A dispatch from Washington in todays News & Courier, say Rumors have been flying thick and fast here for the past few davs that John G Capers com missioner of revenue, might be called upon by President Taft shortly to hand in his registra tion." Just why these rumors are sent out we do not know, unless it is for the purpose of causing Mr. Capers annoyance,in the in terest of some aspirant for the position. The record of Mr. Ca pers as commissioner is first class, and as a Republican mnst have this place, we would rather see him hold it than any one in that party. Although John Capers has been censured for joining the re publican party, and often times maligned and abused, he has been a friend to his State, and where ever it was possible, he exercised his influence in the interests of the white people. They now charge that he put Crum up tc holding on to the collectorship, which he denies. If Capers had influence to make Crum hold on to that office. who caused Crum to resign? We think President Taft will please more people in South Car olina by the reappointment ol Capers than he will, if he grati fies the prejudicies of a few men in the city of Charleston, who are more responsible for Crum's ap pointment to the collectorship than was Capers. We imagine the same crowd that caused Pres ident Roosevelt to remove Capers from the District Attorney's of fice by misleading the president. are working the same tactics with the new president. The animus against Capers is, mainly, that Caoers had influence at Washing ton, and would not use it in the interests of a certain few in Char leston. We hope President Taft will pay no attention to these po litica] parasites. OUR INEW ?RESIDENT. William Howard Taft of Ohio, - took the oath of office last Thurs. day as president of the United States. His address was a plain -clear-cut utterance, one that must '. appeal to the intelligence of the American people, as free fromr partisan heat, and bristling all the way through with comnmor sense. We predict foi :he new president a smooth administra tion. His predecessor has blazed the way through the rough pas sages, and now with steady hand at the helm the President will guide the ship of 'State. What Mr. Taft said on the negro prob lem gives encduragement to the people of tbe South, and if he adheres to the policy, which we have no doubt he-will, there will be no ground for complaint or this score, and it will ultimately result in building up a white re publican party in the South. The address sets forth the policies ol the administration, and deals with every phiase of the govern ment as it is today with frank ness. Let us all join in the hope that under the new administra tion, there will be no North, South, East or West. but one grand American government. THE LIQUOR FIGHT. From now on the readers of the daily newspapers will be punish ed with editorials and communi cations on the liquor question. We regard it fortunate that the dry counties have been relieved of this agitation. The recent ac tion of the legislature did not place all of the counties of the state upon equal footing, which in our jndgment was not just, but at the same time we are gr-atified tnat justice was not considered for once. The result of the con test in August will be the plac ing of at least fifteen more coun ties in tne "dry" colu~mn, not that these counties are ready for pro hibition, but the church influence will be too strong to overcome. Those who favor the i-etention of the dispensaries, as a rule, are men who feel they can ill atford -;o go counter to the wishes of the church org-anizations, and while they will personally vote their convictions, they will not resist the activity of the Prohibi tion forces. The result of the school bond election is another evidence of faith in the future of Manning. If we lack in editorial matter this week, attribute it to that tired feeling which come~s with sprimg.____ The nomination of .J. E. Wil son, colored, post master at Fior ence for the past sixteen years has been rejected by the United States Senate. President Taft has called an extra session of congress to con vene on the 15th of this month. This session will probable con tinue until Jne. We stick to the prediction that 15 out of 21 counties in the State ir will go dry in August. We also CE believe Charleston will be found r< in the dry column. al a: The gentlemen who have been ' touring South Carolina in the in Y terest of liquor houses seem to 1. have been hit harder than they thought, and are now keeping shy of the State. 