We have no sympathy with lawbreakKv;
ore, but a serious mistake was made in
prosecuting the men charged with the
lynching of two negroes at Ulmer rel&i::;:
cently, on such flimsy evidence. 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.
Race suicide was the chief topic tabooed
the. other night at perhaps the
L ?* .?! /ftnno,. oror CivPTl in
most uij&u-itf.i uiuu^t v?v. o-. ? ?
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

with safety pins, and the center piece
was a huge stork zealously guarding

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. (
