BEGINNING TO MOVE.
Call Issued For Meeting of the State
Committee.

From April 8, on through September,
there will be much politics In South
Carolina. State and county officers, a
United States senator and a full set
Of congressman are to be chosen by the
people. Thus far this campaign year
has been a very quiet one though many
have been informally announcing their
candidacy for different offices.
1t was not until yesterday, however,
that the first official move was made
on the political checkerboard looking
to the campaign Of 1902. It came In
the shape Of call issued by Chairman
Willie Jones Of the state Democratic
executive committee for meeting to
be held here in the office Of the secre-
tary of state on the evening Of April 3.
This meeting Is simply for the purpose
Of issuing the formal call for the state
convention to be held on May 21 and
the call for the verious precinct meet
ings and county conventions to be held
earlier. The committee will have moth
ing else to do so far as known. It will
have nothing whatever to do with the
matter of arranging the state cam
paign this year, that duty falling upon
the new committee to be elected by the
state convention.
It Is not unlikely, however, that the
precinct clubs and the county conven-
tions will express themselves on the
matter Of reducing the number Of cam
paign gatherings so that the state con-
vention can consider the matter in the
light of what the people wish. In sew
eral counties articles have been pub
lished advocating the reduction Of the
number Of meetings.
Secretary Gunter, Of the state COM
mittee, expects to get up a circular let
ter to be sent to the county chairmen
shortly giving the dates Of the differ
ent meetings preliminary to the state
convention and full information as to
the number Of delegates allowed, etc.
But the call yesterday is the first Of
fetal political move Of the campaign
year and now that the ball has been
opened the formal announcement OF
many candidates for various positions
may be expected. Already in all parts
of the state a great deal Of political
talk is being indulged in.-Columbia
State, Saturday.

THE STATE CONVENTION.
Why Some Look on 1t rs Most
Important One.

| why some LOOK Oh IL u u HAoss
Important One.
Every one seems to be waiting and
watching for something to turn up that
will indicate in which way the political
wind will blow, and, like all cautious
people, we are keeping our mouths
shut. Tillman has not the political
power he once had. Many have drop
ped him as a leader. Many have Joined
the McLaurin ranks and still more are
willing to do so should they see few
more straws blowing in his direction
All are disgusted with Bryan and his
everlasting voice.
| Under the uncertain situation, most
men are awaiting the action Of the
state democratic convention that
meets in Columbia in May before say
il ing anything. A great number of peo-
pie, knowing the differences In the
Democratic ranks, consider that con-
vention one of the most important po-
litical conventions that ever met III
South Carolina. The action then taken
and the platform then adopted will de-
eide the political situation in the state.
I'VE need wise and conservative men
in that convention in order that plat
form may be adopted that will not cut
any faction but suit all.
IF measures condemning the Nc
Laurin element are adopted and an at
tempt made to rule them out, there will
be a split in the party that will not
soon be healed, and men will begin to
align themselves with one faction or
the other.
"Tillman WILL no doubt, WELD much
power in the convention and it may be
said that a great responsibility rests
on his shoulders in uniting or disrupt
ing the party. No one can tell whether
he will be statesman enough to rise
above self and his personal feelings to-
ward McLaurin to really try to save
the party or adopt course of rule or
ruin. By his conduct in person, or by
| his lieutenants, in that convention, he
will be judged. He will make or ruin
himself. If he shows a small spirit OF
personal revenge he Is gone. If he rises
to the position of a statesman and pa
triot he will be saved.
The politicians are worried, and as
stated, waiting and watching. Very
few are outspoken, with the exception
of avowed partisans.
There is no doubt that South Caro-
lima is in the midst Of a big political
revolution. The industrial situation
has vastly changed in the past ten
years. The manufacturing interests
have grown wonderfully and their in
nuence is fast becoming power in pol
itics. These thousands are tired Of the
old worn-out issues in national politics
and desire new issues upon which there
would be some hope Of electing pres
ident. They desire national platform
that will suit the Democrats of the
south as we'll as those Of the north-a
platform without 16 to 1 and like fol-
lies in it, including Bryan as the big
gest folly Of all, upon which all can
stand. The times have changed and 1t
| is claimed that we must change with
them. The campaign Of this year in
South Carolina will be hot one as

CONQUEST OF DEATH.
Remarkable Achievements of the
American Army In Cuba.

Remarkable Achievements of the
American Army In Cuba.
An interesting statement concerning
the improvement Of health conditions
| in Habana since the American occu-
patton Of Cuba, with special reference
to the vital statistics for the calendar
year 1901, has been made public by
the insular division Of the war de-
partment at Washington. Particular
attention Is paid to the purging
Of the city from yellow fever dur
ing the past year by the destruc-
tion Of infected mosquitoes. The num-
ber Of other infectious and contagious
diseases has been small during the cal
endar year 1901.
A marked decrease in malaria has oc-
Cured since the mosquito work be-
gan. The statement concludes as fol-
lows:
1.-THE army took charge Of the health
department Of Habana when deaths
were occurring at the rate Of 21,252 per
year. 1t gives it up with deaths occur
ring at the rate Of 5,720 per year. It
took charge with smallpox epidemic for
years. It gives it up with not a single
case having occurred in the city for
over IS months. It took charge with
yellow fever epidemic for two centu-
ries. It found Habana feared as
thing unclean by all her neighbors of
the United States and quarantined
against as a thing too dangerous to
touch, or even to come near anything
that she had touched, to the untold A.
nancial loss Of both Habana and the
United States. It has established the
fact that yellow fever Is only transmit
ted by certain species Of mosquito,
discovery that in its power for saving
human life is only excelled by Jenner's
great discovery, and as time goes on 1t
will stand in the same class as that
great boon to mankind.
1.-THE army has stamped out this dis
ease in its greatest stronghold, there
having been only five deaths in the
last nine months Of the past year and
no deaths and no cases during the last
three months Of the same year, and 1t
has demonstrated system by which
yellow fever can be certainly controll-
ed without interference to commerce"

