Columbia Evening Record.

Columbia Evening Record.
The Columbia Evening Record, in
it's issue of the 18th instsnt has the
following to say on question that
has been settled adversely to the con-
tention of our esteemed contempo-
rary across the muddy Conearee by
the voters of Brookland. The Rec
ord says: "The Record today con-
tains card from a citizen of Brook.
land urging the people of that town
to vote tomorrow for extension of it's
limits. The Record has frequently
called the attention Of Columbias
council to the necessity of extending
the limits of this city. There could
be no better way of extension than
an union with Brookland, Columbia's
thriving suburb across the Congaree.
Such an union would have much to
recommend it. Brookland already
has about 1000 Inhabitants and is
steadily growing. Joined to Coluno-
bia it would make a respectable
growth in the number of inhabitants
of this city and help make the city
show up better in the next census.
If Columbia is to be the census me-
tropolis of South Carolina, there
must be expansion of her limits, and
the city council will not do its duty
if it does not work for expansion.
With right expansion, coupled with
the growth of the present city's pop
ulation, the next census would show
up Columbia with at least $4,000 peo-
pie, which would be marvellous
growth and attract both capital and
settlers. Brookland should be ward
six of Columbia, with a free bridge
across the Congaree, The advantage
of union would by no means be all
in favor of Columbia. Union would
give Brookland free bridge very
shortly and Immediately bestow upon
that town the improved police and
fire protection it needs. It would
not be long after union before Colum-
bias system of water works and
street lightning would be extended
to Brookland. In this case procasti-
nation is the thief of opportunity.
Action is needed now. Brookland is
growing and if not added to Colum-
bia while young and week may pre-
fer hereafter to work out her OWL SAL
vation and develop as rival city to
instead of part of Columbia. The
capital city needs all her suburbs,
not as suburbs, but as parts of her.

Pawtucket, R. I June IS 3-Near-
ly two thousand soldiers, each armed
with fifteen rounds of ball cartridges,
hold this city today. Street car
traffic has entirely stopped, and at
the first renewal of riotine which
has already resulted in one ..-rious
shooting, the troops have orders to
shoot to kill The streets are crowd
ed with angry, muttering people,
despite the arti-riot proclamation of
Governor Kimball, who issued a
proclamation ordering them to dis
perse. Many men are armed and it
needs but spark to precipitate the
fercest sort Of battle.

Settled for the Present

As result of the meeting of the
Board of Trustees of Clemson Col
lege recently, President Hartzog has
been induced to reconsider his resig-
nation and remain at the head of the
College. For the present this ends
the trouble at the College, but the
consequences of this action Of the
trustees will not be known until the
institution opens again next fall. 1t
is said that large majority of the
students are not pleased, and many
friends of the College fear that the
attendance at the next session will
be greatly decreased.

often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver. bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t corects inability

wine or beer, and overccres that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of SwaE1p-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won

WASHINGTON W LETTER.
F'om our Regular Correspondent

There are stih u good ma
ny people in Washington Who
.ln.l;pye that Congress will
take mp the Schlpy matter in
the form of an inquiry into
the affairs of the Navy d..
pnrtm+nt and it IN said that
the only reason that Srcr4ta
ry Long remains in TIE Cabi-
net in t,pcause the President
believes it only fair to permit
him to stay where, in h e
: vent OF surh an inquiry hp
will hp in u position to de-
fend himself and his off,
cial acts. The temper of the
people in Washington was
shown Friday evening wher
Admiral Schley attended a
performance at one Of t he
Washington theaters. H q
was cheerei to the echo, the
large ana fashionable audi
ence rising to their feet and
remaining standing until the
Admiral had come to h e
front of the box and bowed
his acknowledgements. Gen-
ernl miles haH resumed h ia
resumed hiSduties in the War
Department and has conclu-
ded to ignore the reprimand
he received. He well knows
that he has no friends in the
administration and t. h a t
both Corbin and Root will
rpiore in his humiliation. His
statement in support Of Ad-
mlrnl Dewey. however, has re-
ceived the approval Of the
people and of the press all o.
ver the country.
There is now little doubt
but thar the Senate will be
compelled TO materially re-.
wise the Philippine tariff till
wkirh was passed by t h z
House. The measure, IN it
stands, is received the con-
de'nnation of ii large nnmber
of republicans some of whom
characterize it as protection
run Wild The most ardent
expansionists are not in ia.
vor of Cover ming colonies a.
long Spanish lines and a pol
icy of oppression will not be
tolerated even iflt ia dictat-
ed by the protected interests.
1t is believed that Judge TAFT
will make representations at
the White House IA soon as
he arrives in Washington
which will insure the Presi-
dents support of tariff con.
to the Philippines
and which will offer an tx.
cuse for the Senate to reverse
tue WORK o' 'he 10 W !
House.
The President is known to
be in a quandary az TO where
to place Judge Taft. Person
ally he favors sending h n
back to the philippines but
the Secretary of War. who il
a close friend of Mr.. RoOse-
welt, is strongly opposed to
the continuance of the TAFT
regime. He considers that the
Taft Commission has serious
~ failed in the deiprence it
owes to General Chaffee and
the military branch of the ser
vice. Taft is too big a man
