the history of the Charleston exposition.
Thousands upon thousands ot people

lery band, which is one of the finest mili
tary organisations tn the country, came
first. The enalds of honor from all the
southern states followed the king and
queen. As usual, /he Georgia ladles tn
their stunning costumes captured the
huge throngs with their beauty and won
round' after round of applause.
The Georgians came in at the head of
the second division. Vittur's drum corps
headed this division. The roll of drums
and the blare of the bugles could be heard
nearly half a mile before the drum corps
rame in sight. A drum corps is some
thing new to Charleston, and the people
went wild over the Atlantians and their
splendid marches.
The Gate City Guard with that historic
old battle flag came behind the drum
corps. The boys looked as well as the
men of the First artillery and their drill
ing was every bit as good. They wore
their fatigue uniforms, and were loudly
applauded when they passed along the
line of march and tn front of the re
viewing stand.
The third division of the parade was
made up of the Cook County Democrat
ic etab from Chicago, an organization
that is now touring the south. The mem
bers of the club were dressed in the regu
a lation politicians uniform, long coats and
s iik hate; each man carrying a silk um
brella. There were four companies form
ed in the usual military way and com
manded by a captain. The politicians
likewise received an ovation.

the carriages waving their handkerchiefs,
the members of the Gate City Guard
< omlng to "port arms.'* and the members
<>f th? Cook County club saluting the
•i.stingutshed Georgians with their um
brellas.
Governor Candler stood with his hat
off and kept bowing continually until
after the parade had passed. He made
a big hit with the crowd and was called
on several times for a speech, but de
fined. He was taken in charge after
the parade by President Wagner and
shown through everything on the mid
way.
An effort was made to have him ride
a camel, but he declined this also on the
ground that he had been seasick once.
The governor was greatly Interested in
the streets of Cairo and bought several
trinkets from the bootns.

OF UNION SOLDIER
MACON. Ga.. Feb. 11 >— The pension de
partment of the government has just un
earthed a remarkable state of affairs con
nected with tho life of a South Carolina
eouple. who were married by Dr. J. X
Brantley, of Macon, formerly and for
years professor of languages in Mercer
University. On September X LS66. Dr.
Brantley officiated at the marriage of
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Skillman and Jo
seph Moore. Moore was a union soldter
doing garrison duty at Newbury. 8. C.
Within a month and ten days after his
marriage he was mustered out of service.
His company was the s«th New York
Volunteers. After a short time, he left
his wife and went to Lucerne county. Pa.,
tn search of employment.* His wife heard
nothing more from him, and she found
what she considered was proof of hia
death. She went in mourning for him.
On March X M#L ahe died, having three
years previously filed an application for
pension. The application had not been
acted on. 1889. Moore died in Lucerne
county, and soon afterward another ap
plication waa made for pension on the
strength of his service as a union soldier.
It was found that the Pennsylvania wife
was Katherine Markie. who had reared a
family of children for him. The govern
ment has just established the fact that
Dr. Brantley performed the South Caro

*'l am advised that British vessels from
Canadian ports engaged in pelagic sealing
in and about Behring sea are in the habit
of calling at Unalaska and Dutch harbor
for protection in bad weather and the
purchase ofi*supplies, and of enjoying the
privileges of the port until the season
opens for them to engage in the unlawful
and barbarous extermination of the fur
seal herd in violation of the laws of the
United States and the international agree
ment with Great Britain.
"Until further advised on the subject,
you are Instructed to ceaae the collection
of tonnage duties on this class of vesaels
from all countries and to refuse them
the privilege of the port, water or fuel,
and treat them In all respects aa vesaels
engaged In illegal poaching.
"Should you find from personal exam
ination that any such vessels arrive in
absolute distress you will allow her to
obtain such relief only as will enable her
to return to her home port.”

FNRSMMOW
DE CALLED DEE
SENTIMENT OF DIRECTORS OF IN
TERSTATE FAIR ASSOCIATION.
AGAINST BOTH.
A fair and horse show will probabiy
not. be held in Atlanta this fall. The
statement Is not made authoritatively as
the board of directors of the Southern
Interstate Fair association has as yet
taken no final action regarding the mat
ter. It is true, however, that the general
feeling jmong the directors of both the
Fair association and the horse show is
against either one of those attractions.
The Southern Interstate fair of last fall
was not a success, it is said, and the
horse show was not as enjoyable as it
had been on the year before.
The board of directors will probably
meet within the next few weeks and it
will then be definitely known whether the
fair and horse show will be held,although
it Is already practically certain that the
decision of the directors will be averse
,to both the enterprises. ’

