DIR. COLEMAN AND MIR. LYLES SHOOT
Newberry, Nov. 25.-News
was received here tonight that DR..
Coleman and MIR. Will Lyles,
prominent white men living at
Maybinton, this county, near the
Union line, became engaged in
u difficulty this morning in which
both were shot and seriously
wounded. MIR. Lyles received
four bullets in the bowels, and
DR.. Coleman was shot in the
chest. The weapons used wore
revolvers. 1t appears that the
difficulty was the direct result of
a dispute between the parties last
night. No further particulars
could be obtained.

Whistling, us II health exercise. is now
championcd by German and Swedish
professors of physical training. They as
scrt that great benefit comes from con

effort on the part of the whistler must be

drill schools have been formed where
one of the chief exercises consists in ~
ing fiat back downward. on table and
simply breathing and cXpclling air from
the lungs with regularity and vigor.
Dumb bells and Indian clubs have been
discarded by the advanced health cultur-
lists in those institutions. As method
of prOlongng life and strengthening the
human frame against sickness, whistlng
is said to be beyond compare. Develop
ment Of chest and neck muscles is one
of the special advantages claimed for the
exercise. Long, deep breathing is an es-
scntiai for good whistler. as it is not
permissible to draw in the breath except
during the intervals of the sound pro-
duction. Besides the good that accrues
to the performers general health, there
is an advantage in knowing how to
whistle WELL for good whistling is al

ROOTS CUBAN VISIT.

Secretary of War Root departed FOR
Cuba yesterday. Before leaving ne
said that he was going to sec about
the evacuation of the American troops
previous to the formal establishment Of
the new republican government in the
ever faithful isle
If this is merely Mr. Roots mis-
sion there can be no questioning us
propriety. But let us wait while ana
watch for developments.
Rathbone, who was recently con-
yicted of robbing the Cuban postal
treasury is a friend Of Mark Hanna
He is the custodian of many OF HAN
mas poIitjcal secrets He has been SEN
fenced to ten years in Jail, and II he Is
kept in jail he is liable to blab Han
na has demanded his release He has
declared that he was willing to put
nm hundred thousand dollar bail
bond for him. He has also hinted that
while RathbOne was on tFial 0eVIetal
Root instructed General Wood to be
lenient with him. in fact, TO provide
for hls acquital
The military authorities will only act
on orders and these orders are made
matter of record Now watch and see
if Rathbone is not released "on bail
as an incident of Roots visit. Hanna
is yet too powerful to have his de-
mands denied by the Roosevelt admin
istration Hanna might insist upon be-
coming President himself in order to
release his felon friend.
Rooseyelts good intentions are
becoming somewhat proyerhial. but
when he faces a masterrul person like
Hanna. he must either use diplomacy
or take to the woods.

PRESIDENT OF A FRICTION.

The latest report from Washington
intimates that X-Senator John NJ.
Thurston. of Nebraska, has been slated
for the Secretaryship of the Interior
as soon as the persistent and indus
trious Hitchcock can be evicted
The appointment of Thurston would
be a proper companion piece TO that
OF rayne. of Wisconsin. Both are prof
essional lobbyists and each has had
to leave his country IN hurry on oc-
casion TO avoid testifying before in
yestigating committees. Thurston fed
10 Canada when the Pacific railroad
commission appointed by President
Cleveland summoned him to give evil
dence
Roosevelt has proved by the char
acter of his appointments, particularly
of those whose duty it is to advise him,
that the high ideals he was wont to
illustrate by speech when he was
private citizen were largely sham. The
dCludL IlOOoSNt4I 10 q RiSA-N"AO@N>~
politician working hard to be retain
ed in Office.
Let us concede that Mr.. Roosevelt
meant we'll at the start, ana even that
he means well now. Let us admit even
that his purposes are of the best from
a certain point of view, but he unques-
tionably hath eaten of the insane
root, ambition" and the result is that
he has felt too much about the sue
cession, about the denomination, about
those things that are personal to MI
Roosevelt, rather than things helpful
to the people at large.
Instead of making friends of the
high-minded of all parties, he has GER
tainly lost the confidence of many who
were his sincere admirers when h'
was a subordinate officer He nigh
have been the President of the whole
people. Now he appears to be the
President of a party only. In fact, N
is only President of a faction or
party.
