LEXINGTON MAKING BID
FOR LUTHERAN COLLEGE
Has Instituted Campaign to Raise
Funds as Inducement to Secure
Institution.

Lexington, Feb. ia 'whirlWind
campaign" has been launched for Sc
curing the new Lutheran college fer
girls, the establishment of which, at
some point in South Carolina is now
a certainty. No stronger committee
has ever been placed in charge Of any
undertaking than that named to place
the matter before the people of the
town and the county and later to go
before the committee in charge OF the
location of the school when it meets
in Columbia March 5, next. This COM
mittee is composed Of the following
gentlemen: Rev. T. S. Brown, pastor
of st. Stephens Lutheran church; W.
P. Roof, we'll known merchant bank
er and cotton mill PRESIDENT; H. N.
Hammer, D. F. Efrd, Julian P. Meetze
and B. Heber Barre.
Lexington is the logical place for
this college to be located. Lexington
is nearer the centre Of Lutheranlsm
than any other point in South Caro-
lima. 1t is said that between 20 and SO
lutheran churches are within radius
of 12 miles of the court house, which
within itself, should go long way in
Lexington's favor when the matter
comes up for final action.
It is learned that a large tract OF
land, will be offered the college to-
eether with several thousand dollars
in cash.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The report OF
the eleomargarine subcommittee, OF
which Mr.. Lever, of South Carolina,
is chairman, has been made to the
committee on agriculture in the form

resentative Lever, and to which he has
given considerable study.
For a month or more the sub-com-
mittee has held constant sesslons-at
the commencement of which Mr.. Lev
er's suggestion of open door meetings
was adopted. Both the butter people
and the eleomargarine manufacturers
have had occasion to offer suggestions,
and the Lever bill, as reported, has
been augmented by some of these sug-
gesticns which the subcommittee has
seen fit to accept.
Mr.. Lever in submitting the report
Of his subcommittee just what the
bill intended to do and occupied more
than an hour and half in going into
details. He is quite hopeful of un-
animous favorable report from the
committee on the 2Sth instant, the date
set by the committee for final consid-
Grafton of the question.

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.
Cnited States Supreme Court Can't
Bar Them-Question Purely
Political

Washington, Feb. 19.-Only congress,
and not the supreme court of the
United States, may object to the 1nl-
tiativa and referendum method of leg
islation in the State, so the court itself
decided today.
That tribunal held that the ques-
ton of whether a State still maintain
ed the republican form Of government
guaranteed by the federal constltu-
ton after it adopted the initiatiye and
referendum method was a political
question for congress and not a judi
cial one for the courts.
The decision was based On the claim
of the Pacific States Telephone and
Telegraph company that tax upon It,,
imposed by the Initiative and referen-
dunn in Oregon, was unconstitutional.
The initiative and referendum proVis-
ions in Missouri, California, Arkansas,
Colorado, South Dakota, Utah, Mon
tana, Oklahoma, Maine and Arizona
hung in the balance. An adverse de-
cision would have affected proposed
legislation of that character in many
other States.

WINDS DRIVE FLAMES
ON PATH OF RAYACE
DISASTROUS FIRE SWEEPE HOUS-
TON, TEXAS.
Thousand Homeless s-Suffer Sting Of
Cold, Homes Having Been De.
strOyed.

Houston, Texas, Feb. 21.-In the
wake of the most most destructive ire
in the history of Houston, smouldering
wreckage tonight covers an area about
one and a half miles in length and
varying in width from 200 yards to
half a mile, in the northeastern Sec
ton Of the city. More than a dozen
of the city's most important industrial
enterprises are in ruins; 200 or more
dwellings and store buildings are Id
ashes and approximately 1000 persons
are homeless. The most conservative
estimates is that the monetary loss
will reach at least 100000. The ia
surance carried will not exceed 40 per
cent. No casualties attended the fire.
Buffalo bayou, a marrow coffee col.
ored stream, was the scene Of the bat
tie royal against the flames. Here,
after the fire had swept on, with
scarcely a semblance of control, four
hours, the fremen made desperate
stand, and although the fire leaped
the bayou at places, the conhagrat1on
was checked.
The Beginning.
The fire started early this morning
in a two-story frame structure near
Hardy and Ohelouses stre5ts, and
spread to a feed store. Then it jump
ed simultaneously to three more frame
boarding houses and the roar of the
flames on a 35-mile northwest wind
began to be ominous. The Star and
Crescent hotel, brick structure, next
caught.
From that moment the fire seemed
beyond control. Driving ahead with
frightful rapidity, it swayed from side
to side and tongues Of sparks some
times seemed to reach out three blocks
aheaa, all the time Sdt1uS sIo1oAiy ~ .
ward the more thickly populated Sec
ton of the city across Buffalo bayou.
At times bolts of fame would be-
come detached, lighting on houses
perhaps two blocks distant and firing
them. A score of times women had
lust time to seize their babies and dash
madly to the streets.
With hundreds it was race for lie,
and these made no effort to save
property.
AS the flames advanced a perfect
army of night-clothes clad men, Wo-
men and children formed and dashed
on and on, being driven from the place
of refuge to another by the progress
of the flames. Cool heads, finally rea-
lizing the danger, assumed charge OF
the situation, and in short time COM
pelled refugees to go to the rear OF the
destructive flames. ... - ..,

Prosperity, Feb. 22.-The patriotic
exercises held in honor of Washington
at the school house Thursday were
| quite up to their usual high standard.
Many parents and friends listened
| with pleasure to the songs and stories
rendered by the children. Though the
l'theme of the afternoon was not new,
the way in which it was handled made
| it more than usually interesting. The
| teachers deserve a great deal of credit
| for their painstaking effort. Prof. Der
rick, of Newberry college, added great
ly to the occasion by his thoughtful
talk on "The Life of Washington" :"
This address was planned especially
for small children, and it did not fall
upon deaf ears as was evidenced by
the undivided attention which they
gave On today the children will en-
joy holiday.

returned from Teachers college, Co
| lumbia university, where sheShas been
taking a special course mart and

her former pupils and touched on the
following subject: First she contrast
ed the children of New York city
with Southern children, then told of
her visit to Ellis Island. Told all
about how immigrants are treated at
Uncle Sans free hotel, how future
American citizens look upon their ar
rival; how long it takes them to take
On prosperous American air. How they
are sent to their destinations or taken
in tc V by their friends, who have pre-
ceded them to this land of the free,
so full of promise to those of Europe
who are denied the privilege Of re-
public.
On Sunday last the sad news reach
ed the city that Mrs. Caroline Cook
had answered the summons to high
er court. For number of years Mrs.
Cook had been partially blind, but
this affiction only served to lend ad-
ditional amiability to her disposition
and to endear her to her neighbors.
Her patience and cheerfulness made
her an object lesson for miles around:
She made her home with her son, Mr..
Ben Cook. The funeral services were
held Monday afternoon at Colony
church, and many sorroWing friends
from far and near came to pay a last
tribute of respect to her memory.
