BUYS BUILDING SITE.
Independent Oil Company Purchases
Ground Near Charleston.

Charleston, Sept. 23.-The Texas
Independent Oil company, which is
to establish a large plant in Charles
ton, has purchased it's site on the
Cooper river and is proceeding with
the arrangements for the location of
it's plant.
A large tract comprising 3S%
acres, has been bought from the
Burton Lumber company, the deed
of transfer having been recorded to-
day at the Office of the register of
mesne conveyance and on this site
will be erected the plant which is to
be one of the largest oil repositories
in the South. The purchase price
was $4,000 and the papers were
made out in the name of William A.
Thompson, Jr.
The deal has been pending for some
time and now that the site has been
purchased, there seems to be no like
lihood that the plans will not be car
ried out and the big oil works estab-
lished. The people who are behind
the plant here are the hardest COM
petitors that the Standard Oil COM
pany has met and the esta blishment
of the plant at Charleston is in accord
with the policy of the Independent
corporation to enlarge and extend it's
field of operations. The establish
ment and development Of the Charles
ton navy yard with the certain
demand for oil for boats of navy
has probably especially attracted the
independent company to Charleston.
The oil plant is only another Of the
many new enterprises that have re-
Gently been added to Charleston's in
dustries and it further emphasizes
the commercial awakening Of
Charleston.
In few days representative OF
the big oil company will come to
Charleston, prepared to proceed fur
ther with the construction of the
plant and it is expected that he will
make an announcement respecting
the plans of the company.
Controversy Arises Over Murray.
Sumter, Sept. 23.-Deputy Sheriff
James S. Sykes returned from Co.
lumbia this evening after having seen
Gov. Ansel as to the requisition pa
pers for George Washington Murray,
who is in custody in Chicago as an
escaped convict with q three-year
sentence awaiting him for forgery in
this county in 1904, and with another
indictment pending against him for
perjury.
Mr.. Sykes says that Gov. Ansel
was willing to make requisition on
the governor of Illinois for Murray,
but would not consent that the State
pay the expenses of bringing Murray
back to South Carolina. Gov. Ansel
said that as Sumter county had COL
lected the bond of $4,000 Sumter
county would have to pay the bills.
Mr.. Sykes says that the law on
the subject provides for the payment
by the State of such expenses when
a sheriff or his legally deputized
officers go out Of the State with
requisition papers. The sheriff OF
this county, Mr.. w. H. Epperson, will
have to be authorized by the county
commissioners to expend enough
money to get Murray back, or the
governor will have to pay the ex-
penses out Of the State funds, or
Murray will go free.

TOLD OF BURIED HOARDINGs.
Aged Virginian's Savings of 5000
Transferred to Bank.

Roanoaks, Va, Sept. 24.-There
was deposited in the First National
bank of Logan, w. Va, to-day the
sum of 5000. This specific deposit
has a history as strange and inter-
esting as ever shadowed romance or
figured in the tales told Of the old
time misers.
Milton Mullins, an aged man who
lives at Rolfe postofflce In Logan
county, is the owner Of this small
fortune and the sum deposited rep
resents the savings Of fifty years.
When quite a young man Mullins be-
gan boarding his savings. At every
opportunity he would exchange Sill
yer and greenbacks for gold and two
or three times year he would go to
the treasure crypt in the rear of his
house and make a deposit OF gold
coin. Year after year he watched
the pile accumulate. Even before
the War Between the States he was
reputed to have had a considerable
sum of money hidden on his prem
ises and bands of marauders often
tried to compel him to disclose its
hiding place during the war, but
those attempts were never successful
and the secret remained his own un-
til two days ago.
A few days ago Mullins wife died
and he, feeling that he could not
long survive her, decided that 1t
would be better to disclose at once
the hiding place of the treasure
which represented the slow but regu-
lar accumulation of so years. Sum-
moning J. NJ. Perry, grandson, and
some other near relatives, he related
the story of his hoardings and gave
them directions how to find the
money. They went and dug in the
yard and found even $4,000 In gold
and $40 in silver. Then they pro-
ceeded to the barn where, in the ex-
act spot indicated by the aged man,
they discovered $1,000 in $50 bills,
making 5000 in all.
Mr.. Mullins has always been con-
sidered a frugal and honorable man
and the finding Of the money and the
remarkable details have not surprised
those who have known him for years,
since it was commonly known that he
was boarding his gains somewhere
about his property.

