Brown, of the Barnwell Sentinel, is a warm supporter of G. Duncan Bellinger in his race for congress, and seems to lay great stress on Mr. Bellinger's record as Solicitor in prosecuting the Broxton Bridge lynchers. We would like to ask why did not Mr. Bellinger prosecute the Denmark lynchers? We were not living in this county at the time, and ask purely for information and not in a spirit of criticism. A. C. Latimer, who is a candidate for United States Senator, is reported in the papers as saying in his speech at Laurens that the crowd which cheered McLaurin at Anderson would have cheered a black negro. It is to be hoped he was incorrectly quoted, for it seems to us no decent white man in South Carolina would have so low an opinion of his fellow-citizens. If Latimer has such an opinion as that of the hard-working, honest people of South Carolina, he is not so good a man as a good negro, and is certainly unworthy to bold any office. The Exposition Magazine, in its current issue, publishes an article on the negro department of the Charleston Exposition, and along with the article appear the pictures of the negro men and women who have charge of this department. In looking over the pictures, we were struck with the fact that not one of them is a full-blooded negro. All of them appear to have a good deal of white blood, some more than others. In justice to their race they ought to have one full-blooded negro among the number, if one with sufficient intelligence is to be had. ? Let us hope that the day will finally come when county auditors and county boards of equalization will do their duty in the matter of tax returns. It is a notorious fact that much property is not re? ' turned at all and a great deal of it too low, yet no county auditor has the nerve to say to a man making such a return: "Make a higher return than that or I shall be forced, as a matter of duty, to call the attention of the county board to ' it." If auditors and boards of equalization would do their dutyr lots of the tax dodgers would be forced to bear their just proportion of the burdens of government. T ** If it is true that Judge O. W. Buchanan will not offer for re-election as Judge of the judicial circuit over which he presides at present, the lawyers and interested citizens should see to it that another candidate i? in the field, in addition to those already mentioned. For, with all due respect to the gentlemen announced as candidates, we do not think cither of them is well qualified for the position of judge. There is a good lawyer iu that circuit who would make a good judge, but we doubt if he could be induced to run. This man is Joseph F. Rhane, of Manning. He is a thorough lawyer, a christian gentleman, and would certainly grace the bench of South Carolina. g* x There has been considerable speculation as to whether Senator McLaurin N would have the influence with President Roosevelt that he had with President McKinle)*, and we notice that McLaurin's enemies seemed to be the ones chiefly -interested. They think, like all cheap politicians, that the popularity of a man or his ideas depends on whether he can get plums for his followers. It seems that the Junior Senator will still be the power in Washington that he has been in the past, and will be able to do his section some good, but "Commercial Democracy," as some have pleased to call it, goes beyond a few political jobs, and is not de\ pendent for success on a few postmasterships or other Federal positions. In fact, many of the most prominent advocates of N McLaurin's ideas could not l?e induced to accept any political office. They advocate these policies because they are patriotic, love their State and countrj', and believe theifi to be the best policy for South Carolina. A gentleman writing in last week's issue of the Sumter Watchman and Southron, in advocacy of the proposed new Lee county, quotes Bamberg as having a tax levy of only three mills, he seeming to argue from this that smaller counties re duce taxes. We do not care to mix up in the new county light, but it is entirely wrong that smaller counties mean lower taxes. It is true that Bamberg has a tax levy of only three mills at present, but we are badly in debt, and have had to borrow money every year since the county was formed. It will take about a six mills levy next year to put our county on a cash basis, and it has been fully demonstrated that we cannot run on a three mills tax. It should be remembered, too, _ * that this county has five dispensaries within its borders, and the county's share of the profits last year was something like $4,000. In addition to this, we have a large railroad mileage, and this helps us materially in the matter of taxation. The Seaboard Air Line, Southern Hailway, and Atlantic Coast Line all run through this county, and we have as well the American Telephone and Telegraph Company's lines, the Postal Telegraph Company, and the Western Union Telegraph Co. With all this property, our tax levy ought to be low. It is very well to argue for smaller counties on the matter of convenience, but the lower taxes or even equal taxes proposition will not do. nor will it hold good. Cuts aim Bruises Quickly Healed.

