Tillman Comes Back.

Tillman is back. For the last two
days the fighting South Carolina
senator has been receiving congratu-
lations from his colleagues upon his
return to the chamber where he has
so often been spectacular figure. In
vigor he may not be the Tillman of
old, yet he still represents the rapidly
diminishing group of strong figures
in the old school of statesmen. For
fully year his seat in the center
aisle of the senate chamber has been
vacant
Senator Tillman has undergone a
long and serious illness since his last
appearance in Washington, and it was
generally believed that he never
again would be seen in Congress.
Several months ago, however, word
came that Tillman would be on hand
when the winter session opened. He
has fulfilled the prediction. Repub-
licans and Democrats alike crowded
around his desk to shake hands with
the picturesque Southerner. He gave
a touch of the old color to the scene.

ROB BARNWELL DRUG STORE.
Nature of Articles Stolen Indicate
That Thief Was Negro.

Barnwell, Dec. 14.-The drug
stores of R. A. Deason and G. N.
Burckhalter were entered and rob-
bed last night by an unknown per-
son. At Deason's the miscreant stole
about S36 in money but an inspec-
ton of the stock fails to reveal that
anything else was stolen. Nothing
has been missed from Burckhalter' 8
except two cheap razors, some CO.
logne, deck of cards and 40 cents
in money. If this last can be taken
as a clue to the race of the thief, he
is evidently a negro, for with the
money and cards he can get in a
game of "skin," and after "cleaning
up his oponents, can perfume him
self and attend hot supper, where,
with his two razors, he can indulge
the negro's inherent desire to "carve"
other negroes that dare to cross his
path. These two robberies make five
attempts in the past few weeks on
Barnwell stores.

Needs Larger Amount.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Logan Wal
ler Page, director of the federal bu-
reau of good roads, in his annual re-
port to the secretary of agriculture
asks for an additional $4,000 in the
appropriation for the next fiscal year,
so as "to broaden the scope of the
advisory, lecture, object lesson and
experimental work of the bureau"
This years appropriation is almost
s15O,00O.
AS result of the investigation now
being made, Dr. Page expresses the
belief that there will be a com
plete reorganization of the present
system of road administration
throughout the country" He says
that a compilation now being pre-
pared indicates that there are ap-
proximately 10000 officials in the
United States.
To demonstrate standard types of
road construction, to introduce new
methods, to experiment with new ma
terials and to instruct local officials
in proper methods, the report says,
roads were built in 50 places during
the past year and much original re-
search work was done.

Reward for Missing Sergeant.

Union, Dec. 14.-A reward of 5000
has been offered for the apprehension
and return of c. B. Gregory, formerly
police sergeant, who recently disap-
peared, leaving the city short s424.50
and the police department deficit of
$235.
This action has just been taken by
the city council and every effort is
now to be made to capture Gregory,
who left for parts unknown about No
vember 30. At that time claiming he
was going off on other purposes, the
next day it was discovered that he
had left a note to his wife saying he
was leaving and an investigation was
made showing his defalcations.
In addition to the shortage in city
and police funds it appears that ne
had also forged several checks, one
with the name of H. H. Hicks and an
other NJ. H. Evans, chief of police, to
a check for $25.
It is also said that he has numerous
creditors from whom he secured cash
as we'll as goods, among them being
a loan of $1O0 from Marvin Charles.
Another a $50 note, which had been
endorsed by several citizens. Besides
these he left several merchants with
checks for $40 each, which are en-
tirely valueless, bought shoes to the
amount of SIS from two concerns
and on the night before he disap-
peared and before it was known or
suspected that he was short in his &C
counts suitcase from another con-
Germ.
Gregory is described as man five
feet IL inches tall, weight ITS to 1SO,
black mustache and hair, rather bald,
a small x mark on cheek. He leaves
here a wife and two children.

the applicant hailed,
1t was not long before the oppor-

ACCIDENTS ON RAILROADS.
Many Lives Lost on the Railroads il
This State.

Twelve more persons were killed
by the railroads operating in South
Carolina this year than last year,
according to. the reports that have
been filed with the railroad commits
sion by the officers of the various
companies for the year ending June
80. The reports filed show that 80
trainment, passengers and tresspass-
ers were killed during the year as
compared with 70 last year.
The reports also show that over
500 more persons were injured this
year. The number of persons re-
ported injured was 1926, as COM
pared with $40 last year. These
statistics will be embraced in the
annual report of the commission to
the general assembly which is now
being prepared. Reports received
throughout the year from the va
rious sections of the State would in
dicate that many of the 80 deaths
were caused by the dangerous grade
crossings. Few people were killed
in wrecks in this State last year.
The policy of the commission is to
work for the elimination of grade
crossings, and a section of the an
nual report will be- devoted to the
matter. The commission will ask
that grade crossings be placed en-
tirely within the jurisdiction of the
commission.
The section of the report of the
commission dealing with the incomes
and expenditures of the various rail-
way lines of the State is soon to be
announced

MEAT HIGH IN PARIS.
Sold on Hoof Now at Nearly Double
Ten Years Back.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.


PARIS, June 80. 1911.
Some curious and uncomfortable facts
are shown by statistics now published
concerning the rise in the price of meal
of late years in Paris. Generally speak
ing. all meat costs now as much alive as
it did not long ago on the butchers
counter. Beef is quoted at about 80
cents the kilogram Of two pounds and
an eighth, veal at 81 cents, mutton at
80 cents and pork at Al cents. which
are about double the prices of ten years
back. The syndicate of the Halles has
sent a circular to stock breeders and
large dealers, and the answers to the
questions contained are instructive.
The reason of the increase appears to
be the large and regular purchases Of
stock by German. Italian and Spanish
agents in the provinces. The brokers
representing foreign houses buy up cat
the temptation is too great for the farm
ers to withstand. and the Germans also
buy large quantities Of dead pork direct
ly from the breeders without 1t ever
coming on to the market. One corre-
Spondent writes: Cattle will be scarce
this year. and more so next, for the
breeders have sold almost all they could"
and another says, "At some of the fairs
Of Courtenay and Montargis there are
now thirty COWS where there used to be
100. Many buyers choose specially cows
about to calve."
