(By Associated Press.)
Columbia, S. c., Aug. 27.-Democratic
primaries for the nomination of Gov
ernor and state ticket, congressional
representatives and state legislators
we're held throughout this state yes
terday. Ballots were also cast to de-
termine a successor to United States
Senator McLaurin. 1t is estimated
that 10000 votes were cast, but on ac-
count of late returns, only 10000 votes
had been reported up to / o'clock this
morning.
Owing to the South Carolina primary
law. which demands that successful
candidates must receive a. majority of
the votes cast in primaries, it is en-
tirely probable that a second primary
will be ordered, in which the two
leading candidates for each Office which
failed to receive a nominating vote
will be entered. Every nomination.
with the exception of the state treas
uryship was bitterly contested by
many candidates
From returns that have been report
ed it is understood that D. c. Hayward
of Colleton is far ahead in the race
for the gubernatorial nomina ton,
with eX-Congressman Tolbert second,
and Lieut.. Gov. James H. Tillman
third.
Partial returns received from forty
one counties show that in the contest
for the United States senatorship to
succeed McLaurin, Congressman Lati-
mer leads, and therefore will be in the
second primary. His probable Compel
itors will be either D. G. Henderson of
Aiken or ex-Congressman ]. ]. Hemp

U. x. Gunter is named for attorney
general. and Mcmahon is probably
nominated for superintendent of edu-
cation.

ant governor, secretary of state, con-
troller general, railroad commissioner
and congressional representatives.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Birmingham Age Herald (Dem.)
says: President Roosevelt signed the
order for an antitrust suit with the
one hand and the cleo bill with the
other. He put up the price of butter.
and he has not put down the price of
meats"
The Mobile (Ala) Register (Dem.)
has made up a little list It says:
Mr.. Bryan having declared his in
tention not to be a candidate for Pres
ident in 1904. we are reduced to the
expedient of choosing a leader from
the following array: David B. Hill
of New York, Joseph w. Bailey of
Texas, Daniel S. Lamont of New York,
Arthur P. German of Maryland, Tom
Taggart of Indiana, Tom L. Johnson
of Ohio, Edward M. Shepard of New
York, Carter B. Harrison of Illinois,
David r. Francis of Missouri, Lewis
Nixon of New York, Richard NJ Oh
ney of Massachusetts, Henry Waiter
son of Kentucky and Alton B. Parker
of New York"
The Philadelphia Times (Dem) says:
THE situati ton in Mexico, with Presi-
dent Diaz's retirement in prospect, is
an illustration of how the destiny of
a republic may be in the hands of an
army, TO which too much Difference
has been shown, or in the hands of
the man who is its favorite. Gen.
Reyes, the Secretary of War, is said
to possess influence that would effec-
tually veto the choice of any one to
the presidency not acceptable to him.
To a situation like this our own coun-
try might come, probably not within
the next decade, but easily perhaps
within fifty years. If the reorganiza-
ton of the army making the staff SUI
preme were carried out. The country
is to be congratulated that there seems
now little chance of the general staff
bill being passed by both Houses at
this session"
The New York Journal of Commerce
Gnd) says: IF Congress would au-
thorize branch banking 1t is nearly
certain that many banks would en-
large their capitals and establish
branches widely. But if Congress does
not authorize that, some of these banks
are likely to buy existing banks and so
provide their own agencies for the use
of their funds at a distance from home
A few cases of this sort have occurr-
ed. The reasons for this action are
growing stronger all the time. but
there is still some hope that Congress
will have enough regard for the pros
perity of the West and South. where
capital is scarce and interest rates
high. to agree to the branch banking
proposition. II the country bankers
have power TO defeat that they may
Yet ind the competition Of the great
city banks approaching them"

ROCKEFELLER CRITICISED Il
GERMANY.

