VOTE LATE TONIGHT.

London, Jan. 30.-VOte on the home rule bill passed by the House of Com
 mons was expected in the House of Lords late tonight, when the last of the speakers will have finished their debates.
 on the measure was resumed, this af- ternoon. It was foregone conclusion that the Lords would defeat the meas ure and it was equally certain, that their rejection would be impotent to prevent the enactment of home rule.
 There was not much of a crowd present to hear the debate. There were. however: many fashionIa1bly and the diplomatic corps was well represented in the ambassadors gall 1ery. The peace delegates were in at the House of Commons, including most of the Irish leaders, were given places at the bar of the House, or be-
 The seats reserved for the Princes of blood royaf' were vacant, the Duke of Connaught being in Canada, the Prince 3f Wales, entitled to a seat as Duke of Cornwall, being too young, while the third. the Duke of Albany, could not well interfere in British politics being now a foreign ruler, the Duke of Gotha- AL. though they were present, it was said that King Georges intimate associates. like Lord Stanfordharn and others, would refrain from votin" for fear of laying the Sovereign open to charges of partisa nship.
 The governments utmost strength in the Lords is less than 80, while there are 636 members and it was probable that more than 500 would vote.
 ELECTION FIGHT ON.
 Londonderry, Ireland, Jan. 3O.- With home rule for Ireland, the para mount issue in. British politics pend ing and closely contested by-election ever held here is being fought out, to- day.
 The result of the ba11oting will de- Province of Ulster, made by the Ma tiona1ists (for home ru1e) and the Unionists (against home rule.)
 Although Ulster is generaly@ spoken held only IT of it's parliamentary seats while the Nationalfsts hold 16. The Unionists controlled IT constituencies though they haVe had but 16 mem bers since the recent death of the Duke of Abercorn- His son, the Mar quis of Hamilton, was the Unionist m ember for Londonderry but he was compelled to succeed to the Dukedom, which took him out-of the Commons and into a seat in the House of Lords.
 The Nationa1ists have been making desperate efforts to capture this seat which would give Ulster a, home rule majority and when the voting began, today, it appeared that they had ex- cel1ent chances for success.
 David c. Hogg, the Nationalist can today, is strong home rule advocate and a Protestant. He hoped to get some of the anti-Catho1ic votes and was sure of all the Catholic home rule people. Con H. A. Peckenham is the Unionist candidate.

ENGINEER HORTON INJURED.
Freight Smash-up on Seaboard Air
Line at Chester.

Chester, March 8.-A local freight
on the Seaboard Air Line Railway
wrecked itself here this afternoon
near the Eureka Mill, badly hurting
Engineer Horton. The freight had
some shifting to do at the mill and
the engineer left most Of the cars on
the main line and took several cars
and was backing into the mill siding,
when the remainder of the cars that
had been left on the main line start
ed to moving. The grade is very
steep there, and before the engi-
neer could get his engine out of the
way the other cars ran into the cab
of the engine, smashing it consider
ably and badly hurting the engineer,
who received a severe cash in the
head, and his legs and arms are also
badly bruised. He was taken to Mon
roe, N. c., tonight. The track was
also considerably torn up, but has
been again put in shape.

Tillman Scores Office Seekers.

Washington, March 11.-Senato1
Benz. R. Tillman of South Carolina to
day evinced his displeasure at the
persistency of hundreds of olf1ce
seekers who have flocked to the capi-
tai since the Inauguration. With
characteristic vigor the senator con-
demned the scramble for jobs. He
said the situation reminded him of 9
Bible text. Il have forgotten just
where in Holy Writ I read it" he
said, but it fits the case exactly and
runs something as follows: The
wild asses of the desert are athirst
and hungry. They have broken into
the green corn"
The senator recalled that the text
contained a reference to the wild
asses' trampling down the corn, but
he said he would leave that out. He
added that he had full faith in Pres
ident Wilson as a ''herdsman, who
would keep the wild beasts from do
ing any damage"

Short-lived Giants.

The tallest woman in the World
died recently. She was 8 feet inches
in height. but she lived only thirty
eight years.
This calls attention to one of ma
ture's curious contradictions. Giants
are notably short-lived. Not long
since a boy nearly 8 feet tall died
soon after his eighteenth birthday;
and instances where men much above
7 feet in height have reached the age
of so years are almost unknown.
Length of days does not go with
excessive length of limb. But tall
ness which stops short of glantism
usually is a sign of vitality. Tall
recruits in continental armies-pro-
vided they are of proper weight
give least trouble from sickness, and
gain most from physical training. 1t
must be remembered in this connec-
tion that "tallness" is not the same
everywhere. Men accounted tall IN
Southern Italy would be rather short
in Western Scotland or among the
native stock of America.
It is as if nature had fixed a stand
ard height for each race and pun
nished by some physical shortcomlng
those who varied much from that
standard in either direction.

Hair Turns Gray.

