In • Raleigh dispatch Senator Le«
S. Overman Is quoted as saying he
proposes to lend his influence towards
having the office of commissioner: of
immigration created.
If We mistake not such ofllce is pro
vided for. Funds in the agricultural
department of the state should be
ample to employ such an officer and
finance his work.
Certainly one of the greatest needs
of the state today is for more immi
grants of the first type.
The recent “Back Home” movement,
launched In this city, was but the
beginning of the great dertakingf
Not only do we need those who have
strayed the state, but we need other
frugal settlers who wnl Join with us in
developing the state’s resources.
South Carolina has done a great
work through Its Immigration depart
ment, and there Is no rason why our
own state department of agriculture
should not be equally successful in
bringing in needed settlers.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1911.
DR. WILEY WINS OUT.
It would seem that Dr. Wiley has
won a signal victory over all his ene-
Qiies. This pleasing dispatch tells of
the displacement of certain of his
euemies:
Dr Wiley is coming into his own.
It is announced that he is to be given
full authority in the work clf enforc
ing ite pure tood act. The dispatch
making this aanouncement says—In
a sudden succession of orders, an ini
tial move in the expected reorganiza
tion of the defauraent of agricaiture.
Solicitor George P. McCabe today was
retired from the pure food and drug
board. Asociate Cnemist F. L.Duniap.
closely ideniifled with McCabe, was al
lowed leave of absence until the Pres
ident’s return, and Chemist Harvey
\y. Wiley left apparently in supreme
command of the board. Mr. R. E. Doo-
iittle, of New York, was temporarily
appointed to the board to succeed Mr.
McCabe. These changes were announc
ed by Secretani* W ilson today follow
ing a conference, with Dr. Wiley, who
has been on a long vacation. They
were deemed inevitable in view of the
cfflcial and personal antagonism aired
before a congressional committee the
past summer, and Dr. Wiley's ex
oneration by President Taft after
Attorney General Wickersham, with
views aligned wiih those of Secretary
Wilson and Solicitor McCabe, had
recommended Dr. Wiley’s removal from
office as head of the chemisty bureau
because of a technical irregularity in
appointive methods, the responsibility
for which he denied. In place of Solic
itor McCabe to serve with Dr. Wiley
on the board. Secretary Wilson ap
pointed Dr. Doolitle, long a member of
the bureau of chemistry force, and
now head of that bureau substation in
•New York. Dr. Wiley and pr. Doolit
tle will constitute the majority of the
board for the immediate future, the
latter’s appointment being necessary
to give the board's action legal ef
fect. The reasons for Solicitor Mc
Cabe’s resignnation were not announc
ed.”
There was a deep laid scheme to
oust Wiley. His enemies were made
tip not only of patent medicine fakes
And food fakes, but some of them hold
high office. The effort to fire him failed,
and despite the recommedatlons of
Attorney General Wickersham and
Commissioner Wilson he has received
the endorsement of President Taft.
In addition the above dispatch would
indicate that he has been placed at
the head of his department. This is all
good to hear and it proves the power
of public opinion. Even the president
dared not oppose the popular decree
in his case.
FROM OTHER
SANCTUMS
CHANGES IN OBSERVER COMPANY
An announcement in this morning’s
Observer of a proposed reorganization
and shake-up in staff is of general in
terest throughout the state.
Effective November 1st, Major Hemp-
!hill, for many years editor of the
Charleston News and Courier, and for
the past two years editor of the Rich
mond Times-Dispatch, will become edi
tor, to succeed Mr. Klutz.
Mr. Gonzales will become publisher
and managing director, and Messrs.
Wert Wood and George Stephens will
become stockholders. It is said that
Mr. D. A. Tompkins will retain stock.
Mr. Hemphill, as editor, will keep up
the high record set years ago by Mr.
•Caldwell. He is well known and is an
•coomplished journalist. Since the re
tirement of Mr. Caldwell Mr. Klutz
lias done splendid work. What his
plans are we are not told, but we trust
he will remain with the paper.
By bringing In Mr. Gonzales the Ob-
•erver Company secures the interest of
one of the most Influential publishers
In the South. In Messrs. Wood and
Stephens the support of two progres-
■•ive business men Is secured.
Th^ Observer Is a good paper, and
with the new "Talent” secured It
■hould keep up Its good record. We of-
ler congratulations.
Major Hemphill, as new editor of the
Observer, will probably relish the task
of retracting all those charges flled
afalnat the Mecklenburg Declaration
uf Independence in yeari pait.
Wiudfield Scott Schley was known
among naval men as a dashing com
mander before the war with Spain,
while two of his exploits had made
him a popular hero. He had disciplined
Chinese and Corean coolies, protected
the 'American consulate In San Salva
dor during a revolution, rescued the
survivors of Greely’s expedition in the
Arctic and behaved with gallantry and
firmness in Valpariso when American
sailors were assailed by a mob. He was
in appearance as in fact the typical
leader of a fighting force, with his
rather Callis features and animated ex
pression.
Capt. Sampson, little known to the
public and Schley’s Junior, was pro
moted and placed in command of the
fleet because of his reputation as a
student of strateg>'. Schley, was In
command of the so-called Flying
Squadron, and by the accident of Samp
son’s temporary absence was in im
mediate charge of the ships that sank
Cervera’s squadron on July 3. Puon the
precise degree of credit due each*com-
mander even experts cannot agree.
It Is unfortunate that one of the
two great naval battles of modern
times should have been clouded by the
controversy that followed. Perhaps
the fact that he was the popular hero
of the campaign helped Schley to bear
the situation with dignity. No more
fitting word upon It was ever pronoun
ced than his own. There was “glory
enough for all.”—New York World.
Admiral Schley.
The most stirring chapters of our
nation’s history have to do very large
ly with the lives and exploits of her
admirals. Though we have partaken
of the sea’s romance less fully than
England, many of our brightest annals
have nevertheless been written upon
deck, and in our most recent war it
was the navy that struck the telling
blow.
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, who
died so suddenly on Monday, will be
remembered as one of the most gal
lant figures among America’s hardy
sea-fighters. His bearing, his person
ality, his very name all conspired to
make him a rounded type of the wave-
wanderer and leader.
It is a curious and Interesting fact,
as Robert Louis Stevenson has point
ed out, that the world’s big admirals
have borne peculiarly appropriate
names. Hawkins and Drake, de Ruy-
ter and, more recently Togts—they
seem to have been chistened on a pur
pose to their destiny and so did
Schley.
To be sure it would be going t6o
far to class him with the seaman of
universal fame or with the greatest
of our own records. But for his own
time he did work that was truly splen
did and permanently useful. Few ad
mirals have been so long in a navy or
have covered a broader field of ser
vice. His story runs from the arc
tics to the Caribbean and from con
structive work as a teacher to intre
pid deeds as a commander.
His personality is well summed up
in the words of Admiral Dewey, his
veteran comrade;
“Admiral Schley was a warm-heart
ed and chivalrous gentleman. The
country has lost a loyal servant and
I a dear friend of more than thirty
years’ standing.—Atlanta Journal.

