TIE CAMPAIGN FOR GOVERNOR.

Governor Ellerbe, ex-State Senator
r. 3. Watson and State Senator Ar
cher have personally announced their
candidacy for Governor from Colum-
bia, where such announcements seem
TO have their birth. The Spartanburg
Herald is authority for the announce
ment that former Solicitor Schum-
pert of Newberrv will be in the race,
and that he has made the announce
ment of his candidacy.
Capt. James H. Tillman, while in
the city a day or two ago, made the
unreserved statement that his father,
Col. George D. Tillmap, will be IN the
race, and that he will be winner. He
outlined the platform in part.
Now, this does not look as if there
will be dearth of candidates, aud
the chances are that there Will be sew
eral new candidates in the field be-
fore two months have passed. The
chances are that the field will be ma
terially changed in a month or two,
that is, when the returns begin to
come in as to how candidates are TAX
ing, and what chances there are for
certain candidates.
There is some talk about the hotels

No MOney For Suicides.

In the United States Supreme
court se,Washington, D. c., recently,
Justice Harlan handed down an
option in the case of Howard
Ritter, executor of William NJ. Runk
VS.. the Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany of New York, involving the
question whether the heirs of a man
who commits suicide when in sound
mind can recover on an insurance
policy, The court held that they
could not. 1t appeared from the
facts stated that Mr.. Runk, resident
of Philadelphia, committed suicide
within less than year after increas-
ing his insurance to the extent OF
100000 upon his life. OF the 5000,
900 the New York company carried
$4,000, which it refused to pay on
the ground that Runk was sane when
he took his life 1t was shown in the
trial court that he had written a letter
the day before his death stating that
1t was his purpose 10 put an emu 10
his life, insurance money could be
collected for the payment Of his debts.
In deciding the case Justice Harlan
said that Wien an insurance company
entered into a contract to insure a
mans life neither party to the con-
tract could be supposed to have sui
eide in contemplation and it was not
intended in entering into such a con-
tract that the life of the person in
sured should be at option Of either
of the parties. Concluding he said
explicitly that no insured person
committing suicide and found to be
of sound mind could never recover
upon his policy

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

TAucust kohn in The News and Courer.l

rAueust kohn in The News and Courier
Columbia, February Especial:
The passage of the supply and
appropriation bills during the past
week were the most notable events.
It is a very unusal and at the same
time commendable thing for these
two most important measures TO get
through the House in the ordinary
progress of the work, As general
thing they have to be pushed through
and are not considered as they should
be. With plenty of time and after
careful consideration the two Vita
bills of the session were passed in the
House without material discussion.
and so carefully had the problem
been worked ont that there was aoso-
lutely no discussion of the tax levy as
reported by the committee, or OF any
of the other features Of that bill.
IS THE INCOME TAX LAW DEAD?
II is somewhat noteworthy that
there has been nothing heard or said
about the income tax law. 1t would
appear that it is intended to become
verv much OF dead letter. The
companion piece Of legislation, urged
by Governor Ellerbe, to provide for
a graduated license, went to the
wall eally in the session. Generally
there is strong fight made on the
appropriation bill, but such was not
the case this time. The only appro-
priation which was seriously interfer-
ed with was that of the South Car
olina College, and it appears that this
was brought about by a misunder-
standing of the facts with reference
to the fees and balances of the Col
lege, which made it appear that tie
College would get all that was want
ed without the full direct appropria,
ton.

CLEMSON AND WINTHROP.
The House showed a diSpositio

The House showed a disposition
by directing the division OF the prlvl-
lege tax between Clemson and Win
throp Colleges, to interfere with the
status quo. 1t was perhaps unfortu-
nate that this bill should have been
passed at all by the House on ac-
count of the possible construction
that will be placed on it. The Sen
ators already have their guns ready
for the bill, and as soon as it shows
its lead on the Senate side it will be
killed

The PROHIBITION BILL.

