mmm-1 n WHO THEY ARE. i Names of Candidates For Senate and State Officers. , CAMPAIGN NOW OPEN There Are Five Candidate*' for the United State* Senate, Two For Governor, Three for Superintendent of Kducatlon, Five for Railroad Commissioner, and Only One for vhcu oi cite utner Statu Offices. The political campaign in this State may be said to be fairly opeu ; now, and soon it will be in full blast , from the mountain to the sea. The < County Conventions meet on Monday, I May 4, and the State Convention will meet on May 20. Candidates are being brought out by their friends, and soon they will be all out. The candidates for United States Senator are: Messrs. O. B. Martin. John Gary Evans, George Johnstone, E. D. i Smith and D. C. Heyward. From ex- 1 pressions in the county press, it appears to be the opinion that the race , is between Ex-Gov. Evans and ExGov. Ueyward, but Mr. Martin seems to object to the promulgation of this opinion, and doubtless the other can- i didates do also, but they do not express themselves as does Mr. Martin. Some Past History. In 1902, when Messrs. Evans and JohnBtone wore also candidates for the senate, the vote in the flrst primary stood: William Elliott. 13,658. John Gary Evans, 17,893. J. J. Hemphill. 13,261. D. 8. Henderson, 13,771. Geo. Johnstone, 13,556. A. C. Latimer, 22,971. Total 95,110. The second primary was between Evans and Latimer, and in the second election Mr. Evans received 3 6,371 votes and Mr. Latimer 53.890. Mr. Latimer being elected by a ma- i Jorlty of 17,519, over Mr. Evans. Mr. Evans hhd been defeated for the sennte by John L. McLaurln In 1R07 onH again by Joseph H. Earle In 1896. In the year 1902, Capt. Heyward made his entry Into politics and the vote In the first primary resulted as follows: D. C. Heyward. 36,551. M. F. Ansel, ,17,685. W. J. Talbert, 18,218. J. H. Tillman, 16,398. W. H. Tlmmerman, 6,515. Total, 96.367. ,The second race was between Heyward and Talbert aud the vote resulted: Heyward, 50,830; Talbert. 40,494. Capt. Heyward being elected by a majority of 10,336. In 1904 Gov. Heyward was re-elected without opposition. The year 1902, also saw the political debut of Hon. O. B. Martin, who In that year was tlrHt a candidate for the office of state superintendent of education against Hon. John J. McMahan, receiving 48,850 votes against 4 5,891 for Mr. McMuhan. there being only two couteBtants. Since then Mr. Martin has not had opposition for this office, being re-elected in 1904 and 1906. The Gubernatorial Race. The withdrawal of Mr. Featherstone from the race for governor leaves the Hon. C. L. Blease, senator from Newberry, as the only candidate against Gov. Ansel. Mr. Blease was always a stalwart state dispensary supporter nnd since that institution's abolition ho has come out on an extended local option platform. Gov. Ansel on the other hand announced his platform this year to bo restricted locnl option, favoring a law making the entire state prohibition with the right to counties to exempt them neives by majority voto and sell whiskey through county dispensaries. In 1906, whdh ho was elected governor, Mr. Atllel favored the present county option system, and in 1902, when ho was defeated, he favored the state dispensary as "the best solution of the liquor question." Before that time ho had been regarded, as a prohibitionist. Mr. Ansel, while a man of positive personal convicitons has always been a close student of popular sentiment anl his successive platforms indicate the tren.d of public opinion in this state fairly well during the last few years. That the prohlbitloists will be content to have such a law enacted as Mr. Ansel now advocates seems evident from Mr. Featherstone's withdrawal. Other State Offices. Mr. Martin not. being a candidate for re-election the way is open for a new mnn in the office of State Superintendent of Education. County Superintendent of Kducation E. C. Klmore, of Spartanburg, was the first to announce and he lias made n nre -- ? ?? ? " llmlnary campaign. County Superintendent S. R. Mellichamp. of Orange- | burg, was next to announce and he j has also done much work. Recently Prof. J. E. Swearlngen, of Cedar ' Springs Institute announced his can- | didacy. i The office of railroad commissioner ( is always contested for. Commission- \ er Caughman's term expires and he i is a candidate for re-election. So , far it is known that he will have opposition from Mr. J. A. Snmraersett, of Columbia, Major Flshburne, of Charleston, Major H. W. Richardson, ( f Columbia, "Canzler of Tirzah," and f perhaps others. j It appears now that the other state . officials will not have opposition. Sec- j retary of State McCown, Attorney f General Lyon, Comptroller General f Jones, State Treasurer Jennings, Ad- a jutant General Boyd. However, the c campaign has JuRt started: and the s election is yet founr months off, but t the entries for state offices close in r June. D In 1906 the total vote in the first y St , * men, and they are fond of him. He has never reached the state when he felt too proud to come out of the House when sent for and sny that he dad no news when asked for it if he had none. Nor has he ever sent a newspaper man away feeling other than better for paving seen him. He Is the correspondents friend always. WILI) ELEPHANT NUISANCE. Hindustan Planters Complain of Damage Done by Pachyderms. At Calcutta, Tndia, the Doors Planters' Association has appealed to the government for help in ridding the the cohntry of wild elephants, whose pranks are becoming intolerable. Though no actual ''rogues" are reported or loss of life, crops are said to be trampled on, fences torn down, roofs pulled off. and many roads rendered impassable by the patroling of these mischievous pachyderms. The most serious mat'er, however, is interruption of railway tratlir, for the brutes exhibit a queer predilection for waudering on the line, which is a narrow gauge, and therefore renders the trains specially liable to derailment should they meet an obstacle when running at night or round curves in the day time. PICKED UP AT SEA. Wrecked Off Charleston and Itescucd by Yacht. Tho steam yacht Columbia arrived at New York from Florida on Tuesday with three fishermen on board, rescued from their sinking boat in n gale off Charleston. The three men sailed from Charleston in the fishing smack Star on April 17. The next day they were caught in a gale in which the smack lost her mast and most of her sails. When tho derelict was sighted the sea was running so high that tho Columbia could not lower her boats. The yacht approached the Star so near that ropes could be thrown to the fishermen, who were then hauled on board the Columbia Their friends In Charleston had about given them up as lost. HEIRS OF GARRET SOX. Information Wanted of a Captain in the United States Army. The Charleston Post says Postmaster W. L. Harris has received a letter from Attorneys Lyon & Lyon of Washington, D. C., asking for Information about heirs of one Charles Gnrretson, a captain in the United States army, who died in Charleston in 1871. The letter states that It is very much to the interest of the heirs that they should be known and Postmaster Harris, desiring to contribute his services to the cause, will he elnri tn rprsivn nni- Itifomiotinn ??i the matter that he may be able to forward to the Washington attorneys. IXUNCTIONS PERMAXKXT. Temporary Orders Issued by Justice Gory Made Perpetual. Charleston blind tigers will have to behave themselves or go to jail. The Supreme Court Tuesday evning rendered decisions in 8 of the Charleston dispensary injunction cases, the temporary injunctions previously granted by Associate Justice Gary being in each case made permanent, the opinion of the Court being written by Justice Gary. These are cases additional to those in which permanent injunctions have already been granted on the petition of the Attorney General. SOLID FOR BRYAN.

