Thursday, May 10,1906 ^============= Some innocent up-country newspaper ask the question: "Is the new dispensary board a failure ?" * * * The most universal action of the 'V Tarious county conventions last Monday was the endorsing of some "favorite son" for a State office. * * * * The conditions so far this season have been very unfavorable to the cotton crop. If a short crop means high prices, we ought to realize 12 or 14 cents for cotton this fall. $: < * # * What is doingin the warehouse mauerr Uow is the time to push the securing of subscriptions to the capital stock if the warehouse is to be ready for business this fall. We need and must hare the warehouse. , * * The Walterboro Press and Standard is urging that town to put in waterworks and electric lights, to be owned by the town. Water and light plants should al - ways be the property of the municipalities in which they are located. * * The reports of the various county conventions held last Monday show conclusively that the great mass of our people are not much interested in politics this ^ . year. The farmers are interested in raising ten cents cotton just now. V We see from the daily press that Mr. A. C. Jones, of Newberry, has withdrawn / from the race for governor. We didn't T>_*. know that he was ever m toe race. x>ut we are not one of these fellows who claim to know it all. Seriously though, we believe Mr. Jones is a good man, and we need more of his kind in South Caro* lina politics. E' * * Time passes and yet there is nothing doing towards erecting a freight warebouse at Bamberg. What are our people going to do about it? Will they rest quietly and make no attempt to force the railroad to rebuild? In about three months from now cotton will commence to come to market and fall business will open up. If we are to have proper freight accommodations for the fall season} work ahould begin on the depot and platform Teiy soon. Our citizens can force tne railroad to begin the work if they will, but unless some action is taken we can rest assured that the company will take its own time. Tlie Race Question in the South ' "People of the North do not understand th j. race problem," said an East Side man, who has just returned after spending seven years at Nashville, Tenn. "People who go down there soon come to feel and 11 act just as the Southern people do in the matter, and at that there is a higher sense of honor and a better social atmosphere among the white people of the South than there is in the North. "Only the other day on the street car here I heard a conductor speak to a woman in a manner that would not be tolerated in the South. If such a remark had been made in a street car in Nashville or Atlanta, the fellow would not have got out of that car alive. Indeed, the Southern people would not permit even a colored woman to be treated that way. The Southern people will do more ijr the colored people than a Northerner will. All that they ask is that he keep >?ic Thev will not tolerate the f ?i lea of social equality, for to do so would mean that the white people would have to leave the South. Once they get the upper hand there is no living with then). "I like the Southern people for their kindness and hospitality. They are not as active in business as the people of the North, but they get more out of life. They live as they go along and if a man is in hard luck they will hold him up instead of crowding him to the wall. And thfeir ideas of chivalry toward women suit me. They have a high sense of honor and shoot quick in its defence."?Toledo f Daily Blade, Speaker Cannon believes that the dhly man in New York State who can beat Hearst for the presidency in 1908 is Elihu Root. He made that statement to several members of Congress-and newspapermen on a Pennsylvania avenue car a day or so ago on his way to the capital. He did not, of course, say that Root would have to beat Hearst, but in a comparison of men who are presidential possibilities, he reckoned Hearst's political strength to be such that he could beat any Republican candidate that might be put out by that party to succeed Roosevelt with the exception of Root. The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company has donated 100 acres of land near the city of Florence on which to locate the Stat? reformatory. VEHICLE FOR POLAR TRIP. 4uto Locomotive Mounted on Spirals Invented by Minneapolis Men. A new plan to reach the pole was described in a recent issue of the Minneapolis Tribune. The vehicle to make the dangerous journey is described as an auto locomotive, and l^e inventors are Charles E. S. and Frederick R. Burch. A test of the workings of the device is said to have been made on Lake Calhoun. The auto consists of four large spirals disposed in pairs, forming trucks. Each spiral has an opposite pitch to its fellow, and