THE JENKINS SWORD.

The Columbia State Of Monday, con-
tains the following about the. sword
that President Roosevelt is to present
to Major Micah Jenkins at Charleston
today:
The handsome sword Of honor that Is
to be presented by the president Of the
United States in Charleston on We'd
nesday next to the gallant South Caro-
,linian, Major Micah ]. Jenkins, Is now
in Columbia, and is on exhibition In one
Of the show windows of Sylvan Bros
jewellery store. The sword Is one that
will befit the occasion. The former col
onel of the famous Rough Riders will
present it on behalf Of the people OF
South Carolina, and thousands Will
witness the ceremony. %,
The subscriptions to the fund with
which the sword was bought came from
every quarter of South Carolina and
from South Carolinians living in other
states. The gift was recently ordered
from Black, Starr & Frost, Of Fifth
avenue, New York city, house almost
as prominent as Tiffany's and fully as
distinguished for workmanship, and
they worked night and day for a week
preparing it. 1t was sent here to the
editor of The State in order that IT
might be exhibited here in Columbia
before being forwarded to Charleston.
This afternoon or tonight 1t will be
sent to Editor Waring Of the Charles
ton Post, chairman Of the sword fund
committee, and will be exhibited In
Charleston on Tuesday. ..
The sword is insured for $500, though
its cost was in excess Of that figure,
and is the handsomest presentation
sword ever seen in this part Of the
world. 1t rests in a costly mahogany
box, lined with the softest' white silk.
On the cover is a gold plate upon which
Is beautifully engraved Major Micah
j. jenkins, Rough Riders" The blade
is an exquisite imported one, inlaid In
gold arabesque designs by a system
known only in France, and showing al
so the United States monogram and
coat Of arms and the American eagle.
The hilt is of exquisite design, and Is
surmounted by twenty diamonds. The
tassels attached are Of silver bullion,
heavily plated with gold. The scab-
bard is Of heavy nlckle steel with gold
trimmings and upon it on each side,
exquisitely engraved, are appropriate
inscriptions. On one side appears this:
"A gentle and courteous South Caro-
linian In action perfect game
cock'-Theodore Roosevelt, Colonel
Rough Riders" On the other side,
with artistic arrangement Of the letter.
ing is engraved: Major Micah J. Jenk-
ins, Rough Riders.-A testimonial OF
his efficiency and soldiership and Of his
gallantry in action while serving with
the army Of the United States In Cuba.
From friends and admirers in South
Carolina. Presented by President The
odore Roosevelt, April 9, 1902" Accom-
panying the splendid sword is.a rich
and heavy belt of silver bullion heavi-
ly plated with gold.
A handsomer outfit for presentation
to a gallant soldier could hardly have
been secured. 1t was viewed and ad-
mired all day yesterday and today
thousands Of Columbians will visit Syl-
vans to see 1t.

THE state department at Washing
ton has made public the correspondence
between that department and Governor
Heard, of Louisiana, with reference to
the shipping of mules from Louisiana
by the British government for use in
South Africa. Governor Heard points
out that while the shipments are not be-
ing conducted openly by the British gov
ernment as such, there is no doubt of
the fact that the British government is
directly responsible, and he is very
anxious to put q stop to the whole
thing. He is of the opinion that the
question is one that falls within the jul
risdiction of the federal government
rather than in his own jurisdiction; but
says that if the federal government
will indicate its willingness or desire to
have him act, he will lose no time in
doing so. From the correspondence, 1t
seems as If the Federal government
will eventually take action; but as to
whether this action will be delayed un-
til it can no longer be embarrassing to
Great Britain. remains for further de-
velopments.

the committee on rules was not pass
ed The opinion has gained ground
that some way will be found to avoid
the investigation, which would be pro-
life of no good, except as a campaign
document to exhort Negroes to vote the
Republican ticket solidly and enthusi-
astically next November, but which
would work a vast amount Of mischief.
There are certainly some Republicans
in the house who will not support the
resolutions If it is determined to press
them. It is somewhat doubtful If the
resolution could pass there at all. The
completion of the canvass will prob
ably determine whether the leaders
will have anything further to do with
the unpopular measure.

