White MAN HOLDS UP EXPRESS
MESSENGER AND MAKES
ESCAPE.
Florida-c Cuba Special of the Seaboard
Held Up for the Third Time
in TWO Years.

Columbia, S. Can unknown white
man, pistol in hand, entered the ex-
press car of the northbound Florida
Cuba Special of the Seaboard Air
Line from Tampa to New York, as the
train was leaving Columbia, COMPEL
ed the express messenger to open the
safe, and after taking from it a pack
age, said to be of slight value, jumped
off as the train slowed up for a cross
ing in the northern limits Of the city.
After the crew had instructed the
crossing Waterman to communicate
with the, Columbia police, the train
proceeded on its way. Neither pas
sengers nor mail clerks were molested.
Officials Of the express company
were unable to estimate the value OF
the packages secured by the robber.
They say they are unable to state
where the stolen package was put
on, and will not know until later how
much money 1t contained.
The robbery is the third of its ma
ture in Columbia within the past two
years. In each case the hold-ups
have been made by one man. No ar
rests have been made in the other
cases

FIRST IN THE STATE
GREENvlLLE COUNTY EMPLOYS
HEALTH OFFICER FOR HIS
FULL TIME.
Dr.. JAMES A. HAYNES AIDS
Seate Health Officer Expresses Hope
That RlchIand and Many Other
Counties viii Soon Follow This
Example In GreenviIIe.

Columbia.-James A. Hayne, M. D.,
state health officer, went to Greenville
recently where he will aid in organic
ing a county board of health for the
purpose of establishing a full time
county health officer. This step OF
organization follows on the act pass
ed by the general assembly permit
ting the organization Of such a body
in that county, and Greenville Is the
first county to. respond to the cam
paign that has been waged by the
state board of health for the creation
of full time county health officers.
DR.. Hayne before leaving expressed
the hope that other counties would
Immediately take up the question Of
the a%dvisability of having county
health officers, as the step would
mean much toward improvement Of
general health conditions throughout
the state. He pointed out that North
Carolina has IL whole time county
health officers, lone Of whom Is re-
ceivingN a salary of less than $1,000,
and that already they had rendered
invaluable service to the state board
Of health.
DR.. Hayne will direct his efforts to-
ward the creation Of a county board
Of health in. RichIand county, which
he hopes in the near future will follow
the example of Greenville county.

Leads In Production Per Acre.


VERY often we hear it stated that
If we could only get the value Of our
agricultural products per acre up to
what it is in the States Of the Middle
West, South Carolina would be the
greatest State in the Union," remark
ed Commissioner Watson recently:
1.-THE truth of the matter is that South
Carolina has a greater vaue per acre
for the IL leading ~crops-corn, wheat,
oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, potatoes,
hay, faxseed, cotton, rice, and tobac-
co, representing more than 80 per
cent of the total area of all crops
than any other state in the South and
than any other state in the Union,
with the exception Of Nevada, Ari-
IONA, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
New Jersey, Connecticut, the only six
states which exceed the distinguish
ed little pioneer. In volume Of agri-
culture none of these six states could
be called an agricultural state, as
agricultural states go today land that
being true, when we consider the
volume of production measured in
millions of dollars, the farm Of 1913,
for value per acre Of crops, belongs
to South Carolina.

Hiah Schools Teach Farming.

Florence. L. Baker, Of Bishop.
Vile, district agent of the farm dem
%onstration work In eastern South Car.
DINA was here recently looking after
the work Of the newly organized de-
partment Of agriculture in the high
schools through his district.
This work is a most interesting de-
velopment Of the aid that the general
government is giving to the people of
the rural districts. 1t is a work pc
culiar to this state at present, where
the department Of agriculture OF the
government is making an experiment
and is being watched very closely.
Under a recent provision Of the bu-
reau in charge of this work, five
schools in each county in the state
have been designated as agricultural
demonstration schools, they being re-
quired to provide land suitable for
the teaching Of agriculture under the
direction of the agents Of the govern
ment. .

CRITICIZE DIVORCE LAWS
Chicago Judge Says Juvenile Courts
Are Related to Divorce Courts.

