Olmsted, Le Roy, N. Y. Prone to Sin. President Roosevelt appears prone to sin as the sparks are to fly upward. Iu his recent speech at Arlington on Decoration day be went out of bis way to attack the South, and in consequence has precious few friends left in that section outside of the officeholders. In Princess Anne county, Virginia, two hundred F. F. V's. took revenge by burning in effigy the stuffed clothing of a cowboy representing Teddy and made speeches around the fire a3 hot as the eloquence of their fathers fifty years ago. As a rough rider Roosevelt was a success, but he'll fiad that the American people can't be rounded up as the long horned Western steers that he projected with in his younger years. Shoots Twenty-one Miles. Arrangements are being made at Fort Hamilton, New York harbor, for mounting the new 16 inch gun which has been in the course of construction at the Watervliet Arsenel for the past four years. The gun will be placed at the fort as soon as it has been officially tested at the Sandy Hook proving grounds.: The test is awaited eagerly by all the gun makers of the world. It is claimed the gun will hurl a shell twenty-one | miles. In order to discharge the j gun it will require 1,000 pounds of j powder and a 3,000 pound projectile. I The weight of the gun is 150 tons.

The Columbia Evening Record, in ; its issue of the 13th instsnt has the following to say on a question that has been settled adversely to the contention of our esteemed contemporary across the muddy Congaree by the voters of Brookland. The Record says: "The Record today contains a card from a citizen of Brookland urging the people of that town to vote tomorrow for 'extension of its limits. The Record has frequently called the attention of Columbia's council to the necessity of extending the limits of this city. There could be no better way of extension than an union with Brookland, CDlumbia's thriving suburb across the Congaree. Such an union would have much to recommend it. Brookland already ha9 about 2,000 inhabitants and is steadily growing. Joined to Columbia it would make a respectable growth in the number of inhabitants of this city and help make the city show up better in the next census. If Columbia is to be the census metropolis of South Carolina, there must be expansion of her limits, and the city council will not do its duty if it does not work for exoansion. JL With right expansion, coupled with the growth of the present city's population, the next census would show up Columbia with at least 60,000 people, which would be a marvelous growth and attract both capital and settlerp. Brookland should be ward six of Columbia, with a free- bridge across the Congaree, The advantage of union would by no means be all in favor of Columbia. Union would give Brookland a free bridge very shortly and immediately bestow upon that town the improved police and fire protection it needs. It would not be long after union before Columbia's system of water works and street lightning would be extended to Brookland. In this case procastination is the thief of opportunity. Action is needed now. Brookland is growing and if not added to Columbia while young and week may prefer hereafter to work out her own salvation and develop as a rival city to instead of a part of Columbia. The capital city needs all her suburbs, not as suburbs, but as Darts of her self. Heady to Yield. "I used DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve for piles and found it a certain cure," says S. R.

Republicans Embarased. Washington, June 13.?The crisis in the Cuban reciprocity fight was carried to the last ditch this morning, when the conciliation committee consisting of three senators representing the adminstration and three senators for the beet sugar insurgents, met to see if compromise legislation could be reached. The administration enters the fight at disadvantage, through the revelation that General Wood, while military goverDor of Cuba, had contributed several thousand dollars to the fight being made in behalf of reciprocity. The situation is embarrassing from a political standpoint, but President Roosevelt is determined to fight his way through. Settled for the Present. As a result of the meeting of the Board of Trustees of Clemson College recently, President Hartzog has been induced to reconsider his resignation and remain at the head of the College. For the present this ends the trouble at the College, but the consequences of this action of the trustees will not be known until the institution opens again next fall. It is said that a large majority of the students are not pleased, and many friends of the College fear that the attendance at the next session will be greatly decreased.

Cuba Will be Short Lived. Mr. John G Carlisle was in Washington recently on important legal business. He had not since returned from Cuba. While there he met a number of the best and most intelli gent class of people who resided in that country. They were nearly unanimous in their opinion that Cuba as a republic would not last. Some thought it would hold together for six months, and others for a year, but few, if any, believed that it would last longer than a year or so. It was generally conceded that the United States would take Cuba under its protection by annexation inside of two years, and the wealthy and business interests of thecountry regarded it as "consummation devoutly to be wished." Under Military Control. Pawtucket, R. I, June 13 ?Nearly two thousand soldiers, each armed with fifteen rounds of bail cartridges, hold this city today. Street car traffic has entirely stopped, and at j the first renewal of rioting which | has already resulted in one . rious shooting, the troop3 have orders to shoot to kill. The streets are crowded with angry, muttering people, despite the auti-riot proclamation of Governor Kimball, who issued a proclamation ordering them to disperse. Many men are armed and it needs but a spark to precipitate the fiercest sort of battle. i - * Two negroes dropped dead a few i days ago in the neighbcrho.d of Con- \ garee. ^ & 1 Cohen's Shoe Store, 1 163? }IAI\ street, ^ Qcl-c-rr^Toia, s?
