Copyright 1908. by c. B. Lewis.l ~HERE was a sort of deep sea
 roll to Mir. Bowser's gait as he
 came home the other evening,
 and there was a sort of shiver my timbers look in his eye as he hung up his hat and overcoat. It wasn't Mrs. Bowser's policy to take notice of these things, and she had nothing to say un- til an hour later, when a boy left a package at the door containing a tele- scope and a yachting cap.
 What on earth are you going to do with those things?" she asked as Mir. the cap on his head.
 There is no particular reason for anxiety on your part" he answered with all the dignity of commodore as he picked up the glass and squinted at the opposite wall through it.
 Have you bought a man-of-war or are you going to enter into a contest with Admiral Dewey?"
 Commodore Bowser paced the quar- ter deck for a few minutes before re- plying and then said:
 Il nave an invitation 10 take trlp on yacht tomorrow. and if I like it as well as believe l shall I may buy the craft. The doctor was telling me the other day that what I needed was salt water ozone"
 'I was expecting you to develop some new fad" said Mrs. Bowser. but this is the silliest thing yet. The idea of your going on yachting trip when you can hardly cross bridge without be- ing seasick. You'n be lying on your back the whole time. It would be more sensible for you to go and buy brick yard instead of yacht. Brickyards don't bob up and down in a gale.''
 Woman. you will either talk to me in respectful manner or retire to your stateroom!' exclaimed the commodore after casting look to windward.
 If l don't I suppose I'll be court martialed and shot. Now, then, you have got the yachting fad. You have gone and bought a cap and telescope. There is q hurricane in your right eye. a typhoon in your left, and you have

A TIMELY WARNING

AT Pasco President Roosevelt eX-
pressed the hope that the irrigable
lands may be kept out Of the hands
of spectators and Reserved. for the
use of actual Settlers This was a
timely hint to the people Of this part
of the country to beware Of the spec
ulators who are now trying to create
a boom in PascO land for their own
profit It is advertised quite persist
emily in certain newspapers that a
mysterious. if not mythical, Seattle
syndicate is buying up all the land
that it can get around PascO with a
view to establishing a big system of
irrigation. This syndicate is said to
have unlimited capital at IS command
If it is true that a syndicate is aC-
quiring all the available arid land
around Pasco it is dollars 10 dough-
nuts that it is being done with the
idea that the government Will soon
take up the work of irrigation in
that section and that the spectators
Will then reap harvest by selling
land at high prices to h0meseekers
The day is surely coming in the not
distant future when the desert land

blossom as the rose by irrigation, but

concrete examples. For instance. If
the president would publicly de-
nounce the corrupt methods by which
Addicks has gained political power IN
Delaware and by which Boss Quay
controls the rotten borough of Penn
svlvania he would demonstrate his
absolute independence Of corrupt pol
iticians. even if he did thereby run
the risk of losing the support OF the
states controlled by such men in the
next republican national convention.
In this state it would have been in
line with the presidents preaching
for him to have denounced the meth
DDS used by George Stevenson and
other lobbyists in controlling legisla-
ton and debating the election of
United States senators.
At Olympia the president said that
we should be no less severe in deal
ing with successful rascals than IN
uedlluS w III uIOuNSCSSIul ObSo' iie'
is good doctrine, but it would be well
if the president would demonstrate
how it might be put into practice.
He has recognized as his political ad-
visers and as his dispensers of pat
rOnage men who resOrted to bribery
to gain office and some Of whom,
such as Quay. have been charged
with robbing the treasures of the
states which they control
The American people have a great
deal of faith in the sincerity OF Theo-
dore Roosevelt. because Of some
splendid examples of moral courage
that he has given his cOuntrymen,
but they would have even greater
faith in him if he would break for
ever with such VIGOROUSLY corrupt
bosses as Addicks and Quay. Preach
ing without practice is vanity, only
sounding brass and tinkling cymbal

NEW YORK'S IMPORTANCE.

Long preceding initiation Of the
campaign, New York has already be-
come the X-quantity in political equa
tons Forecasts are even now deal
ing with that states relations to the
nominations and to the vote of 1904.
Less is said of New York's intiu-
ence upon the democratic nomination,
although certain New York candi-
dates have received mention, than its
bearing upon the republican choice
During the past week events have
stimulated discussion Of the latter
proposition. Governor Odell appears
to have forced his way to control OF
the state machine, and conjecture he's
it that, since this means the downfall
Of Platt. whom the president has re-
cCgnized as the head Of the state
party organization. the governor will
throw New YOrk's force against Mr.
Roosevelt's nomination. That this
would be a difficulty in MI Roose-
velt's path goes without saying.
1t is predicted with a degree Of
confidence and apparently some rea
son that. in the event Of his nominal
ton, Mr.. Roosevelt will not be able
70 carry his own state. a thoughtful
analysis based on former results is
furnished by Mr.. Raymond, a New
York correspondent, and tends to
show that the state will go democrat

