TBE TILE OF W?SBiNSTOK. Pol?tica! Gossip and Other Mat? ters of Genera! or Local In? terest. \icr Washignton, June 25.-Imitation is the sincerest flattery. Remember? ing that Abraham Lincoln was on tho south balcony of the White House when he received the announcement of his renominaton President Roosevlet ^ walked oat upon the south balcony glfto receive the saws cf his nomination at Chicago as the tenth successor of the distinguished rail splitter. There his most intimate friends found him clothed and in his right mind. When fivei - minutes later, newspaper men crowded round him he said VNow boys, remember that this is executive session" meaning of course that the natural and reasonable exhilarations of tho occasion were not ta be too"literal? ly reported. Thereupon he laid aside the |ittle show of- dignity, -which he has sometimes found it expedient to assume, 'gave and took banter and baodinage, and became for a short time a boy among the boys. Whatever else may be said about??the President it is conceded that he^'is a natural man with no trivial affectations. He was much gratified at the assurance that it was the first time in the coun? try's history when candidates for Pres? ident and vice-President received raevery vote of a nominating conven? tion. I called yesterday on Congressman Cowherd, running the Democratic na? tional campaign from the Riggs House, to hear what he had to say about the Republican platform. "What has be? come of the parry's courage?V he ask? ed. "On some of the greatest questions its tongue is paralyzed. Isn't the labor situation conspicuously before the country? The platform says not a word" about it. What is going to be done with the Philippines? The Re? publican platform does not lisp a syl? lable. Has the tariff ceased to be an issue. The platform makes no promise about it except that it will be dimin isehd or. increased whenever its polit? ical guardian thinks fit Of the gross postofSce corruptions it merely says our administration of, the great de? partments of the government has been honest" The subject of statehood is nos mentioned in the platform, ni though four- inchoate states with a million and a half population are knocking loudly at the. door. Is that an attractive platform? The forty Filipinos have come and gone* They have been hailed and lunched by the president, effusively greeted by his subordinates, lifted to the tcp of the monument and carried through the public buildings, and have hastened on to other cities. I inquired his impressions from Major General Birney, son of that James G. Birney who made the free soil run for President in 1844, and only survivor of four brothers who fought in the Uniorf army. He said, "They looked about like the same number of intelli? gent persons from our states on an ex? cursion to the capital for pleasure and instruction. If they are representa? tives of their people, we owe more re? spect to the Filipinos than we have yet shown. If the President of the Fair at St Louis would devise, a plan to make our people acquainted with these men instead c: exhibiting a lot of savage Igorrotes at the Pike, he would 'acquire much merit* A score of Digger Indians caught in the Bad Lands of the West would represent our native population as well as these Ig? orrotes represent the Filipinos ". I asked: "What did you think of their speeches?" "They were respect? able." he said, "but not remarkable for originality or force. They were about what would be expected of guests ' whose bills were paid by their enter? tainers and who would naturally avoid unpleasant topics. They were as po? lite as Spaniards." "Don't you suppose their reports will , do good in the archipelago?" I asked. "Perhaps," he answered, "by giving the people there more definite ideas of the extent, power, wealth, and industrial resources o? this coun? try. I don't know that the reports - will make their more friendly to us. They ?onzt fi?,bt us as they did. Chains don't hore so much when they . sre worn smooth. But no subjugated * nation loves its masters. The Boers and Hindoos do not love the British ; nor do the Finns love the Russians, or the Filipinos the Americans. War? ships and rapid-fire guns maintain what is called peace. No Filipino rebels unless he has made his will, but the spirit that demands independ . ecce is there and would blaze up if a favorable occasion offered. Without battleships and Gatlings they are help? less; but if a powerful nation should offer them such facilities of defence and offence I think they would rise rebellion frcm^tbe north end of Lu? zon to the southern corner of the Sulu possessions. If Japan, for instance, shall be victorious over Russia, what will be likely to happen? I don't know; but it is a question worth thinking about, while we are execrat? ing Russia and calling down curses on the head of the Czar." Cortelyou's Department of Com? merce and Labor is trying bard to find out which of its officials are directly repsoneible for the General Slocum holocaust in the East River. There is no disguising the fact that the blame rests directly upon some of Cortelyou's inspectors. But when they are punished, if such a consum? mation can be hoped for, some blame will still rest upon Congress itself. The most astounding revealtions in connection with it is the provision of law which pays inspectors according to the number of steamboats they are able to certify to having examined in a year! Of coarse this is a direct in? centive to carelessness and utter reck? lessness. It offers a premium for per? jury and a prize for neglect of duty. Uuder this law inspectors who do not inspect are paid three tiroes as much as those who do, cn the sole condi iou that they are ready and expert liars. What kind of Congressmen were they who enacted such a law? At the beginning of the school vaca? tion this week a murmur goes through the city protesting against such a short school year. Allowing for holidays, national and optional, school is held only about one-half of the days in ?he year. At this there is an indignant retnonstance rising.