My dear Sir.-When w. j. Wood
was here (about three weeks before
the writing of this letter. I asked hin
to tell the governor the situation, with
the hope that the governor would i'm
mediately order an election. I also
stated ITO Judge Wood, both personally
and in writing, that I would devote
myself to the interests of the district
until the arrival of my successor. I
feel more deeply than I can express
the embarrassing position in which I
have been placed.
with high regards,
Truly your friend,

THE SEABOARD'S NEW ROUTE.
Cheraw-C Columbia Division Accepted
by Railroad Commissioners.

Columbia, S. c., April 1.-THE Sea-
board Air Lines new line from Co
lumbia to Cheraw. completing the new
Florida route, was inspected today and
accepted by the railroad commission Of
this state. The commissioners
state in their report that they take
pleasure in saying that I'VE consider
this road we'll built and first-class in
every particular, in TACT you have
built one of the best roads ever con-
structed in the SOUTH"
The work was begun in July last,
under the supervision of Captain ". E.
McBee, general superintendent, and, for
its length and for the obstacles over
come, is the fastest piece Of railroad
construction in the south. In his city
alone 100000 cubic yards of dirt were
removed, preparing for terminals and
in obtaining a route.
The rails are the heaviest and
broadest-S0 pounds. There is no
grade of over one per cent, no curve
Of more than our degrees. The en-
tire road bed is stone ballast, and
trains run as smoothly as over a
track long built.
The mileage from Washington to
Columbia owe this route is 46S miles,
against 48S I'VE the Southern, and
the ~Seaboard's line between Tampa
and New oYrk will be ITO miles shorter
than any other.
By its construction nearly all grade
crossings have been obviated and
h entire line has been constructed
with a view to directness n to fast
and comfortable rave.
A passenger service will be naug-
urated at once and a through vestibule
service from New York to Tampa will
be running at an early date.

LIQUOR IN THE CUSTOM HOUSE.
Report on Investigation as to Contra
band Liquor in Charleston Customs
House.

Washington, April 1.-THE secretary
Of the treasury has received a report
from the special agent who has ON
Quoted the investigation of the report
ed use of the custom house at Charles
ton, S. c., for the tOrag of contra
band LIQUORS for Illicit sales. The search
of the building by the inspector and
q number of assistants resulted in the
finding Of a cask containing about fiji
teen gallons of rum and thirty-nine 10
gallon kegs from which the liquor had
found in the basement and the Empty
recently been taken. The rum was in
kegs in the attic. A number of Off
GERS employees of the custom house
were asked for an explanation of the
finding of the liquor, but all disclaim-
ed having any knowledge concerning
il, except one of the night watchmen
who admitted having allowed some OF
his friends to keep the liquor there.
Other testimony disclosed information
which leads the officers making the
investigation to believe that the liquor
belonged to a certain individual in
Charleston who has a wholesale liquor
dealers license. The conclusion of the
officials is that a certain deputy col
lector is responsible for the storing of
liquors in the custom house and that
several employees had full knowledge of
it. The report is accompanied by
copies of the testimony taken. Tn
~reasur officials have taken nc ac-
tion in regard to the matter, but there
seems to be no doubt that the guilty
parties will be Immediately brought to
Justice.

Association.

Charlotte, n. c., April 12.-The
Southern Hosiery Yarn Spinners' AS
ISOLATION met mere today. The meeting
was presided owe by President Cnas.
A. Adamson. Among the commission
nlen present were: Alex. Mitchell, of
James E. Mitchell & Co, Philadelphia;
William A. Spellesey and F. w. D.
Oliver, of William =. Olier & Co.. of
Hyde & Co., of Philadelphia.
The following schedule OF prices was
adopted: SIS and 6's, II cents; rs and
SIS, 17k cents; 9's, 17% cents; los Is
cents; lis to 22's rise &c per number;
23's to 4O's rise of hc per number.
The mills have agreed to discontinue
the payment of second freights" and
in future will pay freight to either
Philadelphia, New York, or Boston, or
if shipped direct to customers, to what
ever city in the asst the customer may
desire.
The officers of the association stated
that it was not the purpose indiScusS-
ing the schedule of prices to undertake
to stimulate prices further, but only
to bring the schedule in accordance
with the actual markets. The subject
of a uniform contract was taken UP
to be discussed by the commission in
dealing with the users of the hosiery
yarn. The purpose in undertaking to
formulate a uniform contract was to
get a contract that both sides would
have to keep. 1t was claimed that the
purchaser of the yarn did, in many
cases, ~repudiate their order when it is
their advantage to do so, but on the
contrary they hold the mill to a strict
enforcement of the contract when it is
to their interest. More was said about
the subject of commission men buying,
or acting as dealers when hey were
supposed to be acting as commission

MACRUM SAYS 1T is A LIE
That There is no Evidence at Pretoria
of His Mail Having Been Tempered
With.

East Liverpool, Ohio, April 11.-Hon.
Charles E. Macrum, ex-consul to Pre-
toria, S. A. r., aid today regarding
the statement that onsul General
Adelbert Hay had failed to find n
evidence of the consular mail being
tempered with during Mr.. Macrum's
stay at Pretoria:
This is such a palpable perversion
OF the truth that it is impossible to al
low the matter to pass unnoticed, as it
seems to have come from the state de-
partment. This statement is on a par
allel with he malicious representa-
tions which came from the same de-
partment before I reached this coun-
try. If proofs of all my charges are
not on file at the consulate in Preto-
ria it is because they have been will
fully distracted therefrom. In short
I want to say hat the statement pub
lished today is a lie, nothing more or
less 1 have been slandered and ma
lgned until / have become tired of it"

No further action by congress was
necessary or possible. The constitu-

is the fact. From this time on, con-
gress must look to the constitution for
