HEROES GRAVE.
Some Further Data Regarding Rev.
olutionary Hero Buried On
State House Grounds.
Columbia Record.

Columbia Record.
Much general curiosity is again
aroused to know something of the
history and connections of the Revo-
lutionary soldier, the dust Of whose
bones reposes il lone grave on the
South Carolina capitol grounds. The
grave. as stated in The Record the
other day, is thai Of Capt. Swanson
Lunsford, a native Of Virginia, evi-
IDENTIFY man Of some distinction in
MS time. but even the we'll informed
secretary Of the state historical COM
mission, Mr.. A. S. Salley, is puzzled
to know who Capt. S. Lunsford was
or why he was buried in the state
house grounds.
The headstone and other parapher-
malta marking this mysterious grave
have been removed by the legislative
commission havin gin Charge Of the
work Of remodeling the grounds, and
this has given rise to some appre-
hensio1 that the grave has been obi
terated. Captain Lunsford, accord
ing to the meagre scrap Of a newspa-
per clipping that contains all Of the
information that can be obtained Of
him outside Of the inscription on the
headstone, was at one time promin-
ent citizen of Columbia. The COM
mission will replace the headstone.
The headstone bears this inscrip-
ton:
"Capt. Swanson Lu1sford, ma
tive Of Virginia, and for. many years
a resident Of Columbia; died Aug.
9TH, 1899, aged about forty years. He
was a member Of Lees Legion in the
eventful period Of 1776. This humble
tribute to his memory has been plac-
ed by his only children, Mrs. NJ. l..
and her husband, DR.. John Douglass,
Of Chester, S. CO.
The newspaper clipping referred
to above records the fact that in 1877
Captain Lunsford. with John CAL
vert. Benjamin Waring, Thomas
Fitzpatrick. Samuel Green, Joshua
Benson, Burrage Purvis, George
Wade and John Taylor composed the
board Of commissioners Of streets and
markets in Columbia, and probably
this is basis for the .unverifed tradi
ton that Captain Lunsford was bu-
ried at the point as a mark Of honor
from the city, but this accounting for
the grave will not hold water IN the
light Of other facts, which will be
explained here.
Another tradition, which is also set
at naught by facts Mr.. Salley brought
out when questioned today, is to the
effect that Captain Lunsford owned
beautiful flower garden at the place
where he lies buried, that being his
property before it was acquired by
the state.
It is certain that Captain Lunsford
never owned the piece Of ground in
question, as the old state house was
completed ten years before he died.
In 1855 the state acquired four square
miles Of land, on which the city Of
Columbia was subsequently, built. The
state sold out its lots to settlers, re-
serving for the state house and
~-~'7d the square bounded by Main,
W ute, Assembly and Gervias streets
This grave is on the western half Of
the grounds. The state acquired the
additional square on the east later.

when Thompson approached Mclean
on the sidewalk and fired a bullet
into McLeans throat. breaking his
neck and causing death.

Thompson shot Scott three times in

TRADE REVIEW.
Business in Spring Goods 5ooms ana
Confidence in the Future Unshaken.

New York.-R G. Dun e Co. g
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business has responded to the infu-
ence of settled spring weather at
most points and the proximity of
Easter has increased retail sales of
dry goods, millinery and footwear.
Many dealers had underestimated re-
quirements and urgent demands are
made upon jobbing houses Transpor-
tation is more satisfactory but at
many cities there are still complaints
that seasonable goods do not come
forward as specified.
In addition to current trade there is
a volume of preparation for later sea-
sons that maintains activity at manu-
featuring plants, the high prices read
lily paid on most of this forward busi-
ness testifyins to the fact that conf.
dence remains mistaken. One of the
best features of the present situation
is the steady improvement in mercan-
tile payments, despite the unsettled
condition of the money market

TRAIN WRfCKERS AT WORK.
They Caused the Deraiment of an Ex-
press on the Pennsylvania Road.

Pittsburg PA committee rep
reseuting the Pennsylvania rail
road which has been investigating the
cause of the derailment of the Chi
cago limited Friday at Stewart, Pa.
near here, after taking the testimony
of the train crew and the crews which
passed point of derailment previ-
GUS to the accident authorized the fol-
lowing statement last night:
The wreck was caused by some
person or persons removing the bolts
and tie plates joining two rails and
turning one of them inward so as to
throw the train off the track. The
work was evidently that of one with
a knowledge of tracks and signals. as
the bond wire which completes the
electric signal circuit was carefully
kept intact thereby causing the sig
nails to show safe instead of danger
as they would have shown had this
contact been broken
The tools found near the scene of
the accident were such as are used in
laying track but were not the stand
ard tools used by the Penusylva-
mia Railroad CO.; nor were they the
property of the company. The place
selected for the derailment seems to
have been chosen with a view of
throwing the train off the track and
at the same time guarding as far as
possible against loss of life
The engine and the five cars were
derailed, but no one was hurt. Among
the passengers was Mayor Tom L.
Johnson, of Cleveland.

IT WAS SHORT.
The Conference Between President
Roosevelt and Railroad Presi-
dent MelIen.

