rifle the safe at the union freight

TILLMAN ON WATCHOUT.
Will Endeayor to Prevent Closing
Port Royal Station.

Washington, Jan. 28.-The Port
Royal naval station is recommended
for abandonment and the govern
ment reservation for sale, according
to the naval appropriation bill made
public to-day. 1t is proposed not
only to abandon the station and sell
the land, but to move all available
property that can be moved to other
wards and stations. 1t is also dl-
rected that full report be made at
the next session of congress.
1t is probable that when the bill
reaches the senate, Senator Tillman
will take care of it there and have
the item just referred to eliminated.
For the next year, at least, the place
may be used as school for marine
officers.

JOHN j. JONES GOES TO PEN.
Abe Pearlstine's Slayer Begins Serv
ing Long Sentence.

Orangeburg, Jan. 27.-John j.
Jones, convicted of manslaughter
lust two weeks ago in the court OF
sessions here, for the killing of Abe
Pearlstine, at Branchville last De-
cember, and sentenced by Judge
Memminger to ten years and one
month at such labor as he may be
able to perform in the State penl-
tentiary, was taken to that instltu-
tion this morning. Jones said before
leaving that he had abandoned the
contemplated appeal because he was
anxious to get to the penitentiary
where he would suffer perhaps less
from confinement and get more fresh
air than in Jail. He said it was his
purpose to be a model prisoner in
the hope, perhaps, that his days OF
confinement might be shortened; that
whatever work he may be placed at
he intended to perform cheerfully
and to the best of his ability, wheth-
er his duty be Office work, the dig
ging of bitches or the breaking OF
stones.
Jones was interested in some mer-
camille business and said he had ar
ranged his affairs very satisfactorily,
some friends being charged with
looking after and closing them up if
necessary.
Mrs. Jones saw her husband just
before his departure.

FATHER FINDS BOY DRUNK.
A Fourteen-Y Youngster is
Placed on Fathers Porch.

A 14-year-old boy dead drunk,
dead to the world, and unable to tell
of his whereabouts, was the sad con-
dition of Sam McAbee, the facts OF
which were brought out in police
court this morning. Tuge Gunter,
a white boy, who claims to be IL
years old, testified that he found a
pint of whiskey and after taking a
drink of it encountered 14-year-old
Sam McAbee, who was on his way
to the night school which is con-
Quoted in the Wesleyan Home in the
Spartan mills district. This youth
was asked if he wanted drink, and
he took one.
Becoming terribly drunk, several
young men took him to his home and
put him on the front porch, only to
20 away and leave him. His mother
and father, who is Bud McAbce, a
we'll known man and one whose name
often appears on the police court rec
ord, found the boy in this condition.
Mrs. McAbee testified that she be-
lieved that he was certain to die,
and it was necessary to call in ply
sician; who worked over him for
several hours before consciousness
was restored.
The boy came near dying and his
life was despaired of for long time.
He recovered, however, and this
morning appears to be as we'll as
ever. He said that he remembered
absolutely nothing from the time
that he took the whiskey until he
recovered early yesterday morning.
Gunter said that he would not
have given the whiskey to the a.
year-old boy but that he had been
drinking himself. His father was
present in the police court at Cunt
er's trial for selling and transport
ing whiskey, and mayor Lee instruct
ed him to give his son a whipping.

President of State Negro College
Ousted by Blease.

Gov. Blease last Friday demand
ed the resignation Of Thomas E. Mil
ler, the president of the State negro
college, which is located at Orange
burg. He asked Miller to resign
within "a hours. This action was
taken without a resolution on the
part Of the board of trustees which
was in session at the time In the
office of the chief executive. Follow
ing the action by Gov. Blease, the
board OF trustees passed resolu-
ton asking that Miller resign i'm
mediately, and the negro resigned.
Gov. Blease, when asked on what
grounds he had asked the resigna-
ton of Miller, said, "Pernicious ac-
tivity in politics"
Just what the activities have been
and along what lines were not stat
ed. He further stated that com
plants had been made to him by ne
groes in the State as to the conduct
of Miller at the institution. He
would make no other statement.
The resignation of Miller will take
effect on June 80 of the present year.
This date was named in order that
the negro might have time to wind
up the affairs of the institution be-
fore turning the work over to his
successor.
The board of trustees which met
yesterday at noon in the office of
Gov. Blease decided to hold another
meeting just after the adjournment
of the present general assembly when
the successor to Miller will be
chosen.
Miller has been president of the
institution for several years and
draws salary of $4,000 year.
1t is expected that a negro, N. F.
Nix, will be named by the board of
truestees to succeed Miller.

The Little Hope of Holland.

"In the quaint garden of the two
story palace at The Hague plays
little Dutch baby" says Woman's
Home Companion for February, "all
unconscious that in her are centered
the patriotic hopes and fears of
brave nation. AS yet she is hardly
old enough to pronounce her full
name. which is Juliana Louise Emma
Marie Wilhelmina, Princess of Or
ange-Nassau and Duchess of Neck
lenburg; but she is in truth heiress
to the throne of the Netherlands;
and her birth on April 80, 1909, re-
lieved her people of the imminent
fear that their next sovereign would
be German prince, and that their
cherished land with it's splendid ira
ditions of pluck and independence
would become merely a subordinate
principality of the German Empire.
Her people know her we'll both by
sight and through gossip, and it is
an article of faith among them that
she is wholly and completely Dutch.
She is the picture of MOTHER say
the rosy Dutch vrouws, and not the
least like her father Now her
mother, the dearly loved Queen Will
helmina, is manifestly and aggress-
lively Dutch, while her father, Prince
Henry of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, had
the misfortune to be born in Ger
many! The little princess had bet
ter play while she may in the tulip
gardens, as before her are years of
hard discipline with little pleasure.
in order that she may be fitted to
hold her own in the complications Of
European politics and to emulate the
virtues of her great ancestor, William
the Silent, whose statue guards the
gate of her palace. Moreover,
Queen Wilhelmina, reputed to be the
richest woman in Europe, spends lit
tie on herself and much on the poor,
and the small princess will undoubt-
edly be trained likewise to live sim
ply and to give both generously and
intelligently"
