LExlNGTON's OVATION TO LEVER.

When the returns of the primary
election came in last Wednesday made
the nomination of Mr. Lever for Con-
gress certain beyond peradventure,
the friends and admirers of the young
statesman determined to hold rous-
ing mass meeting that night to give
vent to their jubilant feelings and to
serenade him in horor of bis splendid
victory.
That night the Hammer Hotel was
brilliantly Illuminated, the front piaz-
"a being lined from one end to the
other with Chinese lanterns and the
scene was pretty one and was IN
perfect harmony with the joyousness
of the occasion.
At the appointed hour the people
to the number of about 500 strong
congregated in front Of the hotel.
Fair women lent their presence to
the occasion, who were charmingly
and gracefully received by Mrs.
Minnie Meetze, the hostess, and
shown into the parlor where they
were interesting witnesses of the
ceremonies of the evening.
The excellent Irene Brass Band OF
Saxa- Gotha Mill discoursed popular
airs during the evening and contrib,
uted much to the pleasure of the
people.
J. A. Muller, Esq, a member OF
the Lexington Bar, was the master
of ceremonies and introduced the
two successful candidates in his usual
happy manner.
Amid a storm of applause Mr..
Lever was introduced. He appeared
pale and thoughtful being impressed
with the grave responsibilities which
had been placed upon him and realiz-
ing the trials and difficulties which
confronted him, but bis voice was
strong and not once did it falter
throughout the address. He spoke
of his large maiority and thanked
the other counties for the fattering
vote they had given him. He had
taken up the banner of Lexington
at Sumter and broughtit back tonight
in triumph unsullied. He pledged
himself to be the Representative OF
the whole district and his best efforts
would be given in promotingits every
interest. The only promise, however,
he had to make was that he would do
the best he could. He then touched
briefly upon some questions of ma
sional interest and then closed amid
prolonged applause and warm con-
gratnlations.
At the conclusion of his speech
Misses Winnie Harmap, Emmie Fox
and Lucille Efld, on behalf of the
ladies of Lexington, presented him
with a lovely waiter of beautiful cut
flowers.
MIR. John Bell Towill, the success
full candidate for the lower house of
the General Assembly, was then in
trcduced and made few timely re-
marks on the issues of the day. He,
too, was presented with a waiter OF
cut flowers by the same young ladies
mentioned above and for the same
purpose.
Thus ended very enjoyable love
feast.

Lexington county is iubilant over
the election Of Hon. A. Frank Lever
as the member of Congress from the
Seventh District to succeed the late
DR.. Stokes. Bon fires have been
kindled during the past week on
many harthstone throughout the
county and the people are rejoicing
over the realization of their ambition
to have a son of the people repre-
sent the District in the halls OF Con-
gress She is proud tf the fact that
one of her sons has been called upon
to assume the responsible duties de-
7olving upon Congressman.
But mingled with this universal
rejoicing from the stand point of
county pride, there is deep gratifca-
tion over the hattering support given
Mr.. Lever by the people OF the other
counties, which compose the District.
Out of total vote Of 737, Dorches-
ter gave Mr.. Lever 305; Berkeley,
258 out of 700; RichlaDd, "a out Of
SO; Orapgeburg, 1852 out Of 1888;
Colletop, 603 out of 1922; Sumter,
7S4 out of 2,503; Levers vote in the
District, not including LexiDgton's, is
1926. Leave out the vote of Lex.
ington and Orangeburg-the home
county of the two candidates-Lever
carried the District by o msjolity Of
ia. This is why Lexi8gton feels SO
grateful for the support Of the
other counties The tiustful conf
dence in the ability and integrity OF
MIR. Lever to represent the entire
District is shown by the overwhelm-
ing majority given him by the peo-
pie of LeziDgton-those who know
him best and among whom he mingles
and commiDgles in the public and
private walks Of life. The total vote
of Lexington was 1888 of which
Mr.. Lever received 2,l62 and Mr..

