Makes Record Run.

From Garrison to Elbowoods the
marshal made record run in an auto
mobile, covering the distance Of fifty
miles between the two points in less
than two hours, which allowed for a
slight accident on the road. The roads
from Garrison west were not as smooth
as might have been and in some places
hard to travel on.

Two Negroes Win Hero Medals.

A wadesboro dispatch to the Char
lotte Observer tells the interesting
story OF the awarding of Carnegie
hero medals TO two colored men of
that community. Harley Tomlinson
and Frank Forest were the negroes
who risked their lives to save others
Tomllnson gave his.
IL was last August that they thus
distinguished themselves. The Pee
Dee River was I'm flood. Tomlinson
and Forest were on the bank. Two
white men travelling through the
country by buggy, sought to cross the
river. Three colored. men. Frank
Snuggs. julie Snuggs and Oscar Col
son undertook TO ferry them across
In the middle OF the stream an acci-
dent occurred. the ferry boat vas ov-
erturned and sank and all OF the oc-
cupants except Colson were swept
from the boat.
AS speedily as possible Tomlnson
and Forrest took a small boat. and
went 90 the'rcscuc OF the party Col
son was still clinging to the overturn-
ed boat. and coming first To him they
ondeavored 90 rescue him. Instead.
both ne and Tomlinson were drown
ed and Forrest was swept out Of his
boat and far down the stream. For
rests son had reached the scene i'm
the meantime and managed 10 save
his father and ne and his father then
returned and brought all OF the others
20 land. Tho two white men and TN"
other two ferry hands suffered no in
jury.
The matter was brought 10 the at
tentlon OF the Carnegie hero fund
commission by a minister Of Wades-
boro. the Rev. Mr.. Chambllss. who
has now been notified that bronze
medals have been awarded Frank

GRASS.

John j. Ingalls, eulogy on grass
has probably been copied more times
in the columns Of the daily press than
any other similar selection, with the
exception Of Senator's Vests tribute
to dogs. 1t it is worth at least one
appearance each year in every news
paper, and this seems to be a parti-
cularly auspicious season for it's use,
so here goes.
Grass is the forgiveness of ma
ture-her constant benediction. Fields
trampled with battles, saturated with
blood, torn with the ruts of cannon,
grow green again with grass, and
carnage is forgotten. Streets aban-
doned by traffic become grass-grown
like rural lanes, and obliterated. For
ests decay, harvests perish, flowers
vanish, but grass is immortal. Beleag-
ured by the seven hosts of winter, it
Withdraws into the impregnable
fortresses of it's subterreanean vital
ity and emerges upon the first solici-
tatiOn Of spring. Sown by the winds,
by the wandering birds, propagated
by the subtle horticulture Of the ele-
ments which are the ministers and
servants. 1t softens the nude outline
of the world. It's tenacious fibres
hold the earth in it's place and pre-
vent the soluable componentS from
washing into the wasting sea. 1t in
vades the solitudes Of the deserts,
climbs the inaccessible slopes and for
bidding pinnacles of mountains,
modifies climate and determines the
history, character and destiny of ma
tions. Unobstructive and patient, it
has immortal vigor and aggression
Banished from the thOroughfare and
the field. it bides its time to return,
and when vigilance is relaxed, or the
dynasty has perished, it silently re-
sumes the throne from which it has
been cXpellcdy but which it never alb
dicates. 1t bears no blazonry Of
bloom to charm the senses with
fragrance or splcndor but its hOmely
hue is more enchanting than the
lily or the rose. 1t yields no fruit
in earth or air, and yet, should it's
harvest fail for a single year, famine
would dopopulatc the world"

OLLIE McKAGEN ARRESTED.

Ollie McKagen went to Florence or
Timmonsville and brought back two
suit cases full of whiskey Wednes-
day. When he reached the station he
asked Mr.. c. M. Higgins, of Mayes-
vile, who happened to be on the
train, to take the suit cases in a hack
and leave them at the Star restaurant
for him, that he would not be sus-
pected. There he was wrong, for Of
ficer Owens did suspect Mr.. Higgins
when came out with the two heavy
suit cases. Mr.. Higgins was arrested,
and did not hesitate to tell who the
whiskey belonged to.
Ollie was arrested and carried be-
fore Mayor Jennings, where he said
that he brought it in for some other
parties. Mayor Jennings bound him
over for trial in the sum of 5000 H. II.
Edens was his 1Ondsman.

time. Frank Forrest in addition to
the medal Is given the lump sum of
$500.
The example Of these two North
Carolina colored men ought to be an
inspiration to their entire race. One
of the great handicaps under which
the negro has labored Is the fact that
he boasts no past and has been with
out heroic exemplars in courag ageous
deeds and right living. The unselfish
bravery Of Harley Tomlinson and
Frank Forrest deserves applause

MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES
Nr. ). IL. Edn,unds Delivers a NotahIo
Address.

