Legare, congressman from this district Wil: have opposition. We think thi; opposition grows out of the fac -ional tight in Charleston. Th.re are two factions, Martin and anti-Martin, and which ever side the Martinites favor will be opposed by the anti-Martin forces. As we understand con ditions in that city not ail of the supporters of Mayor Grace are against Sheriff Mutin, we know of some strong supporters of Gr.Lce who would go to any lergth for Martin. and the same it is with George Legare, his friends are among the supporters of Grace as well as those who op)osed him, therefore, when the opposition to Legare bank up-n the division between Martin and Grace for their support they are assuming more than they car. realize. But aside from thi;, we think it very unfortu nae that there should be oppo sition to Mr. Legare at thistime, be, ause, we are withir reach of a Democratic President with the congress to aid him in putting int > legislation such reforms as tne Democratic party has been ad-ocating . for. these many years, and now that we are about to realize our dream we should ha ce trained men. in congress I so we can be represented by al men of influence with the powers that be. All that Legare has been able to obtain for his dis trict and for South Carolina, has been from his friends in the REpublican party-they had the machinery and it was to them he had to look for results for his cceNtitency, tLat he has suc ceded is due to his excellent ju-gment of men, his concep ties and grasp of situations. and his. loyalty to his people. With a Democratic congress George S. Legare can do more for -the Fi st District than any other ma.n that can be sent there. He is regarded in Washington as "a man who does things." He is not classed with the salary takers but, when there is any so-:nselling to be done among the leaders, George S. Legare's. judgment is sought. The Times has nothing derogatory to say about either of the candlidates who have said they intended to oppose Legare, one of them we1 fee'! quite friendly towards, but we cannot give him support as1 it would not be the patriotic thing to do. We do not believe in swapping horses when near - ing the string. George S. Legare has done much, and has gotten .much from a congress which has not been favorable to under such conditions, we can weil afford to give him an oppor tunity to get more from an ad ministration he has claims upon. PRACTICALLY BY. DEFAULT. As The Times took occasion to say last week the action of clbs, or the county conventions either has any significance in de-.ermining the vote to b e tak~en in the primary in August. It mnatters not who represenit the I pe-ple in the conventions, thle! most they can do is to voice their own and not the sentiment they pretend to represent. WXe Know of clubs that elected men to the'i county convention without ask-! ing or caring whom their choice foi governor will be. some clubs ihat are overwhelming for!N Blaase sent to the convention a K mixed delegation; the Jones' supporters could have gotten a solid delegation had they reali zed the indifference on the other| side, but in their zeal to keep their movements hidden from the' Bleaseites, they did not reckon wul, and shrewdly (?) "beat emr" but after they did "beat'] em" what did they accomplish? i Uidess we are very much mis-1< taken the work of electing can- 1 diiates remains with the people atthe primaries, it is at the pri maries that a few men cant1 gd together in some out of the way corner to put through their ] choice. They must step up like everybody else and vote. True. I there is a small element who cau I be persuaded to permit some one to *'fix the ticket," but these aret few and far between, tile major portion of the voters will not let their "tickets be fixed" they vote according to their own< judgment. Therefore, we say that all of this self adulation, andi all of this vainglory that is being bestowed upon those who "beat 'em" is a case of whistling to keep up courage *with absolutely no effect upon the primary. i pThe Mayor of Cliarieston. has iut the ban on the~ slot machines-i n -that city, and he proposes to irake those who will ioate the t1 law less bold andl more deet The blind tiger element will hve to get off King street and ~ so will the gambling houses. MIayo i Grace has a problem to sol vwbich his predecessors faile acc.. The gambling houses and the biad tigers came down to lhim tromn the Rhett adtrinistrationi Grace succeeds in curtailing~ the0 vic he wil do wonders. DO Nor INSTRUCT. Several conventions have in tructed their delegates to vote .o instruct the South Carolina lelegates in the National con -ention, which to our mind is a nistake. There is no need to ;end a detegation to a National ,onventiox tied up with i nstruc ions to cast the vote of the state for any man. Who knows that will develop by the time ;he convention convenes at Bat imor It is possible the candi late instructed for will not be ivailable ori that the convention xill be shown tihe impossibility f winning in November, there Eore we ho tlie State conven :ion will not permit itself drawn nto the error of instructinZ. Judging fron the press com n :nt, i tins State Wilson is the avorite, but there is a reason or this, Dr. Wilson was the rue-t of the State Press Asso intion at its last meeting, and it some time he lived in Colum )1a,. at the same tirnelthis should lot weigh with those who are seeking for a presidential candi late to win. Suppose a winner s put forward other than the )no our delegation is instructed 'or, must they hold on to their nan and possibly be the cause of oreventing a winner from being nominated? We believe the peooie of this State have very little choice of men. what they want is a nominee who can suc :eed the present administration, if this be Wilson all well and ood, but should it be Under wood, Harmon, Clark or even Bryan South Carolina would Like to have a voice in naming him. Let there be no instruc tions from the State convention. IT MAY BE NAYTHER. Roosevr1t carries Maryland for he Republican president prefer ential, and Champ Clark beat oodrow Wilson for the Demo cracy's choice. The more expres sons that are made in this presi dential preference primaries. the more does it appear to get gloomy for the original favorites. When the ball started it was almost a sure thing that