DIRECTORS TALK
AUTO EXCURSIONS
COMMERCIAL CLUB MEMBERS
TAKE STEPS TO MAKE NUN
Der OF COUNTRY TRIPS.

AT the meeting of the directors OF
the Commercial club this morning, the
matter of the auto excursion through
the country to the neighboring towns
was discussed and was given much
favorable comment. 1t is likely tina,
cursions. witt be made in the near flu
4ure. The final disposition OF the mat
ter WIS, however. placed in the hands
of a committee of the club, which
consists of Oscar Drumhelfer. G. W
Whitehouse and w w. Baker. all of
whom are practical motorists.
At first it was planned that the ex-
0ursion would run from here to Pres
colt, StaTbucll POmeroy. Dayton anc
Waitshurg,, but it is thought that this
will be too much for one day so the
tip vii. be. divided.
Prescott, Dayton and Waitsbu"g
viii be tie first places visited. in al!
probability Later the other places viii
be visited. Then q trip to Pendleton.
Athena, Weston, Milton and Freewater
is contemplated. Still another itinerary
may include Touchet, Wallula, Pasco
and kenneWick.
These auto excursions would consist
OF business men of the city and it is
thought that there would be about. 90
or IS machines that could be secured
for trips. This would give more tnan
100 members of the Commercial! club
au opportunity t. go out and make &C
ouaintances through the country, of
which Walla WaiIa is the natural cen
+. ter business would be stimulated by
-ttr move and, better AMI more friend
Is relations Woui be sure to result.
The Commercial club also took up
The PROPOSITION of al excursion on the
special train to Seattle when the fleet
arrives in that place aald it is probable
that many members of the local com
lncrcial body will go to the Queen city
At that time. S Il. Calderhead brought
gfhC matter before the Commercial club
and it was very favorably received.

AS TO SCHOOL HOUSES.

IN the little town of Collinwood, o.,
last week 165 children lost their lives
in a school house. Fire broke out at
the bottom of the principal stairway,
and escape was cut off. A back door,
it seems, was closed. The front door
opened inward and the poor little chill
dren massed against it and were suffo-
Gated, trampled and burned. Several
teachers also lost their lives.
A similar accident might occur in
Greenwood, Laurens or Clinton. At an
amateur performance in the village of
B~oyertown. Pa, nearly 200 persons
wero burned to death last year.
A competent architect should be en-
played to inspect all the school houses
of more than n story in Laurens, and
to report whether or not the doors are
properly hung, the ways out sufficient
and the fire escapes provided, as they
should be.
While it may not be practicable to
tear down school houses wrongly con-
structed, many of them can be i'm
proved SO that in case of fire some acct
dents would be avoided.
Moreover, trustees of schools should
see that in every school the fire drill''
is regularly practiced.

Spartanburg, March A. The funeral.

the man and the cityiih which he lived.
Lapfens, Greenvilie, Union q, Green,
wood. Gaffney and other places were
represented. There were from forty to
fifty ministers of the Gospel in. attend
ance. The students OF Wofford. attend
led in a body. Many citizens of the
county attended, for he was well known,
especially by the older people. A great
abundance of flowers were sent in by
friends. The afternoon was favorable
and a large audience attended and a
long procession followed the hearse to
the cemetery
DIR. M. l.. Carlisle conducted the SER
vice. Several of the ministers present
took part in the prayer and reading Of
the Scriptures.
DR.. j. G. Kilgo, president of Trinity
College, North Carolina, by request,
made the leading address. He stated
that the isolemnity of the occasion, the
sorrow caused by the passing of Bishop
Duncan and the strong personal attach
ment he had for him would hinder
somewhat a clear, discriminating sketch
of his life and the nobility of his char
acter. In an expressive M he
touched on some of the salient points
of his characterize circuit rider, pro-
fessor in Wofford and overseer, of the
church. His genuine manhood, keen
insight, his ability to command were
united with a sense of justice, gentle
ness and Kindness. He was untiring in
labors, always ready to do the work set
before him, and in deeds of kindness
and charity he abounded. He was rec
ognized as a great man., a great leader,
a greatpreacher, a great commander in
any assembly where he appeared. He
felt that he was called for special work,
and he did it with all his might.
He was followed in a short address
by Bishop Gambler, of Georgia. He
dwelt more on his ability as a Bishop,
giving several instances illustrating his
remarkable tact in difficult matters. and
his careful examination of all questions
submitted and his fearless action when
his mind was made up. He also paid a
high tribute to his gentleness and kind
ness in his WI home and in the homes
he visited. He made friends from
Maryland to the Pacific, and never con-
sidered any labor too arduous if the
cause of the church demanded it. A
good man, a great preacher, a fine pre-
siding officer has been lost to the
church.

Stock Gambling Transactions.

