Some Officeholders in South Carolina Said to be Afraid to Move Either Way. Washington, May 4?a numoer 01 -re publican politicians well known In South Carolina are in Washington and as some are Roosevelt men and some are Taft fol lowers, there is considerable speculation regarding their mission. It was said here to-day that some of them, officeholders un der the present administration, are fearful lest they hold on to Taft too long and are afraid to let go and swing on to Boosevelt. The only thing left for them to do was to come to Washington and get the lay of the land. The recent reported flop of some of the Taft delegates to the Boosevelt side of the fence may have a bearing on several South Carolina post-office appointments, which are due to be made within the next few days. The Abbeville and Ninety-Six muddles are still unsettled, and there are several others in different parts of the State. Tiger Fined. Henry Leonard, colored, on being ar raigned in the mayor's court Monday morning pleaded guilty to the charge of illicit liquor selling and was fined the sum of ?76.00.

Happenings of a Week In and About the 1 Seven-Hilled City?Personals. Lowndesville, May 6.?A little rain < and a little very small hail Monday 6 evening, neither of which was at all * needed. Misses Hattie Jackson, Julia Ban- j. ister and Annie Hellams, of Spartan- a burg, were the guests of Miss Camille Smith, for a day or two the latter patt of the week before last. Mrs. E. F. Latimer went over to Honea Path last week and spent a few days at her old home, with her parents. At a late meeting of the Lowndes ville High School Trustees, Mr. M. M. Wilkes was re-elected Principal, and Mrs. Wilkes and Misses Rogers and Hiars assistant teachers?the same who had charge of the school during the past scholastic year. Messrs. D. L. Barnes and T. C.

The Savannah side of the county, in places had a down pour of rain Sunday night. Some of the smaller $ streams were so far out as they could get, for the hills and damaged land* and crops in reach. Rev. J. C. Chandler left Wednesday for Honea Path, where he attended I the Anderson District Sunday school convention. Mrs. 0. Johnson, one of Lowndes ville's former citizens, now of Ander son, came down Wednesday and since been with her old friends. Rev. R. W.

Confederate Historian Believes Its Hiding Place Will Soon Be Revealed. Where is the soal of the Confederacy? This question has often been discussed in Abbeville. It was here that the last meet ing of the Confederate Cabinet was held, and tradition has it that the seal was thrown into the stark well. A careful search, however, has failed to substanti ate this story. By some it is believed the seal was thrown into Savannah river. In view of these facts the following from the < Macon correspondence of the Atlanta Jour- i nal may prove Interesting: , Macon, Ga., May 9.?"I am absolutely ' convinced that the Confederate monument ' in Macon holds the solution to the hiding < place of the great seal of the Confederacy," ] said one of the most widely informed his- i torians of the Confederacy this morning. ' "I feel assured that somebody in or near ( Macon knows where the great seal is to- ( day," he continued. "I am futher convinc- 1 ed that it will be brought to light within a ] comparatively brief time and that this j honor will come through the Macon j Daughters of the Confederacy. The speaker, who requests that his name be withheld for the present, is known throughout the country for his historic re- ' searches. For many years he has persistently and quietly searched for the great seal, the i nnding 01 wmca wouia oe a greater eveui, than the solution of the mysteries of the pyramids. Patiently he has wended his way through a labyriuth of long trails that ended blind-' ly, and now he believes that the labors of ( a lifetime are about to culminate in the discovery of a thing desired by govern ments and individuals throughout the world?the great seal of the southern Con federacy with which Jefferson Davis fled from Richmond. LIKE GOLDEN FLEECE, The labors of this historian to unearth the thing desired above all others as a relic of the southern Confederacy rival those of the mythical men who sought the Golden Fleece. He has in his possession the Morocco case in which the original seal was sent from Paris to this country. In this case there is embedded, perfect in every detail, an impression of the great seal. Why suffer with corns when Russian corn cure only costs 10c per bottle at Speed's? '.-j. s.S:*issiu'Ji& A.UTO ORDINANCE TO BE ENFORCED. When our"! worthy mayor informed the adies tof the Federation that the speed imlt was off 2 he evidently meant only ;emporary suspension of the rule applying ;oautoists, as the police force has been in fracted to notify autoists that there will >e a rigid .enforcement of the ordinance emulating the speed of autos. The ordi lance provides for a maximum speed on he streets of not more than 10 miles and it corners not more than four miles. TO REPLACE WOODEN TRESTLES. After persistent work on the part of city ouncil the Seaboard Air Line has decided d replace the wooden trestles on which a track crosses South Main and Pickney treets with steel suspension bridges, 'ortions of the steel girders for this work re now on hand and a construction engi" eer is now in the city. It is supposed iat the wook will soon begin. This wilj amove an unsightly as well as a danger, us obstruction from these streets. Why May 10th? Perhaps some of our young readers may ot have learned why South Carolina has elected May the 10th as Memorial Pay. b was done in honor of Gen. Thomas J. ackson, better known in war annals as Stonewall" Jackson, who died at Guinea tation, Ya., on the 10th of May, 1863, after aving been wounded a few days before y Confederate soldiers, who mistook him nd his staff in the darkness for Federals, ten. Jackson's left arm was amputated nd his other wounds were dressed, and e would probably have recovered, but neumonla set In and caused his death. It is not our purpose here to write of ackson himself; but young: people can nd no worthier man in the history of the rorld than the man in whose honor South larolinians celebrate Memorial Day, and tiey would And much profit in studying his fe and character. H. A. Waff goner, Alvon, W. Va., ays that Foley's Honey and Tar Com ound is the best medicine for oougha nd colds be has ever known. He ays: "Every man and woman tells oe it is the best they have ever used nd whoever used it once always omes back for it again."
