The inaugural cost about $63,000,
wihch it is believed has been fully repaid
in the sale of grand stand seats
and ball tickets. The guaranty fund
subscribed by Washington merchants
and business men will thus be returned.
Everything but the actual ceremoies
were in charge of the inaugural
committee, composed of Washington
residents, and headed by Brigadier
General John M. Wilson, U. S. A., retired,
appointed for that purpose by
Chairman Cortelyou, of the Republican
national committee.
The broad plaza whose level surface
stretches east from the national capitol
can accommodate an army. For
hours Saturday morning Washington
poured its own population and a vast
increment of visitors into the front
yard of the seat of government. From
the porticos and windows of the eapitol
building a good idea of the scope
of the multitude could be gathered.
Eight acres of humanity spread fan*shaped
from the focus made by a little
covered shelter, open at the sides,
where the President was to stand. Over
toward the imposing facade of the Congressional
Library it extended, literally
a "sea of faces." There may have
been only 50,000; probably there were
nearer 100,000 in sight of the President
B'hpn hp tnolr the oath.
Stands on the central portico, ex!
tending to the tribune wj^rein the ceremony
occurred, covered an acre. From
the central entrance of the capltol to
the seats of honor surrounding the
pagoda-like tribune was laid a carpet
of crimson plush. Long before the ceremonies
in the Senate, where Vice President
Fairbanks was taking his oath
of cfSLce, was concluded, most of the
reserved seats had been filled by ticket
holders.
All in all it was the grandest pageant
ever witnessed on American soil.
The ceremonies were simple but soiema
and impressive. The order was excellent,
the weather was fine and the
exercises were dispatched without a
hitch.
At a sign from Chief Justice Fuller,
the clerk of the Supreme Court stepped
forward, holding a Bible. A hush
fell over the crowd. The President
raised his hand, and the oath to support
the laws and constitution of the
United States was revently taken
amid deep silence. When this had been
concluded, there was practically no demonstration,
and the President began
his inaugural address. As soon as he
finished speaking, he re-entered the
capitol, and as he disappeared within

The expiration of the old Congress
and the beginning of the new was witnessed

took the oath as Vice President and
made his address as follows:
VICE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
Senators: I enter upon the discharge
of the duties of the position to which
I have been called by my countrymen
with grateful appreciation of the high
'honor and with a deep sense of its
teeponsibilities. I have enjoyed the
privilege of serving with you here for
eight years. During that period we have
been engaged in the consideration of
many domestic questions of vast importance
and with foreign problems of
unusual and farreaching significance.
We submit what we have done to the
Impartial judgment of history.
I can never forget the pleasant relations
which have been formed during
my service upon the floor of the Senj
ate. I shall cherish them always
: among the most delightful memories
i of my life. They warrant the belief
| that L shall have in the discharge of
i the functions which devolve upon me
under the constitution the generous
assistance and kindly forbearance of
both sides of the chamber.
We witness the majestic spectacle of
; a peaceful and orderly beginning of
| an administration of national affairs
under the laws of a free and self-governing
people. We pray that divine
favor may attend it and that peace and
jprogress, justice and honor mav abide
with our country and our countrymen.

