CatawbaS Attract Attention.

The Indians from the Catawba
reservation, ten miles south of
Fort Mill, are attracting much
attention at the corn show in
Columbia. These Indians con-
stltute a joint exhibit from Win
throp College and the Federal
Department of Agriculture. The
Indians cook bread. make pottery
and perform other interesting
customs peculiar to the original
inhabitants of America. In con-
nection with them, Winthrop
College is exhibiting a valuable
and highly interesting collection
OF Indian relics. The Federal
Government also exhibits, in this
connection, a case containing
some OF the interesting things
worn and worked by the Indians.
In this case are some of the
original cooking utensils, the
turtle rattle worn by the Indian
maldens in the dance to produce
a strange noise from an unidenti-
he'd source, the war bonnets and
other interesting things.

The House of Representatives
Friday night passed to third
reading Mr.. Rittenberg's bill to
provide a liquor license system
for the city of Charleston.
The chief amendments are to
provide for a license for brewers
and bottlers, at $4,000 and grad
uated down, reducing the salary
for the license commissioners
from 81 300 to $1,000 each; the
wholesale license is to be $3, 600
and retail license 81 600 each.
No liquor is to be shipped out
side of Charleston; no liquor
can be sold by licensed dealers
in less than half pints. There
was question about allowing

this right is now given. The
amendment provides for publica-
tion of names of all applicants
for licenses and no application
can be granted until duly adver-
tised.

Allies Resume War.

Dispatches from London Mon
day night said that the Balkan
war had been resumed, the bonn
bardment of Adrianople having
begun at z o'clock, and small
skirmish occurred at Tchatalia
lines. The armistice had lasted
exactly two months.
Bulgaria has turned deaf ear
TO the remonStrances of the pow
ers, and unless Turkey yields to
the Balkan demands the allied
armies will now attempt to drive
here completely out of Europe.
Advices from Belgrade say
Scutari already is on the point
OF falling. 1t is reported that
the Turkish commander has sent
two representatives to the Ser
Wan commander to propose the
capitulation Of that town.

Crude Oil Scars.

When the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey was dis
solved by order OF the federal
supreme court last year, num-
ber of smaller companies were
organized and competition for
crude oil for the new refineries
has become pronounced.
For eighteen months preceding
the dissolution of the Standard.
which took place December is.
1911, Pennsylvania crude oil had
been quoted at 81 80 a barrel.
Eleven days afterward the price
was advanced five cents and
within d month producers were
receiving SIS a barrel for oil.
Five cents more was added on
April 10, 1912, and another five
cents added June 5. From then
until October 20 there was no
change. The policy of tacking
on five cents to the price was
continued until December ID,
when the dream of the oil pro-
ducer was realized in the an
nouncement that So oil had ar
rived. Another advance of five
cents was recorded on January 6
and on January 27 seven cents
were tackled on. From that time
until January 30 there were daily
advances of seven cents. Oil
men are now predicting So. SO
oil by midsummer and SO oil be-
fore the end of the year.

SOUTH CAR0LINA'S COLONY
IN THE LONE STAR STATE

Ft. Worth, Tex, Jan. Sit
may seem a little late to write of
something which took place a
month ago. | wanted to write
then, but could not, so will write
now. want to say a few words
about my visit to Turnersville,
as this may be of interest to
some readers of The Times.
On Monday preceding le 25th
of December, | went down to
Clifton, Tex, and was met there
10y Robert Epps (the first time
| had seen hin in a good while).
1t ade me shiver somewhat
when he told me we had to drive
20 miles. Snow and rain had
been falling, so you can imagine
how the wind swept across the
prairies. Leaving Clifton at l
O'Clock we reached the South
Carolina Settlement" without de-
lay or mishap. | am writing
more to say few words about
this settlement than | am about
my trip. |, of course, found the
Settlement" a pleasant place,
for was in the midst of friends
and relatives, former South Car
ollnlans. | went from home to
home just as much as time would
pei NIT. | was with a crowd
nearly all the time, for the peo-
pie are all in all and visit one an
other. | had the pleasure of
meeting with Monroe Faris, Jes-
Sc Faris, Marcellus Coltharp,
three Lathams and Tom Huff
man. | did not see the Fulwoods
nor Pink Faris. They live not
far from this settlement. The
land there is good and is cut into
plantations, not of the big, land
lord kind. They own their farms
and live at home. The particular
thing | noticed is the men are
brothers; they love one another.
They help each other work, visit,
and remind me somewhat of the
story of Acadia's settlement in
Canada before the English des-
troyed it. They have their little
church in the field and one of
their own members is shepherd
of the flock. They are all rellg-
lous people, recognizing Provi-
dent God as the keeper of their
homes, and seem to be happy and
contented. GEE.

