 The Squab Industry.
 In the National Squab Magazine for January, is an article written by Drexel T. Hubbard, entitled How I Filled a Country Club Order" MT. Hubbard is one of the most enter prising young men of Greenwich. He started in the squab business at ''StOnybrOok Farm in the winter of 1904, purchasing his first breeders and foundation stock from the Rice firm. Now IIe has 1,500 pairs of Hom- CTS. There are four houses, each no feet long and feet high, with feed house attached. The water is sup piled by hydraulic power. Each build ing is well ventilated. The birds are all coIor-handed, and a record is kept each year of what each pair produces. Recently MT. Holm. of the Greenwich Country Club, placed an order for 175 birds, at $3.60 per dozen.
 Delicate Shades Spoiled.
 In all probability the Smith & Kauf- man silk mills will be moved from Norwalk in the near future. This company manufactures some of the finest silk ribbons made in this coun- try. The company located in Nor walk two or three years ago, coming from New York city to rid themselves from the smoky atmosphere, which is very detrimental to the manufacture of silks. They claimed after being here awhile, that while conditions were much better than in New York, yet they were far from perfect. The Business Mems Association of Nor walk took up the matter and one of the company's officials appeared and told of the destructive work done to the silk exture by the dirt and grime thrown into the air by the burning of soft coal. The official explained that smoke, issuing from chimneys for many miles around affected the silk texture. He stated that during the day. the particles of coal dust went into the air, and at night when the air became heavy, settled and spoiled the silk, as it remained in the looms over night. He explained that a large percentage of the silk made in the mill had to be sold as damaged goods But nothing was done.

How Boston Transcript Re gards Action of Massachu-
 setts Commission
Attorney General Puts It Up to Legislature; the Legislators Put It Up to Commission, Which W ants Railroad to Petition for Ratification of It's Acts.
(Boston Transcript.)

In being asked by the Legislature what it should do with the New Ha- ven railroad because of it's infractions of our law, the Railroad Commission CTS. the Tax Commissioners and the Savings Bank Commissioner might well have sighed for something easier. The Attorney General found the nut so hard to crack that, instead of reg ularly proceeding under the letter of the law, he brought the whole affair to the attention of the Legislature, inviting it to direct him. That body not knowing what to answer, created this special joint commission, setting date in January at which 1t must report Nothing could be more anus ing than the spectacle of that Legisla- ture, while passing railroad holding bill. in virtual recognition of what the New Haven had done, deliberately as signing a group of state officials to decide how the railroad should be pun ished for the state of facts which the Legislature was only too ready to re- gard as accomplished
 In these circumstances the joint commission, friends and critics must agree, has done as well as. it could. It wants the New Haven Railroad to pc tition for ratification of it's acts by the Massachusetts Legislature. While no draft of such a petition in accept able form is appended, either the Railroad Committee or the Attorney General would readily put into shape the wishes of the Commonwealth in this regard as soon as the New Ha- ven Railroad gives evidence of it's as- sent to this method of procedure. This will doubtless be forthcoming. The Legislature, having already acknoWl edged the existing status by affirn1a- tive legislation will proceed with it's mandate copferring forgiveness upon IL.
 No one can read the report without perceiving how delicate are the rela- tions between two states like Massa- chusetts and Connecticut, each at tempting to regulate the affairs of the same corporation. Massachusetts must have a care in it's endeavors lest it go so far as to invite reprisals from Connecticut. Some of the meas ures which have been proposed here would be excellent if the rails of this railroad system were lying entirely without our own boundaries, but Con- necticut's relation to them must nev- CT be overlooked. Something of an understanding between the legislative leaders of the two states-an agree ment as to policies-would seemingly be highly desirable. If farcical Situa- tions like that from which we are now escaping are in the future to be avoided
 One line of help which will occur to people for such a situation lies in the proposed federal incorporation law; but here the remedy might be. worse than the disease. Massachusetts may well hesitate to relinquish it's own con trol over corporations by turning that function into the maelstrom of na- tional legislation and perhaps of na- tionaI politics. That question at least has not been fully thought out; nor is there any prospect of the early

