the LKD^?:K. fhwriow \ vaitji, KDITOR AND MAN Uli'.R SATl-KDAY JULY 12, 1003. Congressman Tall>ert i-> making an appeal for votes on 1 lie ground that he favors giving the taxei paid by white people to tho white schools and letting the negroes have only the amount paid h> them into the school fund. Ever} sensible man who stops a momen to think will readily hoc tluit thii is simply n hid, or rather n schonii to got votes. For in the office o governor Col. Talheri cannot von trol tho distribution of the schoo fund, nor will lie have a vote und no ono believes that ho would prostitute tbo dignity and honoi of that office, iu case ho should tn elected, in trying to influence votes in tho legislature 111 favoi of any such measure, if he really wants to engage in such work as that ho ought to run for legisla ture or Senate where he cot hi work aud vote fjt* his measure. Col. Taloert was a mem her of tin Constitutional Convention which fixed a three mill school tax 111 the Constitution and we do not re member at this time, thst he then advocated any such measure a-> he now professes to be in favor of. ? Kershaw Era. The Amenities of the Campaign. Whatever may l>o thought ot ex. Govonor John Gary Kvuti's use of tho Stokes correspondence to help him in his race: and what ever truth there may be in Mr Latimer's contention that Dr. Stokes was not tho father of the Free Rural Mail Delivery; there can be, wo take it, no two opinion! among the Doctor's friends that his reference to him as "Bills Stokes'' was neither polite noi kind. The fact is, and Mr. Lati nier should certainly know it tlia belittling nickname was novel heard of until it was attempted t be fastened on the digtnlied Dot tor by the State newspapc o Columbia. Even this extreme am unrelenting journal saw at last it: impropriety. Dr. Stokes was never '-Hill", or "Billy" to any of his family or friends. It does not recall tin old boyhood days, 'when we went a-tishin', to his friends: but only the names of those who sought to catalaguo him among the nobodies. Mr. Latimer will serve Lis candidacy better by more courteous mention of nnw ivh/un trmt t'e dignity is part of the legacy he Las left sorrowing friends.? Wateree Messenger. Death Of Wni. II. Perry.

In scores of homes i; there were tho most pathotic i scenes Mothers, wives, daughters, sons and relatives were ! j frantic with grief.

One of the saddest accidents ever known in this ((immunity occurred yesterday morning resultingin the death of Earnest, the 0-ycar-old son of Mr. \V. K. Prothro, intendant of this place. The littlo fellow was I supposed to have been cleaning a I parlor rifle about noon Saturday. lie had detached the barrel from 1 tho stock, and not noticing that it was loaded or that the firing bolt was in firing position touched the l trigger. The bullet, a 22-calibro, passed into the groin and ranging t downward made an exit on the I rear of tho thigh, almost severing! | the femoral ar'ery in its course I I 1 Lightning's Havoc.

The first sossion of the 57th Congress adjourned last week. S >me of its most important work is thus summarized by the Observer. 1. The passing of an isthmian canal bill, and that providing, after a strictly business fashion, for the best and cheapest waterway possible, thePanama route lirst, j and if this is impossible, the Nica- j raguu. This is an item of legiela- j tion that will, when carried out, affect the trade of the world as di- ; _ _ il-- I : 1 ir e .1 r. icuuy us iuo luiutiiag oi me suez Canal. 2. Perhaps next in importance to tha people of tho United States | is tho tepcal of the war taxes amounting to $70,000,000, voted in 180S to piosecuto the war with Spain. This was not a party meas? lire and these burdens were voted off w?th the same unanimity by the members of all parties that they wore voted on. 2. The scheme of civil govern- | mens for the Philippine Islands, by which the United States launch es out into the business of governing u great island colony, albeit the islanders are given to being 1 with a largo measure of self gov eminent. 4. Tho oleomargarine act. 1 which particularly affects the South, is one in which the taxing power of the government is undoubtedly used to crush one industry in the iuterest of another. 5. The Chinese excludou act, j which affects tho West principal i ly, kocops the bsrs up high where j the Celestial would be apt to seek en tronco. G. A vast scheme of irrigation for certain States and Territories has been inaugurated at Federal expense, although the money is to nnm n /anf ' ? ? L' - - vuuiu VMIl \tl H1TJ BU1C 1)1 I 111 1)1 1C lands and not front taxes. It sets a preoedent in tec matte of expenditures that is dangerous. 7. The riverand harbor bill carried $65,000,000 appropriations, and recklessness in spending money for public buildings was exhibited by this Congress. And this is only a part of the b ifty-Seventh session.
