The fotk3 of Senator Tillman and the nnti-d speiiB/uyitee over the State are becoming more and more perplexed in the selection from their forces of n man who would stand u show at beatiut? the senator in his race next fall. Already a number of probable candidates have been spoken of, and at least two have intimated a willingness to run, suuh intimation being sandwiched, however, with the usual "ifs," "awls" and "provisos'' so dear to the proenectr ive candidate who doubts his ubilit-y to defeat his opponent. Among those moat favorably spoken of for the race is Hon. Geo. H. Cromer, of Newberry. The writer knows little of Mr.Cromer's past political carreer, if he 1ms any, but learns that ho is one of the champions of the force engaged in the present light against Senator Tillman, He would perhaps make ft fairly good start in the race, and with the aid of an extra longsighted microscope get in near -enough to see the hoisting of the wool-hat colors at the finish. ' Then on the list of probables is is Mr. K. D. Smith, the popular president of tho South Carolina Cotton Association. Mr. Smith has not yet signified his intention of entering the race and it is not believed that he will, for such a step would not only mean overwhelming defeat for him, hut ft sacrifice of the popularity which he now enjoys as president of an association in which Senator Tilll man's supporters are numbered high up in the thousands. Xiusl, and perhaps least, so far no his chances of winnsug are concerned is tho Hon. John L. McLauri n? "flnrl v- Ht-ni t.*?l r? ???"' ..... J I -*-who as everyone believed, was songly tucked away in the political dentil-robe by Senator Tillman a few years ngo. Mr. Melauriu, according to reports, expresses a willingness to enter the race, provided a sufficient number desire thnt he should. This number he will probnblv plnce nt a figure so high ns to give him ample room to discard the proposition. It is safe to add, however, that should the former senator decide to take a snatch at Tillman's scalp, he would do so from the blind side, and when it was all crver would discover that ho hadn't even touched a hair. # . Should Patronize Home Folk. The Chester Lantern tells in- \ terestingly of the nipping in the bud of u scheme launched in that city some days by two strangers whose inteniion it was to fake the people by taking orders for en JHIglllg llliu IlHHling pilOIOH. AH usual in such schemes, the patrons of these fakirs were required to make small deposits hh a show of good faith until tho enlarged photos were returned. To n number of persons the actions of the men seemed a little peculiar and an arrest followed. The money i which had been fraudulently collected from the people of Chester wus held /is bond for their appearance, but when the trial was called the strangers were not to be found. Such is the fruits of dealing with strangers, but the Chester people will doubtless protit in the long run by their experience with the picture men. v V So.ne accent Discoveries. The esteemed editor of the Rock Hdl Record has made some wonderful discoveries since his debut into the* South Carolina journalistic field some months ago. Among the impoitant discoveries of this ardent pen-pusher is the fact that a certain nationality are unfit for residents in this State; that the Columbia Record is an avowed on amy of Senator Tillman, and that the editor of The Stato does not know the senior senator outside the walls of his sanctum. Pretty good! Now, jnrt discover that 1>articular typo of "man" wanted >v Tho Record, and we'll excuse you for a trip with Waller Wellman to discover the North Pole.

"The following ure said to have the Gubernatorial bee in their bonnets, though formal announcement of candidacies has not in nil all cases been made: Richard I. Mantling, of Sumter; John T.

Who said Senator Brioe didt.'t hear a noise like a buzz. To Reduce Southern Representation. Because of the disfranchisement of negroes in South Representative Keifer, of Ohio, on Monday introduced a bill to reduce Southern representation in Congress. The bill makes a reduction as follows: Alabama from lJto 2; Arkansas from 7 to 5; Florida from 3 to 2; Georgia from 3 1 to 0; Louisatia from 7 to 3; Mississippi from 8 to 3; North Carolina from 3 0 to 0; South Carolina front 7 to 3; Tennessee from 10 to 8; Texas from 10 to 12; Virginia from 10 to 8. Similar bills have been offered for years, and, as nothing ever results, it is supposed that the authors introduce them only to gain popularity and votes in their native states. The Trial of Hasty. A trial which is not only nttrac-1 ting attention in this section and state, but throughout the entire country, is that of George. Hasty,; charged with murder, which was taken up at Gnttney Monday. Hnsly, it will be recalled, was charged by W. T. Davidson and J. L. Bennett, two members of a theatrical company, with making improper remarks and proposals to a young lady with the company. Hasty shot both of the men fatally. The feeling in Gatfney was very stroiiLT at the time and Iho nfTnir ni tracted attention throughout the country. The Actors' association of the United Slates tool; the matter up and employed counsel to assist in the prosecution. .lust how the trialter will end is not known, but n being hard fought and is regnrded by both sides, as one of the biggest criminal cases of recent years in this stute. For a Commercial Club. About thirty of the leading citizens assembled in tho town hall Monday night and for more than two hours discussed in detail the subject of organizing a commercial club for the town. All wore heartily in favor of forming such an organization, and Dr. J. L. Spratt and Mr. C. IS. Link were elected temporary chairman nnd secretary, respectively. The first business discussed was the proper method ot proceedure, and quite a number of suggestions along this line were otiered. In each, however, there was a dissenting vote. Finally, it was decided that a committee of live, comp aed of J. L. Spratt, O. S. Link, -1. II. Witheispoon, W. B. Ardrey and L. J. Masscy, meet Tuesday night ami draw up a constitution for the club, a mango other prelim iuarieo and report at the next meeting which was called for Thuasday night, in the meantime the committee will visit the pro- j s|j?'uiive mem net s, explain tno purpose of I lie organization, entrance foes, clues, etr The hooks will be opened for membership Thursday night.

The principal work of the organizers at this time is to got the farmers, by a personal canvass, to pledge themselves to raise their supplies at homo this year, and also to reduce tho cotton crop of j 1006 to at least 7.r? per cent, of what it | was in iw4, mi as per rorm or me r.H)t? plodgo recently issued from the general headqnartors in Atlanta, and also to agree to pnv to the organizer early next full 10emits por bale on the cotton raised on their respective lands in 1U08, to help defray the oxponses of the organivxit ion, 20 |>er cent of those collections to go to tho organizers for their years work.

The) matter of {guaranteeing a miuimum , sum to ouch townshit* organizer will be utrunged for by his own township or- | gauizatiou. Before proceeding with the election an cflfort was intule to communicate with Mr. Stewart ovor tho telephone, but it failed.
