distribute Over the Country;
Don't Concentrate" Jacob
SGhiff'S Advice

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-"Distribute over

H. Schiff's advice to Jews, made public

citation of this city.
1T is true" continued the banker, that
this country yet has room, and profit
able living for two or three million more
Jews, but we don't want them to settle
where congestion will initiate against

No Danger of Collapse
Of BuiIdinu MASTERPIECES

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 1.-The alarm
that\any of the great architectural mas
terpieces IN Paris are i'm danger of col
lapse is wholly unfounded, according to
the long distance view of E. K. Morse,
president of the Engineers Society of
Western Pennsylvania, and chairman of
the Pittsburg flood commission. He has
had no little experience with floods in
the Ohio valley.
Every city between Pittsburg and
Cairo" he said, SIS flooded on an aver
age from once to thrice a year. Pitts
burg has often seen a 32-foot rise, and
Cincinnati a 72-foot rise. In 1884 1 sailed
into Marietta, Ohio. in a steamboat when
the water was up to the second floor of
every building in the main portion of the
city. Yet none of our cities have COL
lapsed. When a modest brick dwelling
will not succumb to annual floods it is
preposterous to believe that buildings
like the Louvre, Notre Dame and Pan
theon are in any danger. They are mas
terpieces of construction, so strong as to
be considered wasteful in these days.
There are no better engineers in the
world than the French bridge and struc-
tural engineers"

Kansas Is All Riqht

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-'The' cost OF living
is a secondary consideration to the peo-
pie of Kansas" said Foster Coburn, Sec
rotary OF the Kansas state board of ag-
riculture. yesterday.
Guess we'll have to plead guilty to the
charge CT doing. pretty we'll" said Mr..
Cuburn, but I don't see that the farmer
is responsible for the high prices on ne
ceesities. 1 know If working early and
late makes him deserve the prices he
gets for his products that he deserves
them and if you are willing to pay ~
cents fer Germ he would be chunip 10
sell il for 80 cents.
There must be some blame somewhere
for the high cost of living. But the
farmer has never set the price on Que OF
his products. He brings his steers - t,e
market and takes what is offered him.
If he don't do this he must take his cat
tie home again and that means Dark
rIptcy.

it. We just ride aroudd in AUTOMOBILES.

CHICAGO. Jan. 31.-Alderman Dennis

tonight an ordinance prohibiting the cold
storage men from keeping their supplies
more than 60 days. Egan dclares that
the cold storage places are used to heap

Sallie claimed that the booze WAS
the property of Wisdom Gass. q
boarder of hers, who used the same
closet she uses, and that she did NOT
know it was there until the officers
brought it to light, as Gass had s,or-
ed it while she was away working
Sallie also stated that Gass was ac-
customed to drinking ginger ale and
corn flicker" whenever he could pro-
cure it.
Gass admitted, through his attor-
ney, c. Capers Smith, Esq, that he
had stored the liquor, but only until
he could carry it in the country to his
sick niece.
AS the city could not prove that he
had the liquor stored "for illegal pur-
poses," and as the city ordinance
reads thus, the case was dismissed.
and the darky allowed to remove his
booze.

Recorders court Monday morning
We're:
Burrell Myers, assault and battery,

the attention of tomorrow's conven.
ton. In our judgment a good roads
and drainage league for lower South
Carolina ought to be formed tOmOr-
row and some definite plan looking
to the betterment Of the highway IA
cilities in this part Of the State should
be decided upon. This plan, we think,
should provide among other things
for intelligent supervision Of the work
to be undertaken and should call for
an immediate campaign for the build
ng of at least two highways by State
lid, one of these highways to bisect
he State from EOrtlI to south and
ae other from east to west. South
arolina is one Of the few progl essive
atates whore such work has not been
entered upon by the commonwealth.

COTTON CROP DETERIORATES.
Reports Show That Condition of the
Staple is Worse Than 1t Has
Been.

ItcpOrtS SnOW Ihat Condition Of the
Staple is Worse Than 1t Has
Been.
Memphis, July 10.-The CONNER
cial Appeal will print this summary
Of cotton crop conditions tomorrow:
A comparison of reports received
this week under date of July 7. with
those Of June 23 show that in the Pc
riod between those dates the cotton
crop about maintained itself in North
Carolina and Tennessee; made small
gains as compared with a normal in
Oklahoma and Texas and also de-
terlorated sharply in other States, the
cause of the deterioration being ex-
cessive and long continued rains.
Reports show that during the past
week rains were general east of Tex
as and oklahoma, making practically
the third week of continuous rainfall.
There are local exception and Ten
nessee and North Carolina have not
had as much precipitation as other
States. There are a few good re-
ports lin this, the rain territory, but
they are the exceptions and not the
rule.
"Generally speaking the fields are
becoming grassy the plant is showing
III effects from lack Of cultivation
and on the lowlands much of the
fields have been submerged and there
has been or will be some abandonment
Of acreage.
Some of the damage can not be re-
covered, although it goes without
saying that two weeks of bright
weather would work great i'm

Roads That Are Missing.

The Charleston Automobile Club
has right to feel very much graft
fled at the hearty response which has
been accorded it's suggestion that
good roads rally be held in Charles
ton. There is every promise that to-
morrow's gathering will be one of the
largest and one of the most interest
ing events of its kind ever held in
South Carolina.
That intelligent and concerted work
for improved highways in this State
is greatly needed is SO well known
that statement to that effect fails
usually to arouse the attention it de-
serves. We need concrete illustration
to bring home to us a realization of
its truth. One such illustration Is af
1orded in letters received by Col. Cos
grove from Messrs. Z. l. Reardon,
of Sumter. and II. II. Husbands. of
Florence. These gentlemen write
@' "S'"S0h Iiiiily anu lOTly auto
mobiles from Sumter and Florence
have been compelled to abandon the
trip to Charleston on this occasion
because they cannot get across the
Santee River. Mr.. Reardon says:
Il find that Sumter automobiles
were very anxious to make the trip
and we would have sent at least thir-
ty-six well-filled cars to your city If
there were any means of getting
across the Santee River and swamp
The only way in which we can get to
charleston in automobiles is to go
around by way of Camden and Co.
lumpla, which would necessitate
about two hundred miles in the round
trip additional"
After telling of the failure of ef-
forts to arrange with the railroad
people to transport the cars across
the Santee, and stating that a num-
Der OF Sumter people will come to
Charleston by train for the rally. Mr..
Reardon continues:
Charleston is unquestionably the
loser on account of the lack of faciI-
ltles whereby the Eastern Carolina
people are kept from reaching your
city by public highways. 1t see,
queer to me that in those progressive
times IT is not feasible to reach Char
lesion by automobile from Sumter.
Clarendon, Darlington and other Pee
Dee counties when there are living in
these counties today hundreds of men
and women who tell you of the trips
they used to make to Charleston so
years ago to sell cotton and to do
their trading"
1t Is easy enough to explain WHY
these roads of which Mr.. Rcardnn
speaks fell into disuse. The extension
of railroad service and the changed
methods of marketing crops and pur-
CHASING supplies tell that story. But
there Is no reason why they should
not now be reopened, put in better
shape than they ever were in the
past and used to the great advantage
or this city and Of the territory
through which they will stretch.