His )nforced absence has been noted by nany people, who have asked where 'he little Congressman from South Carolina has gone.

X>UNTY DISPENSARIES ARE MONEY GETTING INSTITUTIONS. Have IKiiip Alxxit Sumo HiiuIiiosn as Former State Dl&pcusary With Much More Profit. During the quarter euding March 31 the county dispensaries sold $790,964.01 worth of whiskey in 24 counties, of which one has sin?e gone dry. On this business an average profit of 39 per cent, was made, the total profit being $268,941.98. This is at the rate of over a million dollars a year profit. According to the statement recently prepared by Comptroller General Jones the state dispensary during Its thirteen years of business paid into the state treasury for all purposes the sum of $1,515,107.57. The proportion of profit paid to the counties and towns varied at different time, but the total profit of the State dispensary, even when there were dispensaries in forty-one counties did not reach one million dollars per year, or thirteen million dollars in the years that it was in operation. .According to the report made t.v Dispensary Auditor West to Governor Ansel at the close of the fiscal year the total amount of sales by the county dispensaries during the nine and a fraction months they were operated in 1907 was $2,691,663.4:'., on which the net profit declared was $695,058.61. The business for a full year, or 12 months, runs easily in excess of three million dollars, which was the high water mark for the state dispensary, while tlie profit of the county dispensary system for twelve months run* in excess of one million dollars, which the state dispensary never did attain, though its founder predicted it would. Though there are now dispensarief in only twenty-t'our counties the protit from the county dispensary system is proportionately so much greatei that from the state dispensary, and i< is distributed between the county and towns, that as a revenue produce! the county dispensary is going tc prove more popular than the old system, and for that reason, if for nc other, it is more difficult to vote it out than it was to close the countj dispensaries under the so-called Brice Act under the state dlspeusarj regime, when prejudices and antag onism to the state dispensary had something to do with the large pro hibltton vote cast in several counties of the state. GIRL WITH FLKET. She Hade the Trip on the Supplj Ship Brutus. As a result of a story circulated ir Pittsburg by Elmer E. Day, who was a civilian passenger on the supplj ship Brutus, attached to the Pacifit fleet, that a girl stowaway made the passage through the straights o! Magellan with the ueet, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Newberry hai taken steps to ascertain if a mar named Dey was aboard the Brutus. "It does not seem possible that s girl could secrete herself aboard oih of the vessels," said Mr. Newberry "I believe it would be almost possibh to hide a ham. or even a ciEnrette The person who circulated the storj kept the girl aboard too long.

