S. M. A. Easily Defeats w. N. H. ST.
Score 40 to 0.

The game of football Monday after
noon between the Sumter Military
Academy and the Welch Neck High
School, of Hartsville, was one
sided affair, the home team walking
over the visitors and scoring eight
touch-doWns while their goal was
never in danger. The Hartsville
team had the advantage in weight
but were new at the game. This
was their first game and they have
been training only few days. The
Sumter boys on the other hand have
become well-versed in football. OF
course, they had things going their
own way but they showed good head
work and were fast in all their plays.
The only playing done on Rartsville
that is worthy of mentioning was
done by Jones and Flowers. For Sum-
ter, the whole team did good work

lomat, but he has all the charac-
teriSticS of his race nevertheleSs.
OF late, Hawaii has had more
than her share of political turmoil
and internal brawling. Now
comes the report that Governor
Sanford B. Dole has resigned and
that the official notice of his re
tirement is EN- route to Washing
ton. There is a strong opposition
to the gubernatorial incumh bent
in certain quarters and efforts
have repeatedly been made TO
smirch his official character. 1t
is not to be forgotten, however,
that the present Governor has ac-
compliShed a great deal for his
country, that he has been a re-
liable executive officer and that
his successor. if Mr. Dole has re-
signed. is likely to be more or less
of an experiment as we'll as the rep
reSentative of a faction that has
stirred up affairs in the Pacific
islands repeatedly since they pass
ed in the control of the American
Nation.

their actual worth i'll personal property
be said TO be a fulfilment of a promise
to pass law requiring euery person to
contribute in taxes according to the
actual worth of each.
Now, take mortgages. a man lends
to another man ten thousand dollars.
If the borrower gives a certificate of in
debtness at six per cent interest, the
lender Twill be assessed for five thous-
and dollars. He would pay the county
tax of eighty-five cents on the hundred
dollars, or forty-two collars and fifty
cents altogether. If the lender re-
qu'res mortgage for the ten thousand
dollar loan at six per cent interest,
then the lender would pay eight per
cent on the income of the mortgage or
eight per cent on six hundred dollars,
which would he forty-eight dollars.
On stock of dry-goods valued at ten
thousand dollars the owner would pay
eight-tive dollars county taxes. Here
are three things each of the same value
the ten thousand dollars loaned on a
certificate of Indebtedness; the ten
thousand dollars loaned mortgage.
and the ten thousand dollars invested
in dry-goods; and yet a different rate
of tax is imposed on them, and
this different rate produces clear
inequality, whereas if ereyy person had
been required to ray taxes according
to his actual worth in personal pr perty
there would have been an equ lily.
These facts show that the promise of
the Republican platform of 1895 was
not performed. Since the pledges of the
platform Of 1901 are to be as "sltrely"
performed as were those in the plat
form of 1885. it would seem that if those
of 1875 Were not performed those of 1901
will not be either; and it needs nothing
further than what we have stated to
indicate that in one particular at least,
the pledges of 1895 were not peri rmed.
The only way to have Y platform
promises performed is to elect the DEM
ocratic ticket. Elect that ticket and
no mistake will b. made

FAIR TO THE SOUTH.
President Roosevelt States his
Position to the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Presi.
dent Roosevelt made a statement
to the members of his Cabinet to.
day similer to that made to "Pri.
vate" j. NJ. Dalzell. The cues.
ton of the Presidents attitude TO.
ward the South was raised by the
President himself. The President
repeated substantially what he
had said to "Private" Dalzell-
that i'll all matters coming within
his province as President of the
United States he would know no
difference between North and
South and would feel under the
same obligation to give a good adj
mlnlStration to one section as to
the other. In the matter of Fed.
eral appointments he said that he
would have no more justification
for bad appointment in the
South than he would for such an
appointment in the North, and
that the fitness of the anpOinteeS
would be as scrupulOuSly regard
ed in the one case as in the other.
Without attempting to quote
his exact language it may be stat
ed authoritatively that he ex-
pressed a determination to be
governed in the matter Of appoint.
ments is the South by the rule
which he desired to apply to all
appointments, excluding all un.
worthy applicants whose claim to
consideration was based on politi.
cal leadership alone. He made it
plain that his present purpose is
not to give Federal appointments
in the South to carpetbaggerS and
scalawags who have gained prom
inence through partisan activity.
His declaration was broad enough
to convey the idea of determine
ton on his part to secure thor
oughly clean and respectable ad-
ministratiOn of Federal affairs in
the South, with as much regard
for the proprieties of appointment
as would be shown in any other
section of the country. His state
ment made an impression upon
the members of the Cabinet and
met with their approval.

