Perhaps never in the history of the Methodist Church of Dillon has there been a more enjoyable occasion than that of Thursday afternoon last, when the members of the Home and Foreign Mission Societies entertained in honor of of the ladies of the church. From four to six o'clock hostesses and guests mingled in pleasant intercourse, strains of sweet music all the while lending their charm to the pleasure of the afternoon. The guests were graciously welcomed by Mesdames L. C. Braddy, P. B. Sellers, W. C. Kirkland and *A. .1. Stokes, who were ably assisted by the other members of the societies in making the occasion one of pleasure to an. Refreshments of coffee, chocolate and cake were daintily served in the Sunday School room, made attractive bv the beauty and perfume of many lovely violets. A delightful lack of formality characterized the whole affair, and it is earnestly hoped that this is only the first of many similar gatherings. This was held at the suggestion of the pastor, to promote a greater feeling of sociability among the members of the church, binding them closer together, and thus increasing their mutual usefulness and helpfulness. WASHINGTON LETTER. Newt from Our Busy Capital. With automobiles largely supplanting the horse in the White House stables, it is hardly to be supposed that the famous "riding tetts" instituted by Mr. Roosevelt, will continue to be the bete noir of the army officer of ample proTV\rtinne The President has the right to maintain forty cadets at the Military Academy at West Point, and twenty at the Naval Academy Annapolis, filling the vacancies as they occur by reason of graduation or discharge for deficinecy. It has been the practice to confine these appointments almost entirely to the sons of army and navy officers, with the repult that much influence is brought to bear on the White House to obtain the few coveted appointments each year. Mr. Taft has under consideration plans for making these appointments after competitive tests, as he believes it would be more fair to the large number of candidates whose applications are on file if *1 iuc selections were determined by examination, limited to the class hitherto recognized. This plan would be an excellent one as it would not only relieve the President of the great pressure that is always brought to bear for these appointments, but would also remove, in a measure, the discontent of these who are necessarily left out. \ A petition has been sent to Congress from eighty-six lumber firms in Alabama and Florida protesting against the reduction of the duty on lumber, and tives from those states to vote against any reduction in the duty on lumber and its products. Democrats and Republicans alike will unite in wishing Mr. Roosevelt bon voyage and a safe return to his countrymen from the wilds of Africa. The real war over the tariff began on Monday, of this week, on the floor of the House of Representatives and the belief seems to obtain that during the general debate on the Payne bill the Democrats and Republicans will divide upon the old line of a protective tariff and a tariff for revenue only, the Democrats supporting the latter of course. We hone the Hemnrrats in Pnnowcc will come out heartily for and stand pat on the proposition that it is not only necessary to increase the revenues of the country by a revision of the schedules, but that in order to wipe out the Treasury deficit which has g^own so rapidly during the last year it is equally necessary to reduce the enormous expenditures of the country. Gratifying will be the results, no doubt, of the new order of Secretary Ballinger, and which carries the sigr ature of President Taft, directing the officials of the various Territories to remain at home and attend to "their own knitting". It has been customary for some important Territorial officials Governors of some of the Territories principally, to make frequent visits to Washington, of long duration, in the interests of Statehood, appointments in which they were particularly interested, etc., and we quite agree with the new Secre1 tary of the Interior that the Delegates in Congress from thes^ 1 Territories are the proper persons to represent them in these matI ters at the seat of Federal cover ment. We are pleased to learn that the Bureau of Immigration is about to investigate the charges that thousands of marine firemen have been "shanghaied" from ocean liners in New York harbor, within the last year or two, to work in the furnace rooms of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit, the Interborough, the other companies maintaining large steam plants, especially in Jersey City and Hoboken. It is claimed that these companies pay a premium of five dollars each to their agents for stealing men from steamships which have docked at New York, Hoboken and Jersey City. Commissioner General Keefe has laid the matter before the bureau for investigation and no doubt thi$> nefarious business will be stopped. The recent reports that the prosecution of the Standard Oil Corporation was to be abandoned by the Taft administration seemed hardly credible, and now comes the denial of the rumor from Washington. It seems that there are a number of cases pending against the Standard Oil Company based upon the same facts involved in the suit that has been thrown out of court, and of course to attempt to prosecute on these same ; facts would be as foolish as it would be useless. If the Standard Oil Company is still vinlatinor fho 1??"? - ?vuv mrro, UU" viously the first step is to obtain evidence sufficient to convict and then bring: the corporation into court again but on a different footing from that upon which it stood when it won its victory.
