tlie Houtli Atlantic watf-ard of Um-

hi* great inlelleet to tlie finding of
some way to ahjust the institution of

dearly, unless we arc to consider ail
that happens as preordained amt from

South‘ Carolina justly reveres the
iffcino’ry of Calhoun: nor holds him an
swerable for that which only a seer,
inspired of God, could have forecast
and averted. The archaic pile he
reared out of his own high conscious
ness proved hut the fabric of a vision.
It was as the republic of Plato. The
beautiful mind, the noble purpose,
that while he lived, gave it life and
light, remain; and. even as the stran
ger wanders aimlcsly among (liedeso
late shrines of a ghostly past—tlie
crumbling Vails, theshipleas wharves,
the empty marts, the very familiar
household flowers of chivalry torn
from the lintel—the spirit of honor
and duty and love brood in the air
about him, whilst from the rice field

It seems to be settled that presi
dent Roosevelt will appoint Senator
John L. McLaurin to a scat on the
bench of the Court of Claims—a I
pleasant post paying $4,500 a year.
Just when this vacancy will occur, 1
cannot now be said. The latest state
ment alxmt the matter is that the
1‘resident will defer action till the ad
journment of Congress. In the mean-,
time there arc already several gentle-
meo merit ibrusT ln connection with ‘
the contemplated vacancy - among
them Col. Jai. A. Hoyt. Cui. Wilir

The cities which have up to this

Aiken. Greenwood and Laurens. The
two latter appear to he the most zeal-;

cities lias appeared before the board ,
and urged that a committee Is* sent!
around to look at the various sites. A |
letter making a similar-request was
received from Aiken, and a similar

What will be the outcome of the j

any connnunity*is at once an honor
and a benetlt.