Taft would get the Republican nomination hands down, but Roosevelt became a Ely in his ointment and the Fros pt is he will be "beaten to a frazzle" whether Roosevelt suc eeds in copping the nomination for hiniself or not. The favorite for the Democratic nomination was Woodrow Wilson, the news papers and the colleges played him up fast and strong, but oth ers found the water fine, and jumped in too, very much to the detriment of the gentleman from New Jersey. It is clearly evident that Wilson's chances are wan. ing fast, Champ Clark's friends eem to have put a crimp in the Jersey professor, and at this writing the nomination prize in both parties is a perspiration maker for all of the aspirants, with a strong probability that neither of the prominent ones be ing mentioned will get it, and some fellows who have been sit ing in the shade drinking cool lemonade will have the nomina ion thrust upon them. Several people were killed last Monday in a railroad accident en r-oute from Texas to3 the reunion it Macon, Ga. A locomotive and Lve cars plunged down a steep 3mbankment on the New Orleans ind Northwestern Railroad about i mile south of Eastabuchie, Mississippi. Several counties adopted reso utions favoring the restricted rimary, but we are glad to say hat Clarendon did not do so, on he contrary we do not believe ~here is a man on that delegation ho would favor such an outrage ven had the convention not aken cognizance of the matter >y instructing its delegates to ight the attempt to rob white nen of a right their forefather-s nade sacrifices of blood and reasure to obtain. Clarendon nay divide on questions of men mud on some measures, but when . principle is involved affecting nalienable rights we are a unit. The contest for national dele ates continues to be a cat and nonkey fight in both of the great olitical parties. Woodrow Wil ;on is in the lead for the Demo ratic nomination, and Taft for he Republican nomination, but t is our opinion now that neither Uat or Roosevelt will capture he Republican prize, but should ither of them be nominated the )emocrats will have an easy -ictory. The only hope for teublican success lies in the calers getting together and ffecting a compromise which heir party can agree upon, if is is not done there will be a ~eneral splitting up of the Re ubican forces and the Demo :rats will win ini a walk. There is a third entry for rubernatoria[ honors. d r. L. 3. Connor of Orangeburg has unounced his intention to run or governor, Hie comes from a arge county and he has ha d everal years of legislative ex erience. Just what his po)sitionl s that he will present for a :iaimi to the position we have ot seen, when in the general .ssebly lie was an active memn er and one who~ took an intelli cnt view<>f matters. Now that ie ice i1.0 oen it would not ur:rse us in the least if there re othe-r enties.~ in fact, we myte been~ in formed Of two other ood me who are considering e matt-ar, and till. if they~ de :dc to eniter, ma it knlown in Thew agitation of the railroad mileage propositiOn will result in t h e traveling men having a strong lobby in Columbia next winter to urge a two cent flat rate. The railroads should if they can do so, save the legisla ture from having to take up its time with this kind of legislation. It is our opinion that the rail road commission have full auth ority to handle this contention and they should do so; if the leg islature passes an act providing for a two cent rate-the railroads will no doubt hang the question up in the courts. Let the com mission settle the controversy. The State Supreme Court has heard the argument in the State Bank Examiner case, but as yet it has not yet handed down its decision, in the meantime the baniks have issued their state ments in compliance with the re quest of Mr. Rhame. It does seem that a question of this kind should be simple enough for a court of lawyers to settle with out keeping the country in sus pense long. if the law does not givethe governor power he has as sumed, then it should be made known and if it does then the new appointee should be permitted to discharge the daties of the office. The Charleston politicians got badly mixed up in their conven tion, all because of a desire to control the local machinery. If Charleston could but realize it, the game of politics they play in that city is not only injurious there, but its effects will spread into the rural sections where there is an ambition to be in con trol. We cannot see what either faction has to gain by having a majority on the county executive committee if they propose to have a fair count of the election returns, of course if it is the pur pose to win regardless, then per haps the advantage is with the machine. The spectacle of hav ing two sets of presiding officers at a convention smacks greatly of the rule or ruin policy. The county conventions throughout the State with but few exceptions were evidently gotten together by the still hunt method. Jones' friends will dominate the State convention by a large majority, and they will probably prevent the elec tion of Governor Blease as a delegate to the National conven tion. Should they do this, and we think they will, from that time on there will be no further need to pursue the still hunt method on the part of either fac tion as every voter who intends to vote in the coming primary, will be on the alert. We think factionalism unfortunate at any time, and, had hoped it could have been avoided, but it seems t had to come and each faction will be distrustful of the other, because neither side is asking any quarter. Senator Tillman's letter ask ing for a return to the senate is a pathetic utterance, the once. strong man is feeble now, but his friends throughout the State' will not desert hith. In our opinion, Tillman should retire, his health does not permit an active campaign, not does it per mit active duty in strenuous Washington, at the same time, the people of South Carolina have a great admiration for the man and they are going to re turn him so that he may have his wish "to die in harness." The editor of The Times once upon a time had a falling out wth the Senator on state matters, but notwithstanding this, he has al ways supported Tillman every time he presented himself to the people and he will support him now for the good he has done as a national figure.

