pal Church in this country, to some ex-

away Usually you will find these
same men each night among the loi-
terers at the street corners.
Another type comes in as soon as
the doors are open, in a gentlemanly
and orderly manner dons his working
tCgs, and sits down to read the morn
ing paper. 1t is probably the only
chance he has to read, and it is u.s.
ually the ball score he turns to first.
But, why not? All day long he does
the very best that is in him, although
he does not seem to accomplish much.
He leaves the plant as he came in,
and you call him good fellow, who
does the right thing always. You
would, of course, grade him as good. "
Another type comes in quietly, and
at the same time each day. a few min
utes before the bell rings. His step
is brisk, he is clean shaven, his
clothes are pressed and clean, his
manner courteous, and his work is
perfect, always allowing a reasonable
shrinkage. He is always willing to
suggest and help the little fellow, and
he does each day much more than he
is paid to do. He has the welfare of
the plant at heart, and is the kind of
material from which managers and
superintendent are made. This type
may be classed as experts" in their
line of trade. In fact there are no
better workmen. --American Machinist

~coNeEsTVE CHILL VACANT HOUSE ON SECOND STREET.

Dead since Monday supposedly from
congestive chill. the body of George
Upshaw was this morning found lying
on a cot in the front room on the lsst
floor of the two story lodging house
No. 800 Second street.
Upshaw, a white man about 40 years
of age, and semi-paralytic, has lived
here for several years eking out pre-
carious living by manual labor in now
ing yards and working gardens in spite
of his physical handicap. By permits

charge of the property, Upshaw was
allowed to occupy a room in the build
ing, which was otherwise untenanted.
The last seen of him alive was when

about noon last Monday he complained
to Mrs. Pasch, whose home is next
door to where he died, of being sick,
saying he had had two hard chills that
morning. The dead mans body was
discovered when a search was made
this morning to learn the cause of
doors eminating from the building, all
the doors to which were closed.
When found the body had swollen
to nearly twice its natural size and
had so blackened as to be almost be-
yond recognition.
Coroner F. H. Mckenzie, upon learn
ing of the find, empaneled jury of
inquest, who after investigating the
case, returned a verdict that the man
came to his death from natural causes.

dispatch stating that Edwin Singleton
the girls father, had received a tele'
gram from her to the effect that she
had not been stabbed. Miss Single

Dean Stone of Columbia, said he

to the incomes of citizens; the aboli-
ton of all tariff on scores of items of
immense Importance to American in
dustry and American consumers and a
heavy reduction of tariff rates on
most of the articles in general use in
this country, are it's chief features.
While certain portions of the law
do not take effect at once, mo- of its
provisions and almost all the direct
tariff reductions, do.
At every port Collectors of Gus
toms, Appraisers of Merchandise and
hundreds of other employees of the
Treasury Department will plunge at
cnce into the task of collecting. the
nations revenue on a new basis, and
with hundreds of new classifications
and new provisions of law to compli'
cate their activities.
The federal government has been
spending nearly billion dollars a
year and the new tariff law will raise
less than one-third of that sum. Re-
cent estimates by tariff experts in
Congress predict that the rates will
raise SPAS, 100000 year; and that the
income tax will raise $100,000,000.
reat income is made up principally
I internal revenue taxes and postal
receipts.
The income tax probably will bring
the new tariff law most forcibly to
the attention of citizens. President
,EilsCn and democratic leaders in Con-
gress believe, however, that the reduc-
ton of duties on clothing, food stuffs
and other necessaries of life, and the
complete removal of the duty from
many like articles, will eventually
bring a reduction in the Cost of liy-
ing" without materially affecting bust
ness prosperity.
A brief summary of the new tariff
law as prepared for the Senate fol-
lows:
Average percentage of tariff rates
as compared to the value Of all i'm
ported merchandise: old law 81 per
cent; new law 81 per cent
Value of annual imports added to
the free list. $147.0Oo,OOO.
Estimated revenues from all import
rates: old law, $305, 900, 900; new law,
$24s, 100000.
Estimated revenue from corporation
and incomes taxes: old law, $37,000,-
900; new law, s100,000,000.
Altogether, consumers in the United
States probably will receive from
abroad free of all tariff, more than
81 900 ,000, 900 worth of merchandise
during the next year.
During 1912 the amount of free i'm
ports was more than $SS0,000,000,
and when the tariff Is entirely removed
from wool, sugar, iron ore and cheap
iron, and other important iterls, the
total is expected to increase Notably
Under the old law more than SO per
