A GENTLE ROAST
Given Ex-senator M. G. eu;ie /.
by Tho State.
OFFICIAL PAP RUINED HIM.
Never Will Forgive tho Puopis Of
tho State for Preferting
Bon TiI!inan TO Him.

During the last presidential oam-
paign Ex-senator NJ. @. Butler, of
this State, came out for Mckinley,
snd recently he has had an inter
view with the Washington Times In
which he reitera'e his former posi-
ton that the Republican policies are
the st. The Columbia State, in com
mouting on the Elk Senator's change of
heart say there are various ressous
which may account for his attitude. One
is that he has never ft rgotten nor for
given his defeat fer reel, ion to the
senate by Ben Tillmaa. and this dis
appointment has evidently tinctured
his views of the ruling political seuti
ment in South Osrolins; for we find him
declaring that popular constitutions al
g vernment is iu much more darger
from demagogism, socialism, populis III,
anarcbism, and suoh heresies and falia.
cles" than from imperialism and mill
tarism. Another reason is that Gen.
Butler. was not long ago a representa-
tive of this same niIitarism, holding I.
mai generals commission in tho
OhitS1 Oia'Nd 2TmV UY IN y
gift Of President McKiuley. The
presid ant was very Kind to Gen. Butler
and that gentleman found militarism =
not unpleasant experirrce a further
reas on ay perhaps be found in tt c cir
cdmstince that Gen. Buffers present
and recent professional sssoc a,ions in
Washington havo been with corporate
and financial elements holding, like
himself, that the prevalence Of the doc
trines he is pleased to term "demsgog-
ism, socialism, populism," etc, may
'necessitate the employ ment Of force
to preserve public order, the rights of
property and the enforcement Of the
law"
So Gen. Butler speaks as one who
was once Of aud for us in South Car
DINA but is go no longer. He has
found other friends and developed
other sympathies. We are not sur,
prised at his assertion that if he bad
been in the senate he would have
voted just as McLaurin did, with the
exception perhaps of his vote for tho
ship subsidy bill-slthough we do not
SEQ any reason why he should make
this one exception, ipasmuSh as the
advocacy of subsidies hsrmo1izes with
the advocacy of prohibitiye Gar;G

w. Il. S. NOTES.

The defeat OF the football team at Wood
stock the 9th opened the eyes of the team
and the school to the fact that they were
not invincible, as they had considered them
selves, but the showing of the team was
creditable, considering that this is the first
team that the school has supported, while
Woodstock has had a football team for
the last IL years or more. The team is ca
pable of doing much better work than it
has done. Each man must work as hard
as he can and not rely on the other ten to
advance the ball or stop the other side.
Games in the near future are expected with
Woodstock, w. X. Junction, Goddard and
Randolph teams. 1t is the duty of every
boy in the school, who is physically able,
to get out to practice and have a strong
second team TO play against the regular
team and give them hard practice. In view
of the fact that there is some opposition to
football playing, first, because it takes
time away from studies and, secondly, be-
cause it is dangerous, a short defence would
be timely. The game adds great deal OF
life and health to every one who takes
part in it, keeps The scholars from their
usual dizziness and their added strength
will stay with them right through the
year; it will also turn their minds from
gambling games, ETC., OF which there has
been complaint in the past. A few bumps
and sprains are nothing compared with
the added health. Concern shou be
shown for those who do not play instead
of the players. In the Woodstock game
the Bethel boys played good clean game.
The line up was as follows:-

The attention OF the authorities has been
called by Superintendent Soule Of the Z.
V. r. r. to the dangerous practice some
small children, attending the Whitcomb
High school, have of playing in front Of
coming trains at the crossing. Conductor
Parmalee, of the afternoon mail, reports to
the superintendent a very aggravated case,
which happened last week. In his report
the conductor says: '.The school children
OF Bethel make a practice Of running back
and forth across the track in front Of trains
at crossing north of the bridge, and today
there were about four or five little girls
about four 10 six years old, who kept
crossing until | stopped the engine in CEN
ter Of crossing and ! came very close to the
children. This matter should be taken up
by the authorities at Bethel, as it has be-
come a nuisance. These children were so
young that would have run over them il
/ had not been able to stop at short notice"
Ii is great source of wonder to those liv-
ing near this crossing that no pupil has
been killed, as many hair breadth escapes
have been witnessed.
