Crematory Explodes.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Feb. 23.-While
the body of Minnie Massie, a young
woman, who died February 8, from
the effects of stab wound, was being
cremated at the morgue to-day, the
crematory exploded. Deputy Coroner
Black was hurled violently against
a wall and seriously burned. Coroner
Jamison and number of prominent
hotel proprietors, who saw the be-
ginning of the cremation, had barely
left the room when the explosion o.
Cured. The partly incinerated body
was badly scattered, while the body
of the crematory was blown away.
Escaping gas is thought to have as
sembled beneath a false bottom of
the oven and ignition followed from
the intense heat.

CAME TO HIS ASSISTANCE.
Friends of Carolinian Save Him from
Arrest.

Huntsville, Ala, Feb. 23.-Louis
York, the young man residing at
Lowe village, and who was several
days ago identified as the man want
ed in Pickens, S. c., for escaping
from the officers while member of
the chain gang in that county has
been aided by friends. York was
wanted for serving out the unexpir-
ed term of six months. His friends
here rallied to his support, and to
keep him from going back to life of
shame they made up the amount of
money required to pay him out, and
he has been allowed to remain with
his family. The officer who came
for York from South Carolina, was
one of the number to contribute to
the fund which kept the man from
having to go back to prison. YORK
has lived an exemplary life ever since
coming here.

Youth Rewarded for Bravery.

McAlester, Okla, Feb. PAS a
reward for his bravery in warning
miners at work in mine No. 5 of the
Western Coal & Mining company at
Lehigh, Okla, when fire broke out
in the mine last Thursday, resolu-
tions were adopted at the convention
of the United Mine Workers of
America, OF the Twenty-first district,
to-day authorizing the executive
board to set aside sufficient funds to
defray the expenses of educating
Reifno Rodriguez, a Mexican youth.
Rodrigue when it was discover
ed that the mine was afire, ran
through the works shouting warn
ing to the workmen. AS a result, all
of the 100 men at work, with the ex-
ception of nine, escaped from the
mine before the fire gained headway.

RECORD SPRUNG ON BLEASE.
Governor Formerly Favored Heating
Plant for Colored College.

Columbia, Feb. 25.-When the
item relative to the heating plant at
the negro State College was reached
last night, when the senate was con-
sidering the vetoes on the appropri-
alton bill, Senator Weston arguing
for the passage over the veto, stated
that Gov. Blease, a few years ago
while a trustee of the negro State
College, in the report which the board
made in 1902, approved then the in
stallation of a heating plant in Nor
rill Hall at the colored college.
THAT report" said the Richland
senator, ''is complete refutation Of
the governors message vetoing this
item" Senator Weston characterized
the governors present attitude as
that of candidate seeking reelection
and as an appeal to the prejudice and
passion of the people.
The report referred to by Senator
Weston was made while John j. Nc
Mahan was superintendent of educa-
ton, and contains this paragraph:
"A steam heating plant has been in
stalled in Morrill, Hall at cost of
$4,000, which adds much to the safe
ty of the building and the health and
comfort of the Students"
The report was signed by Gov. Nc
Sweeney, Messrs. Cole L. Blease and
w. r. LoWman. trustees.

Orangeburg, Feb. 24.-The motion
for new trial in the case of j. j..

Judge took the papers and announced
that he would render a decision later.
Jones was brought from Columbia
and is now in jail here, where he will
remain until a decision is rendered
on the motion argued to-day. Mrs.

Unable to Find Mrs. Greever.

Washington, Feb. 24.-There are
no new developments in the case OF
Mrs. w. H. Greever, of Columbia, s.
c., who disappeared in this city on
Friday, February 16. The police OF
this and nearby cities have been
working diligently but they have not
discovered the slightest clue as to
her whereabouts. The mystery in
creases as each day passes.
Mr.. Greever, who is we'll known
minister of Columbia, has been here
for several days, as have other rela.
tives of the missing woman, and they
have been aiding in the search, but to
no avail. Mr.. Greever is almost dis
tracted.
Mrs. Greever had been in Washing
ton for several months. She came
here for treatment for nervous
trouble, but al no time was her con-
dition regarded as alarming. She
was apparently in good spirits the
day she disappeared, and this makes
the case all the more mysterious. She
was out shopping Friday afternoon,
in company with a woman friend. Her
friend turned to speak to her as they
were walking down crowded street,
and found that she had disappeared.
She has not been heard from since.
Mrs. Greever had several friends
in Washington, and she has relatives
in Pennsylvania and Maryland. All
of these, so far as possible, have been
communicated with, but without re-
suits.
It has been suggested that the
missing woman might have commit
ted suicide by jumping into the Po-
tomac river. The river banks have
been scanned by the police for several
days, but without finding any body.
All the hospitals in this section have
been communicated with, but with
out results.
The public is greatly interested in
the case. 1t does not seem possible
that a person could completely dis
appear in the national capital, which
has a large and efficient police force,
yet this is just what has happened.
Many different theories have been
worked on, but all have been with
out any sort of success. The police
have had absolutely no clues to work
on.
Mrs. Greever is 46 years old. She
has two children, and they are now
with relatives in Virginia. She has
not been there. So far as is known
she had but SIS or $40 the day she
disappeared, and this makes the case
all the more mysterious.

