;* South Carolina is suffering from a
severe attack of nausea just now,
caused by small doses of Blease.
yp-. What will be the result if she gets a
- ?1 1- nlnto
{full dose is ieanui 10 cumemyiatc.
Some people, not unfriendly to the
governor, have intimated very strong'
ly that he is losing his mind. True
'i: his action in a number of matters is
no doubt surprising to his friends,
hut we are inclined to the belief that
he is suffering from a severe attack
kj. of swell head. "A petty parvenue
|p? . clothed with a little brief authority."
An act of the last legislature we
believe required the railroads to
\ - ?quip all their engines on passenger
!p|V trains with electric headlights, yet
we notice that trains of the Southern
Railwav are coming into Bam
{berg every night with the old style
lamps in the headlights, giving a
poor light. If it is a fact that the
railroad is violating the law, i^t
should be prosecuted.
We know for a fact that Blease
has refused to commission good men
as notaries public, the only reason
heing that they were not supporters
of his. The worst part is that no attention
was paid to their applica|p>
tions, although he was notified per^
v sonally that the application would
mo/?Q Thic ic nrottv small husi

ness, and entirely unworthy of the
governor of a great State.
Thos. H. Peeples, a young lawyer
of Barnwell, has announced that he
will run for solicitor of the second
circuit next year. Mr. Peeples is
now a member of the legislature
from Barnwell county. It is thought
that the present solicitor, Mr. Gunter,
will ask for election, and it is likely
that there will be several candidates
in the field. Bamberg county will no
doubt be represented in the list of
candidates.
It is significant that a man who ,
was born and reared in Bamberg
built the new $100,000 hotel in
Spartanburg, which has just been
; - opened to the public in that city. It
shows that people from Bamberg are
progressive and willing to invest
their money. Mr. T. A. Green is the
owner of the new hotel, and his record
as a business man in the city of
success has been one that his many
Bamherg friends are proud of.
"We have no desire to indulge in
captious criticism of the governor,
but we do think it time that some
steps be taken to impeach him for
his misconduct in office. His reckless
release of criminals through an
abuse of the pardoning power and
his high handed refusal to obey the
law in the matter of the commission
ing of special judges warrants such
action. We are not conversant with
the law, but there should be some
method of ridding the State of a governor
who ruthlessly tramples upon
every law when it does not suit his
purpose.
A Misleading Example.
Pat was promenading up and down
a railway platform in a terrible fix,
not knowing what to say to the ticket
agent when he went for his ticket.
Seeing a young lady stroll up to
the ticket agent's window he thought
he would follow and hear what she
had to say. So the young lady called
for her ticket in this way: "Maryport;
single, please." Then, with a
sigh of relief, Pat goes up to the window
and asks for his ticket in this
manner: "Pat Doolan, married" and
two children."
KICKS AGAINST LIQUOR.
Doesn't Believe in Marching to the
Commands of a Liquor Boss.
Rev. Robert Watt, superintendent
of the Easton, Md., district of the
Wilmington Methodist Episcopal conference,
stirred the second day's
session of the annual meeting of thi?
conference in Asburg church when he
read his annual report, which contained
a scathing arraignment of
what he termed a combination of
politics and liquor in a portion of his
district. A part of rural Newcalstle
nrmntv Dp! ia in Dr. Watt's Easton
district, and it is still "wet." Speaking
on the subject, Dr. Watt said;
"Politics proved more potent, as
usual, than love of righteousness,
and the fear of losing a United
States senatorship was more influential
than a desire to exorcise the
whiskey devil. Let us not be too
hard on the political boss, either local
or general. That particular
breed exists and flourishes by the
permission of the voters, many of
whom are nominally, at least, professing
Christians. 1 have found myself
wondering, not for the first time,
however, just how far we are justified
in depending on the nonpartisan
method as a means of settling this
problem of all problems. It seems
to me we had better heed' the voice
of God instead of the voice of policy
as it cries, 'Prepare ye the way of
the Lord.' It seems evident that as
long as we are content, preachers
and people, to march in the ranks
and set partyism above patriotism, so
long will the politician fool us with
smooth promises.
"The time-worn fallacy, 'keep the
saloon out of politics,' is fooling the
saints. When the federal statutes
creating the iniquitous internal laws,
when the laws that license a public
menace are repealed, the saloon will
be out of politics, but not till then.
It is In politics hard and fast. God
knows we would be more than glad
to get out of politics by the repeal of
all the laws that govern this traffic
and by making it unlawful under the
federal constitution either to manufacture
or sell intoxicating liquors.
On the main issue the deliverances
of our church are straight and clear.
It remains but for her ministers and
members to vote as they talk. That
the Methodist Episcopal church could
be a tremendously powerful factor
under suclf conditions cannot be
questioned. May God hasten the
consummation."?Wilmington special

