ARRESTS IN G.. AND w. C. STRIKE.
Men Charged with Assault and Bat
tery-Cause of Strike.

Augusta, Ca, Feb. 24.-As a re-
suit of attempts to pull negro fire.
men off two passenger trains on the
Charleston and Western Carolina
Railroad, and other acts of violence,
four members of the local brother
hood of fremen and enginemen were
arrested here to-day on county war
rants charging assault and battery.
The men, who were released tonight
on bonds of $500 each, are Harry
Cary, chairman of the strike commit
tee; T. NJ Vaughn, an official OF the
Brotherhood; Harry Page and Thom-
as w. Price.
Special officer Matthews, while
coming into the city to-day on the
Spartanburg train, was struck in the
stomach by a piece of iron thrown
from a crowd gathered at the Lom-
bard Iron Works. Examination
showed that his injuries are not Sc
rious. Police later dispersed the
crowd by firing their revolvers in the
air. It was stated tonight by Of
ficials that no further trouble is an
ticipated.
The strike, which went into ef-
feet Thursday evening, grew out OF
the demands of the white firenen
that they be given equal rights with
the negro firemen. They charge that
the negroes are given all the best
runs. Some of the negroes, did not
strike, and those who did went out
in sympathy with the white flremen.
There are SO negro and 16 white fire.
men employed on the road. No
freight trains have been operated
since the Inauguration Of the strike.

Worth the Money. =

General Sherwood, author OF the
dollar-a-day pension bill, thinks the
opposition to that measure unreas-
enable. The opposition, he thinks,
might profit from this story:
A recently married couple and a
friend were travelling by train when
they were suddenly plunged into the
darkness of a tunnel. There was no
light in the carriage and when they
abruptly returned to the daylight the
bride and the bridegroom were
caught in the midst of furtive KISS.
The friend was dreadfully embar-
rassed, and to cover his confusion ne
said the first thing that came into
his head.
"That-ah-that tunnel cost S2,OOO,-
O0O."
The bridegroom nodded his head
wisely. 1T was worth it, he said.

Sand Drifts Blockade Texas Roads,

Galveston, Tex, Feb. 24.-South-
ern Texas, or what is known as the
Brownsville country, experienced the
severest sand storm in it's history yes
terday and traffic on the St. Louis,
Brownsville and Mexico Railroad was
blocked for many hours.
The sand was piled from eight to
twelve feet deep at points along the
line and trains could not buck the
packed dirts, especially near Kathe-
rine, where several trains were held
up until an army of men cleared the
track so as to permit the operation
of trains under a slow schedule.
The terrific wind storm, which
blew for nearly twenty-four hours,
carried millions of cubic yards of
sand.

FIGHT DUEL IN CHURCH.
African Methodist Pillars Sing Doxo-
logy, Then Shoot.

A'ASSAAOSA>SS >A>~~~S
logy, Then Shoot.
Washington, Feb. 23.-With the
Vermont Avenue African Methodist
Episcopal church, between @ and R
streets, for a battle ground, John
Brass and Robert L. Porter, two of
the church pillars, fought bloodless
duel with pistols shortly after the
early morning services yesterday.
Many of the congregation we're still
in the edifice and several parted the
belligerents before harm came to
either
A passing policeman, startled by
the reports of the weapons from the
house Of worship, arrested the princi-
pals and three other church mem.
bers, All were taken to the Eighth
precinct, when Porter and Brass were
charged with having carried conceal
ed weapons and also with disorderly
conduct. The others were charged
with having acted disorderly.
Bad blood had existed between
Brass and Porter for some time, ac-
cording to friends of both. Yesterday
they went to worship armed with re-
volvers and took active part in the
service. A few moments after the
singing of the doxology one jostled
the other. Both wheeled and drew
pistols. Both fired at about the
same time. Both bullets went wide
of their marks, however, and tore
large holes in the ceiling. It is
thought that it will take about SIS
to repair the damages.
The detonation startled the depart
ing members. Few halted to see what
was the matter, the majority rushing
from the place panic-stricken.
When the policeman arrived James
S. Burke, Lane Daw, and Mary Slid
er were engaged in a verbal alterca-
ton with the principals. They de-
clared, after their arrest, that they
had only mediated between the
belligerents.
The prisoners were taken to the
United States branch of the police
court, where they were released on
bond for their appearance in court
this morning.