LORD CRANBORNE REITTERATES
THE QUEEN NEVER DID DE
CLARE ADVERSE TO UNITED
STATES PLAN.
LONDON, Feb. 12- The under-secre
tary for foreign affairs. Lord Cranborne.
replying in house of commons yesterday
to a question from Henry Norman (Lib
eral). who asked * whether the govern
ment's attention had been called to the
statement in the German press and alleged
to have received official confirmation at
Berlffi, to the effect that Great Britain
or April 14. 1888, through her ambassador
at Washington, Lord Pauncefote. pro
posed a fresh note in which the powers
should declare that Europe did not re
gard the armed intervention of the Uni
ted States in Cuba as justifiable and that
in consequence of Germany's refusal to
accept this proposal the step was aban
doned, said: ,
"No, sir. Her late majesty’s govern
ment nev«r proposed through her maj
esty's ambassador or otherwise any dec
laration adverse to the action of the Uni
ted States tn Cuba. On the contrary, her
late majesty's government declined to as
sent to any such proposal.”
Lord Cranborne's answer to Mr. Nor
man was received with rounds of ap
plause.
Mr. Norman later said to a representa
tive of the Associated Press:
“I am perfectly satisfied and of course
implicitly believe that statement of the
British ministers."
John Redmond, Irish leader, commented
on Lord Cranborne's statement as fol
lows ;
"That the feeling which existed in
America and England did so much for the
United States at the time of the war is
all humbug. To my personal knowledge
the majority of the members of the house
of commons were strongly anti-American
in those days. I have no doubt Germany
has evidence to prove her assertions.”

cold has practically kept all work at a stand
still.
Farmers are behind with their work and
thej-e is no indication as to when work in

The recent cold spell has about finished
what oats that were left over from the De

short here. However, wheat will be all right,
as winter has no terrors for this cereal.
Columbia county will be well represented at
the Charleston Good Road* convention. Among

TAFT LIVES LIKE KING;
SPENDS $20,000 A YEAR
WASHINGTON. Feb. 11.—In continu
ing his statement concerning statements
In the Philippine islands before the sen
ate committee on Philippines yesterday
Governor Taft said that the estimate for
the preliminary in those islands
must include a considerable outlay for
school buildings. It was necessary, he
said, to make salaries from 20 to 25 per
ceiit higher than In the United States.
In this connection Senator Culberson
made Inquiries concerning the salaries
apd allowances for the commissioners of
the archipelago.
"Is each of the commissioners paid $20.-
000?” he was asked.
“No,” was the reply. "When we first
went out the commissioners were each
paid SIO,OOO and tho chairman $12,000 and
in addition there was an allowance of
$5 500 to each for expenses, making the
total $15,100 and $17,500 respectively.
When I was appointed civil governor I
was allowed $5,000 for my legislative du
ties and $15,000 for my duties as an ex
ecutive. making $20,000. The other com
missioners were allowed $5,000 for their
legislative services and SIO,OOO for their
executive duties, making $15,000, all in
gold."
"Is each allowed a private secretary?
“Yes.”
"And you also have a large clerical
force?”
"You would think so if you should step
into qur offices; you also would get an
idea of the necessity for such a force."
"What other allowances are made?”
"None except that I am allowed as gov
ernor tn live in the Malacanan. the old
governor general's palace.”
"Is it an extensive place?"
“Rather. It costs me $125 in gold per
month to light it and I pay $3,000 a year'
out of mv pocket for servant hire. There
are 14 ponies in the stable. The grounds
are extensive but they are lighted by the
city of Manila as any other park would
be."
"Are the other members of the commis
sion provided with residences?”
"They are not. AU of them pay rent,
and I can assure you that I would much
prefer to pay mine to being re
quired to live in Malacanan and
keep up that establishment. If I
may be allowed a word personal.
I would say that of my $17,500 last
year, I had only $1,500 left at the end of
the year and I am sure that if my Illness
had not prevented my entertainment to
a considerable extent there would have
been nothing left of the $20,000 now paid,
and General Wright and Judge Ide have
assured me they .could save tithing.
There is much entertaining necessary and
the cost of everything Is greater than in
Washington. There are no other perqui
sites or allowances.”
Governor Taft added that the commis
sion had had nothing; to do with fixing the
salaries of its own members, that having
been done in Washington, but he said it
was impossible to secure the services 6t
competent men for responsible positions
without paying better salaries than are
paid here.

GIVE UP COMMISSION
BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. Feb. 12.—Cbloqel

then be no cause for the resignation of
Colonel Higdon and harmony will prob
ably have been established. in the regi
ment. The governor has not yet acted

ed in some time ago.

