When the psychic moment arrived, for which every one had been walt ing, Texas was not slow in raising aloft the mueh-talked-of trousers, on which wer? hanging placards fore and after bearing the legend: "As panis the hart for the cooling draft, so Texas pants for Taft.*' Great shouts of laughter and applause greeted this side Hu? demonstration. The lOOtt Platform. The platform as agreed upon at last night's session of the resolutions i committee and presented to the con vention to-day and adopted by a viva voce sote, differs little from the draft as first given out as the Ellis platform. Tho new platform's first few paragraphs deal with the history and achievements of the Republican party, saying lt has reached the high est advancement under the leader ship Of Roosevelt. lt refers to the opportunity for all people under our government and speaks of the revival of business and commends Congress for the recent legislation. Under pledges for the future, the following planks are given: Tariff bureaus for revision by spe cial session following the Inaugura tion of the President. Favors fixing the maximum and minimum rates to be administered by the President under limitations. Currency.-Approves tho Vreeland bill ns an emergency measure and declares for a new system affording more elasticity. Postal Savings. - Favors the es tablishment of postal savings banks. Trusts.- -Amendments to the Sher man law giving the Federal govern ment greater supervision. Secure greater publicity in man agement of corporations. Railroads-Government employees pledge to the laws for the safety of employees. Wage Earners.--Effort to lighten their burden by increased opportu nity for labor where possible. The Republican party will at all times uphold the authority and In tegrity of tho courts, State and Fed eral, and will ever Insist that their powers to enforce their process and to protect life, liberty and property ahall be preserved inviolate. We be lieve, however, the rules of procedure in the Federal courts, with respect to issuance of the writ of Injunction, should be more accurately defined by j statute, and that no injunction or temporary restraining order should be issued without notice except Irre parable injury would result from de lay, In which case a speedy hearing thereafter should be granted. Rural Delivery.-Favors the ex tension of free rural delivery of the mails. Rights of the Negro.-Condemn nil devices that have for their real atm the disfranchisement of the ne groes. Natural Resources.-Indorse the movement Inaugurated by the admin istration for conservation of natural resources. Army and Navy.-Preparedness for war, insuring peace. Protection of Americans Abroad. Commend the admlnh . ration for the effort to protect American citizens abroad. Extension of Foreign Commerce. Steps for increasing merchant ma rine. Veterans.-Increased pensions for veterans of all wars. Other planks favor the establish ment of a bureau of mines and min ing; greater efficiency in health agencies. It Is recommended- that the hun dredth anniversary of Lincoln's birth, February 12, 1909, be observed as a patriotic holiday. The platform ends with a refer ence to the differences between Re publican and Democratic prlnlcples of government. If one feels dull and spiritless In the spring or early summer they call it "Spring Fever." But there Is no fever-usually. It ls the after effect of our winter habits. The nerves are mostly at fault. Tired, worn-out nerves leave us languid, lifeless, and without spirit or ambition. A few doses of Dr. Shoop's Restorative will absolutely and quickly change all of these depressing symptoms. The Re storative, of course, won't bring you back to full health In a day or two, but it will do enough in 48 hours to satisfy you that the- remedy ls reach i; g that "tired spot." Druggists everywhere are advising its use as a splendid and prompt general tonic. It gives more vim and more spirit to tho spoonful than any other known nerve or constitutional tonic. It sharpens a failing appetite, aids di gestion, frees sluggish livers and kidneys, and brings new life, strength and ambition. Test lt a few days and be convinced. J. W. Bell. Items (loni Return. Return, June 17.-Special: Sein ing and going to town seems to be the order of the day now. Farmers are getting quite a rest from their field work on account of so much rain. If we were the judges we would say we are getting too much rain; and perahps a good many have put themselves on the Judge's seat and have actually said this. If so they are to be excused' and sym pathized with. Sometimes, when we commence to judge some people by their "fruits"-and that ls the only way we can judge them-we are per suaded to believe that they think they do really know more r.bout themselves, and what they need, and I thc things that would be best for them than their Maker. We find a stronger proof of that In the many vacant seats In the church on every Sunday morning, I believe, than any where else, In that so many people say, by their actions, that If they went to Sunday school and didn't -.itay at home and rest they wouldn't feel like working next day-as much as to say, God has nothing to do with my feelings. They never seem to realize that they, and all they have belong to God, and that he gave it to them, their lives and their belongings. I did not mean to preach a sermon, but when we real ize In the true sense what, our Lord meant when he said "Without me ye can do nothing," lt ls hard to keep from saying some things. Things are generally moving along smoothly through this section. There are some who are not through planting corn yet. Rather late now, but better late than not at all. Has ten the day when there will be more corn grown In this county and less cotton. People are abou* V..rough harvest ing around here. There has been a lot of oats raised this year, and they come in mighty nice when a fellow is almost out of corn. Elbert Ellis wears smiles all the day long now, because there's ano ther Ellis in the family. It's a boy, too. We learn that we are to have a three weeks' singing school at Re turn this summer. It ls badly need ed. The young ought to learn to sing more and sin less. One other thought, and I'm done: I noticed In your paper last week where some one said that every let ter of the English alphabet was used in the twenty-first verse of the sev enth chapter of Ezra. Please ffllow me to correct that man, and tell him that the letter "j" is not used in that verse. It reads thus: "And I, even I. Artaxerxes, the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra, the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall re quire of you. lt be done speedily." Brother, let's keep In mind what the Lord said won bl happen to us if we took from or added lo the things of tlie bible. Some new faces in the Sunday school last Sunday morning wore some of the "fruits" of the Sunday school convention held with our church recently. J. B. D. Cured Hemorrhages of the Lungs. "Several years since my lungs were so badly affected I lt I had many hemorrhages," writes A. M. Ake, of Wood, Ind. "I took treatment with several physicians without any bene fit.

