Thursday, March 20,1913. ? Editor J. L. Sims, of the Orange burg Times and Democrat, nas our hearty congratulations, which we feel are not premature. Both of the Senators from South Carolina have united on him for the position of United States marshal and he will no doubt be appointed. He richly deserves the place, and will make a most excellent official. That was shabby treatment Senator Tillman received at the hands of his colleagues in denying him the chairmanship of the appropriation committee, to which he was entitled, but we are glad that the Senator showed himself to be the great man he is in accepting the result without bitter ness. He put aside nis rigrus ana feelings in the matter in order that there might be harmony in the ranks of the Democracy, hoping that some real service might be done the people. Few would have acted as admirably as did Senator Tilling Illinois Troops Stop Lynching. ??? Salem, 111., March 14.?State troops were sent to Salem tonight by Governor Dunne to aid in quelling, a mob that surrounded the jail and threatened to lynch Frank Sullens, white, who is held on a charge of attacking Dorothy Holt, 14 years old, daughter of Judge Charles Holt. The angry citizens became so insistent in their demands for possesion of the x prisoner that Sheriff Purcell tele-' graphed for militia and Adjutant General Dickinson and a company of soldiers were sent on a special train When news came-that the troops *were on the way, the mob dispersed but soon gathered again. After the sheriff and his deputies had made repeated efforts to drive away the crowd, many went home but more than 200 men, who declared they would hang the prisoner, filled the streets with angry shouts, surrounding the jail several times, only to be driven back by the sheriff's force. To aid in preserving order, all the preachers and aldermen, in addition J to several business men, seized all | the whiskey and beer they could find | and poured it into the gutters. The victim of the attack was on her way home from a moving picture show last night when a man seized her by the throat, gagged her with a handkerchief and took her a mile and a half out of the town to a slaughter house. The girl lost consciousness and remained in the slaughter pen until today. She finally home. She is in a serious condition. Sullens was arrested this afternoon. It is said he admitted that he dragged the girl to the slaughter pen, but did so for another man who promised him $5 and a drink of whisky. The girl said she saw no one but Sullens. Baseball on Roofs of Skyscrapers. Chicago, March 14.?Skyscraper baseball played 200 feet above the street level is the newest sport adopted by employes in the main building rvf thp f!hinaeo TeleDhone Co.. since the mild weather has made outdoor playing possible. A baseball diamond has been laid out on the roof of the new building and two teams organized. Every day during the noon hour the teams play a few innings. The diamond is inclosed by a sixfoot wall and the roof is so large that no one has yet been able to bat the indnnr bail out of the "grounds."

Washington, March 10.?Josephns Daniels, secretary of the navy, to-day j approved the location near the presi ent torpedo slips at the Charleston, IS. C., yards of a new pier to cost { $300,000 to be used to berth torI pcdo boats. The bureau of yards j and docks was to-day instructed to j take the necessary preliminary steps j to expedite this work, which is among the first construction items undertaken by the new administration. Secretary Daniels has indicated that there will be a material addition in the amount of work to be done at Charleston in the future. Tillman Bows to Caucus. Washington, D. C., March 15.?As might have been gathered during the past few days in spite of reports to the contrary from other sources, things took a decided mrn against Senator Tillman's chances for the chairmanship of the appropriations committee alter the Democratic "steering committee" had settled down to work. The committee voted Wednesday to award this chairmanship to Senator Martin, of Virginia, giving Senator Tillman the naval affairs chairmanship. When the South Carolina Senator heard this he "got busy." with the result that the "steering committee" agreed to reopen the matter, but the second decision was a repetition of the first. Senator Tillman decided, in the interest of harmony, to tone down the bitter speech which he had contemplated making to the caucus. He requested. Senator E. D. Smiti. to read to the caucus a statement in which he gave restrained utterance to the feeling that he had been treated unjustly in order to advance the interests of others, and expressed his regret on account of his State; but with regard to persons, the Tillman statement merely compared the records of himself and Senator Martin as to progressiveness, quoting an anti-Wilson interview credited to Senator Martin during the Baltimore Convention. Senator Martin made no reply in I the caucus and would not comment after the Senate had ratified the caucus assignments, except to say thar. he was gratified with the treatment which had been accorded him therein. Senator Tillman made a motion in the caucus, after his statement had been read, that his own name be substituted for that of Senator Martin as chairman of the committee o? appropriations. This motion was overwhelmingly defeated, only four Senators voting in its favor. They were: Senators Smith, of South Carolina; Martine, of New Jersey; Sliafroth, of Colorado, and Bacon, of Georgia. In the session of the Senate which followed Senator Tillpian made a motion that the caucus action be .ratified and made , the following explanation indicative of submission, but not of surrender: "Under the rules of the Senate, which have always obtained