Of the sky over them as there we're inside.
jefferson square was filled both nights
and many other open spaces were filled
with men and children, and, In some cases,
women well, who found the grass and
the open air more agreeable than any in
side room.
In addition to those who slept in the
parks there were hundreds who slept on the
flat housetops and on porches and In
some cases, even on sidewalks in front
Of residences which were too hot inside
to be endured.
The police were lenient and in many
cases tramps with no home slept undis-
turbed the sidewalks when on more
comfortable nights they would have been
locked up as Vagrants.

Receiver for Halle Gold Mine.

Lancaster, Special.-An applica-
tion was made before Judge Klugh
at Chester Tuesday for the appoint
ment of receivers for the Halle Gold
Mining Company. the application be-
ing made by Harry S. Seeley. of New
York, as trustee for the bondholders.
the bonded indebtedness amounting
to $224,000, principal and interest.
The trustee was represented at the
hearing by Judge Ernest Moore. of
the Lancaster Bar. and the law firm
of Sutro G. Wright, of New York
City.
Judge Klugh granted an order ap-
pointing Chas. D. Jones, of Ian
caster, and L. w. Amerman. of
Bayon, N. j., as receivers of the
property.
The order directs that the receivers
operate the property at once, so that
work at the mine, which has been
suspended since the fearful disaster
tlSre last year, will be resumed with
out delay. The high character and
splendid business abilities of the re-
ceivers named insures the speedy re-
storation of this valuable mining
property to its former profitable and
paying basis.

wards reducing raw materials with
out corresponding reductions in the
duties on manufactured articles. as
IN the case of free hides and boots
and shoees.
That the countervailing duty, of
petroleum is still retained in the
new measure, as it exists in the Ding
ley bill.
That tea is taxed and beer allowed
to escape without additional taxation.
The storm of opposition to the bill
has already broken in the House,
and. though the Senate will have no
opportunity to consider the measure
for possibly month. there are al
ready signs indicating that when that
body finishes with it. its best friends
will not be able to recognize it.
Aldrich Opposes Bill.
Senator Aldrich objects to the bill
because he does not like the maxi
mum and minimum features, the in
herltance tax, and other equally un-
satisfactory parts of it. He especial
~ opposes the inheritance tax clause
because in his opinion, it would con-
fict with any of the State laws bear
Ing on the same point. He is also
strongly opposed to tax on tea and
coffee.
Senator Aldrich' s opposition came
as surprise to his colleagues in the
Senate and to President Taft. It is
practically certain that the Senate
finance committee will figure very
largely in shaping up the measure
when the Senate gets hold of it. and
as Senator Aldrich is the chairman
of this committee what he says with
respect to his opposition is taken to
mean that there must be a consider
able amount of rebuilding before the
Senate will agree to pass it.
The outlook is for hard fight in
the House. especially from Southern
representatives, and an equally hard
| fight in the Senate from those men,
bers who think the bill. as it now
stands, would not be acceptable to
the people of the country generally.

Attempt to Kill Policeman.

Greenville, Speculative shots
from a revolver in the hands of a
man who kept himself hidden in the
darkness were fired at Patroiman At
taway early Wednesday morning as
the officer was on his way to his
home But for the presence of mind
of the policeman in dropping to the
ground when the first shot whistled
by his head he would more than like
ly have been hit by the other four
that whizzed above his head. While
on the ground the officer emptied his
revolver in the direction whence the
leaden missiles flew, but so far as is
known he did not strike any one.
Officer Attaway has been on the
force for about year and is gen.
orally regarded as being a man who
strictly enforces all ordinances and
statute laws and for this reason he
is attacked by an element Of law
breakers which infest the outskirts
Of the city.

Cotton Mills Doing Very Well.

Columbia, Special.-The cotton
mills of South Carolina are doing
very well. There is no unusual de-
mand for goods and with conserva-
tive buying prices naturally are not
booming"
The press dispatches carried this
important item of news:
A reduction from 45-S to 4l-2
cents has been made in standard
print cloths. The quotations on mar
row goods remain unchanged. While
the decline will tend to lower the
margin between the cost of raw cot
ton and the price Of the finished pro-
duet, upon which the operatives
wages are based, it is thought that
the recent reduction in the price of
middling uplands cotton will practic
ally restore it. Fall River prices are
not confined to Fall River goods, un-
fortunately.

