WILL OPPOSE TILLMAN
The Prohibition State Chairman to
Run for the Senate.

Mr.. \. c. Jones, chairman Of the
State executive committee Of the prohl-
bitionists, gives out the following sign
ed announcement to the Democratic
voters of Sonth Carolina. His race,
it seems, all depends upon the endorse
ments Of the prohibition Democrats:
To the Prohibition Democrats OF the
State:
Believing that Senator Tillman is
largely responsible for our defeat IN the
late primary election; that he IS more
responsible than any other man in the
State for the opening Of the State dis,
pensary and the trouble and bloodshed
that have been caused by forcing 1t
upon the Democrats Of South Carolina,
| have decided to ask the prohibition
Democrats Of the State to endorse me
as candidate before the Democratic
primary in 1900 for United States sen.
ator to succeed Senator Tillman. And
if they do so, l will then discuss the
merits of the dispensary before the peo-
ple. and endeavor as Democrat who IS
deeply interested in the welfare Of the
people and the good name OF my State
to convince them that the State dis
pensary should be closed to the sale OF
whiskey as beverage and that South
Carolina as a State should wash her
hands of this Infamous business and
the men who inaugurated this corrupt
political machine within her borders.
T favor a prohibition law for the whole
State. but would be willing after the
State had passed this law to exempt
such counties as by, two-thlrds vote
of the Democrats Of the county, would
ask to be permitted to sell under eoun-
ty control, according to the provision
Of the present State constitution: FRO,
vided, such county would assume all
the expenses of the enforcement OF the
law and the responsibility connected
with its sale after it was exempted
from the State law. If the prohibition
Democrats decide that they think best
to endorse some other Democrat for
the position, I will cheerfully ABIDE
their decision and support loyalty
whomsoever they endorse. From
business standpoint | could not afford
to give up my present position for that
of United States senator, and l Lave
no desire for political honors unless l
can by enjoying them honor. the peo-
pie who confer them upon me, but
there is no sacrifice that could make
for the good people and name OF my
State that l would not Willingly make
if called upon to do so.
A..C. Jones.

Killed hY Mistake.

\ dispatch from San Juan says that a
Porto Rican residing at Aguadilla, near
Mayaguez, asked protection Of poth
the American and Spanish troops "a
gainst depredations by outlaws which
it was predicted would occur. In re-
sponse to his request the American
authorities sent to his residence two
soldiers of Kentucky regiment. who
arrived there Sunday evening after dark.
The resident had not notified the
Spaniards that he had requested Amer
lean protection, and some Spanish
soldiers, who had been sent to guard
his house arrived after the Americans
and mistook the latter for outlaws. In
the confusion resulting the Spaniards
fired, unfortunately killing one of the
Americans. The name Of the dead
soldier has not yet been ascertained.
The incident is greatly regretted by
the Spaniards.

There Was But One.

A large number Of the members Of
the Confederate Memorial Literary So
ciety, which some time ago purchased
the old White House Of the Confedera-
cy, at Richmond, Va, and established
therein large Confederate museum:
held meeting at the museum and dis
cussed in animated tones the action Of
some Of the Southern and Chicago Con-
federate Veterans in suggesting Miss
Lucy Lee Hill as the successor Of the
late Winnie Davis, Daughter of the
Confederacy. They decided unani-
mously that there could be no success
or to Miss Davis, who was the only
woman who was born in the White
House Of the Confederacy, and there
fore she alone was entitled to the dis
tinction. They all agreed that Miss
Hill is one of the most popular and
highly esteemed of all the Southern
girls, but could not accept the sugges-
ton regarding her.

Hugpiug Must Cease.

The boys and girls are much con-
cerned in the proposed changes in the
rules for the dancing Of the waltz, and
some of them seem 70 fear the correc-
ton of certain abuses will remove all
the pleasure from the dance. 1t has
been decreed in the up to date dancing
schools that hugging must stop, and
the dancing masters have been evolv-
ing ideas as to the proper manner IN
which the waltz should be danced. The
waltz is not to be banishcd from socie-
ty programmes, but it will be regulated
and made to conform to rules adopted
by the dancing teachers. Henceforth
the young man who slides over the
waxed floor holding his fair partner
like grizzly bear may be ruled out Of
society. At any rate, the American
Society Of Professors Of Dancing ha
decided to apply remedy that will re
move all Objectionable features Of tbs
round dance; in fact, the professors
have decreed that hugging while dance
ing must stop. The question Of how to
correct the Objectionable features Of
the waltz is one that has been discussed
and studied by the teachers Of the
terpsichorean art for many years. But
this season the criticism became so
severe al over the country that Ii was
necessary to change things without de-
lay. There is but one proper position
to assume while waltzing, says an au-
thority, and that is the right one. The
dancers should face each other, the lady
standing little to the right. The
mans right hand should be placed at
his partners back just above the waist

No Principle Involved.

We do not feel and we do not profess
much interest in the success of the
Democratic State tickets in New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut. The
party managers there have run away
from the national platform in the be-
lief that by ignoring the silver issue
they can win. 1t doesn't make the
least difference to US Of the south
whether Democrats or Republicans get
the local Offices in the northern States.
What we are interested in is the pro-
motion of the national policies repre-
sented by the Chicago platform. If
Democratic victory in State is to
mean no more than the filing of the
Offices of that State with a new set
of politicians, if the elections are not
to test the sentiment Of the people as
to proposed legislation, we will not
have JOY or sorrow in the result. what
ever it may be.-State.

