Regarding- the real possibll ty of the president accepting a th'rd nominetlon. It may be aald that it is | distinctly against his personal wishes. Nearly eight years in the White House Is enough physically and mentally to make any man, however rugged his constitution, wish for a rest. He knows that he could be elected to the senate, to the governorship of New York, to the presidency of any uni? versity, or to any other job that he wanted, and also that after a term out of the White House he could come back for reelection If he so desired. There has never been a case on record of a man refusing the nomination of the presidency if It were offered, and If the convention should be stam? peded for Roosevelt, there Is a ques? tion whether he would decline. But he Is sn unconventional person, und he Is liable to do anything. es? There Is s good deal of discussion over the location of the nogro troops, msny of whom are about to be shift? ed. The 24th Infantry Is coming home from the Philippines, and there are two cavalry regiments to be taken care of beside the ever undesirable 25th Infsntry which now thst it hss s bad name Is not welcomed any? where. The changes will hsve to be msds by Assistant Secretary of War Oliver while Secretary Taft la out o the country, and' he hss planned tc put all the negro troops In ths North as being secttonally the least offer ? slve. But the protests pouring Into ths war department make It plain that ths negro garrisons are as little desired in the North as In the South, snd ths sctlng secretary Is faced with a pretty problem. There li nothing Inherently undesirable In ths colored troops, but ths war department has to reckon with popular prejudice. KILLING AT A CAKE WALK. - Negro Cut and Shot to Death to Eloeeooe. Florence, Sept 22.?Charles Wil? liams, a negro farm hand living on W. J. Anderson's plantation, was shot snd cut to death at the house of Robert Gregg, who lives at the old Paw ley House on Dr. Benjamin O. Gregg's pises. In ths northern section of the city, lsst night.

Sonic of the Results of Coo|>crution of Cotton Interests? Farmers and Mer? chants Working Together. The statement was made recently in the Times that cotton was selling higher in Darlington than in any of the markets around here and the statement excited a good deal of comment here. The farmers insist that it Is so, and it is a fact beyond dispute that publicity Is the only way to cure any ill, so the Times has made further inquiry on the line and the results arc interesting. This paper has been urging the Board of Trade for some time to take up the matter of the local cotton market, but with? out effect. It is given as an explana? tion of the situation In Darlington that the Board of Trade of that city has taken the matter In hand and they have forced the price of cotton up. They have raised 15,000, and will put up more if necessary, to take the cotton off the market unless the price is paid. The statement is made that the buyers have been driven off the market except the cotton mill buyer. The Board of Trade also puts up a margiri for the ginner so that cotton may be ginned there cheaper than elsewhere. The farmers say that when they go to Darlington they are met and taken care of by the mer? chants, that In every way the Dar? lington merchants are out for busi? ness through their business organisa? tions, because it Is a live and active and aggressive body. The statement is also made by the farmers that they expect to have to make a fight on the oil mills In the matter of seed, that the Independent mills Are buying seed at a very much better price than the Southern Cotton Oil Company mills will pay. It is urg? ed that there is no necessity for the farmer to sell hie seed, and there should be general action all along the line to hold the seed off the market until the standard price Is reached. The seed can be preserved If they are put in a dry house, and at ISO a ton they are worth taking care of. The Farmers' Union local branches are to be organized all through the county this week and the prospects are very bright. The farmers feel that the day for their organization has come and they are meeting the situa? tion with enthusiasm. They expect to accomplish something through their organizations, because they have al? ready accomplished something. They expect the cooperation of the buslr ness Interests fSt the town and cities, the banks and the merchants, because every dollar made by the farmers Is another ^dollar added to the wealth of the South.?Florence Tfmes. ROOSEVELT PLAYS POLITICS. Colored Minister of Cleveland Gets a Majorshlp at Hands of the Presi? dent?Appointment Reported Made to Help Tuft's and Rurton's Can? didacies. Wushington, Sept. 17.?The stress which the administration places upon the negro vote in Ohio in the fight to Inktlon for Secretary Taft and to win the black vote in Cleveland for Repre? sentative Burton in his contest for the mayorality against Tom Johnson, Democrat, has Just been illustrated by an unprecedented and somewhat sen? sational stroke of executive policy. For the Aral time In the history of the Cnlted States army the title of major has been conferred upon a negro. The beneficiary of this unprecedent? ed promotion is the ReV. W. T. An? derson, of Cleveland, for ten years a chaplain In the 10th cavalry, colored. It became known today that the