Soldiers on Guard, Since Car
Strike Has Been
Ended.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
DENVER, Colo, Sept. 9.-For the
first time since August Z Denver to-
day was under civil law, following the
proclamation late yesterday by Col c.
G.. Ballou revoking martial law here.
Col. Ballou has been military COM
mander of Denver and it's suburbs
since the first week in August, when
800 troops from Camp Funston were
rushed here to quell the riots result
ing from the street car strike.
Five hundred troops will remain to
act in conjunction with civil authori-
ties and under their direction. No
further trouble is feared, although
employees apparently have lost the
strike, the tramway company refusing
to negotiate with the men and contin-
uing to hire new men to take their
place.

Quota Plan Not Used.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-RepuDllcan
leaders planned drives for campaign
funds in practically every city of the
country but never fixed any city
quotas, Harry NJ Blair, assistant treas
urer of the republican national COM
mittee testified today before the COM
mittee of the senate investigating
campaign funds.
In modified form his plan is being
vigorously pushed, Blair said. Blair
named twenty cities where he said
campaigns have been or will be con-
Quoted.
There was plan. he said, to have
Fred w. Upham, national treasurer OF
the republican party pass on tn city
chairmen the quotas suggested for
certain cities by state chairmen, but
this plan never was put into effect, he
declared.
City quotas have been fixed, he ad-
mitted, but said in every case it was
done by state and city workers in con-
ference.
He denied any city quota list was
ever drawn up at national headquar-
ters or that fifty-one cities in twenty
seven states were assessed $S,l45,0oo
as charged by Governor Cox.
Blair declared Coxs charges con-
corning a s15,o0O,000 G. o. P. cor
ruption fund had helped repu ohcan
fund raising and that the senate IN.
vestigation has speeded it up instead
Of putting a damper on it He charS-
ed the republicans were being "perse
cuted" because they set out openly to
RINSE their campaign fund.
Toledo, Ohio, tentatively accepted
quota of $4,000, Blair said. He test1-
fed Columbus quota was S65,ooo anu
SIS. 900 to $4,000 has been raised.
.I think 100000 is the voluntary
quota set by Columbus Blair said.
THAT is what Governor Cox SAID II
was in his speech Reed said.
Reed quoted from the official buile-
tin of the finance department a state
ment that Cincinnati Business men
had undertaken that city's quota

UNDULY ACTIVE, IS CLAIM
Sheriffs Protest Against Officers il
Cosnell Case.

The News and Courier.
Washington, March 1e.-Counsel
for the prosecution in the case OF
the state against Deputy Collector Of
Internal Revenue Jake Gosnell,
charged with killing Sheriff Hendrix
Rector Of Greenville are bringing to
the attention of Commissioner OF In
ternal Revenue Daniel c. Roper,
through the South Carolina Sheriffs'
association, the claim that local
agents of the internal revenue bu-
reau are unduly active in behalf OF
the defense. No complaint is made
to the testimony by these officers,
but it is argued that they are using
too much of their time in assisting
in the preparation of the case against
Gosnell and in the selection Of the
Jury. The matter was laid before the
South Carolina delegation in the
house today by Sheriff Blease Of
Newberry county, who came as rep
resentative of the State Sheriffs' as
sociation with a letter said to have
the approval Of counsel for the state,
including Solicitor Martin of the
Greenville district. The delegation
informally considered the matter and
decided that it was not one upon
which they could take any action
other than to secure hearing for
Sheriff Blease before Commissioner
Roper. Chairman Byrnes of the house
delegation and Representative
Nichols of the Greenville district
were selected to arrange this meet
mo K. F. NJ.

Another New Organization.

A building and loan company will
be organized Wednesday night at
eight o'clock, at a meeting in the
court house of subscribers pledged to
the stock in a whirlwind campaign by
Mr.. Ben L. Dorrity. Saturday morn
ing Mr.. Dorrity had, within the short
time of forty-eight hours, reached the
figures he had in view, 100000: That
was quick, fine work. All subscribers
are urged to be present on Wednes-
day night at the meeting to perfect
the organization. The probability is
that $4,000 more will soon be sub
scribed in the series Of the organiza-
tions. It has been many years since
Newberry had building and loan as
sociation. The eargerness with which
citizens took stock in this proposed
B. & L. company shows that they con-
slider it good movement for the COM
munity, which it undoubtedly IS. 1t
is what has been needed in Newberry.

Washington, March 19.-Action OF

tee today in reporting favorably the
nomination of cambridge Colby to
be secretary Of state was expected to
lead to confirmation by the senate
early next week. Chairman Lodge
of the committee was understood to
have planned to call the nomination
up Monday, but it appeared possible
action might be delayed by the att
ermath of the treaty fight.
The committee, which held extern
sive hearings before it acted, did not
record it's vote favoring MFR. Colhy's
confirmation by the senate, but some
members reserved the right to discuss
the nomination when it reached the
senate floor.
In the house, Representative Dali

introduced a bill authorizing the as
sistant secretary Of state to sign
passports, saying he, had been in
formed 700 were held up at the de-
partment until a secretary should

power to issue such identifcations.
In view of the probable early con-
frmation of Mr.. Colby, however, it
was not expected the Dallinger bill
would be presented.

Phillip Sigh. It was the custom Of
Uncle Phillip Sigh, as he was called,
and his good wife to rear and adopt
children as they had none of their
own, and several of the good citizens
of this county of the other days
shared their fostering care. After
his marriage Captain Metts moved
to what is now known as the St.
Phillips community and lived at the
same place, and in the same house for
more than so years.
By this marriage there are surviv-
ing five children, William P. Metts Of
ington, Henry S. Metts of Lex
ington, Mr.. Henry S. Metts of Lex
ington, S. r. Metts of Newberry,
Clifford Metts of Knoxville, Tenn.
His wife died in 1886 and in 1889
he was married second time to Miss
Matte Wicker, who survives him. BY
this marriage there are two children
surviving him, Ida, who is the wife
of L. E. Shealy Of Saluda, and Rama,
who is the wife of E. A. Shealy of
Lexington: There are 26 grandchil-
dren and four great grandchildren.
The funeral services and burial were
at St. Phillips Lutheran church OF
which Captain Metts was a member
and officer from its organization in
1881. The service and the sermon
were by the Rev. S. P. Koon, the
pastor.
Uncle Phillip Sigh had much to do
with the organization of this congre-
CATION and Captain Metts was char
ter member and an officer from the
organization to the day Of his death,
and superintendent Of the Sunday
school until he was forced to retire
on account of failing eye sight.
At the outbreak of the war be-
tween the sections in 1861 he en-
listed as private in Company E.,
Third regiment, and served through
the war, receiving only one slight
wound. He was a quiet good citizen
and devoted to his church and leaves
his descendants a goodly heritage.