PRACHER TURNS AUTHOR.
Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., Enters the
Literary Field.

Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., Enters the
Literary Field.
Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., who has just
entered the field of literature by the
publication Of book, 1.-THE Leopard g
Spots," was for years prominent pull
pit orator in New York. His style was
considered by some to border on the
sensational, but his popularity was un-
questioned.
Mr.. Dixon was born in North Carroll
ma 3S years ago. His father was Bap-
tist preacher After graduating from
a theological seminary he took a post
graduate course at Johns Hopkins uni
versity and then spent a year studying
dramatic art and oratory in New York.
At the age Of 20 he was elected MEM
ber Of the North Carolina legislature.
This induced him to take up the study
of law, and he was admitted to the
bar.
Later, however, Mr.. Dixon became
persuaded that it was his duty to
preach the gospel, and after filling pas
torates in Raleigh, N. c., and Boston,
he received a call from New York. His
church, the Twenty-third Street Bap-
tist, at once began to feel the influence
Of his preaching. The congregation
doubled and finally outgrew the capaci-
ty Of the church. The hall Of the Y.
M. c. A. was engaged, and for four
years it was taxed to its full capacity.
Later he Withdrew from the Twen-
ty-third Street church and founded the
Peoples church. Services were held
in the Academy of Music, one Of the
largest auditoriums in New York.
Rev. Mr.. Dixon's efforts in his new
church did not meet with the success
he hoped for, and he finally abandoned
the pulpit. He went to Capes Charles,
Va, where he now resides with his
wife and children.

TOLD OF EDWIN FoRREsT.-In the
last years Of his life Edwin Forrest the
tragedian, occasionally strayed from
the path Of rectitude and imbibed too
freely.
A policeman, now on the pension list,
but then connected with the Tenth and
Thompson street station, one night
found the actor wandering about
Spring Garden street.
The officer knew better than to arrest
Forrest. Instead he started him in the
direction of his home at Broad and
Master streets. The way was slow and
irksome. Forrest was no lightweight,
and had to be handled with the great
est consideration. After an hours hard
work the policeman had the satisfat-
cion of plotting his charge up the steps
of his mansion. Then, since Forrest
was in no condition to act for himself
the officer borrowed his key and unlock
ed the door.
1t was at this fatal moment that the
actor aroused from his stuper. Seeing
the stranger entering his house he rea-
soned that he was being robbed.
With that tremendous strength for
which he was noted, he sprang at the
unsuspecting officer, whirled him
around and with one mighty shove
sent him spinning to the bottom Of the
steps, where he fell in heap.
What, knave," thundered Forrest,
"seekest to rob me? Begone, dog, ere
I make worms meat Of thee!"
And this was all the reward the Of
ficer ever got. 1t happened, however,
in falling that he had held on to the
key, and he has it to this day, a treas
ured souvenir of the great actor.-Phil-
adelphia Times.

Significant Circumstance In Which

Significant Circumstance In Which
There Is n Lesson.
What class of men know more thar
any other class about gambling?
You will answer, of course: "Profes-
sional gamblers, Of all men, know most
about gambling"
That is the right answer and here Is
short lesson for young men who gam
BILE, or want to gamble.
The bookmakers, the professional
race. track gamblers Of New York city
have established club rooms Of theil
own at % West Twenty-sixth street.
1t is a club house like every other
with billiard rooms drinking rooms and
so on. But it is different from other
club houses in this one respect:
Gambling Of all kinds is absolutely
forbidden in the gamblers club house
You will notice, young men, that these
professional gamblers don't take your
light and easy view of gambling. They
gamble for a living, or rather, they
take advantage Of your gambling
With a sure thing behind them they
take your money from you.
But they don't delude themselves as
to the real nature and the real effects
of gambling. They don't say to eacf
other that an occasional game Of cards
for small stakes can do no harm. They
know that gambling begun in small
way ends in big way. They know
that it spoils social life. They know
especially, that it breaks up friend
ships.
Therefore, in their own club house
where they want to be comfortable and
enjoy themselves and avoid life's trou-
bles, they make positive rule that no.
body can gamble. even for ten cents.
Since the experienced, wise profess
sional gamblers decide that gambling Is
bad thing for them in their own mo-
ments of leisure, doesn't it seem to you
young men, that it must be a pretty
bad thing for you?-Chicago American

the McLaurin Democrats are growing
stronger and can now poll 10000 votes
out Of a possible $4,000 in the state.
1T would require a very wise man to
size up what the situation will be in
the summer, except to say that 1t will
be lively and interesting. "-Greenville
