| ALLEN SCORES SAMPsoN.-In the SEN
ate last Tuesday, Mr.. Allen, accord
ing 10 an Associated Press dispatch,
read the alleged letter Of Admiral
Sampson opposing the appointment OF
warrant officers as ensigns, because
they had not enjoyed the social advan-
tages which Admiral Sampson held q
commissioned officer Of the navy should
have enjoyed to properly represent his
country abroad.
Mr.. Allen said the admirars action
proved beyond doubt that there was
"snobbish aristocracy in the navy
that is detrimental to the country and
disgrace to the country represented
by this officer and other like officers" ="
Because Gunner Morgan came from
the ranks of the plebians, said the
Nebraska senator Admiral Sampson
had taken occasion to thus relegate
him from the lists for advancement:
IF VIM. T. Sampson is the author
Of these endorsements" said Mr.. Allen
with vehemence, "he Is conceited ass,
and he ought to be marked down as
such. We are not bringing up in this
country a race of snobs. If I am cor
rectly informed there was time when
Sampson was no better than Charles
Morgan, the gunner.
He came from no better stock.
am glad to repeat that we are not rails
ing in the United States a class Of
bejeweled aristocrats. If this rank and
arrant coward is to be believed, the
time may never come in this country
when a poor boy may attain to such
position as his abilities warrant him
in holding.
Mr.. Allen concluded:
IT want to say to Sampson and his
friends that I am responsible for what
I say"

HOOSIER CORN PLANTERS.

IT. HE HOOSIER CORN PLANTER
l. has been on the market for more
than 80 years, and its popularity grows
as the years go by. It is made by the
same people who manufacture the cele-
brated Hoosier Grain Drill, and is just
as far ahead Of other makes Of plant
ers, as the drill Is ahead Of all makes
Of drills. Farmers who have used the
drill, as well as others, will appreciate
the force Of our claim. We sold the
planter last season for the first time,
and guarantee it unconditionally, on
the strength Of the reputation Of the
manufacturers. Read what farmers
who have bought 1t, have to say:
We have thoroughly tested the Hoo
sier Corn Planter with fertilizer attach
ment, and say unhesitatingly that 1t
does everything claimed for 1t. It does
the work we'll and accurately. It is
simple and strong in construction, cas-
lily and quickly adjusted to drop corn
any desired distance apart, and to put
down any desired quantity Of fertil-
iZer. It Is a great time and labor saw
er and can be handled with ease by
anyone who has sufficient intelligence
to manage an ordinary one-horse plow.
We recommend 1t to the craft" as a
time saver and money maker.

it is not improbable that Governor

Congressman w. J. Talbert Is slated
for governor by his friends. So are eX-
Governor John C. Sheppard, of this
place, and others from different por-

seems to be undecided whether Lieu
tenant James H. Tillman will run Tor
the position Of governor or for congress
to succeed Congressman Talbert. He
will offer for one of the positions and
will be a strong candidate for either
position with the chances of Winn1ngln
his favor. But he will not have
walk-over. Solicitor J. VIM. Thur

ty, and George w. Croft, Of Aiken, u.

will give him a fight for the place.

the only man named as probable sue

created this morning when man
walked into the store Of the A. H. Fos-
ter company and purchased some
wheelbarrows and announced that he
was going to renew work on what Is
known as the Three C's railroad, run.
ming from Blacksburg to Augusta.
The party said he was from the con-
struction department Of the South
Carolina and Georgia Extension rail-
road, and that on last Saturday night
he received a telegram at Blacksburg,
telling him to Immediately go to work
on the old bed of the Three C's. He
said he did not know anything further
than that he was ordered to go to
work on it. He now has two squads
Of men on it; one between here and
Blacksburg, and the other just below
town. He further said that all that
was probably wanted now was to get
the track laid and the necessary work
could be then done by the construc-
ton trains. The old Three Cs bed is
graded to within about eight miles of
Blacksburg and from here to Whit
mires and on to Newberry and Au-
gusta. After leaving Newberry it is
probably graded for a narrow gauge
but the party said it was wide enough
to take their regular crossties, and that
it could be made wider after the rails
were laid. People all along the line
are interested in the road and 1t Is to
be hoped that 1t will be finished, now
that it has been taken up.
A Quick Payment.
Mr.. Sam M. Cast, local agent for the
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
company, informed the reporter yes
terday, that he had received dispatch
during the day from State Agent Mat
tison, advising him that he, Mr.. Matti-
son, had received from the home office,
at Newark, N. j., check for $3'oOo
with which to settle the amount due to
Mrs. M. A. Thomas on account OF the
insurance policy held by her on the
life of her late husband, Mr.. G. E.
Thomas. Mr.. Grist expected the check
to reach Yorkville last night. The Mu-
tual Benefit company makes especial
claims for it's promptness In paying
death benefit. AS has been stated, one
Of the policies issued to Mr.. Thomas
was written on February 16 1900. The
second for $4,000, was delivered on Feb
ruary 13, last. Mr.. Thomas died on
ebruary 16 Completed proofs Of the
claim of Mrs. Thomas were mailed to
Mr.. Mattison on February 81. He sent
them to the home office on February
%, and the approved papers, with the
check for $4,000, reached him on the
2Sth. Mr.. Grist expects to deliver the
check to Mrs. Thomas today, COM
pleting the entire transaction within
Is days from the time Mr.. Thomas
died.