Jails Son to Save Bondsman.

New York, Sept. 27.-John Muir
ray, Jr., aged nineteen, Of No. 217
Nineteenth street, Jersey City, is in
Jail to-day, having been given ub by
his father to save bondsman friend.
The boy was arrested several days
ago for robbing freight cars. The
father, in his trouble, hurried for aid
to Freeholder Richard Fallshee, who
had been his friend since their boy
hood days and who promptly bailed
the young man.
The father later overheard the
son planning to jump his bail and
go west. It was pretty hard ques-
ton between his love of his son and
his loyalty to his friend, but he final
ly stood by the latter, and hurrying
to Fallshe's home he told him to have
a policeman arrest his son again and
return him to jail again before he
could get away. That was done.

She said she picked up a stick and
proceeded to use it with all her force,
beating the boy off. She said that
the boy had been sleeping for two
years in the same house with the
family, but in back room.
After a heated discussion between
the attorneys, during which time the
jury was excluded from the room, a
newspaper correspondent was per-
mitted to tell Of conversation he
had had with the negro few days
after he had been placed in Jail.
The boy was put on the stand and
he denied his intention of wrongdo-
ing, stating that he was just passing
through the room, and in this way,
accidentally touched the woman.
After remaining in the room a few
minutes the jury brought in YER
dict of guilty with recommendation
to mercy, and Judge Wilson SEN
fenced the boy to serve Is years in

His wife can tell just where he is
At morning. noon and night

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Dec. TO-
Out of $50 freshmen girls at the
University of Michigan there are 81
who have curved spines. For each
of these afflicted girls there are
certain exercises given in Barbour
gymnasium by Katherine Bigelow,
the woman's physical director, all
tending to bring the coed back to
her normal condition and health.
Miss Bigelow believes that every
public school should have trained
dire&tor to inteligently instruct in
physical science. 1t would mean
fewer stopped men and women, she
says.
In Barbour gymnasium are com
plete apparatus of all kinds to aid
in the correction of these poor,
abused feminine spines. The case
is indeed stubborn that shows no
marked Improvement after six
months corrective work, Miss Bige-
low says.
For each coed afflicted with
spinal trouble there is an exercise
suited to her individual needs. At
the beginning of the semester an
examination of each student is
made, and measurements taken OF
each freshman girl. After a care
full study of these records MISS
Bigelow evolves certain exercises
which she considers needful. The
exercises are first given with the

may sec if her theory works out
correctly. New exercises are add
ed when the student has strength
to stand them
The apparatus used for curved
spines includes table that looks
more like some fiendish torture in
strument of medieval age than a
twentieth century blessing. On the
table the patient is strapped, hands
grasping ropes which work from
pulleys at the head and each side.
The heavy straps from each side
are so arranged, that when the
spine is curved to the right. the
left strap, arranged to cross the
back at the place where the curya
ture is most pronounced, exercises
resistance to that particular spot,
drawing the curved column to the
left at that place. The coed holds
this position for from two to five
minutes, according to endurance.
Another instrument is a roll

The exercise lasts less than two
minutes. This exercise strength
ems the abdominal muscles, which

enable one to hold an upright po-
sition.
These two exercises are given to
the girls whose condition is most
grievous. For others a Swedish
apparatus, called stall bars, Is
mostly used The weaker girls, to
whom this exercise would prove
too strenuous correction, are
laid flat on their backs on the gym
floor, with their arms extended
above their heads, a 10 pound
weight bar in each hand. In this
position, with feet together, slowly
they raise and lower their legs,
knees and toes extended. This
exercise strengthens all abdominal
muscles and straightens the back.
"A good student must be a
healthy one" said Miss Bigelow.
All my exercises strengthen the
abdominal muscles and the back,
the muscles that enable one to
stand erect. When one has a cor
rect carriage, then only can one
breathe correctly. When my girls
stand and breathe correctly, then
they are on the fair road to per-
feet health"
