ARRESTS MAY CAUSE SENSATION
Negroes Now Held in York County
Jail After Confession.

Fort Mill, Jan. 30.-Jealousy and
revenge for the alienation of the
friendship of two women of their
own race in whom they were inter-
ested is the motive which prompted
Will Gregory and Ned Wilson, young
negro men, to burn a barn on the
plantation of the Lee S. Nevins es-
tate, in Fort Mill township, three
weeks ago, according to the confes-
sion which the men have just made.
to a detective and Police Officer Col
tharp. Both men are now in York
county Jail charged with the serious
crime of arson. Gregory must face
a second equally serious charge, that
of attempting to poison the family
of Burt Nevins, to which he is also
said to have admitted his guilt.
For some time prior to January l.,
Gregory and Wilson are said to have
lived with Viola Rogers and Martha
Hucks, respectively. The women
then left Gregory and Wilson and
moved to the Nivens estate. on land
tenanted by A. G. Wallace. On the
night of January 5, the barn used by
Mr.. Wallace burned, the loss amount
ing to, more than $1,000.
Burt Knox, negro, being unable to
give a coherent account of his where
abouts the night the barn was de-
stroyed, was arrested few days af-
terwards and has been in Jail charg-
ed with the crime. But according to
the confession of Gregory and Will
son, Knox had nothing to do with
burning the barn and he probably
will be released from Jail.

Wilson takes place some rather un-

NAVY OPPOSES BRIDGE.
Reports Unfavorably on the Amend
ed Bill.

Washington, Jan. 29.-A sweeping
report against the amended Cooper
River bridge bill was received to-day
by the senate committee on COM
merce from the navy department.
As the war department reported
against the first bill on account of
the opposition of the navy depart
ment, it is to be taken for granted
that the two departments will stand
together again.
While no detailed statement could
be obtained from either the senate
committee or from the navy depart
ment as to the matter, it is under
stood on reliable authority that the
report just received condemns the
idea of any bridge whatever between
the navy yard and the sea.
AS the subject now goes to the
subcommittee of bridges, of which
Senator Martin, of Virginia, is chair
man, the latter was seen and asked
If there would be any action by the
commerce committee in the absence
of Senator Tillman, who is attending
the Corn Show at Columbia. The
Virginia senator said very positively
that there would not be any action
until Senator Tillman's return. Il
will guarantee this" said Senator
Martin.
On the house side Chairman
Adamson, of the committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce, said
that nothing had been heard from
either department on the amended
bill as introduced by Mr.. Legare.

DAY BY DAY.

Let me be a little kinder,
Let me be little binder
To the faults of those about me,
Let me praise little more;
Let me be, when / am weary,
Just a little bit more CHEEKY,
Let me serve little better
Those that 1 am striving for.
Let me a little braver
When temptations bid me waver,
Let me strive little harder
To be all that I should be;
Let me be little meeker
With the brother that is weaker,
Let me 'hink more of my neighbor
And a little less of me.
Let me be little sweeter,
Make my life bit completer,
By doing what I should do
Every minute of the day;
Let me toll, without complaining,
Not an humble task disdaining;
Let me face the summons calmly
When death beckons me away.

WALKED HERE FROM FRISCO.
Aged German Has Crossed Continent
on Foot.

Doomed by his physical condition
to walk in order to keep up the cir
culation of the blood in his veins and
life in his body, because of injuries
sustained when his house went down
in the San Francisco earthquake, Al
bert Hoffman, an aged German,
reached Charleston Tuesday after
walking every foot of the way from
San Francisco.
Mr.. Hoffman states that he was in
business in Frisco at the time of
the quake, when his home fell, re-
sulting in the instant death of every
member of his family. With the
$1,000 insurance that he received
he went to the Oakland Hospital,
where he remained two years, final
ly leaving there last spring, hoping
to reach his only sister in New York
city.
His injuries are such that action
is necessary to keep up the circula-
tion of the blood and his nervous
condition is such that he cannot ride
on trains. Hoffman is an educated
man and deeply appreciative of any
assistance that is given him. He is
a member of the Lutheran church.
Hoffman left San Francisco on May
1, 1910. He is unable to rest for
more than four hours at time, and
so on his long journey across the
continent he has rested four hours
and then walked four, then rested
four again. He is 73 years of age
and cannot travel more than nine
miles a day. He declares that since
leaving the Pacific coast he has COW
cred on foot 1884 miles.
Hoffman states that he is a men,
ber of the German Aid Society, the
German Turnverein and the German
Singing socities. He is a machlnst
by trade and has been member OF
the Machinists' Union for 40 years.
Before the earthquake he maintained
a machine shop in San Francisco.
From Charleston he expects to
walk up the coast to New York city
to join His Standardization News
and Courier.

Gardner, the world famous actress,
supported by an all star company in
a spectacular six reel production,
cleopatra" From amid the Cleo
patras who ruled Egypt, and they
are a long series of princesses, one
stands out alone. Cleopatra VI, one of
the most remarkable figures in hu-
man history. This wonderful woman
made pawns of world conquerors in
the great game of chess of her time,
and swayed the destinies of the
world through ner mastery of its ma
kers, holding the brilliant Marc An
thony enthralled and even making a
cats-paw of the great julius Caesar.
In this siX-reel production dealing
with the most dramatic episodes of
Cleopatras life, Miss Gardner holds
the center of attraction. Her acting
at all times is one of enthralling fl
deity to truth in its matchless grace
of movement. She is moulded for
the part in feature and form and de-
picts the great queen so perfectly
that the beholder could well imagine
himself looking upon Cleopatra her
self She has put her soul into the
portrayal and she sways her audience
even as Cleopatra swayed her fol-
lowers in days of old. 1t is a master
ly presentation of compelling power.

UNIVERSITY FOR HAMBURG
PLAN BEING OPPOSED

Hamburg, Germany, May IA The
Hamburg chamber of commerce has
declared itself against the proposed
university for Hamburg for the fol-
lowing reasons: That it would re-
suit in various disadvantages to the
town, in that it would shift public in
terest from trade, navigation, and in
dustry, to other matters. That it
would relegate the colonial institute
and commercial lectures to a secon-
dary place, and would injure the
higher grade schools of the town,
which even now are not in flourish
ing condition
Furthermore, a university with only
two faculties would hardly be credit
to Hamburg, and finally it would be
a great drain on the finances of the
city. AS an alternative scheme the
chamber of commerce recommends an
extension of the lectures on trade,
etc. and the enlargement of the CO.
onial institute. This scheme would
serve the particular interests of Ham
burg and at the same time further the
spread Of natural science.
