WAYNE TOWNSHIP
WILL AID IN WORK
This Was Decided by the Ad-
visory Board After Con-
SideratiOn.
CITY TO DO ITS SHARE.
TEcHNICALiTY IN LAW REGARD
ING TRANSFER OF FUNDS, MAY
PREVENT IMMEDIATE ALLEviA.
TON OF CONDITIONS.

Wayne township has been called up
at the potters field at Earlham GENE
terry and the township has expressed a
Willingness to take such action. With
this end in view Township Trustee
Charles Potter, Councilmen A. c. Og-
born and w. II. Bartel. and c. w. Msr-
rill, B. B. Johnson. W. p. ONeal of the
board of public works, called upon the
county commissioners this morning.
The potters field is the joint proper
ty of Wayne township and the city
of Richmond, therefore the city does
not want TO meet the entire expense of
improving the burial ground, estimated
at $500.
When Township Trustee Potter was
asked by the city officials to lend finan-
cial, assistance in improving the pot
tersf1eld. he called together the town.
ship advisory board and put the propo-
sition before them.
The advisory board. after estimating
that the city received taxes on $1,000
600 taxables and the township only re.
ceived taxes on $1,000, 900 taxables, au-
thorized the trustee to use $1aO out OF
the township fund for putting the pot
ter's field in good condition.
Township trustee Potter figured that
it would be fair for the township TO
pay $500 of the estimated $500 expens-
es for this purpose, so with the city of
ficials he called upon the board of
county commissioners this morning
and asked the commissioners to ap-
prove of a proposed action of taking
$50 from the township poor fund 10
be used with the S120 authorized BY
the advisory board. to be used toward
defraying the expense of improving the
burial ground for the poor,
The commissioners were not sure
that there was any law which would
sanction such action on their part and
County Attorney John F. Robbins was
consulted. Mr.. Robbins searched dill
igently through the statute books, but
failed to discover any law under which
the commissioners could act He
stated that in his opinion the town
ships share of the expense would have
TO be paid out of the poor fund alone.
Trustee Potter stated that notwfth-
standing the fact that the potters
field was owned Jointly by the town
ship and city. he did not think that
the township should be called upon TO
meet half of the expense of placing
the field in good condition, owing TO
the fact that 1t was rare event when
township pauper was buried there
The potters field in its present condi-
tion is disgrace to the community.
Nearly all the bodies buried there are
now under water and it is imperative
that the field be SO filled that this con-
dition will be remedied.

Miners Leader in Hospital
With GunShot Wound-The
Judges Son Beaten Insensi-
BILE by Strikers.
FEDERAL TROOPS ARRIVE;
ESTABLISH MARTIAL LAW.
Residents Side With Miners
Against Federal Troops
Attempt Made to Dynamite
Electric Supply Line.

Goldfield, New, Dec. federal
troops arrived today and the town is
under martial law. Residents SYM
pathize with the miners and showed
their displeasure by closing all stores,
drawing blinds and ignoring the pres
ence Of the troops.
Lawlessness has already begun.
President Mckinnen of the local min
ers' union is in the hospital suffering
from a gunshot wound received in a
dispute with another labor leader.
Herbert Belford. son of Judge Belford,
was set upon by a gang of strikers.
He was beaten and left for dead in an
alley where he was later found un-
conscious. He was accused of "scab-
bing' at Cripple Creek. An attempt
was made to wreck the electric power
line which furnishes Goldfield with
light and power. The dynamite used
was frozen and refused to explode.
Sheriff Ingalls,, who said the COVER
nor went over his head in requesting
troops, left town, leaving Goldfield at
the mercy of striking miners until the
troops arrived.
Governor Sparks is on his way to
Reno to meet Colonel Reynolds and
command. enroute to Goldfie!d
Excited groups of miners are assem-
bled here and there, auDarently plot
ting for the storm which is expected
TO break. Leaders and officials of the
Western Federation of Miners are
pleading with the men to avert dot
ing and possible bloodshed when the
troops arrive.
Feeling against Governor Sparks
and President Roosevelt is growing
more bitter every moment. That the
trouble between the miners and oper-
ators. which started over the payment
of wages, justified the sending of SOL
diers is emphatically denied by the
labor leaders. Governor Sparks is the
target of the bitterest criticism be-
cause, the miners say. he has over
drawn conditions in his letter to
Roosevelt, which was made public to-
day.
In this letter the governor pict'r-
ed Golfield as a hotbeG of conspiracy
and prayed for immediate relief. The
dramatic assassination of Governor
Steunenberg. the miners declare, is
being held up TO the resident as a
warning and the men nave been goad-

NOT THOROUGHLY TRIED.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-The University of

for the five-game rule in football and

January.
He received a letter from President
Harry Pratt Juduson yesterday, in
forming him that the faculty does not
wish the reform rules changed at this
time, as they have not been given a
thorough trial.

Successful "Trip 70 Chicago III Behalf
OF Ncwbcrry Collcgc~-Probably
Some Good News.