- It is felt that children have their feet in the road ai ogetber TOO much and that the sym? pathy? for ovciworjted students bas bi,es* altogether overdone. No ether working people in the world have so many holidays in the year with pay as. the. school-teachers and it is strongly felt that the children are run? ning too much and studying too little. ? revolution in this matter is at hand. ANOTHER FORCE BILL PL?N?ED. Thomas F. Ryan Who ls a Dele? gate to St. Louis, Says Republi? cans Contemplate another Force BIN. New York, June 27.-Thomas F. Ryan, who 23 a delegate from Virginia to the Democratic national convention at St. Louis, believes that the south? ern delegates should cooperate to se? cure a nomination which will invite success. He said today : "In the light of the Republican con? vention, the southern! people have more at stake in the Democratic con? vention soon to meet in St. Louis than all the rest the people of this coun? try. Without the south there would be no Democratic party. The dele? gates from that section ?to be true to themselves and the people should in? sist that all differences, whether per? sonal or political, be subordinated to the unification of the party and the selection of a candidate who will arouse the enthusiasm and fire the hopes of Democrats everywhere. Suc? cess means continued white supremacy in the south with all it implies. It means that the political faith of the people of that section shall be changed only -by appeals to judgment and con? science as to what is best-for all the people of Our common country and not throogh federal laws dictated and en? forced by a centralized and politically hostile administration at Washington, reenforced by the United States mar? shal when other methods no longer avail. "The feature which stands out in the work of the Republican national committee which has just adjourned was not its prearranged nomination of President Roosevelt or the standpat attitude on the tari?. Its real spirit is found in that deliberate .declaration about southern representation-a spirit which foreshadows a new force bill and .makes inevitable a concerted movement to revive all .the evil pas? sions to which such an appeal is made. "Until recently this idea has had in it nothing more serious than was in? volved in the idle talk of a few hot? heads or in the efforts of notoriety seekers to command a hearing ; now it becomes the deliberate policy of a great party which sees in it an oppor? tunity to forge a new weapon for pro? longing its tenure of power, "This policy is adopted in defiance of the uniform decisions of the court from the lowest to the highest; it sets at naught the precepts and the exam? ple of the late President McKinley. It belies the boa^s of the party leaders teat unity had come to the country and it overlooks entirely the steady movements'which have promoted with so much efficiency the industrial de? velopment cf the south, now recogniz? ed as so vital to the future growth of the whole country ? Instead of some? thing to typify these tendencies, the bloody shirt, buried since March, 1885, is resurrected as a party banner. "The south is .to be congratulated that the party has on guard in both the house and the senate the best or? ganized and the ablest led Democratic "minoritysince the war." Proprietors of New York's wholesale bouses are noted for their considera? tion and generosity toward employes, says the New Yprk correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger. For several years past they have given their men a half holiday on 'Saturday, and there is serious talk of doing no business on that day. at all during the summer months. Today a movement was started in the wholesale dry goods dis? trict in favor of closing on Saturday, July 2, thus giving the employees a holiday from Friday evening till Tues? day morning. Many large houses have announced their intention of closing on Saturdays. Philadelphia, June 27.-Three per? sons lost their lives and a half dozen others were injured late today as the result of the explosion of a small bun? dle of fireworks in the store room of the Diamond Fireworks Company, at No. 826 Arch street. The dead are : Jacob Jancovitch aged 28 years; O. Dorman, 27; Lena Sampson, 21. . Cherbourg, France, June 28.-The report that the body of Kent J. Loomis, the missing brother of As? sistant Secretarv of State Loomis, had been washed ashore here proved untrue upon official investigation. Spartanburg, June 27.-State Con? stables Gideon and Drake, assisted by two constables from Greenville, raided in the Dark Corner of Greenville county this morning, destroying three big illicit distilleries and 4,000 gallons of still beer. No arrests were made. Philadelphia, June 27.-A special to the Phildaelphia Record from Wil? mington, Del., says Judge George Gray expressed his hope that former President Grover Cleveland would be nominated for the presidency by the St. Louis convention. Next to Cleve? land, he favors Judge Parker for the nomination. * WEEK END RATES. Excursion Tickets t3 Popular Resorts Now on Sale by Atlantic Coast Line.

