When a man is carried into court on such a serious charge there should be some sub. < aUntial evidence against him. However, lynchers might as well make up their minds that an attempt will be made to enforce the law in all cases. For our part, we have not the slightest . 7 Interest in the financial affairs of the Honarable "Hubbie" H. Evans, of Newberry, -chairman of the State board of dispensary directors, but in view of the general sus - 1 picion attaching to the board which seems hv the oeoDle crenerallv. it I would be a good idea for him not only to | be willing but to ask for the closest scrutiny into what he was worth when he went on the board and now. If he can show that his property increase has nothing to do with the dispensary and was honestly gained, he has nothing to fear from such an investigation. By objecting to the investigation he does himself damage with those who are not his enemies. The investigation should go on, however, and the whole truth should come out, no matter who objects. The committee owes a duty to the people of the . State and they should perform it fearless\ ly. The matter is not one of sentiment, but of stern duty. The Commercial Spirit. This newspaper has had occasion to heretofore remark upon the idea our congressmen seem to have of their duties in congress. It is little wonder that they are paying more attention to appropriations than anything else when even the ? newspapers hold views like the following, taken from Progress, a newspaper published at Union: "Mayor Mahon, of Greenville, has announced that he will oppose Bon. Joseph T. Johnson in the race for congress. * It It up to Congressman Johnson to show what he can do in the way of getting a fine Federal building and a free delivery . for Union, and not simply think that a few rural delivery routes and packages of seeds Will suffice?that is if he wants the support of Union county people the coming summer." The people themselves are to blame Yery largely in this matter.. Even if a congressman wanted to devote his time to the greater affairs of the nation, his - constituents would not allow him to do Ik ? bo. Our congressmen Have aegeneratea Into financial agents, and their time is taken up with appropriations for public ; -r I lmildings, getting government jobs for people in their district, and other matters which they should not be bothered with. It is high time more statesmanship and less greediness was displayed. South Carolina Heroes. "I notice in Monday's issue of vour paper," said a historian of wide refute, "an article to the effect that Colonel Travis, wf Alamo fame, resided in Montgomery, b?t was a native of South Caro"A Montgomery county boy was also among the heroes of the Alamo. His same was W. C. P. DuBose, a native of Darlington, S. C. He was an orphan \ who came to this state and county with relatives and subsequently removed to Marengo county. Young DuBose was only 18 years old when a company rendezvoused at this town to take the boat to Mobile on its way to fight for Texas r against Mexico. He enlisted as a private in that company, and shared the fate of Col. Travis. "The State of Texas made a grant of land to each of the victims of the Alamo massacre, or rather to the soldiers that P -*}. comprised her independent army. The grant that young DuBose was entitled to was divided, as to most of it, among his nearest relatives only, within the last ten years. It comprised many hundreds of acres."?Montgomery Advertiser. _ ? Bad Negro Children. Anderson, Feb. 11.?Two small negro children of Mary Childs have been lodged in jail charged with having committed a murderous assault upon their mother. The woman lives several miles below the city. While sleeping alone in the room with her two children she was beaten about the head and body and was found i nnnoneoialio f kn nnvf in au uuwuquvuo vvuuiiiuu iuv uvai morning. Her wounds will probably result fatally. The children deny any knowledge of the affair, though sleeping in the same room with their mother. Her daughter, who is held by the authorites, was sleeping in the same bed but professes to be entirely ignorant of the assault. The woman's husband was away from home at the time. The affair will be fully investigated. COURTSHIP OF MISS ROOSEVELT I How Congressman Longworth Wooed President's Daughter. INCIDENTS OF THRILLING EO MANGE Member of Secretary Taft'i Philippine Party Saya the Woo in* Began on Way Acrosa Pacific. and Engagement Waa Finally Admitted?Heroic Reacna by Bridegroom to Be?tain Datto'a Fine Gift. \ All through the long trip to the far east which Miss Roosevelt and Congressman Nicholas Longworth took with the Taft expedition to the Philippines last summer the attention of the party, especially of the women, was Intently focused upon the young couple. From one of the members of the party the New York Journal obtained sundry personal recollections of incidents on the way In which Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Longworth figured. Some of these are printed below: "It speaks well for the women of the Taft party that they were able to keep a secret so well, for all of them knew before the voyage back to San Francisco was ended that Mr. Longworth had proposed to Miss Roosevelt and bad been accepted. "Miss Roosevelt was under the strict chaperonage of four women of mature years, and naturally they were keen to know if their Judgment was to be confirmed, because they were all morally certain before we had been at sea a day on the outward trip that Mr. LongwOrth was an ardent suitor. So no one was very greatly surprised one day when Miss Roosevelt appeared with a new ring. Rather it was an old one, for it has been in the Longworth family for years. It is a single sapphire set in a band of plain, dull gold. " 'Yes,' said Miss Roosevelt blushing, but frank enough, when she saw the women looking at the ring, 'I've promised.' "She insisted that the engagement must hp nnannounced until her father and mother had been consulted. Of course every one agreed. "Mr. Longworth1 s wooing wasn't altogether a bed of roses. He didn't merely have to ask once. I know that He had to do some coaxing. He was frankly jealous too. "While we were in California there was a French count in the French diplomatic service who was devoted to Miss Roosevelt Mr. Longworth did not fancy the friendship a bit and he showed it Oh, he was jealous all right! There was a dance one night and the Frenchman and Mr. Longworth had a sedate race to Miss Roosevelt's side to beg the honor of a dance. Longworth got there a little ahead, but Miss Roosevelt gave her arm to the count "'Run away and play,' she said laughingly as she floated off with the count. "Longworth became interested in the prettiest gfrl at the party and let Miss Roosevelt severely alone for the rest of the night They made up the next day^ though. 