Congressman From Third District ind tho Work All Hight. (Anderson Mail.) Some weeks ago a gentleman from Newberry was in Washington at the time the house committee on public buildings was holding public hear ings, and he complained mightily be cause Congressman Aiken did not make an engagement for him to go before the committee and make a speech urging au . ;n>ropriatlon fora post office for Newberry. Mr. Aiken said he bad no objection to the gentleman making the speech, but that lt could do no possible good, and would be an unnecessary waste of the committee's time. Mr. Aiken as sured the gentleman that everything that could be done to securo th? ap^ proprlation was being done. Mr. Aiken's judgment has been vindicated. The public buildings bill has just passed the house, and lt con tains an item for $50,000 for ft post office building for Newberry. JAnd it. seems to us that this Ismlghtyllberal, for Newberry is not near as big a town nor as important as Anderson was when she got her Amt appropria tion of $50,000 for a postofflce build ing. Mr. Aiken was right in the course he pursued. Public committee hear ings seldom do any good and often they do harm. Certainly they can do no good in the matter of an ap propriation for a postofhee building. The committee han on file all the fig ures showing the amount of business done at each postofflce in the United States, and nothing that anybody could say would be more convincing than these figures. A long-winded speech from a dull speaker might de feat an appropriation, while a little Judicious work at the right time by the right sort of a Congressman might land an appropriation In a doubtful case. We have an idea that the Newberry appropriation was se cured In this manner moro than any other. Mr. Aiken has made good In this matter, and he is to be congratu lated. And when you come to think about lt he has made a mlghtly good Con gressman. He is now serving his third term, and during that time he has secured appropriations for four public buildings in his district-for Anderson, Greenwood, Abbeville and Newberry, and has Just secured an Increase for Anderson. What better record could he have made? Can any other Southern Consressman show such a record? Weak women should try Dr. Shoop's Nlyht Cure.

