Senator Foraker, it is said, will
introduce a bill to pay Mrs. MeKinley
a $50,000 pension, $5,000

It is understood that President

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

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

furnish bond in excess of $500.
Crowe must have been living a
pretty high life during the past

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

PropoMd Change of Kail Bout#.
An effort is being made by several
prominent citizens, who are
interested, to have what is known
the Ardrey's star mail route loading
from this place changed to a
rurnl free delivery route. All the
necessary requirements have be* n
complied with and the papers including
petitions and diagrams of
proposed route have been forwarded
to Congressman D. E. Finley
nnd J. W. Ardrey, and Mr* Finley
promises to uso his influence to
have the matter secure early and
favorable attention from the government.
The new route is estimated
to be abont 27 miles aud
noes ?y uoby s bridge nna returns
via Bailee' bridge. The present
route leuds vice versa and by
Bailee* bridge. The law requires
that there be one hundred families
along the route to receive the service
and that about two thirds of
theui shall be white and the only
requirement of the patrons is that
each tainily shall purchase and
place iu convenient location one
of certain boxes which have the
approval of the government and are
protected by a heavy penalty against
trespassers and thieves.
These boxes cost but one dollar apiece.
About one hundred and
twenty-five names were signed to
the petition and the new service
may reasonably said to be assured
i if the roads will uass insnection
*
I and on this point the people should
make themseh.es sure by the ear-1
liest potsible date. We understand
that the appropriation for a
route of this kind ia |~>00 and that

travelling postmaster with authority
to sell stamps, register letters,
