The President Names New Men for Charleston and Sumter.

L. Harris postmaster at Charleston. Harris is from Ohio, but has been in Charleston about a year as an agent of the pension ofiBce, pros ecuting claims for pensions. He is considered an able political organizer and stands in wTith Senator McLaurin and United States Attorney Capers, who is distributor of the Federal patronage in South Carolina. Mr. Harris married a South Carolina lady, the cousin of Major Micah Jen kins, who received a sword from Pres ident Roosevelt when the latter visited Charleston. With a view to declaring his right to citizenship in South Car olina, under certain contingencies, Harris purchased a piece of land, so that his sponsors now claim that he is a taxpayer and also a citizen of the State. His appointment was a great surprise to the old-line Rcbpuiicans in tho Palmetto State. The President also sent to the Sen ate today the nomination of George P. Shore to be postmaster at Sumter.

FUME M? SMOKE. Mont Pelee Again Terrifying the Martinique Survivors. A dispatch from Fort de France, Martinique, dated May 26, 9 p. m., says : Mont Pelee is again in eruption. Huge black clouds are rolling over Fort de * France in great masses, in which there are peculiar lightning flashes. The inhabitants are now flocking into the great square of the town. If the demonstration increases a panic is^ imminent. A very heavy surf has been beating on the shore for the last two hours, and an enormous grayish yellow cloud, at a great-height, is dimly visible in the direction of Mont Pelee. The night is intensely dark, and the stars are only faintly visible. Fort de France is in no danger from the volcano, but there is considerable apprehension of a panic in the night time should the grayish yellow cloud reach here and ashes and stones begin to fall. There'are no noises from the volcano at present. For the space of one hour flames rose from the crater to a height of 150 metres. The crater seemed to be about 300 metres in diameter.

A pathetic story is told in connec tion with the death of Master O. P. Watt, the 12-year-old son of Mr. Crayton Watt, of the Moffettsville sec tion of the county, which occurred last week. Several years ago, when he was not more than 7 or 8 years of age, he was playing with one of his playmates, a little girl of about his own age, he gave her a bouquet of flowers, and said to her, "Keep these, and when I am dead I want you to pin them on my coat." The words, spoken in childish jest, made a deep impression. She kept the flowers and carefully pressed them, and when the friend and playmate died last week she brought the faded bouquet and pinned them on his coat, as he had requested. The incident was a very touching one, and the pathos and beauty of it made an etfer lasting impression on those who witnessed it.?Anderson Mail. Frank D.
