At the conclusion Of the meeting. In reoponse to a set of resolutions from Major Hemphill, Goveror Heyward, Commissioner Wat ton and Mr. Gadsden were requested to go to Hremen, Oermany, and per tonally Interview the Notrh German Lloyd officially on the Importance of continuing the line of immigrant ehlps to Charleston and the future possibilities that lie In uch a course both to the steamship people and the entire 8outh. The object of the aeaoetation Is to secure at least two more ship loads of immigrants to Charleston before the new Immigration act goes Into effect next July, by which time It Is confidently hoped Alabama and North Carolina and, perhaps, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and other Southern States will have followed South Car olina's exampln In establishing Immi gration departments. If thc time be tween now and next summer can bo tided over It Is felt that th- business from other sections of the South will be drawing so well through the Charleston port of entry that there will be no further anxiety as to the permanent success of the line of Im migrant ships. i n u rvnriii ifriinsii 1 , . . ....... ... not care so much about the return cargo matter, Commissioner Wutson explained, as about the Immigrants. Four hundred immigrants Is the min imum the ship will bring over In April and another trip will be made early In the Bummer.

Special to The Observer. Gaffney, 8. C, Feb. 21. To say that Ople Reed delighted his largo au dience Inst night with his lecture, "First one thing and then another." Is putting It mildly. He would clothe a thought or sentiment In the purest English and asqended to the most amazing heights of eloquence and or atory; and then illustrate or punctuate It with a slde-spllttlng Joke. Indeed several times he was forced to pause and wait for the paroxysms of laugh ter to subside before he could re sume. Off thlt stage Mr. Rtd Is one of the most approachable of foen, and If one has ever been connected with Journalism, however remotely, It Is a sure passport to his favor. The peo ple of Gaffney sincerely hope that Manager DeCamp may be able to secure Mr. Reed again next season, as there Is not the slightest doubt but whnt he would be greeted by a crowded house, Hev.

' H'iV-"v-t.h r,'h:ii- Mr. Leonard has ' been a Jrtlc'gler for business and has had little or no holiday except that coming from Illness since he went upon his duties In November of 10. He took sola charge last April and has given en tire satisfaction t the cempany and to the public. .His unaccountable ab sence caused an investigation yester day and his books were found all right. Ills brother does not know cny thing more than the public, and guesswork Is the order of the day. Thiers Is naturally anxiety concern ing him, since his protracted absence is so little characteristic of him and his assiduous devotion to duty. Congressman Richard N. Hac',cett has appointed James H. Horah, of this city, his private secretary. The honor came unsolicited, but It is a Just on. Mr. Horah was secretary to Mr. T. H. Vanderford, chairman of the Democratic executive commit tee of this district, and did able service. Mr. Horah's appointment will not necessitate his going to Washington or llkesboro, and he will continue his practice of law In Salisbury. He will have an assistant, who will be with Mr. Hackett when he Is In his Wllkesboro home or In Washington. The Old Hickory Club will to-mor row afternoon observe Washington's birthday with open doors to the Satur day Afternoon Club. The date set for the regular meeting of that club will be given over to the club and re freshments, the sine qua non of the club, will be served by the Old Hickories. The Elks will give a dance In their hall to-morrow night despite the Len ten season. They received to-day an electric piano, which will furnish the music for the occasion. There have been but few dances In Salis bury's history during the season of sorrow and fasting. The Elks are also planning a Dutch supper for Tueeday night of next week, when- they will prepare a menu that is especially palatable. SENTENCED TO HANG.

Late William Jabs, Secretary and iTeasnrrr or 11 Building and Loan Companies, an Embezzler. Charleston, S. C, Feb. 21. Investi gation by experts which has been going on for several weeks now, shows that the late William Jacobs, who was secretary and treasurer of 11 building and loan companies, was short in his accounts about MO, 000. It is claimed by Interested parties' that $30,000 of this amount was used by Jacobs In winding up com panies that were not ready to close, and that $10,000 represents all that he had evidently used for his own purposes. The companies are going Into liquidation, and It Is claimed also by Interested attorneys that stock holders will not lose very much. Jacobs wns under $55,000 bond and an effort may be made to get the losses from this source. The dead secretary was regarded as a man of great ability and thoroughly reliable.

Washington, Feb, 21. -In a speech In the House to-day on the sundry civil bill, Representative Tawney, chairman of the committee on appro priations said the appropriations for the present session of Congress would exceed any ever before made at one session. : .'.'.; r Mr. Tawney startled the House as he told to what lengths - the appro prlatlons for this Congress had gone and impressively - said that a rough estimate of the appropriations al ready made and to.be made showed that this last session of the 68th Cone gress -would amount to 11,005,34, 4(1; the largest by many millions of any session, of the Congress. He said that If the revenues In the next year did . not Increase over . those , ot the present year that the Treasury of the United States was facing a deficit of 1100,900,000 at tbe close of the. fiscal year 1901. appealed to the pa triotism of the House ' to, do nothing more to increase the vast aggregate. , Smarting under . what they , consid ered unfair treatment the Democrat resorted to a systematic aeries of ob jections against provisions In the sun dry civil ' bill. They compelled the Republicans to maintain 100 mem bers, a Quorum of the committee of the whole. , -'.V- '"-V '. ,; When Mr." Tawney moved that the House resolve Itself Into the com mittee of the whole for consideration of the sundry civil bill, the motion was antagonized by Mr. Sulxer, of New Tork. Mr. Tawney explained the necessity for speedy action, and the House resolved Itself into com mittee of the whole. The opposition under the lead of Mr. Sulzer de manded the first reading of the bill and then the House listened tor nearly three hours to the reading of a measure. 'Then Mr. Tawney ex plained the bill. Mr. Taylor, of Ala bama, followed, and the reading of the bill was begun under the flve- mlnute rule. Both Messrs. Clark and gulser made points of order against sections and generally were overruled. Several times on demand, a quorum was counted at to-night's session Manv of the members appeared in evening dress. At 10:45 p. m. the committee rose, having completed 08 Daa-es of the bill and , immediately thereafter adjourned. The Election Clause Amended. The clause relating to the calling of local option elections as first drawn and as prlnte In yesterday's Observer, Is as follows: "That the provisions hereinbefore made for holding the elections of the mayor and board of aldermen, shall apply to the holding of all other city elections, including elections in regard to intoxicating liquors. "That If any petition shall be made to the board of aldermen of said city for an election under Chapter 49 of the 'Revlsal of 1905 of North Caro lina' within four years from and after the first day of May, 1907, no election shall be ordered upon such petition unless the number of qualified voters signed thereto shall be equal to one third of the sum of qualified voters now on the registration books of said city, and of the qualified voters whose names may be registered under the new registration provided for herein." Later, however, the clause was amended very materially. The amended charter Is given below: "Sec. 86 'A.' That If any petition shall be made to the board of alder men of said city for an election un der Chapter 49 of the 'Revlsal of 1905 of North Carolina' within four years from and after the first day of May, 1907, no election shall be ordered upon such petition unless the num ber of qualified voters signed thereto shall be equal to one-third of the sum of qualified voters now on the registration books of said city, and of the qualified voters whose names may be registered under tne new registration provided for herein, be fore -the time of considering said pe tition, but whose names are not now on the registration books of said city."