so is disposed to rotate in an opposite direction, thus engaging the ice at different angles. Over these trucks is constructed a car to nouse uiu explorers. It is the belief of the Burch brothers that the vast stretches of the frozen north are composed of practically smooth- ice, or "rubble," as they call it, and that their device easily can surmount these difficulties. They also have proved, they assert, that the machine can travel through soft snow of considerable depth. The model of the machine is alleged to have made eighteen miles an hour over ice and snow, but no mention is made of the fuel used. Neither is any computation offered as to the amount that would be necessary to make the arctic journey or the manner of housing it. It is said, however, that the machine "practically carves its own track, from which it cannot deviate, and that, unlike the automobile, it is impossible for it to 'skid.'" The Messrs. Burch have combated the rigors of Alaskan exploration, and they say that their experiences In quest of mineral wealth in frozen regions led to their invention and to the construction of a working model. They entertain no doubt whatever that a machine built according to their ideas easily would reach the north pole or even the south pole were It desired, MUCK RAKE SPEECH OPINION Corruption System to Blame More Than Individuals, Says Steffens. Commenting upon President Roosevelt's muck rake speech, Lincoln Steffens, the magazine writer, says in an article In an evening newspaper in Cleveland, according to a dispatch from that city: "If it is understood, the president's muck rake speech will do good, but It was misunderstood when it was first delivered. That was at the speaker's dinner to the Gridiron club in Washington, and the men who heard it then ?statesmen, railroad men, bankers and correspondents?all seemed to think that the president had hit at the magazine writer. "And they rejoiced. Some of them laughed at me, saying the president had taken a fall out of me. But when I asked him about it the next morning be said he didn't mean me. And he told me some of those he did mean. "I disagree with the president only on one fundamental point He wants us to go on 'hunting' bad men, and he shows that he means individuals. The longer I live the more I feel that the individual is not so much to blamenot even the worst individuals, not even the T>est' citizens?as the system of corruption which has grown up about us and which rewards an honest man with a mere living and a crook with all the magnificence of our magnificent modern life." THEATER CAR FOR ACTRESS Innovation to Allow Maude Adams to Rehearse While Traveling. It is announced that Maude Adams, the actress, is to have a private Pullman theater car, which when finished will be the only vehicle of its kind in existence, says the New York Times. The plan is to relieve the actress of some of the Inconveniences of one night stands and long tours across the continent The car when completed is to be a combination of living apartments and a completely equipped theater for the rehearsal of scenes and one act pieces. It will be known as the Tinker Bell and will cost when fully furnished from $25,000 to $30,000. The need of such a car is said to arise from Miss Adams' wish for absomhanrcolo TXrhilA nn toilT iULCJ^ jjiivaic itutu*ou?u of a number of one act pieces which she has long had under consideration. In New York, and particularly on the road, it is sometimes hard to find on short notice an available theater or a clear stage for private rehearsals. The stage part of the ca;r will be forty feet In depth and will have no windows. Grooves for the scenery, which will be admitted into the car by sliding doors at the rear of the stage, take up the usual window space. Daylight can be had, if desired, through ceiling windows. According to the contract, the new car is to be ready for the beginning of Miss Adams' tour next fall. Can Bat Ball Into Three States. Probably in no other part of the United States, except In Hast Liverpool, 0., Is there a baseball diamond from which it is possible to bat a ball into any one of three states, says the TPkT-,1- J.Cl,/.h O -rmiuueiuLua iruunc ucug?. uuu ?. condition actually exists at the grounds which have recently been leased for the Klondike club at East Liverpool. The diamond Is laid out on a lot which is known as the "state line corner." If a batsman makes a hit over third base the ball will be sent into West Virginia. Should a foul tip result the catcher would have to chase the ball into Pennsylvania. If a straight drive or a bunt Is made the ball will bowl into the state of Ohio. Taking advantage of this freak of nature, the Klondike club Is going to advertise the fact that Its club will play ball In three states simultaneously. I :!?-I- -XHr- 'I; :i- :!