ap? pointment was made, at the request of George Meyers, of Cleveland for years a lieutenant of Mark Hhnna. and whose special assignment was looking after the "cullud" brother from the South In national conventions, and Halph Tyler, the Columbus negro re? cently appointed auditor of the navy as stated. The appointment of Anderson as a major was to accomplish a two-fold purpose, viz, to Inngratlate the candi? dacy of Representative Burton for mayor of Cleveland and to avert the threatened stampede of negro dele? gates from Taft in the Republican na? tional convention. The mayorality election In Cleve? land will in a measure be a test of the administration strength in that city and to push Representative? Rur ton through Is a task to which the administration is devoting energy and thought. There Is a large negro vote In Cleveland, and upon deorge Mey? ers, who wanted Anderson promoted, the administration counts for material aid. The negro Tyler Is expected to keep a large nun.her of negroes in l^re for Taft notwithstanding the ereilt Foraker wave now enveloping negroes all over tin- country. The negro Anderson has been chaplain In the lath cavalry for ten years. and tinder the law ho could be retired or promoted at tin- expiration of that time. It is believed to be good Taft and Burton politics to promote him, ind Ine president played politics as usual. News and Courier. Tliut Negro Baptist College Again. BsCSUse the Southern Reporter has requested the stubborn, self-willed and selfish negro Baptist leaders, so called leaders, In this State to heed and consider the honorable and man? ly protest of the white citizens of Sumter against the location of the proposed negro Baptist college In that city and because we have seen fit to turn on the searchlight of truth so that the people may not be any longer deceived by this negro Baptist college humbuggery we have been branded as "kickers, fault finders and derlders of the race," and a great deal of abuse has been heaped upon our head by the -little two-by-four, pat-! ented and mud-slinging negro news? papers in this State. We readily turn aside from these little mean and ma? licious personal attacks as being de? void of argument and only meriting the contempt and pity of intelligent and respectable people. The Southern Reporter still holds and contends that the proposed negro Baptist College should not be erected and it calls upon the negro Baptists of this State to contribute nothing to? wards the building of that school for these, among other reasons. In the first place, the idea of building this college was conceived by those who I were hostile and up in arms against that great and useful school, Bene? dict College, and it is now being built I In opposition to that existing and pop I ular institution. This fact has been' I emphasised In associations and the I old convention by the promoters of I the scheme and they have declared I that they will have no official connec? tion with Benedict College. Such base I Ingratitude Is worse than a serpent's I tooth! In the second place there is no real I and pressing need for this proposed I college. Aside from the availability I of Benedict College which could easl I ly be enlarged so as to accommodate I many more students there are several I struggling, but worthy, secondary de I nominatlonal schools in this State I which should be built up and patron I Ized by negro Baptists. In due time I and with the proper encouragement I some of these Institutions * would I doubtless develop into full fledged col? leges. Instead of building "a little I $5,000 college" at Sumter these sec I ondary schools should be federated land fostered by these leaders, which lls the dictate of wisdom and common I sense. Again the fact must not be ov I erlooked that the promoters of this I college scheme are not safe leaders. I Their history and record have not I been of the helpful and constructive I order but rather destructive and harm I ful In effect. They can point to no I mission accomplished during the past I decade, but they have admitted that I they have squandered large amounts I of money and wrecked a costly news I paper plant. They have fully proved I their Inefficiency as leaders and their Inability to lead the negro Baptists over Into the promised land of a negro I college. Finally we oppose this move I ment, because almost the entire white I population of Sumter has protested I against it." Last week a petition was I signed by almost every white man In I Sumter protesting against the college I location.?Charleston Southern Re I porter.

H. Smith, Living at X2."> Wash* ington street, Columbia. S. C, says: "When 1 was five years old I strain? ed myself and have not been well since. I have always had kidney and bladder troubles, sometimes more se? vere than qthers. T had such severe pains that at every breath I drew it would cut to the quick. It felt like a knife being thrust through the blad? der. 1 had a doctor examine me and he gave me medicine, but it did not do me any good. I tried medicines and used plasters and rubbed my b?ck with one-half dosen different remedies, but nothing relieved me. This lias been my condition for 40 years, ami f could not get a night's rest. The secretions many times were almost like blood. Remedies that helped other people did not help me at till, and 1 did not expect to jr< t well.
