THE POLITICAL KETTLE IS BOILING?
nTHFR MiTTFRS OF INTFRFST
TO THE COUNTRY AT LARGE.
Washington, DC, August 27?
While the Republican political kettle
is already boiling, boiling over
in some instances, the Democrats are
calmly surveying the situation, confident
that there is plenty of time
before their national convention,
and determined to profit by any mistakes
their political opponents may
make Mr Bryan's frieuds are rejoiced
at the atteution paid to their
leader by Secretary Taft, and argue
that MrTattaud the President must
be confident that Mr Bryau is to be
the next Democratic candidate. A report
has recently been whispered
about in Washington to the effect
that Mr Bryan will not accept an.
other nomination if Secretary Taft
is the choice of the Republican convention,
and that he has made a deal
with William R Hearst that if Taft
is nominated, Hearst shall have the
Democratic nomination, while if any
other Republican is named, Bryan is
to have it. It is impossible to confirm
the story, some Democratic politi-cians
affirming it with emphasis,
whereas others deny it absolutely.
What they term *'the spineless
character'' of Secretary Taft's advocacy
of tariff revision is proving a
source of comfort to many Democrats
who belieye that the country is now
ripe for genuine tariff revisiou aloug
Democratic lines. Mr. Taft, it will
be remembered, advocates a revisiou
of the tariff at a special session of
congress to be called for that purpose
immediately after March 4,1909,but
he asserts his belief that the taritt
should be rivised along protection
lines, sod that doubtless means that
the protected pets of the Republican
party must not be permitted to suffer
any great inconvenience. The Massachusetts
Republican papers are
greatly upset because the man they
regard as most likely to be the presidential
candidate of theii party is
not more emphatic ?n his declarations
that the tariff shonld be revised
downwards, although they try to
Hind some comfort in the fact that
he openly and frankly advocates
some kind of revision.
Presiieut Roosevelt's Provincetown
speech is a source of jrenewed annoyance
and anxiety to the old line, |
conservative members of his party
who insist that it is an outrageous
thing for a Republican president to
hamper and harry the meu vho hare
always contributed so generously to
Republican campaign funds, even if
they have erected monopolies and
practiced extortion on the people
To these Jmen Theodore Roosevelt is
nothing less than an inconclast, some
go so far as to pronunce him an anarchist,
and judged from their point
of view, perhaps he is.
Sillv reports continue to appear
in the public prints relating that
Japanese have been caught, first here
and then there, sketching Atnericau
forts. The latest of these comes
from Atlanta, where two Japauese
are reported to have been detected in
act of making pictures of the buildings
at Fort McPhersou. If any
Japanese were 60 caught they were
undoubtedly seeking models with
which to scare away their enemies,
according to the old-fashioned
method of Oriental warefare when
soldiers wore masks to scare their
enemies off the field of battle. Correctly
speaking, Fort Mi-Pherson is
not a lort at an. mere are no iort^fications
there, only a collection of
barracks and officers' quarters, most
of them excellent models of bad
architecture, which any one is privileged
to copy, should he be so illadvised.
Certainly there is nothing
there uothing there which could be
of the slightest use to Japauese government.
Moreover, millitary officers
10 Washington declare that there is
nothing which they would seriously
object to having the Japanese sketch,
even our fortifications. Japau has
in Washington, in connection with
embassy, a military and naval atiache.
Tnese men doubtless for
ward to their government dtawiags
of our battleships and fortifications
before even the general public has
seen them. The United States

or navy officers come to the United
States, they are shown our battle
Sliljla, uuiauuns, juu-im
and navy-yards, and anything else
they may ask to see, except, of course,
the plans and military records of the
general staff. If any Japanese are
so foolish as to make worthless drawings
of American military posts, say
general officers here, it is some silly
idea that they may receive a reward
from thsir government, or else, as
has been suggested in the case of
Fort McPherson, in order that they
may seud to their military architects
some samples of what not to imitate.
Governor Magoou is about to promulgate
in Cuba, with the approval
of the president and secretary of
war, a decree creatiug a national bureau
of sanitation which shall have
power to prescribe and enforce sanitary
regulations throughout the
island. Governor Magoon has found
that the local administration of sanitary
matters, which was provided
during the former occupation of
Cuba, is not be relied upon, and to
day the island is threatened with a
serious outbreak of yellow fever.
Sanitary regulations and precautious
are naturally repugnant to the
Cubans and the local authorities,
either through a lack of appreciation
of the responsibilities devolving upon
them, or through being too ameuable
to local influences, haying permitted
i most unsauitarv conditions to exist.
It is believed, however, that with a
uational sanitary board to make the
regulations and to enforce them, all
further danger ean be eliminated.
The authority to issue and to enforce
this decree, even after the
present occupation of Cuba shall
have ceased, is fouud iu Section 5
of the Piatt amendent.
? The President has approved the
provisions of the army graduated
pay bill, which will be introduced
next session, and which provides for j
increases of pay for the army as
follows; lieutenant general, 10 per
cent; major and brigadier generals, i
15 percent; colonels, lieutenant col-!
oaela and majors, 20 per ceut; captains
and lieutenants, 25 per cent;
and enlisted men and non-commissioned
officers, 30 per cent. It is
expected that this bill, with possibly
some modifications, will become a
law next session.

Senator Wells is one the brightest
young lawyers in the 3d circuit. He
is a graduate of the South Carolina
College and served several terms in
the House from Florence, being
elected to the Senate to succeed Senator
Ildertou. He was strongly
urged for the place by his friends
in Florence and the other portions
of the circuit.
The term for which Mr Wells is
. appointed solicitor, expires January

place next summer for the four-year
term. It is presumed that Mr

i The many friends of Mr John
! l'titie were shocked to learn of his
' sudden death, which Occurred hist
Friday night, at the home of his
father, Mr W C Tutle, about two
miles out from Greelyville. John
' was working for The Mallard Lumber
Co. as salesman up to about ten
j dava ag), when he stopped on ac
count of a pimple ou bis hand. He
at once sought medical attention,
bi)t from the very first the attending
physician realized it to be a very
serious case, the symptoms all pointing
to blood poisoning. Nothing
that could be doue seemed to arrest
this terrible destroyer. John became i
delirious last Wednesday and Friday
night at about 2 o'clock he breathed
bis last. John, as he was familiarly
called by the youug men of the place, ,
was ouly about twenty-six years old.
He was a young mau full of hope
and ambition, and ranked high in
the estimation of all who knew him.
We feel sure that had he lived be
would have made a mark'worthy of
emulation. His ever smiling face
and witty jokes will long be remembered
by his host of friends. The
funeral took place Friday aftei oon
at 6 o'clock at Newmarket
church, Rev Mr Spigner officiating.
It is with regret we also report
the death of Mr C M Gamble's little
boy. The little fellow was only two
years old. He was a bright child,