Orangeburg, Mr.. Bran,leys home
county, was 3,33S of which Mr..
B.antley received 1886 and Mr..
Lever received 1852 Orangeburg
gave Mr.. Brantley 634 majority.
Lexington piled up the votes for Mr..
Lever to 1,743 majority. This is
glory CROUCH for one day.
Cincinatus like the call to duty
found Mr.. Lever in the field plough
ing and like him again he left his
plough-share in the furrow and
responded promptly to the appeal OF
his county and now that he has car
ried on successful campaign, which
was pitched on high plane, he has
returned to the labors of the farm.

SENATOR Carter thinks Senator Kalauokalani's
bill to provide for the exemption of certain personal
property from attachment is not properly drawn
and that it contains more than subject The
gentleman should read the bill again The only
subject it contains is that pertaining to just what
the title OF the bill describes OF it de-
scribes the property that be exempt in differ
ent sections which it should do to make it explicit
The trouble with Senator Carter seems to be that
he don't want the present disgraceful exemption
law repealed. He wants the family bible. two
swine or six goats one poi board. two calabashes,
table. six chairs, and few like articles to be
all that shall be exempt from execution. Senator
Kalauokalani's bill is one that should pass as it
stands so as to remove the present dsgraceful ex-
emption Law from the statute books of the Terri
tory. Mr.. Carriers contention that it contains more
than one subject is all bosh and only intended to
delay it.

According to the Evening Echo
which is very close to the throne, Gov
ernor Dole does not intend to comply
with the request of the House for the
correspondence between the local adj
ministration and the special envoy to
Washington who went there to lobby
for Dole's appointment and for the
confirmation OF illegal land transfers
AS all such correspondence is a part
of the public records The Republican
would suggest to the Governor that
he take the advice of Punch to those
about to be married, before he sends
in a communication refusing to com
ply with the Houses request.

THE WORLDWIDE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

nJHE REPUBLICAN published a telegram few
: days ago from London under date of February
u 9th. showing that the English language had
been made compulsory in examinations for ap-
pointments in the public service of France and that
it had also been introduced into the curriculum of
the German day schools. and optional study
in the commercial schools of Russia Some time
ago The Republican called attention to the wonder
full growth of English a world language. Japan
is using the language in nearly every department
of public instruction. and Mexico teaches it as a
part of the regular curriculum in her public schools
The recent treaty between Mexico and China was
written in English and translated into Spanish and
Chinese from the original for preservation by each
country.
Today the English language is spoken by more
people than any other language in the world with
the possible exception of Chinese 1t is widely
diffused over the world than any other language.
In all the history of the world no other language
has ever obtained such worldwide mastery in
all commercial fields as the English language has
today; and from being the language of commerce
it is fast becoming the language of diplomacy.
French giving way to it in transactions between
nations.
it is well for Hawaii that her people are making
the rapid strides they are in the use of the Eng
lish language. 1t is but natural for the Hawaiian
to love his native language and to desire to have
his children learn it and preserve it. But in this
age it is essential that the young should
be fitted to bat,e with the world in the best pos
sibe way. The Hawaiian language is limited to
the of few people. Under the most favorable
circumstances it would be impossible now for it to
make any material progress. Hawaii is the cross
roads of the Pacific This Territory is destined to
become of the great commercial centers of the
earth. Her will come into contact with the
keenest inteects of the world and it is the part If
wisdom to educate them in the worldwide English
language. Retain the Hawaiian in private. schools
and in the colleges for the present but in the
mon schools teach onysth language which will be
of every day use. not only in Hawaii but all over the
globe.

THE Senate did good piece of work yesterday
morning when it tabled the resolution of Senator
Brown providing for the printing of stenographic
report of the transactions of the Senate The
luton of Brown vicious in the extreme. 1t
not only provided for the printing of the steno-
graphic report of the transactions OF the Senate.
but abolished the printing Of the record Of the pro-
ceedngs kept by the Clerk which record is neces-
sariy the journal of the Senate. The evident OBJ
ject of the Brown resolution was to do away with
the printing of the journal that all proceedings
of the Senate would be Illegal and void. Beside
that. the printing of stenographic report of the
entire transactions of the Senate would cost thou
sands of dollars which would be simply thrown
away. The whole thing political trick and it
is well for the Territory that the Independent
bers of the Senate it in time to prevent the
resolution going into effect.