HAWLEY'S PERSONAL RIGHT.
 ys. HIS OFFICIAL DUTY

Sheriff Hawley has a devoted friend In the Ansonia Sentinel. The South NorwaIk Sentinel having stated that there is a distinct feeling among a large number of Republicans in Fair field county, friends of Congressman E. J. Hill, that Sheriff Sidney E. Flaw ley forfeited all rights for their support for reelection by the very determined effort he exerted to bring about the defeat of sMr Hill for the United States Senate" the Sheriff's Ansonia did not. thereby. forfeit "any political rights whatever. either private or pub iic'', and that "the time has gone by when one free American citizen is ac- countable to another as to how he shall vote or whom he shall favor for any office whatever
 The Farmer comedies at once that any American citizen may, in his pri- vate capacity, exercise his personal will. But this case of Sheriff Hawley stands on a widely different basis.
 He was elected to the office now held by him for a prolonged series of years and to which he apparently be- heves his title to be perfect and per petuated by a right akin to that of "adverse possession, by the Republ1- cans of Fairfield county. Included in the patronage of that office is a series of town appointments, capable of being welded, and which have been welded, into an effective machine which should be. but is not, used solely in carrying out the wishes of his constituents. In the Hin-Brandegee contest, this ma chineswas used against the Hill can- didacy, despite the clearly obvious fact that heavy majority of the Sheriff's S constituents desired the election of MT. Hill That is, Sheriff Hawley eXer- cised the power entrusted to him by the Republicans of Fairfield county to defeat their wishes, and current re- port has it that he proposes to repeat this nullifying act by supporting Bulk eiey against Mclean.
 The Farmers contention is that while Sheriff Hawley possessed the right of personal choice as between Hill and Brandegee, he did rot possess the right morally at least, to use his official power-hiS machine-in support of the latter. It was his undoubted privil- ege to personally support Brandegee; it power of his machine from use against the candidate of his constituents for the Senatorship, MT. Hill.

STEAMERS BOILERS EXPLODED.
Il-Fated General Chanzy Blew Up
After Striking Reef.

Palma, Island Of Marjorca, Feb.
13-The supposition that the French
transatlantic steamer Gen. ChanzyS
boilers exploded after she struck on
the reefs near the Island Of Minorca,s
Thursday night, is based largely upon
the character Of the wreckage Of the
chip, which was reduced almost to
kindling.
The sole survivor, so far as u
known, was Marcel Rodel, and his
mind is still far from clear after his
terrible experiences. The work OF;
salvage and recovery of the bodies
continues, but is greatly retarded BY
the high seas. Among the bodies
washed ashore was a woman with q
baby clasped in her arms.

MAKES RESTITUTION.
Meyer, Pitts & Co. Pay State for
Overcharges on Liquor.

Restitution money in the sum OF
$3,43750 was received by Attorney
General Lyon yesterday from Meyer,
Pitts & Co., a whiskey firm Of Balti-
more, Md. The money was collected
by Anderson, Fielder, Rountree and
Wilson, the Atlanta firm Of lawyers
who have charge of the collection OF
such funds. -...->
The check was turned over to the
dispensary commission and will go
to the dispensary fund. Over $780,
600 has been collected in the nature
of restitution money.
The payment of this amount Of the
Baltimore whiskey house came as a
surprise, says Attorney General Lyon.
The accounts with Meyer, Pitts & Co.,
had been closed several years ago.
There was no overjudgment against
the company and there was no claim
against the State.
Until recently there was no direct
evidence against this company as to
overcharging the State for liquors
and those in charge of the dispensary
affairs had not given the firm a
thought believing that all business
dealings with the house had been
.ok&1ol ,a1yoro1 oon
Mr.. Lyon said yesterday that the
Meyer, Pitts & Co., did. not do a
great amount of business with the old
State dispensary.
The dispensary commission now
holds funds to the extent of 100000
which amount will no doubt be in
creased within the next year by resti-
tuition money and by the collection
of over judgments. The sum OF
S275,000 has been deposited in the
various banks of the State by the
commission through the State treas
urer and 100000 is held in re-
serve pending the litigation In several
claims.
Mr.. Lyon said yesterday that he is
expecting other checks for restitu-
ton. A lot of this money was gone
beyond recall but for the services OF
the Atlanta firm of lawyers who had
made a speciality Of this case and
could make the liquor houses dis
gorge when nobody else could have
done it.-Columbia State.

BABY,s CRY SAVED TWELVE.
Gas Fumes Had Nearly Done Their
Work When Help Arrived.

Work When Help Arrived.
Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 13.-Thirteen
people were overcome by illuminat-
ing gas and a woman was killed by
inhaling gas here to-day.
At the home of Henry Kolkely
twelve visitors, who remained over
night after attending party, were
saved from death by the cry OF a
taby. The family and the visitors
Lad retired after dancing until almost
daylight. While they slept a defec-
tive gas pipe poured fumes into the
crowded quarters.
At l p. m. to-day baby sleeping
in another room by a window gave
e. loud wall. This aroused Henry
Kolkeley, the only one in the house
not completely overcome. He man
aged to crawl to a window and call
into the street for help. Outsiders
found the Kolkeley family and their
visitors all unconscious. They were
taken to a hospital where it was
thought they would recover. In a
hotel the police found Annie Miller,
"a years old, dead from the effects
of gas, and Annie Evans, 20 years
old, in the came room, lying.

