WHITE G P CALLS ON TAFT S. C. BLEACHED REPUBLICAN ISM IN WASHINGTON. Palmetto State's Adherents of Lily Policies Appear to Impress Presi dent With Their Pulchritude. The State. Washington, April 11.-The white Republican party of South Carolina, 14 strong, today called on President Taft and received the congratulations of the administration- on the general pulehritude of its personnel. At a formal meeting of the party tonight, there was a spirited race for the most pulehritudinous gentleman, in whih Col. PjreRll, posmaster of Newberry, dominated the situation. With a strong tendency to insur ey on the part of Col. Thomas ter of Gaffney and J. P. Jjittle of nton, Col. Geo. H. Huggins, post ter of Columbia, is a near insur t, but will vo.te with the organ , if only they will work for a postoffice <building in Columbia. Floyd takes his defeat with grace, knowing that as he the goods he is not worried over poor judgment of his peers. The , which is under the leadership Capt. John G. Capers, is here to a formal demonstration of the resr ectability of the Republican party in South aro)n. Ater p. brief "audience'" with the president, they, were given a '-ancheon at the Metiopolitan cluib, the most fashion able'. of sudh institutions in Wash ington, ,by John Hays Hammond, chairman of the League of Republi can Clubs of the United States. This afternoon they visited, en masce, Postmaster General Hiteheoek, the political manager of the admin istration, who received them with great eordiality and evidences of in creased respect for the new Repub licanism of South Carolina. Taft Well Pleased. President Taft was apparently well pleased at the looks of the party and was intensely interested in their rep resentations of the prospec-ts of in ereasing their numbers in South Caro lina. And the chairman of the League of Republican Clubs, John Hays Hammond, in lunching them at ''so smart'' a cltib as the Metropoli tana, showed that he was not indiffer ent to the charms of real palchritude. Now there is another .buncti of felf lows, which, at times, re'present them selves as being the true exponents of Repuiblicanismx in South Carolina, th~e same being .this Charleston' bandh, composed of the Hon. Harris, post master, and the Hon. Durand, collec tor strongly indorsed and sponsored An aching back is instantly relieved by an application of Sloan's Liniment This liniment takes the place of massage and is better than sticky plasters.' It penetrates -without rubbing- through the skin and muscular tissue right to the bone, quickens the -blood, relieves congestion, and gives permanent as well as temporary relief. Here's the Proof. Mr. JAMES C. LEE, of I100 9th st., S.E.,Washington,D.C.,.writes: "Thirty years ago I fell from a scaffold and seri -ouslyminured my back. I suffered terri bly at times ; from the small of my back all arotund my stomach was just as if I had been beaten with a club. I used - erary plaster I could get with no relief. sloan's Liniment took the pain right out, and I can now do as much ladder work as any man in the shop, thanks to SIo an's Mr. J. P. EVAYs, of Mt. Airy, Ga., says: "After being afflicted for three years with rheumatism, I used Sloan's Liniment, and was cured sound and well, and am glad to say I haven't been troubled with rheumatism since. My leg was badly swollen from my hip to my knee. One-half a bottle took the pain and swelling out." - Sloan's Liniment has no equal as a remedy for Rheu matism, Neuralgia or any pain or stiffness in the muscles or joints.] Prices,25c.,50c.and $1.00 Sloan's b oo k on hosa coattle, sheep fr-ee. Address . -- ; Dr. Earl S. Sloao, a Boston. Mass.. U.S.A by sueh personal friends of President Taft as the Hon. Hemphill, formerly of Charleston, now Richmond, and sometimes known as the deacon, and the Hon. Rhett, mayor of .Charleston, but these are simply buttinsters. Maj. Hemphill is a' Democrat; Rhe.tt is a Democrat, and Harris and' Durand are carpetbagers. The sure enough friends of te adimin-ration, the ones who are going to carry South Carolina for the Republican .ticket next time, are the ones who today called on the president. And they made a good impression. They are still making an impression; for most of them are here yet, and they 'are considering matters of great moment to tie State and nation. -The 14 are: John G. Capers, of Greenville and Weshington; C. J. Purcell, of Newberry; W. M. Floyd -th'at',s "Mart" you know-of Spartanburg; Jas. E. Hunter, of Un ion; Charles Dudley, J. F. Jenkins and Thomas Hester, of Gaffney; Geo. H. Huggins, Lawson D. Melton and W. Boyd Eva-ns of Columbia; Leumas Blaloek, of Goldville; Allen D. Web ster, of Orangaburg; J. P. Little, of Clinton, and Charles Burns of West minster. After the formal receeption by Postmaster General Hitchcock, Messrs. Capers and BlIalook remained to talk over the situation. What was said is not known, but it is suppos ed that they talked over federal pat ronage and the general good of the Republican party in South Carolina. Several Still Amidous, There Are seVeral .poshnasters in South Carolina still unsettled, and something is to be done about them. Notable among :theae are those at Laurens and Union. James E. Hun ter is the son of Postmaster J. C. Hunter. He will