Prime on the Grain Crop.
With the mercury below zero, nearly every
day and night since the Ist of February, 1902.
with the ground generally covered with snow
to the depth of from two to five inches, cer
tainly we have no indications at preseat 'of
an early spring. These conditions have, made
more or leas delay In railroad traffic but not
enough, however, to render any of our great
trunk lines unable to <nove passengers or
freight.
Speaking of freight, offerings of grain all
over the west and southwest have been unusu
ally light, owing not so much to the recent
drop in prices, but to the unwillingness among
producers to sell on the present market. So
much grain had been moved when prices were
higher that farmers saw no necessity to sell
and are now lookers on, watting for the ad
vent of spring and seeding season and the out
come of the crops of 1902 before they will
think again of parting with their reserves.
During all this recent cold weathfer the win
ter wheat crop, as would very naturally be
supposed, ha* been well protected by snow, yet
at the same time south of the Ohio river snow
and Ice are its covering. There is very little
frost in the ground and when the Ice begins to
thaw and the snow begins to melt this mois
ture will sink Into the ground rapidly and
give the wheat that nourishment it stands so
greatly In need of today. We still put the
winter wheat crop In a fair condition. Its
trials and tribulation* for the n*xt elx week*
are many and the outcome depends more than
it did last year at this date upon exceptionally
fine weather during March. Farmers are hold
ing back even with greater tenacity than ever
before what reserves they had on hand wait
ing to see more than price what will be the
fate ot the crop now in the ground.
The only change we have to note week
In the corn situation Is the very small re
ceipts at grain centers, not averaging at this
point over fifty cars per day.
There Is no Increase in corn In erlb at rail
road stations, and the corn which has be*n
coming to market very recently is almost
wholly the corn which was sold on the farms
and at point* of production at 60 cento per
bushel. Never before In the history of the
grain trade were the possibilities of corn for
the future as great a*

bell Bros.* Fruit and Produce Letter.
ATLANTA, Feb. 13.—Eggs continue very
unsettled, and it depends >altogether on
the New York market as to whether or
not our prices will hold up. New York
merchants predict a decline, and say that
we may expect it at any time,, so iU'will
not be unwise for shippers of eggs to buy
at lower prices in order to prevent loss.
Live and dressed poultry are much scarc
er than at any time this season, in fact
the supply is insufficient by at least half.
Game of every description is still ruling
high, and it is safe to say it will continue
so long as the cold weather lasts. Field
peas are somewhat easier, and the de
mand is hardly so brisk, due to heavy
receipts. Sweet potatoes, a very scarce
article, and finding ready sale at paying
prices. Florida oranges are almost a
thing of the past, and are ready sale at
$3.00 per box. Grape fruit continues dull
and very hard to move, Florida vegeta
bles. of every imaginable kind, are in light
receipt, and the trade appears usually
anxious for anything In the green grocery
line. Fish are not arriving so freely this
week, and towards the end we rather look
for a bare market and higher prices.

THE VENABLES
REW
JUDGE NEWMAN RENDERS DECIS
ION BY WHICH THEY RECOVER
FOR MATERIAL USED IN SA
VANNAH HARBOR.
Judge William T. Newman Tuesdaf
in the United States court handed down
an opinion in the case of the Venable
Construction company against the gov
ernment, in w’hich he finds that the plain
tiff is entitled to recover a judgment for
the item of sand In the amount of $3,933.16
and for the item of pipe in the amount of
$2,081.44, making the aggregate sum of
$6,014.60, for which the company will have
judgment with interest.
The suit was brought by the Venable
Construction company to recover $9.-
981.07. It grew out of a contract entered
into by the company with the government
through Captain O. M. Carter, the engi
neer officer in 'charge, for the construc
tion of certain fortifications called gun
displacements on Tybee island, near Sa
vannah.
The suit involved a claim for extra work
in connection with a contract which was
entered into on November 30. 1896. On
July 20, 1897 Captain C. E. Gillette super
seded Captain Carter in charge of the
work. ,
The opinion of . Judge Newman is a
lengthy one. covering thirteen pages of
typew-ritten matter. It goes into the de
tails of the case. The case was origi
nally referred to C. P. Goree, auditor, who
found for the plaintiff on all claims.
Judge Newman Ln his decision sustained
the auditor's reports az to two items, but
overruled him as to three others, giving
judgment for $6,014.60 instead of $9,981.07.

