Mr. Allen declared that he had been but a figure head in the matter; that J. W, King, of Dillon, devised the plan the Pee-Dee Association offered tbe matter to the State Convention, and that the Baptist of the State bad contributed the money. 'Mr. Allen Is a modest man, but the Convention knows that his personal effort secured tbe 6125,000. Mr. Allen has been elected financial agent of the University for the year 1904, ... Dr. D. W.

The Columbia State says all " the members of the commission were pres ent ercejit Mr."'Morgan. The com mission went to Charleston for the purpose of conferring with the Char leston delegation to the legislature With referrence to raising as large a sum as possible in that county and to receive reports qd the amount of money that has already been collect ed, as they bad not heard from - Char leston. The conference was held at the St. John hotel and was presided over by Senator McCalh the chairman ofthe commission. Tbe Charleston delega tion reported that 6743 had been col lected, which was very grafting to the commission, for as no statement had been submitted to Col. Marshall, th treasurer of the commission, the mem bers wereuf the opinion that nothing had been donfe-towardwaTsthg money in that county for the Hampton monu ment. Col. Marshall reported that the commission had collected and how bad in the bank 620,028.92, which was given principally in Richland and Sumter qpunties. Col.

Col. Marshall re turned to the city last night. WHHaimaad Crmm Will Retire and - There Are Several Who Ap« pear Very Anxious fur Their Places. With the approach of the legislative session, which is only five weeks off, the political pot will begin to boil, though by even tbe widest stretch of tbe imagination It can hardly be said to be more than simmering so far. This being an “off year” In elections the vacancies which the legislature will be called upon to fill will be few In number and for the most part un important. There is no promise of any heated contest, though the endeavor to be come members of the dispensary di rectorate may develop some excite ment. It is understood that the chairman, Mr, lu J. Williams, will re tire and that Mr. H. H. Evans, will aspire to this place. General Wilie Jones cannot offer for election, Gov. Heyward having appointed him to fill out the uoexplred term of Mr. Dukes. Among tbe candidates for represen tation In the directorate ex-Mayor W.. McB. Sloan, of Columbia, Col. John Bell Towill of Lexington, Representa tive Walker of Barnwell,;Representa tive Goupdin of Williamsburg and ex- Senator McDermont of Horry are mentioned. . * • Crum also will rbtiux. . At this time it appears that the fight for Commissioner Crum’s place will be between Representative Tatum of Orangeburg and Capt. W. D. Black, head bookkeeper at the.penitentiary. Mr. Crum will not stand for re-elec tion. _ The terms of two 'penitentiary di rectors, Messrs., W. D. Mann of Abbe ville and W. B. Love of York, will expire this winter. They are up for re-eleotlou-and- H*r Chester is an aspirant for a place on the boircT 7 Superintendent Griffith’s term expires Jan. 20, 1905.

As to the law to be passed by tbe .special session, a sepa rate board of commissioners with plenary powers may he appointed of the State hoard of agriculture may he authorized to carry into effect any aws that may be passed. My own opinion is that the work may be done by”cre&tfhg a hoard of commissioners composed of tbe commissioner of agriculture, the director of experi ment stations, the State entomologist, and two prominent and practical cot ton planters.” A bill carrying these suggestions into effect was intrduced and will be passed. / / Boygraphn* If the boy Is treated like a gentle man at home be will act like a gentle man abroad.

Tbe publication of the edito rial in the local p%pera has given rise to a discussion which has completely overshadowed the Wood case, the president's message and everything else. The Commercial Tribune comes out bodily for tbe nomination of some other man to he tbe Republican staqd ard bearer In the presidential contest,' pointing with brutal frankness to the weakness of President Roosevelt, the party dissatisfaction with him, and the extreme danger of going into tbe contest with him as a leader. Special stress is laid upon conditions in New York, which, The Commercial Tribune thinks, render It. practically Impossible for Roosevelt to carry that State. There is no mention of any other man in particular, though half dozen are named as more likely than tbe prisident to unite his party. .. ~ More than ordinary interest is taken In this attack because of tbe known affiliations of the newspaper. It is re garded the personal organ of George B. Cox, the big Republican boss of southern Ohio, who la very dose in deed to Senator Hanna, and suspicious administration .politicians are inclined to see the fine Italian hand of Uncle Marcus back of the v/hole thing.* Some of them construe it as simple a means of forcing the president to let up on his fight for General Wood, while oth ers see in it the beginning of a syste matic campaign ln" J ttlo interest_ of HanoA- ~ At the white house the Commercial Tribune is sneered at.as of oo conse quence, but those who understand Ohio politics and havo a knowledge of Die interests which control |hat paper ajee of the opinion that,their may be serious breakers ahead for Roosevelt.

This sad story Is related by the Nejv York American: '“Bedelia” was the swan song for pretty Lizzie Worth ..Thursday. Humming the words of the popular melody she placed a bottle of carbolic acid t© her lips and ended her life in the rear room of a Harlem saloon. Lizzie Worth’s life of twenty years was not one to be proud of. She had no home or do parents that any one knew of. Drenched by the Sturm and wearied of life, she entered a barroom at One Hqndred and Twenty-first street and Lexington avenue. The bartender and several patrons heard the fami liar strains of “Bedelia” issuing from the little room in Die rear. Then there was a crash. They hastened into the back room and found her in the last throes of death. Even then broken snatches of the song issued from b^r -acid-scarred lips. Lizzie Worth was dead when a physician arrived.