Revenue Officers Laid Off.

Greenville, Special.-Internal rev.
enue inspectors, several employees
and raiding deputies, whose services
are not absolutely necessary for the
conduct of offices of revenue head
quarters in South Carolina, have
been told that they can take a rest
of 60 days beginning with April l.
The information coming in the form
of letter from United States Com
missioner of Internal Revenue John
G. Capers in Washington, was con-
veyed to four men here this week.
They are: Inspector V. B. McGaha,
Special Employees j. G.. McGravey
and H. B. Hendrick, white men. and
Jas. Bryer, a negro, who has drawn
a salary from the government for
looking after denatured alcohol. In
Columbia like letter has been re-
ceived and there it will affect eight
Or ten men.
Commissioner Capers says in his
letter that the appropriation for his
department is not sufficient to war
rant him in paying he warrants
drawn by the revenue men. He
therefore wants the raiding of illicit
stills to cease for two months while
the deficit in his department is being
brushed aside.

A Great Fair is to be Held.

The State fair this year is going
to be unusual and extraordinary in
many respects. The preparations
that are now going on are looking to-

gers warrant this and if arrange
ments are made in time.

gestions of all dog owners are re-
queSted.

careful study convinced me that the
construction of sea level canal
would involve expense so great as to
make it impracticable and at the
same time would result less satisfac-
torialy because of difficulties connec-
ted with its maintenance.
''Since that time everything that
has come to my attention has
strengthened my belief in the advan-
tage Of lock canal"
Colonel Goethals declared that re-
ports of engineering difficulties that
would be met on the isthmus have
been greatly exaggerated.
There is not a single thing in con-
nection with the lock canal" he said,
THAT can be called unusual beyond
the question of the magnitude. En-
glneers have performed similar work
elsewhere. There are no doubtful
poblems. If I knew of anything that
might Jeopardize the stability Of this
work after its completion. or make
doubtful its successful construction,
! would promptly make a report on
1t, but there Is nothing Of that kind.n
President Taft Friday again told
Colonel Goethals that if the great wa
terway can be completed by the close
OF 1918, he wanted to see that feat
accomplished. Colonel Goethals, al
though not thinking it likely Of ac-
told the President he
would put every force to work to ex-
pedlte matters to carry out the Presi-
dents orders. Colonel Goethals left
Washington and will sail from New
York for Panama Saturday.

"Unless there is some unforeseen

DEATH KNE[[ OF PAYNE BILL
Senator EIkins Says That The Bill AS
1t Now Stands Will Never
Become a Law.

Washington, Special.-Senator Ell
hns, of West Virginia Tuesday
sounded what is believed to be the
death knell Of the Payne tariff bill
IN its present shape, when he declar-
ed IN the most emphatic terms that
such a bill as that presented to the
House for adoption by the ways and
means committee would never be-
come law, and that if necessary
the Senate would remain in session
until Christmas, if required to do so.
to get bill more acceptable to all
sections of the country. This is the
opinion also expressed by many other
Senators. They maintain that a close
analysis will show that such a bill
as that now proposed would be most
harmful TO the interests of the South
and that, rs millions of dollars of
money belonging to Eastern capital
lists are invested there, such a bill
will never become a law.
Objections to the Bill.
Among the objections set out are
that 1t increases the taxation on the
necessities of life, and that those ar
tlcles actually required by the poor
man will come higher to him.
That the maximum and minimum
features of the bill are loosely drawn
and, If placed in operation, would
be both burdensome to the Ameri-
and otherwise be hurtful to Ameri-
can rtade relations.
That the drawback provisions of
the bill will work out injuriouslv to
the wheat raisers of the great West
and otherwise be hurtful to Aemri-
can industries.
That the inheritance tax provisions
interfere with the State laws bear.

That the bill is lacking in any reci