London, March 9.-The recent loss
by drowning of one of the light keep
ers from the Wolf Rock Lighthouse
has recalled many stories of the hard
ships and dangers undergone this
winter by the men who kept vigil on
the rock-bound Cornish coast.
The Longship Rock lighthouse, just
off Lands End, has storeroom dug
out of the solid rock, which forms
the foundation of the lighthouse.
While the keeper was visiting the cel-
lar one morning he looked out of the
trap door and saw huge wave COM
ing. He had barely time to close the
door before it was assaulted by thou
sands of tons of water. The thunder
of the wave and the terrifying noises
created in the rock cavern by the
rushing waters caused such nervous
shock to the imprisoned keeper that
his hair is said to have turned white
during the few minutes of his i'm
prisonment.
Probably the most remarkable ad-
venture in the annals of the light
house construction fell to the lot of
Engineer Douglass, of the famous Ed
dystone light. When he was building
the Bishops Rock light he tripped
and fell from the top of the tower so
feet above the rock base. Before he
had time to reach the rock a great
wave covered it, and when the horri-
fed Workmen looked down they saw
him swimming back unharmed toward
the rock.

PRIZE SNAKE STORY.
Said to Be Faster Than a Horse and
Over Ten Feet in Length.

Philadelphia, March Sit was a
whopper! No, not the story, but the
snake. 1t was part of the narrative
of a Lycoming county huckleberry
contractor who employs an army of
pickers. He was here to place con-
signment of the sylvan fruit with
Philadelphia produce merchant.
up in the Alleghenies, he said,
they are telling snake stories. The
snake is prominent now. Berries
grow only on the high mountainside
or snake zone and their harvesting is
attended with actual danger. There
is no place so snug as huckleberry
bush for snake to hide under and
as sure as a hand is thrust beneath
the foliage sheltering copperhead 1t
will receive hypodermic injection OF
green venom that will harass the own
er for a lifetime.
THE berry-picking season is a time
of adventure and of Drawing the rat
tier in his den, and therefore the flood
of snake stories.
Everybody at the postofice in
my village, where the farmers gather
in the evening, was talking about
huge black snake that makes Sc
questered outlying farm it's headquar-
ters. The reptile was first seen on
the farm five years ago and since then
it has made it's appearance with in
creased length and girth every sum-
mer. The farmer is skilled hunter
and a good shot but his bullets have
so far been wasted on the heath.
1T was not only his size, but his
extraordinary speed, which astounded
the farm hand who first saw him.
"I was cutting rye field and had
stopped my mower to rest the horses,
he said, when I heard low whistle,
which l thought must be a locust. /
throwed my eye over the field. Lo-
Gust, the devil! 1t was a black racer.
The head and about two feet of the
snake stuck out above the level of the
rye, and he swept across the field
faster than a horse can run. He pass
ed close to me and his eyes flashed
like fire.
"At another time the snake was
surprised by woodcutter, who came
upon his snakeship taking nap at
full length on a rail fence. When
aroused the snake snapped together
like stretched elastic band and gil
ded off into the woods.
Here was a chance to take his
measure, as the serpent was slightly
longer than the rail he occupied. The
rail measured ten feet.

Blease Pardons His Auto Driver.

Coulumbia, S. C. March S.-"If po-
lice authorities of Columbia do not
remit the fine of 1915 imposed upon
my chauffeur this morning by the re-
corder 1 will hereafter pardon every
man who applies to me from that
court. If they will steal from me
who paid the fine-they will steal
from the other fellow" said Governor
Blease when he discussed the fine
of his automobile driver, Harrison
Neeley.
The Governor said further:
"Clinch Cathcart is angry because
his father was not reappointed clerk
to the Richland county board of con-
troll, and he is trying to take it out on
me-
Yesterday Officer w. T. Kelley held
the watch on the governors automo-
bile. being driven by Neeley, and oc-
cupied by the Governor. The police
man claims that the machine was
overspeeding the limit. He summon
ed the driver to appear before the re-
corder this morning, and he was con-
victed of the charge, being fined S3.75
or five days on the chain-gang. The
Governors private secretary paid the
fine.
This morning the governor issued
a pardon to the chauffeur.
Chief of Police Cathcart stated this
morning that he had received the par
don, but refused to consider it until
he had the opinion of the city attor-
ney, H. NJ. Edmunds, if the governor
had the right to pardon from a NUM-
cipal court; that he had not remitted
the fine.
The governor stated that, if the
fine is not remitted, he will sue for it
in order that the legal status of par
dons for municipal offences will be
settled for all time; that lit will be
the dearest fine the city of Columbia
placed on any person"

Another South CarOlinian Lands.

Washington, March S.-South
Carolina is scoring heavily in the
first days of the Wilson administra-
ton. Yesterday the President, on
the advice of Postmaster General
Burleson, decided to nominate Dan
iel C. Roper, formerly of Marion, S.
c., to be First Assistant Postmaster
General, and to-day the Democratic
caucus of the Senate chose James NJ.
Baker, of Lowndesville, S. c., to fill
the important position of secretary

of Senator B. R. Tillman, who pre-
sented his name to the caucus, and
also of Senator E. D. Smith.

Lowndesville in 1861, and has al
ways retained his legal residence
there. He was educated academic
ally at Wofford College and studied
