Reward Offered for Firebugs.

Union, March 9.-Mystery still en-
shrouds the destruction of the Union
Times plant and cutting of its
building at 4 o'clock Wednesday
morning by fire, though the police
are working hard on the case ana
feel certain that it was the work of
an incendiary, though if they have
any clue as to the identity of the fire.
bugs it has not been made public.
To quicken developments and as
sist in apprehending the criminal in
the case, the city council to-day Of
fered a reward of $500 and it is un-
derstood that this amount will be
supplemented by the Union Times
company.
One of the firemen, on getting up
to the head of the stairway, a very
narrow one, between the Union
Times building and that of the Hum
phries-Perrin company, owned by j.
H. Gault, found a window of the
Times building open, and it is sup
posed that the frebug made his way
up this stairway from the rear of the
building to the landing and there
opened the window and threw in ma
terial saturated with oil, as some
thing very inflammable was evidently
used because of the quick, fierce
blaze.
Just an hour or less before the fire
was discovered, the alarm being
turned in at 1885, two of the police
officers had passed this building, as
they do every night, and tried the
door, and everything was in good
shape, and Chief of Police Evans is
positive that the blaze did not orig
mate from any stoves.
What makes the theory of incen-
diarism seem so probable is that last
summer Rev. l.. NJ. Rice, editor Of
the paper, received threatening
anonymous note, declaring that he
would be burned out if ne did not
cease his activity against lawlessness
which crusade for bettering civic
conditions was being waged by both
papers in the city He referred edi-
torially to the threat at the time,
but has continued his outspoken attl-
tude for law and order, paying no
attention to this and other threats
he received, although the conditions
existing within the past few months
have not required such vigorous pub
lie condemnation as he has previous
ly given.

MulefOOt Hogs.

Ever see or hear tell of a mulefoot
hog? Just like any other sort Of
hog only he parteth not the hoof,
hence his name. 1t is said they have
been bred in their purity for many
years in number of States; they are
to be seen in Sweden, Holland, Scot
land, Norway and Turkey, and there
are records of their existence in diff
ferent parts of the world, centuries
ago. 1t is supposed they were first
brought to America from Africa. The
meat is said to particularly good.
The breeders in the United States
have an organization, the American
Mulefoot Hog Record Association,

TILLMAN BOUND FOR TRENTON.
Senator to Attend Clemson Meeting
Before Return to Washington.

DclOfo 1ctufu 10 w oSiiihSsCoA.
Washington, March l1.-Senator
Tillman, accompanied by Mrs. Till
man, left this afternoon for Trenton,
S. G. One of the purposes of his trip
is to attend the meeting of the trus-
tees of Clemson College.
The senator has been steadily at
work at his office in the capitol build
ing for weeks, has handled mass of
correspondence and other work, and
has been in his seat on the senate
floor at least part of the time dur
ing every days session. While he
has not made any regular speech at
this session thus far, the senator has
at times participated in the debate
by the interjection of brief, charac-
teristic comment, which has been re-
corded in the proceedings.
The senator thinks that unless the
senate dispatches business a great
deal faster than it has been doing
hitherto at this session, congress will
be here far into the summer, and
long after the Republican and Demo,
cratic National conventions.

Gov. Blease did not go to Han1p-
ton last week where he had accepted
an invitation and where it was ex-
pected there would be political dis
cussion between the governor and
Ex-Chief Justice Ira B. Jones, who
had also been invited. Jones was
present and spoke, but the governor
wrote a letter saying he was too
busy. Yet he was away for several
days recently in the up-country, look
ing after his political fences. OF
course no one would be so unkind as
to even intimate that the governor
was scared to meet Mr.. Jones.

Reaches South Pole.

Christiana, Norway, March s.
Two local newspapers to-day received
dispatches from Capt. Ronald Am
undsen announcing that he had
reached the South Pole on Decem-
Der IA, 1911. The dispatches were
sent from Hobart, Tasmania, where
Amundsen arrived yesterday.
The dispatches read: POLE reach
ed 14th-17th December" This evil
dently means that he remained three
days in the vicinity Of the Pole, prob
ably for the purpose of taking accu-
rate observations as to his position.

The dispensary Investigating COM
mittee appointed by the recent gen.
eral assembly was in session for sew
eral days last week and Attorney
General Lyon and several members
of the Ansel dispensary commission
testified. However, most of the tes-
timony was in answer to the insinu-
ations of the governor, and nothing
material was developed. Fact is the
witnesses did little but abuse the
governor.