It takes the steady nerve, the elastic
step, the energetic body to meet
modem conditions, and the quick mind
grasps the fact that body and nerves

A Strange Will
OS a Lawyei
[The strange will of a young lawyer,
who died several years ago in the
ward for the insane in the almshouse
of Cook county, Illinois. The will
was found in his coat. On a resolu
tion of the Chicago Bar Association,
the document was sent to probate
and so was spread on the records of
Cook county.]
I, Charles Lounsberry, being of sound
and disposing mind and memory, do
hereby make and publish this, my last
will and testament, in order, as justly
as may be, to distribute my interest
in the world among those succeeding
me:
That part of my interest which is
known in law and recognized In the
sheep bound volumes as my property,
being inconsiderable and of no ac
count, I make no distribution of in
this my will. My right to live, being
but a life estate, is not at my dispos
al, but, tuese things excepted, all else
in the w’orld I now proceed to devisre
and bequeath.
Item: I give to good fathers and
mothers, in trust for their children, all
good little words of praise and encour
agement and all quaint pet names and
endearments, and I charge said par
ents to use them justly, but generous
ly, as the needs of their children shall
require.
Item: I leave to children exclusive
ly, but only for the term of their child
hood, all and every flower of the field
and blossom of the w'oods, with the
right to play among them freely, ac
cording to the customs of children,
warning them at the same time against
thistles and thorns. And I devise to
children the banks of the brooks and
the golden sands beneath the waters
thereof, and the odor of the willows
that dip therein, and the white clouds
that float over the giant trees.
And I leave the children the long,
long day« to be merry in a thousand
ways, and the night and the train of
the milky w’ay to wonder at, but sub
ject, nevertheless, to the rights here
inafter given to lovers.
Item: I devise to boys. Jointly, all
the useful idle flelds and commons
where ball may be played, all pleasant
waters where one may swim, all snow-
clad hills where ooc/ may coast, and
all streams and ponds where one may
fish, or where, when grim winter
comes, one may skate, to hold the
same for the period of their boyhood,
and all meadows with clover blos-
sons and butterflies thereof;the woods
with their appurtenances, the squir
rels and the birds, the echoes and
strange noises and all distant places
which may be visited, together with
the advantages thei‘e found. And I give
to said boys each his own place at the
fireside at night, with all pictures that
may be seen in the burning wood, to
enjoy without let or hindrance, and
without any incumbrance or care.
Item: To lovers I devise their imag
inary world, with whatever they may
need, the stars in the sky, the red
rosefe by the wall, the blossom of the
hawthorne, the sweet strains of mus
ic and wjiat else that they may desire
to figure to each other the lastingness
and beautj' of their love.
Item: To young men, jointly, I de
vise and bequeath all boisterous and
inspiring sports of rivalry and I give
to them the disdain of weakness and
undaunted confidence in their own
strength. Though they are rude,I leave
to them the power of making lasting
friendships, and of possessing compan
ions, and to them, exclusively, I give
all merry songs and grave choruses to
sing with lusty voices.
Item: And to those who are no long
er children of youths, or lovers, I
leave memory, and bequeath to them
the volumes of the poems of Bums
and Shakespeare and of other poets,
if there be others, to the end that they
may live the old days over again, free
ly and fully, without tithe or diminu
tion.
Item: To our loved ones with
snowy crowns, I bequeath the happi
ness of old age, the love and grat
itude of their children until they fall
asleep.

The Significance
of a Name
The Stieff
Piano
The instrument par excel
lence. Uniqueness of mechani
cal art, giving that which is
most desired, durability and el
egancy of appearance, together
with its responsiveness to the
most delicate touch; its smooth,
rich quality of tone enslaving
the most classically trained ear'
vibrating in beautiful harmony
with human ’ heartstrings, and
bringing the sweetest melodies
to the soul.
These four qualifications, un
questionably, stamp this piano
as an unprecedented creation of
exquisite completeness.
And the Stieff, ’tis true,
Wears the ribbon blue
Grandly wove in its fabric of
grace.
Tis the elegance grand
From the skilled workman’s
hand
That gives it its merited place.
