The dark; struck at the animal with a stick h happened to have in Hand, but tir stick broke and the stiange-lookin; ; beast with a savage growl sprang a the frightened negro, who mad' tracks dowu the road ar a livel; gate with the animal in hot pursuit The chase had proceeded severa hundred yards and the issue was ii doubt wheu the breathless uegn chanced to see approaching hiin tw< young men of the neighborhood wh< wereout hunting aud had their guns They quickly up sized the situatioi and rescued Sam from his peril b; shooting the pursuing animal,whicl proved to be a large red fox. Except a female with a litter o; young ones, it is said to be an ex tremely rare occurrence for a fox b attack a human being,^though then are instances where the males em boldened by cold and banger ban ventured into the haunts of mei and attacked them. In this caa the fox was a male and of unusnal M1w ^rge size, so that but for th< ely interference of tha hunteri i might have had to fight for hii with Reynard, armed only witl are'8 weapons.

King to he postmaster at Parling; ton is Major James Calvin lleinu i hill, editor of the Charleston Newi and Courier, and Mr Tuft's closest i and most confidential friend in bouth Carolina. Captain John G Capers, Republican national committeeman and erstwhile "referee' for Soutn Carolina, recommeuded other men for these offices. Captain Capers' recommendations have been wont to go in South Carolina postmasterships. "General" Francis li Hitchcock, Political Charge d'Affaires of the Administration,still consults him about these officers, but a bigger than the General hat been taking a hand. Senator E E Smith, who represents Florence ic the Senate and who had the powei of holding up any appointment . objectionable to him, "did his durndest," in the language of the classic poet, to induce the Presi|f dent to name another man for Florence. But there was one more potent in the councils of the President than the Sena'or, and the 1 Major's man was named. 5 Captain Capers says he is 110 v longer "Keferee" or "Adviser" in the established sense. "So far as ! 1 know there isn't any such job," he says, "1 have retired to niv private law practice and am devoting my time to it, intending not to accept any further political office. ' Of course, until the next national convention I arn still the nationa ? ommitteeman, and having advised J ' about South Carolina offices so loner, and titill desirous of seeiiiir e """*=' ? good men in office us well as to see ^ the party prosper in South Carolina, j! why, whenever I am asked toadvise, I advise. When I aui not asked, I have nothing to say." In passing, it is an evidence of Mr Capers' sincerity that he has had the refusal of at least two good Federal appointments since he left that of general revenue comf missioner. Now upon the election of Mr ^ Taft a different policy with respect to appointments in the South was determined npon. Mr Taft had been down to Greensboro, N C., ? several years before he was an active candidate for the Presidency. There he shocked his fellow Republicans, who for several years had been engaged in one continuous and conspicious exhibition dogfight over Federal patronage, by telling them that the Republican party in the South would be better off if the Democrats held all the offices. He seems not altogether to have got that idea out of his head, and it is believed, he would have entered upon a wholesale policy of ape pointing Democrats to office had it - not been for the more astute political head of his Postmaster j General and chief political adviser. . There is a difference only of judgf ment between Mr Taft and Mr * Hitchcock. The object of each is to break the solid South. Mr J ( Taft thinks he can do it by cod. dling a few Democrats with Ree publican leanings, and while Mr e Hitchcock does not wholly disa3 gree with this idea he wants to be quite sure of the leanings. Mr Taft seems willing to take greater chances on this score. The regular r aforetime "referees" have not been formally abolished or superseded so much as they have been just sort of : iri '.ittiii/.

But this Gan i tier and Hen incident seemed to have been an especial bond of union. Twice since he was elected President, ' Mr Taft has visited Charleston, and Major Hemphill has visited the President here, their friendship be! ingat each meeting iuteusitied. 1 The Gaoder and Hen incident,you understand, wa9 a joke. Mr Taft likes a joke and he likes a man who ' gets off a good one. Bat the Presi dent is not all joke. That campaign 1 Ust fall wa9u't any joko. He meant ' business, and at one time Mr Bryan ' was pushing Lim so close and the Mikdle West as well as New York ; showed such signs of Republican dis1 integration that he got vexified, as it were. It has always been an idea with him ever since he entered polities, which was when he became a candidate for President,yon understand, that he was the Man of Destiny to break up the the Solid South. And he wanted to no into the South during that campaign to convert the stiff-necked people, and would have done so but for this dangerous threat i of the Middle West a New York. But all the time lie s looking about in the South, watc lg it very closelv. He had certain ' nants, J I pulse feelers, to report *i what men in the South could tfifof assistance to him in furnishing informa tion about conditions. Among these was .1 (' Hemphill of South Carolina, it is not believed that he called on these men for assistance, but it is positively known that he had his eye on thm, and considered them as not so hostile as their papers might have indicated to those who did not read between the lines. Whether he has Major Hemphill on his list of eligibles with the hope of assistance in breaking up the Solid South or not, can be but a matter of surmise. It is certain that he consnlts the Major about appointments, and that the Major, whether consulted or not, sometimes gives his "advice." This he did a few days ago in the advocacy of his cousin, J J Hemphill, for the office of commissioner of the District of Columbia. It is believed that were it not for the technical bar respecting legal residents President Taft would out of consideration for his friend, J J Hemphill appoint J J Hemphill to the office, further consideration being, of course, given to Mr Hemphill's fitness. Major Hemphill's recommendations are not always favorably acted on, this being notably the casern a # ll M. recent recommendation ior tne postmaster's position at Walhalla. He recommended Miss Fant, who it developed was at the time residing in Anderson, engaged there as stenographer. She had, however, been a resident of Walhalla. However, she and her people were Democrats, while Anson C Merrick,the husband of the deceased postmaster, was a "good Republican." This was one time the Postmaster General had his way, and Merrick wa3 appointed. Zach McGee.
