ment:
Immediately after the resignation
of Professor Moore of the weather bu-
reau was submitted TO the president
and accepted by him, charges were
filed with the secretary of agriculture
by responsible men within the service.
These charges were of such a grave
nature taat the secretary of agrcult-
ure called upon the department OF
justice for an investigation.
The investigation is still under way,
but the facts so far secured and laid
before the president yesterday were
sufficient to warrant him in deciding to
withdraw his acceptance of Professor
Moore's resignation and remove him
summarily, which was done yesterday
The president also has directed the
secretary of agriculture TO suspend
Charles T. Burns, an employe of the
weather bureau pending a further in
vestigation of hi case, and take such
disciplinary measures as he may deem
necessary with such other employees OF
the weather bureau as may have been
unduly active in using the public serv
ice for private ends

recting Mr.. Moore's removal was not
/ made public, but it was stated at the
/ White House that it charged such ir
regularity and misuse Of powers as tC

usual, they were all surprised and
Inundated. Surprised especially-at
being caught while engaged in such
an occupation on quiet Sab
bath afternoon. And if first hand re-
ports are at all trustworthy not a
single one Of the crap shooters would
be a good insurance risk, for they
seem to possess the most complete
and varied assortment Of i'll and lin
gerinis relatives whose slender hold on
life would be snapped in the twinkle
of an eye by any publicity of the
rude and incOnsiderate conduct of the

crocodile tears over their more or

lima Cavalry, commanded by the gal
iant Col. a. G. Haskell. Mr.. Mitch
ell being quite small, served as cour-
ier and scout, seeing service all
throughout that section of the coun-
try, and as he said, was fully ac-
quainted with most of the country on
the peninsular.
He made a gallant soldier through
out the entire term Of service, sur
rendering at Appomattox.
Later in life, he married Miss
Fannie Little, the daughter of Rev.
Mr. Little Of the South Carolina Con-
ference and she, with one son and
three daughters survive him.
Mr.. Mitchell was several times
honored by being given positions Of
trust in the service of his county His
entire life was noted for it's simplicity,
but in every phase of his life he
adorned it with his honesty and his
answering sense of duty, and by his
faithfulness, never neglecting q trust
or forgetting friend
He was one of the very few men OF
q positive force of character who
lived and died without ever having a
known word Of evil spoken against
him.
The funeral services and interment
took place at the Sumter Cemetery
Saturday afternoon at o'clock.
