Wednesday, May 21, 1902. . The latest sensation in political circles is the announcement, alleged to be founded, on mere rumor, that Col. James A. Hoyt will probably be a candidate for United States Senator in the coming Democratic primary. It is further alleged, on rumor also be it understood, that bis candidacy would take well with Senator Tillman, who it is rumored now locks ? m with disfavor upon the candidacy 01 Congressman Latimer, because the latter refused to sign at the request of the former, a statement the purport of which was to show where the sympathies of the Democrats lay in the McLaurin-Tillman fisticuff. Another evidencer of the friendship existing between Tillman and Hoyt is surmised from the fact that Col i Hoyt has been entrusted with the task of presenting the new platform to the convention, of which he has been instrumental in preparing. Politics indeed make strange bed fellows! Who would have supposed only a few short years ago that time would so soon come when Tillman and Hoyt and Gonzales and Gil Hemphill would lie down together in peace and harmony under the same vine and fig tree? Colonel Hoyt may be induced to become a candidate for faited States Senator, but we take the statement that Senator Tillman will consent to become his godfather with a big allowance of salt for the reason that the milleniam shows no signs of dawning. The river boats on the Congaree river opens up vast possibilities for the development of the inland country, the scope of which has never yet been conceived by the most sanquine imagination. Lexington, together with the balance of the contiguous territory adjacent to that river, will share in the benefits which will follow the establishment of this class of steamers. This is the kind of ft* of Horrnnruov fefutav V^UIUiV4VAMt is contending for and stands pledged to foster and encourage. By a policy of the government to improve the rivers and harbors of the conntry an appropriation of $50,000 per annum was secured to open the Congaree to navigation from Granby to Columbia and the establishment of this line of river steamers is the first fruits of that appropriation. The credit is due Senator Tillman. The Cubans have at last succeeded in establishing a government of their own, the island having been turned over to them by the United States l TIT OfUU rru~ government ou iuay avw. jluo pcisistence with which that people struggled through all the long weary years for their civil and political freedom cannot fail but strike a responsive chord in the breast of all liberty loving people, and the hardship?, privations and martyrdom they have endured to accomplish this end has won the respect and -sympathies of the civilized world. May that new born government steer clear of internal dissensions and strife and prove to the doubting Thomases that the Cubans are capable of governing themselves. August Kobn, manager cf the Columbia Bureau of the Charleston "Vz^rrra e^-inrior Gn OrcrPfifej fltqfc t i"l <3 i.1 C n o nuvi ^ ?? ? pledge in the Democratic primary be so amended as to require each candidate for a State office to pledge himself to reside in Columbia in the event of his election. This is a sensible suggestion and one that all candidates can consistently take. i The action of the State Democratic convention, which is in session in Columbia today, will tell the story as to whether South Carolinians are to be political serfs with the collar of their master around their necks, or political freemen, bowing the head at no man's command. We are confronted by one or the other conditions. Which shall it b^? S. H Itodgere, editor of the Post is a candidate for Auditor of Beaufort.

Altheas show their Rose of Sharon flowers in August and September. In settinsr out a tree the previous season'? growth should be shortened one-third to three-fourths, according to the roots. The golden coreopsis apd the feathery shoots of the garden asparagus make a beautiful and artistic combination in a simple vase. Watercress is good when the leaves are large. The size of the leaves Indicates the amount of tissue?strengthening chlorophyll?in them. - The safest rule in pruning is to keep watch on the young trees and cut out any branch that seems to need removal while it is yet small enough to yield to the knife. Trees that grow large tops, such as elms, silver maples, lindens, etc.. should be planted forty-five feet apart in order to allow each tree room for expansion and prevent too much shade. Plants of sweet william must be purchased for a new garden, as those grown from seed sown in the spring will not blossom until the spring following Onr>p started. however, thev will continue year after year. Black Sea Peculiarities. The Black sea differs in a most remarkable manner from other seas and oceans. A surface current flows continuously from the Black sea into the Mediterranean and an under current from the Mediterranean into the Black sea. The latter Ncurrent is salt, and, being heavier than the fresh water alx>ve, it remains stagnant at the bottom. Being saturated with sulphuretted hydrogen. this water will not maintain life, and so the Black sea contains no living inhabitants below the depth of about 100 fathoms. The deeper water when brought to the surface smells exactly like rotten eggs. Has Been. An Vn^l'thmon TTPnt- intft ?
