Thursday, October 10,1901. .. ^ Walter Hazard, Esq., of Georgetown, nrc uuucidvauu uod cutcicii tut 1 ate iui Judge of the Third Circuit. He is a good mail but one hardly suited for the position of Judge. As the race now stands, R. O. Purdy, of Sumter, is by long odds the best man for the place, and if the contest is finished between the candidates now announced, Purdy will be the next Judge of that Circuit, ! Asbury C. Latimer, who disgraces a seat in congress from South Carolina, is in deep water. The Yorkville Enquirer a few weeks ago made the charge that he used his privileges as a member of the house to act as agent for a photograph enlarging concern. The Enquirer sent Latimer a copy of the paper and offered to give space for his denial and he did not deny the charge. Now the same paper charges that this2x4 statesman acted as agent for a big railway trunk line in the distribution of free passes to the members of the house. One congress?!pu man refused a pass from Latimer. The Enquirer says it has the proof of its charges. SOME ADVANTAGES.

Wilie Jones, of Columbia, who wanted to run for United States Senator, but who never had nerve enough to announce his candidacy, has written the following letter to the newspapers, withdrawing from the race and suggesting that Wade Hampton be nominated without opposition. Here is the article: "I have concluded not to enter the race for the United States senate next year, - because I feel that I cannot give up my home business interests, unless there be a special demand for it. I have a very large personal acquaintance with the Democrats of this State. Judging from letters received and many personal interviews I feel satisfied that my chances for the nomination to this distinguished position would have been fully as good as that of any candidate whose name is now mentioned in connection with the senatorship. I would have no political fear to run against any man in this State except two, namely, Senator Tillman and Gen. Hampton, because I believe either of them could beat me or any other man in the State. ^ "By the way, I think the very best solution of the senatorial contest "would .... ?1.? in; 1UI ~<hii ui iuu j isuiig men wuu aii uwn candidates for the place to announce their withdrawal 011 the condition that Gen. "Wade Hampton accept the position and let the old general be elected without opposition. "Without any reflection upon any candidate now in the field I believe that Gen. Hampton's views on national politics meet with the approval of practically all the Democrats in the State. Such a happy and gracious event as the selection of Gen. Hampton at this particular time would make the Democratic party of this State absolutely irresistable and save us of much agitation and feeling when there is so much else for our people to do. "I happened in 1ST? to be one of the six Democratic boys who carried Gen. Hampton 011 our shoulders from the plat lorra where lie was inaugurated mrougn the streets of Columbia to the hotel, and today again it would be my great pleasure to cooperate in elevating him to this high position, because I believe it would be for the good of the great Democratic ! party of my State."

"Washington, October 2.?President Roosevelt will have ample opportunity to become familiar with samples of the ; rank and file of the Republican party in Georgia and South Carolina while he hesitates about selecting collectors of inter- I ual revenue front those two States. Col- i lector Rucker's term has about expired, and the Georgia Republican organization is urging his reappointment. There are several other candidates in the field, who , claim that a negro has had the ofiice for < four years, and now it is time to give a white Georgia Republican.a chance to sec what he can do with one of the best Fed- j eral offices in the State. Two new candi- | dates were formally announced to-day. . They are W. II. Winn, of Atlanta, and 1 Caster Terrell, of Covington. Just prior ; to the death of President Me Kin ley the . friends of Collector Rucker felt confident ( j that he would be recommended without ) serious opposition. Now it appears that , a strong fight will be made to replace him with a white Republican. < In South Carolina the scramble for the , internal revenue collcctorship is even ! more general than in Georgia.

He had a talk with Gen. M. C. Butler last evening and assured him that his appointment is certain.

Barnwell, < October 1.?The James Overstreet, member of Congress from South Carolina, w ho is inquired about by a North Carolina correspondent, was from Barnwell county. His daughter, Mrs. Crawley, a lady over DO years of age, died last January within a half dozen miles of Barnwell, and was exceedingly sprightly and bright of intellect for a ladv of her age.

