WHO THEY ARE. Names of Candidates For Senate and State Officers. CAMPAIGN NOW OPEN There Are Five Candidates for the United States Senate, Two For Governor, Three for Superintendent of Education, Five for Railroad Commissioner, and Only One for Each of the Other State Offices. The political campaign In this State may De said to be fairly open now, and soon it will be in full blast from the mountain to the sea. The County Conventions meet on Monday, May 4, and the State Convention will meet on May 20. Candidates are be ing brought out by their friends, and soon they will be all out. The can didates for United States Senator are: Messrs. O. B. Martin, John Gary! Evans, George Johnstone, E. D. Smith and D. C. Heyward. From ex pressions in the county press, it ap pears to he the opinion that the race is between Ex-Gov. Evans and Ex Gov. Heyward, but Mr. Martin seems to object to the promulgation of this opinion, and doubtless the other can didates do also, but they do not ex press themselves as does Mr. Martin. Some Past History. In 1902, when Messrs. Evans and Johnstone were also candidates for the senate, the vote in the first pri mary stood: William Elliott, 13,658. John Gary Evans, 17,893. J. J. Hemphill, 13,261. D. S. Henderson, 13,771. Geo. Johnstone, 13,556. A. C. Latimer, 22,971. Total 95,110. The second primary was between Evans and Latimer, and in the sec ond election Mr. Evans received 36, 371 votes and Mr. Latimer 53,890. Mr. Latimer being elected by a ma jority of 17,519, over Mr. Evans. Mr. Evans had been defeated for the sen ate by John L. McLaurin in 1897 and again by Joseph H. Earle in 1896. In the year 1902, Capt. Heyward made his entry into politics and the vote in the first primary resulted as follows: D. C. Heyward, 36,551. M. F. Ansel, .17,685. W. J. Talbert, 18,218. J, H. Tillman, 16,398. W. H. Timmerman, 6,515. Total, 96,367. The second race was between Hey ward and Talbert and the vote re sulted: Heyward, 50,830; Talbert, 40,494. Capt. Heyward being elect ed by a majority of 10,336. In 1904 Gov. Heyward was re-elected without opposition. The year 1902, also saw the poli tical debut of Hon. O. B. Martin, who in that year was first a candidate for the office of state superintendent of education against Hon. John J. Mc Mahan, receiving 48,850 votes against 45,891 for Mr. McMahan, there be ing only two contestants. Since then Mr. Martin has not had opposition for this office, being re-elected in 1904 and 1906. The Gubernatorial Race. The withdrawal of Mr. Feather stone from the race for governor leaves the Hon. C. L. Blease, senator from Newberry, as the only candidate against Gov. Ansel. Mr. Blease was always a stalwart state dispensary supporter and since that institution's abolition he has come out on an ex tended local option platform. Gov. Ansel on the other hand announced his platform this year to be restrict ed local option, favoring ?L law mak ing the entire state prohibition with the right to counties to exempt them selves by majority vote and sell whisked through county dispensaries. In 190$, when he was elected gov ernor, Mr. Ansel favored the present county option system, and In 1902, when he was defeated, he favored the state dispensary as "the.best solu tion of the liquor question." Before that time he had been regarded, as a prohibitionist. Mr. Ansel, whi'e a man of positive personal convicitons has always been a close student of popular sentiment anl his successive platforms indicate the trend of pub ofofo falrlv woll 11C Uplinuu in Cilio ctnw 4ui? i. v?. during the last few years. That the prohibitioists will be content to have such a law enacted as Mr. Ansel now advocates seems evident from Mr. Featherstone's withdrawal. Other State Offices. Mr. Martin not being a candidate for re-election the way is open for a new man in the office of State Sup erintendent of Education. County Superintendent of Education E. C. El more. of Spartanburg, was the first to announce and he has made a pre liminary campaign. County Superin tendent S. R. Mellichamp, of Orange burg. was next to announce and he has also done much work. Recently Prof. J. E. Swearingen, of Cedar Springs Institute announced his can didacy. The office of railroad commissioner is always contested for. Commission er Cauehman's term expires and he Is a candidate for re-election. So far it is known that he will have op position from Mr. J. A. Summersett, of Columbia. Major Fishburne, of Charleston, Major H. W. Richardson, f Columbia, "Canzler of Tirzah," and perhaps others. It appears now that the other state officials will not have opposition, Sec retary of State McCown, Attorney General Lyon, Comptroller General Jones, State Treasurer Jennings, Ad jutant General Boyd. However, the campaign has just started; and the election is yet founr months off, but the entries for state offices close in June. In 19Oo the total vote in the first LEVER HAS BEEN SICK And Everybody Seetus to Miss Him Says a Correspondent. The Washington correspondent of The News and Courier says Represen tative Lever has been greatly missed from his accustomed place in the U rvn f a /liifinrr f h a nocf trnnl/ Ui'c XAVUOC/ UUI lug CUV puou ?? wvn. itiO enforced absence has been noted by many people, who have asked where the little Congressman from South Carolina has gone. When told that he was ill, there have been many ex pressions of regret and sympathy. Mr. Lever is a friend of the news paper man. and all of the Southern press boys know there will be some thing worth writing about when he is around. He likes the newspaper men, and they are fond of him. He has never reached the state when he felt too proud to come out of the House when sent for and say that he had no news when asked for it if he had none. Nor has he ever sent a newspaper man away feeling other than better for having seen him. He is the correspondents friend always. WILD ELEPHANT NUISANCE. Hindustan Planters Complain of Dam age Done by Pachyderms. At Calcutta, India, the Doors Plan ters' Association has appealed to the government for help in ridding the the cohntry of wild elephants, whose pranks are becoming intolerable. Though no actual ''rogues" are re ported or loss of life, crops are said to be trampiea on, iences ium uu?u, roofs pulled off, and many roads ren dered impassable by the patroling of these mischievous pachyderms. The most serious matter, however, is in terruption of railway traffic, for the brutes exhibit a queer predilection for wandering on the line, which is a narrow gauge, and therefore ren ders the trains specially liable to de railment should they meet an obsta cle when running at night or round curves in the day time. PICKED UP AT SEA. ?? ? .1 \\ reCKt'U U1I film icnivu uuu by Yacbt. The steam yacht Columbia arrived at New York from Florida on Tuesday with three fishermen on board, res cued from their sinking boat in a gale off Charleston. The three men sailed from Charleston in the fishing smack Star on April 17. The next day they were caught in a gale in which the smack lost her mast and most of her sails. When the derelict was sighted the sea was running so high that the Columbia could not lower her boats. The yacht approach ed the Star so near that ropes could be thrown to the fishermen, who were then hauled on board the Columbia. Their friends in Charleston had about given them up as lost. HEIRS OF GARRETSON. Information Wanted of a Captain in the United States Army. The Charleston Post says Post master W. L. Harris has received'a letter from Attorneys Lyon & Lyon of Washington, D. C., asking for infor mation about heirs of one Charles Garretson, a captain in the United States army, who died in Charleston in 1871. The letter states that^j it is very much to the interest of the heirs that they should be known and Postmaster Harris, desiring to con tribute his services to the cause, will be glad to receive any information in the matter that he may be able to forward to the Washington" attor neys. INUNCTIONS PERMANENT. Temporary Orders Issued by Justice Gary Made Perpetual. Charleston blind tigers will have to behave themselves or go to jail. The Supreme Court Tuesday evning rendered decisions in 8 of the Char leston dispensary injunction cases, the temporary injunctions previously granted by Associate Justice Gary be ing in each case made permanent, the opinion of the Court being writ ten by Justice Gary. These are cases additional to those in which perma nent injunctions have already been granted on the petition of the Attor ney General. ROUT) FOR BRYAN. The Alabama Delegation Instructed to Vote for Him.

