Augusta Business Section Safe.

Augusta, Ca, March 16.-Tonight
at 10 o'clock there was not a drop OF
water on the 700 block of Broad
street, the centre of the business dis
trict of Augusta. Reynolds and
Jones street, between 10th and 18th,
are under from two and half to four
feet of water, and some of the small
shacks are submerged up to the win
dows.
The river reached it's highest stage
at 10 o'clock this morning, when the
gauge showed 35.1 feet. 1t remain
ed at that stand until about 6 o'clock
this afternoon, when the waters be-
gan to recede, and at 10 o'clock to-
night shows 34.S feet.
Water flooded cellars on the north
side of Broad street from 10th to
14th streets, but not below. Half
the sidewalk on the north side OF
Broad street was covered until b
O'Clock, but below that block the
water did not show on the principal
business street. The residence Sec
ton of Reynolds street, one block
nearer the river, was submerged from
9Th street up, including Cotton
Row."
So far as can be ascertained at this
time the loss is remarkably small
throughout the entire city, and prac-
tically no inconvenience has been SUI
fered this time, whereas year ago,
and in 1908, there was large loss and
considerable suffering.
The levee work along the river
bank, which has been in progress
about four months, and which it WILL
take a year longer to complete, IS
said not to have suffered at all seri-
ously, as a result of the high water.
Throughout all the business dis
trict, except the few blocks on one
side Of the street where the water
still stands few inches, the mer-
chants began late this afternoon re-
placing their goods and preparing 10
resume business tomorrow morning.

Three Boys Lodged in Jail.

Anderson, March 13.-Lee Major,
the young white man who shot Victor
Wood, lineman of the Interurban
Railway company, during a Joking
conversation while they were riding
as, passengers on an interurban cal
near Pelzer late last night, was
brought to Jail here tonight from
Pelzer by Sheriff Ashley. Along with
Major weres brought Henry Major
and Fisher Strickland, all of the Bel
ton mill village.
Yesterday afternoon the two
Major boys and Strickland were fir
ing pistols on the road near Charley
Ashley's home, two miles south OF
Bolton. Ashley told them to stop,
whereupon they fired three shots at
Ashley. Ashley returned their fire
with Winchester, none of the balls
taking effect.
Sheriff Ashley went to the scene
with bloodhound and tralled the
boys for some distance. Warrants
were issued. The three boys, on
learning that officers were hunting
for them, boarded the 9 o'clock in
terurban car bound for Greenville.
Shortly after getting aboard the three
boys became engaged in a conversa-
ton with Wood, and the shooting
of Wood followed. Wood is in a
hospital at Greenville. The bullet
entered his left chest, passing across
his body. The wound will hardly
prove dangerous.
The three boys lodged in jail to-
night are laughing and Joking about
their escapades yesterday afternoon
and last night

CLEVELAND CHIEF GUILTY.
"Golden Rule" Fred Koehler Dicharg-
ed From Office.

Cleveland, March 1.-THE civil
service commission tonight announc-
ed that it had found Fred Koehler,
"golden rule chief of police, guilty
of "gross immortality, conduct unbe-
coming an officer and gentleman and
conduct subversive to good order and
discipline in the police department.
and Immediately discharged him
from Office.
The charges were filed by Mayor
Baker and the trial of the chief oc-
cupied the whole of last week.
Koehler attempted to prove alibis
in rebuttal of two specifications and
declared the third covered an entire
ly innocent action.
1--WE should add to the sentence a
permit to this officer to receive full
pension to which a retired officer is
entitled, in view of the term and
character of his service, but we are
without power to do So" said the
commission.
In statement issued last night
Koehler indicated his willingness to
resign if allowed to receive his full
pension of $125 a month. If discharg-
ed his pension would be S65 a month.
Koehler is 49 years old. and had
been a member of the department for
"a years and chief for 10 years. His
policy of golden ruling" first offend
ers and minor offenders has made
him one of the best known police
chiefs in the country. The title of
BEST Chief in America was con-
ferred on him by Theodore Roosevelt
on the occasion of one of the former
presidents visits to Cleveland.
The commissions decision praises
Koehler's work as police chief and
says that while in other cities po-
lice officers have been guilty of cor
ruption and extortion,/ Frederick
Koehler is poor man.
Three years ago Koehler was tried
and acquitted by the civil service
commission on charges of drunken
ness and personal misconduct in
office.
Mayor Baker issued statement to-
night in which he praised Chief
Koehler's record and the efficiency OF
the police department under him and
regretted the necessity for his separa-
tion from the department. under such
circumstances Koehler would say
nothing about his dismissal.