TWO STORMS THIS WEEK.
Probably Only Rain. in Southern
States, Says Bureau.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Two storms
of rain or snow, or both, are pre-
dicted to cross the country this week
by the weather bulletin.
A disturbance, central to-day in
the Southwest, will advance to the
Ohio valley on Monday and move to
the St. Lawrence valley. 1t will be
attended by general precipitation
over the Mississippi valley and the
region east, the precipitation being
in the form of rains in Southern, and
snow in Northern States.
This disturbance will be followed
by a change to colder over all dis
tricts east of the Rocky Mountains.
but it will be of short duration and
it is possible that rising temperature
will overspread most of the West by
the middle of the week.
The next general disturbance to
cross the country will appear in the
far West on Wednesday, cross the
Middle West about Friday and the
Eastern States near the close of the
week. 1t probably will be attended
by rains, although SHOWS are likely
in Northern States.
Generally fair weather with mod
crate temperature will prevail dur
ing the week on the Pacific slope,
with the exception that rains will set
in over the North Pacific States on
Tuesday or Wednesday.

LAGRANGE, Ca, Feb. 24.-Presi-
dent William F. Brown, of the South
ern Female college, returned here
this afternoon from Atlanta and pre-
sented his resignation at called
meeting of the trustees of that insti-
tuition. 1t was accepted and the Rev.
A. B. Vaughn, pastor of the First
Baptist church, was elected president
of the college, to succeed him. In
his statement to the trustees, Mr..
Brown disclaimed any wrong or i'm
moral conduct on his part, while in
Atlanta
The father of the young woman
arrested with Mr. Brown went to At
lanta and brought his daughter home.
Mrs. Brown, wife of the college pres
ident, refuses to make any comment
on the arrest of her husband.

father was William Powell, an En-
glishman. The Seminole chief was
born near Chattahooche, Ca, in
1904. When he was a mere child
his mother fled from her English
husband, taking her son with her,
and never paused in her flight until
she reached her fathers tribe in
Southern Georgia.
Whether because her husband had
ill-treated her, or for some other
cause, Osceolas mother had a mortal
hatred of all white men, and she
made her son hate them even more
bitterly than she did. Both she and
Osceola spoke English as readily as
their own language.

Ross Crane Friday Night.

Ross Crane, the cartoonist, clay
modeler, and entertainer, will be the
next regular lyceum attraction, Fri
day evening, March 1st. Ross Crane
is no newcomer, or experiment in
lyceum work, but comes with we'll
earned reputation behind him. The
local management has been trying to
get him for several years, for he is
a man hard to get because he is pop
ular and expensive.
He will give us an entertainment
different from anything we have had,
and those who go to the entertain
ment Friday night are assured a
splendid evenings enjoyment.

WOMEN AND TIE SOCIALISTS.

A Woman's way is not the way
of the anarchist. judging by the re-
suits in Los Angeles, where the
Socialist candidate for mayor was
defeated 3 to l. Memphis Com
mercial Appeal.
The part the women took in the
Los Angeles election will go long
way toward removing the appre-
hension that woman, in exer-
cising the election franchise, would
be actuated by impulse rather than
reason. AL the features of Social
ism are alluring, especially so to
people who fail to study cause and
effect and draw their deductions
from appearances and promises
Hartman, the defeated candidate,
is a Socialist of the most advanced
type. He is the idol of that ele-
ment of CALIFORNIA; population
among whom dissatisfaction and
sedition have for so long been ram
pant. A majority of the women
who had registered favored him,
and few days before the election
his chances for election were a
little more than even. But he was
one of the attorneys for the Mona
maras, and their confession re
versed the pendulum which was
swinging in its favor He was
beaten by an overwhelming vote.
This shows that. when confronted
by the issue of law and order as
against lawIessness and disorder,
women always incline to the side
of conservation and common sense.

THE INDIAN SENSE or HONOR.

There is wandering at large on
the Navajo Indian reservation in
the Southwest Ches-chil-le-bega,
who killed a palefaee. He has
been released without bond upon
the assurance of the Indian agent
that he will be in court when his
case is called. Indeed, everyone
on the reservation says this is a
fact, and like the court which re-
leased him, we must assume that
it is. There was similar case in
the old Indian Territory some
years ago. In that case an Indian
condemned to be executed for muir
der was permitted to 60 on his
honor until the day set for taking
his life. He came in on schedule
and expiated his crime. Some of
the people who know Indians best
say they are all like this they
have honor.
And this is the race we are
orowding out to make room for the
whites!-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
