have been here two days, and have
talked with them frankly, explaining
the situation.

in Washington toward Port Royal,
and when the secretary of the navy ad-
dressed letter to Senator Hale call
ing attention to the desirability of
suspending all further expenditure of
money at Port Royal and considering
the advisability of transferring the
station to Charleston. I determined to
take neutral attitude as between the
two ports and direct my efforts to pro-
tecting the interests of the state, so
that if Port Royal lost the station
Charleston would certainly gain it,
and also to obtaining an absolutely
impartial Investigation of merits Of the
two places. I did not draw the amend
ment and did not vote for it in COM
mittee, but it passed unanimously.

Union Troubles Ended.

The result of DR.. Evans trip to Un-
ion, where he was detailed to straight
en- out the vaccination contention, has
been made known by the fling of his
formal report upon the trip, which
reads as follows:
To His Excellency, Governor NJ. B.
McSweeney, Columbia, S. C.-Dear
Sir: In my investigation Of the small
pox situation at this place I have found
three families infected with the dis
ease in Mill Town, which has popu-
lation of about three thousand, and is
the locality in which the operatives OF
the Union Cotton Mills reside. Vac
cinstion is imperative to prevent the
further spread of the disease. Two
thousand of the population of the
town have been recently, and in the
last two or three years, vaccinated. l
have arranged for the prompt vaccina-
tion of the remainder who are not pro-
tected. I have the assurance in the
prosecution of the work of the coop
Grafton and assistance of the city au-
thorities, the local board of health and
President Duncan of the Union Cot
ton Mills. JAMES EVANS, N. D.,
Secretary State Board of Health.

candidate already announced. Mr..
Scarborough, the present lieutenant
governor, seems undecided whether to
hold to that which he has or pit him
self against Congressman Norton.
Politicians and statesmen OF heavy
ccliber are keeping very qaiet. While
quite batch of strong men have been
named in connection with the govern
orship, none has been announced as a
candidate. Governor McSweeney is,
of course, going to be in the field,
while j. D. Pattison of Barnwell may
be put down as another certainty.
The name of Ex-Governor John G.
Sheppard, of Edgefeld, has been re.
peatedly mentioned in this connection,
but 50 far Colonel Sheppard has said
and done nothing to indicate that he
would do more than again he candi-
date for state senator. Solicitor Shum-
pert, of Greenville, another strong
man, has also been mentioned for the
governorship, but has not himself
spoken. -.
The entry OF the Prohibitionists into
politics causes considerable specula-
tion. They have already determined
to put two candidates for state ofic es
in the feld-governor and lieutenant
governor.
Charleston Will BE Crowded.
Extensive preparations are being
made at Charleston for the entertain
ment of the National Educational AS
sociation, which will hold it's next
annual convention in that city the
week beginning July 9th. Fully ten
thousand delegates will attend. OF
this number there will be many ladies,
and the entire country will be repre-
sented at the gathering. President
Mckinley and General John B. Gordon
are among the invited guests, who in
all likelihood will be present, and the
list of delegates will include promi-
nent educators from all parts of the
United States.
How to handle all these visitors is a
question which has given much con-
sideration to the business people of
Charleston. The work, however, has
been on for some months, and every.
thing now is practically in shape for
the reception of the convention. As
it cannot possibly be expected that
hotel accommodations can be provided
for so many visitors, the private homes
in the city will be thrown open and
the educators will be warmly and hos
pitably received. There will be am
pie and convenient accommodation for
every person who visits the city.
The Thomson auditorium, which
was built last year for the entertain
ment of the United Confederate Vet
Grams, Will be used for the meetings,
and other large halls in the city will
be pressed into use for the meetings
of the various committees of the asso-
citation. Since the erection of the
auditorium many conventions have
been captured for Charleston, and
many invitations are still outstand-
ing.

A Columbia special says: Candidates
for the state Offices are slowly coming
to the front. State Treasurer W. H.
Zimmerman has announced that he
will stand for reelection. He has had
no opposition for two terms, and there
is no indication that his right to the
office will be contested this year.
N. W. Brooker, for some time con-
nected with the public land depart
ment, states his intention of being IN
the race for comptroller general, while
Mr.. Derham, the incumbent, will
stand for reelection.
Indications are that there will be
several candidates for lieutenant gov

for in the last race, Mr.. McSweeney,
the present governor, being the only
candidate. Colonel John T. Sloan, of
Columbia, will be ansaspirant for this
position, and it will be the first time
for many years that Columbis has
been represented among the candi-
dates. C. L. Winkler, of Camden,