CONFEDERATE HOME ROW
d. A. DICKERT RESIGNS AS MEM
BER OF BOARD.
Says He Will Keep on Fighting
Until This Thing of Grating
at the Home is Stopped.


governor refused to accept my resig-
nation 1 intend to keep on fighting
until this thing of grating at the
Confederate Home is stopped" said
Col. D. A. Dickert, of Newberry,
member of the commission charged
with the administration of the affairs
of the home, yesterday, following
what is said to have been a stormy
session of the board.
The members of the commission
are D. A. Dickert, Newberry; ]. 4.
Crews, Laurens; ]. G. Long, Sr., Un-
ion; A. W. Todd, Charleston, and M.
C. Welch, of Columbia, an inmate of
the home.
Officers Named.
Col. Dickert told the story of the
meeting yesterday afternoon. He
said that the board decided to con-
tinue H. W. Richardson as superin-
tendent and DR.. F. W. P. Butler, as
physician, at least until the April
meeting.
1--WE met out at the Confederate
home in executive session for the pur-
pose of reorganizing. 1 nominated
J. G.. Long, Sr., as chairman and ]. T.
Crews secretary of the board. They
were elected. 1t was then that A.
W. Todd took the floor and in a
smooth voice began to nominate H.
w. Richardson and DR.. F. w. P.
Butler. Mr.. Todd wanted to retain
all of the present officers. Todd said
something in reply to one of my
questions. I protested against the
action of Todd. He invited me out
of the room. I told him that it was
not necessary to leave the room, that
we would settle the entire matter
then and there. When I entered that
room 1 knew that Richardson and
Butler had things fixed up so as to
be reelected. I kicked on their
plan"
Col. Dickert said that following
the executive meeting he returned
to the room to find Mrs. Mixson say
ing some very hard things about him.
Il asked her who made the state
ment that 1 had tried to reflect on
her management She told me that
it was Richardson" continued Col.
Dickert.
Denounces Richardson.
"About this time," he continued,
Richardson stepped in between and
said that he had made the state
ments.'' (Here Col. Dickert quoted
language denouncing Maj. Richard
son in severe terms.)
"Following the meeting I went to
see the governor. He told me that he
did not intend to stand for the same
proceedings at the home. He said
that he would call them all up and
stop the abuses of the rules contin-
ued Col Dickert.
81 told Richardson and Butler that
if they did not resign that I would
and that 1 did not intend to stand
by and see the grating go on. I in
tend to expose the whole d-n thing.
"In the first place Richardson and
Butler were elected to their present
places without my knowledge. was
not at the meeting when they claim
to have been elected" said Col. Dick
ert.
1t was stated yesterday by Col.
Dickert that the next meeting of the
commission will be held in April and
that a majority of the members de-
cided to retain all of the present en-
ployes of the home until that date

KINGS RESTRICTED DRESS.
Fines Imposed Helped to Fill Golfers
of MonarchS.

OF NlOndrCIS.
In comparison with the wide varie-
ty of styles, and the freedom with
which people choose their dress at
the present time, it is interesting to
note some of the restrictions of few
generations ago. The reigning SOW
ereigns of the different countries
have been largely responsible for the
strict laws which have been in force
regarding dress. In some countries
the idea has been to prevent extrava-
gance among the people; in others
the use of different styles as dis
tinctive feature of the various grades
of society and a desire for money on
the part of the monarch has led to the
making of laws, the breaking OF
which was punishable by fine to be
paid to the crown.
Henry VIII, for the latter reason,
resolved on regulating the dress CT
the country and ordained that any
one wearing costly articles, except
persons with liberal income, should
be obliged to keep ready horse and
armor for the kings use in time OF
war. 1t was also ordered that ":f
any temporal person of full age,
whose wife x doth wear any gown,
or petticoat of silk, or any velvet in
her kirtle, or in any lining or part
of her gown-other than cuffs CT
edging-or pearl or stone or any
chain of gold about her neck, or
upon any part of her apparel, have
not found or kept a light horse fur
nished shall lose 10 pounds every
three months while he has so neg
lected." This required the husband
of the woman of fashion to pay not
only the dressmaker's bills, but to
meet the tax-gatherer every three
months with 10 pounds.
During the reign of Henry " no
person of low mark was allowed &c
wear any cloth of gold, or velvet, or
to wear a robe long enough to reach
the ground. The wearing. of long
sleeves was also forbidden.
Not only in England, but in many
other countries have peculiar laws
regarding dress been in force. Un-
der the Emperor Paul of Russia, a
man wearing long trousers instead OF
knee breeches was certain to be ar
rested. Even the texture of the neck
cloth was regulated by law, and
man was caned in the public stree.
for wearing one of more than the
prescribed thickness.
Laws restricting the wearing of
wooden were enforced in no uncer-
tain way in Egypt a few centuries
ago. The wearing of woolen gar
ments was the custom chiefly of the
Door. but occasionally of the rich, or
by priests, who were permitted an
upper dress of this material, but the
wearer was obliged to put it off be-
fore entering the temple. In no
grade of society was the wearing OF
wool next to the skin permitted.
