Worth s4,foo.

Considerable excitement has been
caused at tie Charleston Hotel, Of
Charleston, S. c., by the disappear
ance Saturday Of a valuable pack
age said to contain s4,100. belonging
to one Of the guests. The package
was taken out of one Of the hotels
safety boxes. Publication Of the news

their efforts to ascertain who took
the package and how it all happened.

into consultation as soon as the dis
appearance Of the package was dis
covered and in a short while had de-
tectives searching. It developed that
a former employee Of the hotel had

hands Of a person said to be known.
The former employee was brought
back to Charleston Tuesday from
Jacksonville and held at the police
station. It is said that he assumed
responsibility for the affair and that
he made 8 settlement OF STATS at
once.
It Is said that a brother Of the
prisoner also arrived for the purpose
Of making good the balance Of the
s4.100. 1t is reported that the broth
ers are confident OF being reimburs-
ed when the person who got the
package opens it and discovers that

FLAGMAN AVERTS WRECK.
Georgia Hero, Hurt In Collision Sig
mails Down Fast Train.

Three lives were lost and more
than twenty-five persons hurt, six OF
whom are seriously injured, in a
wreck Of Passenger Train No. on
the G. S. and F. railroad, sixty miles
south Of Macon, Ca, Friday morning.
Trailing in the wake Of the wrecked
train was the famous Dixie Flyer. the
Chicago-Jacksonville train. south
bound, and double disaster was On
ly averted by heroic flagman.
The scene OF the wreck was on
Gum Creek trestle. After the locomo-
tive and baggage cars passed over a
broken rail, the day coach appeared
to have been lifted skyward, then oy-
er the embankment and a heavy Pull
man ploughed into the rear of 1t.
Above the cries Of the injured and
panic-stricken passengers came the
shouts OF Flagman Warner, Of Macon,
himself badly wounded:
Lookout. the Dixie Flyer is right
behind ue," he shouted. Help me
out and I'll stop her"
A passenger standing nearby pull
ed Warner out of the telescoped day
coach and with blood streaming from
his many wounds and one arm Grip
pied, he ran back on the track and
placed fuses and stood there with his
lantern to signal the flyer to stop. He
reached the place just in time, pas
sengers say.

LOSE THEIR LIVES.
Four Seamen of Battleship Wyoming
Go to Their Deaths.

The capsizing in Hampton Roads.
off Norfolk, Va, Friday Of motor
cutter from the battleship Wyoming,
flagship of the Atlantic fleet, result
ed in the loss Of the lives of four
seamen Of the Wyoming's crew. The
accident occurred near the spot where
a launch from the battleship Mime
sofa went down in 1907, with the
loss Of eleven lives, mostly young
midsummer. Another coincidence
was that the Wyoming was anchored
in the same place that the Minnesota
was lying six and a half years ago.
The Wyoming's boat with nineteen
men aboard was carrying wheelbar-
rows from the flagship to the navy
collier Proteus. All the men were
thrown into the sea, and the weight
Of the steel wheelbarTows carried the
cutter under, leaving nothing for the
men to cling to.
Small boats we're sent out and a
passing tug give assistance in the res
cue work. Thirteen of the men got
out. None OF the other bodies have
been recovered, though boats from
the Wyoming and other battleships
we're engaged the remainder of the
day in dragging the roadbed for

Both Senators.

In response to a notification from

their recommendations for four ap-

The senators signified to Commits
sioner Osborn that the sooner these
appointments were made the better
they would be pleased. It is posi-
BILE that Secretary McAdoo will not
be bound entirely by the recommen-
dations. In several states appoint
ments we're announced in the inter-
nal revenue department, which did
not have any senatorial influen"e be-
hind them. In the main, however,
Mr.. McAdoo Is expected to follow the
senator's endorsements as to these
places.

DEATH IS EXPLAINED.
Demise of Newberry Negro Is Attri.
buted to Young Boys.

E!ayes Gladney, a negro, was found
dead the 22nd day Of December in a
field near Maybinton in Newberry
county, having been shot and killed
with shotgun. The magistrate Of
the neighborhood held an inquest,
and the jury found he came to his
death by gunshot wound at the
hands of some person unknown. De-
velopments since led Sheriff Blease Of
that county to believe that two ne
gro boys, George Eddison and An
drew Gregory, aged 13 and ~, knew
something about it, so he had them
arrested Saturday and brought to
Jail Sunday Eddison confessed that
he killed Gladney and Gregory con-
frmed the confession. Eddison says
that he was shooting at something
else. and hit Gladney by accident, but
that he kept silent about 1t, and per-
suaded the other boy to do so, be-
cause they we're afraid.

MAN SLAIN BODY BURNED
LAURENs COUNTY HOUSE GIVES
Up CHARRED ASHES.
Two Negroes Have Been Arrested
Charged With the Crime-They
Deny Any knowledge of 1t.

