TIE house seems tlispms d to
make no chan es In tie dis spensury
law. The most marked change
proposed is the bill of Mr.. Pol
lock to regulate the purchase of
liqnor from distillers in South
Carolina.
The house has passed a road
law, u flexible kiud Of measure
which will fit all counties and will
be satisfactory if the county com
mlssioners will fix, the commute,
tion tax at what it should be. But
"every man in politics has due re,
gard to his political head" as
member from GreenviIIe says,
and the county commissioners
will have many appeals made 10
leave the commutation tax at ono
dollar in their respective coun l.
ties.
The appropriation bill may be
introduced the latter part of this
week or the first of next week.
Consequently this will he a week
of hard work to get local measures
and other matters out of the way
of the appropriation measures
which will yield to nothing. Col.
Moses, chairman Of the ways and
means committee, complains of
the tardiness of the county dele
cations in sending in their esti-
mates for special levy in the re-,
spective counties
There ere just II working days
left, and as the calenda, Is full
and the committees are very we'll
up with their work, the house
will not be able to complain of a
lack of something to do.

light as the early trains got in,
two mon got off the train from
Atlanta and Immediately attract
ed the attention of Policemen
Williams and Laney, who were at
the station. The men called for
tickets to Hamlet, having to
change cars here. The policemen
followed them from the ticket
Office. The two strangers, see-
ing that they had attracted the
attention of the officers, started
up town, instead of going into
the car. The policemen followed
ten or fifteen feet behind them.
Suddenly, and together, the men
wheeled about and opened fire
with pistols. The officers quick
ly retul ned the fire, and it is o
marvellous fact that the four men
thus stood face to face and fired
point blank ut each other until all
their pistol were empty without
any one being hit.
DOGS PUT ON THE TRAIL.
The battle ended, the men
plunged into the darkness and
crossed the town in an easterly
direction When daylight came
the policemen secured help, sent
for the two dogs at the chain gang
stockade, and took up the trail.
1t was fallowed until the men
were caught Ave miles above town,
after they had secured breakfast

They offered no resistance, and
indeed had thrown away their
arms. Only n small amount of
money and professional burg

MAKING OF MORAL
STANDARDS OF SOUTH.
Come From. Public Senti-
nlent Not Presidential DiCtum.
Rev. w. b. Capers Criticises
Roosevelt for His Course To-
ward the South on the
Negro Question.

The Columbia, Tenn, Daily
Herald contains the following
which will be of special interest
to the people of South Carols
ma:
President Roosevelt's appoint
ment of negroes to Office in the
south, and his attempt to place
them upon an equality socially
with the southern people, was the
subject of strong criticism, by
Rev. w. b. Capers yesterday
morning during his sermon at the
Episcopal church.
Mr.. Capers took for bis text
Matthew, 26-52: "Put up thy
sword again into its place, for all
they who live by the sword shall
perish by the sword" The trend
of the minister's remarks was
that might does not make right.
Reforms (vainly soscalled), he
said, conceived in the ambitious
designs of bad men, born at the
inception of strife, and nurtured
upon the spoils and plunder of a
people, are but short lived in
their triumphs and are most per-
nicious in their influence, and
stand IN sickening contrast to the
reforms for which Christ strove.
which were permanent in their
nature and universally beneficial
in their influence. In other words,
Christ sought to reform the
world, to reform the individual
by conviction, and not by physi
cal and external force.
Charles the Great drove thous.
ands of barbarians into the bap.
tlsmal waters at the point of the
sword, but that did not make them
Christians.
The Speaker then turned his
attention to the arbitrary course
President Roosevelt is pursuing
in his attempt to enforce negro
officials on the south and have the
negro recognized socially, which
he is doing, said tho munster, not
only in violation of that princi-
pie of diplomacy which causes the
withdrawal of representative
one country to another, when that
representative is distasteful to tho
people among whom he is sent,
but is persisting in it over the
protests of the citizens, the legis-
latures, the national representa-
tives and the best element of his
own party in the States where he
is making his appointments.
"We may be coerced into ac-
cepting the negro officials" said
MIR. Capers, "but by thus allying
himself with the most vicious ele-
ments of his party, he will simply
realize the force of another Scri.-
tural maxim, q handmaiden to our
text: with what measure you
meet it out, 1T shall be measured
to you again The principle In
the life of the municipality and in
the life of the individual is the
same; the moral ,tandards of our
community are going to be, not
what we make them by the enact
ing of law, but what the public
sentiment of this community SAYS
they shall he If you want
community which practices tenn
perance, soberness and chastity,
public sentiment must create a
and if laws are framed
and enacted to minimize moral
corruption public sentimest must
be back of those laws, or else the
avs and officers If the law are
alike powerless to achieve the
slightest success. Thus eyery

