Entire Issue Destroyed Because of
Ignorance of Difference

23,000,000 ARE DESTROYED'
Luckily None of the Wrongly La
belled Stamps Got Beyond
Bureau of Engraving.
Washington, Jan. 21. More than
23,000,000 2 cent Panama Canal stamps
for the San Francisoc Exposition have
been destroyed in the Bureau of En
graving and Printing because 'Some of
ficial in the Third Assistant Postmaster-General's
office didn't know the
difference between (he Gatun and the
San Pedro Miguel locks.
The issue, bearing an impressive
picture of Panama Canal locks, which
follows closely the recent lithograph
by. Joseph Penncll, was labelled, "The
Gatun Locks," Somebody discovered
that the locks pictured were not the
Gatun but the San Pedro Miguel.
rhe Post-Office authorities thanked
their lucky star that none of the issue
had left the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. !
"I duu't care to state who is respon
sible for the mistake," said Clarence
B. Hurrey, Chief Clerk in the office of
Third Assistant Postmaster-General
Britt, today. "We have our own the
ories about that, and Director Ralph of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
has his."
The loss to the Government is not
more than $2000,, as the stamps cost
3 1-2 cents a thousand. I he new issue
will bear the inscription, "Panama
Canal," without any reference to locks.
l'he picture will not be changed.

Washington, Jan. 21. Hopelessly
outclassed by France, Germany, Eng
land and Russia and many small na
tions of Europe in the number of aero
planes in use for military purposes,
friends of the flying game in the United
State are busy planning a tentative
bill calling for a $3,000,000 appropria
tion for the advancement of aviation
by the army and navy.
It is learned here that a bill is being
prepared calling upon Congress to
authorize this amount in order to put
the United States to the front in this
new arm of defense and offense. It
is understood the bill will be introduced
into the House of Representatives by
Representative William B. Sharp, of
Ohio, who is known to the flying men in
this country as "the champion of the
cause in the House.
It will be pointed out that this great
appropriation would really give this
country the prfstlge enjoyed by the
larger nations of Europe in this new
field. Including the aeroplane and
hydroplanes of both the army and
navy, the United States today can
muster but 22 machines. France has
almost 1,000, while England and Ger
many have several hundred each.
The War Department will be asked
to detail a sufficient number of men
to operate the large number of ma
chines that would be bought under
the appropriation.
The men who are interested in the
new bill represent the aeronautical so
cieties, manufacturers of American
made aeroplanes, army officers and
scientific men interested in the ad
vancement of the science made pos
sible by the efforts of Prof. Samuel
Langlcy, Wilbur Wright, Glenn Cur
tiss and other pioneers in flying.

A few weeks ago Oscar Croom,

a warrant charging him with retaiiing
spirituous liquors. He was given a
hearing before Mayor McCarthy and
probable cause being found was bound
over to the next term of Superior Court
under a bond of one hundred dollars.
He secured a bondsman in the person
of Noah Powell, also colored, and was
released from custody.
last Sunday Powell learned that
('room was contemplating leaving for
parts unknown and he decided, if
posiible, to have him taken in custody
so that he could be released from the
bond. Policeman Mc Daniel placed
him under arrest just as he was making
preparations to board the train en
route to Noifolk. He was taken to
the county jail and will be held there
until the next term of court unless he
again gives bond for his appearance.

STATE MILLIONS
There Will Be Radical Reforms in
New York Expenditures If
Sulzer Has His Way.
COMMITTEE IS INVESTIGATING
Present System of Auditing Declar
ed To Be a Farce New One
To Be Installed.
Albany, Jan. 21. Plans for radical
reforms in State expenditures are being
prepared under the direction of Gov.
Sulzer's investigating committee. The
Governor figures that the annual waste
in the cost of operating Stale institu
tions and departments runs up into the
millions. The departments that will be
asked to make the biggest cuts in ap
propriations are the State Education,
the State Hospital and the Conserva
tion. The Education and Hospital Depart
ments have absolute control of many
millions of dollars each year. The sup
ply bureaus in these departments, it is
said, spend large sums of money with
out publicity or check of any sort. The
Governor's probers have found hun
dreds of items in the vouchers sent in
by these departments pointing the way
to economies thawill save the State
a million or two million dollars each
year.
The investigating committee pro
poses to put a stop to extravagance by
recommending the extablishing of a
separate auditing bureau, probably as
a part of the State Comptroller's of
fice, which will have authority to apss
on every item of expenditure by any
department before it can be paid. The
hills under the present system are first
paid by the department and then ,as
a matter of form, transmitted to the
Comptroller for his O. K.
"Under the proposed system," ex
plained Chairman Carlisle of the inves
tigating committee, "graft and extrav
agance can be brought about only
through collusion of the department
ordering the work and the auditing
bureau. The present system of audit
ing is a farce."
In addition, the committee will ask
the department heads to abolish unjjinind.s of the people stirred up and not
portant offices, to make labor more
efficient and to eliminate, if possible,
the influence of members of the Legis
lature who have friends appointed in
return for legislative favors. It is un
derstood Gov. Sulzer will demand that
these sinecures be abolished
One of the results of tree' Governor's
inquiry will be the abolishment of the
direct State tax. It will take about
$6,000,000 to accomplish this. If nec
essary the Legislature, it is pointed
out, can cut out the annual appropri
ations for the canal debt sinking fund
and levy on the big surplus that fund
now carries.

recent message to the General Assem
bly was read before the Senate yester
day. Among other things the com
munication alludes to Blcase as the

South Carolina as a low type of man.
unable to' understand high., and
honorable actions ill others, asks hhn
who stole certain telegrams and ques
tions him about his pardon record and
his relations with the Southern Rail
way. The communication was written in
rep'y to a message which Governor
Bleasc sent to the Legislature. In
this message the Governor made a
bitter attack on Senator Tillman and
Captain William E. Gonzales, editor
of the State, and accused the senior
Senator of participating in a conspiracy
to defeat the Governor's candidacy
for re-election.
The senior Senator's communica
tion is addressed to the General Assem
bly of South Carolina and sets out in
the opening paragraph:
"I have just read Governor Blease's
message, sent to your honorable body
and have been informed that both
houses did me the justice to order
publication in its journal suspended
until my reply could go along with it..
For this consideration , please accept
my thanks.
"What Governor Blease's motives
were are very evident in the message.
He desires to continue the bitterness
engendered last summer, and wishes
to be revenge.f on me: but the primary
object he has in view is to keep the
to allow the water to clear sufficiently
to let them See what sort of a man he
really is. ( arttyie among the Romans,
and Aaron Burr among the Americans,
are the only olher men I have ever
read of who were equal to Blease in
bamboozling the people. He has per
suaded t iiousiunds of good South Caro
linains, honorable, clean, patrotic citi
zens, into believing that he is their best
friend and that Tollman's rnaiule has
fallen on his shoulders. He i a past
master in the arts of a demagogic. He
knows full veil that when th angry
passions of the masse ate a J, they
lose their reason. He desires to come
to the Senate, as he boasted he would
do at RichnpMdt in December last, and
feels it obligatory on him to aggravate
conditions in South Carolina as much
as possible. Whether this is the right
way to electioneer or not will be shown
in tne result oi tne next senatorial
primary. It the South Carolina news-?
papers do not help him bv abuse and
misrepresentation he will never get