Drug Store ~ WV. E. Brown & Co.) Congressional Plagiarism. The custom of "lifting" a brother congressman's bills without sanction or permission has resulted in a warm discussion concerning the ethics of legislation. In newspaper work, novel writing or any other strenuous em ployment the appropriation or use of another man's words or ideas entitles im to credit and legal protection. Not so, however, in the legislative hopper. If one man fails to have a resolution or bill passed another takes it up, transferring such. paragraphs and clauses or ideas as he wishes, without credit, and labeling the result with his name in such a way as to secure full and undisputed possession. The only question considered is, "Will it pass?" for if it does not pass It represents only so much white paper mnugly tucked away in pigeonholes until the advent of the next legislator whose inclination runs to fathering bills. The pigeonholes and crypt at the capitol are filled with documents suggestive of the faded hopes of many in enthusiastic congressmag whose bill failed to "get by" and is ready for the-appropriation of another ambitious egislator.-National Magazine. Butter From Birds. A century ago buitter birds were nilked to beat the band by the natives >f the northern part of South Amerien. [n midsummer the Indians went into lhe great caverns where these strange birds had builded, and with long poles 'he nests were broken and destroyed, omething like the way the Yankee joys in barns used to break up the iomes of mud daubers and barn swal ows. Butter birds builded nests in he tops of the caverns in niches and loles worn ages ago by water. A poke r two with a pole and the nest of gray lay looking like a big cheese came alling down, the young birds scatter ng on the floor of the cavern. The reat lumps of fat between legs and inder the tail of the nestlings were ora from them and piled into earthen >ots and melted down into bird butter. rhe butter bird is about as large as a hicken and so sweet is the bird butter :at it keeps a year or so without turn ng rancid. It is oily. clear and with )ut smell.-New York Press. Decay of Diplomacy. Diplomacy is not a career which en ourages the growth of a strong per onality. The diplomatist is necessa -ily the tool of other men. Wandering rom capital to capital, he is the mouth iece of successive ministers, to whose livergent policies he must adapt him ;elf with the good grace that leads to swift promotion. If he develops decid ,d views of his own or allows himself :o cultivate embarrassing sympathies ic is apt to be marked as a 64gerous Lnd uncomfortable subordinate, for 'hom there will presently yawn some )scure and distant hole in a South .merican legation. The great ambas ;dors lived in the days when no tele ;raph had yet been invenited to make Jureaucracy omnipresent. It wants )nly some further perfection of the ong distance telephone to abolish the iplomatist altogether.-London Athe xaeum. Gems of Oratory. Here are some gems of oratory from he Austrian parliament: "I have already said all I wish to ay and therefore willingly withdraw t1 I might still say." "I cannot longer keep silent without ;aying some words." "Locomotive engineers stand with me foot .in crime and with the other ;naw the rags of hunger." "A funeral procession always has iomething mournful about it, especial y when the decedent was a human >eing." "If I am a parliamentary deputy I tm still human." Free Freight. Every railway carries more or less reight for its own use, and therefore 4 vithout pay, and in some countries oth frei;h t and passengers are occa ionally carried free on governmental r other accoun As such gratuitous ervice does not L .rease the monetary 'ceipts, it is ordinarily omitted from he companies' earnings. The term 'revclue train miles per mile of line" 4 ndiates the train density of trains 4 hat have add'ed to the earnings.--New Fork Times.