OFFERING PRAISE TO GOD
BLEASE TALKS OF PARDONS

Il want all of my acts as gov
ernor of South Carolina to be
known to the public" Governor
Blease is quoted as having said
in transmitting to the I,egisla-
ture Saturday the list of pardons
and paroles granted last year
with the reasons therefor. Il
am not afraid of Them" contin-
ued the Governor, for the in
dorsement which l received from
72, 243 of my white fellow-citi-
zens is pretty strong proof of
the fact that my administration
was indorsed, and if the machine
had given me all of the votes
that were cast for me, and my
opponents had not used money.
whiskey and intimidation, in
stead of being 72, 243, it would
have been at least 10000. NY
people gave me as my reward a
second term as governor of my
State and | believe that my re-
ward hereafter will come in due
season, for | still believe that
only by the help of God Almighty
could | have won my first race.
and | know positively that only
by His help could | have defeat
ed the unholy organization that
was formed against me last sum-
mer. Therefore, | know that
God heard the prayers of myself
and friends, and | repeat that
had it not been for Him | could
not have won such victory, and
once again | sing Praise God
From Whom All Blessings Flow
and as | have said, and repeat
now, | will answer to Him for all
my acts to my people, for my
acts as governor. | have no apol-
ogies to make to any man or set
OF men for single parole, par
don or commutati0n that | have
granted, or for a single act that
| have done since l have been
governor of South Carolina, or
for single word | have spoken,
whether in the State or outside
of it, firmly believing that my
pardon record for the past two
years had more to do with my
reelection than any other one
thing; because my Heavenly
Father has said that He would
show mercy TO those who them
selves showed mercy"

MISSISSIPPI TO CANAL.
J. G. Armson of saltwater Says
Electric Power Worth $1,000, 900
Annually Could be Developed.

Duiuth.-Arguments on the pro-
posed extension of the twenty-foot
channel in the ST. Louis river which
emptles into the Duluth-Superior har-
Dor from Big Island to Commonwealth
avenue at New Duluth, were heard
here by government engineers. Two
other proposed projects also received
attention, the principal one being the
proposed canal to connect Lake Su-
perior and the Mississippi river.
The board of engineers was COM
posed of Col c. L. Potter of st. Paul,
chairman; Lieutenant Colonel F. r..
Skunk of Pittsburg, and Captain E.
ID. Peek of Duluth. '
The principal argument for the
canal connecting Lake Superior and
the Mississippi river was made by J..
u. Armson of Saltwater, representing
the st. Croix River Improvement AS
ISOLATION; the Citizens Association of
saltwater, the Upper Mississippi
River improvement Association, and
the Association of Commerce of ST.
Paul
Mr.. Armson contended for a channel
eight feet deep suitable for floating
large canal barges. He read several
pages of argument and statistics set
ting forth that the proposed canal
would connect the waters of the nation
generally and give a direct water
route through the heart of the CONT
nont to connect with the Panama
canal. He said that annual savings
OF $4,5O0,000 in transportation costs
would be possible and that electric
power worth $l,0O0,00O annually could
be developed erEr "l
A request for a harbor of refuge at
the mouth of Brule river, Lake Super
ior, was presented. There was some
opposition to the canal by people who
don't think the project practical.

Burns Cost Life of Farmer.

CONTEMPORARIES Freeman, farmer,
died from burns received in a gaso-
line explosion. To thaw out his pump
he set fire to some cloth, which he
had previously soaked in oil and
wrapped it around the pump. The fire
went out, and, thinking there was no
danger, he poured some more gaso-
line on the cloth. There was an ex-
plosion and the burning oil scattered
over Freeman's clothing. His wife
and hired man heard his cries and
managed to get the burning clothes
from his body. His wife's hands
were badly burned.
