EXTRA TERM AT AIKEN.
Negro Harrison Miles to be
Tried on Murder Charge.

Columbia Special to Charlotte
Observer, Feb. IS: At the re-
quest of Solicitor Gunter, Gov
ernor Blease last night issued
an order for an extra term of
the court of general sessions to
be convened at Aiken on the
second Monday in March for
two weeks. At this time the
negro, Harrison Miles, charged
with the killing of Mr.. Court
ney, will be tried for murder.
This negro is now in Columbia
in the penitentiary for safe
keeping.
On account of the trial of
Beach, the New Yorker, the
criminal docket for Aiken was
not finished and several pris-
oners are in jail awaiting trial,
and it was for this purpose that
the extra term was ordered.

who seek to enter will be out of
all proportion to any good that
can possibly be promised for
for this measure.
"My observation leads me to
the conclusion that so far as the
merits of the individual immi-
grant are concerned, the test is
altogether overestimated. The
people who come from the coun-
tries named are frequently il
literate because of opportuni-
ties having been denied them."

The Farmers Need.

Time and again South Caro-
lima farmers have demonstrate
ed their ability, with the soil
and climate of this state, to
make an acre of ground pro-
duce more corn than has been
produced by an acre of ground
anywhere else in the world.
But the average yield of corn
per acre for the state shows
that the average corn grower
in this state is not q scientific
or intelligent corn grower,
many states with inferior nat
ural advantages producing more
per acre, on the average; and
the success of corn growers of
the West in carrying off the
prize for excellence in the quail
ity of corn produced, shows that
we have still much to study and
to learn in perfecting quality
through seed selection.
One thing is known. There
is no doubt, no uncertainty, no
problem about it. 1t is known
that the average yield of corn.
can be raised, without nearly
eXhausting possibilities, from,
say, 18 bushels to 28 bushels.
That would mean an increase
on three million acres of 3O,-
100000 bushels of corn. That,
we say, can be done. To do it,
the understanding of better
methods in planting and of the
direct influence on the yield of
the quality of seed used must
be disseminated. This infor-
nation must be carried from
the scores now possessing it to
the thousands who need it.
One of the chief purposes of
this corn exposition is to catch
the interest of the farmer and
hold it until he gains informa-
tion that will cause him to
change his old methods for bet
ter methods, and so put money
in his pockets and increase the
wealth of the state of South
Carolina.
An addition of 30,OOO,OOO
bushels of corn to the present
yield of South Carolina would
mean much more than increas-
ing the states wealth by the
value of that corn. 1t would
mean the development of other
industries; it would mean di-
Versification. South Carolina
would quickly become a cattle
raising, and bacon and beef
producing state. And in the
wake of that industry would
follow more soil improvement
! the land would become more
! fertile and therefore more pro
! iductive.-The State.

Subway Builders Unearth Old
Well.

New York Dispatch 18th.
One of the six wells which
the Dutch Burgomasters au-
thorized as New York city's first
water supply, may be the one

THIRTEEN ENEMIES.
That Many Foes of Children in
California.

There are thirteen "chlid en-
emies" in California, according
to DR.. l.. M. Powers, the city
health commissioner of Los
Angeles, who told who they are
and where they live, as follows: {:
l. Doctors who don't report
their cases of contagious dis
eases.
2. Dirty milkmen.
3. Flies.
4. Tubercular COWS.
D. Persons who conceal con-
tagious diseases.
6. Hokey-pokey men.
7. Reckless automobile speed
ers.
8. Violators of quarantine.
9. Manufacturers Of adulter-
ated candies.
10. Manufacturers of adul-
terated foods.
II. Child slavers.
II. Parsimonious taxpayers
who place the boarding of
money above measures for the
protection Of child-life.
l3. Mothers who needlessly
deprive their babies of mothers
milk.
This list is worthy of study,
particularly since many of the
enemies named are not only of
the child but equally of the
adult, and they are enemies
against which all society should
do BATTLE" said DR.. Powers.

SHOOTS AT WIFE AND
KILLS HIS DAUGHTER

James Purcell, Veteran New
York Gambler, Fires on His
Family After All-Nigkt Quar-
rel-Was Partner of ROsen-
thai.
New York, Feb. 15.-James
Purcell. the veteran gambler
and one-time partner of Her.
man Rosenthal, who testified
before the aldermanic commit
tee last week that he had paid
police graft over period of
seventeen years, quarreled early
yesterday with his wife in their
apartments and began shooting.
Mrs. Purcell tainted, but wild
bullets struck their 13-year-old
daughter, Agnes, who lay cow
ering in bed, and killed her al
most instantly. Thinking that
he had murdered both women,
Purcell surrendered himself to
the police and was locked up.
The gambler was so hysteri-
cal when he staggered into a
police station that he was un-
able to give a coherent account
of the affair. He and his wife
had quarreled nearly all night,
he sobbed, until he at last lost
control of himself and rushed
at her with cyolver. -Four
shots were fired, two of which
struck the girl. One pierced
her breast and right arm, an
other plowed through her left
arm.
The tragedy may have an i'm
portant bearing on the graft in
vestigation now being pushed
by District Attorney Whitman.
PurcelPs testimony, given last
Friday, resulted in the suspen-
sion of two police captains and
his story was being counted on
as the basis of indictments.
With him in a cell charged with
homicide, his testimony may be
invalidated.
Jimmie" Purcell was at one
time a partner in a gambling
house with Herman Rosenthal,
for whose murder former Lieu
tenant Becker and four gun men
are in the death house at Sing
Sing.
Since his testimony against
the system, Purcell told the po-
lice yesterday he had been
Stunned by his friends as
"squealer," and bounded by
the cops" Even his wife was
ashamed of him. He became
morose, sullen. Early last night
they quarreled. They were still
at it at dawn; then came the
shooting.
Il guess you want me- said
the gambler, little later, as he
slouched up to the desk at a
station house near his apart
ment.
For what >" demanded the
lieutenant.
For murder" said Purcell.
Then he told his story.

