CONDITIONS CHANGING, The politicians who are now scrambling for the shoes of the dead Collector of the Port of Charleston, and the United States Marshal, are giving the President a great deal of harrowing annoy ance these days. President Roose velt has had some tough pro positions to contend with, and since the race question has been piled upon him he finds that he cannot brush it aside without doing his party a great injury. So far as this State is concerned it would matter not whether the brother in black was recognized, but in the large doubtful states, The negro vote is a factor, and the President cannot give the colored applicants for official favor the cold shoulder. In the State of Ohio and other West ern States, the negro vote is a large factor, and both parties keep a sharp look-out for it. If the Republicans fails to give the negroreognition, the Democrats make-olitical capital of it,. and ssan inducement to capture that vote they make promises of recognition. In our opinion, Roosevelt is not inclined to en courage the negro in politics but he is so situated that he must do something for him, or take the chances of letting the Democrats in the West capture the politi cal prize. We have about reached the conclusion that we of the South are not acting with wisdom when we contend to prevent our re presentation being cut down; we believe, were congress to re duce the representation in the South, the elimination of the negro vote would follow and two white parties would result, putting the Southern States on an equal footing with the States of the North, East, and West: all sectional lines would be wiped out, and a healthy political con dition would come, but as long as the negro is to be considered, matters not how insignificantly there will always be a solid south arrayed against a solid north, and the south will always be held back. It is plain to see, that the south only has a voice in the political conventions, which is nothing more nor less than the politician's field: what. we need, is a voice in the form ing of the governmen11l policies of the country where the peo ple as well as the politicians can be benefitted. What good is there to the people, if we are not permitted to have a hand in the shaping of policies? The south is a powerful factor in a political convention, and it furn ishishes a large vote, but it does not help the people of the south, if we could shal5e our course so that the solid north would divide we then might get something out of it; this however, will not come as long as we continue in our present course. The negro is practically out of our political calculations here; in the north ne ~is not, he is a strong factor there, because he is needed to overcome the vast Democratic southern majority. The cutting down of our representation would change this, and it would in our opinion, be but temporary, because as soon as both North and South become divided, new alliances would be formed upon pending issues, and then the South would win friends at the North whose interests would be identical with ours, and the South's just r ep resen tation would be returned and held for all time. When Senator Tillman was seeking new alliances in the West, he was on the right track, but unfortunately he did get the proper element. Those who took to his ideas were made up of the element imbued with all sorts of wild theories, which did not appeal to the business mind-it was a revolutionary element, and business men were frightened away. A change is coming, a close observer of po litical events must see it, and the only question is, will the people of the South act wisely and take advantage of the op portunity, or will they cling to ideas that are every day proving detrimental to their interests? STEP UP GENTLEMEN. The test case brought by the medical students of last year's class, has been decided by the supreme court against the stu dents, and the effect of that de cision, makes it unlawful for anybody to practice medicine in this State who, after the Act was passed, did not take a four year course in a reputable medi cal college. All but one of the class of last year refused to go before the State board for exam ation, and to test the matter a young doctor was indicted in the county of Marlboro, his case was appealed to the supreme court of the State, which makes it fin al, and if the young gentlemen who grauated from the South Carolina Medical College, ex pect to practice medicine in this State lawfully they will have to do now. that which they should have done at first. go before the State board and stand the exam ination. We fought the passage of the Act excusing four year graduates from going before the State board, and did so, believ ing we were doing right, noth ing has transpired since to con vince us to the contrary, and the only way the presant Act could possibly get through the Senate, was the representations of the student-body, making it appear that at their request the bill was so worded that the senior class of that year would not be its beneficiaries; we suspected them then, and continued our fight against the bill, not because we had no faith in the representa tions made, but solely upon the principle that we were opposed to turning loose young men to practice medicine and experiment with human life, without first having been put through a legal test, aside from the test required at the college; after a hard fight, and personal pleas made to the Senators, the bill passed by the presiding officer casting a de ciding vote, and as soon as the Act was approved by the Gov ernor, the very class professing they were not to be benefitted, immediately made the claim that they were not required to go be fore the State board, and all but one of them refused, and have been unlawfully practicing med icine in this State ever since. Now since the highest legal tri bunal in the State has settled the matter, and removed the doubt, we presume the graduates of that year will apply for exam ination, if they do not, they will be running risk of prosecution, and the people will loose faith in their ability as doctors. We hope if there are any of the class in this county, they will at once secure the necessary certificate from the State board. The death - of ex-speaker Thomas B. Reed removes from public observation one of the greatest parlimentarians this country has ever produced. Mr. Reed ruled the lower House of Congress with an iron hand, and his decisions have set the pace for all future presiding officers. Notwithstanding the fact that he was a partisan Republican, the Democratic members had a wonderful admiration for the man and his magnificient ability. We are now approaching the last mile stone in the year 1902 with every indication that the coming new year will start off with bright prospects. The merchants are doing a fine trade, and the farming element has planted largely their early grain, so if the seasons continuelfavor able there will be less drafts made upon the West for cereals and the vast amount of money formerly sent out of the country will remain at home for the mak ing of another crop, and the de velopment of our own lands. It is with greati gratification we can state that many of our far mers are taking time by the forelock and are making their arrangements for fertilizers, pay ing cash, and thereby saving the profits of time-dealers, All of these things tend to the en couragement of adding an im petus to all branches of business: as the farmer prospers every avocation in life prospers also. The merchant is encouraged to force forward his business and the developement of the country is extended all along the line. The Lillywhites didn't got a Crum of comfort.

The trust Lion is not half as dangerous a beast as the treach erous anarchistic Tiger. The "Watchdog of the Treas ur" will after this session limit the baying of the jackals. The explanation department of the republican party got a start of the legislative department. The President will now de vote himself to the business of rounding up the colored voters of the South. Senator Fr-ye says there will he no tariff revision and Mr. Hanna announces his opposition to trust legislation. Senator Pr-itchard and his Lillywhite party seem to have been sacrificed to the exigencies of political expediency. As predicted the republican leaders are beginning to explain why the party promises will not be fulfilled at this session. A Michigan court has allowed alimony to a husband in a di vorce case.

When you wake up with a bad taste in your mouth, go at once tc The R. 1B. Lorvea drug store and gel a free sample of Chamberlain's Stom ach and Liver Tablets. One or twc doses will make you well. They alsC cure bi'iousness, sick headache anc constipation. Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes im possible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest. The time to treat consump tion is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't. Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is consump tion you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat ment you will win. Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment. -- We will send you __a little of the Emul sion free. lBe sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrap>erof every bottle of Emulision you buy. -SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl St., N.
