HARMAN, Editor and Publisher. Wednesday, March 26,1902. We have seen it stated in several reputable newspapers, that many leading and prominent Republicans are opposed to the passage by Congress f fbo f!rnmnflr>l'flr resolution to inves VI LUV V/ V v? w J/v.v~ tigafce the suffrage laws of the South. They consider, so it is stated, the meausure to be both impolitic and unwise. The consideration of the resolution will direct the attention cf the public to the election laws of some of the Northern States and the contention will be emphasized that if a suffrage franchise based od an educational and property qualification is unconstitutional in South Carolina then it necessarily follows that an election law based on the same restrictive qualifications in Massachusetts is unconstitutional. Thoughtful Republicans recognize that this is a two-edged sword and too dangerous to be played with. President Roosevelt has stated that he was tired of the friction in the army and he is fully resolved to put a stop to it by removing the cause. Whether it is decided that the statement of Gen. Miles was privileged or not he will at no distant day take action which will force General Miles to retire from the army under fire. The Lieutenant General of theAmer ican army is marked for the slaughter, and" after all these years of patient waiting retribution is about to overtake the man at whose orders iro is were placed on the person of Jefferson Davis. The mills of the gods have ground slow, but they have ground sure/' and in the humiliation which is sure to come to Gen. Miles the South will drop no tear (f sympathy or of pity. TU JL LiC IC31UCUL3 aiuug JL aia VUUV/ New York, were greatly alarmed od March 21st, by the unexpected collapse of the foundations of their handsome brown stone front rjsidences. They stood not on the order of going but left their houses as best they could and in the quickest manner possible. After the excite ment bad somewhat subsided it was discovered that the foundations were undermindtd by excavations for the vapid tranait tunnel. The National House of Represenv tatives has passed the river and harbor biU in almost the same conditicn as it was reported by the committer. The South will get a small slice < f this pie, but not near the si m she i9 entitled to for the improvement of her rivers and harbors. She would doubtless have received a much larger sum for this purpose had it cot been for the childish determination of our delegation to ask fjr nothing from the powers that be. Mr. James S Campbell, Treasurer of Richland county, died at bis home in Columbia Sunday. Mr. Campbell was well known to many of our citizens, he haviDg been at one time a prominent business man of that city. | He bad the confidence of all who I knew him. Pie has been eucceeded as Treasurer by Mr. E. J. Brennan. The Senate committee on elections is considering the charges made by Senator Tillman that Senator McLaurin sold hi3 vote in exchange for the Federal patronage of South Caro- I iina. In asking for an investigation j of these charges, Senator McLaurin has pursued the right course and one that he should have adopted long ago. * Oa account of giving tier age incorrectly Mrs. Eugene B. SullivaD, of Memphis, was expelled from the Ladies of the Maccabees. A $10,000 suit for damages against the organiz ition has followed. If the Tennessee ladies are like those of South Carolina, their age is uncertain and past finding out. The Democratic war cry, a3 raised Ktt TTfinr-r Watflrsnn. in a ringing KJJ ?"'J w speech to the Virginia Democratic association of Washington, is ''No Government of Trusts, by Trusts and for Trusts. It is rumored that the Pennsylvania railroad has purchased the Atlantic Coast Line. The rumor is generally believed in railroad circles as well as by the public generally. Speaker W. F. Stevenson has been appointed to preside over the extra term of the court of common pleas for Newberry county, which will commence on April 21st. Prince Henry has arrived at Hamburg and was affectionally greeted by his brother, the Kaiser, and a great crowd which was enthusiastic in its demonstration. A subpoena has beeD served on Pierpont Morgan, the great financier, to testify in a suit against the Northern Pacific railroad. Cures Rheumatism or Catarrh through the Blood. Cost Nothing to Try.

The mumps are also manifesting themselves somewhat of late. Variable weather aids the trouble and keeps folks grunting. Rev. Doctor A. C. Wilkins preached the annual sermon for the ladies Missionary Society at Edgefield G. H., yesterday. His pulpi; here was filled by the Rev. S. P. Smith, of Texas, formerly one of our boys. Simpson has been absent twelve years and it is an agreeable surprise to see him now the ccnsecrattd and ekquent minister that he is. Rev. J. D. Crout had quarterly meeting at one cf his churches yesterday and in consequence there was no preaching in the Methodist church here. Col. G. T. Graham, of Lexington bar, was in town yesterday. A number of our people have been to the Charleston Exposition and should the weather settle between now and the close of the show others would probably go. March 24,1902. Occasional.
