The United States has been passing
through wave of reform during the
past six or eight years, that was set
in motion by Ex-President Roosevelt's
so-called "big stick" and nearly every
public Office and corporation has felt
the effects of the wave. and great good
for the people has been accomplished
by it. But we believe the signs are
good for another wave of different
character, and one that will accomplish
still more for the masses, and that is the
wave of economy that has already be-
gun to ripple in places. This will be
one of the greatest and most profitable
movements that could pass over the
country at the present time. This has
always been a wasteful nation and the
room there is for economy is astonish-
ing, as is shown by the postmaster
general when he saved eighteen million
dollars in the running of the post office
department in one year. What man
or a company makes counts for nothing
but what he or it saves is what makes
their bank account grow. Nearly
every man makes fortune in the
course of lifetime and what he has is
measured only by what he saves.

1t will require 5000, ,b60 worth of new
equipments to install additional train
service between Denver and Chicago for
this summer as announced within the
past few days by the Union pacific,
Burlington and Rock Island. The
Union Pacific will inaugurate new
train between these points on July 1s.
The Rock Island and Burlington put on
their new trains June 4.
1t will take fifteen complete trains to
maintain this daily service on the three
roads. These figures include one extra
train held in reserve by each road for
emergency purposes. The locomotives
are changed four times between Denver
and Chicago on two roads and five tipes
on third. That means that twenty-six
engines will be necessary to maintain
the service.
I The cost of the equipment and engines
alone will be about $4,000, 900. The fig
ures do not include cost of advertising
the new service, making up schedules
and dozens Of incidental expenses. The
tourist list expected this year and the
necessity Of each road making good
connections ut Denver for the West
ond East to meet competition caused
the installation Of the trains.
The Union Pacific announced its new
train Saturday. 1t will make the time
between Denver and Chicago in twenty
seven hours and thirty minutes. twill

admitted to the house committee on ex.
penditures in the department of justice
ut Washington. that he could not say
why it was that the government
had bsen content merely to collect duties
in the sugar fruads cases and had not
seized and con6scated the millions Of
dollars worth of sugar involved in the
frauds.
When Mr.. Wise specifically was asked
why the sugar itself had hot been de-
, ,clared forfeited to the government he
said:

because the policy of the government
had been determined before l became

anyone. but say that have extracted

have been concerned.
Chairman Beall said he had noticed
that women and others who tried to de.
fraud the government were usually re-
quired to forfir their imports, and he
considered it q great misfortune that
the sugar importers had not been treat
ed likewise.
Mr.. Wise, indiscussing another phase
of the sugar prosecution in New York,
said every man "higher up" who could
be reached had been proceeded against;
Il think President Havemeyer of the
American Sugar REFINING company
could have been prosecuted and convict
ed," said Nh. Wise. Mr.. Havemeyer
died shortly after the frauds were dis.
covered. Other officers of the sugar
corporation in Mr.. Havemeyer's day
were alluded to by Mr.. Wise as "mere

MAN IN A STORE.
One of Governor Rlease's Appoint

out Delay.

A dispatch from Spartanburg says
Thompson & billiards. store, on Nor
gan square, one of the largest in the
city was the scene Friday afternoon
of a fight between Magistrate T. O..
Fowler, of Reidville, and Robert G..
Gibbs, a farmer Of Swi&zer, in the
course of which, after the men had
battered each others faces with their
fists and been separated, Magistrate
Fowler drew revolver and fired four
times, missing Gibbs, but wounding
Mrs. Jones F. Thompson, a saleslady,
and breaking a showcase and a plate
glass window.
The quarrel started in arguring
over the effect Of the drought on the
crops. Mrs. Thompson had narrow
escape. The bullet struck her in the
breast, but was detected from its
course by corset stay and inflicted
only a flesh wound. 'Ihe nervous
shock is more serious than the injury.
Both men were arrested by the police
but. released under bend. Fowler
was then rearrested on warrant
sworn out by Gibbs, charging assault
and battery with intent to kill.
He waived a preliminary investi-
CATION and gave bond fer trial at the
General Sessions Court. Fowler's
excuse for the shooting Is self-de-
fence. Gibbs admits he drew knife
but says he did not do so until FoW-
Ter produced the revolver.
Fowler was appointed magistrate
at Reidville by Governor Bleasee,
contrary to the wishes of the legis-
lation delegation, who recommended
MAGISTRATE Harrison for reappoint-
ment.