SOUTH IS AGAINST
THE TAWNEY
BILL
SOUTHERN REPRESENTATIVES
SUPPORTED BY GENERAL
GROSVENOR, OF
OHIO.
WASHINGTON. D. 4X, . Feb. S.-Th«
Tawney bill providing for a tax on oleo-'
margarine of ten cents a pond, which
bill occupied the attention , of the house
this week, was declared by southern con
gressmen on the floor and in private to be
the most pernicious and dangerous piece
of class legislation that northern repub
licans ever used to threaten the indus
trial interests of the south. The bill, they
declared, has for Its purpose not only the
overthrow of the oleomargarine industry,
but It seeks the life of the cotton seed oil
and cattle industries of the south and.
west. The debate in the house on Monday
and Tuesday brought out clearly the fact
that a tax on oleomargarine would de
preciate the value of the product, which
is a legitimate one, and thereby depre
ciate the value of all Its ingredients, the
most important of which are cotton seed
oil and the fatty' substance of cattle. The
opponents of the Tawney bill declared
the southern states would lose millions of
dollars if the measure became a law.
One of the surprises of the heated de
bate came when General -Grosvenor, the
great republican debater from Ohio, took (
the floor to fight the measure. He Is ’
seldom heard on the same side of a ques
tion as the Democrats assume, and when
he began to weild his cutlass in defense
of oleomargarine the democratic mem
bers left their seats and crowded about
- to catch" his words. His speech was
unquestionably one of the most potent
influences brought to bear against the
Tawney bill. But no one imagined for !
a moment that Grosvenor was fighting in i
the interests of the southern industries of
cotton and cattle raising. It so happened
that his constituency in Ohio would be
affected seriously by the passage of the
bill. Hence his attack in unison with
the democrats. •
One of the queerest co-incidents in the
history of congress occurred during the
debate. Missouri has a representative
named Cowherd. He represents the dis- i
trict in which are located the gigantic i
packing houses of Kansas City and, of
course, he showed on the side of olemar
garine. He made a red hot speech, too,
one of the best heard on the floor this
season, but durifig the course of his re
marks the galleries showed continuous
smiles as the occupants were told that
he who stood practically against cow
butter was named CowherdL.
The speech of this gentleman gives in
clear, Concise language, the effects the
would feel if the Tawney bill be
comes *(. law.
In part it Is as follows:
“I have here the statement of John C.
McCoy, of Kansas City, whq Has been in 1
the live stock business all his life—* man
in whom, as I know, you can place the ut
most confidence—and he estimates the loss
to the stock raising Industry of the United
States at $62,000,000 per year If this bill
should be passed. . , ' ’
F'You are beginning hers today to legis
late against the products of some states
for the benefit of others. You are begin
ning to break those iron bands that run
from one state to another, carrying the
commerce of one freely into the com
merce of the other. Id tnls bill ynu are
recognizing the right of one section. If It
has sufficient votes, to destroy the com
merce of another section because it has
not sufficient votes.”
Congressman Bartlett interrupted the
speaker to ask:
"If this bill passes, what Is to-prevent
them from destroying the cotton seed
industry of the touth.” ' _
“Nothing,” answered Mr* „ Cowherd.
"Certainly it can be done.*’
Those who wished to tax oleomargarine
frequently Interrupted the speaker with
questions which sought to show that they
were only favoring the tax in the interest
of the “poor farmer,” whose butter, they
claimed, was being put dut of the markets
by oleo. Statements of this character
pervaded the speeches of the anti-oleos,
but the only effect of their utterances was
to convince their opponents that the state
ments were being made to curry favor and
get votes from the rural element of their
districts. In reply to these arguments Mr.
Cowherd said:
“The farmer’s butter doe* not compete •
with oleomargarine. The butter of the;
farmer’s wife doe* not go into commerce. >
It is taken to the country towns—such as
is not consumed on the farm—and is there
sold to the purchaser direct. The farmer’s •
wife does not get the city price. She
only gets the country price. She does not’
suffer from competition with oleomargar
ine, and thia bill does not help her in any
particular.”
He told of the formation of a trust with i
a capital of $18,000,000 which already con-;
trol* the product* of over 400 creameries
in this county, and the purpose of which .
is to control the products of every cream
ery In the country. The president of tho
trust draws a salary of $50,000 per year
and the secretary Is to get $30,000 per year. j
“These are the poor farmers,” he cried; i
"in whose behalf the gentlemen raise their
wailing voices.”
During the three or four days’ debate on
the subject it was generally believed that
the bill would pass, for while the Demo- ,
crats and some Republicans fought va-;
Hantly it was conceded that the majority ■
of the house would vote to tax oleomar
garine because their rural constituent*
believe the product is a fake and greatly ;
Injures the Industry of making dairy
butter. _ _
Representative Burleson, of Texas, sent
a volley of hot shot into the advocates of
the bill. He said
“We may view this matter from differ- .
ent standpoints, but to me it seems if you
vote for this bill you stmply aid your
dairymen, by force of legislation, to push
their hands into the pockets of our cotton
growers and cattle raisers and steal a
certain per cent of the value ot their
products. I know there are some timid
and misguided Democrats who will vote
for this bill, but when you do, gentlemen,
I want you to realize that it is protection
ism run mad. It you propose to adopt
Republican methods and permit policy,
narrow, selfish policy, to control you,
rather than be guided by the broad demo
cratic principle of opposition tp all per
nicious class legislation* then, for God’s
sake. I implore you, do not disquiet the
father of democracy tn.his grave by longer
calling yourselves Democrats.”