Helen, the-19-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Odom of Greenville, drank a bottle of gasoline and died twenty minutes later on Wednesday. j primary ran to about 97,000 and there was much interest in the race for governor and attorney general as well as for the legislatures and county offices. Wi h a warm fight for state and county offices this year, the total vote may go to 100,000. At any rate, to win the candidate should make sure of at least fifty thousand votes. A MONEY MAKER. irNTY DISPENSARIES ARE MON EY GETTING INSTITUTIONS. ive Done About Same Business as Former State Dispensary With Much More Profit. During the quarter ending March the county dispensaries sold 90,964.01 worth of whiskey in counties, of which one has sin?e ne dry. On this business an aver ;e profit of 39 per cent, was made, e total profit being $268,941.98. lis is at the rate of over a million liars a year profit. According to the statement recent prepared by Comptroller General nes the state dispensary during its irteen years of business paid into e state treasury for all purposes the m of $1,515,107.57. The proportion of profit paid to e counties and towns varied at dif rent time, but the total profit of e State dispensary, even when there sre dispensaries in forty-one coun ts did not reach one million dollars sr year, or thirteen million dollars the years that it was in operation, ccording to the report made l?v ispensary Auauor wesi to uovernor nsel at the close of the fiscal year e total amount of sales by the unty dispensaries during the nine id a fraction months they were >erated in 1907 was $2,691,663.4:',, i which the net profit declared was 595,056.61. The business for a full year, or 12 onths, runs easily in excess of three 11 ]ion dollars, which was the high ater mark for the state dispensary, hile the profit of the county dispen ry system for twelve months runs excess of one million dollars, hich the state dispensary never did tain, though its founder predicted would. Though there are now dispensaries only twenty-four counties the pro , from the county dispensary system proportionately so much greater at from the steate dispensary, and it distributed between the county and wns, that as a revenue producer e county dispensary is going to ove more popular than the old sys m, and for that reason, if for no her, it is more difficult to vote it it than it was to close the county spensaries under the so-called rice Act under the state dispensary .nrimc when nrpiiiriices and antag lism to the state dispensary had >mething to do with the large pro bition vote cast in se'veral counties ! the state.

