ReaseveIt and the 1904 Nomination. it has long been known that President Itousevelt was losing bin balance in bis desire to secure the j nomination in 1901 He has in tin* past prided himself on being a nihil of his word, but today it is only necessary for an influential lb publican to whisper that a pro. posed move will prove inimical to j Air. Roosevelt's chances in 11)04 j mikI the former pledge is quickly forgolten or fulfillment evasively j avoided. The latest, evidence of tiiis inani/i on the part of the president, and it is littleness, is his nation in regard to the Indianola, Miss., post mastership. Some of . * the president's friends, or enemies, haev been assuring hi in that he must focuro a stronger hold on the \ negro vote in the South or lie! would find disaffection in the next ; nnti .n?J convention. Possessed of this idea, the president made his decision in regard to the Indian- i ola postoffice closing Ihe office and compelling the residents lo go ( u> me trouble and expense of cs- , 1 m 1)1 inliin?^ a private ottiee without i even making a proper investigation of the circumstances. If the facta 1 were na represented, the president ( might have been warranted in , taking such action, hut now there i nrocrave doubts us to the facts and 1 < ven if tliere hud been persecution of the postmistress by certain in- | dividuals the case called for critU' , imil prosecuticu and not a whole. < Hale punishment of criminal and ' innocent alike. These facts are now beginning to come out and it : is probable that Mr. Roosevelt will , yet have to stultify his former I action. I The Dispensary In Alabama. Tin* News and Courier of the 2d i inst. contained the following: I The Le_-islature of Alabama has i adopted a local option dispensary I system which iH in operation in a few of the smaller cities and some I of the towns of the State. We have < received a letter from an attorney 1 tit Mobile informing us that there is a growing sentiment in that State in favor of the dispensary system, and that it is probable that a bill will be introduced in the Alabama Legislature, which assembles this month, to provide for a dispensary law for the entire {State. Wo do not think any more of he dispensary system of regu- | Inline the liquor traffic now tlnui we thought when the system wus established in thin State about ten : ye^rs a^o, It has been the fruit-! ful source of many crimes, has re-1 suited in the building up of a oreat political machine, and has not promoted the cause of temperance. Indeed, the revenue which the system would hrini; to the State instead of the promotion of temperance 111110111; the people, was the prime object of the system. ' lt#m$ ofilooal Interest.

Howard, Kdwnrd Dulthii, TIioh. Nolan and Win. McKinley, are con fined, having been com in i i ted in default of a $20,000 bond fur each. The charge aipdnst the men is that of'iobbintf numerous banks, postoflices, and business bouses throughout the Slate du iiifi the pa-t year. Tin so men, it is said, had a w? ll organized band, whose headquarters were in Columbia. Tin* police of tlifit ciiy we 10 informed (?t their presence there by a woman and a close watch was kept on the gang. The arrests were made during the past week. The trial of these men will be watched with much interest by the people of this section, for it is the general belief that this gang is responsible for the robberies of the Fort Mill postolllce and Savings hank, hot h of wh.ch occurred during the past year. The Columbia Record gave the folllowing account of the record and capture of the crooks: Howard is the leader of thegaug and has "done" time in West Virginia for safe cracking, so Inspectors Gregory and I'ulsifer state. The four men were formally arrested on a wanant sworn out by I..... 4.... i >.. i..: r.... ?...f I .Ti i iinuri HM i (I in iri f uriui C iiiiru States Commi.-sioner Lide, at l)rangebnrg, in which they were charged with, on or about November 8, 27, 28 and 2ft, 1002, and December 14, 1G, 1U and 20, 1002, breaking into the postoiHces at Cameron. Knorce,liowesville, 1 lineman, Hartsville. Montmorenci, Batesburg and Renuo, and did take various sums of money and postage stamps. At all t hese plares i it is allowed, that the safes were broken into and money taken. Most of these post offices are in stores, an t in most cases post of lice money was taken, together wiih private funds. The p> stoliiee inspector had nothing to do with | such robberies as those of Mullins I tnd other places where no post- I )lii ce funds were involved.

District Attorney Capers has been notified of the arrests anil will represent the government befor the United States commissionn\ and it is expected that the evidence will show that the gang had conlederutes in Charleston. No such gangs have ever operated in this State before. They not only robbed safes and got away with good money, but they have Hooded many of the smaller towns with bad specie, and the counterfeits were so clever that merchants and others accepted them as genuine. Dies were found in Hateshurg not long ago and these were coiitiscated. They were such excellent representations that the secret service men wele convinced that the government Imd to deal with the most daring and dangerous gang that ever worked .1.! i C .
