ITY TO SEND THREE COMPA-
MES BACK HOME-USURP-
ED POWER.
Governor Says He Will Investigate
and If Matters are Not Stralghtened
out He VIII Call off Encampments
of Other Regiments.

Columbia, July 22.-Adjutant Cen
eral Moore was scored by Governor
Blease this morning for his action
In ordering the three companies OF
the Third Regiment encamped at Ak
en- home because the companies did
not have the required quota Of men.
The governor says General Moore
exceeded his authority and assumed
that of the commander-in-chiefw which
is vested solely in the governor. He
says that he is sure the entire mat
ter could have been avoided if some
one in authority at Aiken had noti-
fled him instead of allowing these
companies to depart. Il am going to
Investigate the matter and unless
things can be put in more pleasant
conditions I shall call off the en-
campments at Anderson and Camp
Willie Jones. There is not any need
for continuation of this unpleasant
mes and it must stop one way or
the other" said the governor. The
First Regiment is scheduled to en-
camp at Anderson this week and the
Second at Camp Willie Jones in
August. Capt. j. II. Claffy of the
Orangeburg company one of the ones
ordered home from Aiken wrote the
governor saying that General Moore
told them they would neither re-
ceive rations or pay if they stayed
and hence they went home. The
governor wired Col. Cogswell in COM
mand at Aiken that companies with
less than 3S men and two officers are
entitled to transportation and sub
sistance while in camp saying in his
telegram, Adjutant General has no
authority over and is only a staff
officer with no authority to issue or
ders." In his letter to Capt. Claffy the
governor says he dslikes to think
! the adjuatant general Is drunk on
power or that he has lost his head
on account of his promotion, but there
is something peculiarly wrong in his
conduct" Governor 'Blease issued per-
emptory orders to General Moore not
to issue any more orders unless it
is personally presented to-. him as
the commander r-in-chief Whether the
encampments of the First and Sec
ond regiments will be called off by
the governor remains to be determin-
/ ed, following his investigation of the
Aiken incident.

COST OF BOIL WEEVIL. FIGHT.
Senator Smiths Cottonless Belt
Means Loss of S1OS,OOO,O 900.

Washington, July 21.-FederaI ex-
perts estimate that a loss of almost
s1OS,OOO,0O0 a year to cotton growers
in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and
Florida would result from the adopt
ion of the plan proposed recently by
Senator f. d. Smith, of South Caro-
lima, which contemplated the estab-
lishment of belt in which the
growth of cotton should be prohibit
ed by law, in an effort to keep the
cotton boil weevil from spreading
eastward into the Atlantic coast
States. This conclusion has been
reached by the department of agri-
culture. based on provision for the
elimination of strip about 100 miles
wide down through Tennessee, Ala
bama. Georgia and Florida No fig
ures were prepared to show how this
loss of s1OS, 100000 annually might
be offset, either in part or in full, by
the raising of other crops.

ROASTED IN CAGE.
COnvicts Perish Miserably i'm Missis-
sippi Prison.

Jackson, Miss, July 22.-Trapped
by fames in the second story of an
antiquated convict cage the first floor
of which was used to store hay, grain
and molasses, 35 negro prisoners were
burned to death at tho Oakley con-
Wet farm, 20 miles from here, late
last night. ..
Eighteen charred bodies were re-
moved today from the ruins. The
bodies were found huddled together
In the corner farthest from where the
fire started.
When the alarm was given all pos
sible means Of escape for the impris-
ohed men had been cut off by the
flames, but prisoners in another pen
were formed in relief squad and
worked desperately to fight hack the
fire. The 35 prisoners had perished
in less than an hour after the fire
started.
With the flames rapidly eating away
on the only stairway leading to the
second floor the entrapped prisoners
frantically tore at the heavy bars tha,
covered the windows but to no avail
Their screams brought the two night
guards to the scene before they had
seen the flames and soon other prison
attaches hurried to the cage" Their
efforts were futile, however, as the
flames drove them back each time
they attempted to liberate the men
At last they stood aghast when slowly
the frantic screams Of the burning
convicts died away as one after an
other succumbed to the flames
Finally all was quiet
Everything was in the flames favor
The building was built ten years ago
of lumber taken from a discarded
penitentiary. There is no fighting
apparatus at the farm and the first
floor of the building was filled with
inflammable material. Farmers liv-
ing nearby hurried to the scene to
help the two guards--all that are on
duty at night-and other prison at
taches. but they were Of no assistance
as the fire burned too rapidly.

FEDERAL MEDIATION BOARD
CONSIDERING RAILWAY
SITUATION.
First Days Session Was Without Re-

nonnced That McdiatOrs arc More
Hopeful.

New York, July 21.-The first day
of conferences between the federal
mediation board and the two parties
to the controversy involving q threat
encd strike of $4,000 trainmen and
conductor against the Eastern rail-
roads closed with the official an
nouncement tonight that there was
no change in the situation.
Judge VIM. l.. Chambers, chair
man Of the Cancellation body appoint
ed by the president, said the media
tors were more hopeful, however.
The mediators say they believed
that within a few days the roads may
be induced to consent to have only
the employees wage demand ar
bitrated.
The stand taken by the Erie road
was chiefly discussed at the meeting
btween the board and the trainmens
committee, it was learned tonight.
The Erie withdrew it's representation
III the conference committee of man
ayers last week, declaring it could
not afford TO raise wages and would
not abide by any agreement reached
by the roads and the men. w. G. Lee,
president Of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, explained the
Erie's position and advised the media
tors to confer with the Erie's officials
and induce them, if they could, to
return to the managers committee.

