BRADFORD. |( Czolgosz's days on earth cau be numbered by the figures 12. # ? Senator Foraker, it is said, will introduce a bill to pay Mrs. MeKinley a $50,000 pension, $5,000 a year. It is understood that President Roosevelt will oppose any effort to reduce Southern representation, which some of the Republican statesmen of the North have been threatening. * t Senator Hatiua's annointinent of John G. Capers member of the National Republican eommitte, vice E. A. Webster, deceased, is another evidence thut the liepublican machine has determined 1o turn traitor to its colored friends in every instance where the old friends have ceased to be of use, which is characteristic of the p irty. Pat Crowe, the kidnapper of Eddie Cudahy, in a letter to Chief of Police Donahoe, of Omaha, has offered to give himself up for trial, provided he shnll not be locked up until a jury shall adjudge him guilty. He says he is uuable to furnish bond in excess of $500. Crowe must have been living a pretty high life during the past year. Horr Moat, editor and anarchist, was sentenced by a special session _ r i V \r I -m r % ?u court, mi itt'w xork xvionuay 10 nerve one year in the penitentiary for publishing in his paper, ,4Freilicit," just previous to the nssassination of President McKinley, an article entitled "Murder against Murder." Like Czolgosz, Most collapsed completely en route to the Tombs. m m m Yesterday's dispatches stated that all that could be learned from the State Department officials respecting the ease of Miss Helen M. Stone, the abducted American missionary, is that she iB alive and that efforts are continuing for her release. The officials, while declining to indicate the nature of the measures they are pursuing to this end, still maintain hope of ultimate success. A Washington dispatch of the 12th says that outside of the sad event of President McKinley's dentil, the country is interested in the services of the physicians who attended him and what they would get for their service. A I hundred thousand dollars will be | anked from congress for the pay ! of McKinley's physicians. Nearly ' twioe that sum was paid to President Garfield's physicians for eighty days services. The withdrawal of Colonel Wylie Jones from what promised to l>e a hitter senatorial contest, in favor of General Wade Hampton, is regarded as a most graceful courtesy to an old man who has always been steadfast in his adherence to his party, even to the extent of refusing to accept office from the Mclvinley administration and at a time when his financial affairs would have rendered the office most acceptable. But it is regarded as even better politics. A contest between Jones and MoLaurin would have had a n?'?st injurious effect on the party in Sooth Carolina particularly at a time when every expedient is being used to i 1 build up a brand new "white man's Republican f^aity" in the State. If General Hampton, who is 83 years old. cau l>e peisuaded to accept and Senator Tillman acquiesh*, as it is believed he will. Colonel Jones' course will be regarded us u coup worthy of reward. Th$ Niw Pistol Law In South Carolina. Charlotte Observer. Kvents in the Palmetto State transpire with such rapidity that it requires close attention to keep even in touch with the most important of them. For instance, we note from The Greenville News that a new law regarding the sale of pistols goes into effect next year. "Upon investigation," snys The News, " it was learned that July, 1902, is the time when no more pistols of the usual variety can be sold. The act provides that pistols twenty inches long and weighing three pounds may then be sold to those who want them. A weapon of this size, however, could not be concealed in the hip pocket, but the law goes further and prohibits the carrying of anv sort of firearms, concealed or otherwise. It is said that there is no law prohibiting the sale of cartridges after July, 1902, which fit the pistols now in use, and no doubt after that time the regulation pistol cartridge will be sold as usual. No law can p event the importation of pistols in South Carolina from other States any more than it can prohibit the importation of whiskey. So that it will be easy to secure a pistol through your dealer and unless the State establishes a pistol constabulatory there will be nothing to prevent pistols being imported into the State." Healthiest Town in AmericaThe most healthy place in the United States to live in is Marion. Ia., according to reports received by the Marine Hospital Service from 1,190 cities and towns having a population of 1,000 or more. There may have been a more healthful place than Marion, but if so, no official returns were from it. Marion has a population of 4,100, and there were only six deaths in 1900, making the death rate the phenomenally low figure of 1.4(1 per 1,000 The average death rate in all the cities and towns was 17.47. It appears from the compilation of the Marine Hospital Service that tho State having the best record for health 1 t xt _??. i- ?;n inni yrni wuo inirui I'llKOlll Willi a death rate of only (>.92 per 1,00() of population.
