I? is persistently rumored that efforts are being made to establish another daily newspaper in Columbia. The prime movers are said to be the following persons: Mr(ieorge K Koester, formerly editor of the defunct Columbia Register and later on, editor of the Columbia Daily Record; Hon George R Rembert, who led the [.egislative ticket in the recent Richland primary. Mr Rembert is also announced to be the 'administration leader" on 'the tiour of the House, whatever that may imply. A third active promoter it- said to be Hon As-| bury IF Lever, who recently suc'-xeifced himself as the Democratic nominee in the Seventh Congressional district. That the Governorelect will take a liberal block of the stock goes without saying, and hundreds of other admirers of Governor Blease Mh in the city and throughout the State would doubtless invest some of their surplus capital in the new venture. Mr Koester is a clever and virile newspaper writer and knows thoroughly every detail of the making of a daily newspaper. It is proposed, they say, to start the enterprise with a quarter ?>f a million dollars capital. Should the venture materialize there will Ik* "something doing" in the Capital ( it>* to hark hack two decades to the Tillman regime. The State, then a struggling infant,yet, withal, a journalis ie prodigy, fought its j way successfully against odds that looked overwhelming. The State is now prohahly the l?est paying piece of newspaper property in South Carolina, and, hy the way,! it has lost none of its militant powers. As a business pn?jx?sition we would hesitate to sell stock in he established newspaper, even at <t hi}; premium, to re-invest the proceeds in any other ?laily news-! paper that might U* launehed in Columbia. T?> a "looker on in Vienna" there <ppear to lie other fields where sueh a venture would till a "long felt want" in this respect far I?etter than the opportunity offered at the Capital City, al! tilings considered. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars looks like an almost inexhaustible capital, but in our humble opinion, ... it would take that amount several times over to put the State newspaper out of business or even serii us!y cripple it. An inveterate Inxister does not always prove an effective l?ooster. To affect to despise printers' ink seems to l>e tbe shrewdest way to get free advertising. The crow of the major portion Ct r? t o naf tlif* ui mr pi\ uiv rooster's exultant crow. The way the signs point there will he a Smith presiding over each house of the next State legislature Governor Elect Blease may "cuss" the newspapers, but that does not prevent his press agent from working ov*r time. ' We hear many people pronounce the name of the new Governor as though it were spelled Bleece; the "s" has a "z" sound; and the name Blease is properly pronounced as if spelled Bleeze. Solicitor J Monroe Spears of Darlington has announced that he will he a candidate for f Congress in the Sixth district in 1912 and it has also l>een intimated that Senator J W McCown of Florence will enter the field. Both these prospective candidates are strong campaigners and will make things warm for the present incumlient should they adhere to their present intention. With a clean political record, one of the l>est informed constitutional lawyers of the State and, withal, a brilliant parliamentarian, besides being posses>ed of a presiding dignity that enhances the force of his rulings, Hon Mendel L Smith is probably as well fitted for the high and honorable position of Speaker of the House as any man in South Carolina. With such material available it is to l>e hoped that the House of Representatives will not allow blind partianship to oltscure good judgment in se lecting their presiding ottieer. A stock-holder of the Pennsylvania railroad has made formal demand upon the officials of the company for information as to an alleged indebtedness t<> the road by Theodore Ko??sevelt incurred while the latter was President of the I'nited States by going on junketing tours. The total mileage traveled over the Pennsylvania on these tours is said t?> have lieen over (R),000 miles on private ears, amounting t?? over S100,(HX>, for which the railroad has never lieen oaid one cent. Complaint is rife among the small stork-holders, who are urging the ottieials to take steps to recover what is due the road. The Southern railroad also is said to have claims against the former President aggregating $(?(),< MN>. Mr Motley has Appendicitis. Mr D E Motley was taken with appendicitis Sunday. His condition being very serious, on Monday he was carried to Florence to the McLeod infirmary, where prompt diagnosis disclosed the fact that an immediate operation was necessary to save his life. The operation was accordingly performed as soon as possible and we understand that he rallied very well from the shock. At lnnt nnn.vimfo n.\ nnf nl ei'nAtAmc I<2dl aV.V.l'UUlS i IV' UlUU^OIU OV1I1UMIIO had developed and his friends hope that he may soon recover. Mr Motley was accompanied to to Florence by his father. Mr J R M Motley, Dr C D Jacobs and Sheriff Graham. H STATE AND GENERAL NEWS. * A Chicago & Erie fast train was wrecked near Lima, Ohio, on September 21,killing one passenger and injuring twenty-five. The Democrats of the Eleventh Congressional district of Kentucky have determined to name a candi- , date to make a vigorous fight against i LaieD rowers, the Kepubiican nominee in that district. The Democrats ' hope to get the support of a large proportion of independent Republi- ' cans for their candidate. A wreck on the Rock Island railroad near Clayton, Kansas, Friday caused the death of sixteen persons | and injured thirteen more. The wreck was caused by a cloud-burst { which washed away a thousand feet of the track. The Methodists of Marion are planning to build a $40,000 church, j Between Bluff ton and Fort Wayne, ? Indiana, Wednesday, the 21st inst, two electric cars crashed together, , one an empty, with fearful result. The empty car plowed its way , through the loaded car.killiug fortytwo passengers and injuring seven others ter'ously. Only one mar,,wl o jumped off the passenger car,escaped unhurt. Governor-Elect Cole L Blease has named as his private secretary Mr j Alexander C Rowland of Columbia. Mr Rowland was born in Augusta, then moved to Salt Lake City and later to Columbia,where he has lived tor 5 years. Capt 0 Babb of Laurens will probably be appointed assistant Adjutant General about October 1 to succeed the present incumbent, Col W T Brock, whose resignation goes into effect November 1.
