pretty little incident occurred in
Washington day or two ago. Among
the applicants for appointment to
vacant judgeship on the bench of the
federal court in Kansas was Judge J.
c. Pollock. It had been charged by
the political enemies Of Judge Pollock
that he played poker. The President
had notified the Kansas delegation that
they must settle the judgeship question
among themselves, and they were in
the act of taking the twelfth ballot for
a candidate when the information came
to them that they need ballot no longer,
as the President had made a choice.
1t seems that an investigation into the
poker charges against Judge Pollock
had been made, showing him g8iitless,
and that the President had been shown
a letter from the judges little ,daugh-
ter, aged IS, in which she wrote: Dear
Papa: Why don't you go to the Presi-
dent and tell him about it? If he
sees your face he will never believe
those nasty charges" The result of
the investigation and the letter COM
bined to make up the Presidents mind.
And he sent rose to the little girl
with the message: Il like a little girl
who has that kind of faith in her
father"

The 1.-TWO Teddies" campaign button
has made its appearance in Chicago
The two "Teddies' are Theodore Roose-
welt and Judge Theodore Brentane
whom the buttons name for President
and Vice President respectively. With
out disparagement to Judge Brentano,
a Chicago jurist of whom little is
known outside of his own bailiwick
it may be observed that two "Teddies'
at one and the same time would be
altogether too much. One of them has
proved almost as puzzling as a basket
of monkeys.

Senator -McCreary of Kentucky is an
authority on historical incidents of the
Mexican war; of which he has been an
interested student. A tribute to the
courage of Jefferson Davis he is fond
of relating.
"It was during the Mexican war;"
he said. LAS you know, Jefferson Da-
Wis had previously eloped with the
daughter of Taylor, who was then in
command on the Texan border, and
not in close touch with the White
House. just as Dewey was out of reach
by cable at Manila. The American
troops crossed the border. The Next
cans made trouble and Taylor went
ahead, and the victories of Palo Alto
and Monterey were won. In the fam
Gus battle in which Bragg was told
to Load your cannon with grape, sir!'
Davis who was then under command
of Taylor, went ahead and won not
able victory in a certain part of the
field. When he returned Taylor grasp
ed his hand cordially and, after con-
graduating him, said: Let me tell
you, sir that you displayed better
judgment in the selection of a husband
for my daughter than l did myself"

Court Proceedin gs.

Court convened on Monday
morning with Hon. J. G.
Klugh as presiding judge.
The solicitor, stenographer
and other court officials were
at their respective posts. On
account of quarantine regula
tons three grand jurors and
five petit jurors were prevent
ed from attending. This,
however, did not seriously
retard the progress as the five
mile jury box was called into
requisition.
The March term of criminal
docket is the lightest on record
Only three indictments, all
against Edgeheld fire bugs,
were handed the grand jury
and a true bill was found in
each case. Monday was con
sumed with the case of the
State VS. Chris McManuu, in
dicted for forgery, not guilty.
The State was represented by
the solicitor and J. w. De-
Wore, Esq, and the defendant
by Messrs. S. MEG. Simkins
and S. M. Smith.
AS we go to press on Tues
day, Ella Morse, charged
with assault and battery, is
being tried. The solicitor is
representing the State and
w. DeVore, Esq, the defen
dant.
The grand jury was dis
charged Tuesday atnoon and
it is probable that the docket
will be cleared and court
adjourn sine die this afternoon
or Thursday morning.

EFFECTIVE WORK.
@ENATOR Tillman,

~ ENATOR Tillman, to
= use Ct expression OF the
street, had the Republicans
on the run for some days pri.
or to the adjournment OF the
s7th Congress and while in
possession of this point oi
vantage put in some effective
work for his constituency. He
secured-what at first seemed
;mpossible-an adverse com.
1nittee report upon Crum's
nomination and intercepted
the vote of the senate upon
said nomination. But for the
100000 secured by him
work on the dry dock al
Charleston would have beer
temporarily suspended fol
lack of available funds. He
also won the fight involving
the payment of Suth Carolina
claim for $47,245 against the
national government.
Tillman's recent speech up
on the race question has eli
cited muchfavorable comment
and is said to have been the
ssablest and most temperate
deliverance he has made since
he became a senator. F"
Strange to say, it is not Till.
manesque. Instead of prob.
ing the vitals of the Republi.
can with his pitch-fork he
used a shovel, cramming their
ears with such stunning and
irrefutable facts, in his review
of the racial conditions in the
South, as to put them to con-
sternation and confusion. He
has received thousands of re-
quests for copies of this speech
hundreds of which were from
the North.
Since the above was writ
ten, President Roosevelt, af-
ter reconvening the senate in
extra session, again sent DR..
Crum's nominate to the SEN
ate. 1t is a case of: "Greek
meets Greek" and Senator
Tillman declares emphatical-
ly that he will a second time
prevent a vote on it.

GAME PRESERVES.

@ONSIDERING the un'
~ expected source-the
Aiken correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle-we are
doubly grateful for the free
advertisement given a portion
of our county as shown by
the following" "The northern
ers ought to 60 into Edgefeld
county, in the neighborhood
of Stevens creek, Meetin 2
Street, etc. There game is
so abundant and so unmoles-
ted that it scarcely knows the
fear of man. A game pre-
serve in that section would be
a rich field for years to come.
Our visitors can see after this
next winter"
Should wealthy northerners
become interested as above
suggested greater tranform-
alton would be wrought in the
hills and dales of Meeting
Street and vicinity than has
been wrought in the sand
beds of Aiken. With thou
sands of dollars so prodigally
expended those "hills would
break forth into singing and
all the trees of the fields
would clap their hands,
This suggestion is not such
a-day dream as some may
think. On the contrary, it is
easily within the range of pos
sibilities. Mr.. E. A. Burdett,
the wealthy northern gentle
man whose annual visits to
Edgeheld are a pleant
anticipation to many, leases
the Pickens estate as hunt
ing preserve, that is, he pays
avery nice sum annually for
the exclusive privilege of hunt
ing thereon. Instead of de-
tracing from the estate it in
creascs the revenue therefrom

trespassing on the premises.
