AS HE SAW ROOSEVELT.
PinchOt Tells of His Meeting With the
Former President.

New York, May 30.-Gifford Pinch
ct, former chief forester of the United
States, was ready as ever to discuss
forest conservation problems when the
liner Arabic on which he was a pas
Senger got to her pier today from
Europe, where Mr.. Pinchot met Col.
Roosevelt shortly after the latter re-
turned from Africa. Mr.. Pinchot,
however, was uncommunicatiVe when
politics was preached and he would
not discuss the pending controversy in
which he with Secretary of Interior
Ballinger plays so prominent part.
Mr.. Pinchot alluded briefly to his
meeting with the former president.
Il met Col. Roosevelt at Porto
Maurizio, near Genoa" said the for
mer chief forester, land he appeared
in splendid physical trim. I never
saw him looking much better. 1 was
delighted at learning he will address
the congress of the conservation asso-
citation to be held the first week in
September"
at has been cabled," said one inter
viewer, that you and Colonel Roose-
welt went out into a forest and had a
very earnest conversation.
Mr.. Pinchot laughed heartily and
said:
well, that indeed is a most beauti-
full country, but there really is not any
forest about. The scenery consists
principally of olive trees
The good humor of the conservation
worker appeared sufficient to en-
holden a questioner to mention the
name of Secretary Ballinger, but Mr..
Pinchot said:
st can't discuss the matter of the
inquiry nor anything in that line. AS
matter of fact 1 have not been in
close touch with the situation since
I left here.
Mr.. Pinchot was spoken to about
the summing up by Mr.. Vertress on
Saturday in the Ballinger inquiry and
said:
"Oh, 1 read about that. Some pa
pers were handed to me aboard the
boat last night. 1 see he says I'm
a small 'possum up a big tree. Oh,
we'll" and the rest of the remarks
were lost in a peal of laughter.

sary instructions that enabled him to fin
ish with a lead of Is feet AS soon as

Saturday night. the police have learn
ed that the young man stayed in a

SWALLOWED A DIAMOND
Elephant at n. Y. Zoo Thought 1t
Good to Eat.

New York, May 3O-The authorities
at the Bronx geological gardens re-
gretfuIly admitted this morning that
Alice the biggest elephant at the zoo,
is a thief. She stole a diamond ring
yesterday afternoon from Miss Eliza
beth Morrell of Chappaqua, N. Y,
who was feeding crackers to her. The
ring which was on Miss Morrelrs fin
ger. was loose, and Alice apparently
snatohed it under the impression that
it was good to eat.
Alice is esteemed to be worth more
than the ring. and so there will be no
interesting surgical operation.

RESCUED FROM DROWNING.
Deputies Save Boys From Failing Into
Soldier Creek.

Dead drunk, too drunk to walk. it is
said, and in danger of falling into Soldier
creek and being drowned Roy Minard
and Clarence Sinms two youths, were
rescued by Deputies Judkins and Ander-
son near the three bridges Sunday.
When the officers arrived upon the
scene the two young men were in the act
of crawling along the Soldier creek
bridge too drunk to walk across without
falling off. A companion a little less
dizzy, is said to have been helping them
even at that. The boys were turned over
to their parents.

Will Not Resign Soon.

The following is from the Colum-
bia Record, of recent issue:
James F. Byrnes, nominated in the
primary of September IS to succeed
the Hon. James O'Hanlon Patterson
as congressman from the second dis
trict. will not resign his position as
solicitor of the second judicial circuit
at any date in the near future.
1t is his present intention to re-
main Solicitor as long as it may re-
main practicable to do so. Il will
stick it out for some time yet,' Mr..
Byrnes is said to have declared.
Whether he would resign in time for
Governor Ansel to have the appoint
ing of man for the unexpired por-
ton of his term, which has nearly
two years to run, or will withhold
his resignation until after the next
Democratic nominee, c. L. Blease,
shall have been seated as governor,
he has not said. 1t is understood
six or seven candidates for the posi-
tion are already being groomed.

Cubans Won't Work.

Havana, Oct. 3.-With the ap
proach of the elections on November
l, the second held by Cuban gov
ernment without American Superyis
ion-there has been perceptible q
growing hope that what remains o1
the campaign and the electoral
struggle itself may be passed with
out serious disorders.
When the campaign opened last
summer, there existed general
feeling of dependency in regard tc
the prospect of peaceful election
and this feeling was intensified as
the campaign progressed by the
continuation of the chism between
the Miguelists and Zayista factions
of the liberal party and the fire.
quency with which political meetings
broke up amid fierce fighting. Re-
Gently, however, there has been a
subsidence of excitement, and appar,
emily a disposition of the warning
factions to get together.
Another thing that seems to make
for peace is the apparent deterrni'
nation of the Conservatives not to
attempt to put out their full strength
at by-election at which only half
the members of the lower house and
municipal officers are chosen, but to
make a determined fight for victory
at the presidential elections to be
held in 1912. A report recently is,
sued by General Armando Rivas
chief of police of Havana, shows a
deplorable condition of affairs in the
capital.
So great has been the increase
of idleness and mendicancy since the
establishment of the national lottery
that General Rivas declares that
some steps must be taken to correct
the evil.
General RivaS says that ne hnds
an increase and most alarming in
disposition to perform any unsatis-
factory labor law which results large
ly from the prevailing passion fol-
Office hunting which effects Cubans
of all classes. While this rush for
Offices is going on General Rivas
saws there is a constant unsatisied
demand for skilled workmen and fol
labor of all kinds.

