Wednesday, May 21, 1902. .
The latest sensation in political
circles is the announcement, alleged to
be founded, on mere rumor, that Col.
James A. Hoyt will probably be a
candidate for United States Senator
in the coming Democratic primary.
It is further alleged, on rumor also
be it understood, that bis candidacy
would take well with Senator Tillman,
who it is rumored now locks
? m
with disfavor upon the candidacy 01
Congressman Latimer, because the
latter refused to sign at the request
of the former, a statement the
purport of which was to show where
the sympathies of the Democrats lay
in the McLaurin-Tillman fisticuff.
Another evidencer of the friendship
existing between Tillman and Hoyt
is surmised from the fact that Col
i
Hoyt has been entrusted with the task
of presenting the new platform to
the convention, of which he has been
instrumental in preparing. Politics
indeed make strange bed fellows!
Who would have supposed only a
few short years ago that time would
so soon come when Tillman and Hoyt
and Gonzales and Gil Hemphill would
lie down together in peace and harmony
under the same vine and fig
tree? Colonel Hoyt may be induced
to become a candidate for faited
States Senator, but we take the statement
that Senator Tillman will consent
to become his godfather with a
big allowance of salt for the reason
that the milleniam shows no signs
of dawning.
The river boats on the Congaree
river opens up vast possibilities for
the development of the inland country,
the scope of which has never yet
been conceived by the most sanquine
imagination. Lexington, together
with the balance of the contiguous
territory adjacent to that river, will
share in the benefits which will follow
the establishment of this class
of steamers. This is the kind of
ft* of Horrnnruov
fefutav V^UIUiV4VAMt
is contending for and stands pledged
to foster and encourage. By a
policy of the government to improve
the rivers and harbors of the conntry
an appropriation of $50,000 per
annum was secured to open the Congaree
to navigation from Granby to
Columbia and the establishment of
this line of river steamers is the first
fruits of that appropriation. The
credit is due Senator Tillman.
The Cubans have at last succeeded
in establishing a government of their
own, the island having been turned
over to them by the United States
l TIT OfUU rru~
government ou iuay avw. jluo pcisistence
with which that people struggled
through all the long weary years
for their civil and political freedom
cannot fail but strike a responsive
chord in the breast of all liberty loving
people, and the hardship?, privations
and martyrdom they have endured
to accomplish this end has won
the respect and -sympathies of the
civilized world. May that new born
government steer clear of internal
dissensions and strife and prove to
the doubting Thomases that the Cubans
are capable of governing themselves.

pledge in the Democratic primary be
so amended as to require each
candidate for a State office to pledge
himself to reside in Columbia in the
event of his election. This is a
sensible suggestion and one that all
candidates can consistently take.
i
The action of the State Democratic
convention, which is in session in
Columbia today, will tell the story
as to whether South Carolinians are
to be political serfs with the collar of
their master around their necks, or
political freemen, bowing the head
at no man's command. We are confronted
by one or the other conditions.
Which shall it b^?

If valuable services rendered
the Democratic party is to be rewarded,
Mr. Rodgers certainly will be

When weak, in low spirits,

SLOWER AND TREE.
Altheas show their Rose of Sharon
flowers in August and September.
In settinsr out a tree the previous
season'? growth should be shortened
one-third to three-fourths, according to
the roots.
The golden coreopsis apd the feathery
shoots of the garden asparagus
make a beautiful and artistic combination
in a simple vase.
Watercress is good when the leaves
are large. The size of the leaves Indicates
the amount of tissue?strengthening
chlorophyll?in them.
- The safest rule in pruning is to keep
watch on the young trees and cut out
any branch that seems to need removal
while it is yet small enough to yield
to the knife.
Trees that grow large tops, such as
elms, silver maples, lindens, etc..
should be planted forty-five feet apart
in order to allow each tree room for
expansion and prevent too much
shade.
Plants of sweet william must be purchased
for a new garden, as those
grown from seed sown in the spring
will not blossom until the spring following
Onr>p started. however, thev
will continue year after year.
Black Sea Peculiarities.
The Black sea differs in a most remarkable
manner from other seas and
oceans. A surface current flows continuously
from the Black sea into the
Mediterranean and an under current
from the Mediterranean into the Black
sea. The latter Ncurrent is salt, and, being
heavier than the fresh water alx>ve,
it remains stagnant at the bottom. Being
saturated with sulphuretted hydrogen.
this water will not maintain life,
and so the Black sea contains no living
inhabitants below the depth of about
100 fathoms. The deeper water when
brought to the surface smells exactly
like rotten eggs.
