Denies Having Taken Lieut.. Caba.
Mss Original Expense Account
from Gen. BOyd's Private Drawer,
as Testified to by Mrs. Moody
Explains that "HOtel Bill" Includ-
cd Other Items.

Columbia, May 26.-Col w. T.
Brock contradicted this afternoon the
testimony Of Mrs. v. G.. Moody, that
he had entered a private drawer of
Adjt. Gen. Boyd and taken therefrom
Lieut.. Gabiniss' original expense ac-
count. II cannot recall having taken
the paper from the drawer" said Col.
Brock. I'm fact 1 am positive that I
did not. 1 certainly could not have
had any use for it. If 1 had wanted
to steal the paper 1 certainly would
not have done so in the presence of
Mrs. Moody or anyone else" The con-
trad1ction of the statement of Mrs.
Moody by Col Brock was the feature
OF Col. Brooks testimony. He was
on the stand during the morning and
afternoon for the greater part of the
session of the Court today. There has
been general speculation as to what
explanation Col. Brock would offer of
the charges brought by Gen. Boyd as
to the expense items alleged to have
been extravagant and padded" and
the alleged discrepancies.
In brief Col. Brooks explanations
as given today on the stand are: That
he meant by "hotel bill not only the
actual expense of eating and sleep
ing, but also incidentals such as laun-
dry, shining of boots and leggings,
tips and the like; that in the hotel
bills he not only charged up the ac-
tual expenses incidental to that spe-
cial trip, that Is 20 include, dinner on
the train, breakfast at a station, or
the like, that he often took a longer
route than did Lieut.. Cabaniss, thus
using more mileage, that he did not
consider it extravaganza to treat"
officers OF the National Guard, be-
cause ne had accepted their courtes-
les, although he did not recall having
had them as guests many times.

ROADS.
Marion Commission Will Profit BY
Experience of Expert.

Marion, May 25.--The good roads
commission met here Monday after
noon, every member being present
Under an act proposed by the Marion
chamber of commerce, framed by the
Marion delegation and passed at the
last meeting of the general assembly
this county was authorized to issue
bonds to the amount Of 100000 to
be expended in improving the public
roads of the county.
Reaves township having already
voted a special tax for this purpose,
it was decided by the commission
yesterday to apply the funds already
collected from this tax to the roads
In Reaves township. Through the ef-
forts of Congressman Ellerbe, a gov
ernment expert has been secured and
is expected to arrive here at an early
date to give an object lesson in road
building. The county chaingang will
be placed at his disposal, and the
county supervisor will be on hand to
learn what he can about scientific
road building.
The county has been peculiarly for
tunate in getting the following to
serve on the commission: j. D. Mont
gomery, chairman and treasurer; w.
F. Stackhouse, M. T. Baker, Horace
Tilghman., DR.. French Smith. l.. D.
LIide has been chosen secretary.

insurance Commissioner F. H. Nc
Master of Columbia, is in the city to-
day. He does not state what his busi-
ness is, that is to the reporter, but it
Is safe bet that he is looking into
the Edens bond matter. Mr.. McMas-
ter is one of the most efficient officers
in the State, and has saved the tax
payers thousands of dollars. He
knows his business, and has the back
bone and courage to perform his du-
ties without fear or favor. His re-
port on the Edens matter is looked
forward to with a great deal Of in
terest by Sumter people.

then l am satisfied you will not get
one. In making these nominations
l never considered for moment
whether L was nominating special
friends of the Health Officer or not,
nor did l entertain the slightest
thought Of nominating any one who
was not a friend of the Health Off
Ger, but / was looking solely to the
interest and welfare of the city, and
not the welfare of the Health Officer
or any other individual. In other
words. any knowledge that 1 might
have had of their attitude towards
you, one way or the other, would not
have had a feathers weight in my
selection of them. When you ap-
preached me, suggesting that 1 should
consult with you before making these
appointments, l at once reached the
conclusion that it was your purpose
not only to be the Health officer, but
indirectly, to be the Board Of Health
u
of Health seems to be secondary TO
that Of Health Officer in your esti-
nation.
In conclusion, 1 would like to call
your attention to the story of the
fifteen hundred dollar man. This was
a man who made five hundred dollars
in attending to his own business, and
one thousand dollars by letting the
business of other people alone.
trust that you will follow his ex-
ample in the future and that you
will do as well, and then l am salts
fled you would not imagine impure
motives in other peoples actions, and
l will further remind you of the
axiom:
Evil to him who evil thinketh."
and Of the further axiom, THE wick
ed flee when no man pursueth."

SENATE FOR 2 DREADNAUGHTS
NAV->U APPROPRIATION BILD
PASSED YESTERDAY.
Burton Amendment Providing For
Only One First-Class Batdeship
Voted Down-Entire Amount Car.
ried by Measure Nearly One Hun.
dred and Thirty-four Millions-The
Democrats Voted With Majority.

Washington, May 23.-Voting
down, 26 to 80, an amendment offered
by Mr.. Burton to authorize only one
new battleship, instead of two, the
senate today passed the naval appro-
priation bill.
The bill carries an appropriation Of
almost $134, 100000. 1t was before
the senate for two days, the debate
being confined almost exclusively to
the battleship question.
Two important amendments were
adopted today. One of them, offered
by Senator Johnson, appropriates
$450,000 for the purchase of torpedo
boats whose vitals are below the
normal line" the other, by Senator
Jones, eliminates railroad, county and
municipal bonds from the securities
which may be deposited by contrac-
tors.
The naval increase for the fiscal
year, ending June 80, 1911, provided
by the bill, is as follows:
Two first-class battleships to cost
not exceeding $6,000,0OO each.
Two fleet colliers to cost not ex-
ceeding $1,OOO,0O0 each.
Five submarine torpedo boats not
exceeding a total of $2,50O,000.
Six torpedo boat destroyers to cost
not exceeding $750,0O0 each.
The house bill provided for only
four submarines and no torpedo boat
destroyers. The senate also added
provision that not more than one Of
the battleships should be built by the
same company.
The provision inserted in the House,
requiring that the battleships and
| fleet colliers should be built under the
"eight hour law" was retained by the
Senate.

and cheerful matrons.
Today's session of the Grand Lodge

feeling, and the routine business dis
patched with earnestness on the part
of every one. 1t was decided to fix
five thousand dollars as a limit for
the Thornwell memorial fund and to
continue the disposition of the income
as is done now. Columbia was select