Sunday-School Parade.
Spartanburg, March 29.?With the
streets lined with hundreds of spectators,
a procession of 1,500 Bible class
students marched from the court
house to Converse college this afternoon.
Hymns were sung and the va
nous Danas piayea; a mure iiuyicooive
sight has never been witnessed in
Spartanburg. Men of all classes
composed this ^procession, notable
among them being farmers, college
professors, professional men, the
clerks of the city and members of the
various Bible classes who live in the
mill districts. The second day of the
annual State Sunday-school convention,
now in session here, will mark
an epoch in the history of the#association.
Three of the greatest and
most enthusiastic meetings were
held, besides the wonderful parade
of the Bible students. Among the
notable speakers to-day were Dr. Patterson
Wardlaw of the University of
South Carolina, ex-Governor Martin
F. Ansel of Greenville, Rev. E. 0.
Watson of Columbia, and Mr. H. L.
Erckmann of Charleston. The wofrk
of the tremendous choir of over 200 4
voices is one of the most entertaining
features of the meetings. There
are over 600 delegates to the convention,
representing Sunday-schools in
all denominations in all sections of
the State and also many visitors interested
in Sunday-school work from
all parts of the country. The meetings
in this city have proved the most
successful in the history of the association,
and the convention will
close to-morrow evening after the
most notable gathering in its 34
years' history.
Southern Hospitality.
T had been driving: all day in a re
mote part of southern Georgia, and
at nightfall stopped at a cabin occupied
by one man, says a writer in
the Woman's Home Companion. He
was very cordial and asked me to
spend the night with him. When we
sat down to supper I was somewhat
disturbed to observe that the meal
consisted of a single large dish of potatoes.
Without apology, the man,
with a wave of his hand toward the
dish, said in a loud, hearty voice:
"Stranger, take one."
He paused a moment and continued
in a still louder tone:
"Stranger, take two!"
Another Jhuse, and then even
louder and more earnestly:
"Stranger, take mighty near all
of them!"

BALKS AT NEGRO.
Girl Model Draws Color Line in Chicago
Art School.
Hereafter negroes will be barred
admission to the art classes in Chicago.
The climax to the question was
brought about last week in Chicago
through the following incident related
by the Chicago Tribune:
A beautiful girl model standing on
a raised dais before Boutwood's life
class of men students raised her
hands to her throat and was about
to fling away the long kimona that
draped her figure from the nape of
her softly curved neck to her bare
feet.
As she did so her eyes took in the
men of the class, one by one. At last
they rested on Thomas Downs, a neeiidrlonlv
tho hando whiph
gl L'. i 1IC11 DUUUVU1J HAV UUUUU .. U1V?
had been fumbling with the cord at
her throat paused. A deep flush
spread over the face of the girl.
Turning to one of the men students
in the first room she said in a half
whisper:
"I'll not pose so long as that?
that?black man is in the room. You
must get him to leave if I stay."
Downs was on his feet in an instant.
This was the first time in the
history of the life classes at the Art
Institute that the color line had ever
been drawn. A half dozen other students
stood up when Downs did.
They looked at Downs and Downs
looked at them expectantly. Then
with a muttered protest Downs walked
to and out of the door.
An instant later the kimona had
been tossed away and the work of
the life class was on.
That was all there was to it except
the congratulations and applause
that came to Miss Blanha?that
is the name of the model?after
the class was over; but it marks the
beginning of a new order of things
in the life classes at the Art Institute.
From now on no negroes will
be admitted to the classes in which
girls pose.
There has for a long time been an
undercurrent of protest both among
the students and the models against
compelling beautiful young girls to
pose before negroes. This feeling
never found voice uijtil yesterday.

