Houston, Tex, Feb. 21.-In the

the history of Houston, smoldering
wreckage tonight covers an area one

More than a dozen of the city's
most important Industrial enterprises

the most conservative is that 1t will
reach $7,0O0,000, while the insurance

Keep clearly in mind the distinc.

Il do not believe in adopting the

has become clearly evident that no
other course will achieve the desired
result. But either the recall will
have to be adopted or else 1t will

Some 0~ficeholders in South Carolina
Said to be Afraid to Move Either
Way.

Washington, May A number OF Re-
publican politicians well known In South
Carolina are in Washington and as some
are Roosevelt men and some are Taft fol-
lowers, there is considerable speculation
regarding their mission. 1t was said here
to-day that some of them, ~oficeholders un'
der the present administration, are fearful
lest they hold on to Taft too long and are
afraid to let go and swing on to Roosevelt.
The only thing left for them to do was to
come to Washington and get the lay ofthe
land. The recent reported flop OF some OF
the Taft delegates to the Roosevelt side OF
the fence may have a bearing on several
South Carolina post-of1ce appointments,
which are due to be made within the next
few days. The Abbeville and Ninety-Six
muddles are still unsettled, and there are
several others in different parts OF the
State.

Why May 10th 4?

Perhaps some Of our young readers may
not have learned why South Carolina has
selected May the 10th as Memorial Day.
It was done In honor Of Gen. Thomas ].
jackson, better known in war annals as
"Stonewan" Jackson, who died at Guinea
Station, Va, on the 10th Of May, 1868, after
having been wounded a few days before
by Confederate soldiers, who mistook him
and his staff in the darkness for Federals.
Gen. Jackson's left arm was amputated
and his other wounds were dressed, and
he would probably have recovered, but
pneumonia set in and caused his death.
It is not our purpose here to write of
jackson himself; but young people can
find no worthier man In the history Of the
world than the man In whose honor South
Carolinians celebrate Memorial Day, and
they would find much profit in studying his
life and character.

Happenings Of a Week In and About the
Seyen.HiIIed city-Personals.

Lowndesville, May GA little rain
and a little very small hail Monday
evening, neither of which was at all
needed.
Misses Hattie Jackson, Julia Ban
lister and Annie Hellams, of Spartan
burg, were the guests of Miss Camille
Smith, for a day or two the latter part
of the week before last.
Mrs. E. F. Latimer went over to
| Honea Path last week and spent a
few days at her old home, with her
parents.
At a late meeting of the Lowndes-
Vile High School Trustees, Mr.. M. M.
Wilkes was reelected Principal, and
Mrs. Wilkes and Misses Rogers and
Hiars assistant teachers-the same
who had charge Of the school during
the past scholastic year.
Messrs. D. L. Barnes and T. c. Lid
dell went to Anderson Thursday.
The good weather during the past
week or two, has greatly benefited
the planters, as they have made good
use of it. Many are done planting
some more will finish in a few days,
and again some who are always be-
hind, who will not finish for quite a
while. The behind fellows are behind
as usual and will be to the end Of the
chapter.
There was rather a strange occur
renee to take place here Thursday
night. Jack the Ripper, or some other
agency, played havoc with the can
ines in the west end Of the towns
dogs of various degrees of worth to
their owners were found dead Friday
morning without any marks to indi-
cate. the cause Of their death. No
particular examination made Of the
bodies; no %inquests held, and con-
lecture is rife, as to the cause OF their
taking off. Like other night providers,
they probably ate something that dis
agreed with them.
The DeKoren Male Quartette COM
pany gave a concert in the High
school building Friday night, which
was highly entertaining to the large
audience present. 1t was a treat to
be remembered.
The delegation in part, Of the LoWn-
desville Democratic club reported at
Abbeville Monday, for business in the
County convention. One time more our
section was honored by being accord
ed a place in the State convention.
Our worthy townsman, Mr.. E. W..
Harper, represented this section IN
that important gathering.
Mrs. J. W. Moseley made a flying
visit to Anderson Monday.
Messrs. John T. Baskin and Robert
| Smith left for Macon, Ca, and attend
ed the Confederate Reunion.
The Savannah side Of the county,
in places had a down pour OF rain
| Sunday night. Some OF the smaller
| streams we're so far out as they could
get, for the hills and damaged lands
and crops in reach.
Rev. J. C. Chandler left Wednesday
for Honea Path, where he attended
the Anderson District Sunday school
convention.
Mrs. O. Johnson, one of Lowndes-
ville's former citizens, now OF Ander-
son, came down Wednesday and since

WHERE Is THE SEAL OF THE
Confederate Historian Believes
Its Hiding Place Will Soon
Be Revealed.

Where Is the seal Of the C%onfederacy?
This question has often been discussed In
Abbeville. It was here that the last meet
ing of the Confederate Cabinet was held,
and tradition has it that the seal was
thrown into the stark well. A careful
search, however, has failed to substanti-
ate this story. By some it Is believed the
seal was thrown into Savannah river. In
view OF these facts the following from the
Macon correspondence OF the Atlanta Jour-
nal may prove interesting:
Macon, Ga, May 81 am absolutely
convinced that the Confederate monument
In Macon holds the solution to the hiding
place Of the great seal Of the C~onfederacy,"
said one Of the most widely informed his
torians of the C%onfederacy this morning.
II feel assured that somebody in or near
Macon knows where the great seal is to-
day." he continued. II am futher convinc-
ed that it will be brought to light within a
comparatively brief time and that this
honor will come through the Macon
Daughters of the Confederacy.
The speaker, who requests that his name
be withheld for the present, Is known
throughout the country for his historic re-
searches.
For many years he has persistently and
quietly searched for the great seal, the
finding Of which would be a greater event
than the solution Of the mysteries OF the
pyramids.
Patiently he has wendell his way through
a labyrinth Of long trails that ended blind
ly, and now he believes that the labors OF
a lifetime are about to eliminate in the
discovery Of a thing desired by govern
ments and individuals throughout the
%world-the great seal Of the southern Con-
federacy with which jefferson Davis fed
from Richmond.
LIKE GOLDEN FLEECE,
The labors of this historian to unearth
the thing desired above all others as a
relic of the southern Confederacy rival
those Of the mythical men who sought the
Golden Fleece.
He has in his possession the Morocco case
in which the original seal was sent from
Paris to this country. In this case there
is embedded, perfect in every detail, an
impression Of the great seal.

AUTO ORDINANCE TO BE
ENFORCED.

When ourl worthy mayor informed the
ladies of the Federation that the speed
limit was off he evidently meant only
temporary suspension Of the rule applying
toautoists, as the police force has been in
structed to notify autoists that there will
be rigid enforcement OF the ordinance
regulating the speed Of autos. The ordi-
nance provides for a maximum speed on
the streets OF not more than 10 miles and
at corners not more than four miles.