President j. a. b. Schcrcr, Of New
berry college, returned Mond;ty night
from II business trip, in connection
with the college, from Chicago.
DR.. Schercr talks worry encouraging
ly of his trip, and feels assured that
it wil, result in much material bcnc-
fiji to the college. While in Chicago
he had very pleasant interview with
DIR. PcarSons, who, some months a..o,
made II very Liberal gift to the instiru-
ton. There is no doubt that from the
way in which DR.. 'Schorer speaks of
his trip, tnat he will have some good
news to give out before very long, in
reference TO the college,
During his administ ration as Dresi-
dent, the material prosperity Of thc
college has been very marked. 1t will
be recalled that Mr.. Andrew Carnegie
made u very liberal offering in addi-
tion to Ahc one, which has been men
toned by DR.. PoaSons, and in order
TO secure these two gifts, The friends
OF the college in Ncwberry and in
South Carolina also raised Il very
handsome sum, and did so in very
short time in order to comply with
the conditions of the gifts Of Mr.
NArnSGic and DR.. Pcursons. This
liberal response to the call Of New
berry college on the part of the peo-
pie Of this community MS weE as the
people of the state, is the strongest
evidence of the estimation in which
the institution is held and Of how it
is appreciated by the people in whose
midst il is working.
Not only has the college proSpcrcd
in material things, but. as has been
stated Frequently. the attendance ha,
very greatly increased and the en-,
r"llmcnL this year is over two hun.
drcd and fifty. This is thr lnrwr>i
enrolment in ihc fifty years history
nf the institution. The Alumni roll
of the college now numbers nearly
four hundred. Hnd while il is not ~
large as thai "f Il great many inSiiIll-
tlnnS. still il r"mp"Scs Il representa-
tive body, and the Young men and
Young wnmrn, who h;lvt gone out
from Ncwbcrry, arc scattered
throughout South Carolina, and are
engaged in the various callins and pro-
fcsSi"ns and have measured up well
with the grad,,atc cS of other inStitll-
tions. They will be found as law
ycrS, doctors, preachers, farmers, con-
greSSmcn and editors, and Il few Of
thom have found their way into the
South Carolina legislature.
The good news. which DR.. Srhcrer
brings rs Il result Of his trip to Chira-
go. will br gratifying 40 the Alu..mi
rs we'll a> /" the many friends Of the

ASKS MONEY FOR TXrE ,,0UTIL.
Government Asked to Place $4,000,
600 on Deposit Hcrc-Rcprcscn-
tative Burleson, of Texas,
Confers with Secretary
Cortelyou.

Washington, October 3O.-Repres-
cntative Burlcson, of Texas, was clos
eted for an hour today with Secretary
Of the Treasury CortclyM,. In that
conference every phase Of tho finan-
cial situation in the south was dis
cusscd, and Mr.. Burlcson again press
ed his request That the treasury place
on deposit in tho banks of the cotton
country $l0,000,000 to ease the situa-
ton.
When seen upon leaving the treas
ury Mr.. Burlcson declined to make a
statement further than to admit that
he had discussed the situation at
length with Cortclyou, and that he
might have Somcthin" interesting to
say regarding the matter during the
next few days.
A resolution, inquring by what au-
thorlty Secretary Cortclyou went to
the aid Of the Eastern banks with the
Government 5 money, and whether it
is advisable that such policy be pur-
sued in The future, will be introduced
IN congress by Representative Simms,
OF Tennessee, rs soon as congress
meets. Mr.. Simms is one Of tho
Southcrncrs upon whom Mr.. Cortel-
You 5 actions have made an unravor-
able impression. FIe cannot SEQ that
there is authority for aiding tho
banks OF the east and failing to help
those Of the south.
There is Il growing impression here
that Senator TiIIman will act similar

investigation of corporations con
trihntionS to national election funds,

You that hr disclose such Informal
tion as might be in his possession
The resolutions were killed by the Re
puhlirams Of the senate. but the in
formation which Senator Tillman So

gave him considerable familiarity

Hon. A. A.

 There was an enormous mass Of laeople in Memphis" declared Colonel Wiley last evening. Tt was estimated there were 100000 visitors to the city, and 5000 people were in the audito- rum when President Roosevelt spoke. It rained that day, but the wet weath- CT did not seem to dampen the enthu- siasm of the people at all.

advocate of Governor Conner and Of prominence in that as in other poiiti- cal campaigns, Ns said to, have been presented. by means of tet- ter. to the attention of the Governor already, so that when the Executive returns tomorrow he will probably ind the name of Mr. Henderson offered for his consideration in the matter of the shrievalty of Montgomery County MT. Henderson has great many frienoss tried and true, and his record In poll ties and in private business is such as to make him a strong and popular can- didate.
 Talk upon the street. however. was not and is not necessarily truly indi- cative of the probability in the matter. The issue Is not to be decided by pop ular election and what intention the Governor has is not apparent He may go beyond the lists of those who were conspicuous in their support of him.
 Of the many other possible aspirants to the position most. if not all are competent to discharge the duties or the ofice and the result may not be certainly foretold.