here, I was entitled to the chairmanship of the committee on appropriations. I asked for that, but my colleagues, in thoir wisdom?and I recoenize that every man on the "steering committee' that elected the membership of this committee is my friend?thought "that I had better retire into the still water for a while and leave the battleships to go put into the open. I bow and cheerfully submit to that decision." After the Senate adjourned, the senior South Carolina Senator said that he did not feel cowed at all, but wnntofl an imnrpssion of harmonv 10 be made to help the party fight its battles. * ^ '"I had intended," said the Senator, "to carry the fight into the Senate itself Monday, in order to put into the Record and let the people know my attitude, but in the interest of my party harmony and patriotism I decided to make the foregoing statement on the floor of the Senate to-day instead." It is felt here that the course of Senator Tillman, in bowing gracefully to the will of his colleagues, has helped him in the long run. As chairman of naval affairs he will be in the best possible position to guard the interests of the Charleston navy yard. Besides the chairmanship of naval affairs, Senator Tillman retains the r>VioirmaricjVii'n nf the committee 011 the five civilized tribes of Indians | and is placed on the following other j committees: Appropriations, forest reservation and protection of game, mines and mining and private land J claims. L. H. Couch, proprietor of a meat market, and Ed. Chapman, a barber, were convicted last week in Easlev of maintaining nuisances and were heavily fined?the nuisances being running blind tigers. THE TEMPTATION TOO GREAT. Former Assistant Cashier, Dying, Recites the Story of His Thefts. San Francisco, Cal. March 15.? Charles A. Baker, former assistant cashier of the Crocker National Bank, admitted to-day that he was guilty, as charged, of embezzlements from the bank, that are estimated at $200,000. Two guards from the United States Marshal's office sat at his bedside 9 while Baker, who is critically ill at his home, whispered the story of his downfall. "Every bit of it is true," he said. "I fell because of temptation I was constantly subjected to. The bank paid me $10,000 a year for my services. Every day stock dabblers and financi rs called at the bank and daily thev told me of the thousands they had won the day before with scarcely I J an effort. "These conversations gradually be' came more and more impressive. I began to think I should be taking advantage of the opportunities put before me. One day a man came to me and gave me a tip to buy a stock. I took it. I won. I got a second tip a few days later. I took that tip and lost. After that I won occasionally and lost frequently. I tried to recoup my losses and make good with the bank. I intended to stop gambling as soon as I could even up." I ESKIMO DOG FARMS. Woman Breeds and Trains Animals for Arctic Exploration. At Grove Park, one of the suburbs of London, Mrs. Scott conducts a very interesting dog farm, where | she breeds and trains for the market, says The Scientific American. The market is not very large, but it is sufficient to make the best possible Eskimo dogs which are trained for Arctic exploration. ir you aeciue uu uuciive a. jwumv,? I to one of the poles, you know that j Eskimo dogs are absolutely essential. You can get good Eskimo dogs in Greenland or in Alaska. But the good dogs in Greenland may not be exported except by special per- > mission of the Danish government, and the dogs in Alaska are not so good. One trouble with ordinary Eskimo dogs is that they have no breeding and no discipline. They will obey the master with whom they have been brought up. but when they start after fish or' | other game their master can control | them only by the exercise of brute force. For the purpose of your exploration you need dogs that will obey orders given by a white man, dogs that are broken to the harness and are not afraid of work, dogs that have learned teamwork. It is this kind of dog that Mrs. Scott raises for the market. Her kennels have only pure-blooded ani mals of carefully selected stock, ana i from earliest puppyhood she trains them in how to eat and how to work. When she gets through with an Eskimo dog the animal is not nearly so ferocious as one that just "growed up" in the surroundings of an Eskimo village. They adapt themselves quickly to new masters, and they have acquired good eating manners, so that they are not likely to attack the cupboard or fresh game. Mrs. Scott feeds her animals no meat except pemmican and dried fish brought from Norway; a large part of the diet is a specially prepared biscuit. She has supplied trained dogs for a number of Arctic and Antarctic expeditions. Wind Hits Jordanville. Conway, March 17.?A terrific tornado swept Jordanville, some 12 miles northwest of here, Saturday afternoon, killed one man, injured half a dozen people, some seriously, and caused considerable property loss. John Tompkins, a well known planter, was the only person who lost his life, so far as has been re-_ ported. Jordanville is not on the railroad and has no telephonic communication, and hence the details of the storm's visit are but meagre. t+ i= tnnwn however, that eieht or ten houses in the Jordanville community were razed by the wind, while considerable damage was done to other property. The tornado struck the town late Saturday afternoon. Apparently the storm moved in a northwesterly direction. .Its path was about half a mile wide, and, according to reports received here, it traveled about a mile and a half before its fury was moderated. The storm was accompanied by a very heavy fall of rain, which extended to other portions of the county beside the region swept by the tornado.