At Memphis, Tenn., following t quarrel because she had stopped liei children from playing with some ne groes, .Mrs. James Wright shot and instantly killed Leila Gordon, a negro woman. Mrs. Wright used a single barreled shot gun and her one shot tore an arm completely from the negro woman's body. Rushing into her home, Mrs Wright re-loaded the shot-gun and started in pursuit of Mary Davis another negro woman. She shot at her once after a chase of nearly a block, but the shot went wild. Police olticers from the Webster avenue station arrested Mrs. Wright a few minutes Inter nnd she wan locked u| on a rharge of murder. A ntinl-i-et over the children of the white woman being stopped from playing with some negroes living in the vicinity was the cause of the tragedy. KIIXKl) IX WHKCK.

''And still they come!" exclaimed ^ WlllUs Clayton as he entered his airy little once In the Oxford building and saw the package of envelopes on his desk. Large envelop. s and small of all tint* and shades. and with a few exceptions each highly perfumed. "It'B a duce of a nuisance now,' he mutlbred as he tore open envelope after envelope, merely glancing at tho contents and Invariably giving each a toss Into the waste basket, with curling lips.

Well, I've lost and a box of good cignrs go s to him evidently. At first it was Interesting, then amusing, and now. well, rather disgusting." Suddenly he paused, staring incredulously at a photograph he had just taken from a plain little envelope?a smiling sunny face returned his gaze, and two big trusting eyes, shaded by wavy hair falling about a high forehead. looked into his. "It is!" he exclaimed at Inst with a deep breath. "She was the last one in the world I thought would >>to >p to such a thing, but there can be no mistake," and he stared lone and earnestly at the picture, entirely ignoring the accompanying letter. "How many times does a fellow have to rap to be admitted to this ' sanctum sauctorum?" asked a merry voice as itB owner put his head Inside the door. ' "Peg pardon. Frank.

Interrupted Frank, a strange little gleam in his eyes. "Yes. yes do you know her?" "If it's the one I think, you must be referring to my cousin, and if you've been putting her on a pedestal you can't make it a hit too high." r "Your cousin!" "Yes, and the dearest, sweetest, little thing you ever saw. Are you t coming to sis'party? I suppose you have received her Invitation?" "No, but I haven't been all through my mail yet?why?" "Because Queenle will he there and I'll Introduce you. Her real name is Marjorie, but we've always ' railed her Queeulo on account of the ' Imperious, yet modest, little ways 1 she has."

"What the dickens?" he began, then stopped, tho light of understanding superseding his bewild, ernient, which ended in a hearty laugh. "One on sis." he cried.

A dispatch from Blaekville to Tho State uiys what is considered one of he saddest accidents that ever hap>etied there was the sudden death of Miss lleaulah Gillam, caused by u runaway horse. Miss Gillani and her friend. Miss Alice Sojourner, were out driving and had driven out on the road to the Healing springs, a favorite drive from Mlackville. There were a number of buggies in a line returning from the springs to Black ville and a couple of young men undertook to drive by Miss Sojourner's horse, which was a very spirited anitnal. The horse commenced running and soon got from under her control, though she is an excellent driver. Miss Gillam became very much excited and jumped from the buggy, striking her head. She never regained consciousness and died at. 2 p. m. Monday. Miss Sojourner remained in tho buggy until the horse struck a tree and threw her out.