Sont* of the old stevies told of r?:e gaming tables can lmrul?? be Lol it1 V?A. nowadays, though they ure related ht such a cool, matter of fact style by writers of the time'as to show that in the eighteenth and . early nineteenth centuries the practice formed a part of high class social existence. Captai:; Gror.ow relates that, having been ap? pointed to the staff of General Picton, ?who was then starting for Brussels (1S1M, he obtained $1,000 from the ar? my lgents, "which," he continues, "I took with me to a gambling house ia St ?Fames' square, where I managed, by ??orne wonderful accident, to win ?600." With this sum he subsequently provided his necessary outfit. When the allies marched into Paria after the battle of Waterloo, Gronow found the Palais Royal a hotbed of gambling-"the very heart of French .dissipation." "There were tables for all classes. The workman might play with 20 sous or the gentleman with 10.0CO francs. The law did not prevent any class from indulging in a vice that assisted to fill the coffers of the munici? pality of Paris." The English visitors were' not slow to participate in the play, one officer of the guards obtaining leav<? of absence and never quitting the Palais Royal till the time came for his return to the regiment Large fortunes were often lost at gam bling in those days, the losers dis j appearing never more to be heard of. Lord. Thanet, for instance, who had an I income of $250,000 a' year, lost every f arti ting at play and, concludes G ro? now. "I do not remember any instance wbe:*e those who spent their time in this den did not lose all they possess? ed." FLOWERS IN MEXICO. So Plentiful That They Are Used Fox Great Public Decorations. As a people the Mexicans are very fond of flowers, and every village, .town and city has its place where flowers are sold, and many of the larger places j have extensive flower markets. Often the Howers brought to the market are wild specimens found in the woods and the |elds, but all are beautiful. In man;r of the smaller towns and villages' the public parks and the sidewalks of the streets are used as places for the sale of flowers. Everywhere they may j .be bought at surprisingly low prices.1 So plentiful are flowers they are used ,for great public decorations. ' Some? time!; whole parks and the fronts of buildings for many streets are covered, with floral decorations on a feast day. Th?? Mexican love of flowers has been inherited from a long line of flower loving ancestors. More than a thou? sand years ago the chief feature of worship among the Toltecs was the great floral offering which was made to the 3'air god once a year and which lastei for a whole Mexican week. Dur? ing "his festival one of the features was a great floral procession, which traversed the principal streets of the city to the sound of musical instru? ments. Every one in the procession carrig flowers to lay upon the altar of the ?;od or to place upon the steps or walls of his temple. ' In this procession were princes, nobles, priests and com? moners. This floral festival was an expresi?n of the love of nature for which the Toltecs were noted. Until they came into contact with the Az? tecs ! ater on in history they were pure? ly ns.ture worshipers, and flowers and fruit:? formed the chief part of their offerings. So the Mexican comes by his love of flowers honestly. Intermarrying; Anions Rooks. Among the odd habits of rooks is the way that members of the same rookery have of intermarrying generation after generation. The males always choose their wives from their near neighbors, and if one should be so bold as to bring home to his rookery a bride from a distance the other rooks will invari? ably refuse to receive her and will force the pair to build some way off. ! In tie neighborhood of big rookeries outlying nests of this kind may always be found. Belgium Marriages. In Belgium it is the custom to give certi Beates of marriages in the form cf little books, which also contain a sum? mary of the marriage laws and among a mess of other miscellaneous informa? tion directions for the feeding and care of infants. There are also places for ente:nng the names and birthdays of the children of the marriage, the au? thorities considerately affording space for twelve such entries.

