TRAIN SAVED BY BOY.
Young Wrecker Repented in Time to
Prevent Terrible Wreck.

Eleventh-hour repentance by boy
averted wreck of an express train
bound from Kansas City to Chicago,
at a tretle near Holt, Mo-, this week.
Roscoe Townsend, the boy who did
not repent, was 80 furious when his
chum, Walter Carpenter, appeared
with the posse that, instead Of sur
rendering when called on to do so, he
showed fight.
"Sure, meant to wreck the train, "
he said, pointing significantly at a
big iron crowbar and chains that had
been used to fasten it to the tracks.
"a lot of passengers would have been
killed, and then intended to rob
the ones who were dead in the Pull
mans. They would have had the most
money
He was taken to Holt and locked
up. Carpenter, as a reward for his
action in saving the train, was re-
leased. Both are the sons Of farm
ers. When the posse reached the
trestle young Townsend had just fas-
tened the crowbar to the tracks with
chains. Those who saw the way the
work had been done say the obstruc-
ton certainly would have sent the
train into the TaVine.

Don't Delay Tariff Revision.

We fully agree with the Spartan
burg Journal that "the Democrats
should carefully avoid any semblance
of complaisance with Mr.. Taft's idea
that tariff revision other than the
passage of the Canadian reciprocity
at the extra session "might destuTb
business" President Taft would nat
urally prefer to postpone all further
notifications Of the tariff = except
the proposed Canadian agreement
until the present or a larger and more
generously empowed tariff board
shall have made reports on some of
the most faulty schedules.
"But the people are not in a mood
for delay in tariff revision. They
want Canadian reciprocity, but they
want still more slashing Of some OF
the most outrageous duties imposed
by the present law. 1t is the pros
pect of more general revision, rath-
er than that of Canadian reciprocity,
that has created unusual interest in
the extra session. It is up to the
Democrats to show their hand on the
tariff. They have come into power in
the house through the betrayal of the
people by the republicans. The house
that will meet in extra session April
4 will be the same house that will
meet In regular session in December.
There is no need FOR delay. And
If the policy announced some time
ago by Speaker Clark prevails, there
will be no delay. The new speaker
declared that if there should be al
extra session the Democrats would
proceed to cut out the most fragrant
abuses of the existing law, that NO
preparation was needed for that task
and that there could be no excuse tor
delaying the operation. And that is
the truth. If the long tariff session
OF 1909 did not sufficiently enlighten
the leaders Of congress on the prin-
cipal "jokers" in the new law, GER
tainly the operation and discussion Of
the act since that time have made
them clear enough" AS the Journal
points out, the Democrats will make
mistake if they postpone tariff re-
vision, and the Republicans will
make another mistake if they op-
pose tariff legislation in the special
session. Nothing else is to be ex-
pected of the Republicans, as the peo-
pie have about retired them from
power, and commissioned the Demo-
Gratis to carry out such reforms as
they want enacted into law for the
benefit of the people. If the Demo
Gratis allow themselves sidetracked by
Mr. Taft or any other Republican,
they will make a mistake. The peo-
pie have commissioned them, and not
the Republicans, to carry out the re-
forms they want and they dare not
shirk their responsibility.

GOV. BIEAsE VS.. COL. FIELDER.
The Governor Says He Has Nerve
'My Dear Hub" Letters.

II Governor Cole L. Blease knows
as much about the alleged evil-doings
of Col. Thos. B.. Fielder as has been
intimated, and # Col. Fielder knows
as much Of the governors alleged
crookedness as newspaper readers are
led to infer from his published LETT
ters, there will be merry times
throughout the entire summer. Coy
ernor Blease says he has more OF the
"Ay Dear Hub" letters, and Col. FeE
der promises to write q history OF the
old state dispensary and some OF
those connected with it. Col. Fielder
will not do this If Governor Biease
signs the resolution to Investigate the
members Of the dispensary winding
up commission, but the resolution
had not been signed this afternoon.
and there is little likelihood Of Its re-
ceiving the official signature Of Mr.
Blease. Col. Fielder promises to omit
none of the details In his story, and
1t Is quite likely that the alleged deaf
ings of the 'chief Of the plunder-,
und" will be laid bare. Col. Felder's
style is 50 easy and his expression so
clear and forceful that everybody In
South Carolina will read his story.
Worse writer's than Col. Fielder have
sold their stuff for money It is to
be hoped that the public will be given
more Of this kind Of reading.

POWERFUL FIGHTERS
NEW UNITED DREADNOUGHTt
SHOW MARKED ADVANCE.
Guns on the Florida and New York
Will be Big-Construction viii
Keep 5000 Men Busy Three Years.

One Of the last acts of the last
Congress was to make provisions for
two Of the most powerful fighting
machines in the United States navy.
The limit Of cost and time Of COM
pletion of the dreadnought Florida
was extended and additional funds
were voted for the New York and the
Texas, the keel of which will be laid
in few months. Each vessel will
cost ss,4O0,OOo and 5000 skilled
workmen will be employed in the
New York navy yard for the next
three years in the work Of construc-
ton.
The Dreadnought type is one OF
very recent date. Through her alli-
ance with Japan Great Britain was
the first to learn the lesson Of all-big
gun ship, and Immediately set about
solidifying it in steel. Some Of our
own progressive navy officers had
earlier read the lesson in the war
with Spain, and plans of the .. S. S.
Feasible and the U. S. S. Possible
had been drawn and pigeon-holed.
Then when the British Dreadnought
went overheard and the type which
she embodied was revealed, there
was hurried busting off of the pig
eon-holed plan and a clamor for ap-
propriations wherewith to build the
ships.
The main battery of the new ships
will consist of ten 14-inch guns,
while the secondary battery will have
over score of fve-inch weapons.
Tie guns of the secondary battery are
intended for repelling torpedo boat
attack. These guns have range Of
fve miles and an extreme rapidity of
fire, each being capable Of firing 10
shells minute. With IL available
for a :brosdside that would mean
rain Of 18C shells a minute, which
could he concentrated on any attack
ing fotilla.
While it is inconceivable that any
notilla would have the hardihood to
make daylight attack on any vessel
of this type yet it is interesting to
calculate the volume of fire that
could be directed against attack by
dreadnought Of the New York type.
Suppose that the destroyers Of an at
tacking fotilla had speed Of 80
knots. They would then be able to
traverse the fve-mile danger zone"
in the space of ten minutes. But
in that lurid ten minutes the guns
of the dreadnought would be able to
hurl 1900 shells at her foes.
