public affairs, especially in the de-
bates upon suffrage and ef lcatton;
The convention was composed OF
the representative public men OF
South Carolina The senator from
Aiken county was easily one OF the
reaaipst and mGst logical debaters
in the whole assembly.
AS STATE SENATOR IN RECENT
YEARS.
In 1896 aud again in 1900 Hender-
son was returned to the State Sem
ate with. overwhelming maJorltles.
During these sessions he has serv-
ed with distinction in the upper
branch of the Legislature. lie has
been instrumental in securing the
enactment of legislation of lasting
importance. The reformation OF the
County Government Law; the
equalization of the taxes Of the
cotton mills and fertilizer factories;
ali this has been largely the result
of the untiring diligence and pub
! lie works of the senator from Al
ken. The latter act alone-relating
to the cotton mills and fertilizer
plants, of which act he was the au.
thor, has put upon the tax boaks OF
the State fully $2,OOO,OOO of taxable
property. He was strong advo'
cate of the Separate Coach Bill.
At the latest session of the Gener.
al Assembly Senator Henderson
vigorously supported the passage
of the Antitrust Law, one OF the
most important enactmentS at this
session. In his entire public career
he has been the champion of popu'
lar education, realizing in what
large degree the future welfart OF
the State is dependant upon the
proper maintenance of our col.
ieges and public schools. His lead
ership in this cause is attested by
his position as Chairman Of the
Committee nn Education in the
State Senate, and as q trustee OF
Winthrop and the South Carolina
Colleges.
At the recent county convention
held in Aiken Mr.. Henderson III
nounced his intention to resign a.
state senator, in order TO T.. Ger free
handed the contest for the United
States Senate ir the coming prlma
ry.
Dan Henderson is one of the mosl
pIactical of thinker>-the most kinC
heart, d of men-.lhe shrewdest U
po!iticians-and, in our opinion, the
best trial lawyer in South Carolina
The systematic business methods
of hislaw office are the envy OF nj:
fellow members of the bar. From
the humblest beginning ne ha:
arisen to position Of distinction
Success has not elated, and defeat
reare in his carepr-has net cas-
him down. He is rre-eminently
self-made man. The cleanness OF
his public and private life stamps
him as man of undnubted int 6
rity and lofty purpose. lie has
about him the elments Of success.
The times are tired Of corruption
, of fawning, of political pot.hunterS
of breach of faith and base desertiol
of principle.
South Carolina needs as her rep
, resentative in the highest counc'
hall o. the Nation, a statesman o
, integrity, of character, of high pur
pose, of honor, of public usefulness
, Such g man is "Dan" Henderson,
! known and proved of his friends.

A Very Candid and Manly Card
from the Honorable w. K.
Parks.
PARKsvILLE, S. c., July 20, 1902.

PARKsvILLE, S. c., July 20, 1907
TO My Friends and the Public:
Itake this method through the
public prints of answering letters
and inquiries which i havn't time
10 answer Rsgysenasly. iadga: ssas from, 9n'
Ebut on the other hand of lifting q
burden by making better roads. Of
course I favor good roads, and I
think it economy tG make them,
yet I am not in favor of burdening
the people without an expression
from them as to their desires or pre-.
ferenc 's. We cannot hope for any
great improvements in the matter
of roads without more money and
and change in our present sys.
tenn. However, if elected, I would
thrive to carry out the will of my
constituency.
I favor an increase in the commu-
tation tax not exceeding two aol-
lars, or reduction Of time required
oS hands. who do not pay, to make
The law more just and equitable.
AS to new county, [ want tO
say that, from aselfish standpoint,
favor it. l regret as m .h az any
one to be cut off from ole. and hon
ored Edgefeld, yet, 5, is we'll
known, we are at a great disadvan-
tage in many respects, owing to dis
tance, creeks, etc., which can only
be overcome by establishing a new
county. I don't know thatit is pos
sible to secure a new county, but
am frank to state thatI am in fa-
vor of it. Should my position cause
my friends to vote for others, shall
not complain. 1t was with reluc.
tance that allowed my friends to
present my name to the voters of
for legislative honors.
However, as l have done so, I can
only promise if elected to do my
duty to my friends, old Edgefeld,
and South Carolina.
If I could accomplish the good
that would balance up with the
harm that those who oppose me
would make believe, my election
would bring about, be. increasing
taxation and otherwise, I could re
turn with the satisfaction of hav-
ing done more than any one repre-
sentative has ever done. 1 have
agreed to make the sacIifce of at
as many meetings as posi-
Die, and should be honored by a
sufficient number of votes to be
elected, 1 promise to do my duty as
see it. I will be glad to give my
views on any subject that may be
If interest to the public either pub.
icly or privately.
Respectfully,
w. r. PARKS.

Decision in School Board Case.