George Vandoros, the Greek, who left here several months ago for an un? known destination has turned up in New York in the custody "of the immi? gration officials at Ellis Island, who arrested him upon his arrival from Paris last week. Clerk of Court Parrott received on Sunday a letter from one of the special officers on Ellis Island inquiring as to whether George Vandoros had taken out naturalization papers in 19C2 while a resident of this city. He stated Van? doros had produced a certificate of naturalization that was irregular in form and that until proof of his nat? uralization was furnished by the Clerk of Court Vandoros would be kept in custody. Christopher Gazes has received a letter from George stating substantial? ly the same facts and asking him to see Mr. Parrott at once and get him to write at once to the Ellis Island officials so that he could be relased from, custody. George does not say that he intends returning to Sumter, and it is a nat? ural inference that had he not been arrested in New York his friends here who have been anxious to hear from bim ever since his unexpected depar? ture would still be in ignorance con? cerning his whereabouts. I Mr. Parrott has written to the Ellis Island officials that George was regu? larly and legally naturalized, Judge Klngh signing his papers, and ere this George has probably been granted his freedom.. Perdicaris Wrote a Moorish Novel. While several of the great powers are striving for the release of Ion Perdicaris from the clutches of the Moorish ' bandits, much light is being thrown upon the life and character of this picturesque American citizen who has chosen to make his home in Morocco and his friends from among the subjects, nominal if not very sub? missive, of the sultan cf Fez. The New York Tribune a few days ago re? called the fact that Mr. Perdicaris is author of a novel now so far forgotten that no copy could be found in the New York libraries nor in the hands of the publishers, who brought it out anonymously in 1888. Mr. Perdicaris in 1886 had fought an exciting battle in defense of Moorish debtors against the system permitting those of their creditors who were under the? protect? ion of foreign consulates in Tangier tb misuse the privileges of foreign flags. After he had succeeded in his struggle, he told the story of it in a little volume entitled "American Claims and the Protection of Native Subjects in Morocco," and further presented it in a novel called "The Case of Mohammed Benani : A Story of Today." The former publication is accessible, but the novel has almost disappeared. From a copy found in private hands the Tribune prints a summary. It was with the American consulate that Mr. Perdicaris came more particularly in conflict, but in writing "Mohammed Benani" he represented America as Russia and himself as a native ofthat country, Ivan Paulovitch. Tangier likewise he turned into Tingizirah. President Cleveland, Secretary Bayard, George William Cr.rtis, Sir Richard Burton, *he Shereef of Wozan and other well k?own people appear under thin dis? guises in the story, a fact which gives the record.an added piquancy. The Tribune adds : "Mr. Perdicaris sitting down to dinner with Raisuli and talking with the brigands around him must be re? membering with a kind of grim amusement how he once moved heaven and earth to be of service to their unfortunate countrymen. When he emerges into freedom, will he pre? pare a new edition of "Mohammed Benani," with footnotes and an ap? pendix, or will he write another book? A novel based on his captivity and 'Mohammed Banani' would make a pair unique in the annals of fiction." Among the students who were grad? uated by the John Hopkins University in Baltimore the other day with the degree of bachelor of arts was Charles H. Saylor, who during this course at the university worked eight hours each night as clerk in the Baltimore post office. Mr. Saylor attended his classes at the university during the day, slept only six hours out of twenty-four and lived on two meals daily. He man? aged during his course to stand second on the class roll and was graduated, with high honors. Mr. Saylor is 2G years old. We are in receipt of a letter from Mr. J. L. Gillis, of PisgaL, enclosing a cotton bloom. The letter was mail? ed cn June 22d and the bloom, there? fore, must have been picked that day or on the day previous. C. P. Osteen, M. D. No. 18 W. Liberty St., (Ovor Os?een's Book Store), STJMTEK, S. 0. HAGOOO DISCUSES LAZINESS. And incidentally Has Something lo Say About Crops in His Neighborhood. Hagood, June 29. -The crops o? all the smart people around are pretty clear of grass. I think all, smart and lazy, had grass, but the smart took ad? vantage of the present dry spell to rid their crops of it. What do you think of a man offering $1.25 per acre tc get bis cotton hoed? lie don't live on the Peninsula. He belongs to the lazy set. Mr. Editor, there are a lot of us that aro lazy, we work only when we are obliged to, but some will not work at all, except