Bullion and Bills Stolen.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 3.-Gold bull
lion and Canadian and United States
bank notes aggregating many thous'
and dollars were stolen from the
mail room of the steamer City of Sc
attic from Skaguay, Alaska, last
night
T. Buckley, sailor mess boy on the
vessel, on whom eight gold bricks
and a large number of notes were
found, was arrested as soon as the
City of Seattle arrived to-day.
The robbery was discovered to-da!
by Mail Clerk Decatur as the steam
ship was nearing Seattle.
First Officer Thomas Johnson dis
covered the gold bullion on the mess
boy, and after a search, he found a
large number of bank notes wrapped
around the boys legs. An examina,
tion of the mail room disclosed that
almost every registered parcel on
board had been robbed.

der of Gen. Thomas H. Barry, super
intendent of the United States Mill

were withdrawn a week ago after the
''silence given Capt. Longan in the

Late this afternoon the board OF

and the entire corps was marched tc

by Gen. Barry, who, behind closed
doors, gave his several hundred
charges a heart to heart talk.
The superintendent said that as
yet he knew nothing of the case 9th

but there would be punishment fol
those whom the board of inquiry "e'
port implicated. That would come
later, after due consideration of the
findings.

hotels not complying with the act
PASSED at the last legislature upon

of more than three stories to have
fire escapes installed by October l, >,
said Commissioner McMaster, of the
State department of insurance to-day.
In Columbia six hotels are liable,
only one, the Jerome, having INSTALL
ed fire escapes. The others complain
that they have ordered fire escapes,
but have been unable to secure deliv-
cries. The penalty is 500 fine for
each day without the escapes after
October 1.
All the magistrates in the State
have been notified to proceed against
delinquent hotels.

Nothing doing about that circular
letter yet, so far as we can hear. We
are waiting patiently, however, for
something to be done before stating
as a fact that all this talk and hurrah
about having the right man and a
detective going around was all bluff,
and done for political effect. The
name of prominent citizen of BAN
berg was connected, by insinuation
and innuendo, with the issuing OF
this circular letter, and while every
body around here knows he had
nothing to do with it, still it was an
outrage to do all this talking before
the primary and then let things drop
Why, they even said they had the
right man and an arrest would be
made right after the primary. The
primary is over, but no arrest has
been made and the whole matter
seems to have dropped out of exist
ence.

At the general election next month
a constitutional amendment is to be
voted on, which provides for an ad-
ditional justice for the State Supreme
Court. This additional justice may
be needed, but we do not think so.
South Carolina has set rapid pace
in additional Offices during the past
few years, and expenses are continu-
ally growing. If there ever was a
time when retrenchment and reform
was needed in matters of State that
time is now. The people who pay
the taxes and bear the burden OF
government, will, we believe, be op-
posed to any increased expenditure
for the public service, unless it is
necessary, and with the information
we have, an additional justice is not
necessary. Our advice is to vote
against the amendment.

We take very little stock in what
the Horny man says about Senator
Tillman having lost his hold on
South Carolina politics, but we be-
lieve the Senator can never be a
candidate again, this being the re-
suit of his health. We saw the
Senator in Columbia only a couple
of months ago, and in our opinion
he will never recover sufficiently to
take part in the deliberations Of the
Senate again or for any arduous pub
lie duties whatever. We may be mis-
taken, but he seemed to us to be IN
very poor health.

Bent on Lynching Negro.

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. "a spe-
cial from Andalusia, Ala, says:
"A negro convict is being held by
a mob at the lower stockade of the
Henderson Lumber Company, near
Sanford. and will probably be lynch
ed before midnight for assaulting
and muredering the young wife of a
white farmer living near the camp.
The crime is one of the most revolt
ing that ever occurred in this county.
1t was committed in the middle of
the afternoon. The convict was cap
tured on the spot by G. O. Waiter and
Edgar Nix, who were in the woods
nearby at the time, and brought by
them to Sanford.
ION their way from the camp on
an engine, the negro Jumped to the
ground and they shot him through
the arms and caught him again, COM
ing on to Sanford with him where
they delivered him to the officers and
the mob took him from the officers.
The young woman was at home
alone, when the negro. whose name
could not be learned approached her
house, assaulted her, and when she
began screaming seized some blunt
instrument and knocked her in the
head. She lived about an hour.

child of Mr.. and Mrs C. S. Banks,
who live with the latter's parents,

The little one was about two years
old, and was playing around the
swing with it's mother The mother
went into the house, leaving the
child alone, and when she returned
she was greeted by the horrible sight
of her little one hanging from the
swing with life almost extinct.
Grabbing the child from the swing,
she endeavored to get breath into
it's body, but after a few gasps 1t
died.

A MACHINISTS IRON NERVE.
Arm Crushed, Liberates Member
With One Hand.

Florence, October 3.-Mr. Wich-
art, a machinist at the Bannockburn
Lumber Company's plant, at Ban
nockburn, near here, had his arm
caught in a planer Friday and he
was badly injured, in fact, his hand
had to be amputated, after being
brought to the Florence lnirmary.
1t is stated that with his arm
ground to pieces in the planer that
he had the courage to reach out, Sc
cure a wrench and take the machine
apart sufficiently to get his arm out
of the jaws Of the machine.
At last accounts to-day the young
man was getting along nicely.