talk tomorrow with Assistant Postmaster General Cran field. Geo. MeCravy, of Laurens, whose appointment is also held up, is not here. But those who are here are his friends. The others are not seeking anything for themselves. They are in Washington solely in the interests of the party and the country. Yet, of course, the post masters are taking this- opportunity to put in a few lieks for the improve ment of their offices. Mr. Huggins as working in flhe interests of the new building at Co lumbia and other improvements. Be fore 'be leaves he will con'fer with a number of congressmen whom he hopes to- interest in the building ap propriation. Mr. Floyd is working to get some needed iniprovements and artensions in the service at Spartan burg, iand Mr. Webster has been put ting in a few licks in favor of an in rease for the new ,building at Orangeburg. SUPERVISOR OF SCHOOLS. New Position on Staff of the State Superintendent of Education. It is the intention of State Super intendent of Education Swearingen to add a State supervisor of schools *to his staff, as soon as he can find a suitable ma.n for the place. He feels tiig pressing need of such an assistant to perform the funetions of a sort of general engineer for the sahool. system of the State, to help the various local school communities to work out various problems of ad ministration and improve the school system generally. 'He has felt the need of making this step for improvement anid ~bet terment for some time, bat since his return from the Little Roc-k meeting of the Conference for Education ii the South he is more thian ever convinced of the need of such a step. Mr. Swearingen says he was very profoundly impressed with the man ner presented to the conference in which Virginia is solving the consoli dation of rural schools proiblem, Vir ginia 's example being particularly in structive to South Carolina on ac count of the similarity between the two States in 'population and social and political traditions, which makes Virginia's rural school proiblems strikingly similar to South Caro lina 's. It was shown that Virginia has reached a nearer ideal solution of this consolidation problem than perhaps any other Southern State, the tendency toward fewer and bet ter schools being conistant. "Of .course,'' said Mr. Swearingen, "the one-room school house is here to stay for some time yet, because it is the ultimate recourse in import ant partieulars, parents naturally preferring their very small children not to be taken in wagons to the con soidated school eight to ten miles away, but the improvement and grad ing of the consolidated schools leave the local school tea.cher with more time to devote to the local needs. We need such conditions in South Caro lina as have been worked out in Vir ginia, and a rural school supervisor could effct thie a he conldao.om -plish many other desirable things in: showing the distriot trustees how to work out their problems." Another paper read at the meeting of the conference which impressed Mr. Swearingen -as being particularly applicable to this State was that dealing with farm life in the rural' schbols, a system that makes the needs of the community a part of the school to help solve the communityi problems and improve its conditions. It is the intention of Mr. Swear ingen to have these two palpers wide ly distributed throughout the State in pamphlet form at as early date as this can be accomplished. ATJGED ASSAULT REPORTED. News of Dastardly Deed Near Aiken. Will Goff Arrested. Aiken, April 12.--News was brought here today by relatives of a 'lady of the Rocky Spring section of this county of a dastardly crime al leged to have been committed Friday about noon. The person referred to is a widow with several children. At the time above mentioned she was sitting on her porch with another woman who lives near by. As they were carrying on a conversation to gether Will Goff rode up on his horse, jumped off and, without any previous warning, began bea;ting the wi6ow with the butt end of a shot gun. The gn made a deep gash across her forehead two or three inches long, and so deep that the bone w.as plainly visible, and other wise wounding and bruising her, so that it is possible that she may die, After the attack upon her Goff turn ed upon the other, knociked her from the piazza and shot at her with hi; gun, but missed ier. Leaving them in this condition, he jumped on his horse and left. Passing by the home of Oscar Ly brand, Goff is said to have called him ouit and told him that he had com mitted a "penitentiary offence," and that, he (Lyibrand) had better go up .to the house and find out about it. Mr. Lybrand sent his wife to the scene, while he went for the doctor. The widow was found in a very se rious oan-dition, and although the oth-. er was painfully wounded, her condi tion was not considered serious. 'Magistrate Smoak was telephoned to, and he had his deputy, Mr. Ken nedy, to make the arrest. Goff was found on his doorstep and offered no resistance. Goff claims that the widow drew a pistol on him as he rode up, for reasons it has ,been impossible to $nd out. On the other hand, the relatives of the lady claim that there were no weapons of any kind in the house. Forced to Leave Home.