DR.. Williams decided to accept the ap-
pointment, and will do as directed
The appointment is the result of an
examination passed by DR.. Williams in
Atlanta, last August. He presented
himself for examination, along with a
large number Of other applicants, and
came away with remarkably fine
record-something like the best that
was made. He was advised at the
time that he would be appointed, and
has since been awaiting further in
structions. His many friends here,
however, are not in sympathy with
this arrangement. They, of course,
congratulate DR.. Williams on his sue
cess; but they are very sorry to lose
him from the community, where he
has been of so much value, and where
there seems to be so much promise for
him. DR.. Williams will probably leave
within a few days-on or before next
Tuesday at the latest. He will take
with him the best wishes of a host OF
friends.
Representative Beamguard, who Is
member of the legislative committee
appointed to arrange for lighting the
state buildings in the capital, return
ed Thursday from a meeting OF the
committee. Up to this time the state
buildings have been lighted by the Co.
lumbia Light and Power company for
the sum Of $2,700 year. The company
was unwilling to renew its contract at
the same figures and the committee
was appointed to secure lighting SER
vice on the most satisfactory terms
possible. Bids were submitted by the
Light and Power company and by the
Columbia Gas company. According to
the calculations Of the committee, the
electric peoples proposition called for
about $4,000 a year. The bid Of the
gas company was $4,000, to furnish
all the light required except six arc
lights, that will cost about $500. Mr..
Beamguard says the committee could
not understand why the electric peo-
pie should demand such considerable
advance over the prices at which they
have heretofore been furnishing lights,
and it was decided to give the contract
to the gas company. The committee,
of course, preferred electric light to
gas; but not at the difference in price.
It was decided therefore TO put up with
gas during the year, and unless the
electric people come to better terms
in the meantime, it is probable that
arrangements will be made later on
by which the state will operate an
electric plant of it's own. There is
something like so or Is horse power
available at the penitentiary, and it is
thought that this will be sufficient for
the purpose.

Mrs. Rooseyelt,s onlelal Lie.

While the things that Mrs. Roose-
welt must do are few in number and
simple, the things she must not do
are many, and sometimes real depri-
vations. But as all etiquette is really
common sense applied to small things,
these restrictions in effect make her
position far easier in the end. She
can attend few private entertainments
so few that it practically shuts her
out Of general society. Mrs. Harri
son, during her stay in the White
House, went to not more than half
dozen private parties. Mrs Cleve-
land scarcely exceeded that number.
Mrs. Mckinley never went to any,
The official dinners given by the
Cabinet officers to the President and
his wife are necessarily dull, being
made up of the same small and init
mate circle, meeting on that occasion
in the most ceremonlous manner.
Mrs. Roosevelt is prohibited by Gus
tom, as the President is, from enter
ing the house Of any ambassador or
envoy whatever such premises being,
technically, foreign ground. If she
goes to the theatre, she must sit in
lower box. She may go to one ball
in the year-the annual charity ball
when, If disposed, she may walk
through two or three quadrilles. But
if she should venture to dance a
round dance, it would mean a cata-
clysm. So would it be if she were to
appear in a carriage sitting anywhere
else than in the left-hand corner Of
the back seat if the President is with
her, or the right-hand corner il he is
not with her.-Collier's Weekly.
