lost Week.
The State Republican executive
committee met In Columbia hint week
and the action taken has ronBldcv
ablo bearing upon tl\q Federal patron-..
ajje situation in the State just at this
time. Of course no one c an 'tell what
weight the volco of the old line He
jmbliean organization will have with
the now prealdeht. but the commit
tee has spoken and spoken plainly.
The sessions wero hold in the col
ored Y. M. C. A. hall and there was
a good attendance of the members of
the committee. State Chairman Dens

ing ns collector of int?\rfiai revenuo
lor South Carolina, for that position
to succeed tho late Mr. ty A. Webster.
Mr. Hugglns has been in theraeo from
the flrkt purely as a business ...man
familial wltji the duties of the ofllco
and the committeemen say has not
sought the endorsement that has been
given him.
The/ committee elected Mr. E. W.
Screven a member of the State com
mitted to succeed Mr. 1,. W.' Rialock,
resigned. Mr. lllalock Is tho New
berian who came so near getting tho
colloctorship. Mr. Screven was also
named as tho committee's choice for
the, position of national committee
man/ This is, however, merely an
endorsement, as tho national commit
tee at Jts next meeting elects a man
to fill tho vucancy. Chairman ilanna
has already named Jno. (1. Capers to
fill the vacancy until tho committee
moots. Mr. Capers is evidently not the
choice of tho Republican organization
in the State. Hut he Is United Slutoa
district attorney and he Is for the
time being the national commit tee
man.
