In His Annual Report Sub
mitted TO the Congress
Today.
EV Err AL MEASURES
OF National importance Are
Recommended by the
Secretary.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. s.
Currency reform, extension Of the
scope of the national banking laws
IN the event of no immediate general
change OF the monetary system; civil
service retirement; a customs ser.
vice free from practical politics;
lbusiness-like methods in the daily
transactions of the government and
a general abolition OF red tape
wherever 1T clogs the wheels Of the
government business, are among
the recommendations contained in
the annual report of Franklin Mac
Yeagh, secretary of the treasury, pre-
sented to Congress today.
The expenses OF the government
in the fiscal year 1912, for which
this session OF Congress is asked to
appropriate, are estimated at
$630,494,O1$.12. The estimated
expenditures on the Panama canal
are given US S56,92O,S47.69, max
ing total of $6S7,414,S6O.S1. The
estimates, il carried out, represent
net savings of about $1S,OOO,OOO in
the executive departments as COM
pared with the appropriations for
the current fiscal year.
While the secretary's report esti-
mates the total expense OF the gov
rnment at s6S7,414,S6O the esti-
mates which have been transmitted
to Congress ask for $74S,414,S6O.
Congress is asked to appropriate
this extra $61,oOO,OOO to make the
sinking fund law effective. 1t
would be an appropriation to permit
the treasury to begin applying one
per cent year to the discharge of
the national debt. The law author.
izing such procedure has been a
dead letter for some time as Con-
gress has never set aside any money
for this purpose.
Will Leave Surplus.
Receipts for 1912. Secretary Mac
Veagh estimates, will be S6SO,OOO,-
600 which would leave an ordinary
surplus of around $4,000. 900. If
the treasury should continue to pay
for the Panama canal out of the
cash drawer as at present, such
surplus would be turned to deficit
of sT414,S6O.S1.
Secretary Macyeagh expresses the
hope that the monetary question
will come into Congress detached
from sectional or political consider
atoms.
Our system can fairly be called a
panic breeding system, he says,
whereas every other great national
banking and currency system is
panic preventing. AS long as we
continue under our present sys-
TEN We are liable to panics and the
deyastatious of panics reach Repub-
Leans and Democrats and all parts
OF the country alike. Panlcs are no
longer necessary and no longer re-
spectacle. 1t is for the government
to say whether we shall have panics
in the future or not. 1t is a mere
matter of choice.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be In
durable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be q
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. ]. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio. is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally In

A SMALL DECREASE
IN COLUMBIA SCHOOL

TWENTY-FIVE LESS THAN YEAR
AGO, ACCORDING TO OFF,
ciAL REPORT.
NEARLY ALL ARt ABLE TO READ
But Fifty-Nine Blacks and Twenty
Whites Who Can't Declpher the
Heiroslyphles-Third Ward Makes
a Showing.

The scholastic population of Colum,
bia, which has just been compiled by
j. 8. Orman, shows a slight decrease
over the previous year. the total num-
Der being 1,572 as against 1884. The
falling on is accounted for by the clos
ing down Of the cotton factory and
the removal of a number of families
from the city. But for this fact an
increase would have chalked up. The
city receives from the county $500 per
capita school money, so that the
shrinkage will hurt financially.
The third ward makes the best
showing from the scholastic stand
point with total of 735. However,
there is a preponderance of negroes
in this ward. And incidentally the
number of negro children of school
age in the three wards is 699 and the
Of white children S78, denot-
ing either high birth rate among the
negroes or rapid growth in the col
Ored colony of Columbia There are
SO negro children who can't read and
20 white children who are deficient

TELEGRAMS WERE BUT AS
CRUMBLING SAND.
HAS The GREAT WEATHER.EYE
Senator Taylor Saw That His Espous-
al of Patterson Meant Political Ruin.
Regulates Speaking Engagements
and Refuses to Pour OIL.

"Our Bob" as the Patterson party
of Maury affectionately called Senator
Robert Love Taylor in their highly
laudatory resolutions of recent date
has created somewhat of political
sensation in Maury by his reputation
of his speaking programme in the in
terest of the State machine.
Nothing that has occurred during
the campaign has so distressed the
followers of the game cock" And
the reason is obvious Senator Taylor
has long been known as the possessor
Of the keenest weather-eye in the COM
monwealth. He has always been able
to presage victory afar, and has con-
sistently kept on the winning side.
His remuneration of the P. P. (Patter-
son Party has convinced even the
most enthusiastic followers of the
second Andrew Jackson" that the jig
is up. There is no hope left.
He has got more sense than any
of you,' is the way one Patterson man
expressed it when solicitous friend
questioned him about the latest evo-
luton of the king of political aero
bats, and it is inferred that he was
speaking of the wisdom Of the Sena-
tor in leaving sinking boat,
The Patterson people of this coun-
ty are naturally very much put out.
Some of them had gone to the trouble
of writing him at length. Others had
parted with good money in sending
kilograms. These bad investments
now mock the liberal spenders and are
anything else but balm for sore toes.
Then those resolutions were wasted,
too. And that is another unfortunate
reminder of the. high hopes that were
based on sand
wait and see II he hops back" Is
the way an observation-disclosures ex-
pressed it, and this about sizes up the
situation from that viewpoint. II has
been pretty we'll known locally that
Senator Taylor was due to somersault,
and his activity in this respect did
not cause overwhelming surprise.
Issues are so finely drawn that FER
sonal influence is negatived, and for
this reason the position taken by any
one politician is not the cause Of
worry.
In slamming the Patterson hopes to
he ground Senator Taylor gave out
he following interview from Wash
ngton:

ow that the Democracy Of Tennessee

adage that it is the hit mastiff tbaA

their flimsiness and in some instances
the malice of the executive.
Further, Gen. Gates says Governor
Patterson charges me with being q

this heinous charge plead guilty, al.
though it did not render me most
offensive and obnoxious, to his royal

The Unslain Bear

1t was October, the weather was
glorious, and on the hillsides the
gold and crimson tints of the cotton
woods glowed like the soul of a sun
set against the background of deep
green frs. Down in the valley of the
Cache creek the smiling goldenrods
fringed the stream and the daisies
looked up with frightened, starry eyes,
for they had been running riot all over
the banks. where the gay gaillardias
in fluffy skirts of yellow were blowing
kisses to the wind. In the curved
arms of the hills high wooded hollows
nestled serenely at rest; lazy clouds.
like giants in repose, floated across the
sky, and tender light of glory touched
the spot where the river wended away
in the west, with fall on fall over
mossgrown boulders, singing song of
gladness to the stones.
Mounting a cayuse-one of the native
Siwash Indian ponies of the country
/ rode out from camp to try to pick
up a brace of grouse for supper. At

fort on any hunting expedition is
largely dependent upon the faithful
ness and skill of the man who leads
you to the game. He must know every
trail in the country, be an expert
woodsman, a good packer and cook, and
a keen sportsman to boot Then he
must know how to make camp, to cut
a pine bough bed-not necessarily of
pine boughs, for spruce and tamarack
are preferable-but fragrant and
springy as down. He must also be a
good outfitter, able to throw a "dia-

little beasts Of iron sinew and an in
telligence that is a jewel. What pack
ponies do not know about the British
Columbia mountains and their own par
ticular calling that might in any way
relate to their own advantage is not
worth knowing; but they have, alas,
one or two little tricks that do not
always meet with a strangers ap-

themselves out unconscionabIy while the
cinch is being frightened, with a subse-
quent collapse that threatens to turn
your saddle round, or pause to eat a
morsel of fern just when the trail is
narrowest, a mere shelf on the sheer
