Street Railway Franchise.

The Sioux Falls people have their
bill under way for the extension OF
the life of a street railway franchise
from twenty to thirty years. On this
law they pin their hopes OF securing an
electric system for their city, and an
end to their unsuccessful attempts in
that direction. They have a strong
and all are hopeful that they will soon
secure what they want.
The fee bill for the office of the sec
rotary of state which was introduced
by Forecannon is in line with the rec
concentrations of Secretary Wiuf in his
annual report. The fees for fling arti-
cles of incorporation, for domestic COR
porations; or for examination and fil-
ing articles for foreign corporations
range from $40 to $4,000. and under
to SIS for corporations with a capital
of from $4,000 to 100000, with an
additional 81 for each hundred thou
sand over the last named amount All
fees generally for the department are
increased. At the rate in which COR
porations are being filed under the
laws will bring a decided increase in
the revenues.
The law department Of the state ami
versity has been hampered in its work
for lack of the necessary state laws
in its library, and while the state is
ready to supply the lack, there has
never been any legal provisions to meet
the requirement To cover this q Sc
ries of bills have been introduced to
supply the codes and laws of past ses-
sions, and laws of future sessions and
supreme court reports.

But Shall the Tail Wag the Dog?

It has been a sort of custom
for the democratic State officers
to have two terms of four years
each-the Governor being limited
to one by the constitution. All
the present State officials except
Supt. Joyner have had two terms
and all of them, with the posi-
BILE exception of Attorney General
Gilmer, are candidates for a third
term. On this point the Raleigh
correspondent of the Industrial
News says:
The opinion is being expressed
in official circles here that the
third term" doctrine will not
cut much figure when it comes to
the nominations in the Demo-
cratic convention.
1t is not surprising that this
opinion is expressed in "oficial
circles" inasmuch as "oficial
circles" have an ~"intrust'' in the
case. The wish that the third
term may not cut much ice is
doubtless father to the thought.

DEAD AT AGE OF l27.
Adam Frost, Perhaps the Oldest Man In
the United States.

spartanburg. S. c., May 49,
Adam Frost, colored, is dead at
his home neal Cedar Springs,
this county, at the advanced age
of 127 years. He was perhaps
the oldest man in the United
States.
Frost was born on Sullivan's
Island, off Charleston, in the
year 1880. He was first owned by
the Drayton family, of Charles
ton, and was sold to the Frost
family, in whose possession he re.
NAMED until after the war. The
old negro came to this county
during the civil wal with the
Frost family, who refugeed to
this county and located at Cedar
Springs. At the close of the wal
the Frosts returned to Charleston,
but old Adam liked this country
SO we'll that he decided to remain
here.
Adam Frost died on the place
of M, B. Smith, a well-known citi-
zen of the Cedar Springs section,
on whose farm the old negro had
lived for 20 years. Mr.. Smith
said he first saw Frost 40 years
ago and he was a very old man
then, too old to perform hard
work on the farm.
Adam often spoke of his mas
tiers, Colonel Drayton and old DR..
Frost, Of Charleston, aud de-
lighted in talking about his boy
hood days in Charleston. Several
months before his death a num-
Der of people of thia city visited
the old darkey and he entertained
them by telling stories of the
early days of Charleston, when
Indians used to come into the
city from the back country and
shoot at targets. He said he re-
membered when British war ves-
sells used to come into the Charles.

They GOT HIM..
Was Unable to Escape Vengeance
of the Black Hand.

Driven from his home IN New
ark by fear of the vengeance of
the "black hand," Vincenzy Buff
fardo escaped to his old home i'll
Italy only to meet there death in
the very form it had been threat
ened here. Word of his death
has been received here by friends.
Buffardo came to America sew
eral years ago and amassed COLI
siderable fortune by conducting
a bakery in Brooklyn. Suddenly
without giving any reason he dis
appeared from Brooklyn with his
wife and later appeared here and
soon built up a thriving bakery
business.
In February he received a let
ter from the "black hand" de-
handing $4,000 on pain of death.
He turned the letter over TO the
police. A week later he received
an even more threatening letter.
A third letter followed soon after
and several attempts were made
to hold him up on the street, but
he always escaped. When the
fourth letter arrived, however,
Buffardo became thoroughly ter
rorlzed. He sold out his bust
ness and with all the money he
could raise he went to New York
and sailed for his old home Just

After efforts extending over a year,
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Babbitt has gathered and had bound
in one volume all the annual and BIZ
ennial reports Of the various heads OF
his department from the organization
of the department until 1894. The re-
ports from 1894 to the present are
bound in a separate volume. 1T is the
uments in existence. Even the Terri
torial Archives has not complete col
lection. Mr.. Babbitt has not in all
cases been able to secure printed
copies of these reports for his collec.
tion. as in a number of instances there
is only one copy known to be in exist
ence. In these cases he has had tho
report typewriter so as to complete
the collection. The Archives furnished
him the material from which to copy
in one or two cases. while in other
cases he had to go to other sources.
These reports contain much that Is
of exceeding interest. AS an instance
OF this it is shown that In 1847 tho
schools Of the kingdom contained over
six hundred teachers, and over $4,000
pupils. On the Island OF Lanai there
were in that year five teachers EN-.
ployed.
Superintendent Bahbitt is now
studying these reports as the basis OF
history of the school system of
Hawaii.
