Rig skyscraper for Greenville.

Greenville, Feb. 14.-Informatlon
from what appears to be a reliable
source is to the effect that the South
eastern Life Insurance company IS
planning the erection of a skyscraper
on the property situated on the South
west corner of South Main street and
West Broad streets. This property
is said to have been bought yester-
dav bv Mr.. J. I. Westervelt for the
insurance. company, of which he is
the president. The price is said 10
have been $25,575.
No statement, either in denial or
affirmation of the report that the
huilding was to be erected could be
secured this morning from either Mr..
Westervelt OF from Mr.. T. 0. Law
ton. the general manager of the
Southeastern, but information from
other sources leads to the belief that
the reports in circulation are abso-
lutely correct. 1t is understood tnat
q meeting of the purchasers OF the
property is to be held this afternoon
at which the plans for the building
are to be discussed.
The new building will be "A stories
high and will be of reinforced con-
crete, it is said. Reports on the
streets this morning had it anywhere
from three to twenty stories high
Information from the same source
from which the fact that the lot had
been purchased for the Southeastern,
however, was to the effect that "A
stories would most probably be the
height of the structure.
A portion of the building will be
occupied by the home office OF the
Southeastern while much of the other
will be for offices.
The property has frontage on
Main street of II feet and seven
inches with depth of 100 feet. The
price per front foot was $619. The
property was bought a little over a
year ago by Nh J. w. Norwood
The announcement that a skyscraper
will most probably be erected in the
city, will be received with the great
est pleasure. For some time there
has been a feeling that the year 1913
would see the erection of such a
structure.
One report has it that the building
will not be erected by the Southeast
ern company, but will be erected by a
new company and will be occupied by
the Southeastern.

yETOEs IMMIGRATION BILL.
Taft Disapproves of Measure Because
IT Would Lock Doors Against Aliens
Who Cannot Read.

Washington, Feb. 14.-President
Taft today vetoed the Dillingham;
Burnett immigration bill, which would
rovolntionize the immigration policy
of the United States by imposing a
,iteracv test upon all foreigners seek
ing a home in America.
In a short message to the senate IN
his own handwriting, the president
announced his disapproval OF the
measure solely because Of the proVas-
ion which would lock the doors OF the
United States against the alien who
could not read some language or dla-
lect.
The veto measure was accompanied
bv a letter to the president from Sec
retary NageI denouncing the llteracy
test as a radical provision based up
on a falIacy in undertaking to apply a
test which is not calculated to reach
the truth and to find rellef from
danger which really does not exist. -"
The president adopted the secre-
tary's position.
Senate and house leaders lost no
time in arranging for an effort to
override the veto. AS soon as the
message was read Senators Dilling-
ham and Simmons and Represent
ative Burnett, leading the congress-
sional supporters of the measure,
made arrangements to take it up in
the senate on Monday and in the
house On Tuesday. With Senator
Lodge they we're confident that the
hill would be passed easily in both
houses by the necessary two-thirds

vote.
Opponents and proponents OF the
proposed law waged a vigorous con-
test in hearings before the president
for the last ten days. Organized Ia
bor warmly supported the bill, While
several organizations, particularly
Jewish societies recommended its
veto. Foreign nations protested
against the provision for detailing I'M
migrant inspectors and matrons on
vessels flying foreign flags, but Sec
retary Nagel held that this was not
a controlling objection to the propos-
ed law.

 COMPLAINTS
Meeting of City Council Considers Objections to Assessments for Improve ments on North Central Avenue

There was war at the session of
 the City Council last evening, Coun-
 ciIman Cisney presiding upon the oc-
 Casion of the hearing of the pro
 tests against the assessment dia-
 grams and the assessment of the cost of the paving of Central Avenue from the junction of Van Buren to the city limits. There were plenty e protests, even the Barber Asphalt Company, the contractors for the job were there with a big kick also. Judges Ainsworth, Lewis and l. T. Stoddard, together with J. J. Swee- ney kicked. They couldn't under stand why it was that some cases smaller parcels of frontage should be checked up with a larger assess ment of the cost. Clay Parker assist ed in the little game of kick me, but before it was all over it was found that the cty engineer in mak- ing the diagrams, had used informa- ton that was incorrect, and not up to date This caused the greater part of the trouble. However resolution was passed correcting some of the assessments according to the objections of the Barber Company The other protests were laid over until this evening when another ses- sion of kick me will be held.
 Following this matter the council entered into the discussion of much routine business. The petition for retail and wholesale liquor business at Is West Jefferson street, which was granted. The petition asked for the business in the name of M. Green.
 The question of the paving of Cactus Alley came up. and D. DonO- frio asked that before any definite action is taken he be allowed time to confer with the Ellistons. He was anxious also that his area awys, through which light and air gets into the working basement of his candy factory be preserved if possible. The council granted the request and in structed the city engineer to begin 1 the preparations for paving the alley l fifteen days from date.

CHANGE OF NAME BUT
 NO CHANCE OF NATURE
Business Outgrows Office and Name in Six Months and Now Makes Its Bow as "Shedd's Mer
 certile Service.

This morning, just siN months after it's very first birthday, Harry l.. Shedds collection bureau rechristens itself-hencefOrth it will be known all over the world as "Shcdd's Mercantile Service"
 The old name wasn't big enough. Stretch it as he would Shedd simply could not make it cover the manifold activities of his busy office. Col lections. credit ratings. notary and legal work, services as administrator, trustee. and assignee. accounting and auditing, looking after the business interests of nOn-residents, and other similar activities serve to emphasize the truth of the office motto, 'I$f it's Business We Do It"
 This is the second time the Shedd Mercantile Service has stepped up pace. The first quarters in the office of Struckmeyer & Fisher couldn't hold the business but three short months when a new room was taken at 401 Goodrich building This office is already crowded and is seems that neither new room nor old name is big enough for bouncing business no more than half a year old
 I'uL IiuIll OlIiCe space ana 1ndn1Old names means mighty little to the Collection Business. and if this Mer- cantile Service hadn't been Mercan- tile Service, "chances is it wouldn't he any service at all bv this time MT. Shedd has a pleasing way of making reluctant debtors feel that the only right and reasonable thing they can do is come through" He is never disposed to push q man who is really hard up or down and out and some of his best friends are people from whom he has collected unwilling dollars.
 Some folks raise big row about thelr bills and depart from the sacred precincts of MT. Shedd's office in high dudgeon-and next morning bright and early they show up with a long sheaf of bills and a broad smile
 Here, you're a pretty good collector: you got some money out of me. now see If you can't collect a little for me Cn these bad ones.' So the business IS self perpetuating and Shedd's Ser vice smiles.

 We further wish to thank the citi- zens of Phoenix for their loyal sup port during the progress of this strike and request that such support be eN- tended to us in the future.

for settlement the land having, upon
examination been found to be more
valuable for agricultural than for for

the settlement of agricultural areas
within the forest is encouraged in