Burned almost beyond recognition
the charred body of George F. Young
a widely known citizen and one Of
the largest landowners In Laurens
county was found early Tuesday in
the smouldering Goals and ashes of
his own cottage on his plantation at
Stomp Springs, near Reno. It is be-
lieved that he was murdered and the
house set on fire to cover up the
crime. Two negroes, Tom and John
Young, brothers, were implicated by
the coroner's jury and both were
brought to the Laurens County Jail
Tuesday night by Sheriff Owens. Both
negroes testified at the inquest but
their statements were at variance as
to the time Tom cane home and
went to bed with his brother.
Tom was at the Young cottage late
Monday night and returned to do
some work for Mr.. Young Tuesday
.rning when he made the discovery
the fire and gave the alarm. It
came out at the inquest that Tom
had had some trouble with Mr.. Young
in the recent past. That Mr.. Young
was murdered was evidenced by the
fact that his skull had been crushed.
presumably with an axe. Two axe
heads were found near the body,
which lay near the fire place. There
was some doubt at first as to the
identity of Mr.. Young, but careful
examination, with the fact that he
was known to have been at home
Monday night left no doubt in the
minds Of the jury of inquest and they
so found.
Robbery may have been the motive,
as no money could be found on the
person or in the debris. Then again,
it may have been for revenge. MI.
Young was about SIS years old and
owned 1000 acres Of land in Jacks
township. His mineral springs were
widely known and largely patronized
in the summer season. He lived
alone in a small cottage at the
! springs, making occasional visits to
his family. Hundreds Of people from
all parts Of that county visited the
scene, but everything passed OF
quietly.

RYAN SUPPORTS PLAN.
Financier Praises Wilson and bis E-

Thomas F. Ryan. appearing in the
financial district of New York In a
snow storm Tuesday for the first
time in several months, announced
that the National Bank of Commerce,
of which he is a stockholder, will
join the federal reserve organization.
"I hope all the other national
banks will do the same" he added.
"The whole country is proud Of Pres
ident Wilson for the mastery way In
which he handled the most difficult
situation and got results. I consider
it the greatest achievement Of any
president since Lincoln.
"It would be unfair to him and
unpatriotic generally to withhold the
most hearty support Of the great
measure he has evolved and made q
fact. He is great man and great
president and the greatest thing
about him is that he plays no favor
ties"

COTTON GRADE PLAN
SENATOR SMITHS EXPERIMENTS
SECURES RESULT.
Government Tests Show That Texas
Loses 10000, 900 on Cotton Such
as Smith Plan Proposes to Save.

as Smith Plan Proposes to Save.
Experiments which were ordered
by Congress at the suggestion Of Sen
ator E. D. Smith to determine the dit-
ference in spinning value between the
various standard cotton grades, have
proceeded far enough to sustain the
senator's theory that this difference
is by no means so great as would be
thought from the price paid the pro
ducer OF the staple.
Out Of this investigation, which Is
being made by the department Of
agriculture under the supervision Of
it's cotton expert, DR.. N. A. Cobb, re-
suits are accruing which will be Of
vital Importance to the cotton grow
ers Of the South. The experiments
have been carried on with total Of
about 120 bales, half Of eastern and
half of western upland cotton, which
was put through the Danville, Va,
mills under the regular process used
for commercial cotton.
Parallel tests were made at the
Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical
college in South Carolina, and addi-
tiona1 checks will be obtained from
technical laboratories elsewhere be-
fore a final report Is published.
Enough has been learned from the
tests already accomplished to justify
the following semi-ofhcial statement
Of their significance:
"It has been shown conclusively
that much Of the lower grade cotton,
for which decidedly lower price Is
paid, works into just as good yarn
and fabric as slightly more expensive
grades. In the case Of Texas this
year much Of the cotton was badly
stained and weathered in the field,
but these experiments have shown
that the bleaching process used In
the mills Is effective and cheap and
has no appreciable effect on the
strength Of the yarn"
At a hearing before the House
committee on agriculture experts for
the department recently said that this
stained and weathered cotton IN
Texas has sold for or cents
pound, when 1t was intrinsically
worth 10 to IL cents a pound, as
demonstrated by the Danville expert
ments. The total loss to the farmers
Of Texas alone this year on this ac-
count, one of the experts told the
committee, will probably reach s4o.-
0oo, 900.
AS an object lesson to give practi-
cal effect to the outcome Of the spin
ming experiments the department Of
agriculture will prepare fifty or more
sets Of exhibits, showing the grades
of cotton handled, the amount OF
waste in each, and the character Of
the yarn produced. both before and
after bleaching: These exhibits will
be installed at the various agricul-
tural colleges which are interested.
and with as many cotton exchanges
as care to have them on view as an
aid to the grower.