SCHLEY A MARK FOR NAVAL
SYCOPHANTS.

The Schley Court of Inquiry con-
tinues to hear the evidence for and
against the hero of Santiago. The
more the probe is plunged into this I'M
fortunate affair the more apparent be-
comes the fact, generally suspected,
that there exists among certain por-
ton of the officers of our navy feeling
of dislike to Schley that is as unjust as
1t Is unwarranted. This gallant officer,
with record that is a shining mark
in the annals of our naval history, has
been prosecuted aud maligned by de
partmental and official clique ever
since the great conflict that made him
the popular idol. He is now the mark
for the venom of these sycophants, who
gladly bend low before Long, Crown
ingshield Ct a., "that thrift might fol-
low fawning." The majority of the
witnesses so far have been for the
Navy Department, and some of their
admissions, under Rayner's skillful
questioning, have been to Schley's adj
vantage. His friends have not yet
been heard, so the case is now one
sided. There is no doubt but that he
will come out of the ordeal with vic
tory, and the public everywhere side
with him and feel that he deserves Off
cial vindication. The popular verdict,
never to be recalled, was given when
the news of the destruction of Cevera's
fleet by the American squadron, Ad-
miral Schley in command, was received
July 3rd, 1898.

THE SUSPECTED
MURDERERS.

The action of Governor Durbin of
Indiana in Withholding the order for
the requsitian from Governor Beck
ham of Kentucky for the return to that
State for trial of w. 5 Taylor and
Charles Finley, charged with cont
piCity in the murder of Governor Goe-
bel, is causing just inclination all over
the land. When the President of this
country was shot down by cowardly
assassin, the people, irrespective of
party, creed or nationality, united in
general condemnation and expressed
their greatest sympathy for the afflicted
family of our dear President. How
strange the action of the Governor of
Indiana! The shooting of Governor
Goebel was one of the most dastardly
acts ever committed in this country,
and yet with all the talk we hear of
death to anarchists, we find the Gov
ernor of one of the sovereign States
shielding an escaped scoundrel and
one charged with completely in this
foul murder. If it was cowardly to
shoot our President, why not equally
outrageous to shoot down the Governor
of one of the great States of this Union?
Why not let the Republican party
show their manhood in the Goebel
case as the Democrats all over the land
showed their condemnation of the
shooting of Mr.. Mckinley.

The American cup defender.
Columbia. defeated the challenger
Shamrock III over a straightway
course to leeward and return, last
Saturday, by l minute and 90
seconds with time allowance of
43 seconds, or by 80 seconds ac-
tual time.
1t was a beautiful race and
thousands followed and watched
the masterful tactics of the rival
shippers.
1t was decided by the New York
and Royal Ulster yatch clubs in
conference on Wednesday that
the yachts should sail daily until
the series ends.
On Tuesday the yachts were
unable to cover the triangular
course of 80 miles within the
prescribed time of 5! hours and
the race was called off.
Yesterday, (Thursday,) the
yachts started at eleven O'Clock
a. m, for another attempt. The
wind was strong, about II miles
an hour. The Shamrock got off
first with the Columbia over a
minute behind.
A bulletin received at noon
Thursday says that the Shamrock
was leading by / mile, but the
Columbia was reducing it grad
ually. A later bulletin says the
Shamrock passed the first mark
one minute ahead of the Colum.
bla and on the second leg was
gradually increasing her lead.
COLUMBIA WINS SECOND RACE.
Columbia won the second race
for the America cup on Thursday
the Bird inst. A II knot breeze
sent the yachts along at a spank
ing pace and Columbia crossed
the line five lengths ahead of
Shamrock. The early part of
the race Shamrock led and it look.

made a garrison finish and made
her admirers exultingly happy.