PRESIDENT VETOES
IMMIGRATION BILL
DisapprOves Measure Because
of Literacy Test-Pens Brief
Message to Congress Giving
His Reasons For the Veto.

MeSSdSc 10 SOuSTeSS NiNuS
His Reasons For the Veto.
Washington, Feb. 15.-Presi-
dent Taft yesterday vetoed the
Dillingham-Burnell immigration
bill, which would revolutionize
the immigration policy of the
United States by imposing a lit
eracy test upon all foreigners
seeking a home in America.
In a short message to the SEN
ate in his own handwriting, the
President announced his disap-
proval of the measure solely
becal E the provision, which
woulo the doors of the Uni
ted st against the alien who
could .loL read some language
or dialect.
The veto message was accom-
panied by letter to'the Presi-
dent from Secretary Nagel, de-
nouncing the literacy test as a
radical provision biased upon
a fallacy in undertaking to ap-
ply test which is not calculat-
ed to reach the truth and to
find relief from a danger which
really does not exist" The
President adopted the secre-
tary's position.
PLAN TO OVERRIDE VETO.
Senate and house leaders lost
no time in arranging for an eff
fort to override the veto. AS
soon as the message was read,
Senators Dillingham; and Sim
mons, and Representatives Bur
nett, leading the congressional
supporters of the measure,
made arrangements to take it
up in the senate Monday and in
the house Tuesday. With Sen
ator Lodge, they were confident
that the bill would be passed
easily in both houses by the
necessary two-thirds vote.
Opponents and proponents of
the proposed law waged a Wig
orous contest in hearings before

Eddie Victim, a regular Eng
lish boy, is-coming to America!
Eddie's grandfather was over
here in 1859, and folks couldn't
do enough for him. They feted
him and cheered him and praised
him and ran after him as long as
he would stay.
Eddie is a young chap not
much over five feet tall, rather
good looking, very pleasant and
as democratic as laboring man.
He's a blonde with blue eyes, red
cheeks and big, white teeth. AS
to accomplishments this English
boy-who is coming to see Can
ada and the Yankees, too, maybe
runs like a deer, manages a
bicycle like q trick rider, knows
a lot about books, social niceties
and nautical terms. e
He's a first-class sailor and has
the reputation of possessing won
derful tact.
Eddie Victims proposed desti-
nation is Canada. But If Uncle
EOdln ohouhu OAO WI no -

vite the foreign boy over the borss
ders to see the wonders of the
United States-well, If he does.
and he's accepted, U. S. girls
won't let wind or weather stop
them when there's a chance to be
in at the reception.
Eddie's chief hobby is to be a
REGULAR boy. He drinks wine,
but no beer. He smokes a pipe,
but no cigarets. His best game
is hare and hounds and he de-
lights to Guido every one else in
politeness.
BY the way, Eddie's full name
is

Life Indications on Mars

Investigations recently conducted upon
an elaborate scale at the great observa-
tory of Flagstaff. Ariz., prove to the sat
isfaction of many astronomers that the
network of canals on the planet Mars
is evidence of mighty efforts on the part
of the Martians to preserve the fast dim
inishing supply of water The telescope
has revealed that Mars is evidently
world of unusual beauty, says Popular
Mechanics but bearing signs of great
age; a planet inhabited by intelligent
beings, put world. which has reached
the period when its seas have practically
dried up. The heretofore startling claims
of Prof. Percival Lowell, who was one
of the first scientists to insist that Mars
is the abode of a race of highly civilized
people, are now being ably supported
by Prof. James Worthington, another
noted scientist, who says that there can
no longer remain any doubt of the exist
ence of canal builders on Mars. The same
authority also declares that the construc-
ton of these canals is made compara-
lively easy because the Martians have
no mountains to contend with. In an
other section of the report on this in
teresting subject, Prof. Worthington
says: Assuming that the Martian at
mosphere exerts a pressure of two and
one-half inches of mercury upon the sur
face-and it can scarcely be greater than
| this-Lowell has shown that water would
boil at temperature of Ill degrees
F. As the solar energy falling on Mars
is certainly not less than that which
heats the rocks of the Sahara to at
least 130 degrees f.. it is clear that evapo-
ration is much more rapid than here; and.
consequently, water travelling in an open
channel would evaporate long before 1t
| reached the tropics of the planet, jour
ney which we know occupies several
weeks. 1t is. therefore. probable that
| the water is carried in something akin to
| pipes and this is rendered the more
| plausible by the fact that the water does
not flow naturally. but is driven, a con-
| clusion to which the shape of the planet
has led us The professor further de-
clares that, ION account of the weak
ness of gravity on Mars, it is probable
that, though water may be scarce, yet
| the commoner parts of the earths at
mosphere may be present there. Among
| these gases are those which make life
possible here, namely. water vapor, oxy-
| gen, nitrogen and carbon dioxde. 1t ap-
pears, therefore, that we are justified in
| concluding that the atmosphere of Mars
| may be like our own, though less dense,
| and that it is disappearing gradually"
