a AS SURE TO RUN THE RACE. A Forecast of the Next State Cam paign. Which Is Now Open ing. and Which Will be Warm. The “campaign next summer” is the roseate future to which nearly every legislator l>oii;. Some have become disgustjJ with public life and swear that they will not again enter the lists. Others will “go back" If their friends '.'urge them” to do so.. Hut others think that this world has totter things in store for them. Some capitol, Lieut. Goy. J. H. Tillman and the winner will have to defeat about half a dozen other candidates, among them Gov. McSweeney, Col. W. Jas per Talbert, Capt. D. C. Heyward of Colleton and Mr. M. F. Ansel of Green ville. i The leading candidates for lieuten ant governor are Hon. Frank B. Gary of Abbeville, whose ability and fair ness as a presiding oftlcer are axiom atic; Senator S. G. Mayfield, who has been for eight years chairman of the senate’s most important committee; Senator J. Lyles Glenn of Chester, and Mr. Cole L. Blease. Since the redistricting of the State, there have been a number of buds oh the flower of congressional aspirations. In the first district it is thm/ght that Mr. Geo. Lcgare of Charleston will be 'elected. In the si/ond district the following names have been mentioned, and all will pndmbly run —William Elliott of Beaufort; G. Duncan Bellin ger and J. O. Patterson of l.arnwell; ! J. W. Croft of Aiken, and J. William Thurmond of Edgefield. Mr. Bellin- i ger is the fearless, aggressive and ! brainy leader of the anti trust clement of the State. Col.

It was all so serious. If Tillman had langhed in the face*of his traducer, it would have been so much more in harmony with senatorial dig nity, while it would not have violated the proprieties or have shocked that Negro Most Brntally Assaults White Woman.

Evidently aware that the lius'.iand was away front home, the negro called at the house on pretence of business. Mrs. Haynes came to the door with a liaby In her arms. After a few minutes An UnsucceMral Attempt to Hob *> . the Nt. Matthews Dank. ■ The town of St. Matthews was visit ed by a gang of robbers or burglars on Tuesday night of^ last week. They first entered the hardware store of Mr. Geo. W. Arthur and proanedafew chisels and other implements which they thought they might need and pro ceeded to the St. Matthews bank and blew open the outer doors of the huge safe of that institution. This was an easy enough Job, and no doubt the robbers thought they had met with a soft snap, but they were mis taken. After they got thfe outer doors open they attempted to blow open the inner vault in which the money is kept, but did not succeed. They succeeded, however in damaging it to such an extent that the hank officials could not open it themselves Wed nesday morning. The robbers also visited the general store of Messrs. Bates A Smistk, from which a few suits of clothes was taken. The dis pensary was visited by them and a l^tiwgton. pmvktrd Senator Sharpe retires.

Many people wha realize tbe danger of using impure city water boil It and feel happy. Whether they succeed by this method In remedying the evil is a question which. many medical men will answer in the negative. All chemists agree that the boiling of impure water, aside from the destruc tion of the life of some of the disease germs, the elimination of some of the gases and the deposit of a portion of the carbonate of lime, always makes it more impure. Boil a gallon of water untTTthefe Is but a quart left, and the quart will contain all the im purities of the gallon and will be near ly four times as impure as before. By continuing the boiling all the impuri ties, animal, vegetable and mineral, except the gases thrown off, will be reduced to one solid mass. The water which is evaporated and passes off as steam is very nearly pure. In the boiling process the dangerous germs may have been killed, but their re mains furnish exce 1 lent material for bacterial life to feed upon. The Potato Crop. Prepare for a large sweet potato crop. They make cheap hog food. They are good to have in the family about eight months in the year. Any variety of the yellow kind is good for table use. For hogs and cattle the la rge-rwf Ri ml, argffhffifFpTOTrfigrrsha' should be pulverized 3 to 12 inches deep. (fiant in two-foot rows. If you use commercial fertilizer and the land is thin mix 500 pounds arid phos phate. 300 kalnit and 200 pounds oot- ton seed meal for two acres. Tillman Had to Talk. When Senator Tillman made his first speech in the Senate after his al tercation with McLaurln he discussed the Irrigation bill. He simply want ed an excuse to say something. • "I don't know anything about this sub ject at all,” he explained. “I just happened in here while the matter was being discussed, and as 1 bad been rather—well—"Mr. Tillman paused. He did not know exactly how to describe his position. He looked around the Senate as if wait ing for a suggestion. “Closed up,” remarked Senator Berry. “Well, closed up,” said Mr. Tillman, .laugh ing “I had been in a. condlton of in nocuous desuetude for a few days and 1 thought the Senate might like to hear from me again.” As the speech was in favor of the irrigation bill, the friends of the measure listened in tently to all that Mr. Tillman had to say. The Price of a Foot. Mr. James C. Sebum pert, of New berry, lost a foot by an accident on the southern Railway at Belton on the 19th of February, 1901, while he was an engineer on that system. He brought suit for 150,000. The trial came off recently in Newberry, and the jury gave a verdict in his favor for $12,500. A motion for a new trial was refused with the understanding that the verdict be reduced to $10,000.

If the matter is presented to the solicitor by your people I have no doubt that he will ask for the special term of court you indicate. This is a requirement of law.
