 When, the advisory committee of the railway executives of the United States, commonly known as the Trumbull com mittee, since Frank Trumbull is chair man of it, was working out the problem SD that the committee might be ablxe to lay certain recommendations before the subcommittee, if that be authorized by the action of the House. President Har- rison of the Southern Railroad company cordially asented to a request for the assistance of A. P. Thomas of Washing ton, general counsel for the company, southern man. Mr Thomas is recog- nized as possessing profound natural and acquired gifts for his professional work, He is distinguished for an art of con- versation and exposition which has ca used him sometimes to be spoken of as copper plate speaker so distinct and clear are his utterances.

May 2S-Orders for rolled products taken by the steel mills since May 1 have fallen off t5 to 20 per cent as compared with the April bookings, but business is still in excess of mill capac- ity. In some lines the smaller orders arc cue R.Cre to the refusal of the mills to accept contracts because of oversold caIacity, rather than to any important decrease in demand from consumers.

(By Associated Press.)

THE HAGUE, July 24.-"If the
International Socialist bureau has not
as yet succeeded in bringing the
Austro-German and Allied Socialists
together, President Samuel Gompers
OF the American Federation of Labor
certainly could not accomplish the
task says Camille Huysmans, secre-
tary OF the International Socialist
bureau, to correspondent of the
Associated Press, in answer to a
proposal of Mr.. Gompers to hold a
world labor conference during the
progress of the peace conference fol-
lowing the war.
Mr.. Huysmans pointed out that any
International conference without the
participation of the British and
French Socialists would be a farce
In that its decisions would be entirely
lacking in influence.
He declared his belief that Mr.
Gompers proposal at present is i'm
practicable, and he deprecated the
idea of the American or international
Trades union organizations trespass
ing on the political domain of tn,
Socialist International bureau. H,
declared that such conference
would have to be held under thu
auspices of the latter organization
and naturally he would not approve
OF such congress if the British ant
French were unwilling to participate
The Socialists constitute the cen
ter of gravity in the matter O
influencing the war and when the,
are ready to act" Mr.. Huysmans de
clared, "a congress should be helc
even without awaiting the peace con
ference" He believes, however, thai

MANS DECREASING HEIGHT.
When Adam and Eve Walked Around
They Were as Tall as Trees.

They Were as Tall as rees.
1t was q French savant named
Henrion who 200 years ago gave to
the world authoritative statements as
to the height of Adam and Eve. He
said that the father Of the race was
123 feet 8 inches high and Eve lis
feet 8 inches. He noted that from the
creation Of these enlarged editions Of
humanity degeneration had been rap.
i'd; that Noah was only twenty-seven,
Abraham only twenty and Moses but
thirteen feet in height.
According to this French authority,
If the Christian dispensation had not
arrested this decrease man by this
time-200 years ago would have been
a mere microscopic object, and we may
conclude that by our time he would
not have been at all. M. Henrion did
not give any explanation as to how he
arrived at his estimate of the height
of these ancients.
Perhaps the most gigantic story on
record Is that concerning an immense
skeleton, said to have been In Sicily.
which measured 300 feet In length.
This story, however, carries its own

GIVEN ANOTHER so DAYS.
Governor Respites Man Convicted on
Murder Charge.

Columbia, Feb. 12.-Governor
Manning today reprieved for sixty
days A. G.. Tolbert, of Greenwood,
who was to have been electrocuted
here today. Tolbert, white man, was
convicted early in the spring of 1915
at Greenwood, of killing his wife and
was sentenced by Special Judge
Thomas F. Mellow, of York, to be
electrocuted April 2, 1915. Execu-
ton of this sentence was stayed by
an appeal to the supreme court. The
appeal was later abandoned and Todd
was resentenced to be electrocuted
December 10.
Upon recommendation of the State
pardon board Governor Manning re-
spited Tolbert until today in order to
give time in which thorough ex-
animation of the mans sanity could
be made. This examination has not
been completed, hence the governors
act in granting another respite Of
sixty days.

They Appreciate The Herald.

The Herald goes into many homes
away from South Carolina, and it
must be appreciated, judging from
the tone of many letters we are con-
stantly receiving.
Mrs. NJ. Blount, valued subscrib-
er at Fernandina, Fla, who has man.
friends in Bamberg, in renewing he'
subscription, says: Your paper i:
always welcome in our home.'
Mrs. C. F. Ellzey, good friend of
The Herald, who now lives in Savan-
nah, in renewing, says that she can
not do without The Herald. The
Herald management appreciates these
words of praise.
By the way, that just reminds us:
If you have a brother, sister, uncle,
aunt, or any other relative, who used
to live in this county, but now re-
sides elsewhere, you could confer no
greater favor on him or her than by
sending The Herald. Suppose you
try it. Your relative will love you
better for your thoughtfulness.

Whiskey in His Suit Case.

A hackman's inquisitiveness can
be blamed for the arrest shortly af-
ter 1 o'clock yesterday morning of
Charley Spires, a farmer from near
Denmark. Spires was arrested by
Acting Sergt. Weddigen on a charge
of carrying contraband liquor in the
night time. When his case was re-
ferred to Magistrate Burnet yester-
day morning he was held for trial
at the court of general sessions. He
furnished 5000 bond for his appear
ance.
Spires, who has a farm near Den
mark, with two other men, went up
to Aiken and there secured a lot OF
whiskey which, it is said, was
brought from Augusta. The men
were homeward bound and, while
asleep in the coach, Spires stated,
they passed Denmark and rather than
get off at some other small station,
they continued on to Charleston.
Early yesterday morning Spires
and his friends were to go to the
Union station to board the early
morning train. AS suit case was
handed a hackman, the man remark
ed, "Gee, it is heavy. Must have
whiskey in it," Spires replied "yes. y
Acting Sergt. Weddigen, who was
standing nearby, overheard the brief
remarks and arrested Spires. There
were six quarts of whiskey in the
suit case. The defendant claims that
all of the whiskey was not his, but
admitted that he had charge of the
suit case.-News and Courier.