Chicago.-No divorce should be
granted any person who has a minor
child, unless the child shall have been
provided for to the satisfaction of the
court, Is the conclusion of Adelor j.
Petit, chief justice Of the circuit court,
in an analysis made public of the first
annual report Of the new municipal
bureau of divorce and marriage sta
tistics.
The close relations between divorce
courts and the juvenile courts as in
dicated in the number Of petitions for
the care Of dependent or delinquent
children, is the outstanding feature Of
Judge Petit's analysis. Juvenile court
records since July, 1899, showed So
358 petitions for the care of children.
Of these, the report indicates that ap-
proximately 33,750 cases were the d.
rect result of divorces or the neglect
of parents through drunkenness or
desertion, which would have constitut-
ed sufficient. grounds for divorce.

Prosperity Returns to Philippines.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS complete
recovery from drouth and storms that
paralyzed trade aid farming activi-
ties Of the Philippines last year was
announced by the bureau of insular
affairs. Customs returns from the ISL
ands show the total imports for the
calendar year just ended amounted to
only s53,312,7S6, or SS,355,165 less
than for 1912, while the exports show
a reduction of s7,011,7S2 from the
1912 total of 7,772.956. The 1914 SUI

NEGRO WOMAN IS LYNCHED
Mob at Muskogee, Okla, Hanged Ne.
aress to Telephone Pole.

sress to Telephone Pole.
Muskogee, Okla.-Marie Scott, a ne.
gro woman who killed Lemuel Peace,
a young white man, by driving a knife
into his heart, was taken out Of the
Wagner county Jail and hanged to a
telephone pole. The mob, which was
masked, o~verpowered the jailer, a one-
armed man, threw a rope over the
woman's head and dragged her out Of
the jail. -
The county attorney Of Wagner
county has started an investigation to
determine, If possible, the identity Of
the members Of the mob. :
A knock at the jail door aroused the
sleeping jailer, alone in the Office. A
voice outside said an officer was there
with prisoners. The jailer opened the
door and faced twelve revolvers. He
vas bound quickly and his keys taken
from him. He then was thrown in the
corner.
The mob pulled the screaming wom-
an from her cell, tied a rope about
her neck and dragged her to a tele-
phone pole a block from the jail. An
hour later the sheriff cut down the
dead body.

SENATE HOLDS-UP
CANAL TOLLS BILL
REPEAL MEASURE is REFERRED
TO SENATOR o'GoRMANs
COMMITTEE.
NO UNNECESSARY DELAY
Spectacular and Heated Debate Is
Expected When Measure Is
Introduced.

Washington. - The administration
bill to repeal tolls exemption for all
American coastwise ships in the Par
anna canal, which passed the house
amid spectacular scenes reached the
senate and was referred promptly to
the committee on in%ter-oceanic canals
without debate.
Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the
canals committee, who is marshaling
the anti-administration forces, an
nounced definitely that he would call
a meeting of the committee for next
Tuesday. Until that time, no formal
consideration of the repeal measure or
proposed amendments can develop. Al
though friends of the president had
hoped to have the canals commit
tee meet earlier, they decided to make
no effort to induce Senator O'Gorman
to change his plans. They will insist,
however, upon action within reason
able time after the committee gets
down to work.
Senator Owen Of Oklahoma, major
ity member of the committee, who VIII
lead the fight in the committee for the
administration, visited the white house
and conferred with the president. Later
he made the emphatic declaration that
friends of the repeal bill would not
submit to unnecessar delay in pre-
liminary consideration Of the bill, n
fatty. declared that the gauntlet OF
committee discharge would be hurled
should an attempt be made to impede
the progress of the measure.
That some members Of the commit
tee who oppose exemption repeal de-
sire to have public hearings on the
bill has become apparent, but admins
tration senators insisted that such
hearings were entirely unnecessary
and that there could be no other rea-
son for them except deliberately to
cause delay.
public hearings on this issue are
unnecessary" said Senator Owen, land
would unnecessarily prolong this con.
troversy, which is a clean-cut issue
and thoroughly understood by every
senator. We are entitled to get away
from congress early this time, and
intend to do 1t If possible.

FREE CANAL TOLLS
LOSE IN HOUSE:
MAJORITY FOR REPEAL LARGER
THAN WILSON SUPPORTERS
EXPECTED.
WILSON GREATLY GRATIFIED
220 Democrats Stood by the President
and Only So Voted Against
Measure.