Washington. ID. C.-The confer
ence between President Roosevelt
and Charles S. Mellen, president OF
the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad, on the railroad situa
ton took place at the White House
Tuesday. 1t lasted not more than 35
minutes. No statement as to the par
ticular questions discussed was made
at the White House and Mr.. Mellen
declined to talk. He referred his in
quirers to Secretary Loeb, adding
that anything he might say might be
construed as having a bearing upon
the situation.
Mr.. Mellen was asked whether he
would again visit the White House
but he replied that he did not expect
to unless sent for. Almost in the
same breath, however, he said that
perhaps he might come after all, even
If not sent for, as he is in the habit
of making frequent trips to the capi
tai
Within three weeks President
Roosevelt has had visits from half a

discussed the railroad situation.
The president says that he is learn
ing all he can regarding the railroad
situation and that he intends to con
tinue to consult with railroad people
and others. 1t is understood he is
making inquiries on points pertaining
to federal supervision and control OF
the railroads, an appraisement of the
physical yaluation of such properties
and on the issue OF various forms OF
Indebtedness.
When he has made up his mind and
is ready to tell the public just what
his attitude is on the railroad issue
he will do so in speech or in mes
sage to congress. Some expressions
from him are expected on the railroad
question during the next few months

Silent on the Tariff.

The silence upon the tariff question
by President Roosevelt is evidence
that he is not in line with the tariff
revision idea. President Roosevelt is
a man who does not hesitate to men.
ton every needed reform and every
needed change in laws. He is not a
man to wait the actions of others, but
is always a leader. If he was salts
fled that the tariff needed revision he
would have said so in his message.
On the contrary he is silent, which
means that existing conditions do not
demand general change.
This, of course, does not meet with
the approval of one element of the Re-
publican party in this state, but it
does vindicate the great mass of Re-
publicans in Iowa in their contention
that so long as we are prosperous it is
right and proper to ''let we'll enough
alone" SO far as the tariff is con-
cerned.-Atlantic Ga.) Telegraph.

TRUTH ABOUT EXPORT PRICES.
All European Countries Sell Some
Goods Cheaper Abroad.

When it is remembered that almost
the sole ground Of antagonism to the
present tariff on the part of Repub-
lican ''progressives" is the small ex-
portation of American manufactures
at less than average domestic prices,
and that last years Democratic con-
gressional campaign had this for its
principal asset, especial interest at
taches to the following statements by
Secretary Shaw in his recent speech
before the chamber of commerce of
Springfield, Mass:
IF there be an article produced in
Europe which is not regularly sold for
export to America cheaper than it is
sold in the country of its origin, the
treasury department has not discov-
cred it. Every country in Europe
sanctions selling goods abroad cheap
er than at home, and the practice pre-
walls everywhere.
The charge had been so frequently
made that steel rails were sold abroad
at $3.50 below the American price that
| took occasion to investigate the mat
ter. | asked the president of the Unit
ed States Steel corporation to let me
see the records of their foreign sales
covering the period of the preceding 60
days. This favor was promptly grant
ed, and ] personally examined them.
Pho sales aggregated $4,000 tons, and
the average price on board cars at
factory was $27.65 a gross ton. The
lowest sale was $3.50 ton, so cents
lower than the American price"
Republican editors should paste this
in n conspicuous place at their desks
when about to take their pens in hand
for a fresh onslaught against the Ding
ley tariff because of goods sold abrad
cheaper than at home. Perhaps they
would write about something else if
they were thus constantly reminded
that the practice of cutting prices on
exports is q universal one, and that
less of il is done in the United States
than in any other part of the world.
Perhaps. too, they would reflect that
if we should reduce our tariff on ac-
count of the insignificant volume of
our cut price export trade we should
be merely providing bigger recepta.
Gle for the cut price exports of all the
rest of the world. Perhaps they would
end by deciding that the best thing tC
90 Is 10 let our tariff alone.

No Relief.

Sympathizing deeply with the sor.
rows of those Massachusetts manufac.
turers who long for free trade in crude
materials while retaining protection
for their finished products, John Sharp
Williams, leader of the free trade mi.
nority in the house of representatives
not long ago introduced a bill abolish
ing the duty on oituminous coal from
Canada. The house committee on
ways and means has voted to iodefi
nitely postpone consideration Of that
bill. Wait till the Democrats obtain
control of legislation. Then the down
trodden tariff reformers of Boston will
get free coal. Yes, and many Other
free things which they won't want.

Dingley tariff amply covered every ag-
ricultural interest; indeed, many of

A Vicious Political Heresy.

Some things of immediate rele-
vancy to existing conditions in and
around Boston were said by Secretary
Shaw in his speech before the Spring
field chamber of commerce en- the
14th of February. After discussing
his plan of free zone for manufac-
tured eXports-a project whose realiza-
tion is so remote, not to say impossi-
bic, Is to be hardly worth discussing
MI. Shaw turned his attention to the
Massachusetts idea of freckled free
trade and protection in chunks:
Free trade and protection are at
constant war with each other, and
will not harmonize. If New England
is to have protection for her manufac-
lures, then | insist that Florida shall
have protection for her citrus fruit
Louisiana for her sugar, Texas for her
cattle, Montana for her wool, and Da-
kota for her wheat. If New England
is to have free trade in the things she
consumes, then let her concede free
trade in the things she produces. Pro-
lection in spots and free trade in spots
is the most vicious political heresy
known to man, and resolves all eco-
nomic legislation into squabble for
local advantage. We have had more
than one experience with this kind of
legislation, and we ought not to invite
repetition"
1t seems a pity that these words of
plain common sense could not have
been addressed to the members of the
Massachusetts Legislature before they
signed that foolish petition in behalf
Of tariff revision, free raw materials,
and reciprocity in competitive prod
ncts. In that case the petition would,
we feel sure, have gone to Washing
ton with fewer signatures.
