bill to provide a Federal investigation
Of any controversy affecting inter-
state commerce and Representative
Esch proposed a similar measure in
the house. Senator Townsend's bill
is similar to one he introduced when
a member of the house several years
ago. The possibilities of a coal strike
are causing anxiety in the navy de-
partment. While the strike would az
feet the anthracite mines only, indi-
rectly that would be likely to increase
the cost of bituminous coal which
would be used largely as a substitute.
Secretary Meyer will confer tomorrow
with representatives Of some OF the
bituminous coal companies which sup
ply the navy. 1t Is stated that in ad-
dition to the disturbance in the mar
ket caused by the present foreign and
prospective domestic strike the Vir-
ginia and West Virginia collieries are
greatly embarrassed by ca shortage.
1t is also represented to the depart
ment that there are twenty-five for
eign steamers in Hampton Roads wait
ing for bunker coal and that they are
offering $3.50 per ton more than the
navy pays The Boston navy yard Is
short of coal and there Is some appre-
hension that other yards will soon be
affected, but the fleet Is in better con-
dition owing to the ability of the
ships to select their coaling ports
Another serious question may soon
arise when 1t becomes necessary to
replenish the stores Of coal shipped
from the Virginia mines to the in
sular possessions and the foreign sta
tions of the American fleet. Indica-
tions are that the contracts which the
navy soon will make for its coal sup
ply for the next year will show con-
siderable increase in price.

THE trimming arrangements OF
flowers all show that much thought
and consideration have been given to
them. Mixtures of small flowers In

pronounced for spring, the two-toned
effects being particularly lovely.

SPRING MILLINERY.

Mere men folks, or at least lots Of
them, think that a millinery opening Is
only an advertising scheme, a pretext
to get the women into the store, so as
to sell them lots of things they don't
need along with many things they can
not do without. But there are a good
many things in this world that mere
men folks don't know much about, and
this millinery business is one Of them.
or course it is not to be claimed that
merchants have openings only for
the fun of the thing or only to enter
tain the ladies'. The fact of the mat
ter is that the opening has come to be
an absolute necessity to satisfy the ir-
resistible feminine desire to know ex-
actly what Is to be what, and that Is
the why of the millinery opening.
The semi-annual millinery opening
of the Thomson company Is now on,
in accordance with the announcement
published Tuesday. The weather be-
ing unusually favorable for such an
Occasion, the ladies commenced drop
ping in at an early hour yesterday
morning and there was a stream of
visitors from both town and country
until closing time. 1t has been the
same today, and If anybody thinks
that there has not been tremendous
interest they are simply mistaken
They are mistaken too, If they think
the ladies have not enjoyed themselves
and gotten quite a lot of information
that they want above anything else at
this time.
OF course the store is prettily deco
rated, and the various displays are
arranged with pleasing taste. The en-
tire force Of statesmen and saleswomen
is at the complete service of the Wis
itors, and during yesterday each lady
visitor was presented with a pink or
red carnation as an appropriate souve-
mir of the occasion. A lady reporter
gives an idea of what was to be learn
ed, as follows:
Diversity of styles in shapes, trim
mings and materials Is one Of the
most noticeable features Of spring mill
lnery. There are small, medium and
large shapes and in such a variety of
designs that every woman should he
able to suit her fancy.
sailor idea are being featured in both
shapes made OF fine Milan or hemp and
the ramie braids.
while upturned brims are decidedly
a feature of the new spring models,
dropping brims are to he used to quite
an extent. The left side or front roll
Is seen in a number Of the best mod
els and the roll may be of a decided
character or merely the suggestion of
a roll Under -brim facings are seen in
u variety Of forms.

THE FLOOD AT DAvIS'S.

These freshets are necessary from
time to time to clean out the creeks.
otherwise the creeks would fill up"
That is the way Mr.. R. j. Davis, pro-
prietor of Davis's mill, who was in
town yesterday, put 1t.
Discussing last Fridays flood fur
ther. Mr.. Davis said:
The water was the highest l have
ever known. / remember the flood of
1866. | was but a small boy; but was
big enough to go down and look at the
creek, and | have been familiar with
the high water marks ever since.
When | built my new mill house, was
careful to put the floor as high as the
crest of the food of 1865. | should
have put it a little higher; but I
didn't. The water was four and half
feet on the mill floor"
Asked about the damage, Mr.. Davis
said that large amount of sand had
been banked up under the mill build
ings and it had been Il lot of trouble
to move it. There had also been lot
of work cleaning up the machinery:
but all this has been done and the mill
was now all right.
"A pine tree that grew by the side
of the dam and which would have
squared fifteen inches. was washed
down and carried away.