Washington.-The national house OF
representatives, after N Of the most
spectacular legislative struggles in the
history Of the nation, voted to repeal
the provision of the Panama canal
act exempting American vessels from
the payment Of tolls. The vote on the
repeal bill was 247 to 161-a majority
Of Sc votes in support Of the personal
plea Of Woodrow Wilson, president OF
the United States.
This verdict on the issue which has
absorbed congress for many weeks
came at the close Of a stirring day,
made memorable in the annals OF the
house by a party division which found
Speaker Champ Clark, Majority Lead
er Underwood and other Democratic
chieftains lined up in open opposition
to the president on an issue which the
latter had declared vital to his con-
duct Of the nations foreign policy. Z.
: The result was the first struggle
within the party since democracy took
control Of the government a year ago.
The bill now goes to the senate,
where the fight will be renewed with
all the vigor and determination that
attended it in the lower house.
On the final vote 22O Democrats in
the house stood by the president, Civ
ing him in "ungrudging measure"
what he had asked "for the honor OF
the nation" in its foreign relations.
twenty-five Republicans and two Pro.
gressives also voted to sustain the
president. Fifty-two Democrats fol-
lowed Speaker Clark and Leader Un'
derwood to defeat.
Nothing, it seemed, could stem the
tide of administration success. Speak.
er Clark, for nearly twenty-five years
a member Of the house, made the
speech of his life to forestall what he
termed "dnquestionable degradation"
Of the nation. In this he failed, but
he did smooth owe the party breach
with kindly words for his a~dversartes,
praise for President Wilson, and an
unqualified denial of any vaulting am
bition on his own behalf. When he
had closed the debate for the oppo-
sition to the repeal, the speech was
triumphant in defeat, for the entire leg
islative assemblage, in which were
many senators, rose en- masse to cheer
him. ..s.,
In the senate the bill will be re-
ferred to- the committed on inter-
oceanic canals, Of which Senator
O'Gorman of New York, a vigorous OPP
ponent Of the measure, Is chairman.
Senator O'Gorman has said he would
call a meeting Of the committee imme-
diately to consider the bill. That
there will be a fight in that commit
tee is certain. Senator Owen is lead
ing the fight for the president there.

Want Chance at Highway.

Spartanburg.-The commercial or
CARNATIONS of Greenville, Anderson,
Spartanburg and Gaffney have enter
ed an appeal to Director Page, secrer
tary of the American Highway asso-
citation, to have the surveyors make a
trip through these cities before max.
ing a final decision in locating the
Capital-to-C Capital highway. The or
CARNATIONS believe that If the sur-
veyors could come here and make an
investigation they could be convinced
that the proper route for the highway
is through the Piedmont section
Commissioner Watson has been criti-
cised some up in this section for his
stand in having the highway routed
through the lower part of the state.

Mountain Road to be Improved.

At the dinner to the government
engineers recently Andrew Patterson,
Jr., supervisor of Richland county.
said hal he would at an early date
place five miles of the highway in the
Dutch Fork section of the county IN
good condition. He said the i'm
provements would be made in time
for summer travel to the mountains.
That section of the road is considered
the worst on the trip to Henderson
vile and Asheville.
Commissioner Watson Of the state
department of agriculture will confer
with the officials of the United Ststes
office of public roads and will try to
the service of an expert eng1-
neer to patrol the line from Columbia
to Newberry, Laurens, Anderson snd
Greenville during the summer. This
highway serves as a connecting link
between the Capital-to-CCoast high
way and the National highway. The
commissioner will also ask that the
road from Columbia to Charlotte and
Gastonia to be placed under the su-
pervision Of the engineers. This Is
also a connecting link between the
two man highways to the South.
The commissioner will present the
national good roads office with a set
of pictures made along the route of
the Capital highway through South
Carolina, which is to be placed IN
der the superintendent of the engi-
neers.
The maintenance of the highway to
the mountains is considered most i'm
portant especially in the summer
months when travel is heaviest.

Railroad Men Threaten Strike,

Tome, Italy.-Italy faces another
general strike. Eighty thousand rail-
way employees are claiming for an
amelioration of their conditions of en-
ployment, which would represent an
increase of $1O,OOO,OOO in the state
budget. The employees held several
meetings. The most important one
was at Ancona, a great railway cen
ter, where it was decided that If the
government refused to give a salts
factory answer to the demands Of the
men a general railway strike would
be proclaimed April Is.
