Outz left Modoc a local
physician returned from the hospital in
Augusta and reports that there was no
earthly hope of Glauton's life.

Vile Shot Husband.

Springfield, s. c., June 29.-Yesterday
evening Fillmore Latham, prosperous
farmer living five miles east of Salley,
was shot by his wife, Mrs. Josephine
Latham.
Physicians found it necessary to ampu-
tate all of the fingers of his right hand
except the thumb. About fifteen to
twenty shot entered his right side near
the point of the hip, but the doctors
were unable to ascertain if they pens.
trated the abdominal cavity or not.
Latham is seriously, if not dangerously,
shot.
fillmore Latham is said to be hard
working man Of some mean, but is of a
high and passionate nature. His wife is
said to be of like nature. Last evening
Latham attempted to whip an adopted
boy, when his wife interfered, causing
a difficulty between them in which she
struck Latham with stick. Latham
grabbed up double barrelled shot gun
and snapped it in the breast of his wife,
who stepped back into the house and,
picking up another gun, shot Latham as
above described.
People who know them blame Latham.
After shooting Latham, his wife went on
with her work as usual.

J. C. Hemphill for the Senate.

Norfolk, Va, June 3O.-At a confer
once held Friday morning between three
distinguished South Carolinians little
politics was injected into the ceremonies
of the day to the extent that Senatorial
boom was launched for Major j. G.
Hemphill, the editor of the Charleston
News and Courier.
1t had been definitely decided that the
veteran editor of the News and Courier
should be elected to succeed Senator
Asbury Latimer and that this desire was
practically certainty; at least this was
the view taken at the conference.

the Bucket.shup Law.

On July the anti bucketshop law,
enacted by the last general assembly,
became effective. This means that all
the cotton exchanges In South Carolina,
whether operated as bucket shops or not,
will have to 90 out of bushes.
There is nothing in the law as it is
generally understood here, however,
which prevents anyone receiving cotton
and stock market quotations, provided
orders for futures are not received or
transmitted.
The bureau is almost absolutely
necessary for cotton brokers, manufac-
turers and the farmers who want to keep
in close touch with prevailing prices
evory hour in the day. The dealers in
grain and meat want to know what
Chicago markets are doing and there is
some interest in the Now York stock
market.
The State law Is aimed at speculation.
1t seeks to prevent the handling of
contracts for future delivery, whether in
cotton, stocks, wheat or anything else.
The law, however, Is not effective in
inters tate business, and those desiring to
deal in futures will probably resort to
the telegraph companies, where they will
have to stand the heavy private tolls. 1t
is evident, therefore, that while specula-
tion cannot be stopped entirely, it will be
considerably reduced under the new Law.
We undarstand the markets will be
received by private wire by the different
manufacturers and buyers throughout
Oconee county.

Why Rev. Billings Was Deposed.

Blackville, S. C.-Further develop
ments in the case Of Rev. G. M. Billings,
recently depressed fro the pastorate of
the Baptist church here, are to the effect
that this drastic action came as the result
OF report which had been circulated
about Billings conduct with his cham
bermaid, neat cn,cced girl, who had
been in his employ for several years.
The story was generally reported on
the minister recently but the positive
proof of the charge was not secured till
letters by the pre- eAcher, which were read
at the church conference yesterday, to
the negro girl, who had fled to Bamberg,
S. c., cleared away the least vestige of
doubt and made those who had been the
preachers friends shudder with the
horror and debaseness Of his conduct.
the like of which was never before known
in this community.
These letters addressed to the negro
girl at Bamoerg told, in many terms of
endearment, of the love the minister bore
for her, that he could not live without
her presence, and that in order to be with
her at all times he would leave his home,
Ais wife, and all his friends--and go with
her, even to death.
Before coming to Blackville Billings
preached at WaynesVllo, N. c., Tim
monsville and Walterboro, s. c., and
other places. Repor'ed troubled of a
mature similar to that here was circulated
on the man at Waynesvilo.
Billings married an invalid wife in
North Carolina and to thom was born a
boy, who is still quite small. The physi-
cal condition of his wife and the youth
of the child greatly increase the enormity
of the offense against society and the
church.

LABOR EXCLUSION.

Editor Advertiser: In an editorial

CAS- of the New York Independent of

Two problems confront the farmer:
first, how to secure sufficient help.
sufficient to cultivate his crops and
sufficient to gather his harvests. He
is handicapped every season of the
year by the increasing deficit of that
sort of aid which will bring agri-
culture TO its maximum of produce
ton. According to the best results. he
is losing at present about two-fifths
of all which should be turned into the
channels of consumption, out of the
soil. For this reason. if for
no other, we hold that all farmers
should be found in opposition to any
law that bars honest labor out of this
country-certainiy for the reason that
ne will work for lower wages. Evi.

PREMATURE SCHOOLING.

''In view of lack of accommodation
| here and overcrowded conditions there
among the public schools, it might be
opportune to investigate the character
of school attendance generally. Is il
possible that there is an undue proper
| ton of pupils over the compulsory
school age of sixteen years? Or are
pupils under the opposite age limit OF
five years being allowed to crowd the
primary departments? Such conditions
were discovered a few years ago in a
similar ncy."-Advertiser.
Editor Advertiser: The right to re-
lief of almost destitute, hungry and
wet little children forced by society to
go to school and learn lessons, has
never received proper attention.
DR.. Schmidt Mounard, of Leipsic,
who has spent several years in MAX
ing the observations w%ch have en-
ab1ed him to arrive at certain def
mite conclusions, states:
That during the first year at school
the growth of children, both as re-
CARDS height and weight, is less than
it is during any preceding year. Thus
he says that during this first year at
school the average child gains only
two and one-half pounds as hereto
fore, and increases only five centime-
tiers in height, instead of seven.
Further, he claims that children who
do not go to school until they are
seven years old become stronger and
are in all other respects better de-
veloped than those who go to school
a year sooner.
Physical well-being of children, and
their growth, is in many
instances injured by five years con-
inement in damp clothes and an in
adequate supply of fresh air in some
Of our school rooms.
