About $10 damage was sustained in
a small blaze In £. H. Pedigos dry
goods store shortly after noon to

flagration, but the heroic work of
William T>avU, a member of the firm,
and n traveling man naui<d C. I,. T
Papin put an end to the prospect. The
Janitor, who was burning Home waste

threatening the buck part of the

PHILADELPHIA IS
WAKING UP
Philadelphia, Oct. 28.—With the
sailing of the big twin-screw liner
Graf Waldersec from Hamburg today,
bound for tills port, another impor
Unit diretc steamship lino between
Philadelphia and Europe becomes an
accomplished fact. The Hamburg-'
American Line will operate the new]
passenger service, and. besides the
Graf Waldereeo, two other big liners,'
•he Prlnz Adalbert and the Prinz i
Oskar, will make regular trips. Tin*
entrance of the Hamburg-Auierican j
company Into the Philadelphia trade
indicates that the great transatlantic'
llnes are beginning to realize 'hat
New York is not the only c ity on the
map of America. Steamship men be
lieve that the licncefortli will he lo
"*'d adding new services to Host on
Ph'lnd* Iphla and South Atlantic, ami
possibly gulf ports, rather than con
< c.Mm ting the entire transatlantic
business in New York. The Norm
German Dioyd company, which has
heretofore enjoyed a monopoly of the
truflir between Philadelphia and
North Germany, will meet its new c om
petition by adding two more large ves
sel*. th© Chemnitz and the Cassel. to
the fleet of four ships already vm
nlng to this port.
Philadelphia's proposed thiriy-livo
foot channel and modern dock sys
tein is expected to result In a consid
erable future Increase in the exports
and Imports and passenger traffic of
this port. The Graf Waldersec- Is'
bringing over a large number of pas-'
Kongers on Its maiden trip tp Phiia
cblphla. The first sailing from this
,city will be on Nov. 17. Direct lines
from Philadelphia to Sweden and a

I
E
Poof of this is Shown in the
Report of the State
Board of Con
trol
Charleston, Oct. US. it |H a broad
Miiile that dccorai ok the Democrat to
countenance these days. The enuso
may be found in the report of the
non-partlaiun Hoard of Control. It
'vna hardly to b-> expuctod that proof
of Democratic chargon of extruva
Kanee would come before the elec
lion, but It la here and It ts beyond
question.
ii was charged that Governor Daw
fon‘s administration cost |i>.f»00,000
In round numbers, while Governor
MaeCoklo’s cost $2,700,000. Tills
shows a difference of $3,800,000. This
1h a vast sum of money for one ad
ministration to waste. It Ih more of
a waste than the whole cost of the
MacCorkle administration. It tm aim
that over $900,000 a year was spent
in extravagant administration. The
charge was met with the explanation
that wo now have a bigger state
and that more was being done. This,
"as an excuse if not a valid reason
and the Hiuall fry orators had settled
themselves back In confident usbui
nneo that it would appease I In- vot
era. Hut now comes the non-par tin-j
an Hoard of Control and shows that
It has saved the slate over $492,000
In a little over one year. In other
winds there Ih olficinl proof that the *
Dawson administration uquandorod at
least $492,000 a year. Hut It shows
vastly more.
I nder the MacCorkle administra*
Don the criminal charges and all
those costs of our difarltablc and
penal institutions (that are now paid
by the counties), were .then paid by
tin* state. The difference between
four years of Dawson and four years
of .MacCorkle is therefore much more
than the $3,800,000, because the state
w'as relieved of an immense charge
under the Dawson administration
which the MacCorkto administration
had to pay.
Hut the Board of Control lias lo
cati-d $-192,000 of extravagance and
waste. It has run the same Institu
tions in a business-like and satisfact
ory way for one year and lias saved
the people $492,000. This Is proc*!"
(hat can not bo shaken, that the
charge oi waste and extravagance is
• rue.
HORSE FLESH IS

So popular has horse meat become
in Haris that prices of the better cuts
have been boosted to a point beyond

flesh of the horse has wVm official
commendation from the Haris Hoard
of Health, which buys nearly 2.000
pounds Weekly for the municipal hos
pitals. This Is chopped and fed raw
to delicate patients whose stomachs
cannot receive beef. Of the thousands
of horses slaughtered In Haris, only

LABOR LEADERS > .
DISCUSS FLAKS
Washington, Oct. L'H. An Important
meeting or the Foundation for the
1'romotlon of Induatrlnl Peace was
convened today, with Jurists, educa
tors. manufacturers and labor loaders
participating in tin* deliberations. J.
Mitchell, the labor leader, is secretary
of the organization.
< bb f Among the matters under dis
cussion are the formulation of by-lnws
and the ndvlsibtility of tiHing a por
tion of the income ns a prize for os
Htiya on the beat methods of bringing
about peace in Industrial pursuits.
It is understood that some of the
labor leadors will ask the organization
to pass resolutions or censure on the
actions or those who, without Investi
gation or deliberation, immediately
sought to produce tin* Impression that
organized labor wus responsible for
the destruction of the plant of the l^os
Angeles I lines. While condemning
those responsible for the tragedy, la
bor leaders say that such unfounded
statements as those of Oen. Otis and
others tend to create bitterness and
strife and render Industrial peace Im
possible.
‘ The basis or Industrial peace," said
•tohn Mitchell, "must be an. agreement
between the employers and the em
ployes themselves. They must be
taught to make and keep agreements
themselves, and I think the whole
tendency of industrial affairs is to
ward flint, end now."
