Maryland Day at Charleston.

Tuesday was Maryland Day at the Charles
ton Exposition, and Gov Smith and military
staff, Comptroller Herring, Ex-Mayor Lairobe,
Of Baltimore, and large number of Mary
landers were present and the event was no.
table one at the Exposition. The Maryland
ers were royalty entertained, and Gov. Smith
made an extended speech, dwelling upon
the ties between the two States and reciting
the conflicts at Camden, Cowpens and Eutaw
SPRINGS. on South Carolina soil during the
Revolutionary War, where the Maryland Line
did such gallant service, and where Small
wood, Howard and Williams distinguished
themselves. The business interests OF the two
States, said the Governor, are close and in
creasing, and he closed with high compli-
ments to the energy, enterprise and foresight
of the people Of Charleston in projecting and
successfully holding such q vast exposition.
At luncheon later in the day Comptrol-
Ter Herring was one Of the speakers. OF his
speech the Baltimore Sun correspondent says:
wComptroller Joshua w. Herring, of the
Treasury of Maryland, was called upon by
Director General Kemp and he responded IN
a way to delight his auditors, male and fe-
male. DR.. Herring is veteran campaigner.
He is never at fault for the right word in the
right place. He is banker and member
Of the Bankers Association of Maryland. He
told the ladies that there was no section OF the
United States in which Maryland felt deeper
interest than in South Carolina; that number
of substantial banking institutions wished the
best for South Carolina, and that I'VE belong
to the South

In Mudd's District.

Sidney Mudd seems to be the only Congress
sional timber in the Republican party in the
fifth district. No other name is considered
when Representative is to be chosen, and Be
publicans vie with each other for the privilege
Of voting for him in convention. In Laurel and
Upper Marlboro last Saturday the Republican
primaries were hot. At the latter place there
was free fight and much acrimony prevailed
at the former. At Laurel, too, both sides
played heavily for the Negro vote. One
ticket had two Negroes on it for delegates,
and the other four.
-Four fifths of the Republican party in the
district are Negroes. Most of the white skins
in the party there are in it for Office. They
stand the odor and association for the sake of
Office For doing the voting Negroes are put
on delegate tickets and given places on ju-
ries, about court houses and road supervisor
ships. Offices with salaries or fees worth
having the white skins appropriate to their

ship-subsidy Bill Held Up.

The ship-subsidy bill, ii is thought, will not
be pressed at this session. 1t has passed the
Senate, bet it is not likely to be taken up in
the House. The Democrats are solid against
it. and many Western Republicans are OPP
posed to the bill also. After the split in the
House Republicans over the Cuban reeipro-
city bill, in which the Democrats and dissent
ing Republicans controlled the House, the
half dozen Republicans who had previously
ruled the House in all things, are afraid to
risk another test of strength. The breach is
too wide between Eastern and Western Re-
publicans for comfort, and the attempt to force
the ship subsidy bill through would likely place
the Democrats and Western Republicans in
complete and permanent control of the House.