Atlanta, Qa. VALUE OF REVIVAL ROOMS. How Titer Hare Helped Evangelical Work In Philadelphia. The "revival rooms," an interesting feature of the Torrey and Alexander religious campaign in Philadelphia, which were recently opened in the Hale building, have proved to be most successful. A man may go there and talk over spiritual things. Men have gone in there burdened with sin and have come out with hearts full of Joy and faces glowing with the light of Christ During the first three days after they were opened four men were converted uuiiigui, live uav&aiiucio n?& and twelve were given spiritual help. Among the visitors are all sorts of people?business men, traveling men, drunkards and criminals. Some of them want to find Christ and others come after advice on spiritual things which have long perplexed them. The man in charge of the rooms. Rev. W. S. Jacoby, is an ideal man for the position, for he is filled with the spirit of God, and his past life as a drunkard, policeman and sailor enable him to cope with all kinds of men in all walks of life. When I asked Mr. Jacoby to tell me about some of the men who have come to him for help he said: "One of the cases dealt with in the inquiry rooms was a gentleman who came in and said that there was something wrong with his Christian experience and wanted to know what It was. He had seen in others an experience which he did not have, and he said, T .want it' For example, he told me of I a young man who worked under him who was a habitual drunkard. The minute his wages were put Into his hands he would go off to the rum shop, and in a little while he would be penniless. He was becoming a hopeless case. One day recently this gentleman was In the Academy of Music, when he noticed in front of him the young man who had been a druntam singing 'Grace Enough For Me,' with such a look on his face as he had never seen there before. He met him shortly afterward and asked what had caused the change, and the former drunkard replied that he had gone one day to the Academy of Music, with his bottle in his pocket, and they had sung 'Grace Enough For Me.' The power of God came down upon him through those words, and he was converted and has since become so active in his work foi Christ that his companions had dubbed him Torrey the Second.' "This gentleman said to me, 'Now, he has got something that I haven't and I want It' After a little conversation the gentleman went away convinced that his trouble had been unbelief, that he had not stepped out on the promises of God and pressed forward in the work for the Master, which will surely bring victory and joy to any soul who is dead in earnest" GEORGE T. B. DAVIS. ROOSEVELT NOW A "FAN." rhc President Get* Pas* and Will See x Ball Gomel. President Roosevelt has promised to attend a few of the American league baseball games this season, says a Washington special to the Philadelphia Press. He has joined the ranks with ? x secretary oaaw, oecrcuury imi, ?jcuator Gorman and a number of other distinguished public men who are lovers of the great American game. He recently promised President Johnson of the American league that he would attend as many games as he could find time for. This promise was made during a visit of the American league president at the White House for the purpose of presenting the president a complimentary pass for the season of 1906 to all games played in the league circuit The passbook is neatly bound in a sealskin case, with the gold monogram "T. R." The printing is all in gold. The passbook is for the president and j "party," thus enabling him to take in with him as many friends as he may desire. German Army Experiment. Three German battalions at Metz arc to experiment with gray and graygreen uniforms, the metal parts being of dull brown. The kaiser is not yel satisfied as to the comparative invisibility of the two shades. "The Mock Rakers." "What are the bugles blowing for?" Bali Lawson-on-Parade. "To turn us out, to turn us out," D, Graham Phillips said. - ?UUa or "What maKes you iook bo wuuc, ? white?" said Lawson-on-Parade. "I'm dreadln' what I've got to hear," J, Lincoln Steffens said. They're exposin' the exposers; It would make your hair turn gray To reflect on what will come when thej expose each expose, When they find a newer frenzy or a treason every day. They're exposin' the exposers In the mornin'. "What makes Charles Russell breathe sc 'ard?" asked Lawson-on-Parade. 'It's bitter cold. It's bitter cold," U. Jungle Sinclair said. "What makes Miss Tar bell look so faint?" said Lawson-on-Parade. "A touch of sun, a touch of sun," S. Hopkins Adams said. They're exposin' the exposers, they're callln' of 'em down. They are huntin' of 'em hotly from New York to Packln'town, They will chuck 'em In a lake & Ink an' let 'em swim or drown; They're exposin' the exposers In the mornin'. "I started all this bloomin' row," said Lawson-on-Parade. "I think Miss Tarbell saw It first," Re> Beach rose up and said. "What's all that noise that shakes the ground?" said Lawson-on-Parade. "It's Teddy Roosevelt's muck rake speech," a pale reformer said. They're exposir.' the exposers, there li trouble In the air, There are Folks and Hadleys comin' from concealment everywhere. And they'll all write stuff and talk, too, when they've got the time to spare; They're exposln' the exposers In the mornin'. ?W. D. Nesbit In New York Times. " f ''-I1 > ' .

