SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

Columbia State, February 5: Sen
ator Niels Christensen, Jr., received a
message last night that his father died
in Beaufort. Mr.. Christensen, Sr., had
been i'll for some time and his son was
at his bedside whenever he could
leave his duties in the senate to be in
Beaufort. Senator Christensen will
leave this morning for Beaufort to at
tend the funeral Of his father. The
deceased was 60 years of age. He
was a merchant in Beaufort and was
we'll known in the lower part of the
state.
- Columbia special of February 2, to

Nearly four hours were devoted by
the senate in executive session last
Wednesday to the consideration OF the
reappointment Of William D. Crum as
inspector Of customs at Charleston. ).
C. Confirmation Is opposed by Senator
Tillman, aided by his Democratic COL
leagues. The Republican senators are
united in favor Of confirming Crum In
order that Mr.. Taft may be relieved OF
the necessity of sending a nomination
to the senate, which has been opposed
during the present administration. The
debate in the senate, according
to the reports which leaked out after
wards, resembled an old time minstrel
sy: Senators Tillman, McLaurin,
Money and Johnson told negro dialect
stories and kept the senate in laugh
ter throughout the proceedings. Moth
ing but the best of humor was dis
played. Senator Tillman recounted a
number of incidents connected with
his various controversies with Presl-
dent Roosevelt. An article was read py
Mr.. Tillman, which had been written
by a South Carolina editor criticising
Senator Tillman for his exhibiting OF
himself for gate receipts" This same
article dealt with the negro question
and with the Crum appointment In
particular, declaring that the appoint
ment had been bad policy. Senator
Tillman said there was no love lost
between himself and the editor, but
that the latter had the correct idea OF
the Crum appointment. At the outset
Senator Bacon moved that the doors
be reopened and the consideration OF
the Crum nomination be continued IN
legislative session. He declared that
the subjects involved in this appoint
ment were too important to be dispos-
ed of in secret and that the country
should be informed of the debate. HIS
motion was put to a vote and defeated
ON strictly party lines. The reading of
an article written by Mr.. Taft, declar-
ing that the south should not be treat
ed as a conquered country, was begun
by Mr.. Tillman, but the debate led off
into other channels before he had an
opportunity to conclude. Speeches
were made by Senators Carter and
Beveridge, commenting upon the pros
perity of the south and giving the
credit to Republican rule. Senators
Tillman and McLaurin combatted the
proposition that Republican rule mad
anything to do with it, and asserted
that it was white supremacy in the
south which had accomplished practi-
cally all of its progress. 1t is expected
the fight will be resumed at the next
executive session.

Always Bear In Mind

The fact that Fire Insurance pro-
lection is something that you cannot
buy Just when needed, but must be
bought when there Is no special reason
for supposing that 1t will be needed.
The observation Of all intelligent peo-
pie teaches that more property is de-
stroyed by fire during January, Feb
ruary and March than in any other
months Of the year, Notwithstanding
the fact that the other months usually
furnish their full quota Your prop
erty may never burn, and 1t Is to be
hoped that 1t will not. If 1t does not
burn and you do not pay out anything
for protection you have saved just
that much, but If it does burn and you
have paid out nothing for protection,
why then the company that might
have had the risk has saved from a
half to three-fourths YOUR loss. II
you think you are more able to carry
the risk than one of my time tried and
fire tested companies I have no fault
to find, but If you desire to shift the
risk to people who are in the business
I shall be pleased to advise with you as
to what the cost will be. Call, write
or telephone.
