are glad Il Newbcrry man is on the

Our cotcmporary, the Observer,
and Mr.. .JohnStonc have construed the
constitution and so far as we are con-
ccrncd it may stand as they inter
prrt il. They say that the chairman

that. therefore. Mr.. Johnstonc is To-

That noise which was made in New
berry sometime ago about the hospital
seems to have partly, at least, died
away. We trust that those interest.
ed i'll this important movement for
the city of Newberry will not stop the
work, it seemed, they had so well un-
der way. Surely the committee Of
the chamber Of commerce which had
the matter in hand will not let up in
their efforts until the hospital is es-
tablishcd. ThS movement has the
endorsement of all OF the physicians
Of the city, as well as those Of the
county, and we are satisfied that if
the work is kept moving the hospital
can very easily be built.

chairman Of the Clemson board to
arouse SO much comment on the SUBJ
ject. We took it for granted that
the presidency of the board was

olina, and inasmuch AS the constitu-
tion is so explicit on this subject and
contains a separated article as to
members Of the general assembly it
seemed that there was no other al
ternative
We nope that We will not be mis-
understood. Our relations with Mr.
Johnstonc as Il member Of the lcGis-
lature have been exceedingly pleas
ant, and we should regret very much
for the necessity to arise Of Il spe-
cial election in this county, in addi-
ton to losing the services Of 50 valu-
able Il memcbr as Mr.. Johnstonc. So
we say we do not desire to be misun-
derstood, but it does seem to us that
the constitution is very plain on this
subject. We do not claim to be any
thing but a layman, neither do we
claim any considerable knowledge Of
constitutional law. but il seems that
the constitution is very jealous Of

SCRIPTURAL CONTEST.
Young Peoples Society Study Bible
In a Novel Way.

About three weeks ago the Young
Peoples Society OF the Uaited Pes.
byterian church arranged for a Scrip
turc contest. The society was liviJ-
Q | into two divisions. The side quot
ins the most Scripture verses ;lccu.
rately, giving the book, chapter and
verse, is to be banquetted by the los
ing side. This contest is to continue
for about two months. About a dozen
of the young people met, at the par
solage, 40 Second avenue east, Mon
day, April i, at 1880 p. m, and recit-
ed Scripture texts for an nour and a
half. Much interest mas been awak-
ened in Bible study, many of Tie
young people committing whole chap
ters in the Bible. Thus far they have
quoted four hundred and twenty
verses. The benefit of such a contest
can scarcely be realized, as there is
nothing that will enrich and strength
en- the life as the word of God stored
away in the heart.

FIRE IN GRISCOM'S HOUSE
AMERICAN AMBASSADOR TIC
ROME NEARLY. BURNED OUT,
Ball Room Ceiling Ruined and Several
Paintings Damaeed-loss Is
Estimated at $4,000.

Rome, April 1.-While Lloyd C.
Griscom, the American ambassador,
and Mrs. Griscom were returning from
the Easter services at the American
church Sunday, they saw smoke ris-
ing from the roof of their home, the
PalaZzo del Drago. Mr. Griscom hur.
riedly entered the building and found
the servants were unaware that the
palace was on fire.
The ambassador led the way to the
attic. Flames burst forth as he opened
the door and burned his hand and
sfnged his eyebrows. When the fire,
men arrived the beams, which were
put in place centuries ago, were burn
ing briskly The roof over the attic
collapsed, causing the center portion
of the ceiling of the magnificent ball
room to fall. The furniture and paint
ings were quickly removed, but not
before several of the latter notably
one of President Roosevelt, were
damaged.
After working two hours the fire.
men succeeded in checking the blaze.
The loss is estimated at $4,000 and
is covered by insurance.
Ambassador Griscom had intended
to sign the lease Monday for the
house. which still is under lease to
the former American ambassador,
Henry White. Cd.
The origin of the fire has not been
definitely established.

MICHIGAN GOES REPUBLICAN.
Democrats Are Defeated by Majority
of About $4,000.

Detroit, Mich, April with about
Michigan Monday, the Republican
state ticket, as was expected, has re-
ceived a majority of about $4,000, &C
cording to returns available. The sue
cessfufe candidates on the state ticket
are as follows: Supreme court just
ices, Aaron V. McAlvay and William
l.. Carpenter; regents of the state uni
versity, Junius E. Beal and Frank B.
Leland, and member of the state board
of education, William A. Cotton.
There was comparatively little in
terest in the election except in those
cities which had local fight of i'm
portance, and in the Fifth congression-
al district, comprising the counties of
Kent, Ottawa and Ionia, where the Re-
publicans voted on a candidate to
stand at the special election to elect
successor in congress to William
Alden Smith. G. J. Diekema, chair
man of the Republican state commit
tee, and State Senator Huntley Rus
sell were the candidates for the NOM
nation in the Fifth district, and Chair
man Diekema has apparently secured
majority of 1000.
Mayor William Thompson of Kala-
maZoo, Democrat, was reelected de-
spite terrific campaign made against
him. In Jackson, Mayor w. w. Todd,
Democrat, was defeated by B. J. Glas-
gov. In Bay City, Mayor Gustavus
Hine, Democrat, was reelected, and
the city gave a large majority to a
proposition to bond for 100000 for
water front park.
In Detroit the only offices voted for
were police justice and school inspec-
tors.

Bouquet for Joe Beeson.

Ebert Hubbard, the sage of East
Aurora, in an article in the Kansas
City Journal says:
Nine years ago Ely Meyer and M.
C. Simon started out with little
capital and no friends in a small loft
on the third moor of one of the old
landmarks of Rochester, with the
grim determination of revolutionizing
the clothing industry of this country
by producing garment watch, though
ready for instant use, equalled, il in
deed they did not excel, the creations
of the finest tailors of Ais country,
Their success stands out as the most
phenomenal achievement in the his
tory of modern merchandising. IN
Kansas City the managing partner is

in accord with the work which Is be

ALL BUILDING is STOPPED
CARPENTERS OF MINNEAPOLIS
QUIT THEIR WORK
They Demanded Higher Pay, and Mas
ter Builders offered Compromise,
Which Was Rejected.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 2.-Fol-
lowing the example Of the transfers,
painters and upholsterers, the carpen-
tiers have walked out and building OPP
erations all over the city are shut
down temporarily as result, although
there is no strike. The walk-out Mon
day followed decision reached at the
meeting of the master builders held
Saturday night.
Labor leaders say that for some
time the carpenters have been asking
for higher wages and the contractors
have been equally positive in their
statements that no higher wages
would be granted.
After some discussion compromise
was offered and in place of the As
cents an hour that the carpenters ask
ed for the contractors offered them
42R cents an hour and agreed, If bust
ness warranted it by July /, to raise
their wages to As cents.
The carpenters decided that in case
their demands were not complied with
they would walk out, but many men
had begun work before they learned
that the master builders had decided
not to meet their demands but wished
to make a compromise, and as soon
as they heard of this, the men laid
down their tools and walked out.
About 1900 men went out, it is rough
ly estimated, although the contractors
assert only half that number are not
working, and that in many cases
union men are still at work.
San Francisco, April 2.-Twelve
hundred laundry workers here and 600
in Alameda county Monday voted to
go on strike when their employers re-
fused to grant them an eight-hour day
and an increase of wages. Nine laun-
dries here closed down. Only three
laundries agreed to the terms pro-
posed by the union.
Vancouver, 3. c., April All car
penters and painters in Vancouver
went on strike Monday and building
operations are at standstill. Seven
hundred and fifty carpenters attended
a mass meeting where it was decided
to strike until contractors agree to in
crease wages by one dollar per day.
