The defeat of Senator Jones of ^ Arkansas, for reelection was not much ( of a surprise to those who have kept [ pace with current events which have a forshadowed comiDg political policies ^ in natinnoi nolitics. In two national I i campaigns Senator Jones has been ^ the head of the Democratic party t and in both instances he led the E party to defeat. He is one of those c leaders who believe in committing t his party to dead issues and handi- p capping the party by clinging to the c traditions of the past and trying to p dovetail them so as to fit present fc ones. It is but natural that the pro- s gressive Democrats of Arkansas e should want a statesman of broader and more liberal views than Senator Jones possesses to represent them in e the Upper House of Congress, and o while sympathizing with him at his b enforced retirement, we cannot help i] bat regard his displacement to be for v the benefit of the party and increases a the party's chances for success in the J next campaign, f = F , Colonel James A. Hoyt has an- o nounced through his paper, the A Greenville Mountaineer, that he would v not be a candidate for Governor in the coming State primary. Colonel zzu^t :s iLit? icauci ui iuc x luuiuitiuu ?j element in this State and is other- t wise a strong man politically tnd con- f sequently this public annoucement F of bis determination not to enter the ( race for Governor this year is of more than ordinary interest and sig- c nificance in that it indicates that the 2 dispensary will not be an issue in the v coming campaign, and it also shows a e change in the opinions of those who . have heretofore bitterly opposed the dispensary law from principle and c other considerations. Now, if these c people will lend their assistance in per- c fecting the law with the same meas nre of zeal and activity with which _ L they have fought if, many of the j evils uow existing can be reduced to a minimum if not totally eradicated. The experiment is well worth the trying. p It has been developed that through the inaccuracy of the Senate journal t of the last two days of the session it could not be learned what Senator ^ Lieutenant-Governor Tillman had appointed as a member of the legisla- g tive committee to check up the dispensary books and vouchers, soSena^ tor Sharpe, who hed been assured that he would be re-appointed, was notified by the clerk of the dispen- ^ pensary to attend the meeting of e the examining committee, and arrived v in Columbia to attend to his duties. * On his arrival there Senator McDer- ^ mott, of Horry, appeared with his credentials. In withdrawing from c the work of the committee Senator c ? t' Sharpe expressed his regret to Senator McDermott, that there had been D a misunderstanding and so the inci- * I dent closed. t a The Crumpacker resolution, pro- j inx70Hficraf.fi fVifi filo^tinn <> FUJUJfe fa O laws of the South, is a larger ele- t pbant that the Republican party can c afford to carry, anf so it has been q about decided to a'low it to sleep f the sleep of undisturbed quiet in the (_ committee room. We never from the 0 first believe i tl at this resolution f. would ever be reported favorable y -io the House by the committee to a whom it was isferr.-d. g 1 All the war reveoue taxes have h "been repealed by CoDgiese. a Considerable inquiry has been iade by those who are interested as o the reason why the payment of the ^ eDsion has been so loDg delayed. ] in official statement has been made c cncerniDg this matter and from it >e learn that many applications ] iave been recieved by the State j $oard after the lists had been sent ] the consideration of which has ] ;reatly delayed the work. "That < t is the desire of the State Pension ? "> -J ~ rvoncinndrc Tliof.

There are over 6,000 names on the jension roll, among whom the 8200,)00 appropriated for this purpose is o be divided. In speakiDg of the curtailment of he campaign meetings, the Newberry j ? ? /-mi Observer very torcetuiiy says: "inere s going to be a campaign meeting in ,bout every county in the State, whether the State committee appoints , t or not: and it will be for the con- j enience of the candidates, as well as { he people, if these appointments are j nade by the committee." It then linches the whole matter by adding < hat, "so long as we have the St3te j >rimary the State canvass should be ontinued. iNo candidate is com- j jelled to attend the meetings unless ie wants to," but give those who deire to meet the people an opportulity to do so. ________________ President Roosevelt and party are iow the honored guests of the city f Charleston and are enjoyiDg the lospital:ty of that city. One of the ncidents of his visit to the exposition nil be the presentation by him of valuable sword to Major Micah enkins, on bphalf of some of the riend9of thejlatter gentleman. The (residential party received a generus reception, and will return to VaehiDgton, no doubt well pleased nth their trip Sruth. t Governor McSweeney has an- ] lounced bis unalterable determicaion not to allow the proposed JefrieE-Fitzsimmons prize fight to be >uiled off in this State during tbe ybarleston exposition and so the afair has been called off by its proooters. The position of Governor tlcSweeney mets the hearty approal of the best class of people in very section of the State. The number of counties in the State that want a special term of ourt is surprisingly large and is an vidence that the machinery of tbe udicial branch of the State governnent is badly out of gear and needs egislative inquiry so that the defects an be found and the remedy pro ided. The Chinese exclusion bill has I >assed the National House of Repre { entatives. The drastic character of , be measure is the subject of much i icfavorable comment.

A Brilliant Wadding. ro the Editor of the Dispatch: Peak, April 4.?Our unusually quiet ittle town was all astir yesterday evening. The cccasiou was the hapoy marriage of Mr. James Haskell 3ope and Miss Margaret Violet, laughter of Capt. Jno. C. Swygert, in 5tlt. Hermon Evangelical Lutheran ihurch. For two days deft hands of friends had been at work decorating he church, and a pretty appearance ndeed did it present cn the evening )f the marriage. Pick and green vere the colors used. In the pulpit :ecess was a profusion of pot plants pvith huge banks of fern on opposite >ides. The arch and chancel railing vere entwined with evergreen. Irches and gates were constructed at ;he ends cf the two aisles leading to he chancel. Between these and the ecess was suspended a huge arch, in he centre of which was a bell cf lecoiation material, under which the :ouple plighted their troth until death loth them part. Promptly at 8 30 Mrs. J. C. ?Swy*ert struck Lohengrin's Bridal March. Cwo little gate boys in pink and jreen, Masters Carroll Swedenburg tnd Linelle Suber, marched up the lisles and opened the gates. These vere followed by four ushers, who >rcught in the bridal party as follows: Mr. Charlie Counts of Savannah, and Miss Cora Lorick of Lmo, Mr. Chas. Drafts of Lexington and Miss Queeny Swygert of Jenkiusville; Mr. Frank Wheeler of Prosperity and Miss Cievie Stuck of Peak, Mr. Julias Hope of Hope's, beet man, and Miss Mary Swygert of Peak, maid of honor. Then followed the couple t~> be made man and wife. The bridesmaids were dressed in white organdie, over green and pink in equal numbers. The hride wr.re ft nrpsa of silk mull. with veil to match, aDtl carried a huge bouquet of Easter lilies. She was accompanied by two beautiful little flower girls. Misses Euia Swygert and Myrtie Wessinger. The ceremony was performed by the pastor the Rev. S. C. BalientiDe, according to the beautiful and impressive liturgy of the Lutheran church. A reception with refreshments was served from 9 to 10 30, when Mr. and Mrs. Hope, with some friends, boarded the train for Charleston, followed by the best wishes and congratulations of a host of friends. After their return they will make their future home near here. S. C. B. How To Gain Flesh Persons have been known to gain a pound a day by taking an ounce of SCOTT'S EMULSION. It is strange, but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going properly, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food, which he could not do be ?? t'll i tore, and that is me way me gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is necessary for health; if you have not got it you can get it by taking CtgjTS ffeM You will find it just as useful in summer as in winter, and if you are thriving upon . it don't stop because the weather is warm. 50c. and $1.00, all druggists.
