With referrence to raising as large a

The conference was held at the St.
John hotel and was presided over by
Senator McCalh the chairman ofthe

tion reported that 6743 had been col

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

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

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

message to the special session of the

discussing"the boll weevil situation
ao4 , piisslng necessary laws to check
the evil, sal
ing from Mexico has t o w spread across
the State of Texas and this year has
injured the cotton crop of that State,
according to various estimates from
615,000,000 to. 650 000,000. If a
check is not found it is only a ques
tion of time when Louisiana and the
entire cotton belt will become a prey
toils ravages. 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.

Prealdent Ro«mv*U la Attacked by
a Leading Republican Paper-
A dispatch from Washington says
the sensation of the hour, so far as
tbe national capital la concerned, to
the attack upon Preeldent R xjsevelt
contained in an editorial of tbe Cin*
dnatl Commercial TribuneT thTlead
ing Republican organ of the Buckeye
State. 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.
So far Senator Scott, of West Vir--
fV/laulWjfl g>pta lB the ^ Republican of *
ttce-holder of prominence who has had
the temerity to proclaim that he is for
Hanna ahqve Roosevest, but there are
a great many others who are anxious
for an opportunity to line up that
way. It is not too much to say that
the present indications are that they
may have the opportunity.
A Had Esding.
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. Her i>ody wlll gu io the
Potter’s field.
Caught In the Aet.
A dispatch from Tteoton to The
State says on Tuesday afternoon of
last week Miss Sue Penn, the assistant
postmistress, left tbe office to carry
over a registered package to the train
which stops in front of the office at
the tank.' While she was absent a
young negro boy who goes by the
name of Pete Tillman, went around to
the rear' oTTThe office, raised the sash
and jumped In. Realizing that bis
nequickiy orhis busi

he made no defiy lir g'ettlng ‘ to the
safe and was just in the actrof taking
therefrom its valuable contents when
he was surprised to see Mr. C. Ward,
one of the rural carriers, step in. Mr.
Ward gave him.a very cordial Invita
tion not to be in a hurry to get away,
so ^ete decided to remain awhile.
They went to see tbe magistrate, who
thought it a deed worthy of notice by
one of Unel£ Sam’s officers and now
they are waiting until Friday when
they will ap^ar before Uncle Sam's
representative to see whether Pete

afternoon. Father T. Hyactnth JiTsta,
who was at bis devuJons at the altar, *
heard heavy...breathing. Jhe only
per&m he could see was' i woman-
who was, apparently, praylng/ter-
vently In the last pew but one from
the rear. He walked hurriedly to
her and touched her on the shoulder.
She took no notice, and, raising her
up to a sitting posture, he found that
she was uncousciouc -He summoned
a doctor, but tbe woman was dead
when.he arrived. Apoplexy waS the
cause.
