EACH MUST PAY S25.
South Carolina Corporations Failing
to Make Reports in Time.

Many South Carolina corporations
failed to make their reports to- the
commissioner of internal revenue on
the first day Of March, and also fail
ed to apply on or before that date
for the extension of thirty days,
which is allowed under the law, if
formal application is filed with the
Government.
Corporations which made their re-
ports on the I'd or 4th Of March are
equally culpablg, technically, with
those which did not report until the
90 Of March. The fine provided by
the statute for such delinquency is
from $1,000 to $4,000 for each Of
fence, but the Secretary of the Treas
ury has decided that the law gives
him authority to reduce the penalty
and he announces that he will i'm
pose a fine of SIS upon each of the
corporations appearing to have Vlo-
lated the statute unintentially.

A Sweeping investigation to be Made
by Experts and Specialists In This


The announcement is made by DR..
J. LaBruce Ward that the work of
investigating and treating hook worm
in South Carolina will be materially
furthered by the recent appointment
Of three specialists in addition to the
one already employed to go over the
State and get in among the people.

work in his native place. Or. J. r.
Howell, of Kenly, n. c., will begin
in South Carolina on July l; on July
Is another goes on duty, the name
to be announced later.
These specialists will make exam
nations and seek to cdre the cases
they find. Each will be equipped
with microscope and projection Ian
tern; by means of the latter lectures
will be given as large part Of tn.
work, in this way aiming to get the
actual facts, visual facts, before the
people Of the state, especially the ru-
raj sections.
AS a further step in the system
attic stamping out Of the disease,
plans for the establishmen Of dis
pensaries for the treatment Of pa
tients comes as practical scheme
and an invocation in South Carolina.
IBeauford and Hampton Counties have
signiled to DR.. Ward their hopes Of
aiding him to begin this work in these
counties. Others will be added t.
the list. The plan is to have in each
county four or five dispensing sta
tions for medicine.
The specialists will make the
rounds Of these stations, advertising
in the county papers at what time
he will be at particularsdispensary.
He may be consulted, the patient goes
home for treatment according to dl-
rections, and in a week returns either
cured or to be recommended to fur
ther treatment until the disease IS
ompletely eradicated.
Dr.. Ward has received information
from the Rockefeller. sanitary COM
mission that at the dispensary at
Bienville, La, 81 cases were treated
the first day Of its opening. DR..
Ward states that the disease IS no
heavier there than in South Carolina.
Systematic hook worm eradication is
going on in South Carolina, North
Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Florida,
Virginia, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and Arkansas. His plan is
that the men shall move from coun.
ty to county thus covering in time
| the entire State.

PANY TROUBLE.
And Cotton Mills Forced to Close
Down on Account Of insufficient
E1ecfricitv


Because of the low water in Broad
river, occasioned by the drought, the
Electric Power and Manufacturing
Company, is having considerable
trouble in developing sufficient pow
er to serve all Of its customers with
power for manufacturing purposes.
the power having recently been cut
off at the woodruff cotton mills and
the Cowpens Manufacturing company,
Both Of these cotton mills were clos
ed down several days ago on account
of lack of power. The vacation is
being enjoyed by the operatives Of
beth mills.
Not in years has the water in
Broad river been as low as it is at
present and unless there are heavy
rains over the water shed from
whence Broad river derives its water,
the stream will become lower still
with the result that the street car
service and lighting system may be-
crippled. All of the power that is
now being developed at CASTOR Shoals
on Broad river is being used in fur
nishing power for lighting the towns
and cities that purchase power from
the company?
Broad river is not the only stream
in the Piedmont Carolina that has
reached an exceedingly low stage on
account Of the drought, for nearly
every stream in the up country IS
short of water. The city Of Charlotte
is on the verge Of water famine be-
cause of the low stage Of the water

HOLD Up FAST TRAIN
MAIL AND EXPRESS CARS RIFLED
BY BANDITS.
The Mail Clerk and the Conductor
Were Injured by Being Shot by
the Band Of Robbers

the Band Of Robbers
A fast mail and passenger train on
the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad
was held up Friday night, FIVE miles
from Erie, Pa, by band Of a dozen
masked men. The mail and express
cars were rifled and two of the crew
C. H. Blockof Erie, mail clerk aud
H. D. Rooney, of Erie, conductor.
were injured.
Block was shot in the right side
and taken to the hospital in dying
condition Rooney received serious
injuries wh:n he was hit with a store
tn OWL b: ane af :"e :'obhers.
The train was due in Erie at 1910
o'clock Friday night. = few mia-
utes before ten O'Clock when the
train was maa;ag large curve. he
engineer saw an obstruction ahead.
He applied the brakes but could net
stop the train before the engine
poles placed across the track.
When the train hit the obstruction
| it was believed by the passengers that
there had been a collision with an
other train The next moment how
ever, the crack of revolvers acquaint-
ed them with the real cause Of the
trains stop. AS the train came to a
standstill the passengers alighted to
learn the trouble. Their presence
drew the FIRE of the band and they
hastened back to the cars. An un-
known passenger caught hold of one
of the robbers and was picked up
bodily and thrown over a 300-foot
EN- mbankm ment. His condition is Sc
rious.
Almost before the train had struck
the obstruction, the masked men haG
taken up their position at practically
every entrance to the cars. When
the passengers began pouring from the
cars there were few gruff words
from the men to get back inside.
When number of the excited pas
sengers failed to take this advice, the
bandits opened fire. They shot along
the sides Of the cars, level with the
| windows and this effectively put
an end to the curiosity of the pas
sengers. Within the cars there was
| a panic A number Of women tainted
while the screams Of others caused
much confusion.
! The train reached Erie about mid
night. The passengers were badly
frightened and could not give con-
nected story Of what had occurred.
According to the opinion here, it
was not train that experts could be
expected to attack. 1t is believed
the bandits were foreigners.
Within few moments after word
of The ho1d-up was received at Erie
every officer Of the city was called
into action. Many of them boarded a
special train for the scene, while
others were taken there in altomo-
biles and other conveyances.
Late Friday night the surrounding
country was filed with men and Ian
terms, searching for the men and con-
tents Of mail bags and valuable pack
ages taken from the train.
Albert Carey, engineer, by making
quick stop Of the train, probably
prevented a serious disaster. Rail-
road men say that had the train
struck the obstruction with more
force it would have thrown the en-
tire train in the ditch.

City Delivery On Dec. |

Another important point in the
status of Glendive as city was
scored this week when the Associated
Press dispatches from Washington, the
national capital, announced that free
delivery by the local postofice would
be established in the Gate City Of
Montana on December 1st. The dis
patches say that the service will be
inaugurated with two regular carriers
and one substitute. Civil service ex-
aminations will have to be held to
secure available candidates, but the
date of these has not been announced
as yet.
Resident householders should take
pains to see that all real estate,
on which buildings stand are properly
numbered before the free delivery
service starts, SO that there will be
no interruption Of the good work.
The recent growth in the business
Of the local postof1iee has been almost
phenomenal, and attests more plainly
than mere words could do, the great
number Of new residents who have

the dead man:
early Thursday morning strange
man was found dead in a sitting posi-

just north of the Bilyeu hotel.
The city officials were immediate
ly notified, and the body was removed
to the city morgue, where an inquest
was later. held upon the arrival of
County Coroner Kinney from Glendive.
The deceased had been IN the city but
a few days as near as can be learned,
and up to the present writing his
idenity had not been known, though it
is believed that at one time he was
blacksmithing at Glendiye.
After the inquest it was as
certained that the stomach contained
bar oil, and later it was revealed-so