J. lie JLLl UUCIO n CI V U11U1U l,u uyvuu ?. w fear
of losing their positions, the girl
students remained silent in dtead of
being ridiculed for prudery, and the
men said nothing because it did not
seem a thing for a man to talk about.
; Miss Blanha's action solved the situation.
She did what every one
seemed to want to have done and
what no one seemed willing to do.
Miss Blanha?her first name is
Mamie?lives at 812 Southwestern
avenue. She has been chosen to pose
for the class because of the exquisiteness
of her figure, which is said to
be almost Grecian in its classicalness.
Yesterday was her first appearance
before Boutwell's class.
"The other girls had told me what
I was to expect when I posed before
- - - - i -w??
tnis Class, saia miss Diaium, <mu
how they dreaded to do it. I piade
up my mind that some one would
have to take a decisive stand i the
mater, and as I have personally such
a great aversion to colored men that
it would have been almost impossible
for me to force myself to pose before
one of them, I determined to bring
on a crisis of some sort. I am glad
that matters have turned outeais they
have to take a decisive. sta? in the
gro student I guess every ojp is satisfied."
Kidnapers Get. Baby.
La^ Vegas, N. M., March 31.?
Two masked men forced entrance
into the home of A. T. Rogers, a lawyer,
at 11 o'clock Wednesday night
and compelled Mrs. Rogers to surrender
her two-year-old baby. The
kidnappers left a note for Mr. Rogers
demanding $12,000 in cash if
the parents wanted their baby back
alive and directed that the money
was paid and the child recovered.
One of the kidnappers was partioiiir
iricmfifioH as "npnnifi Hart, a no
C4.11J lUVUtiUvvi bw V| ?
torious postoffice and bank robber,
who recently broke jail at Albuquerque.
Entering the mother's bed room
the two masked men pointed revolvers
at Mrs. Rogers and demanded
the baby. She offered them her
jewels, silverware and other valuables,
but they told her they had
been waiting for months for an opportunity
to steal the little fellow.
She complied.
Almost insane through the fear
that harm would come to her child,
the mother gave no alarm until yesterday
when she secured the money
from local bankers and at the appointed
hour her brother-in-law
drove alone to a remote point in the
mountains 11 miles from Las Vegas,
where the two kidnappers received
the money. He was then directed to
drive 15 miles in the opposite direction
where, in a ravine by the roadside,
he found the little boy wrapped
in blankets and asleep. He returned
the child unharmed to its mother and
not until then were officers informed
of the kidnapping. This gave
the abductors several hours' start.

Gov. Bldfcse Drops Three of Former
Commission.

signed the resolution relating to the
new auxiliary State hospital for the
insane and announced the personnel
of the new commission in charge of
the development of this plant, as follows:
Dr. J. W. Babcock, Columbia;
Dr. Robert Wilson, Jr.,. Charleston;
Mr. Elbert H. Aull, Newberry; Mr.
John F. Floyd, Spartanburg; Mr.
Jas. M. Payne, Anderson. The commission
wil now proceed with the
erection of the building on the site
of about 2,000 acres recently acquired
in Richland county at a cost of
about $4 6,709. For the current year
it has an appropriation of $200,000,
besides an unexpected balance from
last year of about $40,000/
The commission is given unlimited
discretion as to its plans for the new
plant.
Drs. Babcock and Wilson are members
of the commission by virtue of
their offices, the former being superintendent
of the State hospital for
the insane and the latter chairman
of the State board of health.
Messrs. Aull, Floyd and Payne displace
Governor Ansel's appointees,
Messrs. R. O. Purdy, of Sumter; Geo.
u Pmnipr nf Np'whflrrv. and Leroy
Springs, of Lancaster, Gov. Blease
having been quoted as saying some
days ago that inasmuch as he believed
in the Jacksorfian motto, "To the
victor belong the spoils," he purposed
appointing to these three positions
friends of his own.
The New Members.
Mr. Aull, formerly a member of
the house of representatives, is proprietor
of the Newberry Herald and
News and head of several other Newberry
enterprises. He was for years
president of the State Press Association.
]yir. Floyd was formerly
mayor of Spartanburg. He is a
brother to the former Columbian,
Mart Floyd, wno is now postmaster
at Spartanburg. Mr. Payne, not now
in public life, was for nearly 20 years
treasurer of Anderson county. Gov.
Blease said Monday that he understood
all three of these gentlemen
would serve.
The terms of Commissioners Babcock,
Wilson, Purdy and Springs expire
Wednesday; the term of Commissioner
Cromer expires to-morrow.
Law Changed.
Gov. Blease has deliberated long
over the joint resolution, relating to
the new hospital. It was passed
during the last days of the legislative
session, which ended in February.
Originally the resolution automatically
continued in office the original
commission, as appointed by
. V111+ DonrooontativA ("JpO
*jrU V . AUSCl, UUb Xbv^/ivavuvuv.
R. Rembert, of Richland, made
against it the point that it seemed
hardly courteous to Gov. Blease to
command him to reappoint the entire
commission, in the selection of which
he had no voice; and with this view
the legislators agreed. The .resolution
was amended accordingly, so as
to leave Gov. Blease free to appoint
whom he wished, with the recommendation,
however, that he continue
in office the incumbents "if in his
opinion it is wise to do so, because
of the "service of great value to the
State," rendered and the valuable experience
already gained.

Not on Earth. '
A life insurance agent met an
easy-looking individual the other
day, and after a few preliminary remarks
about the weather, out came
the well known little black book.

A Moving Sermon.
"I once had a parishioner who was
a miser," said an English clergyman.
"For this man's benefit I preached
one Sunday a strong sermon on the
necessity of charity, of philanthropy?a
sermon on the duty and the
joy of giving. The miser, at whom
I gazed often, seemed impressed.
"Next day I met him on the street.
" 'Well, John,' I said, 'what do you
think of yesterday's sermon?'
" 'It moved me deeply, sir,' he answered.
'It brought home to me so
strongly the necessity of giving alms
that honestly, sir, I've a great mind
to turn beggar.' "?Dallas Herald.
