Valuable Tree.

A giant kaurl tree has been logged
by the Queensland forest service and
the timber sold for $1,000 It was
known as Bells tree and yielded H.,
600 superficial feet Of timber in five
huge logs, and the logging costs
amounted to $500. The net stumpuge
came to twelve feet 6 inches per 100
super feet. Had the tree been smaller
a ,higher prize would have been real

die it. This giant of the forest was
offered to kindergarten for $50 on
the stump, being at the rate Of less
than 20 cents per super feet, twelve
years ago.

Summer School at Winthrop.

Active preparations are now being
made for the opening of the SUMNER
school at Winthrop on June Is, to
continue until July %, session OF
six weeks. President Johnson has
about completed the faculty, which
will be announced soon. The college
is hoping to make this the best of
the many sessions that have been held
here. A liberal appropriation by the
legislature will make it possible to
open with a stronger faculty and a
greater variety of, courses than here
tofore. The increased appropriation
will also enable the college to admit
teachers from South Carolina without
the payment of any matriculation or
tuition fee.
Courses of instruction will be pro-
vided, as usual, for the benefit of
teachers in high school and graded
work; and for students who wish to
make credits for a college diploma,
or who wish coaching in subjects on
which they need help.

To Borrow s3,OOO,OOO

Governor Cooper, State Treasurer
Carter and Comptroller General Os-
borne will spend nearly all of this
week in New York city looking for
money. They are there to make an
effort to borrow two or three million
dollars, on which to operate the State
government until tax money comes in
in the fall. Such loan is made by
the State every year.
The bids on the loan are to be open
ed at noon April 8. The three State
officials, constituting the State Dor,
rowing committee, will make a thor
ough investigation of the money mar.
ket, with a view to determining what
the loan should cost the State. The
appropriation act of the recent legis'
lature authorizes the borrowing OF
as much as four million, but that much
will not be needed right away. The
comittee will borrow either three mil
lion or four million, depending on the
bids received.

Infant Found in Lake City Sewer

The dead body of an infant was
found in a sewer at Lake City Sun
day morning. The infants head had
been crushed Immediately after birth
and it had been dead, it is believed
a week or ten days. Decomposition
had set in to such an extent that it
was almost impossible to tell whether
the child was white or colored. The
hair was straight, however, and was
thought to be that of a white child.
An inquest was started Sunday by the
magistrate at that place and was ad-
journed until later, with the hope
that some light may be thrown on the
dastardly deed. However, in Sun
day,s investigation nothing was found
out to throw any light on the crime.

COMMITTEE

Albany, n. Y, March 30.-Charges
of unftness against the five Socialist
members of the New York State as.
sembly, Louis Waldman, August
Claessens, Chas. Solomon, Samuel A
Dewitt and Samuel Orr have been sus-
tanned by majority of the assembly
judiciary committee in a 10000 WORD
report submitted to the legislature TO-
day. 1t says the seats should be de-
clared vacant.
Enactment of a law to prevent any
organization which admits aliens to
it's membership from occupying the
position of political party on the Of
fcial ballot of the State is advocated
The Socialist assemblymen, the
findings state, "are not obedient to the
constitution and laws of the United
States and the State of New York,
nor desirous of the welfare of the
country nor in hearty accord and SYM
pathy with it's government and insti-
tutions."
The report mentions the fact the
party's constitution provided that any
Socialist elected to an office who shall
in any way vote to appropriate mon
eys for military purposes or war shall
be expelled from the party"
The report views portions of the
evidence heard during the recent "a
days trial, purporting to show that
the Socialist party opposed prosecu-
ton of the war, opposed legislation
for industrial and military conscrip-
ton, pledged its members to work
for the repeal of the conscript law,
advised resistance to conscription of
life and labor and urged reputation
of war debts.