i President Roostvelt's Remarks Were
Brief, Timely and Appropriate.
The inaugural address is as follows:
My Fellow-Citizens:
Xo people on earth have more cause
| to be thankful than ours, and this is
said reverently, in no spirit of boasti
fulness in our own strength, but with
gratitude to the Giver of Good who has
blessed us with the conditions which
have enabled us to achieve so large a
measure of well-being and of happiness.
To us as a people it has been granted to
lay the foundations of our national life
: in a new continent. We are the heirs of
the ages, and yet we have had to pay
, few of the penalties which in old countries
are exacted by the dead hand of a
bygone civilization. We have not been
j obliged to fight for our existence
1 against any alien race; and yet our life
has railed for the vieor and effort with
out which the manlier and hardier virtues
wither away. Under such conditions
it would be our own fault if we
failed; and the success which we have
1 had in the past, the success which we
confidently believe the future will
bring, should cause in us no feeling of
1 vain-glory, but rather a deep and biding
realization of all which life has
offered us; a full acknowledgement of
; the^esponsibility which is ours; and a
| fixed determination to show that under
i a free government a mighty people can j
thrive best, alike as regards the things !
of the body and the things of the 6oul.
MUST B7 FRIENDLY.
Much has been given to us. and much
, will rightfully be expected from us. We i
; have duties to others and duties to ourselves;
and we can shirk neither. We
have become a great nation, forced by j
the fact of its greatness into relations
with the other nations of the earth;
and we must behave as beseems a people
with such responsibilities. Toward
all other nations, large and small, our
attitude must be one of cordial and sin|
cere friendship. We must show not only
in our words, but in our deeds that we
I are earnestly desirous of securing their
I good, will by acting toward them in a
i spirit of just and generous recognition
of all their rights. But justice and generosity
in a nation, as in an individual,
count most when shown not by the
1 * TIT V? nn AtTOP
! foundations; and, therefore, our responsibility
is heavy, to ourselves, to
I the world as it is today, and to the
generations yet unborn. There is no
' good reason why we should fear the future,
but there is every reason why we
should face it seriously, neither hiding
from ourselves the gravity of the problem*
before us nor fearing to approach
1 these problems with the unbending, uni
flinching purpose to solve them aright.
Yet, after all. though the problems
are new. though the tasks set T>efore
us differ from the tasks set before our
fathers who founded and preserved this
republic, the spirit in which these tasks
i mpst be undertaken and these problems
faced if our duty is to be well done, rej
mains essentially unchanged. We know
' that self-government is difficult. We
I know that no people need such high
i traits of character as that people which
1 seeks to govern its affairs aright
through the freely expressed will of the
freemen who compose it. But we have
faith that we shall not prove false to
the memories of the men of the mighty
| past. They did their work, they left ns
! the splendid heritage we now enjoy.
; We, in our turn, have an assured coni
fldence that we shall be able to leave
! this heritage unwasted and enlarged to
our children and our children's children.
To do so we must show, not
I merely in great crises, but in the everyday
affairs of life, the qualities of pracI
tical intelligence, of courage, of hardI
ihood and endurance, and, above all.
j the power of devotion to a lony laeai,
! which made great the men who founded
; this republic in the days of Washing;
ton, which made great the men who
preserved this republic in the days of
Abraham Lincoln.

careful to refrain from wrongdoing
others, we must be no less insistent
that we are not wronged ourselves. We
wish peace; but we wish the peace of
justice, the peace of righteousness. We
wish it because we think it is right and
not because we are afraid. No weak nation
that acts manfully and justly
should ever have cause to fear us, and j
no strong power should ever be able |
to single us out as a subject for Insolent
aggression.
OUR RELATIONS AMONG OURSELVES.
Our relations with the other powers
of the world are important; but still
more important are our relations
among ourselves. Such growth in
! wealthh. in population and in power
as tnis nation nas se?n uuims iuc ?u- ,
tury and a quarter of its national lffe
is inevitably accompanied by a like
; growth in the problems which are ever
before every nation that rises to greatness.
Power invariably means both responsibility
and danger. Our forefathers
faced certain perils which we have
outgrown. We now face other perils
the very existence of which it was inpossible
that they should foresee.
Modern life is both complex and in;
tense, and the tremendous changes
wrought by the extraordinary indus!
trial development of the last half cen!
tury are felt In every fiber of our social
I and political being. Never before have
I men tried so vast and formidable an
' experiment as that of administering
! the affairs of a continent under the
forms of a democratic republic. The
! conditions which have told for our
marvelous material well-being, which
! have developed to a very high degree
our energy, self-reliance and individual
initiative, have also brought the care
and anxiety inseparable from the acI
cumulation of great wealth in indus1
trial centers. Upon the success of our
experiment much depends, not only as
! regards our own welfare, but as rei
gards the welfare of mankind. If we
; fail, the cause of free self-government
throughout the world will rock to its

