A WASTE OF LATHER.

The exceedingly small aot of Lieuten-
ant Governor James III. Tillman in re-
questing President Roosevelt to with
draw his acceptance of an invitation to
present the sword to Major Micah Jen-
kins, on the occasion of the Presidents
visit to Charleston, is eminently worthy
of it's author. Large or weighty missiles
are seldom fired from such miniature
guns as the present Lieutenant Governor
of South Carolina. The following from
the Washington Post is Enthusiastically
terse and to the point:
GAS to the Honorable Jim Tillman we
are reminded of that Spanish proverb
which declares it to be waste of lather
to shave an ass"

members of tho House, was chairman oI
the committee, and In great measure
prepared the bin. This tact takes the
place of all former Legislation on these
subjects. Much Of the former law is
retained in some shape, of course. The
ages for working the roads are from rs
to 60 years. Eight days wolk on the
highways,if SO omuch bs necessary, are
required; and in lieu OF that cornmuta-
tion tax Of one dollar may be paid before
the last day of March in each year. The
Senate and House disagreed in relation
to the days to be worked and The amount
of the communication tax. The difference
between the two houses in respect to
these and other important matters were
agreed upon by conference committees.
The argument in relation to the commu-
tation tax was. that with hired labor one
dollar would make better roads than the
labor of road workers for a reasonable
number of days. The levy of small tax
was also advocated, IF necessary, by
those who fayorea the one dollar com
mutatlon tax. In these and perhaps in
other respects the law is not acceptable
to all. But the general features of the
act have some advantages. Errors in il
may be corrected, but it cannot be
changed materially every year or two as
has formerly been the case, for the rea-
son that forty men in the Senate and one
hundred and twenty.four in the House
have to be consulted before change can
be made.
One of the acts amended now requires
all the Supervisors to publish quarterly
reports in q newspaper of expenditures
made hy him. These reports will appear
when the transactions of county affairs
are fresh in the mindsof the people and
can be inquired intoif any one chooses
to do so. These reports take the place
of the-annual report of the same matter
heretofore made 10y the County Treasurer.
A joint resolution was passed to extend
the time for the payment of commute.
tion tax in lieu of labor on roads for the
year. 1902 to March 3lst, 1902, without
penalty.
The Governor has approved all the acts
passed by the General Assembly except
four. These exceptions are not known,
but doubtless will be very soon. t.

Upon request the following statement
is given by two of the directors of the
News:
The undersigned were directors and
stockholders of the Oconee News before
its management was transferred to e. K.
Werner. We know of the contentious
between Mrs. Maoaulay and the Oconee
News, which was before j.. r. Earle's
connection in any way with the pa
per. So far as we know j. r. Earle
never collected, either directly or indi-
rectly, anything from former employees
that was not accounted for. The books
of the company were readily accessible
to any of the stockholders. Statements
were made by j. r. Earle of all matters
on account of the Oconee News, which
were satisfactory to all concerned. The
sale of the stock in the Oc0nee News
was voluntary and satisfactory and no
known advantage was taken of any one.
1t was agreed by the directors and the
attorneys in the suits of Macaulay against
the Oconee News that the firm of Strib,
ling 6 Herndon should be paid twenty
five dollars and that G. e. Prince, of the
firm of Prince & Earle should receive
twenty-five dollars, and whatever j.. r.
Earle did was gratuitous.

Dan Patch, the famous PAGER. went
against the worlds record of 1853 Ia,
made by Star Pointer on the Readvile
track five years ago, this afternoon, and
in a truly ma gnificent performance
eaualled the record. Weather conditions
were perfect
Dan Patch was brought out for "a

maker Without an effort he went the
distance in 2:13. Half an hour later the
handsome black PAGER came out for his
tria, against time.
AS in the other mile, a runner was sent
out ahead. No time was lost in scoring,
ana Nryron McHenry nodded the first
time down for the wire. and a hundred
watches caught the start The PAGER had
his stride from the word. and there was
not a skip for the whole mile, his legs
moving with perfect regularity. 1t was not
until the third quarter that everyone felt
confident that the record was in danger.
Up the stretch came the PAGER, beating
ou. the runner, and flashing under the
wire a worthy mate for Star Pointer,
his time being 1:59 IA.

and the crowd rushed to the rails to see

One Captain May Fail of Re.
Election Next June, and Mr..
Wyatt May Succeed Him.

AS a result of the recent police scandal
there will be a grand shake up in the
department at the general election which
comes off next June, at which time, it
is predicted, that several important
changes will be made by the Board OF
Commissioners. 1t is stated that the
resolution adopted by the Baptist Min
Monday will have much bearing on the
action of the board, as several Of them
seem to take the matter very much at
heart.
The resolutions of the preachers ere
ated cutie a sensation throughout the
city, while among the police force there
is high Indignation. Chief-of-Police How
ard refuses TO talk al all concerning the
statement of Rev. DR.. Bagby. In fact
he won't discuss the situation either one
way or the other.
While the head of the department re-
fused absolutely to speak of the resolu-
ton the members of the Board Of Com
missioners, or most of them, are equally
as reticent, it being impossible to get an
official statement from any one OF them
Several are of the opinion that the min
listers acted somewhat hastily and with
out first gaining a full understanding. Of
the case.
Be all of this as it may, there is a
well-founded rumor afloat to the effect
that at the next general election in June
a grand shake up will happen. 1t is
stated that at least one police captain
will fail OF reelection Who will be
chosen to succeed him cannot be ascer-
tanned. There is some talk of Wyatt's
being made a captain.
While all Of this is conjecture on the
part Of those who ought to be familiar
with the affair. it may be stated posi-
lively that there will be something doing
at the general election, but just what
cannot be stated with any degree of ac-
curacy.
