AGAINST PROF. HOLMES.
Laurens Man May Not be Named for
Important Federal Position.

Washington, June 5.-While it was
stated some days ago that i'm all prob
ability President Taft would appoint
j. A. Holmes of the United States geo
logical survey, as director of the new
bureau OF mines, just established. it
seems that Prof. Holmes is not the
man for the place. He seems to have
committed the atrocious crime OF
serving the public instead of the land
thieves, and abs thereby won the cor
dial dislike of that noble man. Rich
ard Achilles Ballinger Mr.. Ballinger
is watching with eagle eye every part
of the government service that offers
opportunities in the nature of lands,
ets.Jand that "etc." means a lot-and
it is evident that he has persuaded
the president that Mr.. Holmes, who
has won the admiration Of the presi-
dent and all others who have CON
templated his work without prejudice.
is not the man for the job.
The following paragraph from an
afternoon paper. in connection with
Director Newell of the reclamation
service. gives the situdtiun:
THE row between Director Newell
and Secretary Ballinger makes the DO,
sition of the former untenable should
Mr.. Baliingcr remain in the cabinet.
That the sccrctars.is not without in
iiuence with the administration is
shown by the fact that his opposition
determined the president not to name
Prof, j. A, Holmes as director of the
new bureau of mines"

namely, the plowing into the public

Says the Sumter paper on this sub

What is the use of eXpcndng money
and time on the building of good roads
ii they are to be plowed up almost as

almost all sections of the county that
the practice OF plowing into the pub

in many places. the roads are so mar

of money to build roads and the peo-
pie will not consent to a bond issue

Passengers from Grecnville and all
way stations who patronize the morn
ing train out of the Mountain city are
entitled to better Accommodations than
are afforded What is needed is n de
cent coach, instead of dirty caboose
and then the railroad people will find
out that the service thus provided will
bc pleasing not only &c La"rcns but
to the people Of Barksdalc, Gray Court
Owings, Fountain Inn, Simpsonville
and Greenvillc, and it will no doubt
have liberal patronage throughout the
year.
The Advertiser should like very
much to see the matter taken up at
once. the situation explained and an
effective appeal made to Supt Ander-
son for the proper accommodation
We do not believe he will ignore the
matter; certainly he cannot if the
towns affected will only combine their
Efforts. and go after what they want.
Will it he done? Who will now lead
off in the matter? Or rather who viii!
take up the proposition aud place it
spuarely before the railroad people?
Mr. J. III, sullivan, who has keen
appreciation of success and knows the
artiCl" wherever he sees il. furnishes
The Advertiser some interesting sta
tistiCal items as CLEANED from one OF
his farmer friends diary. According
to these figures it is shown that this
particular planter, who lives in the
Shiloh section. has sold during the
spring months $40 worth of hay. peas.
$l23; pigs, $50; COWS, 800. And the
Significant though natural thing i'm
connection with the above statement
is the fact that he has more pigs and
COWS To sell, while a portion OF his last
years crop of cotton is i'm the bonded
warehouse unsold.
The Advertiser takes this occasion
to commend the action of the Mount
VlIle High school trustees in the mat
ter OF increasing the salaries of the
teachers and authorizing the school
term to be extended from eight to nine
months for another year The Mount
vile school. with Principal William p.
Culbertson at its head. ranks as one of
the best in Laurens county.

tion renders ii practicable to make

PiersOn declared reports had reach

political pressure to use the newly
created bank system for individual
benefit, "repugnant to all principles of
good government"

system OF bank accounting as the best
aid to the state and national bank ex.
aminers. He also urged that some
system be devised whereby the true

In the matter of currency reform,
Pierson favored the European custom,
preventing the control of the banks

by giving each stakeholder, but on
vote, no mater how much stock he
held. This he thought would prevent
political or speculative control Of
banks, insure better management and
keep undesirable men out of official
positions in banks. He urged many
technical changes In the me-
reserve, re-discounting and currency
issues and demanded Of congress a
proper revision of the banking and
currency system.
In every other nation OF the world"
he said, "a banking and monetary sys-
tenn, leading up to an institution OF
discount and currency issue, has DEM
onstrated it's beneficial influences IN
keeping business conditions steady
and stable by conservatinvely control
ing the expansion of credit through its
rate OF discount and automatically in
creasing and decreasing the volume
of note issues with the requirements
of the trade"

HUNT DYNAMITERS
IN SAN FRANCISCO
Detective and Attorney for Los
Angeles Times On Trail of Men
Who Bought Explosive.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-The DO
lice OF San Francisco are almost posi-
tive that the three men giving the
names OF Leonard. Morris and Bryson,
who purchased 500 pounds OF dyna-
mite from the Giant Powder plant at
Oakland on Sept. "a; are responsible
Tor the dynamite outrages at Los An
geles, including the blowing up OF the
Los Angeles Times.
Attorney Earl Rogers and Detec-
tive William Burns who are here In
vestigating this clew, learned today
that the three men In question
anchored launch at Sausalito. from
Sept. FL to 23, and that on the night
OF Sept. %. they gave the vessel a
new coat Of paint. On Sept. 20, the
detectives learned, the three men went
to an aluminium goods store In San
Francisco and purchased two sets OF
plates bearing the name Peerless"
The next day the three men In the
launch, with the name Peerless" very
clear and distinct on the side Of the
boat. appeared at the Giant Powder
Co.'S plant. and purchased 500 pounds
Of dynamite.
Burns and Rogers are both con-
WINGED that on the night of Sept. "a
the three men again changed the name
of the vessel and possibly painted 1t
over In order to throw the police on
the scent. No launch going under the
name Peerless" Is known on the bay
and the authorities are now working
on the theory that the missing launch
Is still In this vicinity under another
name.

100000 Is Offered For
Arrest Of Dynamiters

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Oct. 4.-Un-
der the stimulus of proffered rewards
aggregating 100000, hundreds Of po-
licemen, detectives and private citi-
xens in all Pacific coast cities are
searching for clues that may lead to
the arrest OF the conspirators who
blew up the Los Angeles Times build
Ing last Saturday, causing the death
OF more than q score of persons and
attempted the destruction Of the
homes Of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis,
owner Of the Times, and OF F. ]. Zee
handlaar, secretary of the Merchants
& Manufacturers association.
Police and civil officers believe
that at least three men were concern
cd In the outrages, and the city has
placed : price 81 $4,000 on the head
Of each. The county. yesterday, vot-
every man captured and convicted,
and members of the Merchants &
Manufacturers association offered a
reward Of $4,000, Of which $4,000
has been subscribed.
Upon the assumption that at least
three men were responsible for the
explosion, the combined offers of re-
ward thus approximate almost $780,
600, figure almost unprecedented in
the annals of criminal pursuits.
The entire city Is thoroughly
aroused. One newspaper that has
been friendly to union labor, yester-
day printed first page editorial, de-
handing that, In view of the stric-
lures directed at the unions In con-
nection with the explosion, the strikes
now be called of.
The state federation of labor, which
met In convention here yesterday
probably will take action today look
ing to the appointment OF investiga-
tors, who win work In connection
with the committee named by city
officials.
Chief of Police Galloway said that
he expected to have one or all of the
conspirators IN custody soon. He ex-
pected news from San Francisco,
whence has come the most promising
clue thus far developed.
