POSSIBILITY OF A REGENCY.
Though Remote, Great Britain May
Be Without Hereditary Ruler.

regency for Great Britain would
only be possible in the event of the
death of King Edward and his eldest
son, the prince of Wales. duke of
Cornwall and York The latter is far
above his majority and would sue
coed Immediately But all things are
possible and even he may die before
he becomes king and before his cid
est son, Prince George. reaches his
majority. In that event it will be-
come the duty of parliament to deS-
lgnate the person upon whom the
mantle of authority shall fall and be
exercised during the heirs minority.
The British law of succession con-
templates a regency. but is not
plicit as to the person upon whom
its duties snail devOlve. The one Sc
lected is usually the next of kin to
the future ruler-the father moth

to the present princess of Wales, the
wife of the duke of Cornwall and
York, the royal place for time. In
case of her disability from any cause
Queen Alexandra might be desig
mated as the guardian OF her grand
son and the instrument of giving va
lidity to royal DEGREES. But the con-

remote and is perhaps scarcely worth

Prophecy Made That the King Would
Not Be Crowned
King Edward has long been haunt
ed with a superstitiOus fear, engen-
dered by several prophecies to the eff
feet that he would never be crowned.
Reports have been current in Lon

pressed over these prophecies, and at

Most sIeepwalkers Are Blonde.

Ten per cent. of the worlds popula-
tion is more or less somnambulistic, -
said local physician yesterday, ''and
every one, at one time or another,
has done a little sleep-walking. I,
myself, when a lad, got up, dressed,
took my books and went to school on
a summer night, my father following
close behind to see that should come
no harm.
blonde persons are more apt to be
somnambulis5s than dark folk, and in
cold climates there is more somnam-
buIism than in warm climates. In
certain Greenland villages, [ have been
told, the hut doors are locked from
without by watchman ir order that
those within may not come forth in
their sleep, and, may be, freeze tc
death. But in Egypt and such like hot
lands such precaution is unnecessary. .

Esfill Asks for a Recount.

Augusta. Ga, June 81. H.
EsSill, or the Savannah News, candi-
date for the nomination for governor
IN the recent Democratic primary, has
fled protest with Chairman Brown
of the State Democratic executive COM
.la.ttee against the claim of Hon.
Jo.leph Terrell, that Terrell received a
M iority of 196 votes in the recent pri-
mary and is the nominee, on the
ground that there were many irregu-
iarities in the count of votes in sever
al counties named by him which if
corrected would show Estill and Guer-
ry received a larger number Of votes
bv counties than Terrell Therefore
Estill requests recount and full in
Yestigation under the provisions of the
law
Chairman Bown has been in confer
ence with several members of the
Democratic executive committee today
regarding the protest, and the opinion
prevails that Brown has no authority
to order recount, nor has the COM
mittee, where actual fraud is not
proven.

COAST line OFFICIALS.
Who Will be President After the
Consolidation.

The matter Of the new officials of
the Atlantic Coast Line is exciting
much attention, not only among the
rallroda men, but by business people
generally. It is known that changes
will be made, but the character of these
changes is not known and will proba-
bly, not be positively announced for
some time. In the meanwhile the rail
road men and people generally are
speculating in their own way and try
ing to figure the changes that will be
made.
The Savannah Press printed the fol-
lowing the other day about the prob
able succession of r. G. Erwin, presi
dent of the Plant system, to the presi-
dency of the Atlanic Coast Line:
:" Among the best posted railroad
men In this section a strong convic-
tion, which seems to be grounded on
something stronger than hope or. the
desire to seeib brought about, is the
belief that Mr.. r. G. Erwin will be
president of the new Atlantic Coast
Line company. The position of presi-
dent is place we'll suited to Mr..
Ewrin, as he has so long filed that
position with the Plant system that
he, too, has been so accustomed to
doing the work that its duties are as
easily discharged by him as are the
other duties by Mr.. Walters.
1T is also believed that Horace
Emerson will be traffic manager,
Capt. W. B. Denham general superin-
tendent, Col. B. W. Wrenn general
superintendent, and Mr.. James
Menzies general freight agent. The
other places will be filed from the
Coast Lines present force of depart
mentt heads. The Coast Line will
name, in addition to those whose
names are given here, several vice
presidents and freight and traffic man
ayers.
It is not expected that any change
will be made in the Sumter Office,

The FIREMEKS TOURNAMENT.
EVERYBODY CAN COME.
Cheap Railroad Rates for the Firemen's
Tournament.

