Charge Against Mrs. McItee, Again
on Trial for killing Garland.

OpelOusas, La, March 2I.-WheM
Mrs. Zee Runge McRee was brought
to trial to-day for the second time for
killing young Allen Garland, tn"
charge against her was changed from
murder to manslaughter. This an
nouncement was made by the prose
cution after the defence announced
that it was ready for trial on the
Indictment as drawn. The jury in
the first trial was unable to agree.
Selection of jurors out Of panel of
three hundred veniremen was begun
this afternoon, and before adjourn
ment two had qualified. \ night
session was held.
The changing of the charge from
murder to manslaughter removes the
accused from the possibility of death
on the galloWs, but subjects her to
thy maximum penalty Of twenty
years in prison and fine Of $4,000,
in the event of conviction Of man
slaughter.

Warehouse Burned.

At 1:20 o'clock Monday afternoon,
the warehouse owned and managed
by Mr.. John Cart of this city, was
discovered to be on fire and within
a short while the entire building was
ablaze. The arrival of the depart
ment followed immediately after the
alarm but the fire gained rapid head
way and the building is practically
a complete loss. The warehouse was
located on the siding of the A. c. L..
just to the rear of the cotton mill
of the Orangeburg Manufacturing
Company and several hundred bales
of cotton were stored therein. The
building had only recently been en-
larged for the accommodation OF
more cotton.
AS the building was almost entire
ly enveloped in flames when the de-
partment arrived the origin of the
fire could not be stated.
There were about 400 bales of cot
ton in the building, the greater part
of which will be total loss.
The alarm was sent in from Box
As and in three minutes after the
alarm two streams of water were
being played on the flames by the
fire department of the Orangeburg
Manufacturing Company.
Mr.. Cart when seen this afternoon,
stated that there was insurance to the
amount of $4,000 on the cotton
stored in the building and the insur-
ance on the warehouse is $1,000.
He also stated that the loss on the
cotton would be considerable unless
the salvage corps reached the city
at once. A long distance call was
put in for Columbia this afternoon
.ad efforts will be made to have the
corps reach the city this afternoon
in order that they may get to work
at once.
Just a little more than year ago
this same building caught fire about
the same time Of day and was par
TALLY destroyed. There was con-
siderable amount of cotton stored
there at that time and much OF the
cotton was lost.-Orangeburg Even

Farms Run by Electricity.

The application of electricity to
agriculture may solve the labor prob
lem of the American farmer, says
Current Literature for October.
Farms run by electricity are no
longer a novelty in Europe and Can
ada. The Southern Electrician re-
prints the report of the chairman of
hydroelectric commission recently
sent to Europe in search of informa-
ton for the Ontario government,
with the object of extending the use
of the electricity generated by Nj
agara Falls to Canadian farms. At
an electrical exhibition in Munich the
representative of the Canadian gov
ernment remarked a model farm
fully equipped with electricity, and a
practical demonstration of electric
ploughing, where from twenty-five
to thirty acres were being ploughed
with one plough per day. In prac-
tically all European farms electricity
seems to be largely and extensively
used on farms of from 23 to 200
acres for threshing, cleaning s.'ain,
chopping, root-cutting; saving wood,
pumping water. milking, cream-sep-
arating, butter-making ironing and
lighting. AT municipal farm at
Berlin" the Canadian expert goes on
to say. "over four hundredhorse
power is used. While We found that
the cost of supplying power and light
was higher on the whole than it will
be with us. the cost of distribution Of
electricity to the farmer is less, as
they do not live on their farms as in
Ontario, but are grouped in villages.
Electricity from an economic stand
point should be Of greater value to
our farmers, as wages are from fifty
per cent. to one hundred per cent
higher, and even at that farm labor
is difficult to procure" This state
ment also applies. no doubt, to condl-
tions in the United States.

Governor Blease Urged Once More
to Appear.