THERE is talk of amending the con-
stitution of the Democratic party OF
South Carolina so as to require voters,
as we'll as candidates, to declare their
allegiance to the platform of the ma
tional Democracy. So far as we are
able to see, there can be no objection
to this, provided it is the platform that
is to be adopted that will be re-
ferred to. To undertake to bind voters
to perpetual allegiance to old, smashed
and impracticable platforms, might
some day prove embarrassing.

SHREwD BRER RABBIT.

IT have more than once heard" said
DR.. Miles Walker the other day, that
rabbits have a way Of throwing dogs
off their scent by doubling on their
trails; but have never been sure just
how much fact there was in the story
until now. I have had the satisfaction
of seeing 1t for myself.
II chanced upon very pretty chase.
Three dogs were out for hunt on their
own account, and as passed along the
road, the rabbit crossed ahead, with
the dogs hundred yards or so behind.
stopped to watch the thing out. The
dogs pressed forward at top speed, and
after running several hundred yards
turned back. About the time I noticed
this I saw the rabbit again beating
back on his old track. The dogs fol-
lowed without difficulty. The rabbit
continued to point near the spot
where he had been jumped originally,
made circle of hundred yards, and
then again came back into the trail
over which he had passed twice, and
went off again in the direction he was
going when saw him first. The dogs
followed the first back track beautiful
ly on to the starting place and around
the loop; but when they struck the
point where the rabbit ran into Its
twice travelled track, they were at
loss which way to 60. They ranged
out for short distances, in different d.
rections; but invariably pulled up
again at the now thrice travelled track
and finally gave it up: In the meantime
the rabbit had gotten we'll out of dan

The Board Of Equalization. -
The board Of equalization finished
it's work last Saturday in. advance Of
expectations. Because of an advance
sheet Of the forthcoming volume Of the
statutes on the subject, it was thought
that the special appraisement boards
recently appointed by the governor In
towns of less than 5,0U0 were without
authority, and their work would have
to be gone over again. 1t developed
on Saturday, however, that the 5000
in the advance sheet received by the
auditor should have been $500 and
consequently the county board was re-
lieved of the extra work with which 1t
appeared to be threatened.
Next Term Of Court.
There Is no certainty yet whether the
approaching term Of court will last
four weeks or three weeks, but the
probability is that there will be only
three weeks Of it, Notwithstanding the
fact that there is enough business here
for four or five weeks. The business of
Spartanburg county has been growing
gradually to such an extent that 1t
now takes the circuit court about ten
months in the year to dispose Of it, and
Judge Watts, who presides here next
term, has been assigned to open a
special term in Spartanburg just four
weeks after the opening Of court here.
Under this arrangement he could give
Yorkville four weeks; but since he has
been kept continuously busy for seve-
raj months. it Is likely that he will de-
mand a weeks rest before going to
Spartanburg and that will leave only
three weeks for the York court.
Auction Sales.
Pursuant to duly advertised notice,
the clerk o. the court, on last Monday,
salesday for April, sold real estate at
public auction as follows: In the case
Of w. w. Lewis, executor, against Lo-
rena Lockhart, ct al, 107 acres, more or
less, on Buckhorn creek. Bought by
WV. Lewis, attorney for $500. In the
case Of w. w. Lewis Executor,
against P. R. Bratton, the u. c.
Brown-Latham" place, containing 1876
acres. Bought by w. w. Lewis, attor-
ney, for s363.00. The house and lot ad-
vertised in the case Of Sarah H. Kunz,
as Administrative, against H. w. Smith,
was withdrawn from SALE In the case
Of Elias Ramsay, plaintiff, against E.
F. Ratchford, ]. NJ. Sims and E. M.

If the political manipulators are to
be allowed to dictate to the people
through the state convention what they
shall think, it will be just as well to
let the convention name the men who
are to hold office and require the peo-
ple to vote for them. There Is no ma
terial difference in the two PROPOSE
tions. The true Democratic way is to
leave to the people the question OF
measures as we'll as men, as they did
in Arkansas recently. The voters do
not stand in need Of dictation from the
politicians.