1 "Like most of the younger men of the party, Longworth wore white ducks and flannels when we were In the hot climate going down through the islands. He liked to sport a brilliant red necktie?the reddest red I ever saw ?which did not suit the critical eye of Miss Roosevelt "She frequently bantered him about it and entreated him to take it off, but he wouldn't. At Hongkong she bought a tie for herself, redder and more violent if anything than Longworth's. "Red isn't especially becoming to her, but she put on the tie next day and announced that she intended to wear it until Longworth surrendered. He weakened, and both ties were consigned to the deep. "We all got a scare at Jolo on account of Longworth. The youngsters were bathing In the ocean one afternoon, and a newspaper man of the name 01 uunen got caugnx m tne undertow. He tired quickly and was being carried out to sea when Longworth look after him and brought him in. It was a risky situation because he had to buck the tide to get to shore, which was a big enough job in itself without having a helpless, floundering man to tow. "Miss Roosevelt, with the other women, had gone ashore at the first alarm. Most of them were crying and wringing their hands, but she didnt She stood knee deep in the water, leaning forward with her bands clinched and her face pale. But not a sound came from her. When it was all over and everybody was patting Longworth on the back and telling him what a hero he was she walked away. "In a minute she came back. Her eyes were red. All she said to Longworth was: " *My, what a brave young man! Aren't you afraid you'll get your name In the newspapers?' "I guess she said something more that night, because they had one end of the veranda to themselves for a long while. It was a mighty fine night, too; lots of moonlight, and we had a bunch oi urue Drown men op sereuauing as with guitars and singing Spanish lore songs. "After seeing the pair together for a time every one agreed that they were just suited for each other. Their individuality Is sufficiently different to make one a fofl for the other, but they have a good many taste* in common. But they couldn't agree on colors. Miss Roosevelt dislikes yellow, while Longworth likes it. On the contrary, she likes green, against which Longworth has a strong prejudice. "While we were in Tientsin the empress of China, whom we were on our way to visit, set apart for our accom-' modatlon a big palace. Sedan chairs were provided in which to tote us around. All of them were green, except Mies Roosevelt's, which was yellow. The minute she saw it she proposed a swap. " 'All right You take my green one,' said Longworth. 'I don't like green, but I can stand yellow. I'll ride in your yellow chair.' "But our Chinese escort wouldn't hear of It Yellow, they explained, was the color of royalty, and only Miss Roosevelt, the American princess, could ride in a yellow sedan chair without fracturing precedents and customs that bad obtained In the Flowery Kingdom since Confucius was a baby. So the swap was declared off, although Miss Roosevelt tilted her nose every time she climbed into the yellow chair. > "While we were in Bulu we ran acroM an np to date datto, the Datto Jok&mxnhL He wore a ping hat and a celluloid collar, although the temperature was well np toward a hundred. He was the beat na tared, perspiring fat man I ever saw. Some one had placed him en rapport with the situation, and one afternoon he lumbered np to where Mlaa Roosevelt was domiciled to pay his compliments. He could cackle a little English, and his manners were very impressive. "When he got ready to leave he lugged out a box In which there were several fine pearls. With great dignity he bestowed them upon Miss Roosevelt and, grinning all over his face, said: " *Por Princess Longworth.' "Some one must have put him up to it I suspected Taft" STORK DINNER IN SOCIETY. Novel Entertainment Held For Young St. Lonls Matrons.

America?certainly the most novel in St Louis?at which Mrs. Charles T. Jones, mother-in-law of City Attorney Maurice Jones of East St Louis was the hostess, says a St Louis special to the New York\Press. Mrs. Jones the elder entertained six young matrons at a stork dinner, as she called it and so admirably did she carry out the idea that no other term would fit it All the half dozen young matrons who were her guests had been married about half a year. They were schoolmates ind grew through girlhood together. Mrs. . Jones had kept a motherly eye on them from their respective wedding days, and she concluded a few days ago the time had arrived for her social coup. Painted by hand on every invitation was a flying stork. That was a hint so the guests were not amazed on arriving in Mrs. Jones' luxurious home to find it redecorated for the occasion, with the wide wings of the portentous bird fluttering In all directions. Nor did the idea end there. Each youthful matron found at her plate a paper crib. Over every cradle a tiny stork dangled a tinier cherub. As each favor in turn was lifted, the baby fell into Al?

All the napkins were folded with safety pins, and the center piece was a huge stork zealously guarding the welfare of en Imitation of an in-' fant In swaddling clothes. The menu consisted of the following dishes: Baby food soup, crib celery, milk fed chicken, gocart potatoes, Castorla sauce, paregoric salad, baby curl candy, nuts, with safety pins as picks, paddy cake and I-scream. Ail of the young matrons were school-, mates and were married In a circle of their own, several of them acting as bridesmaids of the old chums, only to be led to the altar soon after by men who had acted either as best men or ushers at the previous weddings. CORDUROY PANTS A BADGE. University of Missouri Agricultural Students Adopt a New Style. Students of the agricultural college of the University of Missouri have adopted corduroy trousers as a badge of their department, says a dispatch from Columbia, Mo., to the Kansas City Star. Practically every student of the college, from short course students, commonly known as "short horns," to seniors, wears trousers made of this serviceable material. The stores In Columbia, mo., that ao a mall order tailoring business have been besieged the last few weeks with orders for corduroy trousers, and some of the farmer students have gone so far as to procure and wear to the daily recitations whole suits of the material. The fad has met with the approval of the other departments, especially the 1 engineering, with the result that many , other students have copied the dress of the farmers. One fraternity, composed largely of agricultural students, recently turned into a mall order house an order for twenty-five pairs of corduroy trousers.