"And still they come!" exclaimed ^ WlllllB Clayton as he enterel his airy little office In the Oxford build ing and saw the package of envelop es on hlB desk. Large envelop-: s and mall of all tints and shades, and with a fow exceptions each highly perfumed. "It's a duce of a nuis ance now,' he muttered as he tore open envelope after envelope, merely glancing at the contents and invari ably giving each a toss into the wast? basket, with curling lips. "Twenty-four this noon, that makee 119 in three days?119 foolish girls! Ah, this one Inclosed the notice It self, 'A young bachelor, good looking plenty of money, desires to com municate with eligible youny lady? matrimony. Address Clay. P. O. 26.' "When Jack made the bet with me I scorned the idea that any girl would be unmaidenly enough to even think of answering such a nonsen sical advedtlsement. Well, I've lost and a box of good cigars go:s to him evidently. At first it was inter e?ting, then amusing, and now, well, rather disgusting." Suddenly he paused, staring Incredulously at a photograph he had just taken from a plain little envelope?a smiling sunny face returned his gaze, and two big trusting eyes, shaded by wavy hair falling about a high fore head, looked into his. "It is!" he exclaimed at last with a deep breath. "She was the last one in the world I thought would sto >p to such a thing, but there can be no mistake," and he stared long and earnestly at the picture, entirely ig noring the accompanying letter. "How many times does a fellow have to rap to be admitted to tbts sanctum sanctorum?" asked a merry voice as its owner put his head In side the door. "Beg pafdon. Frank, I didn't hear you," answered Clayton, slipping the picture of that sweet face under a pile of papers. "Did you knock?" "Did I knock! Several time?, my dear boy. Aren't you feeling well? Look a* if you'd seen a ghost. Who Is?she?' "Well, it is a she this time," Clay, ton laughingly replied, "and I don't sven know her name.

"If it's the one I think, you must be referring to my cousin, and If you've been putting her on a pedes tal you can't make it a bit too high." "Your eousin!" "Yea, and the dearest, sweetest, little thing you ever saw. Are you coming to sls'party? I suppose you have received her Invitation?" "No, but I haven't been all through my mall yet?why?" "Because Queenle will be there and I'll introduce you. Her real name is Marjorle, but we've always called her Queenie on account of the imnaHmia vat modeat. little ways he haB." Imperious?modest! Involuntarily Clayton's hand fumbled with the pile of letters underneath which lay the picture face of this girl, giving the lie direct to her cousin's eulogy. "There's Kit's invitation now; I know her writing," exclaimed Frank digging a plain little envelcpe from the pile. "Haven't you read it yet?" "Hadn't seen it before," responded Clayton. "Been opened," replied Frank, un ceremoniously dragging forth the folded paper. As he scanned the lines a bewildered look stole across his face. "What the dickens?" he began, then stopped, the light of un derstanding superseding his bewild erment, which ended in a hearty laugh. "One on sis," he cried. "Hear this: Mr. Philip Hanscomb, artist: Dear Sir?Inclosed find the photo graph I wish copied life size, and about which I spoke to you yester day. Sincerely. Katherine Ellis.' Don't you see what she's done? Wrong envelopes! Kit was going to have Queenie's picture copied as a surprise for her father and mother, and she mixed your invitation up with the letter to the artist. Good Joke, isn't it? I wonder where sha sent the photo." And again he laughed heartily, while the rapidity with which Clay 'on set his "pedestal" up again would iiave done credit to the swiftest ex press ever Known, cut ne wouiun i part with that picture, and so failed to enlighten Frank. ' "I'lL see you get your Invitation," Frank said as he started for the door, then, as an afterthought, "By the way, speaking of my cou6in.

At Fort Worth the Trinity river is receeding, but street car traffic be tween Fort Worth and North Fort Worth will not be restored before to morrow. By employing every available man in the city and dispatching them in special trains to the seat of the trou ble, Fort Worth railroads Saturday actively began to repair the $250,000 aamage mniciea Dy rriaay nignts storms. North Fort Wortn is isolated and five hundred houses are submerged. Mineral City, near Weatherford, is under water, and Clebourne, south of here on the Santa Fe, is surrounded by the flood. Engineer Long and Fireman Allsup were found dead un der their engine. Their train left the track in a washout a mile north of Clebourne. The flood sufferers have been pro vided with shelter. Crops over a large area have been destroyed and the loss will reach over half a million dollars.

A dispatch from Blackville to The State ;;ays what is considered one of the saddest accidents that ever hap pened there was the sudden death of Miss Heaulah Gillam, caused by a runaway horse. Miss Gillam and her friend, Miss Alice Sojourner, were out driving and had driven out on the road to the Healine snrlners. a favnr ite drive from Blackville. There were a number of buggies in a line returning from the springs to Blackville and a couple bf young men undertook to drive by Miss Sojourn er's horse, which was a very spirited animal. The horse commenced running and soon got from under her control, though she is an excellent driver. Miss Gillam became very much ex cited and jumped from the buggy, striking her head. She never regained consciousness and died at 2 p. m. Monday. Miss Sojourner remained in the buggy un tli.-the horse struck a tree and threw her out. She was very badly, bruised and is confined to her bed, but her in juries are by no means fatal. Miss Gillam was adaughter of'Mrs. M.