Washington, March 3.-With the OBJ
ject of ascertaining if possible the ex-
tent of stock gambling transactions,
Mr.. Tillman, of South Carolina, offered
in the Senate today a resolution calling
on the Comptroller of the Currency for
a detailed statement of the loans made
by the national banks in New York CITY
for the six months ended December |
last that were based on stock collateral,
together with a list of the stocks so
pledged, and whether such loans were
passed upon by the boards of directors
of the banks.
In explanation of his resolution Mr..
Tillman said that "stock gambling was
recognized as the most pernicious, dan
gerous and devilish of all the PERM
cious, dangerous and devilish things
done in New York" He referred to
the bill introduced yesterday by Repre-
sentative Hepburn to place a prohibit
i've tax on such transactions, and Mr..
Tillman was sure that something should
be done in that line.
Senator Aldrich asked why he con-
fined his inquiry to New York City
alone. There were dealings in stocks
in other parts of the country.
Because" Mr.. Tillman snapped out,
THAT is the head center of all the
gambling"
Mr.. Aldrich suggested that the reso-
luton be extended to all such transac-
lions, and Mr.. Tiilman acquiesced, af-
ter stating that he thought the labor
required would take too long. He
would take any other typical city that
Mr.. Aldrich would name. Mr.. Aldrich
then objected to present consideration
of the resolution, and it went over.-N.

HEALTH AMONG SOLDIERS.

The wonderful progress of the Japa-
nese is Illustrated by their mastery of
medicine, surgery and sanitation. In
their army establishment they seem to
have surpassed all other nations in life
saving. The following is taken from a
speech of Representative Humphreys,
of Mississippi, delivered in Congress a
few days ago:
"On the first of May, 1905, the Japa-
nese had lost in killed during the war to
that date DIG, 1892 men. Suppose her
death rate from disease had borne the
same ratio to her killed as England's
had in the Boer War-that is, seven to
one. Her deaths then would have
reached the appalling figure of 3O7, O44.
To whom, then, shall we give the glory
of the victory at Metre Hill and Muk-
den? To the general'who commanded,
or to the surgeon who had preserved
from death the men who composed this
mighty army of 253, 152 fighting men
who, but for the skill, but for the mas
terful administration of a matehless
hospital system, would have been Sleep
ing upon that silent field
Where glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead"
We hope that the United States will
never have a war with the Japanese,
but the point is clear hat the United
States would be wise to turn its serious
attention to improving the health of its
soldiers. In the war with Spain we
lost many more men by disease than by
bullets. Besides, sickness in the army
piles up the pension outlay.

Of hamberlaih's Cough Remedy, but

ruary 3rd our baby was taken sick with
a very severe cold, .the next, day was
worse and the following night his con-

down and it was necessary to have him
in the arms every moment. Even then
his, breathing, was difficult. l did not

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which
we gave, and it afforded prompt relief,

AnseI's Special Message.

Gov. Ansel has taken a hand in the
controversy between the State authori-
ties and Judge, Pritchard,of the federal
court. Last" night he. sent a special
message to the General Assembly, urg-
ing that action be. taken to protect
State sovereignty.
Following is his special message:
To the Honorable the Senate and House
of Representatives of South Carolina:
Owing to the fact that the funds of
the State of South Carolina, which are
now in the hands of the commission to
wind up the State ~dispensary, are
sought to be taken from their hands
and to be administered blythe United
States court without the consent of
your honorable bodies, the only depart
ment of the State government which
has the right to give consent that the
State be sued;
And as the autonomy of the State
must be maintained, and the right to
administer her funds by her own agents
preserved; and feeling that you realize
the great principle of State sovereignty
and the rights of q State under the.
constitution of the United States,
l respectfully recommend such legis-
~lation, at this session of the Legisla-
ture, as will protect the interests of
the State and obviate the necessity for
further action on your part.
Respectfully,
M. F. ANSEL, Governor.

WILL BE KNOWN AS "SENATOR.n

The Hon. Frank B. Gary, a member
of the House of Representatives from
Abbeville, was elected to fill the un-
expired term of Senator Latimer last
week. He has the reputation of being
a very fair average lawyer, and there
is nothing against him as a gentleman
of upright character and decent living.
He is a better man than are some of
the gentlemen who were voted for. We
would have supported Mr.. Coker or Col.
Mauldin, but with them excepted we
think Mr.. Gary IS as good as any other
of the candidates who were announced.
The Legislature appears to have
taken the position that the prize was
one to be given to a member Of the
Legislature who would promise not to
run for the long term. Senator Tillman
ten days ago ridiculed this position, and
the election of Mr.. Gary is therefore
another slap in the Senator's face. We
think the Senator was right. Senator
Gary will have practically no oppor-
tunity to accomplish anything. He will
be allowed to make a little speech or
two and to get a few little jobs for his
constituents possibly to work through
an appropriation for a court house. He
will draw the salary, have a fine old
time and be known hereafter as "Sena-
tor Gary" He was formerly a clerk
in the House of Representatives, was
afterwards speaker, has served as spe-
cial judge and has run for governor
and lieutenant governor without being
elected. He has TINS been constantly,
almost, in active politics since he was a
very young man.
On the whole, as politics go in South
Carolina now, and as distinguished
ability and merit are not counted in the
selection of o~fficeholders as they were
at one time, Mr.. Gary is.a fairly lucky
choice for the State. because he is a
decent, Woodworking man who pays
his debts and bears a good name in his
community. Things have reached such
"a point in this State that we breathe
easy when a drunkard or a CRATER is
not elevated to high position.
The objection that too many of the
Gary family are given Office is, to u
mind, absurd. If we had a dozen broth
ers of pronounced ability and character
willing to accept Office, and they were
the best men offering, they ought to be
elected. Il man should no more be held
responsible for his kinfolk who / able
and strong and good than for those
who are tramps and rapscallions.
But, of course, the Legislature