1900, but it was cut down to barely
5000 for Gdell in 1902. The Socialist
and social-demOcrat vote last fall was
about 10000 and the prOhibitionists
pOlled 10000, these scattering ele-
merits amounting to seven times
0dell's plurality. These elements
added to the democratic show a ma
jority of $4,000 over the entire re-
publican vote. Odell's victory last
year was attributed not to lack of
potential voting strength in the dem
Ocratic ranks. but solely to demo-
cratic Indifference. Certainly these
figures are eloquent of democratic
possibility for 1904.
The chance Of carrying New York

opposition to Mr.. Roosevelt amounts
to a prOba bility-shOuld inspire de-
mocracy with added hope and empha
size the party.s opportunity. Against
New York and solid south and
tariff revision sentiment in the west
the Roosevelt chance would appear
slim enough.
A Close scrutiny Of the actual fac
tors and the probabilities of the sit
uation cannot too soon begin. When
democrats perceive not only the
strength of their weapons but the
scope of their opportunity they can
not but be strengthened in courage
and resolution. Every encouragement
is an incentive to eliminate factions
and personal riyalries and to stand
firmly together.

Washington, ID. G., February 16,
1908. Editors Keowee Courier The
State of South Carolina, especially
the Third Congressional District, is
to be congratulated on the elevation
to the United States Senate of the
Hon. Asbnry @. Latimer, of Bolton,
3, u, after the 4th of March next.
Representative Latimer has been
a faithful worker for his District for
the past ten years, having accom-
plished more than any other Repre-
sentative from the State, and in his
capacity as Senator he will accom-
plish as much, if not more, for the
State at large than has been done in
years.
While Senator-elect Latimer is not
OF the Tillman type exactly, he is
nevertheless warm friend of the
senior Senator. He won his election
after two primary contests in the
State, leading his distinguished and
able opponents by large vote. Mr..
Latimer has recently received the
unanimous vote of the General AS
sembly of South Carolina for United
States Senator.
1t is hoped that with the passing
away of McLaurin from the political
arena harmony will again be restored
between the two members of the
Senate from the old Palmetto State.
Keep your eye on Latimer. s.

Bishop Galloway Discourases Prohibition.

jackson, Miss, February 12.-The
letter of Bishop Charles B. Gallo
way, of the Methodist church, in
which he in no uncertain terms con-
demned the movement for statutory
prohibition, has thrown cold water
over the State prohibition forces, and
the effect of his utterance will be
seen at the coming convention of the
State prohibitionists which will be
held in this city on the 18th of this
month. Bishop Galloway in his let
ter said that he thought statutory
prohibition bad thing; that it ore
ated strife and opened the question
at the session of every Legislature,
while the present law of local option,
that of allowing every county to de.
eide the question for itself, was by
far the most satisfactory. The Bishop
has large following and his stand
on the question will undoubtedly de-
feat the measure.

Witnesses say that both parties
were drinking. The difficulty was
started by the loan of some money.
Goodwin fired four shots, only one
taking effect. 1t entered the left

An Explanation in order.

A matter which deserves an ex
PLANTATION from the authorities of tn,
State Lunatic Asylum has beer
brought to our attention.
Several months ago a negro mar
named Clayborn Gary was sent from
Greenyille to the State Lunatic Asy,
lum for treatment and custody
Several weeks ago a rumor reached
his wife here that Gary was dead
La order to ascertain the fact this
woman says she wrote three letters
to DIR. ]. w. Babcock, the physician
in charge, without receiving any
reply. A prominent citizen OF
Greenyille was then appealed to by
the woman and has written twice to
DR.. Babcook asking for the desired
information. These letters also have
been treated with silent contempt
or negligent indifference, although
stamps we're enclosed for reply in
each letter and the last letter, which
was written February 1st, was regis
tered and post office receipt was re-
turned signed j. w. Babcock, per
y. w. Bunch.
There appears to be no excuse for
such neglect of duty on the part of
the State officials as these facts indi-
cate. One of the chief duties of DIR.
Babcock and his assistants is to fur
nish such information as has been.
30 frequently asked for and ignored
in this case. 1t is nothing less than.
refined cruelty for State institution
of this kind, provided by the State
for the care of its helpless insane,
white and black, to leave the wife of
a patient in ignorance for over a
month, as to whether such patient is
dead or alive; and this persistent
neglect in the face of five written
communications asking for the in
formation.
Z AS we remarked at the outset, an
explanation from the authorities of
the State Lunatic Asylum is in order
and it is due without further delay.
