MeLaurin Declines.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 21-Pres-
ident Roosevelt is in receipt of let-
ter from Senator John L. McLaurin
of South Clrolina declining the prof
fered appointment to the vacancy on
the bench of the United States court
of claims. The president it can be
said, much regrets Senator McLaur-
ms decision. as be believes that
McLaurin's senatorial experience and
career as attorney general of South
Carolina would have rendered him
a particular good addition to the court
of claims.
The president now is uncertain
what he will do about Senator Nc
Lsurin. It is understood that he is
anxious to appoint him to some posi-
tion in recognition Of what the presi-
dent regards as his service to the
country and his demonstrated ability
in public life. Senator McLaurin's
letter is couched in the most positive
terms and. evidently was based in par
ticular.
UPON A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE
which accompanied the letter. The
article stated that the Senator had
sold himself for the prospect of get
ting such an Office as that offered to
him. It can be said, however that
the president regarded such type
of accusation as beneath notice and
sincerely regrets that Senaaor Nc
Laurin should have deemed it neces-
sary to pay any attention to it.
Senator McLeurin evidently has
changed his mind about accepting
the profered appointment since he
was in Oyster Bay on July II. At
that time he indicated his readiness
to accept the vacancy on the court of
claims and the only question then
was when he should resign from the
senate.

An Exclamation.
the Editor Of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In the issue of your paper of date
July 16, in reference to the provis-
ionsl basis of assessment for all
property subject to assessment by
the State Board, you have this to say:
"On the other hand the board very
readily agreed, however inconsistent
they were in doing so, to assess at
their full value cotton and cotton
seed oil mills and fertilizer factories" "
The following resolution fixing the
provisional basis of seventy-f7e per
cent. for all property subject to
assessment by the State Board was
agreed upon:
Resolved, That all property subject
to assessment by this board be put
on basis Of seventy-fve per cent. Of
it's market value and that the County
Auditor and County Chairman OF
each county be required to furnish
the Comptroller General before the
next meeting of this board a sworn
statement according to their best
knowledge and belief showing what
per cent of it's market value property
was assessed in their county. Pro-
vided, That when this information
has been obtained the board may
lower the per centage to such figure
as will equalize the taxes and at the
same time provide sufficient amount
to meet the requirements of the yari-
GUS counties.
The above resolution is self ex-
planatory. No comment is necessary.
Respectfully,
n. B. Wannamaker,
Member State Board Of Equalization,
for Lexington County.

Tribute Of Respect.

Whereas God, in bis all wise provi-
dence and inscruitable wisdom, has
seen fit to take the gentle spirit of
Joe, the eldest son of Brother L. W.

its earthly parents and has taken it
to dwell with him in glory; therefore,
we, members of Dixie Lodge, No.

deeptest sympathy in their sore affiic-
tion. God works in a mysterious
way his wonders to perform, and
We bow in humble submission to his
will and turn our faces from the
shadows and Darkness of the grave
to the marvellous radiance and glory
proceeding from tie Throne of God
and exclalm, mot our will, but thine
be done, Oh, God, blessed be the
name of the Lord. Our morning is
turned into joy when We remember
that the Lord chastens those whom
he loves and all things worketh
together for good to those who love
God.

portant resolution of Mr.. Lucas's
been discussed in all it's bearings,
showing the shrewdness displayed
by the Bosses in getting returns but

result, it would have been carried,
but it seemed, a tender place had

interesting reading if the telegram
advocates would publish the necessity
of such prohigacy for kilograms and
such rigid parsimonious economy for
managers.
After the committee appointed to
fix the places and dates for the cam
paign meetings reported member
of the Ex Committee whose precinct
had been left out, asked for a cam
paign day at Ssmaria. As their re-
Guest could not have added any ex-
pense to the committee nor any one
else except as they voluntarily con-
tributed and there being no good
reason why a section remote from
town and railroad is not entitled to a
day if they want it therefore their
request was, by large majority
granted. Other sections, including
the town of Batesburg, then made
application and were by majority
granted campaign days. But, 10

meeting when the members were
hungry, tired and anxious to get out
of the hot court room, member who
had not before been on the floor
offered, and it carried, by few ayes,
no one voting in the negative except
your humble servant, a motion to
allow no campaign days except those
recommended by the committee ap-
pointed for that purpose.
The above is synopsis of the pro-
ceedings of the meeting not already
published, taken down from memory,
your scribe having made no notes,
believing that the whole proceedings
would be published by the Secretary;

lished in the Dispatch, 10th July,

five to ten colonies. Hitherto 1t has
been supposed that there Is never more
than one male in single herd. but
there now seems to be abundant proof
that each herd contains seals of only
one sex. Thus, in one bay there will
be five or six herds of males and In
another five or six herds of females.
Professor Chun, who has studied the
seals thoroughly In their native haunts,
says that for long time after the ami
mails return to the Kergueles In the
autumn they do not take any food, but
remain torpid in beds which they form
until they have shed their old hair and
put on a new coat. During the winter
he saw several seals killed, and not
particle Of food was found In their
stomachs.
Mr. Hall, on the other hand. says that
the seals during this period feed once
a day, going down to the water to OBJ
tain supply of fish. In any case, 1t il

without food for long time since they
