The recent interviews relating to the liquor question in this State which have appeared it: Columbia newspapers would in dicate that the matter of liquoi control is as much unsettled now as it was before the passage of the Carey-Cothran law, and we agree with the Representative from Anderson, when he con tends that it would be unfair now for the Prohibition element to join with the defeated State dispensaryites to wipe out the county dispensaries. The Carey Cothran law could not have been enacted without the aid of the prohibition element. and now that they aided in securing a law that wili give the people the choice, in their respective counties to say whether or not liquor can be sold, should be enough for the present, at least until the new liquor regulation has been sufficiently tested tc ascertain whether in its practi cal operation, it is any better for the public good than the old law. It is our judgment the, prohi bitionists will make a mistake if they form an alliance with the former State dispensaryites, they may succeed in securing the repeal of the Carey-Cothran Act, and the enactment of a State prohibition law, but it c'an only be a temporary suc ceess, and when the pendulum swings the other way, as it will do when a State prohibition law is found impracticable, then con ditions will be worse than they have ever been. Under the present law those counties having a healthy pro hitition sentiment can vote out the dispensaries if they choose, and be responsible for the en forcment of the law, and no ob jection is raised, but when it comes to forcing counties that have no orohibitiori sentiment, tc be deprived of the revenue that comes from the liquor traffic there is objection, because those people are made to submit to the traffic in liquor and its results, and the revenue goes elsewhere In our judgment the liquoi regulation laws in this State are good enough, and we would ad vise to let well enough alone. EXONERATED. The appointment of Capt. Johr G. Capers to the office of coim missioner of internal revenue a1 Washington is gratifying to hu friends, regardless of party: who have always felt the in justice done trie man. .when his enemies succeeded in preventing his reappointment to the office oJ district attorney, an office he filled with exceptional ability. The office of commissioner oJ internal revenue is one of the most important at the disposal of the President. it not only re quires an able lawyer, but a careful business man, and the selection of Capers for this im portant trust is a very high com pliment, as it carries with it the acknowledgment of his higi character and splendid ability. The appointment is only tern porary, as we understand it, bui the fact of his being selected as the head of su-ch an importan1 branch of the government where millions of dollars are involved places him when he retires, in the foremost rank among those of his profession, and where his services will be in demand by the large interests having busi ness with the r-evenue depart ment. The horrible story told by Harry Orchard in the trial oj W. D. BHaywood makes him-a fi1 subject for Judge Lynch,whethe2 it is true or not, any man whC can confess to having murdered so many people has no right tc be treated as other men. On the death of Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama, whc died in Washington last night, one of the most notable figures that.- ever graced the United States Senate was removed. He served the State of Alabama in the Senate for thirty years and was regarded as one of the lead ers in that body. As a debater of great questions he had no su perior, and few equals. Tihe members of tile South Carolmna Press Association will be at the Isle of Palms the rest of this week, and those ill charge of the entertaining feature are going to give the craft -a good time. When the newspaper folks gets together away from home, there is no suspicion of poverty, for everybody is ricb and happy as long as free trans. portation and reduced rates hold out. There is no place on eatrtl: better suited for a jolly good time than the Isle of Palms, and if we had our way it would be the permanent meeting place, and the association would have Fitz Hugh McMaster, circula tion manager of the Columbia State sailed yesterday from New York for Europe. How did he manage to get the transportation ? Never mind. we allwish him a safe and a pleasant journey. We cannot go to Europe. but we can go to the Isle of Palms. The News and Courier has !!(riven out an assignment for its 'Parliment of the Press." and placed THE TIES editor in the embarassing position of express ing his opinion of the Columbia ba'seball team. This is not fair. because THE TDI.ES editor goes to Columbia occasionally and his opinion may invite the ire of some of the capitol city fans. We think Charleston had better have a care. Columbia has changed its management, and started off last Monday i- tak ing one from Savannah, while Charleston on the same day had to submit to a "shut-out" from Augnsta. and as a result had to step back to allow Macon to ad vance. If "Bugs" Raymond lingers long in Chicago, when he returns to the city he will find his team struggling with Savannah for the celler chain pionship. We know how these things turn out from last year's experience with players recom mended to us as 'cracker-jacks. The general assembly of South Carolina is largely made up of the legal profession. and now since the decision of a court against the constitutionality of the agricultural labor contract law: it would be well for some of the lawyers to get together and devise a bill to be enacted into law that will afford protection to employers of labor. We do not think the declaring unconstitu tional the present law will create the confusion in labor as was at firstsupposed, and one reason for it is, that on account of the many losses last year from the breach of these contracts the farmers have been more careful in their advances, and have de clined to permit the triffling class to get ahead of their wages, with the result, that the laborer not being overwhelmed in debt had nothing to induce him to de sert his employer. There is no doubt of the necessity of a law to rotect labor, but it should not be one-sided.