the little ones hang onto me in the
same way. feel myself much bless
ed and if old age could be left out l
would consider that l am having the
time of my life, but think | have
said enough on the subjects related
in the foregoing. l will mention
now in particular my friend, Mr.
Willie S Dennis, one of the best men

kind hearted man. He has built
nice dwelling on his place near the
iron bridge over Black river at
Kingstree, and one standing on the
bridge. looking up hill at the build
ing, no doubt would think there is
no prettier residence in town. Mr.
Dennis bought the lot on which this
house stands latter advised him to
do SOL from Mr. Joel E Brunson and
unfortunately had to pay for it the
second time, as the Baptist church
had some claim on the land. He
has erected saw mill on the same
lot and is doing a good business; he
expects to enlarge his plant soon,
and has bought saw mill timber up
the river and also a good lot of tim
ber from my old and esteemed
friend, S R Mouzon. l have sold
him my boat, the Wanderer, which
he is going to use in towing flat
boats up the river to transport his
lumber down to Kingstree. 1t made
me feel sad to part with the Wan.
derer.
Farewell, Wanderer, thou hast
been a gallant boat; thou hast faith
fully borne over the bosom of this
old river the youth and beauty of
Williamsburg, the aged matron and
gray haired sire to and fro in safety
and without accident; thou hast
been a wanderer all thy days. Built
by an old master, also a wanderer
for four score years, but he does
not bid you yet a final adieu, for
your old master will visit you now
and then at your mooring.
Hoping to say more about my
friends in this section at another
time, l remain as ever, P C.

resentative James F Brynes, of
South Carolina, today introduced a
bill to reduce the mileage of mem
bers to Congress to and from Wash

TAXIS MUSTN'T
PICK UP FARES
GOING TO GARAGE
Jitney Regulations Exempt
Them Unless They Do
Jitney Business

TaXicabs which pick up" fares
along the street will be subject to the
same egulations-including fine liza
bilities, bonds, etc. required by the
jitneys under the new ordinance that
is now being enforced by the city au-
thorities.
The jitney ordinance eXcepts "taXis,
however, which transact business from
a public stand or garage. This is con-
strued by the city authorities to mean
that the taxi which goes direct to the
home of the fare, transports him to
his destination, and then returns di-
rectly to the garage for further calls
does not come within the provisions
of the jitney regulations.
Sightseeing cars which are hired
for that purpose only, are exempt also.
The taxi or sightseeing car driver who
| stops enroute to take on passengers,
however, places himself within the
pale of the jitney ordinance require
ments and he makes himself liable to
the penalty for violating the regula-
tons.
No Further Action on Jitneys
Despite the appeal of the jitney
i drivers yesterday City Council can
make no changes in the jitney ordi-
nance. The law, it was pointed out, had
been given more than ordinarypublicity
and the question had been threshed
out for weeks prior to it's final adop-
ton by Council. Had the jitneurs so
desired they might have organized a
referendum movement but no action
was taken until after the measure
went into effect.
| In the course of the argument be-
ment before Council yesterday as to
the amount of bond required. City So
licitor ID. S. Seitz called Councils at
tention to the fact that 5000 to $3.50
is not required for all the bonds. The
big item which the surety company
considers when it fixes such a high
rate is the indemnification problem,
| If the jitneyman has property OF
money to cover the proposed bond, he
may not be required to pay such a
| big sum. The surety companies, how
ever, decline to underwrite bond for
| any jitney chauffeur who is without
property or financial backing unless
| the sum charged for furnishing the
bond is sufficient to pay for the risk.
Jitney license No. was taken out
to-day by George w. Swope, 1910
Briggs street. His bond for $4,000 was
approved by Daniel S. Seitz, city So
licitor. Swope has been in the jitney
business for five months.
| Within the new few days the Meals
ordinance comforting police authority
on chauffeurs. drivers and engineers
in the city fire service will become ef-
| fective. Council will meet at 10
O'Clock in the morning hereafter, the
measure changing the time from l
o'clock in the afternoon to 10 o'clock
in the morning having heen passed
finally yesterday.

would stand solidly behind President
Wilson in the crisis. The opinion pre-
vailed that none of the intervention
resolutions would be reported at pres
ent and that n majority of the COM
mittee would uphold the President in
his determination to give the Carranza
government a chance to demonstrate
its ability to establish order in Mexico
and to punish murderers of American
citizens. The date called for in Sen
ator Falls resolution regarding the
Carranza government and its rec
ognition was not before the committee
and Chairman Stone, who saw the
President earlier in the day, could not
say when it would be ready. For that
reason the committee did not consider
the nomination of Henry p. Fletcher
as ambassador to Mexico, Republicans
insisting that they would not vote his
confirmation until the Presidents re-
sponse had been received.

Washington. \ map OF the Middle
West was taken into his office and he
worked personally on arranging an
itinerary.
AS many speaking engagements as
possible will be crowded into several
short trips because the President is
reluctant to be away from Washington
while Congress is in session.
While he plans to devote his
speeches principally to the admins
tratton army and navy plans, he un-
doubtedly will touch on the Mexican
problem.
EX-Mayor Baker, of Cleveland,
asked the President to-day to include
that city in his itinerary and Senator

includes the Supreme Court dinner,

ton. February IS, and a dinner in

the support of the navy, and were
intended to support the mobile army
along the coast line. Guns of large
caliber, he said, would be rushed to
any point to drive off enemy war
ships, protecting landing parties. The
new Notifications planned for Cape
Henry, Rockaway Beach and San
Francisco, he said, would require an
additional force of fifty companies.
These will be equipped with sixteen
inch rifles, but the witness did not go
into details. Every fortification now,