London, June 17.-As an outcome of the alleged marriage of Reginald Gray Coke, son of the Hon. Henry and Lady Katherine Coke, and ne phew of the Earl of Leicester, to Galla, sister of Mark Hambourg, the pianist, In America last January,Mrs. Reginald Gray Coke to-day secured a decree of divorce on the ground of bigamy and adultery. The documents produced In evi dence showed that Reginald Coke ob. fained a divorce in Nebraska on the ground of desertion on the part of his wife. Slr John G. Barnes, in granting the decree, said that Regi nald Coke's marriage to Misb Ham bourg was clearly bigamous and he sincerely wished that something could be done In America to prevent this sort of thing.

Bohle, who lives about three miles from Newberry, was bit ten on the leg and arm this morning by a supposed mad dog. Mr. Bohle, accompanied by his father, left at noon for Atlanta, carrying the dog's head with them. He goes to Pasteur Institute for treatment, and the dog's head will be examined to determine whether or not lt was mad. Young Bohle was in the field early this morning working, and was on his way to get a buckec when the dog, which was lying In a row, sprang at him, biting him on tho leg and arm. The dog was killed and its head cut off. Young Bohle came to town at once and went on to Atlanta. Constipation causes headache, nau sea, dizziness, languor, heart palpi tation.

A dispatch from Oslnnlng, New York, says: A Confederate flag fly ing in the printing office of Wm. J. Phystoc, on Main street, was hauled down to-day by Commander Summer A. Smith, of Morrell Post, of thje Grand Army. Physloc was cited to appear before the post to-night and explain his action in hoisting the flag so that It overlapped the Ameri can flag, also flying from poles on the roof. Osinning is tn gala attire ir ?cai isc of a convention of farmers and Physioc decorated his building in honor of the convention. He de clared the flag belonged to his fa ther, a Virginian, who fought during the civil war, and that he hoisted it intending no .disrespect to the Stars and Stripes, but to add to the beauty of thu decorations. Physioc, it ls said, v as a member of the Rough Riders Regiment during the war with Spain. He was not at his office when Commander Smith appeared there to demand that the flag be lowered, and in his absence Smith hauled ii down and carriel it away. Morrell Post met to-night and ad opted a resolution sustaining Smith's action and deciding to keep the flag as a trophy. Major Physioc and his father, Major Physioc, of the Con federate army, were present and told the veterans the fl?g was displayed as a decoration. The explanation was accepted and the PhyslOcs were given ? reception by the post. How's This ?

New Orlans, June 17.-Three men attempted to hold up and rob a street car on the outskirts of the city yes terday. As a result Henry Odell, one of th,, bandits, ls at the hospital with a bullet wound in the thigh and Karnest Reviere, the motorman, ls suffering from a similar Injury at his home. Odell says he was persuaded to attempt the holdup by the other two men. The three bandits boarded the car and after riding a short dist ance leveled revolvers at the con ductor and demanded all the money he had. The conductor sought ref uge with the motorman, who grap pled with Odell. lu the fight be tween the motorman and Odell the latter's revolver was discharged twice and each of the men received a slight wound.

