WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. - The
long struggle in the house and
senate ended this afternoon a few
minutes before five o'clock, when word
was sent to President Taft that the
bill had been passed by both houses
and was ready to receive his sigma
ture. The latter was attached five
nainutes later, becoming law.
Senators and Representatives in
the corridors and ON the floor at the
conclusion of the work Of the special
session of congress were at no pains
to conceal the great relief which
they felt over the completion of their
llaboGs. Nearly all will leave the
capital at once for uneir homes.
Feeling at conclusion OF the session
lis one of both relief and satisfaction.
Some little soreness may inger with
a few of the western senators, but
the general feeling is that the final
compromise arrangement reached and
acted upon was the best that could
have been made and that there is
NO cause remaining for complaint on
either side.
Republicans express themselves
tonight as generally of the opinion
that the OIL when It has been iansss
syxed sid s1eoomes well understood.
will meet with the approval of the
rank and file. They contend that it
has been a revision dOwnwar1s and
that its defense in coming campaigns
will be readily and successfully made.
Subsequent to signing the bill,
President Taft declined to make
statement for publication, He said
that he might later have an interview
to give out but that at this time
he did not care to pe quoted. 10
callers today the president is reported
to have expressed satisfaction with
the compromise measures finally ar
ranged and which give him practically
all his contentious. That he signed
the bill is accepted as full evidence
that its terms were satisfactory to
him, as it is known that he had de-
fermined to veto any measure that
failed of considering his more i'm
portant demands. 1
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Ten mill
utes after convening, the house took
a recess until $3.50 O'Clock in the
expectation that the senate resolution
providing for the reduction IN the
tariff rates on leather and leather
goods would be ready to be acted
upon. Majority Leader Payne ap-
pealed to all members, regardless OF
party, to be in their seats at the time
stated and there was general response
At 2:10 o. m. the senate ADOPTED
the conference report unchanged
from the draft as presented, on Une
Payne bill, effecting the final passage
of the report through congress. The
vote was AT ayes to 81 noes. The

MAN FATALLY HURT
WAS THROWN FROM LEVER OAR
NEAR EUTAW SPRINGS.
r. l.. Smith, Bridge Foreman, Vic
tim Of Accident Near Eutawville.
Leaves Young Wife.

A dispatch to The State from Fer
guson tells of sad accident that
occurred Saturday night on the At
lantic Coast Line railroad track near
Eutaw Springs. R. l.. Smith of
Tennessee was thrown from hand
car and injured internally and died
In Eutawvlle the same night.
Mr.. Smith was going from Fergu-
son to Eutawville on hand car
worked by four negroes, and when
the party came to very sharp curve
in the track near Eutaw Springs.
they struck a heavy piece of timber.
which had evidently been placed
there by some very heartless person
with evil intent. The speed at which
the car was going, combined with
the sharp curve, caused the car to
be. thrown from the track. Mr..
Smith was thrown from his seat
against the ties, causing his shoulder
to be broken. The negroes were
also thrown off, but their injuries
were very slight. After a. delay Of
a few minutes the car was again
placed on the track and the party
started for Eutawville.
Smith went around to his board
ing place and told Of his accident
but insisted that no physician should
be called as his injuries were very
slight. In very short time he
seemed to be In SO much pain that
his wife summoned DR.. E. o. Hor-
ger to his bedside and upon his ex-
animation he found that there were
internal injuries. The patient ral-
lied upon the use of hypodermic
injections but soon became uncon-
scious and died during the night.
1t seems that there are several
motor cars used on the branch Of
the Coast Line railroa9 between
Eutawville and Ferguson with the
permission of the railroad authori-
ties, and it is supposed that some
cruel person, desiring to derail one
of these cars, had placed a heavy
piece Of timber on the track.
Mr.. Smith was a bright young man
in the employ of the Cypress Lum-
ber Company in constructing the
steel bridge across the Santee river.
He held the position Of assistant
foreman. He leaves very young
bride.
The remains were carried across
the country to st. George on account
of there being no Sunday train from
EutaWville.

WILL LAY HEAVIER RAILS.
Some improvements to be Made in
Southern Road.

