JOHN. P. MORGAN'S WILL.
Afirms His Belief in the Doctrine OF
Christ'S Atonement.

Il commit my soul into the hands
of my Savior in full confidence that
having redeemed it and washed it In
His most precious blood He will pre-
sent it faultless before the throne Of
my Heavenly Father, and entreat
my children to maintain and defend
at all hazards, and at any cost OF per
sonal sacrifice the blessed doctrine
Of the complete atonement for
sin through the blood of Jesus Christ,
and through that alone" This is the
extraordinary and striking utterance
which begins the last will and testi'
ment of John Pierpont Morgan, who
died at Rome on March 81 last, whose
body, heaped over with flowers from
the crowned heads Of Europe, was
fortnight later brought back to his
own land and last Monday week was
borne to its last resting place at
Hartford.

The Fight on Opium.

President Wilson has sent spe-
cial message to Congress urging the
appropriation Of $4,000 to aid in the
fight against opium. In his message
the president said:
"In transmitting the accompany
ing report from the secretary Of state,
I most strongly urge not only the i'm
mediate appropriation Of the amount
of $4,000 which is asked, the abso-
lutte necessity for which is so appar-
ent, but also the enactment of the
requisite anti-drug legislation to
which this government is pledged in
sernationally.
t'It is a source of qualification to
me personally and it will always be,
I am confident, a source of gratifica-
ton to the nation that this govern
ment, realizing the extent Of the
opium evil, should have initiated the
worldwide movement towards its
abolition.
cat this vital period of the move
ment, to fail to take the few final
steps necessary, definitely and sue
cessfully, to conclude the work
would be unthinkable and I therefore
trust that there may be no delay in
the enactment of the desired legisla-
ton and the consequent mitigation If
not suppression of the habit which
has caused such worldwide misery
and degradation"
President Wilson is right, and we
are glad to see him take the stand he
does on the fight against opium. One
of the greatest menaces to the future
of the United States is the drug habit,
which has fastened itself upon thou
sands Of our citizens, but we agree
with The Greenville Piedmont that
the fight should not be made on
opium exclusively, but on all habit
forming drugs and powders.

THERE ARE NONE NOW.
No Icebergs This Year When Titan
ic Was Lost Last Year.

Owing to the fact that Seneca, a
United States revenue cutter and the
Scotia, a British steamship, both on
duty as ice patrol vessels in the reg
ion where the Titanic was lost last
year have been unable to find any
ice present in those waters the prin-
cipal transatlantic steamship lines
are now operating their west bound
vessels, over a lane sixty miles north
Of the course which has been follow
ed all winter. The absence of ice Is
accounted for by the mildness Of the
winter just ended. The most SOU
therly iceburg reported so far, this
spring was seen in March by the Rus
sia, Of the Russian-American line and
was encountered ninety miles north
of where the Titanic sank.

LUMBER PLANT BURNED
DAMAGE WILL REACH HALF MIL
LION DOLLARS.
Plant of the Atlantic Coast Lumber
Company at Georgetown Almost
Entirely Destroyed.

The plant Of the Atlantic Coast
Lumber corporation at Georgetown,
said to be one of the largest lumber
plants in the world, having capacity
of one-half million feet per day, was
almost completely destroyed by fire
which broke out Tuesday morning at
about five O'Clock. Famed by a
strong wind from the north which
increased as the flames made head
way it seemed that nothing in the
pathway of the flames could escape,
but one of the mills which was locat-
ed north Of where the fire commenc-
ed and another which was not direct
ly in the direction of which the wind
was blowing remain standing.
Two mills, together with the pow
er house and two dry kilns and a
vast amount of lumber, some 10000
900 feet, were destroyed.
The loss is estimated at about one
half million dollars, completely COW
cred by insurance.
It is quite serious proposition to
a great many. people who were en-
Dloyed in these mills, as well as to
business generally in Georgetown
and vicinity, as this was the chief in
dustry in this section, but the man
agement has announced that the
work of rebuilding will be started at
once, and that the two mills which
were not burned will be run day and
night, so it is hoped that it will not
turn out to be as serious as was at
first anticipated.
Owing to the fact that most of the
pumps were put out of commission
during the early stage of the fire very
little could be done to check the
flames. However, the plant of the
Dupont Powder company, which
manufactures alcohol from sawdust
was saved by heroic work on the part
of the management and employees OF
that plant.
The fire attracted great attention
and a large crowd Of people. in fact
every one who could possibly get out
turned out to witness it.

Where Is Your Boy, Tonight?