Bennettsvllle, June 18.-One of the most daring "blind tigers" that Marlboro has known seems to be Cary Thomas, colored. All custom ers look alike to him, and he had no objection to taking the price from the night policeman Saturday even ing. The chief of police sent the night policeman to Thomas to buy a quart of whiskey, and then from a short distance watched the proceed ings. Thomas delivered the goods In the bright moonlight to the offi cer and when arrested had am t h ?r quart on his person. Mayor Breeden called the case yesterday morning and upon a plea of guilty on the part of Thomas Im posed a sentence of $50 fine or 30 days. Thomas took the days. He will probably get more from the State when those are properly used. Carter Walha Have a large Sto Lawns, Cambrics out at prices to s Also a comp: Low Out Shoes Children. MAKES LIFE'S FOR SA CW. Pite WALHAL CHARGED WITH MURDER. Citizen of Columbia, Whose Horse Hiin Over Child, was Acquitted. " J *?) nubia, June 18.-D. W. Ruff, charged of murder, was to-day tried before the Circuit Court, Judge Oary presiding, and found not guilty. A little over a year ago Ruff was driving into Columbia, up Main street, and ran over and killed Ara ber Norman, a little Syrian boy, three years old. The child was in the middle of the street, and when Ruff saw him it was too late to pre vent the accident. The child, accord ing to the testimony given In court, was gotting out of the way of a wagon which wa;; going down Main street and ran into tho buggy, which was proceeding up the street. The horse knocked the child down with its forefoot and stepped on it with the hind foot, and before the buggy could be brought to a standstill one wheel had passed over the child. Se riously Injured Internally, tht? child lived only a few minutes. It would have been practicable for the coroner's jury to have exoner ated Mr. Ruff, under the circum stances, at the time, but he preferred to* have the legal proceedings gone through with in court. An unusual feature in the trial was caused by the inability of the father of the child to testify, when placed on the witness stand, on ac count of his not being able to speak English. A friend acted as inter preted, however, and they were both sworn in and look the stand togeth er. Norman told what he knew about the accident to his friend and he tn turn told lt to the Jury. li was plainly shown that the ac cident was entirely the fault of the parents of the child in letting it play in the street unattended. In charging the jury Judge Ernest Gary said in substance, that the tes timony proved that the accident was not at all the fault of the driver of the buggy which rap over the child, and that lt was simply an accident, and that accidents will happen, even in the best regulated families.

There will be an annular eclipse of the sun on June 28th. About two thirds to three-fourtliB of the sun will be obscured in this latitude at about 9 o'clock a. m. The eclipp?! will be annular in Southern Florida. An an ular eclipse is where the moon does not wholly cover the sun, but leaves a ring of light (Latin "annulus") around the moon. This ls because the moon at the time is so far away from the earth that it is to the eye smaller than the sun. A total eclipse of the sun occurs when the moon is so near the earth as to seem larger than the sun, and consequently com pletely covers lt.

Wine Merchant Meets His Extortion ers With Bullets. New Orleans, La., June 17.-Fol lowing a series o? crimes attributed to so-called "Black Hand" societies in the Italian quarter of New Or leans, one of the worst tragedies yet connected with that section took place early to-day, when three Ital ians were shot to their death. According to the police these men were killed as a result of an attempt to extort money from Pietro Oioa cona, a wealthy Italian wine mer chant. Gioacona and his son told the police that these men bad frequently bought wine from them by the barrel and had invariably refused to pay for it. According to their story the three men forced them io ship a bar rel of wine to a point in Louisiana yesterday, and returned early to-day and ordered them to prepare a meal. The elder GioacOna suspected that trouble would ensue and bid a re peating rifle near the table. When one of the visiting Italians drew a heavy revolver and ordered them to produce money and other valuables the elder Gioacona answered with a shot from the rifle. The man he fired at fell dead and the two others attempted to escape. One was killed before he got ten feet from the table. The other reached a staircase, only to receive a bullet in his brain as he started down the steps, his body fall ing into the court yard below. Only one of the Italians who was killed has been identified. He ls known to the police by the name of Barraca. World's Greatest Pain ' Killer For Rheumatism, Sciatica. Lam?

Negro Gets 100 Lashes. (Anderson Intelligencer, 19th.) A negro man about thirty years of age was given a severe whipping by a hundred or more good citizens of this county in Martin township on Monday afternoon. The darkey had written two insulting letters to a 16 year-old girl, whose mother ls a widow. The ?Irl did not expose the first letter, but she did show the sec ond letter to her mother. This letter was most insulting and was full of threats. As soon as the men of that neighborhood heard of the acts of the darkey tr ^y gathered together .aid caught the negro, and after getting a full confession from him, placed him across a log in the woods and applied a heavy buggy trace. Some In the crowd wanted to kill the negro, but the terrible whipping he received was the next thing to death.