The Memorial Day exercises which
were held at the cemetery Tuesday
afternoon at o'clock, were attended
by at least one thousand persons, the
usual large number of people from
other sections Of the county having
come to unite with the residents of
this city in paying honor to the men,
ory of the soldiers of the Confeder-
acy.
Inc programme as arranged by
the Daughters of the Confederacy was
carried out as follows:
PROGRAM.
The following is the order Of march
from the cemetery gate:
The Sumter, Veterans, the Mayor
and Speaker, U. D. c., Flower Girls
s. L. l., Battalion of City Schools.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
have arranged the programme given
below:

ton the flower girls will decorate the

Prayer-The Rev. Mr.. Kohn.
Selection by Band.
Introduction Of the speaker by the
Mayor, Hon. L. D. Jennings.
The Speaker, Mr.. S. H. Edmunds.
Selection by Band.
The feature Of the occasion was the
address by Mr.. s. H. Edmunds. It
was one Of those rare and exceptional
public speeches that seemed to those
who heard it all too brief, yet omitted
nothing that should have been said.
In thought, diction and eloquence of
delivery 1t was a worthy and inspir-
Ing contribution to the great sympos-
ium of patriotic orations which have
been delivered over graves of soldiers
OF Lee and Jackson by the South's
most gifted statesmen and scholars
on recurring Memorial Days from
he gloom shadowed years when the
South was filled with newly made
graves, with the wounds inflicted by
the war yet unhealed and the
rancor and bitterness Of newly ended
ocnf1ct unassaged by times benefi-
cent touch. until this day of peace
and happiness. when the war and it's
heart-breaking penalties are but
memories Of glorious heroism and un-
selfish patriotism. The theme Of the
speakers address was patriotism"
and it's exemplification in the highest
and truest type by the soldiers Of the
South on hundred battle fields and
by the people of the South during the
war and throughout their forty and
more years Of labor to rebuild and
restore a devasted and war SCARED
land, Much more could be said in
appreciation Of this address, Eut to
those who were not present further
attempt to record in words the i'm :
pressiOns made upon those who were
so fortunate as to hear it would seem
like over-praise, while those who
fell under the spell of the spoken
word and felt the force of the
thought-weighted sentences, are Sc
cure in the knowledge that neither
praise nor criticism can add to nor
detract from the rare pleasure they
experienced in hearing a truly elo-
quent and patriotic presentation Of an
old, old story that can never grow
old to a son of the South.

RAILROAD BILL SAFE,
HOUSE PASSES TAFT'S FAVORITE
MEASURE.
After Many Changes and Chances,
Republicans Finally Unite and Pass
BIZ.

washington, May 10.-WithOut d
single dissenting Republican vote, the
house today passed the railroad bill,
one of the chief measures that Presi-
dent Taft wished enacted at the pres
ent session of congress.
Not only did every Republican
place himself on the side Of the meas
ure, either by his vote or by being
paired in it's favor, but IA Democrats
joined the majority to make the total
vote in favor of the measure 200 to
PA.
President Taft tonight said he was
deeply gratified over the passage Of
the measure. He was especially
pleased with the comfortable margin
by which the commerce court feature
was kept in the bill, for he regards
this court as probably the most i'm
portant forward step in the proposed
law.
AS to the amendments and addi-
tional provisions added in the house,
the president said he did not feel that
this was the time to discuss them, nor
that he was fully enough acquainted
with the changes to discuss them.
- Referring to the clause providing
for the physical valuation of railroads,
Mr.. Taft pointed out that that power
now practically rests with the inter-
state commerce commission and that
the difficulty in carrying out such a
plan always has been found in the
enormous cost Of the undertaking.
When all the amendments adopted
by the house while in committee Of
the whole had been agreed to, Mr..
Adamson, (Ga.), senior Democratic
member Of the minority of the COM
mittee, moved to recommit it to the
committee, with instructions that 1t
be reported back with the commerce
court clause stricken out. This was
defeated, 157 to 176.
The bill makes many changes in
existing laws, that, if accepted by the
senate, will greatly affect the inter-
state commerce commission.
AS amended the bill proposes to
bring the telephone and telegraph
companies under the control of the
interstate commerce commission. 1t
provides for the valuation of railroad
property as an aid to the commission
in the consideration of railroad rates.
The bill gives the commission au-
thority over classifications, regula-
tions and practices of railroads, it's
authority at the present time being
limited to rates ana matters affecting
rates.
Champ Clark, leader Of the Demo-
cratic minority, explaining the Demo-
cratic course in opposing the bill on
final vote, said:
"The Democrats who voted against
the bill did so because they consider
ed that there were more bad features
in the bill than there were good ones.
When it was first brought into the
house, 1T was a railroad bill, pure and
simple. 1t was drawn in their in
terest. Not a railroad lobbyist ap-
peared around the halls of congress
in opposition to this bill, which spoke
more eloquently than many volumes
could do that the railroads were in
favor of this legislation.
Every amendment that was adopt
ed in the house helped the bill, but
there were not enough Of them. Had
the court of commerce feature and
some parts Of sections 13, IA and Is
been stricken out I for one would
have voted for the bill"