The Sumter Herald says: 1.-The
sad tragedy in Greenville was an eye
opener for some Of the parents in
this land of ours. There are parents
in this city who know as much about
their boys habits as an old grey
mule. They know they have gone
"down street., but where, is another
question. And the sad part about 1t
is, they don't seem to care" Where
is your boy, tonight?

SCHOOL KIDS STRIKE
THEY REMAIN AWAY FROM
THEIR CLASS ROOMS.
The Disturbance Was Designed as a
Protest Against the Retention of
Superintendent.

Protest Against the Retention of
Superintendent.
The strike of school children at
Pittsburg against S. L. Heeter, su-
periutendent Of the city's public
school system, spread rapidly Tues
day and resulted in one death. A
little girl was run down by street
car and killed during one of the dem
onstrations.
Beginning Monday when hundreds
of children remained away from
schools a protest against Heeter, who
last Friday was acquitted by jury
of two serious charges preferred by a
female domestic employed at his
home, the strike gained great pro-
portions Tuesday. In all parts of the
city thousands of school children pa
raded the streets, tying up traffic at
a number of busy points.
Police reserves were called out to
maintain order. Late in the after
noon when the demonstrations had
ceased the Pittsburgh board Of edu-
cation held a meeting at which a
committee Of seven prominent men
was asked to Investigate the various
alleged charges of immortality against
Heeter.
The committee follows: W. H.
Stevenson, president Of Chamber OF
Commerce; Valentine Barrie, presi.
dent Iron City Central Trades coun-
Gil; Bishop C. L. Whitehead Of the
Pittsburgh diocese; A. Leo Well
president Of the Voters League OF
Pittsburgh; Bishop ]. r. Canvin OF
the Pittsburgh Roman Catholic dio-
cese; the Rev. Geo. W. Shelton, pas
tor of the Second Presbyterian
Church; the Rev. Dr.. NJ. ]. Levy
rabbi of Rodehh Shalom synagogue.
The unique strike caused the police
considerable inconvenience. A score
of the youthful marchers were detain'
ed at the various police stations until
their parents could be notified. One
little girl was run over and killed BY
a street car during tn excitement oc
,casioned by one Of the parades.
Chas. McCool, aged 35, was arrest
ed in front of a school building anc
charged with disorderly conduct. He
is alleged to have been seen attempt
ing to prevent children from enter
ing school. William Slater, aged 81
was taken into custody, charged with
melting a riot.
Slater and several women attacked
two officers who were breaking VI
banners carried by children inscrib'
ed "Kick Heeter OUT. Banners ol
all descriptions, some Of them infam
matory, are in evidence all over the
city. At a number of points during
the day Heeter was hanged and burn
ed in ef6gy.

POSED AS A POOR GIRL.
For Fear that Some Man Might Mar
ry Her For Money.

Love may laugh at locksmiths
but he SHES at money. That Is the
experience of Miss Thyra Benson,
worth a few millions, who became
the bride of Montague Flagg, the
noted architect, in Grace Episcopal
church, Brooklyn on Wednesday.
The bride met her husband while
engaged in philanthropic work. She
feared that some man would marry
her for her money, so posed as a poor
girl. When Mr.. Flagg found out
how much she was really worth, the
match came near being broken of,
until Cupid asserted himself and said
that his plans should not be inter-
rupted. The wedding was one of the
smartest of the spring.

SMITH STARTS TO WORK.
Active in Behalf of Applicants fol
Federal Jobs.

The Washington correspondent of
The State says South Carolians who
are waiting for federal places and in
whose behalf Senator Smith is work
ing will be glad to know that the lat
ter Tuesday started out Immediately
after breakfast, while the senate was
not in session, and visited number
of the departments rrom which these
appointments are expected to come.
When Senator Smith saw the secre-
tary of the navy, the attorney gen
eral and other department heads, he
said that just at this particular time
he did not care to say anything about
these matters for publication except
that he was much encouraged and
believed that at least one good South
Carolina appointment might be an
nounced when the senate meets to-
day.

A Good Object Lesson.