What The Senate
May Do This Week.
Some of the Measures That Have
Already Passed-Bills Now
On Tho Calendar.
The State, I'd inst.

be regarded as the most import
ant of the session. From the
beginning monday night there has
been q manifest disposition to get
down to earnest work and many
important matters have Leen care
fully considered and intelligently
voted upon.
The surprise /of the session is
tho passage of the child labor
measure by large majorities on
both the second and third read>
ings without debate. This is q
matter in which the entire State
has been deeply interested, and
for several sessions has been de-
feated in the general assembly by
decreasing majorities. The dis
cussion extended to the meetings
teld previous to tho primary cleo
tlons thus taking the matter, IN a
large measure, out of the hands of
the general assembly. Every
senator had fully made up bis
mind on the question before cons
ing 10 the capital. The matter is
now in the house of representa-.
tives and the oUtcome is watched
with interest throughout the
State.
The biennial sessions measure,
which also passed the senate is
not SO much II matter Of surprise.
1t is necessary that the bill shall
receive two thirds majority of
10th houses before it can go be-
fo;e the people in the shape of an
amendment to the constitution to
be voted on in the general elec-
ton. 1t is the people, therefore,
and not the general assembly who
must say whether there shall be
biennial sessions or not, and on
them the members seem willing to
shift the responsibility.
A compulsory education meas,
ure also passed the senate but in
its present shape it is like castoria
harmless. The Imprisonment
clause being stricken out and only
the penalty IF fine being attach
ed it cannot be considered a very
stringent or radical measure.
1t IS hard to foretell what dis
position the house will make of
, tho measure when 1t comes befol @
it this week.
CONTESTED MEASURES.
The senate has on it's calendar
several measures which are cal.
culated TO provoke discussion,
viz: Mr.. Hydrlck's joint resolu
tion to extend the time for the
payment of taxes without penalty
until March 81, 1908; the bill to
regulate and fix the liabiIies Of
railroad companies having a re-
lief department to it's EMPLOYEES:
bill to regulate the traffic in
seed cotton and unpacked lint cot
ton; bill to provide scholarships
for post graduate study in South
Carolina college; a bill to require
State and not the railroad com.
panies to pay salaries of the rail-
road commissioners and their
clerk-and a few others, 10 gay
nothing of the house bill 10 pro-
hibit cock fighting in the State.
The latter has already been touch
ed on and promises much amuse-
ment when 1t comes squarely be-
fore the senate.
Thus far no bills looking to the
repeal of thslien law nor the an
nihilation of the dog have been
introduced.
The ealendar is in fine shape, but
20 far only few measures have
come from the house.

half an ounce Of French sheet gela-

It is whispered that the energetic.
up -to-date girl win braid her own hat
this summer, and that thin straw,
which is So similar to rafiia, is the
stuff to be used most generally. A.
particularly pretty model just shown
me was braided Of dark blue and white
straw, with the brim left unfinished for
a space Of, say three inches on the
upper side and blue silk laid in soft
folds. A huge knot Of the silk inter-
twined with a coil Of straw finished
this spring beauty.
AS for rafla, a new field of useful-
ness has been discovered for it. It's
possibilities as a material for the arr
tishc embroiderer have just been dis
covered. Linen and buriaps and ma
terials Of coarse texture are the best
grounds for the rafia emhroideries.
but when they are used many Of the
embroidery stitches are possible, and
the effect, especially as summer dec-
orations. is very good. A great bunch

In our houses, in our clothes. in our

we wear, there has arisen a new era.
and it is designated as the L'Art Nou-
veau. While this msy seem a very
formidable term, It is really quite the
reverse. Simplicity has great deal
to do with All that comes under this
title. It is really merely a catch word
for the emancipation OF all that is
worn out in artistic or mechanical
ideas. 1t is nothing more than the
renaissance Of the present time. in
personal and household adornmenb
from the ugliness Of the half century