Sumter, September 28.?As there has !>een considerable discussion in reference to the probable attitude of Judge Buchanan in the race for judge of the third circuit, whether or not he would stand for re-election, your correspondent interview ed him to-day, and in answer to the question, "Is it true, judge, that you expect to retire from the hench alter your present term expires, as has been rumored for the last few years?" he stated: "Yes, J have made up my mind to that effect. Many reasons have moved me to this conclusion. I have observed the helplessness of circuit judges upon their retirement from the bench after serving three or four terms. I am now in my 43d year. If elected, as I am now assured I would be were I to offer for re-election at the end of the next term I would be beyond 47 vears of age, and with nothing saved. To leave the bench at that time or a later time I could not in the nature of things commence a professional career with any hope of success, for my energy and industry would then be gone even if I had the inclination to work. "This is my time to quit. The public has a wonderfully exaggerated idea about the income of a circuit judge. They know nothing of the outgoes and various demands upon him by reason of his official position." I also asked the judge: "Are not all the other circuit judges to be elected at the approaching session of the general assembly?" "I think five circuit judeges are to be elected and one associate justice of the supreme court. And if they desire they will doubtless be re-elected as they deserve to be. I know of no body of men of any department of the government that more properly deserve re-election than circuit judges." An Outrage in Colleton. Walterboro, Sept. IS.?The community around Ruffins, in this county, is [ very much wrought up over an attempt : at rape near there yesterday afternoon. | About 4 o'clock in the afternoon a big burly negro named Jake Bostick, as he | was passing the home of Mrs. Ann Crosby, seized Mrs. Crosby's little 13-year-old daughter Daisy and attempted to rape her in front of her gate. The cries of the child and screams of Mrs. Crosby frightened the negro off, so that he did not complete his dastardly act. The family and friends of Mrs. Crosby were notified and soon a mob was in search of the scoundrel. They scoured the country for miles, but did not succeed in catching him. It is said that if he had been caught last night no mercy would have beeu shown him, but that he would have been swungto the first tree. Howev"> tl?.? laoilorc i\f tlw? rrnwil orn nwir<> / ??<?!

Bnehaiian May Withdraw. On good authority it is stated that Judge O. W. Buchanan will not stand for re-election to the bench in the third judicial circuit. One of his friends in another count)' has made the positive assertion that Mr. Buchanan would withdraw. However there is nothing oflicial, savs the Florence Times. The paucity of votes he received as a candidate for congress in the seventh district has probably influenced to some extent his determination to stand aside. Judge Buchanan has been criticised a good deal for entering the congressional race while still judge. A great many have said he should have resigned before announcing his candidacy. Prominent politicians throughout the State, even those who are responsible for the act, are criticising the election of judges to fill positions in one district while they reside in another. Three judges have been thus elected, and these have been injured in their political prospects somewhat on this account. The withdrawal of Mr. Buchanan, if announced, lcavas three prominent candidates in the race for judge in this circuit: George Galletly, of this city, and T. B. Fraser and R. O. Purdy, of Sumter.

Bartow Warren Case. In the Orangeburg correspondence of the News and Courier we find the following in reference to the case of Bartow Warren, who was to have been tried for the express robbery: Bartow Warren, who was expected to stand trial again at this term for the famous Fifty-Eight express robbery, has not beon captured since he recently murdered the principal witness against him in that case. Rumor has it that he is still in the neighborhood of Branchvillc and will soon be apprehended. No indictment for murder will be given out against him at this term, but a Bench warrant has been issued for him and an order passed directing his sureties to show cause why his bond should not be estreated. His bond, for $1,500, was given by a gentleman in Orangeburg, who is said to be secured by a mortgage on the property of a person in Branchvillc, who has been befriending Warren since the express robbery was committed.

WashlN?iToN, I). C'.. Sept. lb.?Aluon g Soutli Carolina people there has been considerable discussion as to t lie probable policy of President Roosevelt, and the opinion has been expressed in some quarters that the intiuenee of the McLaurin element in South Carolina may not hi- as strong with the new president as it was with President MeKinley. Tin- time, however, is too early to predict what the probable Southern policy of President Roosevelt may be. The indications, however, do not point to any reversal of tinlate president's Southern policy in tinslightest degree. The new president has declared that he will follow the policy ot President MeKinley and it is stipjio.-ed "by this be means his Southern. a> well as his foreign policies. Moreover the fact that he lias requested the old cabinet, ami also Private Secretary Cortelyou to remain in ofliee. will aid the McLaurin people in South Carolina. The influence of Senator McLaurin is strong with the cabinet officials, and he will, it is safe to say, continue to be strong with the government officials. Having the inlluenee of the cabinet, and private secretary, and government officials on his side, thenis no reason for believing that there w ill be any overturning of tiie political conditions now existing in South Carolina. Moreover Senator McLaurin lias known Vice President Roosevelt personally since the latter became president of the senate, and their relations have always been, it is reported, very cordial. Whatever else may be said of President Roosevelt, it has always been known that he is a man whose friendships are strong and lasting and Senator McLaurin will doubtless continue to be a frequent and welcome visitor at the executive mansion as he has been in the past.

"The president," says Senator McLaurin "spoke beautifully and tenderly of the southern people, and of how he intended to use the power and influence of his great office to reunite our country. "I can recall the words, but who can paint the earnestness and eloquence as, raising of one hand on high, he said: 'Senator, by the help of God, I propose to be the president of the whole country, the south as much as the north; and before the end of my term the south will understand this.' "No wonder, as a true southern man, I loved and trusted President McKinley. I stood by him in the senate and elsewhere and I thank God that I did. "Patriotic in purpose, and pure in heart his noble soul is now with Ilim whom the hate of man nailed to the cross.
