Congressman Ta!bert is making
an appeal for votes on the ground
that he favors giving the taxes
paid by white people to the white
schools and letting the negroes
have only the amount paid by
them into the school fund. Every
sensible man who stops u moment
to think will readily see that this
is simply Il bid, or rather scheme
to get votes. For in the Office of
governor Col. Talbert cannot con
troll the distribution Of the school
fund, nor will he have vote:
and no one believes that he would
prostitute the dignity and honor
of that office, in case he should be
elected, in trying to influence
votes in the Legislature IN favor
of any such measure. If he reals
u wants to engage in such work
as that he ought to run for legis.a
ture or Senate where he co,ld
work and vote for his measure.
Col. Taloert was a member Of the
Constitutional Convention which
fixed three mill school tax IN the
Constitution and we do not re
member ut this time, thst he there
advocated any such measure rs he
now processes to be in favor of. -

Killed BY Parlor Rifle.
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Williston, July 7.--One of the
saddest accidents ever known in
this community occurred yester-
day morning resultingin in the death
of Earnest, the 9-year- old son of
Mr.. w. f. Prothro, intendant of
this place. The little fellow was
supposed to have been cleaning a
parlor rifle about noon Saturday.
He had detached the barrel from
the stock, and not noticing that it
was loaded or that the firing bolt
was in firing position touched the
trigger. The bullet, % calibre,
passed into the groin and ranging
downward made an exit on the
rear of the thigh, almost severInq
the femeral artery IN its course.

The Amenities of the Campaign.

Whatever may be thought of
ex. Governor John Gary Evans
use of the Stokes correspondence
to help him in his race: ard Whit
ever truth there may be in MIR.
Latimer's contention that DR..
Stokes was not the father of the
Free Rural Mail Delivery; there
can be, we take it, no two opinions
among the Doctors friends that
his reference to him as "Billy
Stokes" was neither polite nor
kind. The fact is, and Mir. Lati-
mer should certainly know it that
belittling nickname was never
heard of until it was attempted to
be fastened on the dignifed Doc
tor by the State newspaper of
Columbia. Even this extreme end
unrelenting journal saw at last its
improperly.
DR.. Stokes was never "Bill',
or "Billy' to any of his family
or friends. 1t does not recall the
old boyhood days, when we went
a-fshin', to his friends; but on
ly the names of those who sought
to catalogue him among the no
bodies.
Mr.. Latimer will serve his
candidacy better by more cour-
teous mention of one whose gen
tie dignity is part of the legacy he
has left sorrowing friends. -

The first session of the 57th
Congress adjourned last week.
Some of it's most important work
is thus summarized by the Obser-
YER.
1. The passing of an isthmian
canal bill, and that providing, af-
ter q strictly business fashion, for
the best and cheapest waterway
possible, thePanama route first,
and if this is impossible, the Mica
ragua. This is au item of legisla-
ton that will, when carried out,
affect the trade of the world as di-
rectly as the building of the Suez
Canal.
2. Perhaps next in Importance
to tho people of the United States
is the repeal of the war taxes
amounting to $40, 900, 900, voted
in 1898 to prosecute the war with
Spain. This was not a party meas
ure and these burdens were voted
off with the same unanl mity by
the members of all parties that
they were voted on.
2. The scheme of civil govern-
mons for the Philippine Islands,
by which the United States launch
es out into the business of govern
ing Il great island colony, albeit
the islanders are given to being
with large measure of self gov
ernment.
4. The oleomargarine act.
which particularly affects the
South, is one in which the taxing
power of the government is un-
doubtedly used to crush one IN
dustry in the interest of another.
5. The Chinese exclusion act,
which affects the West principal
ly, keeps the bsrs up high where
the Celestial would be apt to seek
en- tronce.
6. A vast scheme Of irrigation
for certain States and Territories
has been inaugurated at Federal
expense, although the money is to-,
come out of the sale of public
lands and not from taxes. 1t sets
precedent in tee matte of ex-
pendltures that is dangerous.
Z. The'river and harbor bill car
ried $65, 100000 appropriations,
and recklessness in spending mon
ey for public buildings was exhib-
tied by this Congress.
