ODELL A CAMPAIGN CRITIC. [on. B. B. Odell Characterizes the Management of the Republican State Campaign as the "Most Asinine" He Has Ever Seen. New York, Nov. 13.-B. B. Odell, of Newburg, former Governor and ex chairman of the Statt-? Republican committee, said today that the man * agement of the Republican State campaign was the "most asinine" that he ever knew. The whole State tick? et, he said, might just as well have been elected. As the result stands j looks like a Democratic victory, and I leaves the Republican pary in bad L shape with a national campaign com F ing on. The Republicans, he declared made no campaign at all, but put i all on Mr. Hughes's shoulders. Continuing Mr. Odell said: ""The people of this State have al "ways resented the interference of President of the 'Tnited States in their local elections. They have done i so since the days of DeWitt Clinton J. think that the interference of Pres ?dent Roosevelt did more harm than ?ood." i "I realize now, said Mr. Odell ""that I made a mistake when I ac -cepted the chairmanship of the State K vcommittee while I was Governor. The people resent official and outside in terference in their local affairs. That is why I say that the interference of President Roosevelt in the last cam? paign did more harm than good. *T do not wish to appear in the JK" -Tole of general critic of the conduct of the campaign, but so far as I can make out, there was no real cam? paign. No use was made of the rec? ord of the Republican party. It was -all a case of personalities between the .candidates for Governor. TVe should } .have stood for many of the things that Mr. Hearst advocated, like the eight-hour law, the three platoon system for the police and firemen." Mr. Odell c^id that. Mr. Hearst was igreatiy strengthened as a political factor by his campaign, and that ~while he might not be elected Presi? dent, he was now a man to be reckon? ed with in the future. He said that a combination of Bryan and Hearst wcuid be hard for the Republicans lo beat. THE BOER REBELLION. Cape Town, South Africa, Nov. 14. -The Boer outbreak in Cape Cplony ls becoming more serious. Two new bands of raiders have made their ap? pear ?.' :e in the Northwestern part of u.he f ony. They are moving in different direc? tions coing the utmost to stir up dis? satisfaction among the settlers and are being-reinforced by many recruits. The force of mounted police pursuing Ferraira overtook his band near Up tington. An indecis""e fight followed and Ferraira escape. *Here is our condensed opinion of the Original Laxative Cough Syrup : ."Nearly all o,ther cough syrups are constipating especially those contain? ing opiates.

New York, Nov. 15.-As if to show indifference to the suit brought in the Federal Court against them, the Standard Oil Company today declared a dividend of ten dollars a share for the quarter. This is fat dividend .declaration of $10,000,000. John D's share is a little over $6,000,000. The -dividend for the last quarter was S6 a share. *"For years I starved, then 1 'hought a 50 cent bottle of Kodol Dys? pepsia Cure, and what that bottle ben? efited me all the gold in Georgia 'Could not buy. I kept on taking it and in two months I went back to my -work as machinist. In three months I was as well and hearty as I ever was. I still use a little occasionally as I find it a fine blood purifier and a good ton? ic. May you live long and prosper." C. N. Cornell, Roding, Ga., Aug. 27, 1906.

Nov. 15.-President Newman and Second vice-President Brown, with other officials of the Lake Shore Railroad, met in Cleve? land today to discuss the question or raising the wages of all employes?; receiving $200 a month or less, it is believed a uniform advance of ten per cent, will be :nade. Made Happy for Life. * Great happiness came into the home of S. C. Blair, school superin? tendent, at St. Albans, W. Va., when his little daughter was restored from the dreadful complaint he names.

ARD OIL. Suit Filed In St. Louis Circuit Court Today For Violation of Sherman Anti Trust Law-Criminal Prosecu? tion Will Probably Follow. Washington, D. C., Nov. 15.-The Federal Government today began an action in the United States Circuit Court at St. Louis at the direction of Attorney General Moody, to have the Standard Oil Trust dissolved. The Government presents an array of vio? lations of the ' Sherman Anti-Trust law, including conspiracy, intimida? tion and rebating. It is President Roosevelt's intention to make this proceeding the crowning achieve? ment of his administration in the trust fight. Criminal prosecutions will probably follow today's action. Attorney Gen? eral Moody says the question as to whether any action of a different na? ture should be taken is reserved. The controversy is now pending in the court. JAP EXCLUSION ADVOCATED. Sentiment In the W est Is Forming Problem Particularly Vexatious In Hawaii. "Washington, Nov. 12.-Agitation of the Japanese school question is ap? proaching the acute stage and is rap? idly crystalizing into a sentiment in Pacific coast and Western States, not only against the admission of Japa? nese children into the schools with American children, but also against their admission into our borders. Some even go so far as to say openly that no distinction should be made between the Chinese and the Japanse, so far as the question of allowing them t enter this country is con? cerned, and they contend that be? tween the two races the Chinese are vastly more to be desired for many reasons. As the result of investigation re? cently made by the bureau of labor into the public school question of Hawaii, where at present the Asiatic pupils largely outnumber those of any other race, the bureau is uncertain, whether under existing circumstances the final result in the schools will be the Americanizing of the Oriental or thc Orientalizing of the American i schools. The swamping of the American schools with Oriental?, it is believe \ will not be compatible with the ! American school system, on account of the fact that the latter outnumber ail other nations combined. The ex? clusive use of the English language i i the schools, where Japanese children largely predominate, is not thought to be possible. The result, it is be? lieved, will be found in the same pro? cess of displacement that has been shown in wage-earning and mercan? tile pursuits, and that white pupils will be crowded out of the schools' established for their special benefit. The American pupil brought up among children of all races and at? tending school 'in a district where a majority of his schoolmates are Jap? anese, never acquires a perfect mas- * tery ?of his own language and speaks "pigeon English," often with a for? eign accent. His process in all studies has to be retarded by the progress of classes composed in great part of young people whose knowledge of English is imperfect at best. In other ways, too, he is at a disadvantage. In personal habits and customs and so? cial and ethical ideas he is strongly inclined to grow much like those with whom, ne is thrown in school life. There is little or no analogy be? tween th^ situation in Hawaii in this respect and that in an American city having a large foreign school popu? lation. Most European immigrants have a certain basis of Christian cul? ture, taken as an element of civili? zation, which is a powerful aid in as? similation, and they are for the most part permanent settlers, and ambiti? ous to acquire wealth and position. In Hawaii the assimilative forces are far weaker than upon the mainland. The chief danger of the situation lies in the possibility that a situation will be created where the Americaniz? ation by association will become im? possible through" the practical exclus? ion of American pupils from the schools. Such exclusion would disin? cline American parents to remain in the islands, especially in isolated lo? calities. There is a manifest tendency-how completely realized it is hard to say as yet-for Asiatic pupils to displace American pupils in the public schools in something like the sana- way that th.-ir parents displace white workers in many occupations. *Good for everything a salve ia used for ana especially recommended for piles.

