SECURING SPACE
 FOR AUTO SHOW NOn-Residents Are Already
 Making Applications ELABORATE DISPLAY
Expected That No Less Than Thirty Local Agency Cars Will Reserve Space at the
 Big Show

| Four nonresident automobile manu-
 lecturers have representatives in Bir- mingham trying to secure space to ex- hibit cars at the forthcoming auto mobile show which Is to be held here April 8 to 13 under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce and other civic bodies.
 Information to this effect was given out last night by E. W. Brownell. who said space would be allotted the man ufacturers in the show, which he says will be in every way successful. The most complimentary feature of the ap- plication, according to Mir. Brownell, is the fact that the companies do not maintain agencies here at this time and the news that Birmingham Is to conduct an automobile show has evi- dently penetrated the manufacturing centers to a large extent.
 MT. Brownell said the manufactur- ing companies applying for space were the Premier. the Chase, Averette and Cole.
 | In addition to the nonresident agencies applying for space 1t is stated that about 30 local cars will provide exhibit space for the show. In all it is stated that 40 different cars will be exhibited in the first automobile show held by Birmingham.
 | MT. Brownell said last night that every indication pointed to the success of the effort. He said that. in addition to automobiles the show would include motorcycles and tires of all makes. l It Is stated that every automobile agent in Birmingham some of whom handle as many as five different kinds | of cars, will have space in the show | exhibiting mechanical parts and the 1 fully completed cars for the inspection | of visitors.
 "The automobile show, the initial movement of it's kind, is decidedly im- portant to this community" said MT. Brownell. Tn addition to stimulating interest among local people I am in- clined to believe that the show will be of vast commercial benefit to Birming- ham. For instance I am told that au- tomobile buyers from points in Missis- sppi wishing to get the latest models go directly through Birmingham to place in Georgia where they try to see what is going on. That is certainty bad situation and should be corrected. I believe one of the best methods of reaching that trouble would be this proposed show. The outside interest which is being indicated in the show leads me to believe that all manufac turers that are live ones will secure space at the exhibition"

Primitive Screws

From the Eastern Engineering.
 Screws are still made in India just as they were made originally, by winding two soft wires together around a man dril. The wires are then carefully sep arated and one of them is soldered into a. tube or nut while the other is sol dered to a short rod All the siversmiths make their screws in this way and they are all left handed. for they are wound over and over by the right hand
 Screw bolts and screw presses were in- troduced by Europeans and for many years all the cotton exported from India was compressed by massive screw of wood. turned round by cattle yol<ed to a long lever. This screw may still be found in remote districts. It is cut en- tirely by hand and is set out by wind ing two ropes around the hand dressed beam to give the pitch.

A well known young actress, whose name is likely to figure shortly in De brett" recently caused consternation in the bosom of the noble family, who were in blissful ignorance of the infatuation of their son and heir. He was in the habit of disappearing pretty regularly for week ends, but generally gave some plausible reason to account for his ab- sence. On one of these occasions there was a rift in the lute, and the pettish beauty. addressing her admirer in words of whitening scorn, pointed to the door and uttered the monosylable, "Goi"

Teeth Marks Cause Indictment

From the London Mall.
 Archie Johnson, 2s, a rubber hand, was indicted at Leicester assizes for the mur- der of Annie Jennings at Leicester on January ?. It was alleged that marks on the womans neck corresponded with an impression of the accused's teeth. With reference to skin bearing the teeth marks 1t was stated that since it was taken from the body it had contracted and un- dergone an appreciable change. Sir Ky land Adkins proposed to put in a photo- graph showing the woman's neck. Mr. Powers objected, bu the objection was overrued.

Too Much for Religion

From the New fOrk WOrId.
 The finding of an old document sug- gests famous anecdote of the late Admiral Evans. which ran something in this fashion: The admiral one Sunday went to church in certain city and sat down in a pew which seemed to him to be in a good strategic position. The owner of the pew. who did not recognize the admiral. at once wrote on slip of paper and handed it to him: My name is -, and pay s1ooo q year for this pew
 Admiral Evans at once wrote on the slip and returned it: My name is Bob Evans. and I think you pay too - ,much.'

 As matter of fact, the official throne of these realms is the onssat St. James
 palace, that very ordinary looking brick
 building at the foot of St. James street.
 All ambassadors are accredited to this court, and in the eyes of foreign govern
 ments, it stands for the majesty of
 Britain. It's throne Is a very handsome
 one, and stands under a magnificent and
 most ornate canopy

 It would seem to have been the custom In ancient times 10 crown kings on a stone, for not only is there the ancient stone of scene in the coronation chair.
 but visitors to Kingston on Thames can see in the market place the ancient cor onatiorf stone of England. Why the Scottish stone should be preferred to the
 stone upon which Alfred the Great was
 crowned 1t Is hard to say, and why he
 should be housed in the abbey and the other exposed to wind and weather near Kingstons busy market place, is still
 more of puzzle
 One of the many romances of the Grey family was touched upon last week when the chancery court directed the trustees
 of young Lord Stamford to pay the sum of $10,000 as interest to the trustees of John Grey. deceased. The latter was the son of the eighth Earl of Stamford. a rather eccentric individual. who lived for upwards of 40 years in South Africa, and gave to the peerage dusky coun- tess a full-blooded Kaffir. She had a
 daughter. Lady Mary Grey, and a son.
 Though he did not sucoeed to the title.
 the son was, however, well provided for. After her husbands death the black countess married a colored man. The Stamford earldom has passed through some curious phases. and col umns might be written about the mis- fortunes of the noble house of Grey of

CORN OUTLAWED.
Confiscated Corn to Be Carried to
Columbia for Destruction.