Put Up or Shut Up.

A writer in the News and Courier
mentioned farmer who after measur-
ing a field of corn from which he said
he gathered % bushels an acre last year,
made careful estimate OF what that
corn had cost him. counting taxes, in
terest on the value Of the land, labor,
seed, fertilizers, farm implements, etc.,
and found that it came to little less
than ten cents bushel. Col. i. ". You
mans of Barnwell, throws down chal-
lege to the News and Courier He says:
Il desire to say that l will furnish the
land and stock and the implements,
place the labor handy, and house it and
lay ten cents for every bushel, that
practical farmer, the Editor Of the
News and Courier, or anybody else can
produce; provided. they bring certifi-
cate Of ordinary intelligence and of
sound mind. The News and Courier
refers the matter to the gentleman who
reported the cheap crop.

day afternoon at / clock, after an i'll
ness of about six weeks. Mr.. Bayard
was born in Wilmington, Del, on Au-
gust 90, 1928. He entered public life
early and made rapid progress. He
was elected to the United States Senate
in 1868 with his father for a colleague,
the only circumstance Of the kind that
has occurred in the history Of the
country. He was presidential candi-
date in 1880, and was second to Han
cock, who was nominated at the second
ballot. In 1854, he was called to the
position Of secretary of state by Presl-
dent Cleveland, and during Mr. Cleve-
land 5 second term, served as ambassa-
dor to the court of st. James. The
funeral was held Thursday in Whining

\ dispatch from Havana says at nine
clock Wednesday morning the official
exhumation of the remains of Column
bus took place in the presence Of Gen.
Blanco Secretary Gown. the civil
governor, the bishop and the dean Of
the cathedral. The general public were
ordered out of the cathedral, and no
one was allowed inside after that hour.
The entrance to the cathedral was
guraded by force Of the Orden Pub
leo. which kept back the crowd which
assembled in front of the cdi6ce. The
remains of Columbus had lain in their
resting place since January, 1896. when
they were brought from Santo Domingo,

der Lieut.. Hobson in the work of say
ing the wrecked Spanish warships has
succeeded in floating the cruiser In
fanta Maria Teresa. The cruiser after
being got afoat was taken in tow by
the Potomac, and, conveyed by the
cruiser Newark, the Scorpion and Alva-
RADIO, proceeded for Guantanamo bay,
where she arrived last right. The sue
cessful issue Of the attempt was greeted
with the blowing Of whistles, the firing
Of national salutes and by cheers, in
which the Cubans joined, disturbing
the noon siesta. Off Sibvney the ba-
rometer and the wind indicated the ap-
proach Of hurricane and the towing
power was increased. The Newark,
under Capt. Goodrich, rendered valu
able assistance in the work OF saving
the Maria Teresa. The cruiser is be-
ing put in condition for her trip north
BY the repair ship Vulcan.

John Wanamaker. If these seceders
would concentrate their votes upon Mr..

can convention in Connecticut last
week defeated Mr.. Porter, President
McKinley's secretary, for the guberna-
torial nomination, and left seeds Of
discord which will sure bear fruit.
The Porter element denounced the

state. and the ring" in reply defed
Porter and his friends in very strong
language. If what each Of these fac
tions says about the other is true, hon
est Republicans in either cannot ath!l-
ate with the other crowd. The Repub-
licans of Massachusetts, are quarrellng,
and in Maryland, they seem to be all
to pieces. In Ohio the feud between
the two Republican factions is so bitter
that Governor Bushnell has lett the
state to avoid participation in the cam
paign; John Sherman is pouring hot
Shot into the administration, and prom
inent Republican leaders are declaring
that Hanna should be in the penitentia-
ry instead Of the senate. All IS not

There are other states in which the Re

tion seems to have made permanent
rent in the party. Great as was Presi-
dent McKinley's plurality in 1895, we
doubt he would not have been elected
except for the almost solid vote Of the
Independents and Of host Of boiling
Democrats. The Republican party is
far worse divided now than itwas then:

Cotton in Texas.

One day this week Houston, Texas,
received IL. S47 bales Of cotton-l, 800
carloads of it. weighing 100000
pounds and valued at 81 ,G00'000. Over
10. 600 acres of land were required to
produce this cotton, the Houston Post
says, and it cost Sl65, 600 to pick it, the
picking representing the labor of 2, 400
men for one month. Such we're one
dry's receipts in Texas town. yet we
in South Carolina go on trying to COM
pete with Texas in the growing Of cot
ton when Texas fixes the price-State.

of governors of States and territories

We Should Take It.

There is fine, large steel floating
dock at Havana. 1t was towed there
shortly before the outbreak Of the war.
1t is large enough to accommodate the
largest af our warships. Since the dock
is not automobile, it is claimed that
it must be surrendered with the other
stationary public property in Cuba, and
will become the property of the new
government of Cuba: or Of the United
States as protector of Cuba and admin
istrator of the affairs Of the island,
pending the establishment of a perma-
nent Cuban government. \ dock OF
the kind in the Caribbean is needed by
the navy.
