Senator McLaurin shows his hand
and sets at rest the question as to
whether no was going to support the
President in his appointment Of the
negro Crum,' or stand by the white
people of his State. He was inter
viewed by the Washington Post, after
the Senate Committee had failed to
report the nomination, but kindly
throws boquet TO the President.
He said in part:
81 think the action of the commit
tee is proper, because the confirma-
tion or the non-confirmation Of Crum
will raise race issue which every
good citizen, North or South, should
wish to avoid. The matter has far
outgrownthe personality of DR.. Crum
1t has become question of race, and
white supremacy is absolutely essen
tial to the best development Of both
races. This doctrine has been ac-
cepted and constitutional safeguards
thrown around it, and I have no idea
that any appointment made by this
administration is intended as an at
tack on this vital principle. There
are other colored people who have
been appointed in other Southern
States without such a furor being
raised as over this comparatively un-
importantant position.
Il think that the friends of DR..
Crumb are largely responsible for
this, because they took the position
that the refusal of the President to
appoint DR.. Crum was because Of his
race. This will always raise the
color question, and every respectable
white man in the South will be one
way when it is made a matter Of
race"

Senator Cormacl scored the Presi.
dent and the Secretary of war in q
red hot speech in the U. S. Senate
Monday, charging them with being
cognizant Of and trying to conceal
the outrages of the American Army
in the Philippines, in carrying out
the Republican policy of subdring
the Philippines at any cost. He
charged that murders in the Philip
pines by the American soldiers had
become so common that they would
not bear investigation, and they were
not investigated, Notwithstanding
Roosevelt's promise that he intended
to probe the crimes in the Philip
pines. He charges that there is a
regular organized system of torture
practiced on the natives. 1t had
been going on for months and no
torturer had ever been punished for
the crime.

The Legislature is after pistol
toters with sharp stick, and we
hope something will result that will
make the said gentry realize that tho
people and the law m can business at
last in the effort to stamp out. the
pernicious habit OF Juggling pistol
around. There is movement to
make the penalty disfranchisement
and the latest is proposition to
make the chain gang the penalty
without the privilege of paying
fine. Put them both in if necessary
anything to stop it. Never let up
until it is put down in earnest.

1t is claimed by some Of the mem
bers of the Legislature that the peo-
pie expected the time for paying
taxes to be extended and it would
consequently work a hardship on
them not to extend the time. The
people didn't expect any such thing,
they were led to believe all along that
the time would not be extended this
time, and consequently more have
paid taxes than have done so in sew
eral years. There is no. excuse OF
sense in extending time. Under our
present lava man can pay or not
by December 31st, If he wishes to use
his money be can do so by paying a
small per cent. for the use Of It,.

CHEROKEE LEADS OUT.


1t seems that our legislators have
seen fit to once more shoulder the
responsibility of the condition Of our
public roads upon the County Com
missioners in refusing to arrange for
tax levy for Good Roads. They
have left it optional with the County
Commissioners to charge anywhere
from one to three dollars commuta-
tior road duty. The Commissioners
will naturally feel hesitancy in in
creasing the road communication, but
it is now the only recourse il we are
to have good roads. We still believe
this plan is erroneous an unfair. The
only fair method, as far as we can
see, is taxation. We can very readi-
ly understand why the poor man,
struggling to make both ends meet
year after year, with his mule and
wagon to travel over the roads, will
naturally consider it hardship to be
required to pay as much for keeping
up the roads as his rich neighbor,
with his broad acres and his many
vehicles, mules and horses. Ii the
money was to be raised for road work
by taxation, each man would pay his
preportionate part of the cost. 1t
can be done in no other way.
We notice in last weeks issue of
the Gaffney Ledger, that the wide
awake County Commissioners of our
new sister county, Gaffney, have
taken the matter in hand, and at
their last meeting decided to pur-
chase 81, ,2S6 worth of road working
machinery, consisting of traction
engine, rock crusher, rollers, dump
ers, road machines, elevators, plows,
etc, and are going to work in earn
est to build good roads for that
county.
We have talked with our Commits
sioners regarding this matter some
time ago and they preferred to let the
Legislature assume the responsibility
by enactment, this we thought they
were justified in doing. The Legis-
lature has advanced step, but still
leaves it in the hands Of the Commits
sioners to make the levy or name the
Communication. Will they rise up to
the occasion and take hold of the
matter as GaTney has done, without
any further delay? If we are not
mistaken there is fine rock quarry
on the land belonging to Union
county, besides the thousands of tons
Of rock along the public roads. Take
hold, gentlemen, buy q good road
building outfit and demonstrate to
the people that you are determined
to give them good roads, and though
the Communication is unfair to the
poor man, we believe even he will
stand by you, and pay an extra dol
lar, yea two extra dollars year, to
secure first class roads for Union
county.
We usually lead, but Gaffney gets
the jump on US this time, let US fol-
low with good grace and be quick
about it. We might outstrip her yet,
and make the first show-do of the
first mile Of permanent. good roads.
1t is up to you, gentlemen of the
board, how soon shall it be?

PASSING OF THE PANAMA
Thsir vogue IN England and America
the Past Two summers
Merely q erase.

Strangely enough Panama hats are
not much affected BIZ Englishmen resi-
dent IN the lands where they are pro-
duced. Their vogue In England and
the United States for the past two sum
mers was merely a craze. They were
worn by many persons who should have
known better. says the London Outlook.
Panama hats go naturally with white
duck clothing and soft shirts. Cricket
ing OF boating aannels viii do well
enough, but a stin linen collar or
patent-leather boots bring discredit
upon themselves or upon the Panama
hat Neither does the Panama go well
with a fair complexion and l~ight-colored
hair. Your swarthy skin and dark hair
carry the Panama best. Girls who
would wear them should have we'll
formed heads and a saucy air. Strict
decorum and the Panama hat go not
well together. Fat men who perspire
steadily and readily should eschew
them for fat or slim will not wear them
much longer. The Panama hat Is dy-
Ing. Any specimens which cost three
guineas or over may be kept as a curios-
ny. Under that price they may be
burned or converted into baskets.

THE WOMAN OF R
AZ That Age She No LOnEe
AIDES and Has Reached Her
Highest Capacity.

Keith Clark remarks in the Reader
that when one knows the age Of a woman
one knows the woman. The very fact
that she permits you to know her age
exhibits her character. She no longer
masquerades. She has lost a certain I'M
certainty, an evanescent delicacy. that
was irresistible charm. Women, like
philosophy, are divided into two classes.
the movable and the unknowable. Also
ike philosophy, II is the unknowabIe
woman who is the speculable. Therefore.
to get her at her highest capacity, she
must be unmarried and about 80.
The married woman presents certain
unacceptable telltale data. She has chill
dren, and those children have apparent
ages, two facts which go far in deter
mining her annals. II sheis unmarried,
and not about 80" she is under 30,
again an indefinite fact. Being about
30" is indefinite. She may be more or
less. No n hazards a guess. There
is a delightful %vagueness in being about
30" It has nothing to do with dates;
and many Of us who from our youth up
have felt no attachment for dates can
forgive the unattached their confessed
indifference.
