The inauguration ceremonies of
President Roosevelt at the Capital of
-* a __ 1, CJ.4
CD? unnea oiaice, i?oi oaiuiuoj, our
passed like ceremonies in pomp,
splendor and glory. Tbe day was an
ideal one and tbe great throDgs,
gathered together from every section
of the United States met in brotherly
love under one common flag and all
rejoicing in the fact of again living
in a reunited country with one hope,
one aspiration and one purpose, that
of making it tbe most powerful nation
on land or sea, at peace or at
war that the world has ever witnessed.
1 We were mistaken iu saying last
week that "tbe Legislative committee
on tbe Dispensary is considering the
advisability of having all liquors
bottled at tbe Dispensary." It
should have been tbe State Board of
Directors of tbe Dispensary and not
tbe Legislative Committee", as tbe
latter bas nothing to do with tbe
matter whatever. We gladly make
this correction, because it is a step
in tbe right direction, and those who
have inaugurated tbe reform is deserving
of and should have the credit
of it.
Charles W. Anderson, a negro
politician, bas been appointed United
States Internal Revenue Collector of
New York by President Roosevelt.
Tbe Republicans of the North are
not eating their dish of crow with

"Williston, March 6.?At tbe coroner's
ii quest which met today nothing
new was developed in tbe killing
of Mr. J. T. Smith, Jr. Solicitor Davis,
owing to some rumors of lynching
which had circulated, thought it advisable
to postpone toe case till such
time as the ends of justice might be
promoted aod that, owing to these
rumors, it was thought best to start
no investigation which might excite
passion8 which are already much
aroused. Upon motion of Dr. W. C
Smith, more than 100 men who were
at the investigation with tbe solicitor
to prevent any vu 1-nce to aay suspects
who might be apprehended.
The Smith family have put up a
reward of $2,500 and the govtrnor j
will be aefced to supplement this j
amount for the apprehension of the
assassin.
A sad feature of this murder is

understand will be some time in

their hands full. They are doing
excellent work.

War Baging in the Far East.
Mukden, March 7.?Fighting of
the fiercest nature which is likely to
decide the fate of the battle which
has been progressing for ten days,
began at dawn today, and has continued
uninterruptedly up to the
present time on a front 14 miles
long west of the railroad and a line
with Shakhe river. The Japanese
also have made a desperate attack on
Bentsiaputze, and reports are arriving
here that fighting was renewed
this morning on the extreme left of
the Russian army. Both sides are
fighting with desperation to the
westward, though the troops are
well nigh exhausted. The issue of
the battle may depend largely on
tb6 relative physical condition of the
rank and file. The losses in the ten
days of battle on both sides are already
far greater than were 'the
casualties in the battle of Liao Yang
and are likely to increase as the days
pass before the issue is fully decided.
COUNTED- JAPANESE DEAD.
St. Petersburg, March 7 ?Gen.
Kuropatkin in a dispatch dat^d 6th

Japanese officers and 2,000 men in
front of the Gaotu pass position
The Russians buried many bodies.
Harry W. Meetze Dead.
Harry W. Meetzo died at the home
of his mother, 1928 Gadsden street,
Columbia, last Saturday night in the
19th year of his age. He was a
native of this place and was the son
of the late W.. H. and Mrs. Emma
Meetze, and moved with his parents
to Columbia several years ago.
Harry was a good boy, peaceful and
quiet in disposition and courteous
and polite in manners. There survives
him a mother and sister, together
with numerous relatives and
friends to love and revere his memory
and shed tears of sorry over bis
departure.
His remains were brought over
from Colombia Sunday and the remains
were met at the depot by
relatives and friends and escorted to
St. Stephen's cemetery where they
were interred near those of his father
?
Highly Commended.
The Bill in Congress to divide the ]
State into two Judicial Districts j
- -- ? i*
failed to pass because ox a disagree- j
ment between Congressmen Job neon !
and Finley.
The name of Col. G. T. Graham of
this place waR presented to the President
of the United States as a suitable
and proper person to be appointed
Judge of the United States J
District Court to be created by the j
proposed bill.: . Col. Graham was !
unanimously endorsed by the Lex- j
ington Bar, and by prominent law- j
yers snd business men in various
sections of the State as a lawyer of
large experience and great ability
j and in every respect fully qualified
| for the exalted position. His ability j
j as a lawyer-is well knowD, and if be j
| had beeD appointed to that position j
I he would have done honor to himself
I and to the State. The proposed bill
| is likely to pass, and Mr. Graham's
| many friends have high hopes of his
I appointment by the President.

Physicians tell us that all

human body passes through

body sutlers, l'oor neaitn
follows poor blood ; Scott's
Emulsion makes the blood
pure. One reason why
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
is such a great aid is because
it passes so quickly into
the blood, it is partly digested
before it enters the
sumach; a double advantage
in this. Less work
for the stomach; quicker
and more direct benefits.
To get the greatest amount
of good with the least possible
effort is the desire of
everyone in poor health.
Scott's Emulsion does just |
| that. A change for the
better takes place even before
you expect it. *
