The Abbeville Medium of list week
says: "We fell in with two haudsome
young; women from Marlboro and one
of them told lis that Torn C. llamer, of
llennettsville, cierk of the House of
Kepsesentatives. will marry in a very
short time, nnd certainly before the
next meeting; of the General Assemlilv."
Col. Tom Ilnmer's friends an
delighted to learn of his good fortune
and trust that it will not be mauy
moons before they can shower upon
him their hearty congratulations.
In the case of James II. Tillman,
charged with the murder of Editor X.
U. Gonzales, Judge Towusend granted
a change of venue and the trial comes
to Lexington county. The next term
of court convenes the third Monday in
September, with Judge Cave presiding.
We w?nld have preferred the
trial to have gone to some waiter county,
however, a jury of our county
must decide the case, and we feel confident
that a fair vnd impartial trial
will be had. The juries of Lexington
county are proverbial for dealing justice.
That this will be done in this
case we t re quite sure.
T.ast week it was our privilege to
take a Hying trip over to Uishopville,

and hope that fate will prOve

J THE NATION'S CAPITOL.
Our Correspondent Sends
His Weekly Scandal
Report-Other News
Washington, D. CM June 27 .
l'residcnt Roosevelt has announced,
in a beini-otllcial way, that he intends
to stand by tha Postmaster-General
in spite of the popular demand for
t'ayneN resignation, a demand voiced
t?v the boat newapapers in the country,
regardless of party Htltli.it ion. "More
| over, tlie President appears to be
afraid to demand the resignation of
Hand, confidential clerk to the Postmaster
General, although his unfitness
for a place ol trust has btwu olearly
demonstrated, especially in the Hepublican
ipress. To every close ob
server it is obvious that the first wish
of Postmaster-General Payne is to
minimize the seandul and convert the
investigation into a perfunctory inquiry
such as he had in mind when he
first found that some sort of investigation
was inevitable. The determination
of tile President is, however,
regarded with considerable satisfaction
by the Democrats who say that
the people will never be satisfied with
an investigation conducted along the
Payne policy and that they will appreciate
that only a Democratic administration
wilt be willing to lay
bare Ilia ulcers tl at have long fastehed
under ltcpublican administration.
Daring failed in.his efforts to save
Perry Death from hcing smirched as a
coiisi quetice of his official aets, the
Postmaster General, and to a large extent
the Hepublican press, is now trying
to make lilm the scape-goat for all
the corruption which the Tulloch
charges and the IDistow reply revealed.
In till* oonoectlou a bit of inside
history is interesting. Perry
Death was charged with the fulfillment
of seven thousand pledges made
hy Senator Danna during the campaigns
which elected Hauna Senator
and MeKinley President. It was for
the purpose of fulfilling these pledges,
taking cure of Mr. IIanna's debts, that
Mr. Death was made First Assistant
Postmaster General. De did his work
well ;>nrt without qualms of conscience
but now that the facts have become
public Mr. lleath is charged with the
whole responsibility while Mr. Danna
goes free from public censure. It is
only justice, however, to Payne to say
that he went into the Postoflice Department
pledged to take care of
[fauna's friends, those who bad cooperated
with Death and especially
Mac-lien who had, by his manipulation
of the rural free delivery service, saved
many Western Hepublican Congressmen
from defeat. This was the secret
of Payne's attempt, clumsy and misguided,
tint none the less sincere, to
take care of Maclien and bis crowd.
The existence of a mi nature scandal
in the Department uf Agriculture was
i revealed this week by a suit filed iu
I l lie Court of Claims by the New York
! Market <hardeners' Association wutcli
' seeks to recover $16,000 lor nupplyiug

being that the contractor had "lutlueiice"

Assistant Secretary Brigham. This
year the contractor was guilty of even
graver violations ot his contract than
I on the previous occasion and this, notwithstanding
the fact that Secretary
Wilson bus placed a personal friend, a
mail named It. Howie Ho.land, in the
company's warehouse at good pay to
supervise the packing of the seeds,

the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of j
these important organs. This unpleasant |
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as ,
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis- ;

! and both need the same great remedy. '