Columbia, April 26.-Col. E. j.
Watson, commissioner of agriculture,
stated to-day that he had directed
the confiscation of a thousand bush
els of rotton corn that had been ship
ped into this State from the Middle
West. Col. Watson stated that this
is the worst corn so far canfiscated
by his department.
Of this amount about 750 bushels
were seized in Charleston and the
remaining portion in towns along the
coast. This will be shipped to Co.
lumbia for destruction. The corn
was given a thorough test in the
laboratories of the agricultural de-
partment and was found to be in a
terrible condition, 60 per cent. being
rotten. Col. Watson expects to make
several seizures of corn meal about
Monday.
In talking of these seizures Com
missioner Watson stated that if
buyers would allow his department
to inspect the corn before such large
shipments are made it would save
much loss. He says he hates to con-
fiscate such large quantities of grain,
but that when the Western dealers
ship bad material into this State it
is not right for the merchants to put
it out upon the people. The tests
will be made by the agricultural de-
partment free of charge and the COM
missioner asks buyers to buy sub
ject to inspection by the agricul-
tural department.

Waits Seven Years to File a Suit.

Atlanta, Ca, April 25.-Seven
years ago, John w. Nash, then a
newsboy of fourteen, stepped from
behind Blind Station" at the Peril
street crossing on the South Decatur
car line into the path of speeding
trolley and was horribly nangled.
AS result of the accident young
Nash lost his left leg.
Since that time Nash, who had
made a meagre living selling news
papers in the streets Of Atlanta, has
waited patiently until he reached his
majority to ask the courts for dam
ages from the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company.
To-day through his attorneys,
young Nash brought suit in superior
court for 100000, naming the Geor-
gia Railway and Electric Company as
defendant.

PLEADS GUILTY TO CHARGE.
Supt. of Orr. Mills Fined $40 for Al.
lowing Children to Work.

Anderson, April 26.-In Magis-
trate Wilson's court to-day John A.
Lyon, superintendent of the Orr
cotton mills of this city, entered a
plea of guilty to the charge of vio-
lating certain sections of the act
regulating the employment of chill
dren in the factories, and was SEN
fenced to pay fine of $40, the min
imum fine provided for in such
cases.
The charges against Superintend-
ent Lyon were preferred by W. S..
Bonner, State factory inspector
working under Commissioner Wat
son. The allegation was that on the
18th of April Superintendent Lyon
permitted four children under age
to work in the Orr mills.
On the 18th when Inspector Bon
ner inspected these mills Superin-
tendent Lyon admitted that the chill
dren were under age, but explained
that he was working them only tenn
pararily. An epidemic of measles
existed in the mill village at that
time, and Superintendent Lyon found
it necessary to press into service the
children in question at the spinning
frames to avoid closing down ma
chinery in other departments of the
mills. AS a matter of fact these
children were the mills only help on
the afternoon of the 18th and the
morning of the goth.
Magistrate Wilson imposed the
minimum fine, $40, which was paid.

NEW MILEAGE PLAN.
Books Will be Good Only on Road
Selling Them.

On and after the first of May the
interchangeable mileage books sold
by the various railroads of this
section, at the rate of two cents per
mile, will be good so far as this
State is concerned, for only Inter-
State journeys. That is to say, the
interchangeable book may be used
only in passing from South Caro-
lima into another State, or in passing
through South Carolina from one
State to another. Even then the
mileage will not be pulled on trains.
Such is the decision of South
Carolina railroad companies in re-
spect to the act of the general as
sembly of 1912, which requires all
railroads in this State, selling mile
age books, to receive the coupons on
trains, instead of having them ex-
changed for tickets at the station.
This act takes effect on May /, 1912.
To travel within the State of South
Carolina on a mileage book at the
two-cent rate, travellers must, after
the first day of May, purchase a sep
arate mileage book for every rail-
road over which he travels. For in
stance, a journey from Charleston to
Greenville, on mileage books, would
require three separate books, should
the traveller elect to go over the At
lantic Coast Line, to Columbia, and
thence hV LaurenS

TILLMAN TAKES STAND.
Will Keep "Hands Off, in the Gu.
bernatorial Fight.

Washington, April Ex-senator
Tillman, of South Carolina, will be
"hands off" in the Palmetto State
gubernatorial election this year, &C
cording to statement issued by him
here to-day. For some time there
has been considerable speculation as
to whether he would support Judge
Ira B. Jones, who left the supreme
court bench to oppose Cole L. Blease,
now governor, for another term, or
would support the governor. Some
have said that he was for Jones
while others have maintained that
he would stand by Blease. All doubt,
however, was set at rest when the
senator issued the following signed
statement:
my attention has been called to
a statement by the newspapers and
rumors in some parts of South Caro-
lima, that I have said I would sup
port Gov. Blease for reelection.
There are also rumors and state
ments that I am going to vote for
Judge Jones.
II want to say once for all that l
announced early last fall that would
be hands off, in the coming fight for
governor, and l take this occasion to
repeat that statement and to assure
the people of South Carolina that if
1 should see any reason to change my
attitude of impartiality between the
two candidates, I will announce it over
my own signature.
II beg them to give no heed to any
statements, reports, rumors or asser-
tions coming from any source con-
trary to the above. 1t is none of my
business. The people are perfectly
competent to decide what man they
want for governor, and l shall leave
it to them"