11 The public priter has Com menced the sending out the ad vanced sheets for the Senate a Journal. The Acts will be ready for distribution earlier this year C than usual. a n President Taft will receive a salary of -75.000 a year. The job of being President of these Un ted States is a game worth the candle after all, unless perchance the president's body is made a target of by some crank. C The Mississippi grand lodge v of Masons has severed relations I with the New Jersey grand lodge. because the latter has ad- j mitted negroes to membership. t It is expected that all of the a Southren grand lodges will take C similar action. The trial of the Coopers for the s murdering of ex-Senator Car- e mack will probably end tomorrow : with an acquittal of the accused. n If Carmack was not the victim of t a cold blooded conspiracy to mur- t der, then the hangman's knot i never has been placed upon the t neck of a murderer. The jury I sitting in judgment on the case, N is said to be made up of an ig- c norant class of people, and most E of them the political partisans of c the Coopers, but notwithstanding this disadvantage, the prosecu tion has labored hard to secure the testimony which will convict the Coopers before the world. even if the jurors should acquit. The Charleston legislative del egation is having a Th1arrot and t Monkey time trying to elect a t dispensary board of control, re- , sulting in the withdrawal of z three members from the meeting. r The trouble appears to grow out i of the report made by State Au- 1 ditor West, who found that the r board had paid more for beer I than the concerns brcught from, had sold to other dispensaries. A E resolution was offered to the ef fect that the election of a board s of control be deferred until an i investigation could be made, this I was voted down, whereupon a three of the delegation withdrew. E Charleston's delegation seldom t have harmony. The Columbia Record of Mon- I day, makes the point that al- 3 though Hon. 0. B. Martin in his ! campaign for the United States 1 senate, criticized the Hon. R. Goodwin Rhett as Mayor of Charleston, because he asisted ~ in the entertainment of Judge t Taft. when that distinguished ~ gentleman visited Charleston. I Mr. Martin has since accepted aC lucatve appointment under ~ Pr-esiden t Taft's administration. Martin like all other politicians. ~ in his criticism of Rhett was only ~ endeavoring to appeal to the pre ' judices of the unthinking, for ~ the purpose of enticing 'votes to 1 himself. In accepting a position t under the Taft administration Mr. Martin will, we have no doubt. be able to be of good ser- C vice to the people of this State. Senator Tillman disappointed e a good many of his admirers when he failed to make good his r promise to lambaste Roosevelt before he retired from' the presi- It dency. Tillman's answer to Roose veit's charge of inconsistency! was not as complete and satis-~ factory to the country at large'1 as it was to a large portion of the Senator's home constituency, f and when lhe promised to come again and show the President ~ 0 up, there was always an anxious moment watching for the lower regions to break loose, and a .v scintilation of sparks. But the e Roosevelt concluded his work in the white house, while Till- 5 man kept a discreet and dignifiedv silence. Perhaps 'twas better t thus. Theodore Roosevelt is now a private citizen of these United i States. while in office he was the ji storm center in this American S government. He gave to the peo- t pie of the United States an ad. '1 ministration which will go down d in history as one of the most ac- 9 tive they have ever had, and al- ~ though lie has been the object of much adverse criticism, he has also received the plaudits of a c< vast majority. There is one thing ~ sure. Theodore Roosevelt was president, and dio. things. He hasi now retired to private life, but he Y has left his iinpress upon this country and history will give him o, a prominent place for future gen - ai erations to study. That he has ir made some mistakes is conceded by all, but that he is honest, fear less, and accomplished much good must be admitted. He is compar-i atively young and will remain an inluential factor in Americanb poltics, even if he does not again p hold public office.I STAT E UO 0111. CITY oF ToLEDO. LteAs CorCs-rY. FRANKi J.