Rule" - Senator Tillman's Reputation aa a Race Horse Tipster. After waiting and watching all day I for the psychological moment for an effective butt in, Representative John -Sgj Wesley Gaines at last thought be recognized its familiar outlines rising above the horizon of the lively debate f that was marking the approach of the ' hour set for the vote on the quarantine ! bill the other afternoon, says the Washington correspondent of the New York h :4 Times. He leaped up to meet the opportunity, but for once he was mis- f taken. Instead of a merry recognition ' he got from the speaker a frigid and peremptory turn down. Bang went j the gavel as soon as Gaines began to 7 talk. "The gentleman is not recognized," , calmly remarked Uncle Joe. "The chair desires to recognize the gentleman from Louisiana, Mr. RansdeQ." Ransdell was not looking for the psychological moment at alL He had his | back turned to the speaker's desk and J 1 was busily engaged in private coni versatlon. When his name was called ?pf , he looked around, almost as much sur- . f- ^ prised as was Gaines. Then he slowly ^ ; got to his feet, while Gaines stood for 1 oncA RneeehJess. but before RanadAft could get started Gaines recovered. *-^2 t "I was not aware that the gentleman . ; from Louisiana had asked for recognltion," he said, with withering sarcasm. "i 'SM i Bang went the gavel.

When the joint Republican caucus to organize ^ &. the Republican congressional campaign ; met the other afternoon in the house -V , chamber Senator Allison of Iowa waaf '-MJ|lg in the chair. The first order of bus!- . ness was to elect a successor to Mr. Allison as chairman of the joint for this congress. "Mr. Joseph G. Caqnon of Illinois is put in nomination for chairman," aa~ nounced Mf. Allison. Speaker Cannon was taken by sur-. ' prise and leaped to his feet "Mr. Chairman, I"? "The nomination of Mr. Cannon is ; seconded," continued Mr. Allison. "All , ,||| . In favor say"? "Mr. Chairman," shouted Mr. Can-'- A^^ non, "I cannot"? ? Bang went the gavel ?7 "The gentleman from Illinois Is not recognized." announced Senator AllKvJS: "?5Ut, Mr. unairman," cn?u uie vyvM.- , ySg'jffS er. But his voice was drowned by the v gavel's tattoo. "All In favor say 'Aye."" continued 11 Allison. "The ayes seem to have It The ayes have It and Mr. Cannon will take the "Well," remarked the speaker as he took the gavel from Senator Allison, : "this Is the first Instance of czardom In -; 1 the chair of which I have known on '--JjSj this side of the capital." Senator Tillman of South Carolina ^ has gained a reputation as a race hone tipster, and his "one best bet" went through recently at Bennlngs, says the i New York World's Washington conespondent The senator Is unconscious of having-picked the winner in the third race, but he did. "I am tired of all this hocus poena," the senator declared in a speech. /||5s "What we want is action. This hocus pocus has gone on long enough." "Hocus Pocus! That's the tip!" agreed - the wise ones around the senate. A - pool was made up among the pages and employees, and a good sized bet' Jig| was sent to Bennlngs and played on Hocus Pocus. Hocus Pocus won at . 1 odds of 6 to 1. Representative Sulzer of New York ; ^ > was standing in the marble room of the senate lost in reflection over some' thing he had just been saying to SenaI tor Patterson of Colorado, says the New York Times. To him there came ? i r one of those chipper and irreverent senate pages. "Mister," said the audacious child,- </|tf i "how much is three times five and four ; times two?" jfZ , "Why, let me see," said Mr. Sulzer, . coming out of his reverie. "That to V-vil ?why, if s twenty-three"? "For you!" chortled the urchin, and seven of his comrades popped their beads around the doorway and joined ^ gleefully in the chorus. "Flint," said Senator Dolliver the other afternoon, yawning and stretch- y^jgjj ing over toward the California sena- . , tor, "you are going to speak tomorrow, aren't you?" "Why, no, what makes you think so?" "Well, Stone is going to speak, and fhnneht vou mizht hit him up a bit and - make the sparks fly." ; >7| Stamping: Manx Letter# Per Xlnnte. A new stamping machine for letters ^ 1 has recently been tested at the Berlin postoffice. The machine has been con- f structed by the Norwegian mechanic ; ^ Krag. It is operated by electricity and works so fast that it is said to stamp 1,800 letters per minute, which would make 108,000 letters per hour.
