IGNORANT OF IT'S MEANING.
ate Big Dinners ond Could Do No
Justice to the Spread.

The Atlanta correspondent Of the
Greenville Daily Piedmont says an
amusing incident occurred in con-
nection with the entertained Of the
international Blacksmith's Union
there Tuesday.
Many Of the brawny sons of Vul-
can come from the cold provinces of
Canada and the Northwest. Out
there people have never heard of the
word barbecue" Many of the de-
legates didn't know, and didn't ask.
They simply took for granted that
it. was some pleasant form of out
door entertainment, and in order tc
enjoy it fully-it was set for 2
o'clock Tuesday--they fortified them
selves with good heavy dinners al
their respective hotels. When they
got out to the woods and learned that
barbecue was something to ca;
their distress was pitiable. When
the odor of the meats turned and
roasted in their own juice above the
burning Goals assailed their .nostrils
their plight was still sadder.
1t was enough to provoke tears
and laughter. Nor was it a refec.
ton in any sense upon the learning
and intelligence Of the visitors fo1
barbecue" was simply "dowr
south" word they had never happen
ed to meet before. One of the gen
tlemen confessed afterward that he
thought it was a tournament, anC
another had an idea it was some
thing like a merry-go round.

BALLoONIsTs FATAL PLUNGE.
Parachute FANS to Work and He
Falls 700 Feet.

While engaged in balloon race
at the South Georgia Exposition at
Tifton, Ca, Thursday afternoon,
Capt. John Broder fell 700 feet from
his balloon and was instantly killed.
Rroder had just finished a high div
ing act, and Prof. Gowdy, an aero
naut, was preparing to ascend when
Broder volunteered to take another
balloon and race. Both balloons as
cended perfectly, few yards apart,
for a distance of 500 to 1000 feet,
when the signal for them to cut
loose was fred Broder dropped
slightly in advance of his fellow bal
loonist but in some unknown man
ner his parachute failed to fill and
he plunged to earth like shot. De-
spite Broder's fate, which he witness
ed, Gowdy also cut loose and landed
safely nearly half mile away. BTod-
er was unmarried and has a mother
and sister living at Green Lake, Wis.

FLOODS SWEEP TOWN
HOMES AND STORES DESTROYED
BY RIVERS OVERFLOW.
Although Warned Beforehand 1nhab-
itants Delay Flight for Safety Tn
til Peril Becomes Imminent.

The situation at Black River Falls
says a dispatch from Lacrosse, Wis.
which was swept by flood Frlda!
afternoon when the waters Of the
Black River, swollen by recent rains
washed through the embankment o1
the Lacrosse Water Power Company
dams at Hatfield, is worse by fal
than was even feared when the fooo
swept the town.
Half of the business section has
been destroyed, together with a part
OF the residence district, and it is
alleged by the townspeople, who have
taken refuge on high lands, that the
town will be wiped out. Whether or
not lives have been lost is yet un-
certain.
The people have been scattered,
and canvasses are being made to de-
termine how many, if any, are miss
ing. Thus far two persons have not
been accounted for. The town is in
darkness. the electric light plant
being one of the first to be struck
by the food.
At seven o'clock Friday night be-
tween twenty-five and thirty business
houses, comprising all the stores on
both sides of two streets, have been
destroyed, together with an equal
number of houses. At that hour the
waters were still rising rapidly, and
the destruction of the stores in the
other business Streets is looked for
every minute.
The buildings have not been mere
" flooded, but destroyed. The water,
flowing in tremendous volume, un-
dermined one big building after an
other. and as each collapsed, the de-
bris was carried away.
No means could be taken to stop
the wrecking of the town. The peo-
pie, although they knew Of the over
flowing of the dam, showed little
fear of it's effects until the waters
burst upon them.
The disaster was caused by the
sudden rise of the Black River, be-
hind the dams of the Lacrosse Water
Power Company, from rains which
lasted almost a week. The dams
withstood the pressure, but in each
case the river washed around the
sides, taking out big section Of the
river bank and coming down upon
the country below in almost as great
:; volume as though the dams had
been swept away.
Besides the damage at Black River
Falls, a great tract of surroundlnd
country was overrun. Effort was
made to send warnings to farmers,
but telephone wires soon went down
and the fate of many settlers who
knew nothing Of the food until 1t
struck their immediate locality is the
cause of some apprehension.
Below Black River Falls are a
number of villages and the. high wa
ters are due to strike them during
The night and next, day. Forces OF
men have been sent out to strengthen
the bridges in the three counties
along the river.

Underwood, but at the moment can
not write at greater length.
I aminterested in noting the COM
plete change of position made by
the committees from the Arkwright
club and the National Association, Of
Manufacturers, which change I take
to be consequent upon the knowledge
that it is improbable at the present
time that any legislation affecting
the tariff can be passed. In my
view this is most unfortunate, for I
believe that a failure to have facili-
litated reasonable reduction in the
tariff will lead to an uncertainty and
dullness of business for many months
to come. Very truly,

Mrs. May ". Farmer for killing her
husband, James P. Farmer. This was
the verdict of the Richland county

later the common pleas court render
ed verdict directing compensation
for the homicide.
The verdict Of $4,000 for the ben

eide was committed ''unlawfully,
willfully, wontonly, recklessly, and
ma}iciously" The defense set up a
general denial, claiming that Sellers
shot Farmer in self-defensc and in

passage of the bills that failed to get
through at the session on, notably
among them being the abolition OF

Gov: Blease spoke Interestingly OF
the Democratic chance sfor the cleo
ton of the next president and reiter-
ated his choice of Governor Harmon,
giving as his reasons that he thought
that Harmon could carry New York

together with the other sure Demo-
cratic States.
He stated that he was in favor of
winning and Harmon was the only
man, in his opinion, who could defeat
Taft. Personally, the Governo rsaid
that he preferred either Champ Clark

chance.
He explained that DR.. Parker, OF
Charleston, employed attorneys and
sought a pardon for the three ne
groes sent up for taking JOY ride
in his auto and explained why such a
pardon was granted.
When asked why he did not sub
NIT any matters to the pardoning