ROOSEVELT "A CANDIDATE.
Will Oppose Taft Before National
Republican Convention.

New York, Feb. 25.-"I will ac-
cept the nomination for president
if it is rendered me, and l will ad-
here to this decision until the con-
vention has expressed it's prefer
ence," is Col. Theodore Roosevelt's
reply to the letter of seven Repub-
lican governors asking him to stand
for nomination.
The eagerly awaited reply was CIV
en- out tonight at Col. Roosevelt's
office here during his absence on a
trip to Boston. 1t was Unexpectedly
brief, but definite. 1t follows:
Suspense Relieved at Last.
New York, Feb. "a, 1912.-Gen-
tlemen: I deeply appreciate your let
ter, and I realize to the full the
heavy responsibility it puts upon me,
expressing as it does the carefully
considered conviction of the men
elected by popular vote to stand as
the heads of government in their
several States.
II absolutely agree with you that
this matter is not one to be decided
with any reference to the personal
preferences or interests of any man,
but purely from the standpoint of the
interests of the people as whole.
''I will accept the nomination for
president if it is rendered to me, and
I will adhere to this decision until
the convention has expressed it's
preference.
Zone of the chief principles for
which I have stood, and for which I
now stand, and, which I have always
endeavored and always shall endeav-
or to reduce to action is the genuine
rule of the people, and therefore, I
hope that so far as possible the peo-
pie may be given the chance, through
direct primaries, to express their
preference as to who shall be the
nominee of the Republican conven-
ton. Very truly yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

rET THE LIMIT STAND.

nh constitutional limitation OF
five mills to the state tax levy is IN
tba minds of many able men OF the
state a wise piece of legislation be-
cause it stands as a granite wall be-
tween the peoples interests ana ten
denotes towards extravaganza in the
administration of state affairs.
That this barrier will be hard TO
break down or even temporarily
breach was shown in the house last
week when the bill Of Representative
Ashley of Lowndes to make an add
tional levy OF one mill for the year
1918 only, in order to raise some
5000 900 additional revenues to pay
teachers. was tabled, which is, in eff
feet. the same as killing it. Mr..
Ashley is a banker and a gentleman
of sound and high motives. His pur-
nose and intent were undoubtedly
the most patriotic, but far-seeing
men saw grave udHS0l III NA
osition
In the first place, there was no pos
tive assurance that the money thus
arising would be applied to the pur-
pose intended. 1t would also have
paved the way for future assaults
on the tax barrier, when lawmakers
would come with pleas to let the
gap down for still another year to
levy two additional mills, and so on.
Without a check on the state tax
evy we would run into unheard of
extravagances. Even a temporary
breach in the law would raise a dan
ger too serious to consider.

A SIGNIFICANT EXAMPLE.

Distraught by the unpromislng
weather a Green county farmer, so
the story goes, has plowed up all
his cotton, and in its stead has plant
ed peas. The latter crop, he says,
will be hardy enough to Withstand
all the uncertainties of cloud and
sun, and will yield a surer, if not a
richer, profit than he could expect
from the ordinary staple.
This, truthfully says a contempt
rary, is rare but none the less
significant example of the enforced
changes which are gradually taking
place in Georgia agriculture. The
custom of turning over all or a
greater portion of the land to cotton
and then buying food supplies from
distant markets at high prices is,
happily, being supplanted by a di-
versity of crops.
In soil and climate so varied as
Georgia's there is no necessity for
depending upon any one harvest.
Certainly there is no reason in ig-
norfng food production and relying
upon a crop for which the outcome
is nearly always hazardous.

EXPRESS COMPANY ABUSES.

In discussing the report of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
concerning the express companies
the Pittsburg Dispatch submits that
it is hardly possible to review the
character or the abuses that have
crown up in the express business, "
and adds:
"But an xample of the underlying
motive is presented by a single ex-
ample, to-wit, the contract between
an express company and railroad
over which it is to operate that on
business along that line the express
rate is never to be less than twice
the charge of the railroad for the
same kind of freight between the
same points. The entire system is
based on the purpose of suppress
ing competition in charges. That
being the ruling purpose it is a nat
ural, almost inevitable, result that
the other abuses follow.
THE commissions reforms are
based on Justice, and are the best
that can be done, so long as the ex-
elusive rates based on the purpose
of suppressing competition are left
untouched. But where the funda-
mental purpose is vicious why not
strike at that? We believe that all
these abuses can be uprooted by re-
storing the principle of competitor
in the express service. That can be
done by restoring the old rule thai
if a railroad furnishes facilities, cars
and transportation for one express
carrier it must furnish the same ia
cilities at the same charges for al
who would do business over its line

THE DEAD EMPEROR.

The death of the emperor of Japan
calls attention to the many and won
derfuI changes that have come IN
Nippon since he was crowned. Ills
-eign has been of quiet nature, yet
ne came to the throne as the result
of q gleat civil war in his country.
md Japan has waged two great wars
with foreign countries since his rise
to power-China and Russia. The re-
suit of the last named conflict gave
Korea to Japan, thus doubling her
territory and giving opportunity for
relief Of overcrowded Japan and for
coIonia enterprise. He was a wise
who put his country to the
front. He came of an old and noble
line that was powerful in japan
twenty-five hundred years back, the
history of each generation well de-
fined.