The greatest sensation OF the ses'
sion, however, outside Of the defeat
of Mr.. Epton, was the terrible shock
the members received when the
House, by a decisive vote, refused tc
strike out the enactins words Of Mr.
Childs' prohibition bill. There can be
no doubt about the surprise, and the
dispensary people have not yet quite
gotten over it. The policy now seems
to be to choke the life out of the bill
and this will no doubt be successful
The prohibition sentiment in the
House is strong-it is very strong
but it lacks organization. The oppo-
sition to the dispensary, as now con-
Quoted, is strong, and is growing, but
that, too, lacks organization. 1t is
absolutely without organization, with
out a head and without a definite
purpose. On the other hand the dis
pensary advocates are banded to-
gether for the perpetuation of that
| law. 1t is not an organization with
duly elected officers, or anGthing tan
gible on which you can put your
hand, but it is there, it is felt, it is
seen in its work and is almost to be
anticipated. 1t just shows the differ
ence between the work that can be
done. If the Prohibitionists and the
nti-dispensary advocates were to or
ganize, as did those who fought
against Mr.. Eptons confirmation,
there would not be shadow of a
doubt that the dispensary law would
not recognize itself after this General
Assembly got through with it. Mem
bers who have been friends of the
dispensary, and who are staunch Re
formers, told me that they voted for
the Childs bill simply because they
were not satisfied with the way things
are going, and they wanted change.
Mr.. Simkins' bill, with proper push,
will 60 through, but it does not carry
out the popular idea of leaving the
settlement of the problem to eacn of
the counties, but simply solicits an
expression from the people of the
State as whole; that is better than
nothing, but what is desired is an
Act that will carry results with #, and
indicate that if the people vote for
prohibition they shall have it, and
not have the issue side-tracked, as it
has been for years, and if the people
vote for licensing the sale OF liquor,
under the constitutional restrictions
that it can be had without bucking
up against the terrible pressure that
the d;spensary can bring to bear on
any measure through its officials and
employees generally from one end of
the State to the other, who are look
ing for the retention of their posi-
tions, they shall have it.
The disposition, however, seems to

sue Of the approaching campaign. 1t
did look a. one time as if the matter
of higher education would figure
prominently in the campaign, but the
dispensaly seems to be the one vital
issue from the present outlook.

Montana Will Welcome Him.

IF President Mckinley and Mrs. Nc
Kinley, who expect to visit the
Omaha exposition, extend their trip
to Montana. the people of this state will
welcome them with all the heartiness of
Rocky-Mountain hospitality and with
the loyalty Of good American citizen
ship.
This mornings Washington letter
from Mr.. Hosford remarks that Mrs.
Mckinley is anxious to make the yell
lowstone-park tour. 1t isn't quite the
height of the season for that trip-at
least. II will not be by the time the
presidents party has completed the
round of sightseeing at Omaha: really
the second two weeks in August and
the first W in September are choice
days for the run through the park.
However, If the president manages to
arrive at Cinnabar before the end Of
September. he will come within the linn
Its usually set for the park tour. At
the Upper Basin. at the canyon, on the
formation" at the Lake, he'll see sights
that will make him open his eyes wide
and wonder at the unmatched majesty
and grandeur of nature in the ~free-coin-
age region of the United States.
Besides. If the president visits Mon
tana's cities and stays long enough to
get his finger on the public pulse he will
conclude that Senator Carter couldn't
possibly nave known what he was talk
ing about when he recently assured the
Washington goldbugs thai after next
March Montana will have two Mckinley
men I'm the federal senate.

Miles at the Front.

n NOw we shall see what we shall
M see. This mornings news is
that the commanding general
of the army has issued an order hat
flies in the face Of the recent orders
of the secretary of war. The contro-
versy that will follow, involving these
two men in the military branch. isn't
the chief thing; the vital and refresh
ing fact is that one of Secretary AL
gers fever-breeding camps is to be
broken up summarily.
General Miles has ordered that Camp
wikoff be Immediately abandoned and
all the soldiers sent away from there
When Miles issued this order the word
wired to him was that it was contrary
10 the Instructions received at the
camp from Secretary Alger. Never
mind what General Alger said an
swered Miles. these are my orders
so says the press dispatch.
Like all other camps selected by Sec
rotary Alger. this Camp Wikoff was
thoroughly bad Sick men were
brought to il in ships unfit for the
transporting Of cattle. They could
not be landed directly at the camp; a
railway trip interviewed. and the public
has settled down to the conclusion that
the camp was chosen by Alger as the
result Of a deal in the interest of this
railroad rather than with reference to
comfort for the soldiers. What the
lack of water failed To furnish in
making the camp utterly bad was fur
nished by the n~eighboring swamps and
stagnant pools. Camp Wikoff proved
10 be a pest hole. II was in the plans
Of Secretary Alger TO keep II in opera
ton for weeks or months to come:
after his recent visit to IL, he had the
assurance tn praise h place, declar-
ing that il was an ideal selection for a
convalescent amp.
These plans of the secretary are
turned upside down by the aggressive
action Of General Miles. whose course
unauestionably, will command popular
approval.