If the attendance of fremen and 9th
er visitors at the forthcoming fremen's s
tournament shall not prove to be the
largest that Sumter has experienced
on any public festal occasion, it Will
not be the fault of the railroad people,
for they have announced rate of
passage which is the lowest ever grant
ed for any similar event.
The rate for civilians from all points
in the Carolinas and Georgia has
been fixed at one fare for the round
trip. For fremen in uniform the fol-
lowing round trip rates have been an
nounced:
Abbeville, $3.50; Augusta, $3.50;
Cheraw, sl.5O; Columbia, 95 cents
Fayetteville, s.. TO; Greensboro, s6.30 !;
Orangeburg, s1.oo; Raleigh, 500;
Spartanburg, $500; Anderson, Sc. s;
Barnwell, s1.75; Camden, 65 cents
Charleston, s2.05; Chester, s2.2O;
Denmark, 81. 40; Greenville, s3. 40:
Laurens, $3.50; Newberry, s1.9O:

s5.95: Asheville, s455; Charlotte,
s3. 80: Goldsboro, 81 30; Greenwood,
50. 80; Wilmington, 500.
Such cheap rates are well calculated
to catch the crowd, and, with the lib
eral prizes which have been offered,
Sumter may look forward to the occa-
sion with every assurance Of having TO
entertain an anpecedentedly large
numer Of visitors.

Missing AbbeviIle Man Heard
From After Thirty Years.

Away back In 1859, when this State
was in disorganized condition, aud
after the negroes had taken possession
OF the government, Charles Dendy,
Joe Davis and other young men con-
cluded to seek their fortunes else
where.
Although Charles Dendy was the
legatee of a rich estate, from which
it is said he was entitled to $40, 600,
he received only $500. OF this sum
he paid the larger part for a. hand
some grey horse.
That horse was ridden away bv a
man who neglected the ordinary cour-
tresy of exchanging greenbacks to the
par value Of the same. But TO be just
and fair, and to show his appreciation
of the horse and to give its former
owner evidence that he had not for
gotten him, he sent Mr.. Dendy photo
graph of the horse as he sat upon him
far away on the soil of Kentucky.
That was all that he ever received for
the horse.
a short time afterward when he had
spent the remainder of his $500 he and
his. associates concluded to start on a
journey to no one here knew where.
Recently the Clerk Of the Court, Capt.
J.. IL Perrin, received a letter from
Charles Dendy, dated in the city of
New ORLEANS. In which be mentions

Balm for few days my wife said to me,
I feel as though born anew and before
using the entire contents of the bottle the

ROOSEVELT is SORE.
.Disgusted With His Experiments
in South Carolina.

President Roosevelt is very sore over
the failure Of his experiment. to build
I'D Republican party in South Caro-
lima by using Senator McLaurin, says
Washington special to The State, and
the indications are that in the distri-
button of Federal Offices in the Pal
metto State in the future there will be
new deal. The president, in talking
With Republican senators, has mani
tested irritation over the trouble he
has had in, filing the South Carolina
Offices and mas expressed in no uncer
tain terms his disappointment over
both Senator McLaurin and Mr. John
Capers, who has been acting as Repub-
ilcan referee for the State upon the
endorsement of McLaurin.
When the pominationvof Mr.. Harris
to be postmaster at Charleston was
withdrawn, one of the leading Repub-
licans Of the senate called upon the
president and asked why this step had
been taken. President Roosevelt ey-
planned the difficulties surrounding
the case of Mr.. Harris because lof the
disclosures of his non residence, and
then he went on to recite some of the
troubles which he had met in endeav-
oring to fill the South Carolina Offices,
and did not mince words in telling
why he vas disappointed in the situa-
tion in that State.
He recalled that the. most satisfac-
tory appointment he has made-that
of Mr.. Cunningham to be marshal
was made in the face of the strong
efforts of Senator McLaprin and Mr..
Capers, who were doing all they could
to secure the reappointment of Mar
shall Melton. He held these two gen
tlemen responsible also for the
troubles over the nomination of Mr..
Koester as collector of internal reve-
nue. and Mr.. Richardson as postmas-
ter at Greenville. In pretty plain
language he expressed his opinion that
the combination of McLaurin and
Capers is failure in political leader
ship and intimated his purpose of
looking elsewhere for endorsements to
South Carolina Offices in the future.

It appears that the Yaqui forces
that were operating in, that section
had moved further into the mountains,
leaving their women and children in
Santa Rosa Canon under guard OF
eighty men. The Mexican troops
came upon this camp and, without any
warning, opened terrible fire, spar
ing neither women nor children. After
the first volley, the troops charged
down upon the panic-stricken victims
and massacred all within their reach.
OF the guard of eighty Yaquis not a
