State Will Borrow $50O,OOO.

The State of South Carolin will
borrow 100000 through the Pal
netto National bank of Columbia for
running expenses for this year. The
rate of interest is 8 per cent, which
- considered very low. This an
neuncement was made yesterday fol-
lowing a session of the finance COM
nittee of the State, which is COM
posed Of A. w. Jones, comptroller
general, r. H. Jennings, State treas
urer, and the governor. The general
assembly authorized the committee
70 borrow the above amount.
There were several propositions
before the committee. The Germania
Savings bank of Charleston, offered
100000 at ~ per cent. The
First National bank of Rock Hill
made an offer of a little less than
AZ per cent.
The loan will be paid back dur
ing January when the tax money is
received by the State treasurer. 1t
is probable that the loan will be re-
paid in installments of 100000. The
loan last year was placed at above 4
Der cent. The loan was handled by
Chief Clerk Carter of the Office of the
State treasurer.-TheS State, April 20

A Novel Experiment.

Governor Johnson, of California,
has signed bill providing that if
husband is sent to Jail for non-sup-
port of his wife and family he shall
be required to work on the public
roads, for which labor the county
shall pay his wife or family the sum
Of $3.50 the day.
That is not a bad idea and we ex-
pect it to be a big success in Califor-
mia. Non-providers will cease to be
non-providers when the county not
only adjudges them guilty of non
support but also sees to it that they
do support. Under the old system of
providing the delinquent provider
with plenty to eat at the county's ex-
pense, his family getting along as
best it could in the meantime, the
man in question did not care very
much what happened. In California
II will be different hereafter. We
expect that all husbands in the Pa
cifc State will hereafter turn over
their weekly pay envelopes to their
wives as they ought to do, instead of
spending their wages at the nearest
beer hall.

TWO INJURED WITH AXES.
Pair of Negroes Probably Fatally
Hurt in Drunken Row.

Chester, April 20.-What came
near being a triple tragedy as the
climax of a gambling, drunken ca
rousal among crowd of negroes has
just been reported from Great Falls.
Two of the victims are lying at the
point of death and are not expected
to recover. Another is suffering
from a wound on the leg but Will
possibly get we'll. Two are IN jail
charged with the affray and are be-
ing held, pending the outcome OF the
fight their victims are making Tor
life.
The report states that bunch OF
negroes had gathered in a negro
boarding house to play poker and
that in the game one of the players,
John Calhoun, lost all his money and
was cleaned out. He flew into an
ungovernable rage and left with
threats that he would have his money
back. Shortly he returned, accom-
panied by another negro, Tom Signer,
both armed with axes, and proceed
ed to put his threats into execution.
He and his partner charged the 9th
srs in the house and laid them out
indiscriminately. Hattie Nelson's
skull was broken. Tom Scofield re-
eeived two blows on the head with
IN axe. Bessie Harris caught a
blow from the edge of the axe, which
1oored her, and by this time the
other hangers-on had disappeared in
all directions.
The matter was Immediately re-
ported to the constable, who made a
raid and arrested John Calhoun and
Tom Signer. Bessie Harris claimed
that she had been robbed of SO in
50-cent pieces, and these we're found
on the person of John Calhoun.
The two negroes charged with the
ARRAY were brought handcuffed to
the city and lodged in Jail by Con-
stable A. D. Sanders, who made the
arrest, and Magistrate J. R. P. Glib
son, of Rossville township. Warrants
charging them with assault and bat
terry with intent to kill have been
sworn out, but these will be changed
to murder should the victims die. 1t
b not thought that two of them can
recover.

YOUTHFUL PAIR IN JAIL.
Pretty Girl Of Thirteen and Lad of
Seventeen are Held.

