General Manager Ward Of Postal
Makes Caustic Criticism of
Competitors Rates.

In regard to the new schedule of
rates on cable letters and week end
letters inaugurated by the Western
Union Telegraph Co. recently,
George G. Ward, vice president and
general manager of the Commercial
Cable Co., has the following to say:
There are four reductions as fol-
lows /. A week end letter to be
received Saturday and delivered the
following Tuesday. this will involve
Sunday work. We prefer to give
our cable operators rest on Sun
day. We confine our Sunday bust
ness to public necessity like Sunday
railroad trains, we shall not adopt
it. There is no demand for a SER
vice of this kind: 2. A newspaper
rate of five cents word. This is
heavy cut of fifty per cent. The
purpose Is obvious, we thing that
the Spectre at Washington is re-
sponsible for it. We shall make the
same cut 8. A deferred cable let
ter. This is to be delivered two
days after it has been handed IN.
We shall not adopt it, so long as 1t
remains deferred. Ours is not de-
ferred company. Ninety-nine per
cent of cablegrams call for immed-
late delivery. Here, too. there is no
public demand for such service. 4.
Plain language cablegrams at half
rate This is not Western Union
move 1t was proposed by the post
master general Of Great Britain
over two years ago. He communi
Gated with the Commercial Gable
Co. in regards to it at that time.
We shall not adont it in accordance
with our understanding with the
postmaster general at Great Britain
entered into long ago That was be-
fore the Bell Telephone Co. acquired
the Western Union Telegraph Co.
The Western Union now seeks to
give the impression that it original

BYRNES IN WASHINGTON.
Wants Committee Assignments that
will Help Constituents.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Congress-
man-elect Byrnes is still undecided
what committee places he will try to
secure, although he stated to The
News and Courier correspondent to-
day that he would like naval affairs,
postoffices, agriculture, public build
ings and grounds, or any other that
would give him work which would
be of benefit to his home people.
If Representative Johnson, of
Spartanburg, can secure a place on
appropriations, which it is understood
he will try to get, Mr.. Byrnes may
make bid for buildings and grounds
now held by Mr.. Johnson.
Mr.. Byrnes, however, stated that
he would probably have to take what
he could get the first year, then try
to get better places hereafter.

Charleston Gets Part of Colleton.

Walterboro, Jan. 18.-The election
held yesterday to decide the question
of annexing Adams Run and Collins
townships to Charleston resulted in
a vote of 157 to IL in favor of an
nexation.
Colleton county thus loses a rich
trucking section and over a s1,O00,-
900 of taxable property. The terri
tory is about 200 square miles, has
1000 population and embraces the
entire portion of Colleton beyond the
Edisto river.
This most probably means that
Charleston will retain the distinction
of having always had the largest
legislative delegation in this State,
not dividing the honor with Spartan
burg, as recently reported. The
latest census figures will be used for
the reapportionment by the present
session Of the legislature. Charles
ton will still have eight members in
the general assembly, and one Sena-

Wholesale Arrests for Theft.

Greenville, Jan. 1S.-Wholesale
arrests were made here to-day by the
county sheriff of persons suspected
of having carried on systematic
plan extending over a year or more,
of stealing cloth from the Mills Man
ufacturing company of this city.
J. H. Fuller, so years of age and
night fireman of the mill, was ar
rested. His son, John, was arrested,
as were two negro women. Warrants
have been sworn out and served on
some six or eight other negroes.
1t is claimed that the night fireman
and his son have been stealing cloth
from the mill at night and selling it
through the negro women, as his
agents. Detectives have recovered
cloth believed to have been stolen,
from all over the county. Up to the
present over 500 yards had been re-
covered, this being practically new.
"How much more cloth has been
taken there is no telling" declared
the sheriff.

GIRL WALKING TO TAMPA.
Making Her Way from New York to
Florida, Selling Pictures, Etc.

New York, Jan. 19.-With the
hope of making her way unaided to
Tampa, Fla, Dora Harrison, a nine
teen-year-old girl, left here the other
day. She weighs 10 pounds and
hopes to cut her weight down to 135
when she reaches her destination.
The conditions were that the girl
was to start without any money ex-
cept enough to pay her way across
the ferry to Jersey City. She will
sell picture post cards on the way to
pay expenses.
From New York to Tampa the dis
tance is estimated at 1875 miles.
She is going to follow the rules pre-
scribed for long feats of pedestrian
ism by Weston, of whom she is a
great admirer.-News and Courier.

Acquitted After Third Trial.

Cordele, Ca, Jan. ia ver-
dict of not guilty was returend late
to-day in the case of w. B. and
Archie Lyons on their third trial for
the murder of M. Fleming Smith two
years ago at Jesup, Ga.
The jury was out less than two
hours and the big crowd that had
filled the court room during the
seven days trial had dispersed think
ing the jury would deliberate much
longer. Only a few persons were in
the court room when the jury came
in.
The Lyenses, father and son and
members of their families, shook
hands with each juror and thanked
him. There was no demonstration. =
This ends the Lyons case which
has become noted in Georgia. The
verdict came at the end of the fourth
effort at trial and the third actual
trial. Two changes or venue mad Deen
granted.
The killing of Smith occurred in
December, 1908. The two prisoners,
sheriff and deputy sheriff of Wayne
county were taken to Savannah for
safe keeping, such was the temper
of their neighbors. A monument
erected at the instance of women of
Wayne county stands over the grave
of the man they killed. Their plea
was self-defense. They charged that
Smith tried to shoot them as they
entered the store where he was at
work and then they riddled him with
bullets.

