~dispensary commission, which cost
the state of South Carolina approx
mately $4,000 for one year, is to be

the state treasury about $500, 000.
D. 1t is expected that the final meeting
of the Blease commission will be held
in Columbia in the near future. when
the final report will be made.

Berlin, Germany.-The coal miners
strike in the Great German coal fields
of Westphalia continues to spread.
There are over 100000 men now on
strike and the situation is becoming
worse everywhere. 1t has taken a
most serious turn in several districts
and has resulted already in a fatal
conflict between the police and the
strikers in the district of Herne. /
" The feeling among the men is In
creasing in intensity owing to the
rigid repressive measures OF the au-
thorities, and it is officially reported
here that troops will be called out II
the police prove inadequate to deal
with the situation.
The answers of the mine owners,
including the Prnssian state, which
runs its own mines, to the demands
of the unions in other German coal
fields, take the same stand as the
owners in Westphalia, declaring that
financial conditions do not permit the
granting of the full increase OF wages
and the other&demands of the miners,
80 that strikes also are impending
there. 8sEes :,
The distress which has been caused
throughout England, Scotland n
Wales from the coal strike is growing
acute, more particularly in Wales. In
that country practically the whole life
of the people depends upon the output
Of the coal mines.
The men on the railroads and those
with other industries are
now being discharged daily by hun
dreds, the notices to quit which were
given them when the coal strike be-
gan now expiring.

ers. The operators say positively
that they will make no concessions.

THE SAFETY FIRST MOVEMENT

we announced recently that most
of the great railroads of the country
recognizing that safety is more to be
desired than speed, have been or.
ganizing a movement for the prevent.
ion of accidents. and that while speed
and quick work are desirable, safety
is to be the first consideration.
Employees of the road and the
public generally are invited to offer
suggestions for the prevention of &C.
cidents in every department of rail
road work, and some of the things
already brought out and agreed upon
are that the dangling necktie must no
longer be worn by shopmell. They
are too liable to catch in machinery,
and a man wearing a tie is not con-
sldered safely dresser for shop work.
The man with a torn garment is also
out of order the hole in his overalls
or his sleeve being menace because
of the 1iabi ity of its catching on
something and causing an injury.
The public is interested in the
Safety First Movement on it's own ac-
count, and the habit of walking along
the tracks climbing over freight
trains while switching and getting on
or off of cars in motion arc among
the most dangerous practices that
people engage in.

is that in copying, mistakes may be
made, and items may be omitted that
are not ordinarily considered neces-
sary as part of an ebstract, yet if
it ever comes into court, the items
that were purposely omitted at the
time may be the determining point of
somebody's title, and much incon-
venience may be caused in securing
it then.

sive, but it will place his abstracts

BREAK THE NEWS TO TEDDY

Ex-President Roosevelt Is uI
against hard p OPPOSITION with some
of the Indians at FIT. Hall but he
doesn't know it. They do not ap-
prove of the recall of judges, and the
idea Is original with them too. They
were not influenced by any political
clique in arriving at their conclus.
ions, and it is the more interesting
because what We are about to relate
comes from the perfectly free and
natu, al unbiased mind of somebody
who is not looking for office or bust.
ness or any sort of prestige. 1 ais
is the way the story runs:
A couple of weeks ago two Indians
Geo. Stone and Jack Grouse were
walking along the railroad track
when Jack was run over and killed
and George escaped uninjured. The
body was somewhat mangled, and
when the embalmer was doing his
work small round hole was cut in
the body through which to inject the
embalming fluid.
A court of inquiry consisting of
three Indians from TT. Hall. Jake
Meeks, Simon Dixey, and Mack Po-
catello by name, viewed the remains
and rendered sort of a coroner's
verdict as to how he met death.
When they found the hole mentioned
above, they called it a bullet hole.
and they decided it was a case of
murder by shooting, and that Jack
had been thrown upon the track to
cover the crime. They accordingly
sent for the offender and SEN
fenced him to serve three
months in the Fort Hall Shook
emhouse, but when Major Estep
learned of the Incarceration he set
tie captive free.
s on after this two of the judges
called upon Mr. Estep for an explain
alton, ind whom it Yves explained
that they were not jury constituted
to dispose of tho crime of murder if
such it had boon, they Immediately
declared that if that was the wcy
their decisions were to be received
they would no lcnger sit in Judgment.
but would quit the bench which they
did.