Camden, October (>.?A tragedy was enacted at the Camden Cotton Mills this morning at o o'clock. The marriage relationship of Harry Marcus and his wife, Hattic, had been anything but pleasant. He would frequently get on sprees and heat his wife outrageously, and lie had served a sentence on the county chain gang for whipping his wife. In the early part of the year he broke out of jail and liberated several other prisoners at the same time. His wife, who lias two small girls, is a laborer at the Camden Cotton Mills. This morning Marcus called at the house at 5 o'clock with another man and his wife says she admitted him to get his trunk upon the promise that he would not bother her. As soon as he came in he began cursing and threatening lier, and liis wife says he advanced toward lier with an open knife. She ? ^ t /\ or/\J/l Kim VYL'lll Hi IU aili'tllCl 1\JKI111 vv/ uvv/xu uxiu, but being followed by her linsband, who had so often ill treated her, she fired a pistol at liini, thinking he would stop. She says she did not try to hit him when she fired first, but as he kept 011 after her she aimed the pistol at his body, a 32ealibre pistol, the ball taking effect just above the breast bone, near the neck. He walked off a few steps and said "I'm killed," and with this fell to the ground dead. Magistrate Moore empanelled a jury of inquest. B. A. Clanton, an eye-witness, testified that Marcus, when he first went into the house, kissed his wife and asked for his baby, but when he returned the second time he did not see what took place, but heard the fuss going on. The verdicc of the jury was in accordance with above facts. Mrs Marcus has been committed to jail. Capt M. L. Smith has been retained to defend her. Application for bail Avill be made for the defendant. What's Your Face Worth.'

A religious old darkey had his faith badly shaken not long ago. He is sexton for a white church in a Fayette county town, and one afternoon as he was in front sweeping the pavement a strong wind arose, tearing a piece of the cornice oil and taking a few bricks out of the wall. Realizing that a good run was better than a poor stand, the old man sought shelter in the station house on the opposite side of the street. Several minutes later a member of the church of which Uncle Isham is sexton came by and noticing him in his retreat, remarked that he thought the station house a strange place for a man of faith to seek shelter in a storm when a house of worship was near. "I)at's so, but wliut's a man gwine ter to do when de Lord begins to frow bricks at 'im?" Stepped Into Live Coals. "When a child I burned my foot frightfully," writes W. II.

Its author should be stamped as a child of genius: 'Girls is grate on making believe. She will make believe a doll is a baby.

"The experiment of taking men from lie interior states for service in the navy las, in the main, been a successful one," said the naval otlieer who is on leave of luty, "although it is exasperating work ireaking them in.

One day during my watch 1 me of the new men came shuttling up, aid. without going through the formality if saluting, blurted out: " I can't do it alone, mister!' '"Can't do what?' I asked, taking in he situation. "Why, one of the chaps ordered me to 1 veigh the anchor, an' 1 can't lift it alone! )urn it all, 1 don't even know where the : cales are." ! When Advice was Risky. Many have heard the story of the two Norwegian brothers. One of them was on the boat when she started out. She was thirty feet from the dock when the other brother came rushing down, just a few seconds too late. The one on board leaned over the railing and shouted: "Yump, Oil, Yump; you can make it in two yumps." This authentic Detroit instance is alike with a difference. <)nc Michael McNoian a sewer contractor in the pork department, was giving his folks an outing during a general celebration and chose the Tashomo as the means of transportation. On the way to the boat Michael dropped into beer shops every little while to light his pipe. That was his explanation, at least, and the more he fired kis dhiuleen the less disposition it showed to burn, except between beer signs. The family were all comfortable on the upper deck and watching for the liege lord and paymaster when the much in erv beenn to work and the hont to move. It was rive feet away when the belated passenger appeared, his face reel and his pipe working like a smoke-stack. He stood on the edge of the dock, steadying himself and swinging his arms to give impetus to a jump, when the good wife issued an order: "Git back, Moike, git hack, and make a good run for the jump. Ye/ can never make it stand in'." Mike obeyed. By the time he made his run the boat was 20 feet otF, but he made a gallant effort, went out of sight in his best store clothes for a bathing suit and came up spitting out water and things profane, for which a later explanation would be required. He scorned life preservers showered upon him, dove down and brought up his pipe, swam to the side of the boat, and when safely aboard demanded a reduction in fare.

At a small country church a newly married couple were just receiving some advice from the elderly vicar as to how they were to conduct themselves and so always live happily. "You must never get cross at once; it is the husband's duty to protect his wife whenever an occasion arises, and a wife must love, honor and obey her husband, and follow him wherever he goes." "But, sir?"pleaded the bride. "I haven't yet finished," remarked the clergyman, annoyed at the interruption. "She must?" "But, please, sir," (in desperation), "can't you alter that last part? My husband is going to be a postman."

Deceased leaves several brothers and sisters and a host of friends to mourn her untimely death, for those who knew her knew hut to love. The body will be laid in its last resting place to-morrow, Wednesday, in the cemetery at Bamberg.

An old tourist was taking a live alligator home from Florida. He had one about three feet long in a box. This was much too large for the road, according to the ideas of the negro porter in the car, and he kept his eye on it all the time. He begged the man to put it in the baggage car, but he would not. The lady passengers were all in the lower berths, and the 'gator was shoved under one of them. It was about midnight and all was serene, when the porter looked in and saw the alligator creeping along the tloor. He raised the yell: "Alligator's ont, alligator's out!" and broke into the smoking room and shut the door. Everybody was awakened and much confusion reigned.