MILLS TO CLOSE.
South Carolina Manufacturers De.
eide to Curtan.

Spartanburg, Jan. 17.-Curtail-
ment for five weeks between April
and September, or earlier if the man
agement of any mill sees fit, was de-
cided on at a meeting of the South
Carolina Manufacturers association
in this city to-day. The curtailment
is in cooperation with the mills OF
New England. There we're present
76 mill men, representing nearly
every mill in the State. This cur
tailment, as previous ones, is due to
the poor condition of the market for
the finished goods of the mill.
The high price of cotton has moth
ing to do with the closing down of
the mills as the officials do not OBJ
ject to paying Is cents for the mate
rial if they can get fair prices for
their products.
The following is the conditioned
statement as given out by the presi-
dent, E. A. Smythe, after the meet
ing had adjourned:
"a very largely attended meeting
of the cotton manufacturers of South
Carolina was held to-day in Spartan
burg, 100000 spindles being repre-
sented. President Ellison A. Smythe
presided. The resolution was adopt
ed pledging the membership of the
association to a curtailment of five
weeks between April and September
conditioned on similar action being
taken by New England and other
Southern mills which cooperation
was assured. Or sooner, if the indi-
vidual mill found it practicable. The
only other business transacted was
the consideration of reports of va
rious committees on different sub
jects. The association adjourned
after very harmonious session."

MAY KEEP LIQUOR.
Having Whiskey for Personal Use
Not Illegal.

Holding that it is not unlawful to
have whiskey in possession for per-
sonal use, even in prohibition
county. and clearly defining the pow
ers of the act of 1909 with reference
to the sale Of whiskey. the supreme
court has reversed the Spartanburg
county court in the case of Elias
Rookard, who was convicted for vio-
lation Of the act. The opinion by
Associate Justice Woods construes
several sections Of the act which
have never before been reviewed by
the supreme court. Circuit judges
hav held that mere keeping in pos
session" by residents of prohibition
counties was against the law passed
in 1909.
The defendant was convicted in
Spartanburg county in January of
last year on the charge Of having
whiskey in his possession and was
indicted under the section of the act
of 1909, which ends: "and which if

Would Inspect Census Returns.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Feeling
that an injustice has been done to
many citizens in South Carolina and
other States, where inaccuracies in
taking the census have been charged
and where access to the original re-
turns has been refused, Representa-
tive Lever to-day introduced joint
resolution opening to inspection
original census returns as to popula-
ton. He has no desire to make
public the census figures as to indi-
vidual business affairs, but thinks 1t
is unfair to cities to refuse to amend
the census after it is once announc-
ed, and at the same time refuse &C
cess to the papers upon which the
returns are based.
In explaining his motive in intro
ducing the joint resolution Mr.. Le-
yer said: "This resolution comes as
the result of numerous complaints
from towns and cities as to their
population as shown by the census
report. This is particularly true Of
Sumter, Greenville, Orangeburg and
other places in our State and is no.
tably true of Augusta, Ga. OF course
the census figures cannot now be
changed but the principle which per-
mits the director of the census to
conceal from the public the enumer-
ators' returns-a matter of such
wide public interests wrong and
calculated to be wrongfully used.
1.-The returns should be available
for public inspection and there is no
reason which appeals to me for re-
garding them as secrets. The di-
rector of the census goes to the ex-
tent of refusing to allow member
of congress permission to see those
returns and only such resolution
as 1 am introducing and hope to pass
will give the public the light to
which it is entitled"

LIQUOR SEIZURES.
Chief Constable Makes Report of OPP.
ratiOns in Charleston.

Despite the fact that within the
last sixty days his force Of helpers
has been diminished by half, Chief
Constable Bateman, of the dispen-
sary officials, reports that his work
has been we'll up to the standard,
and that there has been no relaxa-
tion of vigilance.
He yesterday sent his annual re-
port to Governor Ansel. He stated
that within the last two months four
Of his eight helpers had left him. He
said owing to the approaching
change in the State government he
would not make a formal request for
men until he ascertains Governor
Blease's position on the dispensary
matter.
The following liquor was seized
during the past year by Chief Bate
man and his assistants from blind
tigers in the Charleston district: g.
$50 gallons of contrabrand whiskey,
S7,796 bottles of beer, 9,7S6 gallons
of beer in kegs, all of which was
turned over to the wholesale county
dispensary with the exception Of the
beer in kegs, which was destroyed.
Some of the kegs which were cap
tured had never been put on tap and
these were turned over to the dis
p nsary. It has been found that
having tapped the beer once it is
useless commercially, except to sell
on draught
During the year six injunctions
were served, by Constable Bateman,
and two convictions were secured in
dispensary cases. The fines paid
aggregated 5000. The men were
constantly busy, as can be readily
understood when it is known that
4,450 searches without warrants
were made by the men and 1900
with warrants.
"Most of my raids," said Consta-
BILE Bateman last night, resulted in
heavy hauls, as I am usually pretty
sure of a place before I raid it,
Fully $4,000 worth of contra
band whiskey and other liquor was
seized during the year, according to
the report, and this is said to over
balance the cost of the maintenance
of the constabulary force, which ex-
pense amounted to S8,359.65 for the
past three hundred and sixty-five
days.
The report then goes on to say:
During the time I have had
charge of the force in Charleston
county, which is little over three
years, we have seized $500 gallons
of whiskey, 2,191,420 bottles OF
beer and 2S,50O gallons of beer in
kegs, most of which had been pre-
viously put on tap. I have served
seventy-five injunctions and have
convicted three cases before Mr.. T.

livan's Island. News and Courier.