CURRENCY BILL WRAAGLE,
DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF CON-.
MITTEE DISAGREE RADI-

Ragsdaic, Henry and Wingo Fighting
Glass Measure and Have Prepared
Substitute Bill What Is Submitted
TO President Wilson.

Washington, July 22.-The Demo
Gratis of the house banking and cur
rency committee struggled along with
their consideration Of the admnistra-
they adjourned tonight only a few
scattered sections remained to be con-
sidered.
At the same time several socalled
"insurgent" members of the commit
tee prepared to put in a substitute
measure, which would make the bin
conform with some of the more radi-
cal currency ideas, and would en-
brace many Of the recommendation
of the Pujo money trust committee.
Representative Ragsdale of South
Carolina, who yesterday quit the de-
liberations of the committee Demo-
Gratis, Representative Wingo Of Ar
kansas and Representative Henry of
Texas all had hand in preparing
the new bill. 1t would embody many
recommendations of the old money
trust investigation committee.
Representative Henry of Texas,
known as leader of the Bryan element
in the house, who is associated with
the "insurgent" movement, called on
President Wilson at the White House
and presented the changes proposed
in the substitute. The president did
not go over the amendments in de-
tail, but it is understood he will re-
vew them and later will confer with
Representative Henry and those
members of the committee who have
manifested opposition to the Glass
measure
The committee Democrats rejected
by a vote of to a proposition pre-
sented by Representative Ragsdale
which would have made cotton ware
house receipts rediscountable in the
federal reserve banks to be reated
under the new law.
Representative Ragsdale's amend
ment, rejected by the democrats, read
as follows: u;....
Notes and bills. satisfactorily in
dorsed having a maturity of not ex-
ceeding four months and secured by
warehouse certificates, issued by in
divduals or corporations establishing
the ownership of cotton or other
staple commodities suitably standard
lied and stored, may be admitted to
discount by the directors of any fed
eral reserve bank. 1t shall be the
duty of the federal reserve board to
fix the conditions under which such
certificates shall be exhibited as col
lateral to prescribe a standard form
for their issue and to issue regularly
an official list Of those eligible for the
purpose of this section"
A number of minor amendments
were approved Chairman Glass said
that only two important sections re-
manned to be considered. He was un-
able to say when the Democrats would
conclude their deliberations. He is
prepared for strenuous opposition be-
fore he can secure an agreement.

Significance of Christmas

earth, that has spurred on learning.
and art, and invention, so that now
as never before in the history Of the
world, the coming of the kingdom
draweth near.
In the American family, Christmas
is the great day of the year, and from
millions of hearths this morning will
gleam the reflection of the star. 1t
is the humanizing force, drawing
blessed ties closer, and pointing to
higher ideals and a purer life.
But, too, perhaps from one in the
tamily there shines out a clearer
sense, realization that there are diff
ferent forms of happiness, and that
In truth to make mamma, or lite
sister or little brother happy is
sweeter than to be the one directly
blessed. From one Christmas DAVIS
experience with a family of children
he who carefully watches can get the
Key to the character of each one and
can make shrewd estimates how it is
to be with each one, and at night will
find himself looking forward and
predicting where, if life is spared to
all, each one will be found when one
takes up life work and begins to
impress the people whom they will
be with.

Exchange.

For thousands OF years men had
struggled and fought together. AS
they advanced in intelligence and
watched the coming and going of the
seasons, the onward sweep of the cou-
stellations of stars at night, they
watched men advance from childhood
on to intelligence that sometimes
shook the earth and then 81 quickly
withered and passed away; as they
stood beside one open grave after an
other and asked helple ;sly: rs this
all?" no matter how intently they lis
tened no voice replied. Then having
no Cod, they invented gods. Reason
ing in their own narrow round. they
gave to these gods such attributes as
they understood. These gods had
human passions, they were moved by
such emotions as mortals are mo"ed
by, so when they seemed angered
they carried to them gifts to propit-
late them; they offered obligations to
them when they wanted favors; they
carried to their altars gifts in graft
tude for mrecies vouchsafed, and 30
while men advanced in knowledge,
their hearts were not much changed.
Prisoners OF war were sold into
slavery; women, though petted when
young and beautiful were, after all
chattels; wars were fncessant; the
history of the early world was little
more than continuous war bulletins
and mans future home was no more
tangible than is the Indians who
"sees God in clouds and hears Him
in the wind" and whose utmost
dream is of phantom, happy hunting
ground on heights yet to be dis.
covered.
Still men continue to turn and
ask: what is this life for? Where
does an immortal mind find resting
place at last? Why were we giver
to live and to enjoy so much, If it al
ends here? At last the men of Israe
prepared a hypothesis for plan o.
redemption and fixed place for the
soul which is to be superior to deatl
and decay and on that hope som,
more centuries were unwound.
And finally came the mighty an
nouncement that a Messiah was born