In the case of S. o. Andrus ct
ais. VS.. the Board of School
Directors, the Supreme Court last
Monday handed down an opinion
favorable to the Board on the
most vital point at Issue, viz: the
right to provide, out of the gen.
eral fund, for the maintenance of
high schools. The Court decided
that the Board had such right.
The syllabus reads as follows:
syliabus-1. The law, us contained in sections
and 10 of act 81 OF 1883. is TO he construed as
meaning that the parish boards of school di-
reet0rs shall distribute the school funds to the
several districts In their respective parishes
rAtably In proportion to the number of persons
in such districts between the ages OF six and
eighteen years; provided such boards. with the
sanction OF the State Board OF Education, and
when suitable sites and buildings have been
otnerW!se supplied, may establish such central,
or nigh, schools as may be necessary, and, for
6helr maintenance, may draw upon the general
school funds before app0rtioning the same to
the several districts.
2. Where particular school district has been
apportioned less than its share of the fund IL ia
entitled to be made good BY reduction, in the
nextapportiOnment, of the amount of the de-
ficit from the amounts which would otherwise
be apportioned to those districts which re-
eeived the excess
3. It is the duty of the parish board to limit
itself, in the ma ter of incurrng debt, to tile
revenue OF the calendar year in which the debt
Is contracted, and to SO keep its accounts that
the revenues of different years may be distin-
guished as separate funds.
4. Disbursements by the IL leasurer of the
school fund OF parish otherwise than on war
rants drawn by the president and counter
signed by the secretary OF the parish board of
school directors are positively prohibited by
law. Judgment reversed.

about $280,OO0. We understand
that trains will soon run over this

ing us greatly enlarged facilities
of communication.
At the request of Mayor Littell
an invitation was extended to the
Press Association to hold its next
session in Opelousas, and Judge
Perrault was prevailed upon to
supplement the invitation with a
few remarks. He did so in a very
happy manner, and had not the
invitation come too late - the
"Delightful City, which ksW as
pires to the title of "ConveEtion
City," being already in the field
his cordial and eloquent words
and his coulev de rose description
of the beauties and attractions Of
Opelousas and of the warm well
come that we would give to the
knights of the quill, would surely
have turned the scales in our favor
New Orleans was finally selected
by a unanimous vote, and the fol-
lowing officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, T.
Sambola Jones, of Baton Rouge;
first vice-president, j. w. Smith,
of Homer; second vice-president,
Miss Lavinia II. Egan, of Shreve-
port; secretary, L. E. Bentley, of
Donaldsonville; treasurer, J. G..
Trimble, of Farmeryille.
We, in common with the other
visitors, were the recipients of
many marks Of attention from the
whole-souled citizens of Alexan-
dria; but we desire to make spe-
cial acknowledgment to Editor
Mccormick, Col. Polk, City Engi-
neer Sylvester, and Mr.. and Mrs.
A. McGinnis for highly appre-
ciated courtesies.

We had the pleasure Of visit
last Thursday evening from a for
mer Opelousas boy, Mr.. Clermont
Voorhies, who has experienced
more than an average share Of the
ups and aud downs Of { / this world since
his departure from here several
years ago. Mr.. VOORHEES, was on
the famous battleship Oregon at
the battle of Santiago, and was in
the hottest part of that memoir
able engagement, but came out
without a scratch. Later during
his service in the y. S. Navy he
met with terrible accident which
came near proving fatal-he fell
from the upper deck of the vessel
distance of twenty feet, break
ing both legs, one ankle, an arm,
and sustaining injuries near the
spine and on the side which laid
him up in the hospital for several
months, and from which he may
not entirely recover for many
years. He is now able to get
around on crutches. His many
friends and large family connee-
ton in st. Landry are glad to see
him and are giving him hearty
welcome to the scenes of his child
hood.

Washington, ID. c., News.
From our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, April 26, 1902.
The past week in the Senate has
been characterized by IL scathing
arraignment of the republican pol
icy in the Philippine Island. Dur
ing the major protion of three
sessions Senator Rawlins of Utah
delivered a speech which set forth
the aims and intentions of the ad-
-ministration and pointed out how
the franchises and special conces-
sions of the islands were to be
farmed out to administration fay-
orites at the expense of the Fill
pino people. On Friday and
Saturday Senator Carmack deliv-
cred brilliant address especially
noteworthy for it's demonstration
Of the inconsistency of the Presi-
dent in condemning those who
have defended the rights of the
Fllipinos and its denunciation of
Brig-Gen. Funston, whom he de-
scribed as the "most valiant cap
tain that ever marshalled a die
tionary to battle array, the might
lest Samson that ever welded the
jaWbone of an ass as a weapon of
war; The unqualified condem-
nation and the accompanying Bit
ter sarcasm of the Tennessee
Senator produced their effect on
his opponents and there are pros
spect that Senator Lodges S edlct,
"Let the democrats do all the
talking, will be defied and that
those senators who will soon be
compelled to go before their con-
stituents for reelection will insist
on making some reply to the
charges which have been made
against their spirit of justice and
Americanism.
In almost entire support of the
democratic position, has been the
testimony recently taken before
the Philippines committee, and
finally the news has come from
Manila that General Jacob FL.
Smith has admitted to the court
martial, before which he is being
tried, that he gave orders to Maj.
Waller to kill and burn and make
Samar Il. bowling wilderness and
that he especially ordered the
killing of all Filipinos over ten
years of age. As if to substan-
tiate democratic claims that the
islands have been the scene of un-
told outrages, and that the policy
of the administration has been to
suppress the facts, continually y
augmented evidence has been pre-
lsented of the use of the "water
cure" and other forms of torture
and oppression, in absolute viola
ton Of all the tenets of a civilized
and enlightened nation.
ssTariff reform will be one of
the leading issues of the next and
especially of the next presidential
compaign," said Senator Money
Of Mississippi, yesterday, when ]
asked him of the prospects OF
Cuban reciprocity in the Senate.
"The republican party" " contin-
ued the Senator, "dare not reduce
1.-THE tariff which it has built up.
Great moneyed interests protest
at any reduction because such re.
duction curtails their profits and
these interests are stronger thar
1.-THE party. The removal of tht
differential on refined sugar was
a step in the right direction. The
1 profits Of the Sugar Trust Would

benefit of the people but the bill
was not amended in the Hous,
with the expectation that it woul.
