Old Peter left Tom the big
home farm and some comfortable
investments. To the surprise of

awarded was the River lot, with

broken-down cottage, a few farm
implements and a great gnarled
apple tree past all bearing and
dead at the top. People wondered
at the unjust discrimination of
the old uncle. Some, however,
knew that he had always favored
the sister who had died, the moth
er of Tom, and had inherited
some means through her, and
probably felt it a duty to make
her son his principal heir.
Tom Lacey bad uttered no idle
passing threat to Lawyer Dole.

it. He had men in his employ

For all Leila's encouraging
words the prospect was a dubious
one. In word, the four crops of
River BARN were ruined. Early
in the spring, at seeding time
some one had tempered with the
weH-tilled fields. Some one had
put in mustard seed and that of a
tagly weed that had choked out
the wheat, oats, buckwheat and
rye.
THE whole lot isn't good even

REASON SOUTH CAROLINA
REFUSED APPROPRIATION
Secretary Garrison Explains Ac-
ton Regarding Money for
State Militia.

Secretary Garrison has made a public
statement in explana ton of the action
of the War Department in excluding
the organized militia of South Caro-
lima from the list of such organZa-
tions. entitled to financial aid from the
federal government in accordance with
the provisions of the Dick militia law.
With respect to inquiries made of
me, says the Secretary of War, con
corning the relationship between this
department and the Governor of South
Carolina, the facts are, briefly;
Those in control of the National
Guard of South Carolina were not
complying with the law emitting them
to federal aid. The attention of the
governor was called to this and a
rather sharply worded reply received.
Fearing that there was some misun-
derstanding. | wrote a long explana-
tory letter to the governor, stating the
law and the particulars in which his
state had failed to comply, and sug
costing that upon this being brought
to his attention 1t was supposed that
he would desire to comply with the
law and continue to receive the fed
eral aid In response ] have received
another sharply worded letter reter-
ating his previous position and prac-
ticaiiy stating that South Carolina did
not wish any federal aid and would
not do those things necessary to secure
it. The latest letter received by me
from the governor. which is self-eX-
plana tory and seems to close the mat
ter, is as follows:
Dear Sir: l am in receipt of your
letter of June 13 in which you state:
After careful consideration of your
communication dieter of June ~ l
am forced to the conclusion that you
leave the War Department no other
course to pursue than to withdraw all

part their report says:
The result of the running tests made
by the committee showed conclusively
that the brake on the locomotive was in
first-class condition.
Based upon our experience in train
brake operation and brake tests. and the
inspection and tests of the brake equip
ment on the locomotive and cars we are
unanimous in the conclusion that the
brakes on the locomotive and cars in
question were in good. serviceable condi-
capable of stopping the train short of
the home signal at Stamford from
speed approXmating those from which
the stops were made with the train in