The murderous attack with pistols
on Editor Cheshire Of the Anderson
Intelligencer by Magistrate Muldrow
and Alderman Tolley was an outrage
and reflects no credit on the city of
Anderson. Private citizens too often
take the law into their own hands, but
when a magistrate and an alderman,
sworn to preserve peace and order, go
on the warpath, 1t argues bad condi-
ton Of affairs in the county Of Ander-
son. But Editor Cheshire Is but reap
ing the fruit, the seed Of which he has
but recently sown. In his paper re-
Gently he advocated mob law for a
certain crime and approved Of the
lynching which had occurred In his
county. He has sown to the wind and
reaped the whirlwind. Unfortunately
there are too many persons Of intelli-
gence and influence who approve
openly of the mob taking the law into
their own hands for one, or 1t may be
two, crimes but once open the door
for the mob to take the law into Its
hands and you have anarchy pure and
mple.-Lancaster News.
We do not approve Of Editor Ches-
hires conduct and attitude toward the
recent lynching; but we are unable to
see that there is any connection be-
tween that attitude and conduct and
this attack upon him. The attack
was unnecessary and uncalled for as
we see it, and withal anything but
creditable to the men who made 1t.
The manner of the attack was also
thoroughly discreditable.

Tho Southern railways dairy car is
to come to Yorkville next Wednesday.
People generally should visit 1t. be-
cause the demonstration work and the
lectures will be of value.
The Enquirer stated in connection
with the destruction Of Mr.. w. D.
Lesslie's mill by the big rain last week
that "the mill had probably been there
seventy-five years." and while 1t Is a
fact that there has been a mill on the
site on which the building destroyed
last week stood, for seventy-five years
or longer, that particular building was
erected in the place Of one destroyed
by high water in November, 1878.
Although the Catawba broke records
for high water at Wright's ferry last
week, further down the river at Cure
toms ferry 1t was lower by several feet
and there was no such flood in the
Wateree swamps as that Of 1908. This
of course, indicates that the heaviest
of the rain was confined to a belt rum
ming about parallel with Crowder's
creek, although there were downpours
of equal weight in many parts Of

The South Carolina Press association
has abandoned the proposed trip to
Panama, and from what Editor De-
Camp says in the last issue of the
Ledger, one of the moving reasons was
a fear that the takine of the trip might
make the creditors of some of the edi-
tors more or Jess uneasy. Editor De-
Camp denies absolutely his own abil-
ity to take such a trip and charges the
editor of The Enquirer with unkind-
ness even at limiting such thing. 1t
will be remembered that Editor De-
Camp narrowly missed the pleasure of
a meeting of the Press association
some years ago because of delay in
getting his other shirt out of the wash.
But since then our good friend has

= Bennettsville special Of March 2

Bennettsville special Of March 20
to Columbia State: Senator elect
James K. Vardaman of Mississippi, de-
livered his lecture, THE Impending
Crisis" here tonight. The speaker
reached Bennettsville last night and
received a number Of admirers and
callers today and was shown some
thing Of the county during an automo-
bile ride this afternoon. Mr.. Varda-
man was presented to the audience by
ex-senator John L. McLaurin, who
was in the happiest humor. The in
troductory remarks were out Of the
ordinary, and were heartily received.
McLaurin stated that Mr.. Vardaman is
peculiarly fitted to discuss the great
problems Of the age from the southern
viewpoint. Continuing, he said: Il
doubt If any man in public life Is so
nearly the exponent of the masses on
the race question. This question Is no
longer sectional, but has become al
most a paramount issue, from Chica-
go. east. Governor Vardaman does not
believe that this question can be set
tied except through reverence for law
and proper regard for the sanctity
Of human life." It Is impossible to give
an outline of Governor Vardaman's ad-
dress, for the reason that he is deliver
ing 1t before many audiences. His
manner is pleasing, his delivery force
full and impressive and at all times en-
tertaining. He discusses the race
question clearly, but 1t Is done with no
bitterness, no hatred. He has decided
ideas and convictions. His address at
times rang with beautiful thoughts
and his rhetorical figures were elo-
quent and pleasing The entire lee
ture was void of all unkind feelings
towards the negro and was a thought
full message of consideration.

Speaking Of the bridge below the
mill, Mr.. Davis said that structure
stood the pressure until in the after
noon. The water was high over the
top of the hand rail. and while the
flood was at its greatest the driftage
went over the top. But as the flood
began to fall, the driftage began to
strike the stringers squarely and to
pile up in great weight behind. A part
Of the mass was forced under the
bridge, and the weight Of the water
back of this forced the bridge. up off
the piers. The structure went down
on edge, one end lodged against tree.
and the water striking the floor
squarely lifted 1t over into the bot
toms.
Mr.. Davis did not seem at all con-
cerned about any damage that may
have been sustained on account of
property loss.

by Mr.. Watson, and to this extent Mr..
Green was being paid for work that
had already been done. AS to what
original initiatory work Mr.. Green may
have done we do not know; but some
how we have never been very much
impressed with all this talk that has
been going on about Green. He used
to be regarded as a bright, able, high
principled young man and we are not
inclined to think that he has under
gone any change of character. AS to
what the nature Of Mr.. Creighton's
work might be we have no definite in
formation. If there was no way to find
out anything on the subject, we might
feel like quarreling few; but since
the governor announces that anybody
can see the reports on file in his Of
flee, 1t occurs to us that we might
withhold criticism until somebody has
taken a look. We are not unmindful
of the fact that other governors have
found it desirable to have recourse to
confidential agents, and whether we
like Mr.. Blease or not we cannot see
why he is not entitled to the same
rights as other governors.
