Goodwyn Rhett. a candi date for the United States Senate, has (Iren to the press the following outline of his riews on some of the Qoeations of the day: .There is. In' my Judgment, great '* ■^■0^' need Jfor more business methods In government.'~It Is significant that the Democratic party has not been In power, with the exception of eight yeara, for almost half a century, al though the aalid Goutk,.. constituting si roost one-third of the oountf/,' TUss almost invariably cast its votes for that party. I believe it Is largely due to a lack of confidence on the part of the. people of the country In the capacity of the Democratic party to manage the Government upon a business plane and by business methods. The South does not lack ■mb of bneineee rapid ty, end there are not a few of them at present in the halls of Congren, but they have been following political and not bustneaa lines. My belief is that if they subordinated their political to their business talent they would re gain the confidence of the entire country. More than this, my belief Is that they would once more secure the leadership and guide the polices of the Democratic party, and through that party the Government of the nation. As a bnsiness man. who baa found that the applications of business methods to all problems -govern mental as well as others—has effect ed the best solutions. I am offering myself as a candidate for the United States Senate, believing that I can be of some use to the people of ray State, to the South and to the coun try. * Currency. Th« present currency laws of the UaRed States are fratfied for the benefit of the bond-bolding fraternl ty of New York and New England and against the interests of the far duaar eaerally- Under th the Southern bank, from whom alone the farmer can obtain the cur snuey to gather hto crone, to bow palled to buy this currency in Terk.

I do not be lt is realised bow materially cnrreacy question effects every in the country. The lutrlc any of the question has made it so dtSeult to understand that the re presentatives of the large moneyed interests of the Northeast bave blind ed th« people of the country and enable them through the present cur rency system to levy tribute upon every industry to a greater or less eatent. For Instance, there was a penic l'*t fall and no currncy could be obtained at any price‘s The rea son was that all bank note currency kad to be eucured by the deposit of Government bonds, and the Govern ment bond market was cornered in New York. I have constructed a sys- " tea on the lines of our Federal Gov ernment—a system of the people and for the people—a system based upon the credit of the country, its Indus tries and commodities distributed tbronghout the length and breadth of the land—a system from the pro portionate benefits of which no com munity can be excluded—yet n sys tem behind which stands more than Um combined currencies of Europe; a system which will forever^free our tadoetries from currency famines and our country from panics.

In the process reducing the du- tfe* the utmost endeavors should be used to prevent dh«ii Iminaftion against Southern industries, coupled with diligent care that our indus tries shall receive the fullest share •f advantage from whatever duties remain.

At eleven o'clock by appointment there was held a mass meeting of citizens to hear the account of what the Audubon society has been doing to save the bird*,, game and fish of South Carolina and also to learn how the Audubon work Is being carried on. Some thirty-five or forty repre- sentatlve citizens gathered to hear Mr. Rice who unfolded the plans of the society. Senator Thomas M. Raysdr presi ded qver the meeting and introduc ed Mr. Rice to the audience. At this meeting attention was called to the secretary to the work done by the National Audubon society through out America and Canada, and how it has been spreading from state to state until now it covers the Union.

No cause tor the act is known. He had been absent from the ship ail night. When he return ed that morning he appeared to be in a cheerful frame of mind, and after chatting pleasantly for a time with one of the officers on duty re tired to his state room. A moment later the report of i shot was heard, and when the door of the doctor's cabin was opened, he was found dying from a bullet wound in his temple. His right hand clutch ed the revolver from which the shot was fired.

Mr. Kennan finds that suicide is *ecially prevalent between the 50th od 55th parallels of north latitude, oe number within these parallels eing 172 to the million, and the .rgest number outside being 93 to le million. The annual number of aicides is about 10,000 in the ’nited States and about 7Q.000 in I Europe.
