THE PURCELL APPOINTMENT.

The appointment of Charles J. Pur-
cell to the office of postmaster at New
| berry, S. c., seems TO support the
charge, often made since Senator Nc
Laurin of that state became a sup
porter of certain of the policies of the
Republican party, that there is a
clearly understood purpose on the part
of the administration to see what can
be done towards making South Caro-
! lima a Republican state by liberal
use of federal patronage. 1t will be
/ recalled that President Roosevelt said
that ne intended TO carry out the poll
cies of President Mckinley. The lat
! ter made several appointments in
South Carolina which attracted general
attention and were the cause OF great
deal of speculation. The appointees
! were in every instance Gold Democrats.
1t was said then that Democrats were
being appointed by Republican ad-
ministration with the view of bringing
into the Republican party in South
Carolina an entirely new element-an
element that would tend to give the
Republican party a standing with the
white people of the state. OF course
it was denied that there was any such
purpose, but the denial did not come
from Mr.. Mckinley.
And now President Roosevelt has ap-
pointed a Gold Democrat. Senator
McLaurin is credited with having used
his influence in behalf of the appointed
Does not this look as if there were a
settled policy on the part Of the ad-
ministration to see what can be done
towards Republicanizing South Caro-
lima? Does it not look as if that state
had been chosen as the field for an ex-
pertinent?
If the experiment should prove to be
successful III South Carolina il would
in all probability. be tried in other
Southern States. Thus far the admin
istration does not seem to have found
any difficulty in getting Democrats OF
high standing, or at least men who
have heretofore been classed as Demo-
Gratis, to accept federal offices in South
Carolina. There is no doubt of course
that they will have certain amount
of influence, especially as they are sup
ported by United States senator who
was elected as a Democrat and who
still claims to be a Democrat.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
Senator McLaurin has very consider
able following among the influential
people of his state. The mill men par
ucularly-at least very considerable
portion of them-are in sympathy with
him in the course he is pursuing The
result of this experiment will be
watched very closely by those who are
close observers of political events.
There are no reasons yet for thinking
that it will be successful-that Senator
McLaurin will be reelected, and that
he viii be able to commit his state TO
the Republican policies which he is
now advocating, and which ne has been
advocating ever since Philippine ques-
tons became party issues.

How He obeyed In.tructions.


NJ. E. Ingalls,, the railroad magnate
of the middle West, whose interests
are more or less allied with the Van
derbilt system, maintains an ante-room
where callers are required to state their
errands. says the New York Times.
Not long since, however. one individ-
ual swept the entire arrangement aside
by stalking past the outer secretaries
with an air of authority which dis
armed them. He boldly pushed open
the door to the sanctum and entered.
Taken by surprise. Mr.. ingalls, looked
up and beheld a tall. bronzed person
age. bearing every mark of rural cIti-
zenship. surveying the apartment with
an inquiring eye. The newcomer de-
manded sharply:
us ingalls, here?"
Il am ingalls,. g." returned the mag
nate, laconically.
The stranger strobe to the desk and
threw down an envelope.

Mr.. ingalls, read it and frowned.

ter" he demanded.
Yep. The station agent In my town

cant for employment at least to knock
at the door before entering and remove
YOUR hat while in the office? And.
further. would it not be more seemly
in YOU to inquire for Mister ingalls,
rather than for Ingalls?'
Beneath this merted rebuke the man
moved not muscle.
Give me the letter." said he soherly.
Mr.. Ingalls, promptly handed over
the letter. and his visitor went out,
closing the door behind him without
word. While the clerks were still
grinning over the incident there was
timid knock at the door. The door
was opened. There stood the same in
diVidual. He entered with an OBJ
sequious bow, carefully wiped his feet,
removed his hat and meekly asked:

The magnate beamed. "Ah, my
young friend" said he graciously, that
is better. What can I do for you?"
The countryman drew himself up
with a ferocious glare. do for me ?'
he yelled. DO for me? You can go
to thunder, you little bald headed duff
fer; that's what you kin do for mel"
And he withdrew. slamming the door
behind him.

senator Dolliver says that Gov. and
soon-to-be Secretary Shaw has a great
penchant for telling stories, says the
Washington Post.
One of Shaw's stories was related m
der interesting circumstances. II was
arter the newspapers had announced
that ne had been offered a place in
the cabinet. and there was consider
able curiosity to know whether he
would accept. He was at dinner with
some friends, and they piled him with
questions, couched in language as near
direct examination as they dared.
Gov. Shaw paid no attention to their
hints until the dinner was nearly
through.

OF the Treasury. / can only say that I
am reminded of the story of the two
little boys who were at dinner. They
were asked if they wanted some pie.
One of them helped himself to a large
slice. The other did not take any at
all. The first boy looked at the other

them. If there is one point more than