- The employee as well as the employer should be equally protected, and if out of the -minds of some of our legis lators there can be evolved a labor contract law that will be upheld by the courts, a great service will be rendered. President Roosevelt was the speaker at Jamestown last Mon day. "Georgia Day." and he de livered his address in the Geor gia State building, which is a reproduction, or-areplica of the home of the President's grand father on his )nother's side. The President spoke feelingly of the compliment paid him by the State of Georgia, and then pro ceeded to recite the splendid history of that State. He said "I ala proud, indeed, of my Georgian ancestry, and of the fact that my grandfather's grandfathier, Archibald Bulloch, ias the first governor." The entire speech was a magnificient deliverence of patriotic utter ances and a thorough knowledge of the country's progress. We iook to see some of our Southern newspapers make ad verse criticism of.the President's declarations of pride in his Southern ancestry and throw up to him some of his political ap. pointments and other oificial acts. If president Roosevelt escapes thx criticism of South ern pens on this occasion it will be the first time in our recollec tion. His address touched upon the problems of the day, and he was very explicit in his views on economic and social questions. The material progress of the country in the last quarter of a century. He congratulated the people of the South in their efforts to stamp out the evil of child labor in the factories, and their work along educational lines, immigration and other topics. Washington Setter. Washington, June. --If the opinion of leading democrats dropping into Washing from time to time count for anything a plank demanding the initiative and referendum will not be in corporated in the next platform of the national democracy. The proposition to insert such a plank in the platform is advo cated only by those who former ly aifiliated with the Populist party. No genuine democrat, whether from the South, North. East or West, has yet endorsed his plan, and it can be safely said that the party will not be menaced by-such an issue in the next presidential election. The strongest protests against the incorporation of such a plank in the democratic plat form have come from the South. Southern democrats realize the danger of such a form of gov ernment more fully than those of any other section, and as the convention will be controlled by the representatives of that sec tion, it can be asserted in all conidnce that the platform will be mitius that piece of Pop ulistic timber. Southern democrats point out that had initiative and referen dum prevailed in 1891. when the imquitous Force Bill was being considered by congress, theC South would not today be enjoy ing the blessings of~ white su prem acy. The i-epubliican party, which controlled congress at the for the negro rote, would have for political reasons. if for no other. submitted the question to the people, and the North being the stronger in votes, the same would have been approved at the polls, and Federal bayonets would be in the South today to see that the negro be not denied the privilege of the ballot. It is also claimed that should initiative and referendum pre vail. congress, upon the petition of fifteen per cent. of the male citizens of the country, would be compelled to initiate and re for to the people for adoption any law that might appeal to tie whims and fancies of the pe titioner. ,.%or example, should the negroes of the country Pe. tition congress to initiate a law to reduce representation of the Southern states in congress be cause of the disfranchisement of the negro, that body would be compelled to refer such a law to the people for apprOval. and there would be little doubt of its adoption, as the repubiican voters of the North and West are always ready to seize an op portunity to deal the South a deadly blow. If the sentiment today is an indication of democratic tenden ev. the paramount plank in the n'ext democratic platform will be tariff revision. The platform will contain no declaration ob noxious to the views of any good democrat: it will be framed along lines to meet the views of all factions of the party. Initiative and referendum. government ownership of railroads. and oth er Populistic items will be cast aside. The platform will be an old time democratic expression of the true democratic faith, and the party once more united, as it would be under such a condi tior, would march to one more great and glorious victory.

It couldn't have been worse, as the Pinewood team Introduced new stunts and farmers of all shapes. Trhe game opened very pretty by the man ager of -the S. H. S. team slip ping a tiver into the umpire's paw. The next mishap that was not down to take place on the grounds was the girl who wore the yellow dress yelling to the scorer. "say Scotty do you love your oosie-toosie? rememnber what you promised under the shade of the old piazzat." The chap with the bird-cage over his head held his fingers like lightening-rods on a barn, while the third baseman wvas turning forward and back ward summersaults and occasionally would do a flip flap. When the ball would get start ed it would be hard to tell when it would stop, and several timnes it took ten to fifteen minutes and two policemen to stop thenr-from throwing the ball around so It appeared as if the team thought the first baseman was standing on a ten-foot step ladder and had nets fastened around him. The pitcher was in tip-top condition, he threw all kinds of balls, he could down a high ball while the catcher went around with an alarm clock waking up the base men. The second baseman probed a few when they came his way. As this was his tirst appearance on this diamond, he soon realized he was on an unpolished one, and for the short-stop. it would have been better if he could not have stopped shorter than San tee swamp. He was the star performer, and was the only player that got a boquet, and it was sent over from the grand stand. He was at his best dur ing the game, he got tired play. ing facing home plate and tried to get in the game by facing third baseman and using his side for a back-stop, and when the game was finished he was play ing between second and third base, facing the right fielder and was trying to stand erect and tuck his toes without bend ing his knees. At the finishing he was put in a ditch to tr-y and catch sonme shoats and he was so bow-legged until every one got away. The center-fielder's lower limbs was named after the Cres ent restaurant in Coinumbia. in fact, he was so bow-legged when he walked his knees would go in to his vest pockets. The other two fielders furnished the scorer who was making dates for the entertainment. Maj. H. B. Richar-dsoni came down on the first to spend the summer at his "Cedarhur-st" Mr. Ransom Richardson came down from Sumter last week to spend a short vacation at home. Miss Susan H. Richardson ar rived home last Wednesday from Richmond, wher-e she attended the reunion as a sponsor for a Columbia camp. Mr. W. R. Jenkinson came into possession of a bicycle on last Saturday in a: peculiar manner, about noon a strange colored man rode a very good looking wheel into town, coming from towards Sumter, and was offer a buyer. After a few minutes sojourn here he left for Rimini. After he had gotten about half a mile out of town, a man heard of the bicycle being offered for sale so cheap, got Mr. Jenkinson to ride down the railroad and see if he could overtake the bicycle rider. about three miles from town Mr. Jeukinson got close enough to the negro for him to recognize seeing him at Pine wood with a badge on. As soon as the negro saw Mr. Jenkinson was in hot pursuit of him, he Iapplied his emergency brake, and from what he did, he must have seen the local ball team play ball, for he went up in the air leaving the wheel in the rail (rad fite i and putting several acres of land between himself and Mr. Jenkinson. he contribu ted that heart-touching ballad entitled, "Warden Brush Those Locks Away: I Yearn for Liber tr."