THE London newspapers are compar-
ing the will of Cecil Rhodes with that
of julius Caesar, who left his wealth
to the Roman people. and the comparl-
son does not seem inappropriate. If
the ideas of Mr.. Rhodes are carried out
in accordance with instructions, their
influence in bringing Great Britain the
United States and Germany into much
closer relations will be very great. Mr..
Rhodes was always great believer
in the United States, which country he
considered much greater even than his
own, and it was for the benefit OF his
own country that he sought to promote
closer touch with the Americans.

NOTWITHSTANDING the recent action
of the party caucus on the subject, 1t
is beginning to look as If large num-
ber of house Republicans are going to
refuse to be led into the shambles that
the Crumpacker resolution is erecting
for them. The shrewdest Democratic
leaders are anxious for the Republicans
to take the resolution up and pass 1t;
but there seems to be very good reason
for believing that nothing Of the kind
will be done.

Presidents Day.

All trains toward Charleston during
the past few days have been crowded
with people going to the exposition, an
incident, if not the principal attraction,
being Presidents Day. The south
bound Carolina and Northwestern
train was crowded Monday with peo-
pile from up the road to the northern
terminus, and fifteen or twenty miles
beyond Lenoir. Quite a large crowd
went yesterday by way Of the south
bound South Carolina and Georgia
Extension, and reports from other parts
of the country indicate a similar situ-
alton, and it is probable that when the
story of Presidents Day comes in, the
leading feature Of it will be the descrip-
tion of the largest crowd that has yet
visited the exposition.

I PRESIDENTS have passed through
through South Carolina, and one has
been to this state duck hunting several
times; but Mr.. Roosevelt is the first one
since the war to come here on purely
social visit for the purpose Of helping

South Carolina is beginning to enter

- canvass OIL the fIepuUllCdu SioS VI
the house, says a Washington dispatch,
is being made to ascertain how many
members there will support the resolu-
ton for an investigation into suffrage
conditions. Those who are making the
canvass intimate that the speaker
probably has no intention Of having
the resolution brought up unless he is
assured Of good majority to carry It,.
1t was plainly the original intention of
the house leaders to shelve the resolu-
ton and not to heed the action and
recommendation of lean Republican
caucus of some weeks ago. The house
leaders had steadily opposed any action
of that character, but, when the Cuban
embroglio came up. the reporting fav-
orably of this resolution was used as
a part of the programme to convince
the opposition Republicans that they
ought to stand with the administration

those agitating for the investigation
announced his withdrawal from the op-

stated that he would vote for the Gu

of the proceedings some rather strenu-
Gus conferences were held, and it is re-
ported that two or more influential Re-
publican senators insisted to certain
members of the house that it would
never do to stir up such sectional agi-
tation. AS the result of these confer
ences, and also because of General
Grosvenor's journey west, the report of

Knew 1t an The Time.


\ gentleman from one of the nearby
states who was in Mempl IS las, week
told a good story which wa illustrate
the easy manner in which gossip may be
started. He said that several years ago
there was a minister of the gospel in his
neighbOrhOOd who was noted for his
piety About two years ago there came
change, and the minister. whom we
VIII call Rev. Mr.. Jones, was transferred
to a different part of the state. Only the
day before ne arrived in Memnhis there
had been another change. ard Mr.. Jones
was given the chaplaincy Of the state
Eenitentiary.
That day. the Memphis visitor relates.
he happened to run across one OF the
minister's old parishiOners. and. thinking
he would be interested in the latter S
good fortune said:
Say. Smith. did you hear that Rev
Mr.. Jones had been sent to the peni-
tentiary2'
Good for him responded Smith. la
conically; II always thought he would
get there some day He was always such
an ALTERED rascal when ne was around
here. ] knew he would wind up behind
the bars.
When his astonished informant re-
membered that Smith had been known as
one of DR.. Jones greatest henchmen he
could hardly get up the courage TO tell
him OF his error.