Salters News Notes

Salters Depot, March 29.-We are
having some real Spring weather
after the unseasonably cold weather Of
the past month. Vegetation is very
backward, trees only just beginning
to bud and grass to spring up. Gar
dens, where up, are growing nicely.
The bean crop around here is prom
ising, stands being good, and with
favorable seasons a good crop will
be made.
Tobacco plants have grown rapid
ly and several report they will be
ready to transplant by the 10th OF
May.
It is hard to get fertilizer, only a
small amount having been received
here up to this time, and farmers are
needing them badly.
We are glad to report that Mr.. M.
R. McClary is improving after several
days sickness.
We had several heavy showers OF
rain Sunday night and an unusual
amount of thunder and lightning for
this sason of the year.
Quite a umber of Salters folks
viewed the Auroraborealis last We'd

Sen, NEWBERRY
WILL NOT RETURN
TO SEEK EXPULSION OF MICHI-
GAN SENATOR IF HE RE-
SUMES SEAT.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Newberry, of Michigan, who returned
here today, will not resume his seat
in the Senate until questions as to
his status arising from his conviction
in the Michigan election conspiracy
cases have been disposed of.
81 shall not resume my activities in
the Senate" he said, until all matters
growing out of the proceedings in
Michigan are cleared up"
The senator did not appear today
at the Capitol. He was understood to
have conferred with some republican
leaders and will return to Michigan
for the Easter holidays without any
definite plan as to when he will be
back in Washington.
Would Seek Expulsion
Democratic senators who were ac-
tive in pressing for. investigation of
the Michigan senatorial contest, ad-
mitted that they had been prepared
should Mr.. Newberry have put in an
appearance in the senate, to seek his
expulsion on the ground of his con-
viction on a criminal charge. His de-
cision obviates that action and it was
assumed the next step would be in the
committee on elections, where the
Ford d-Newberry contest is pending.
Even should Mr.. Newberry not par
ticipate in any roll calls or be paired
on any votes, the Republican control
of the Senate by majority of one
would continue, the political align
ment being 47-48.

THREE MEN SHOT TO
DEATH SATURDAY
Near Aiken, Another WOunded-COr'
bett, Who Fired Shots,
Surrenders

Hugh Tanning, Julian Cooper and
Bryant Salley, three white farmers
residing near the Salley section in
Aiken county, were shot dead at mid
night last Saturday night by Carlos
Corbett, a white farmer, who claims
that the men were drunk and after
wantonly burning away a new en-
bankment in front of his place, had
cursed and abused him. Corbett also
fatally wounded Jones Salley, one OF
the crowd.
Sheriff Howard and Coroner Bell
of Aiken, were called at 4 o'clock this
morning to the scene of the shooting,
which they found upon arriving had
taken place just across the Aiken
county line in Orangeburg county.
Carlos Corbett, after the killing, got
into his automobile and drove hastily
to Columbia, where he gave himself
up to the authorities. The story of
the killing as told by Sheriff Howard
is as follows:
Late last night car filled with
men passed noisily by his home with
the muffler of the car wide open. Cor
bett ran to the door of his home to
see who the noisy people were, but
could not discern them in the dark. A
few minutes after the car passed Cor
bett says he found newly repaired
washout in front of his place on fire
and believed the men had purposely
set it ablaze. In half an hour the car
was heard returning up the road to-
ward Aiken and Corbett stepped out
side of his home to demand of the men
why they set his newly filled washout
on fire. The men, it is alleged, be-
came abusive and finally cursed Cor
bett, who drew his gun, killing each
of the men in rapid succession.
"Jones Salley was seated in the car
some distance away and flndlng that
the first shot did not kill him,it is
alleged Corbett went ap to the car
and shot him again in the head and
body. A young boy in the crowd lay
fiat on the ground and played dead,
thus escaping injury. The people Of
Salley are greatly worked up over the
affair"
The dead men were unmarried.
Carlos Corbett surrendered to the
State penitentiary at Columbia Sun
day morning. He claims self-defense
and the protection of his home against
marauders.

No Field, Day This Year.

To the Teachers and the Public:.
The influenza epidemic came on US
lust at the time when we were making
plans for what we hoped would be
our greatest field day event. Two
weeks ago a letter was sent to all
school principals in the county asking
in view of the influenza situation,
these two questions: (1) care you in
favor of having Field Day this year,
(2) "If we have Field Day, will it be
practical for your school to take part
in the exercises"
l have had replies from "a OF the
al schools at present in session. SeV-
en- express themselves in favor OF
having field day and seventeen
against. Ten schools say they Will
enter the contests, and fourteen say
they will not. In view of these re-
plies, and of the fact that most OF
the schools of the county have lost
some time, and practically all have
been more or less interrupted at a
critical period by the epidemic, have
concluded it will not be advisable to
have field day this year.
am sure some of our schools will
be very much disappointed, and assure
them that I am too.