The Augusta Herald says that
Superintendent H. l.. nungerford, ?,
of the Southern railway, who is in
charge of the Charleston division
which includes the line from Char
lesion to Augusta, Branchvile and
Columbia and the Camden branch,
spent Monday in Augusta for the
purpose of visiting the freight yards
in Hamburg.
The Herald says further that &C
cording to Mr.. Hungerford, the
tracks on his division will be much
improved during the next few
months, as it has been planed to
relay the line between Charleston
and Augusta and also portions of
the Columbia branch with new Is
and S0-pound rails. and the road
way is to be improved in many other
ways.
Recently the Charleston divisions
received FIVE large locomotives from
the shops, which are practically as
good as new, and when these are
placed in service it will be possible
to handle the trains on that section
of the Southern with greater dis
match.

Cant Enter White Homes.

"Our graduates cannot enter the
homes of whites as servants or house
girls. There is not sufficient pro-
lection in the houses for them. When
they finish their work at night they
are allowed to roam the streets to
be subjected to temptation and are
lost. They may return to their
families less pure and disgrace to
their families" This was the re-
port of Ellen Young. colored mat
ron, of the Paine Annex Home for
negro girls at Augusta, Ca, to the
Womens Board Of Home Missions
of the Methodist Church, South.
This institution. we believe, Is sup
ported by the Southern Methodist
Church which Is composed entirely
of white people. 1t is in order for
Ellen Young to explain what she
meant by her reflection on the peo-
pie who support Paine Institute.

HOWE'S GREAT LONDON SHOWS
A Revelation to All Circus Lovers.
In Orangeburg Friday.

The performance is exceptionally
fine and full of interest to all lovers
of the ring. Nearly everything Is
entirely new, and what is not is
managed and brought out under such
new methods and system that every
act Is refreshing and pleasing. Howe's
Shows seem not willing, to simply
pursue a business on antique meth
ods but to aIvance the show busi-
ness to more gentee and refined
lines. Ali vulgarities and ancient
impoliteness, in and out o. the ring,
have been eliminated, and the show
wherever it goes this year. We say
this in all sincerity. Great improve
ments are noticeable, especially to
us old fellows who have attended
every circus for more than fifty years
that has come along. No gentleman
or lady, no matter how moral or re-
Iigfous the calling they pursue, nor
what refined circle they move in, nee
hesita0e to attend the show, nor
be certain of anything but refined
pleasure. free from anything that din
gusts or casts a shadow of contempt.
This is as 1t should be. and We pre-.
dict greater future for the Howe's
Shows on these lines than has ever
been enjoyed by any competitor.
The new menagerie is a vast COL
lection of the earth's most inter-
esting and marvellous wonders.
New cages, rolling stock, equip
ment, all bright in gold and silver,
will be seen for the first time after
a full winters establishment by
scores of expert artisans.
The show date here is tomorrow,
Friday, October 29.

BRANCHVILLE NEWS.
Negro Stole o Bicycle But Was
Later Captured.

Branchville, Oct. 26.-Special:
Last Saturday night colored man
named Bryant, who was in Branch
Vile and wanted to 80 to RoWes-
Vile, decided that, although he did
not have the price to pay his rail-
road fare, that he would go and
that he would not walk, either; so
he decided that he would accompany
bicycle that belonged to w. Z.
Steeily up there, and that in the
event that Mr.. Steedly did not miss
his wheel or seem to care for it be-
ing out of place, that he would just
keep it and use it himself as II 1t
was his own property.
Mr.. Steedly, however, decided lat
er that some one had stolen LIS bl-
cycle and he at once telephoned to
the Chief Of Police at Rowesville,
and in a short time the active Chief
up there located a suspicious negro
in his town that had a bicycle and
he arrested him and captured the
bicycle. and after investigating the
matter it was found that 1t was
certainly the property of Mr.. Steeoly'
and q warrant was thereupon, sworn
out for the negro Bryant and after
he gets through with this bicycle eX-
perienoe he will, no doubt, be will
ing to walk next time when he Is
without the price to pay his way on
the train.
Mr.. G. w. Lebby, OF st. George, Is
