The American navy is going to be
overhaulsd because it deserves to be.
The putting down and defaming of
ons honest man, Governor Lilley, will
not cave It's pelt or the pelt of the
graftsrs In whose interest he was sup
pressed and maligned.
what he said against the navy still
lives; and 1t will not down, but
hsNnts the men who are responsible
for the worthless navy yards and the
political graft which robs the country
Of hundreds Of thousands every year.
Admiral Bob Evans once remarked
that he would rather light a battle
than take his ship into the Charleston
navy yard. That looks as If it was
a good yard to abandon, and there is
nothing the matter with the authority
for the statement
What tina New York Sun has said
alenW thu Hnea OF endeavor taken up
BY Congressman Ldllsy is familiar to
ths readers Of The Bulletin. Read
what the Milwaukee CWis.) journal
has % say Of our navy yards:
Hundreds OF thousands are annually
spent on yards which are practically
useless. Senatorial influence causes
appropriations TO be made for Charles
ton, Portsmouth, San Francisco and
other 1laces which ought to be aband-
oned and proper sites for naval bases
substituted.
"0u thu Atlantic seaboard there are
bHt two bases suitable for the modern
nsAn-of-war, namely, the yards at
Norfolk ana at New York. On the
Pacific coast there are the yards at
Brsmerton, near Seattle. 1t Is 1mpos-
sihls for the UP to date battleship to
be dccked at the other yards. It is
very dangerous for the heavy drRught
vessels even to try to navigate their
channels. And yet members of the
naval committees continue to favor and
ssoare appropriations for obsolete sites
aAd useless docking places.

Mayor Lees Idea.

Mayor Lees idea that a tax rate Of
fifteen and five tenths mills would be
a good thing if it could be assured as
the rate for a number Of years has
merit, the merit of certainty and the
assurance against an increase in the
near future. Then preparation to
meet it could be made with confidence
and city expenses would have to be
apportioned to come within that limit.
In running the finances of the city It
would be well to have a fixed stand
ard to go by. and the rate of taxation
for last year would be a good one to
try. There would be no objection to
making 1t lower if at any time It could
be done.-Bridgepor Standard

FIRST CRIMINAL
 CASE IS TAKEN UP

Columbia. S. C., September A.-The first of the criminal cases growing out of the late investigation into the state dispen- sary system was taken in the state court when the trial of James N. Farnum of Charleston. a former liquor dealer and brewer. was started. The charge upon which Farnum was indicted was alleged bribery of a member of the state dis pensary board.
 This is only one of the several cases against F'arnum and there are nine other persons under indictment for bribery ard conspiracy to defraud the state, includ- ing five former dispensary officials.
 The defense moved to quash two of the three counts on the ground that the indictment charges bribery under the common law which 1t was alleged was superseded by the statute. Judge Mem minger overruled the motion. The de- fense then presented formal and lenghty demurrer to the indictment on similar grounds. This was argued for the de- fense by Ernest F. Cochran, United States district attorney and for the state by B. L. Abney of Columbia and w. F. Stevenson of Cheraw. who are as- sisting Attorney General Lyon
 For three years or more the attorney general has been gathering evidence for these prosecutions and great interest In the trials is manifested throughout the state,

STORM IS HEADED
 FOR OHIO VALLEY

Louisville September 21.-The hurricane which late yesterday whipped its way through the Gulf of Mexico northward, doing great property damage and causing some loss of life, was central at o'clock this morning at Corinth, Miss, and rap idly speeding toward the Ohio valley and the Great Lakes, according to advices to the weather bureau here. At Corinth the barometer registered 2S94, which is very low, causing winds ranging in velocity from 40 to 4S miles per hour with an ac- compartment of heavy rains. The prog ress of the storm Is easily apparent when Il Is known that the hurricane which was in full force at New Orleans at o'clock last night is 12 hours later central at Corinth, Miss, Just a few miles from the Tennessee line
 The disturbance is now thoroughly in- land, and this morning shows no diminu- tion in force. District Forecaster Waltz says the storm is headed directly for the Ohio valley and that 1t shows no indica- tions of increasing in energy. The storm was felt at Nashville, Tenn, at 9:3O this morning.