The United States district.court Missouri has decided the two nt passenger fare on the rail )ads in that State is unreason >1e and therefore confiscatory, id invalid. Several States have ndered sinalar decisions. and ,t such legislation is continual attempted in this State. The indications are that the epresentatives from the South ill ie il closer touch with the resident than they have been in ,any years. President Taft vill ppoint Republicans to office here suitable men of that party in be found, but even in these ppointments. none will be ob oxious to the Representatives. 'he policy adopted by President 'aft will make for him a host of :iends in the South. and it re ains to be seen what it will do )r his party in the way of votes. There are some of the States in ae Southern column, notably eorgia. Tennessee. and North arolina, which it is surmised ili give their electral vote to the epublican party. There is a, rowing sentiment in the States amed in favor of shaking off what bey characterize a "dead party' nd with this feeling is a spirit f unrest, on account of local auses. In Tennessee the general as embly went direct against the xpressed wish of Democratic >arty on the liquor question, nd this was accomplished rough a combination between he Prohibitionists and the Re iublicans. The result being a ,reaking up of the Democratic arty lines in that State, and citb strong Republican leaders, omposed of the best men in the tate, Tennessee bids fair to be ome Republican. The editor of this newspaper, as ; well known. is no Prohibition 5t. but the people of Clarendon ave declared for Prohibition, by decisive majority, therefore it ecomes his duty, as well as the .uty of all law abiding citizens, o frown down any violation of he law. In order that the law ill be enforced there must be a entiment in favor of its enforce ent, that sentiment should not le confined to the arrest of friend ?ss negroes, but it should and iust cover all violators of the w. be they white or black. If there are white men engag d in the illicit sale of liquor, in .ict them, and the punishment of uch will aid largely in the build og up a sentiment in favor of the niw, but if white men are to be lowed to sell liquor unmolest d, the preaching of the minis ers and the work of the temper ,ace workers will be for naught. We have grave donubts of pro ibition being a success, because r-e are yet to be convinced there s the proper sentiment behind t, but should we be mistaken in lis, and we sincerely hope we .r then those who favor prohi ition must not close their eyes o the violation of the law, be ause, perchance, the violator appens to be a neighbor, and is therwise a good citizen and riend. Inasmuch as Clarendon is under ,prohibition law, we are anxious o see it have a fair trial, if it is .success, or even a comparative uccess, we will gladly acknow edge our error, and in the mean-, ine will lend our influence to nake it a success. . B. Martin in Charge of Boys' Department of Demonstration Work. Friends of former State Superintend nt of Education 0. B. Miartin will be leased to know that he has been ap onted supervisor of the boys' depart ent of the government demonstration ~ork for the South. Hie will be associa ed with Dr. Seaman A.

Mr. Martin will o anize agricultural work among the oys and through the schools and school -Ficers. The plan of the work is some 'at as follows: Boys between the ages of 10 and 21 ears will be invited andi urged to join Larn or cotton clubs in their localities. very boy who joins will be expected to ~.cure from his father one acre of land' r his own special attention and culti ation. The names of the members of aese clubs will be sent by the teachers ythe county superintendents of educa on, who will forward them to the Uni d States department of agriculture. he department will furnish each boy ih the best seed for planting his acre. addition he will receive a letter of istruction once a month, giving the 2ggestions and ideas of Dr. Knapp as >the best methods of preparation, lanting, fertilizing, cultivation, etc. he State and county agtents of the farm amonstration work will also cooperate inspecting the boys' farms ano mack ig suggestions. The bulletin of the de irtment of agriculture will be sent tc tch boy in his own name. Public-stirited business men in each unty where the work is undertaken ill be ask-ed to make contributions, sc lat prizes may be offered to the boys ho may make the greatest success. Prizes will be offered for the greatest eld of corn and cotton and also fox- the st ears of corn and for the best stalkr cotton. These prizes will consist not 15l of cash. but of useful and desirable -tiles of merchandise. such as farrr plements, watches, bats, etc. t is planned to have all members o& .e local clubs come together occasion i in a county club. At these meet s the farmz demonstration agents. embers of faculties of agr-icultural col-! ges and experts from Washington wil K Sinvited to be present and aid in thr struction and w.ork. This .vill be es >cially emphasized at a meeting in the 11, when the prizes will be awarde~d. ese gentlemen will not only judge e exhibits which will be brought to ~ther at the court house. but they wil~l struct the boys in seed selection, corrn- 1 dging and other such important an-1i terestmng matters. Mr. M1artin said yester-day that he :ud hope to organize only a few coun s in each State this vear., hut that he lieved the wor-k would be extendedl ry rapidly next sear. i1 As is well known.

There - ire great possibilities and benefits to be leri-ed from tbis latest move of this bu reau of agriculture. I shall undertake thc work of securing several prizes to be otlered along this line. The time is ;hort now, and what is to be done must be -one quickly. Go to work to raise the biggest and best crop possible on vou- acre, and the prize part can be ar ran;.red later.

