James II. Myers, 40S Exchange
Bldg, Denver, mining man of long
experience. for the photo from which
the picture is made, and relative to
the subject Mr.. Myers says:
"The only way to conserve water
for irrigation is to get 1t into reser-
voirs as soon as possible after 1t COM
mences to flow. The trees do not mold
the snow after warm weather, but the
gorges of the mountains above timber
line do. The Forest Rangers claim
that they cut and sell to sawmill men
only matured trees, when In point OF
fact 1t Is well known and can be read

only timber left after such a cutting

Pinchot's own reports, is in the hands
of visionary theorists without prac-

are simply tax-gatherers on horse

The Democratic party denounces
arbitrary interference with labor
trusts by injunctions without hearing
or trial by jury. Every organized
labor man should vote the Democratic
ticket, as Samuel Gompers and other
great leaders are doing. There is an
easy way to put stop to these in

Nothing had been earned at the
Venezuelan legation concerning the

tries.
Some interest was attached to the
fact of the ordering the Marietta

instructions were given for the re-
turn of the vessel to Venezuela. The
reason given was that there was no
further use of the gunboat to ploy

Saturday afternoon were taken out
by Wayne county officers for the
purpose Of carrying them to Jesup
for safe keeping. Suddenly rnslt
was made and a dozen hands clasp

road track and 100 persons pounced
upon them, others still holding the
guards. Through the wire fence Of
the railroad the mob showed the ne
groes and then started at run
across College Hill For nearly half
a mile they continued to the first
oak tree in the old Cherokee nursery.
Here an attempt was made to break
the handouts which held the negroes
together, but without avail. No ONE
mad rope but heavy trace chain

Some one mounted the tree and from
the first limb caught the end of the
chain. tying it around the limb, while

around the tree. The mob stepping
back about 10 PAGES opened ire
upon the men, hundreds Of shots be-.
ing fired into the. bodies. Many tried
to prevent the killing of the negro
who was clasping the tree, there be-

GOVERNOR ANsEL TO ATTENI
CEREMONY OF LAUNCHING.
on the --latest Designs
For War Vessels and Has No Supe-.
rior in the American Navy.


A special dispatch from Columbia
to The News and Courier says:
When the next battleship of Uncle
Sans navy is launched it will be
chrislened South Carolina" by Miss
FIederica :Ansel, daughter of the
governor of this state. The launch
ing Of thet ship will take place ON
the 18th Of July at the Cramps ship
yard, Philadelphia.
Governor Ansel has sent out let
ters to his staff askin gthem to ac-
company him to the launching, and
he stated recently that his daughter
would ,christen the ship. The cere-
monies are in charge of the builders
of the ship, who have requested Gov.
Ansel 70 bring his part yand parti-
cipate in the launching, the ceremon-
les of; which are simple.
After the launching the party will
be entertained at luncheon by the
contractors, when two or three short
SpeecheS are to be made.
The United States battleship South
Carolina is one of the battleships au-
thorized by congress in the naval
appropriation act of March, 81,
1905, her sister ship being the Mich
igan, which was launched a few
weeks ago at the New York Ship
Building company's dock. The
South Carolina is being built by the
Cramp Steamship company, of Phila-
delphia. The contract for her con-
struction was signed on July 21,
1906. Fler keel was laid December
IS. and she will be finally complet-
ed and turned over to the United
States gD,, rnment on December p,
1919. The contract price, exclusive
of armor and armament, was So
$40, 900. She will have cost the gov
ernment when completed about S7;-
100000.
The South Carolina will have a
displacement of 10000 tons; a speed
of 1875 knots; coal supply, 1920
tons; armor belt, II inches: case
men side armor, 10 to s inches:
barbettes and turrets, 10 to II
inches. Armament. eight 45-calibre
12-inch guns. twenty-five 9-inch
guns. Torpedo tubes. two submerg-
ed 21-inch. Her length between
perpen1icu ars. 450 feet; br ;ldtn o.
load water line, so feet; mean draft,
"a feet 6 inches; full load displace-
ment, 1860 tons; horse power, IL
uIc. Her total complement, includ-
ing officers and crew, will be about
500 men.
The battleship South Carolina is
of particular interest, because she
is one of the first of our battleships
designed after the conclusion of the
Russo-Iapanese war, and her design
ers have embodied in her construc-
ton the experience gathered during
the naval cDcrations of that conflict.
The South Carolina and her sister
shin, the Michigan, viii be the two
finest ships in the United States navy
until the Delaware, now in course
of construction, is launched and put
irto commission.

:
Victims Chatted.

In order to rob H. E. Beagle and
Louis Schaefer, burglar entered a
house in Seattle, WASH, early one
afternoon and crawled under the bed.
After cramping himself for about
ten hours the men came to bed at
midnight. Their first act was to
move the bed ten feet across the
room and the robber had to roll with
it. Then the men began to chat and
kept this up for three hours while
the would-be robber was nearly smo-
thering from the heat and was sore
from his hard resting place.
Finally in desperation he crawled
from the under position and demand
ed gold and $3.50 diamond which
he knew belonged to Beagle. He got
a watch and chain worth S25, but
that was all. The man made his
escape.

OLD NOTE CAUSED ANXIETY.
Wife Of Merchant Discovers Note In
ta,dod g,r IJ;. <,lo,,,

An incident containing many vafie-
ties Of emotion occurred at Rock
Hill Thursday. Happily all ended
we'll. Saerai physicians were called
to the bedside Of a lady living in
the western suburbs who was in dire
condition, weak from hysterical emo
ton because her husband had left
town without saying anything to her
about it. Nor did he return during
the night and by morning the good
lady was prostrated. Thereby hangs
a tale. The good wife knowing this
had seemingly good reasons for the
collapse. 1t seems that she and her
husband, who runs store in one of
the mill districts, had some time in
the past discussed the action Of some
man who finding his business in bad
shape had become desperate and COM
mitted suicide. To one friend the
merchant had said that should he
ever find himself in such shape he
would not think Of committing suici-
de but would simple pick up and
cut out for parts unknown. When
he failed to come home and was not
found at his store his wife imme-
diately thought of that conversation
and was sure that her husband had
got into business difficulties and had
deserted her. This belief was brought
to climax when-a note was fUlAh
in tn esafe saying that he had left
town and didn't know he would be
back. In the midst Of terrible
morning for the Frustrated wife the
train from Yorkville came in and on
it the missing husband, who had
suddenly jumped the train yesterday
and run over to neighboring town
on some business. The note found
was one he had written to his clerk
Hast fall some time when he was
starting to the jamestown exposition
and it had lain un-noticed in tho
safe until this most in-opportune
time before being found. 1t is un-
necessary to say that more care will
be expected in the future.