CANNOT ABOLISH DISPENSARY
Board Has No Power to Close a Place
After it Has Begun Operations.
The Columbia correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer writes his paper
is follows:
Just before the meeting of the Legislature,
when there was an apparently
strong sentiment throughout the
State in favor of radical changes in
the dispensary law, and when it was
ihougnt likely the Legislature would
make important changes and grant
concessions in these changes to the
prohibitionists and anti-dispensary
ceople, the State board of directors,
ay a vote of two to one, decided to
grant prohibition to the little town of
Elleree, in Orangeburg, which had by
petition been urging the board to remove
its dispensary since last summer,
and passed a resolution closing
the dispensary there the first of January.
Chairman Hub Evans, who
voted against allowing the community
prohibition, had the matter taken up
to the Supreme Court on the petition
of Dispenser Weeks, against whom
there was complaint as to the manner
in which he had been conducting the
Elleree dispensary. The people of Elleree
frankly acknowledged that there
was no fault to find with Dispenser
Weeks; they merely wanted prohibition,
which their county board had refused
to grant. The Legislature had
come and gone without making any
change in the dispensary law, and the
Supreme Court permanently enjoined1
the State board from carrying into effect
its resolution closing the Elleree
dispensary on the ground that both
the spirit and the substance of the
dispensary law forbids the State board
closing any dispensary once opened,
and thus fully sustains Chairman Evans,
who contended that the State
board had ?ro jurisdiction in such a
matter and that dispensaries may be
closed only under the Brice act, which
requires the entire county to act in an
election, the counties voting out its
dispensaries levying half a mill to enforce
prohibition and forfeiting its
share in the dispensary school fund,
which act the Legislature just adjourned
resolutely refused to amend.
A movement has started in Oconee
to vote out the dispensaries, and it
is not unlikely that this county will follow
the example of Cherokee, which
voted out its dispensaries under the
Brice act. The church people are behind
the movement in Oconee and
tney are moving wun energy ana
great enthusiasm and zeal.
Carolinians Much Gratified.
The people of South Carolina are
very much elated to know that one of
the great battleships now being built
will be given Ae name of the proud
State which for years led in the councils
of the nation and may yet be one
of the influential States of the union?
rshe is rapidly becoming even now.
"I thank you for your telegram. It
was a great pleasure to be able to name
one of the battleships 'South Carolina.'
"Theodore Roosevelt.'"
Later in the day the governor received
notice from Washinghton that
the other battleship to be built would
be named "The Michigan." He then
sent the following telegram to Gov.
Warner of that State:
"Accept my congratulations on 'The
Michigan.' Permit me to say that 'The
Michigan' and 'The South Carolina'
are in fine company for a glorious
career." ,
Congressman J. E. Ellerhe, expressed
his personal gratification at the action
of President Roosevelt and he ventured
the prediction that at the end of his
career President Roosevelt will be more
popular in the south than any other
president has been in 40 years.
Gov. Heyward received the following
telegram from Gov. Fred M. Warner
of Lansing, Mich.: "Thanks for
congratulations. The South Carolina
and Michigan will honor the navy and
our country."
Poll Tax Delinquents.
The supply bill for 1905 contains
the following provision as to paying
poll tax:
"Any person who shall fail to pay
such poll tax shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and on conviction
thereof before a magistrate shall be
punished by a fine of not less than
$10 or by imprisonment at hard labor
upon the public works of the county
for not more than 20 days; provided,
that the county shall not pay the cost
or fees of any constable or sheriff for
the execution of any warrant or other
process issued in any case by virtue
of the provisions of this section, unless
the defendants in such cases
shail be arrested and convicted. For
services herein rendered by those
magistrates and'constables who receive
salaries, they shall receive, in
addition to such salaries as they are
now entitled to have by law, the said
costs and fees; provided, that said
cpsts and fees be collected out of
and paid by defendants."

It is thought that Alice Fuller, the
white woman who was burned so badly
last t/eek, will die. The woman was
discovered about five miles from Columbia,
in a strip of woods enveloped
in flames and as quickly as possible a
farmer who happened to be passing
rendered assistance. She was taken to
the alms house and given medical attention,
but little hope is given for her
recovery.
Mr. Robert G. St?thers, a conductor
on the Southern Railway, met with a
tragic death in Columbia in the Blanding
street freight yards. Mr. Strothers
was conductor on an extra freight, just
?n tn ipave. when the acci
| I'UUpuug u|/ w _r
i dent occurred, and the affair happened
| so quickly that there was no possible
chance of giving him assistance, and
it is now believed that he was instantly
killed.
J. T. Smith. Jr., a prominent young
man of Williston and very popular,
was foully murdered from ambush
Friday night while riding horseback
through a small section of wood near
hia home. His watch is missing and
it is thought robbery was the motive.
One charge caught him full in the
face, both glancing upward. '

St. Petersburg, By Cable,?Black I
clouds are again lowering over tbe in*
dustHal situation of Russia. The ^B
strike at Moscow has been resumed on
a large scale, anarchy reigns in the B
Caucasus, and at St Petersburg the B
measures which the government ad- B
vanced to quiet discontent and restore j
good relations between masters and 1
men appear to have failed, with the pi
probability of causing the storm to
break anew. v -A
The labor delegates representing
the whole of the industrial population
of SL Petersburg, and who were elect* J

day, which threatened, in case-the
demands are not granted, not only to fl
refuse to elect labor representatives I
to the commission, but to order a re- 1
sumption of the general strike. Jfl ^"1
These demands are for the release V^v t- I
of Imprisoned workmen and freedom Bj f 1
from arrest, unhampered speecn, xuu i i
publicity of meetings of the commla- ^ 1
sion, and the abolition of the censor- ffl M
A practical ultimatum was delirer- ^ Jfl|
ed, calling for an answer today, and mHHB
there is little expectation that the
government will grant the conditions w
demanded. The strike already has ?
assumed large proportions here, about I
50,000 men being out Among those |
who struck yesterday are the employ- j
es of the St. Petersburg shops at the 1
Warsaw Railway. The strike has not *
yet extended to the trainmen, hot the i
leaders may decide to order these ?
out in order to paralyze one of the' *
most Important railroads In Russia. ^
