CA1TlfIS RUMOR BE TRUE? ?
Eefiafor TiIlman is Accredited
with Bringing Out a Candi-
date for Governor.

e The Manning Times, edited b.
Senator Applet, has the following
editorial in its last issue concerning
a rumor that Senator Tillman is TAX
inga hand in the gubernatorial cons
, test:
There is a rumor floating about
the State that Senator Tillman is the
main influence which inspires Hon.
Frank B. Gary's candidacy for
gubWnatorial honors. Whether there
is any foundation for the rumor we
do not know, and hope it is not true.
We do know that Senator Tillman is
very friendly to the Gary family and
he has manifested that friendship in
many ways. He made the mistake
of bis political life when he under
took to save John Gary Evans from
defeat, That was not his Judgment,
but heSpermitted his name to be aflix-
el to The circular, entirely from a
spirit of fricndliness to the Gary
family. We doubt exceedingly If
there is member of that family who
would have been heard from at
all as far as high political hon
ors are concerned, had it not
been for Tillman. He is their
political father, and through him
nearly the entire connection,
near and rem>te, have been, and are
now, filling prominent positions, both
of honor and emoluments. We think
it high time and very proper, after
such long and careful training THAI
Senator Tlliman turn his protegCs
loose, and let them take their chances
without his aid. If Colonel Gary,
Llost excellent gentleman, wants to
be Governor he should como forth
and present his claims to the people.
lie should not wait to be carried
about in the arms Of his political
father, for that father is under obi.
cations to many men throughout the
State soAe Of whomrmay be aspir-
ants lore ---:-l -hanors Son
ator Tillman will be a candidate nm
self and VIC hope he will be re, elected
to succeed himself to the United
States Senate, and this being so, We
think he ought not to take hand
in the gubernatorial race, and that
he should permit all of the aspirants
to paddle taeir own canoes.

Mr.. n. J. Alversoa on the night of
the 22nd, given by their entertaining
and charming daughter, Miss Julia.
There were moro gents than ladies
present and when the drawing was
done number Of US drew blanks,
but the more fortunate ones were soon
very busy hemming their partners
aprons, and some of the most awk;
ward sewing was done. Mr.. Wallace
Sanders won the prize for making
shortest stitches and it was almost a.
tie between several for the worst, but
Mr.. Jesse Graham was declared the
winner. 1t was quite an enjoyable
occasion.
Candidates will be out in full blast
ere long. Cross Keys will be repre-
sented by competent and worthy
men, but there is one great trouble,
all candidates, can't be elected as
there is not enough offices to so
around. u. 3.

Must Give Up Cigarettes.

Washington, March 25.-A death
blow was given cigarette smoking in
the weather service Saturday when
Chief Willis L. Moore issued an order
prohibiting persons connected with
the service from smoking cigarettes
during Office hours, and stating fur
ther that those who smoked cigarettes
at any time would be mentioned in
the confidential reports, which are
made quarterly to him by chiefs Of
the several offices and divisions
throughout the entire service.
The order is plainly worded and
the chief evidently means that it shall
he obeyed.
"The order was issuel after care :
fll consideration and investigation Of
the evils from cigarette smoking. 1t
will stand. In this service we are
compelled to maintain very strict
discipline in order to secure sati>fac-
tory service. Some of our men, who
are regarded as the most thorough

their work with the utmost promp-
ness and accuracy, gradually became

servant | feel that it is my duty to
correct any evil which may exist,

claim that ! am over-stepping my

Owing to the incessant wet weather
farmers are behind with their plow

ones who are about ready to plant
cotton.
Land prepared wet this spring will
not help to make that fifteen million

There is great demand now for
corn, fodder, hay, shucks, in fact
anything that will help the poor mule
to keep going till the grass gets a