The thrifty Germans are very much
disturbed because the Standard Oil
Company makes such large profits.
They do not seem to think that the
price of the oil furnished by the Stan
dard is too high, and it is probable
that they would have nothing to say
against Mr.. Rockefeller if the COM
pany of which he is the head and
front did not make so much money.
1t seems that last year the earnings
of the two German branches of the
Standard Oil Company were 441a and
IS per cent. respectively. Such profits
are practically unknown to German
industries, and naturally the German
people feel that in some way they are
being robbed.
In the Reichstag last Friday Herr
Hernsheim, a member of the National
Liberal party, proposed that an extra
duty be imposed upon American oil
His idea was to bring about the refin-
ing of oil in Germany, and drive the
Standard Oil Company out of 'the
country. The Secretary of the Impe-
rial Treasury, however, said that the
proposed increase in duty on American
oil would result either in a benefit to
the Standard Oil Company or in the
establishing of an artificial oil refin-
ing industry. In establishing an arti-
fetal oil refining industry there would
be loss to the Imperial Treasury of
about $4,000, 900 annually, and the Ger
man people would not get oil any
cheaper than they do now 1t looks
therefore as If Germany would have
to continue to patronize the Standard
Oil Company.
Herr Schlumberger, a cotton manu-
facturer, took the ground that Mr..
Rockefeller was a benevolent genius
who had organized a department of
industry, had reduced the cost of pro-
duction and had protected the con-
sumers of petroleum from price fluc-
tuations. Doubtless this idea that Mr..
Rockefeller is a benevolent genius is
new in this country. 1t may be en-
tertained by those who are so fortu-
nate as to own shares of the Standard
Oil Company, but it is doubtful if 1t
prevails generally. The discussion of
Mr.. Rockefeller's company in the
Reichstag took a pretty wide range,
but the motion to tax it out of Ger
many did not as far as learned, pre-
vail.
AS a matter of fact the Germans
ought by this time to have come to the
conclusion that it is not a wise policy
to build up industries by taxing the
people to support them. They pay a
heavy bounty to the producers of beet
sugar The consequence is that the
consumers Of sugar in Germany pay
eight. cents a pound for it, while sugar
produced there for export is sold on the
wharves at Hamburg at two cents a
pound.

THE OGDEN PLAN OF EDUCATION.

The Ogden party, which visited the
| South in the interest of education in
the latter part of April, returned to
New York last Saturday, we'll satisfied
With what it had seen and done. 1t
will be recalled that il spent four DAYS
at Athens, in this state, and that 1t
made very liberal donations to the
State Normal school.
AS is well known it is the purpose of
the men who are associated with Mr..
Ogden to raise a fund of s50.OO0.0O0 to
be expended in the aid of education.
Just before the party started on it's
trip South Mr.. j. D. Rockefeller dona-
ted to the cause 100000. 1t was an
unexpected donation. and was highly
appreciated. II is beginning to be I'M
derstood that it is Mr. Rockefeller's
purpose to use his great wealth for
the promotion Of laudable objects. He
has apparently taken the Chicago Uni
versity under his especial care. His
gifts to that institution already amount
to more than $4,000, 600. On their ar
rival in New York members of the
Ogden party are quoted as having said
that it was the intention of the or
ganization which has undertaken this
educational work to give it's attention
principally to the advancement of the
public schools. But before it does
much in that direction it will help to
prepare for their work those who
propose TO become teachers in
such schools. This is a wise decis-
ion. There are hundreds of men and
women in this state who are anxious
to prepare themselves for public
school work, but lack the means for
doing so. The Ogden party endowed
a large number of scholarships at the
State Normal School and contributed
between $4,000 and IS, 900 to the building
fund of the Winnie Davis dormitory,
that is soon to be erected at Athens.
1t seems that this educa tional work
of the Ogden organization is assuming
such large proportions that Mr.. George
Foster Peabody, the treasurer of the
organization, will devote his entire
time to it. He and others are quoted
as saying since their return from
the South, that besides aiding the
public schools attention would be given
to assisting Southern young women
and young men along the line of in
dustrial education. Mr.. Ogden said
that the fruits of what. was being
done might not be clearly seen inside
of twenty five years. OF course he
did not mean that there would be no
visible results sooner than that, but
that it would be a long time before
the full effect of the educational work
would be seen.

DROPPING IN

Blood Wine Heals the Diseased

When catarrh of the head gets to a

If you wait until it goes that far don't
t it go any further-for the next place

assumption than anything else, and like
assumption it must be treated through
re blood. Local applications at best
IN only serve to work out the dis

lrfaces and aggravate the disease.

RAILROADS AND BEEF PACKERS

One of the matters discussed in con-
nection with the movement inaugu-
rated by the government against the
beef trust is the relation existing be-
tween the beef packers and the rail-
road companies. 1t is asserted that the
railroads have good reasons for think
ing that there is such thing as a beef
trust, whether the government is able
to prove there is one or not.
1t seems that in 1892 the packers be-
gan building their own refrigerator
cars, and that now they own all of the
cars that are used in transporting their
products from the packing houses to
the various parts of the country They
rent these cars to the railroads at so
much a day per car. The cars can be
used only for one purpose, namely, that
of transporting meats. Therefore, the
railroads have to carry a vast number
of empty return cars a long distance.
But the beef trust gets pay for these
empty cars. 1t is asserted that it gets
for each car, every year, more than its
original cost. And it is said to be the
fact that it compels the great trunk
lines to accept about whatever rates it
is willing to pay. This it does be-
cause one trunk line is always ready
TO cut under another for the sake of
business.
The railroads. It is declared. have
been trying for long time to get from
under the dominating power Of the beef
trust, and while they are saying moth

Rinhops and Houses.

When Archbishop Patrick ]. Ryan

pointed a member of the Board of In

Archbishop Kendrick presided over the

unpretentious house, scarcely in keep

One day when Father Ryan was

accompanied by Chicago priest, who
was visiting the Mound City, he point
