ATER LAT E'S ROALP. Agreemtent WMd to Have Been Reacl ed to -Eliminate gertain Candi dates So as to Rduce the umber of Opponents Possibility that 04y One Will Fin ay Be in the Running. Washington, Dec. 31.-Thoug Washington has been off the map ti adjo,urnent'of Congress for the hol days,and few men of prominence hav been here, some interesting gossip h been afloat concerning the electic of a successor to Senator Latime when his term of office shall have e: pired in March 1909. 'From preset indications the summer of 1908 wi see a whirlwind campaign on i South Carolina, one that will mal t4t of 1902 look tame. It is known that a caulcus was hel recently among a large number < prominent politicians who have bee figuring strongly on preventing th return of Senator Latimer to the ul per house of Congress. These men ai accredited to various sections of tli State, two beng from Wateree se( tion, one from Spartanburg and fot from Greenville. The result of th meeting showed beyond dispute thi at least seven men in the State way to become the successor of Senat< Latimer as the colleague of Senat< Tillman. Greenville, it seems, will cut dow her number of aspii'ants from fou to one and one of the middle counti candidates will fall out, and with tl Spartanburg man the three will prol ably make the fight against Senat< Latimer. The men who have been mentione as the next junior Senator fro: South Carolina are from all walks < Rife,-farmers, merchants, Iawyer cotton mill men, and other lines. Another matter that nas practicall been decided updn by the men -w1 are opposed to the reelection of .eni tor Latimer is to cut down to tl smallest degree the number of cand dates, and this they will do, it is ut derstood, though some who wish dea ly for the scat in the senate may I sacrificed in the attempt. It is not. improbable, after all, thl Senlator Latiler's opponents ror r election narrow down to one candidal from Spartanburg an( one from ti middle section. both of whom are poi, .ular with the ra,k and file voters 1 the State and are politicians of a hig >order. The race looks interestii even at this distance. COL. J. 0. BOYD PARALYZED. Recently Elected Adjutant and Inspe( tor General Stricken on Streets of GreenvilRe- Condition Serious.

Stat e %gisation Urged-NOcMary to Make *Ltionaa Masures Ef fective-Miaufacturers PleVd For Relief. Washington, December 31.-Many sfates of the Union are rapidly fall ing into line and are instructing their h Legislatures that will meet this win ter to etiact pure food laws in co operation with the national laws. e This step is necessary for the rea ason that many people yho formerly n looked upon the passage of the na tional food law favorably believing that it wquld prove a boon -to surfer t ing humanity, are awakening to th< 11 fact that they are not to receive all n the blessings once contemplated. Tle e law passed by congress at its last ses sion has control of and reaches out to handle only Inter-State shipments. That has left a loophole through which many unscrupulous manufac e turers of food products are crowding their States and their customers with impure goods, which would not, irn .e many cases, pass the vigilant eye of a government inspector. So long as the output of the packing s house, the bake shop and other manu t factories where food supplies are t made for the eighty millions of peo r pe inl the United Sattes (o not cross the border line of a state, shirewd manufacturers are not hesitating tc a palm off within state lines much of n their worthless and unsalcable pro ducts. e State food inspection as pointed y out by the department of Agriculture ir must within a short time raise the :price of every-day commodities as d bread, meat, etc., to such a degre< n that manufacturers will be puzzled at f how to meet the situation and yet noi raise the price of their goods out o. all proportion to former prices. This y feature of the State inspection law 0 is appealing in unmistakable terms to coitAimers all over tile country whc e see in higher taxation for manufac . turers higher prices to themselves foi . what they consume. State and minicipalities that have ie thought it, wise to co-operate with the Departmenti of Agriculture in the el t forcement of the pure food law and - to enlact withinl their limits, laws t1hai ,e would ensuire the maximum of pur< e food products, filld n general clamoi . from manufncturers, wholesalers, and n even from many retail merchants tc h leave the law alone and not to place inspectors out under state and m1un: cipal control, the cost of which in the end, would. have to be borne by the consumer. Thicy are begging piteously that their business be left unmolested They maintain that consumers every where are erying robbery and tliat already being saddled with taxatior as the result of the enirorcement Ot the national food law, they should not have heaped upon them more expense: which must be added to the price oi their goods and p)aid eventually by the people who eat .them. 5 .Those States that will, when their s Legislatures meet this winter, endea ,vor to enact legislation looking to the Senforcement of State food law~s under .police powers will find 110 small ri amount of op)position to the movement. a Lobbyists have already commenced to . ply their trade~ with the very effective y. argument that more laws will mean kmore inspection, and that more in e specction will mean higher prices. .Sheridan's Trap. s Any interrup)tion wvhile he wvas mak e ing a speech, always caused Richard .. Brinsley Sheridan considerable an t. noyance. On one occaision the, dram at aist showed his displeasure of a fel I how member of the house of commons .. who kept crying out ''Hear, hear'' I every few minutes. During a certain debate Sheridan took occasion to de scribe a political contemporary wh'o wished to play rogue, but had only t sense enough to act fool. ''Where,'' , exclaimed .he, with great emphasis .. ''Where shal,we find at more foolish a knave or a more knavish fool than ."'Hear, hear,'' was shouted by the troublesome member. Sheridan turned and, thanking the hionorable member for the prompt in formation, sat down amid a general roar of laughter. Feed and Sale Stable --AT : NEW BARN -:- OF -: A. T.