Important Ruling By Comptroller General Jones Affecting Banks of the State. Columbia, Nov. 14.-Hon. A. Tv. Jones, comptroller general, has re? ceived from the city c?erk and treas I urer of Sumter, an inquiry of a very j important nature as to the exemption ?from taxation of the shareholders of I banks who hold United States and State bonds. The points raised by Mr. C. M. Hurst, the city treasurer, are quite important and the comptroller gen .eral has ruled as follows: Mr. C. M. Hurst, City Clerk and Treasurer, Sumter, S. C. ? Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your favor of the 9th inst., in re-taxation ! of shareholders of banks. You ask to j be advised whence comes the right of shareholders to exemption from United States or State bonds. You state correctly "that the assessment is on bank stock values, not on bonds. You also state a hypothetical case of assessments: "That if one has $1,000 bank stock (par) which has a value of $1,500 and he is assessed on it 75 per cent, then he should pay on $1, 125; this is correct, provided the bank has no investment in South Carolina State securities, nor possessed of any real estate, otherwise from the mar? ket or true value of the shares must be deducted the investment in State bonds, also the real estate value as assessed for taxation which is charged to the bank. Answering you briefly as to. the ! right of stockholders to exemption from State bond?, the , act of 1S92 in providing for the redemption of brown consol bonds and stock of the State by issue of other bonds and stocks, provided in sections 12 and 14, "That said bonds and certificates of stock shall be free from all State, county and municipal taxes." "That so much of the capital stock or bonds of any bank, banking as? sociation or other corporation of any nature or kind located within this State, as is or shall be invested in bonds and stocks of the issue provided for in this act shall be exempt from State, county, township, municipal or other taxation." In IS93 an act was passed amend? ing and construing act of 1892 as follows: "That section 14 shall be held and construed as intending and meaning to exempt and as exempting from State, county, township munic? ipal or other taxation, not only so much of the capital stock bernis or* any ha ik. banking association ur >ther corporation of any nature or kind located within this State * * * aux also the shares of stock in ihe hands of individual shareholders as shall be in proportion to the amount of capital so invested and represented by said shares and certificates of stock." As to the exemption of shareholders for investment of banks in United States securities, I can find no author? ity of law, and am of the opinion that no exemption should be allowed shareholders in banks for*any in? vestment in United States securities. This opinion is confirmed by refer? ence to United States supreme court decisions limiting the power of the State as to taxation of national banks. (U. S.) A State cannot tax a nation? al bank except upon its real property (Siopylin vs. Thaggard, 91 Fed. Rep. 93.) CUnited States supreme court.) The entire interest of shareholders may be taxed without any deductions for that portion of the capital which is invested in United States securities (Van Allen vs. Assessors, 3 Wall. 5 7 S ). (United States supreme court IS77) The act of congress of June, 1S64. in relation to the taxation of national banks does not curtail State power as to the subject of taxation or cut off the right to except certain kinds of property if a legislature choose to do so. Its object is to prevent unfriend? ly discrimination against national banks (Adams vs. Mayor, etc., of Nashville, 95 U. S. 19; ct B. C. 1S4). You asked to be advised further "If this bond exemption be authorized and required by law should not the amount of bonds as exempted be first subtracted from total assets before the percentage of assessment is calcu lated? Yes. from the aggregate true value of the shares should be sub? tracted investments in State securities and real estate, the assessed value of real estate owned by bank as the same stands assessed on the dupPcate and the remainder of the total value of such shares shall be entered on the duplicate of tho county, in the names of the owners thereof, in proportion to the number of shares owned by each. Yours very truly, A. W. Jones. Comptroller General. * Give children a remedy with a pleasant taste. Don't fore- unpleas? ant medicine down their throats.