All this can be published E from time to time, and as the work prog resses more of the details can be attend- g ed to. In accepting this offer for Clarendon I have done so because I see and real- J ize many of the advantages to be gained by the plan and I am extremely anxious , that %%e shall make a good showing at the proper time. T again appeal to the t teachers, the parents and others who I are or may become interested in this a movement to see that this article is reE d by the boys.

Seaator Smith Much Gratified by the Recep tion Accorded Him by Brother Sesators. Florence, March 7.-Special: Senator E. D. Smith has returned from Wash ir gton, where he took the oath of office on Tuesday. Mr. Smith says that the office of Sen a.or is a very mueb bigger thing than h B had any idea it was, and that his new d gnities rather appalled him. His only h pe is for strength to measure up to the requirements of the position. He vas very much gratified by the recep tion accorded him while there, and the courtesy of Senators Tillman and Gary, who were esoecially kind. He attended t'ie extra session of Congress which con- I firmed the nominations for the Cabinet. 1'e heard several fine speeches and was particuiarly impressed with the intel lctual power of Senator Bailey, of Texas, whom he regards as the intel 1-ctual giant of the Senate. He was impressed also with the spirit of hopefulness that was in the air, not only for the South, but for the whole nation. It promises a new era of under-. standing in politics which, in the future, will be controlled by the needs of the whole people rather than along section al lines. There was evidenced a spirit of fair dealing to be given to all parties who show a spirit off and are working for the upbuilding of the country. He thinks that Taft has thrown a I bouquet on the crare of the 12egro inl politics, and that was all that was meant by what he bad to say in his inaugural address. He was particularly struck by the statement that wvas made that be cause the fifteenth amendment was now on the books, it had to be observed and would not be repealedl, but that were an attempt to be inmde now to put such an amendment on the books lie doubted that it could be dlone. In the matter of the Florence postof- 1 fice, Senator Smith said that the new 1 man would be appointed at, the extra session, and that no titie would be lost. He will find out as soon as he goes back just what can be done; he wants to have the appointment made without hitch or hindrance, which is so probable in pol ities. He will learn exactly how the matter lies as soon as he getls back, and will ad vise the people of Florence fully as soon as he can catch up the lines. One thing ~ they mar rest assured of, and that is that the postoflice will soon be in the hands of a white mc.n. What complica tions will enter into the matter he can not say, but he hopes that none will arise serious enough to cause the situa tion to remain unchanged, he will not permit such a condition to arise if pos sible. HOME MISSIONS. MANNING AUXILIARYt The comming of the foreigner for lib-e erty. and better wages has brought re-: sponsi bility and onportunity to all forces -1, that work for national righteousness. t To the church which must shape the I standards of morality and righteous- s ness, they bring peculiar obligation and world-wide opportunity. For self-pres- I ervation we must "set Christ in the t midst" of these our brethren, and make 13 our Christianity co-.int for purity, right- h eousness and holiness. God has brought I them to us to enjoy the privileges of our I civilization, and as commissioner c Watchorn says. he is going to perform Ia a mirocle with the human race, and do it right where a man is free and inde penent, and where each can wvork out his or her own destiny. Tbe United States is the world's ex 3mplar, and by it the world must ulti nately be led to a higher plane of exis :nce. What~ is the Woman's Home Mission K ;ociety doing to help along this respon vork? Seven schools are maintained for the >urpose of reaching and helping these eonle. Earnest effort is made for the is ocial, educational and religious eleva- st ion of the Cubans in schools at Tampa, ga ~bu City and Key West, Fla. Night at chools also reach the men and boys who It Lre at work during tha day. b On the Paciliic Coast homes and mn chools for Japanese and Koreans also ki ~ive opportunity to Christianize. A JTap- ce nese church has been organized at Al- P neda and two for Koreans at San Fran- in isco and Sacramento. At Galveston the Nesley House furnishes settlement priv- er leges for neighbors, and the ministry- gi >f three trained workers reaches out to t neoming aliens. At New Orleans and ki lousten the deaconesses engaged by our of lit Mission Boards are coming in wi riendly touch with these st-angers. As as e are able to command trained Chris- ai ion women, this work with foreigners tb ill be pushed. Selected.