head work to chisel the other fellow out of what he makes. I am sorry the doctors have got up an excuse for laziness, calling it a disease ; if it be I know some hale looking sick people ; this same fellow is as fat and slick as one could wish, I mean not myself but the $1.25 fel? low. I work when I have it to do. My reason for this remark is that Dr. Brown, C. C., of course, has said that he who has a horn to blow and wants it blowed had better blow it himself, all of which must be a true saying. Crops where fertilizers have been used liberally are looking well, but there be some who will not use fer? tilizer liberally because, asl think, they are afraid some one else may reap some benefit from it The very essence of sin is selfishness, and that sort of man is highly impregnated or charged or-he's got it bad. He passes the flourishing crops of another crosseyed, in general bad humor. He is the man that in some things is a bit too literal: he has heard ii said that good currying is half feed| for a horse, and while he does not practice it on the horse he works it for all it is worth on the land, thinking a dab of fertilizer and a lot of currying (plowing) will produce a good crop. "None so blind as those that will not see." His stinginess blinds him. I see people who work hard and well, but can't make ends meet ; they live beyond their means ; their tables are loaded with fat things, their children dress like butterflies, but they have not library nor bocks cn the shelf ex? cept some trashy novels. There is no sense in making blockheads of ones children in order to make them glut? tons and butterflies. There are people who are raising their children in idleness, with a false idea of life, etc. The real joy of life comes of doing. The man who does not i? dead while he lives. I have been cutting grass, had it to do because cufBe would not. I hoe, plow, cut wood or do anything else necessary. I suppose most of the peas are planted in the corn by this time, but those that are not why not sow them in the furrow or broadcast. A wide awake farmer said to me the other day that he wanted to make seed peas. One can do so by sowing in fur? row or broadcast. I have tried it. I sow peas to build up land. liagood. FINE CROPS AT WEDGEFIELD, The Outlook is More Favorable Than it Was Last Year-Other News Items. Wedgefield, June 28.-Our farmer friends are feeling better over the prospect for a crop this'year. Corn' is looking well, and cotton though re? ceiving n check by lice is recovering now. We have also missed the dam? aging rains we were having this time last year. Judging by the number of receipts held by "supposed to be tax delin? quents," it looks as if gross careless? ness is practiced in our county treas? urer's office. There is no business transaction where a receipt is of more importance than this, which makes it exceptionally hard on colored peo? ple, for as a general rule they are care? less about saving receipts. Our young folks enjoyed a moonlight picnic given at the residence of Mr. F. E. Thomas yesterday . evening, and amid pleasures, moonlight and breezes the hours soon passed thorough en? joyed by all who were so fortunate as to attend. Miss Cecile Hirschman of Charleston is visiting her sister Mrs. Sam Wein? berg. The sun shines bright, cotton waxes luxuriant and the price continues to grow thin and emaciated.

New York, June 23.-The inquiry conducted by Coroner Berry and a jury into the Gen. Slocum disaster was i conc?aded today and after nearly four hours' deliberation a verdict wa3 ren? dered in which the directors of the Knickerbocker Steamboat company, the captain of the Slocum, Capt. Pease, the commodore cf i;he com ?pany's fleet, and others were held criminally responsible. Warrants for their arrest were issued. The mate of the Slocum, according to the jury, acted in a cowardly manner, and the misconduct' of Steamboat Inspector Lundberg, it was recommended should be brdugbt to the attention of the federal authorities. The charge in each case was man? slaughter in the second degree. Bail was fixed by the coroner in amounts varying from $1,000 to $5,000. The Weekly Crop Report. Washington, June 28.-The weather bureau's weekly summary of crop con? ditions says: In most of the districts east of the Mississippi River cotton has not made rapid growth and is. generally small,, though healthy and well cultivated. Gaod growth, however, is reported from Mississippi and portions of Ala? bama, and while lice are increasing in the last named State they are less numerous in Mississippi and South Carolina. West of the Mississippi Hiv? er the advance of the crop has been more rapid, good growth being gen? erally reported, and while some fields are foul in portions of Texas, Arkan? sas and Louisiana the crop is generally well cultivated. In Texas boll weevils are more numerous in she southwest? ern central, eastern and coast sections. Transplanting tobacco is nearly finish? ed and the crop is making a good start in nearly all sections. THE SUMMER GIRL.
