Charleston. s. c. Nov. - CSpeciaD.-It seems
practically settled that W D. Crum. negro ply
stefan. will he appointed Collector Of Customs at
Charleston. President Roosevelt has intimated
much and while the business interests have filed
earnest protest, IT is at all likely that this
will amount 10 anything Crum has the strong
hacking Of the Republican organization in South
Carolina. The main fight being made against the
appointment of him is account Of his color. Dr.
Crum represents the better element Of the black
race He has always been conservative, has not
made himself obnoxious 10 the whites, and is recOg-
nized a leader Of his people. DR.. Crum is said
TO have the support of District Attorney CaperS,
who is regarded as the political dictator in this
State, far as the disposal Of federal patronage
goes.
Mayor Smyth and the commercial organzetions
have urged the President not TO appoint Crum.
They that the appointment will stir up race
prejudice. and VIII bring the Republican party into
more dlsrepute. and that il would be an insult 10
the people 10 have negro Ill this important once.
The old Confederate element here Is bitter in Its
deDuuCiatiOn Of Crum's possible appointment.

An astute salesman was enjoined BY
his employer to be strictly honest but
to sell goods. Next day the salesman
displayed some new fabrics, saying to
the lady shoppers "Here is some calico
that looks just like silk" But they
turned up their noses scornfully. The

Judge Davenport ls the new j. 2. of

his colleague. married a couple the Sat.
urday previous. he expressed a desire
to also tie up couple. So when the
colored folks applied at the Probate
Judges Office, Judge Lacy made the
deal and collected the fees in advance
and then sent for Judge Davenport to
perform the ceremony. Judge NJ. 2
was, of course, delighted to be so hon

to the court house. The couple were
in waiting and the marriage was con.
summsted with dignity, precision and
dispath. This done, the happy groom,
turned to Judge Davenport, made q
graceful bow and then In most polite
mood said, "Thsnk you. Sub" )" and pro-

publican and will be candidate for re-
election next fall on the republican
ticket and it is expected that he will
sustain the law. If he does the case
will be carried to the Supreme court at
once and pressed for decision before
the city election.
We are glad that the action has been
taken. This is even better than wait

The people Of Kansas are anxious to
know whether or not the courts have
the nerve to lend their assistance and
influence to this DISTINGUISHING scheme.
and il they have, they will know how
to vote intelllgently next November.