As the old saying goes Governor
Blease should either put up or shut
up. TO the charge Governor Blease
made against them in his NeWberry
interview, that they were white
washing their friends and deyotinS
their time to attempting to find
something to dscredit him and his
administration, the dispensary in
vestigating committee made reply
late Friday afternoon.
After receiving the governors
refusal to appear before the COM
mittee and submit his proofs and
evidence, which he says he has and
of the governors refusal to turn
over the Fielder letters, the commit
tee says that the governor can
hardly be serious in his statement
that the committee is attempting to
'Whitewash. .
They recite the governors repeat
ed refusal to assist the committee,
but renew their invitation to him to
come forward and give out what he
knows. The committee is attempt
ing to probe without fcar and with
out favor. TO this end the commit
tee invites any citizen of South Caro-
lima, who has any knowledge of any
one who has had criminal or un-
questionable connection with the late
dispensary, or who suspects any one
of any knowledge of unlawful acts
to come forward and assist the COM
mittee in probing into every thing.
Governor Blease is included in this
invitation and the committee states
that they would be very glad to have
the governor present any proof or
evidence he may have. The show
down" has come and the committee
issues the invitation broadcast.
Their next meeting will be on
April 3, at II a. M, in the State
house library, and any one who can
throw light on the dispensary mat
ters is asked to be on hand then and
be ready to give the committee his
information. The investigation IS
going to be thorough and will be
without favor was statement
which sums up the attitude of the
committee.
Governor Blease should be on
hand and tell what he knows about
the old State dispensary or the Ansel
winding-up commission if he knows
anything He owes this to the State,
to himself and the men he has charg-
ed with wrongdoing. If he does not
make good his charge, the people
will come to the conclusion that he
was talking through his hat when
he made them. The committee gives
him every chance to proves his
charges.

CONSUMER PAYS IN END
For Higher Wages Given to stop
Lawrence Mill Strike.

Boston. March 24.-The great
Lawrence strike, which brought IN
its train increased wages for 275,-
900 textile workers in New England,
was officially declared off at all the
mills in Lawrence to-day, having ac-
complished its purpose, in the opln-
ion of the leaders.
In this connection it is generally
believed. too, that advances in wages
or reduction in hours to paper mill
employees. bagging and burlap work
ers, machinists and operatives in
other industries are all traceable, di-
rectly or indirectly, to the movement
which had it's origin in Lawrence.
The total number of persons thus
to be benefited is considerably up
ward of 100000. Advances in the
price of WOODEN and cotton goods,
which have been made or which are
in prospect, will probably place upon
the ultimate consumer much Of the
burden of the additional cost to the
textile manufacturers. This will ag-
gregate between $40, 100000 and
100000 during the next year, If
is estimated. Mill agents in announc-
ing advances in prices have frankly
said that the upward trend is the re-
suit of wage advances.
The rise in the price Of cotton
goods. announced up to the present
time, is comparatively small-a frac-
ton of a cent a yard in most cases
but selling agents predict that the
net advance to the retailer may ulti-
mately reach two cents a yard. Some
increased prices also have been quot
ed on WOODEN goods and dealers
freely predict higher prices for next
season.
New Bedford, where the manufac-
turers of the finer grades of cotton
goods have refused to accede to the
demands of their employees for an
additional 5 per cent, has displaced
Lawrence as the centre of interest
in the textile situation. Unless the
mill-owners give the increased de-
mand within a few days, it is feared
strike of from $4,000 to 10000
operatives will follow. While an in
crease of ) per cent has been offered
the New Bedford operatives are in
sistent that they receive ten per
cent Secretary Devoll, of the Man
ufacturers' Association, has promised
them that the mill-owners will de-
eide early in the week whether this
will be granted.

GO rods from the farm house is the

Farquahr conceived the idea of con-
ducting the rain water from the roof
of the church into large reservoir
which he would construct in the field
nearby. From there the water is
piped under gravity pressure to his
house, thus affOrding bountiful
supply for the purposes named. All
the church trustees require is that
the conductor pipes on the church be
