WON'T HONOR JOHN H,oW\
Charleston City Council Declines Re.
quest of SJ.0

News and Courier.
THE committee would respectfully
recommend that the legacy be not ac-
ccpted,' is the substance of the re-
port Of the committee on Artesian
well and lot made at the semi-monthly
meeting of City Council last evening,
and which was adopted in regard to
the bequest of Amelia Il. SOuthall. of
Harpcr's Ferry w. Va, of $1,000 for
the purpose of erecting an ornamental
fountain in the city of Charleston to
the memory of John Brown. The
communication OF Mr.. p. H. Aylett,
executor of the estate of the deceas-
ed, was read at the previous meeting
Of CO.. Gil and the matter referred to
the committee.
Protests in regard to the bequest
were read by the clerk from Camp
Sumter, United Confederate Veterans,
and from the local chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy. Both
papers were to point and expressed
in unmistakable terms the character
of John Brown as viewed by the
South.
The following is the report Of the
which the matter was referred:
The committee on Arstesian we'll
and lot, to whom was referred the
communication Of p. H. Aylett, Esq,

b. SOuthall, of Harper's Ferry, for
five thousand dollars ($5,OOO) for the
erection in q park or square of the
city of Charleston, of a marble and
bronze drinking fountain memorial to
John Brown, would respectfully rec
ommend that the legacy be not accept
ed.
with no desire to engage in con-
troversy on the subject the committee
feels that it is sufficient to state that
the conception of the character OF
John Brown entertained by Miss
SOuthall and the people of the South
is SO radically different, that it cam
not consistently recommend the ac-
ceptance of the legacy for the purpose
stated and would so report to city
council.
The committee would recommend
that the letters of protests submitted

500 HORSES BURNED.
Animals on the Rembrandt Were
Meant for Allies.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 10.-Practically
board the British steamship Rem
brandt were burned or smothered to
death when the ship caught afirc off
the Virginia capes yesterday, accord
ing to information reaching here to-
night. The Rembrandt was bound
from Baltimore to st. Nazaire, France,
and the animals are understood to
have been intended for the armies
of the allies.
1t was reported here tonight that
Capt. Edlin, of the Rembrandt, had
notified officials of the Lamport and
that she was set on fire by German
spies who were members of the crew.
The captain is said to have claimed
that threats against the ship were
made before it steamed from Balti-
more Saturday. No confirmation of
these reports was available.
Tonight the Rembrandt was steam
ing backward and forward in a circle
ten miles off Cape Henry, while the
crew was busy disposing of the car
cases in the sea. Less than dozen of
the horses are said to be alive. 1t
was expected that the work would be
completed tonight. after which the
Rembrandt will proceed to Newport
News for repairs. Forward compart-
ments of the ship are reported badly
damaged.
When the fire Was discovered the
ship was POO miles off the CapeS. The
smoke was so dense that the crew
could not reach the flames. And the
Stampeded animals were left to their
fate. The ships hold was flooded
and the matches closed, these efforts
finally resulting in the fire having
been brought under control.

PROVES GOOD QUALITY.


Clemson College. Nov. 1O.--South
Carolina butter made at Clemson
College has again been awarded a
high honor ana this time by the most
expert dairymcn in America, the
judges at the National Dairy show.
the annual milk COW classic which
has just been held in Chicago. At
the National Dairy show the butter
entered by Clemson College scored
% points out OF possible 100. put
ting ii in the grctuy to he desired
class of butter scoring more than 90.
The argument is sometimes heard
that Southern butter can not be
made as good rs Northern butter. In
the past few years Clemson College
has done much TO remove this prcju-
dice against Southern butter, not only
i'm South Carolina but in other States.
she has done this by going into the
market in competition with Northern
butter and especially by making high
scores NJ cXnlp,tS or nauOnal or
Sc ational character. That Clemson S
butter is uniformly excellent is dem
onstrated by the fact that she scored
highest of all the entries in the
Southern zone at the sixth Annual
Corn Exposition, Dallas, Texas, and
that her score was 90, the same as
that made at the National Dairy
Show.
A feature Of these high scores is
the fact that the prints Of butter en-
tered by the college are not specially
made for exhibition but are, on every

While some are advocating referring