A pretty young girl, Miss Lillian
Reed, who says she is only a few
months past 13 years old, and a
youth of II, both from Augusta, are
held in the Richland county Jail. 1t
seems that the young man, whose
name is R. H. Watson, has been in
Columbia for several days. He and
the girl were registered at boarding
house as Mr.. and Mrs. Watson. Ev-
erything went we'll for the couple un-
til the landlady was told of the true
state of affairs. She telephoned the
girls mother. In the meantime
friends of the pair tipped them
off," They promptly moved to an
other boarding house. Chief Cath
cart was wired to arrest them. This
was done on Main street, between
Gervais and Lady, the two young
persons going to headquarters with
detective Richardson without any
trouble.
Watson endeavored to get notary
public of the city to marry them and
he consented to do so. While he went
after Miss Reed the officer appeared
on the scene and nabbed the couple
on their way to the notary's office.
Watson Indicted.
C. C. Reed, the father of the young
girl, came to Columbia and promptly
went to police headquarters, where
he secured his daughters release. The
young man was detained and turned
over to Magistrate Fowles, being in
dicted under the charge of carrying
a minor from her parents.
Sobbing as though her heart would
break, Lillian Reed, said to be mere
child in age, although she looks much
older, stated frankly to Magistrate
Fowles that she would not return
home with her father and she would
not appear as a witness for the pros
ecution should the case be brought
to trial.
Would Leap From Window.
In the midst of the excitement she
dashed for the window and would
have jumped to the ground below,
but was prevented from accomplish
ing this purpose. She tried to break
away a second time and throw her.
self out of the window.
Miss Reed was required to give
bond to appear as a witness, and
not being able to do so was sent to
jail with Watson. In Augusta Wat
son worked as a soda dispenser. The
girl said that Watson bought tick
ct and sent it to her to come to Co.
lumbia, while it is stated that Wat
son said Miss Reed followed him
here.
Last night they both spent in the
Richland county jail, and there they
will stay until some satisfactory set
tlement can be made. G. G. Reed, the
girls father, went OF Augusta last
night State, April 20.

first white children born In Iowa,
passed away Sunday evening at 9:25
O'Clock at the residence of her son,
Harry Ayres, 344 North Marion street.
Her death marked the passing OF one
of the oldest residents of southeastern
Iowa. she having resided continuously
in this part Of the state since her
birth seventy-three years ago. The de-
ceased was born in Van Buren, county

first settlers in this section OF Iowa.
Bands OF Indians roaned over

ways delighted entertaining the chill
dren by telling them Indian stories

and seemingly attended by every
farmer within a radius of several
miles, there was launched a plan, the
success Of which will put a town OF
10000 inhabitants there in fifteen or
twenty days and result in city, q
metropolis Of 100000 population In a
very few years.
The promoter of the plan is William
T. Love, a son of Judge Love, deceased
OF Keokuk and Ottumwa, who at one
time held the federal court position
now occupied by Judge Mcpherson.
Mr.. Love has made life long stud.'
OF town building, has had experience
in the promotion Of successful enter
prises and for the last eight years has
been living in Alaska where he has the
acquaintance and confidence OF the
people whose money is ready to De
invested in some safe proposition in
their home country.
The enterprise is the most stupen-
dous ever undertaken in the west. It
will require sum of money ten times
as large as required to build the Keo-
kuk dam. The plan is to make the city
one Of instantaneous growth. some
what similar to the plan followed on
Oklahoma lands, where towns of sew
eral thousand sprang into existence
in few hours.
The utilization of power to be de-
veloped from the Keokuk-
dam provides the base of the founda-
ton of the plan, added to which are
the advantages of the Santa Fe, the
ripe line. the river navigation, the
scenery, the possibilities of the great
lake furnishing the other requisites
which can be presented to holders of

growing western city.

Police 70 Find Where Relatives

Marshalltown, Jan. 30.- From far OF
England has come request directed
to the police TO ind the graves Of rela-
Itiyes supposed to have been buried
here about thirty years ago. Chief OF,
Police w. e. Nicholson has received q
letter from Mrs. Ellen Gear Of 10
Stamford street. Middlesboro, York
shire, England, in which the writer
asks that the police make m effort to
find the graves in which her uncle and
aunt, John Elfick and wife, were
buried in 1880 or 1881, The on1cer
turned the letter over to Superintend-
ent Rubee OF Riverside, who has
searched for the graves. but has been
unable to find them. In letter to the
chief OF police Mr.. Rubee says that
since 1882 an accurate and complete,
record OF all burials and graves has
been kept, but before that ting the
records are incomplete. Any Of the
older settlers who might know when
and where this couple was buried and
would communicate with the chief VI
police would probably confer favor
on the English woman who has in
quired for the information.