The calamity howlers are begin
ming to howl that the new tariff law
will ruin the country. Most Of these
calamity howlers, if not all Of them,
have been for years bene6ciaries Of
the thieving tariff, by which they
were enabled to plunder the people
for their own benefit. They know
that under the new tariff they will be
compelled to take their hands out OF
the pockets of the masses and that Is
why they have gone into the calamity
bowling business. But it will not
save them.
This calamity howling business Is
nothing new. 1t was tried years ago
by the manufacturers of quinine
when it was proposed to take the
duty off that much used medicine.
About this time there came to Con-
gress from Kentucky James A. NC
Kenzie. He was highly accomplish
ed, an orator of the first rank, Dem
ocrat of the first water. That man,
by the exercise Of his eloquence, his
logic, his ridicule, extorted free quin-
inc from a Republican congress.
"Pig Iron" Kelley, in sepulchTal
tones, painted the disaster that was
sure to follow and preached pathet-
ic funeral over a murdered American
industry. But the bill passed. The
price of quinine dropped from S6 an
ounce to less than 81 an ounce. Pro-
lection to quinine had fatted the
graveyards Of America with the dead
bodies of millions Of victims. the
price was so high that poor people
could not buy 1t, and thousands or
them died for the want of it. But
that made no difference to the people
who were enabled to charge what
they pleased for it.
After the duty was taken of and
ouinine went down to fifty cents an
ounce, did it kill the quinine industry
as "Pig Iron" Kelley and the calaml-
ty howlers he represented in Congress
predict it would? Not bit OF 1t.
The quinie industry took on new
life, and the number Of factories in
creased to Eve or six times as many
as there was when the duty was TAX
en- off of quinine. So it will be with
other industries when the new tar1r
bill puts them on the free list. But
the calamity howlers will howl on.

FINDS STOLEN CHILD
THE ALLEGED KIDNAPPER is
HELD IN JAIL.
A Search Was Made for the Boy
Throughout Mississippi for Many
Months.

Months.
Robert Dunbar, the eight-year-o1d
child who was kidnapped at the home
of its parents near Opelousas, La,
last August, has been found and
identified by Mr.. Dunbar, the father,
according to a statement made at the
sherif's Office at Columbia, Miss.
A man, giving his name as W. c.
Walters, has been placed in jail
charged with kidnapping the child.
Mr.. Dunbar has the child in his
possession, and while he is positive in
his Identification, he has telegraphed
Mrs. Dunbar to come to Columbia
and see the child, Mr.. Dunbar stated
that his Identification was made by
means Of certain scars and marks on
the child's body.
Walters, who travels about the
country in a wagon repairing clocks
and stoves, stated that window in
North Carolina gave him the child
more than a year ago.
He was questioned closely by Mr..
Dunbar about his movements since
last August, and it is claimed made
several contradictory statements.
Walters was arrested two weeks
ago, but told what appeared to be
reasonable story about the child and
was released. Mr.. Dunbar was mott.
fed, however, and came to Columbia
to make personal investigation
He found the child had been left with
a man named Wallace in West Co
lumbia. After identifying the child
he and several deputies set out ir
search of Walters, whom they locat'
ed near iMorgantown, about twelve
miles north of Columbia.
The Dunbars and their friends
have spent several thousand dollars
in search of the missing child, anc
several months ago offered a large
reward for it's recovery. Numerous
tramps and other migratory individ
uals have been arrested in this anG
other states suspected Of being impli
Gated in the kidnapping, and because
in each case they were accompanied
| by a child.

SCORED BY TILLMAN
WRITES HOT LETTER TO ONE OF
THE PROTECTED.

South Carolina Senator Says Nation
at Large is Going to Get Its Share
or Stop Stealing.
The Washington correspondent Of
The State says Senator Tillman wrote
red hot letter Monday to John Fis-
ler of Philadelphia, who is largely
interested In the Worsted Spinners'
association, in answer to one from
him, in which the South Carolina
senator takes issue with the man
from the Quaker State as to the Un-
derwood tariff bill being radically"
wrong.
Mr. Fishers letter is as follows:
There are many members Of con-
gress who know that the Wilson bill
now before them is radically wrong
in very great many respects. They
know it is deadly blow at the work
shop and yet they are doing nothing
to defeat it. Why? Is it the promise
of political patronage? Is it the
promise of committee appointments?
If so, do they intend to sell out this
great, free, liberty-loving people, for
mess of pottage'? Don't you be
with them, anyhow"
To this Senator Tillman replied:
Yours Of April 19 received. Are
you right sure that you are correct in
charging that the tariff bill now be-
ing considered by congress is 'radi-
cally wrong in very great many re-
spects'?
care you not one Of those Repub-
lican protectionists who have fatten-
ed all these years at the expense Of
the people and have grown rich with
out honest work from it? Pennsyl-
vania has had her full share OF the
graft and stealing wrought by the
protective tariff and the rest OF the
country is now trying to get its share
or pull you of. Better revise your
viewpoint and give other people the
credit Of being as patriotic and wise
as you are"

she came to Macon in February she
has been stopping at the Elberta
hotel, from which place she was re-
moved just before she died. The
body has been prepared for burial