NEGRO ASSAULTS GIRL.
I.ynching Barely Prevented Near Mo-
bile, Alabama.

Mobile, Ala, Feb. 12.-After hid
ing from a mob of angry citizens at
Whistler, a small town near Mobile,
for nearly six hours, Sheriff Drago
tonight succeeded in landing in Jail
Houston Moseley, the negro charged
with criminally assaulting and beat
ing Katie Walters, a white girl 12
years old.
Shortly after Mosley was placed in
Jail another negro was arrested at
Whistler and it stated that there is
considerable doubt as to the guilt of
Moseley. Excitement at Whistler is
intense, but it is believed the authori-
ties have the situation well in hand.
1t was first reported in Mobile that
the mob had taken Moseley from the
officers at Whistler and this gave rise
to wild reports of lynching, but in the
firing which followed the discovery
of the negro in the hands Of the
officers, Moseley was shot through
the thigh and when he fell, Sheriff
Drago succeeded in eluding the mob
and landed his prisoner in the Mobile
Jail here.
Shortly after two o'clock this af-
ternoon, the Walters girl was walk
ing along the railroad track at Bes-
tor, Ala, two miles North of Whist
ler. She noticed a negro standing on
the trestle and saw that he had a
gun. She turned and ran, but the
negro fired upon her and she fell to
the ground. The girl was painfully
wounded in the back, but her inju-
ries are not of a fatal nature. The
negro came to the PROSTATE form of
his victim and seeing that she was
alive evidently tried to kill her by
striking her over the head with the
butt Of his gun.
Emmett Myers, resident of Whist
ler, came upon the wounded girl and
carried her to Whistler, where she
received medical attention. TIE ply
sician pronounced her wounds not of
fatal nature.

Guilds Head Master.

Cordesville, Feb. 13.-Mr. ]. c.
Guilds, Jr., of this place, has accept
ed the position of head master of the
Bamberg Fitting School, at Bam-
berg, S. C. At the last session Mr..
Guilds was professor of English in
the Fitting School, but is now taking
a postgraduate course at Vanderbilt
University, Nashville, Tenn. His du-
ties will begin with the coming fall
session. Mr.. Guilds is a graduate Of
Wofford College, and his standing in
college was such that no sooner had
he taken his degree than he was put
in the Fitting School as instructor,
from which position he has been pro-
NOTED to head master, the Fitting
School being the annex to Wofford.
The rise of Prof. Guilds is of much
satisfaction to his many home
friends here, who recognize in him
one who has made success because
he has deserved and worked for it;
and with his capacity to do greater
things in his vocation as educator,
there is no doubt but that in time he
will take a continued high stand in
this his chosen profession, and in all
ways continue to make good, not only
to himself, but to all who are under
his influence.

Sound Building.

C.. W. Garris was railroad commis-
sioner for six years and was not in
frequently referred to as the man of
brains of that board. He passed out
of service and the public forgot;
there was no enduring mark left as
a reminder. But Mr.. Garris returned
to the House of representatives.
Many men acclaim boisterously
about helping the poor man." and
doing something for the common
people," but when they get the op-
portunity 80 out of 100 appear to i'm
agine that the way to help the poor
man" is to hurt somebody who isn't
poor, and that doing something for
the common people," consists in
clubbing somebody not classed with
the common people" OF course
these fail to do anything but gain a
moments notoriety, and they pass
from the stage to oblivion.
But Mr.. Garris, without whoop or
burning of red fire, has done some
thing for the poor man, and by 80
doing has done something for all
South Carolinians. Last year he In
duced the legislature to give $4,000
to aid poor rural school districts that
cannot support schools by themselves.
The State then predicted that the es-
tablishment of this principle was
most important and that appropria-
tions for this purpose would be in
creased until the legislature gave at
least 100000 year.
The plan has worked well, and
Representative Garris has secured
from the House an increase OF the
appropriation for this purpose to
100000. AS no school district can
receive more than 500 year from
this fund, and can only get such as
sistance after levying special two
mill school tax and raising an
amount equal to that given by the
State, 100000 will furnish encour-
agement and incentive, besides sub
stantial aid, to at least 600 poor
school districts, and probably to 900.
That means much for the children
in those districts who choose to at
tend the school thus provided, and
consequently it means much to South
Carolina. And 80 we say that Mr..
Garris, has, by his initiative in this
matter, builded a monument to him
self that will long mark his legisla-
tive career.-Columbi State.
