Ne Had an Engagement in BaIti-
more That Called Him Away
Before Hanna Banquet Took
Place.

Charleston, Dee. 15.-United States
District Attorney John G. Capers re-
turned to Charleston this morning
from Washington. where he attended
the meeting Of the Republican national
committee at which Mr.. Capers was
unanimously recognized as the head
sof the Republican party in South Caro-
lima. Edward Deas, the negro, who
has been Mr.. Capers' rival for the
honor for some time, was ignored COM
petely and Mr.. Capers was Of course
pleased that the committee had sided
with him.
Mr. Capers was asked if he had at
tended Senator Hanna's banquet in
Washington at which Judson Lyons,
"a negro, was guest, TO which he re-
piled shat he regretted very. much that
he was unable to attend, but that he
left the Arlington Immediately after
his contest had been favorsbly decided
that afternoon and went to Baltimore
soa business, and that from there he
returned to Charleston. de stated
that he had no knowledge one way
OF the other of Committeeman Robin
SON Of North Carolina having gone to
the Arlington hotel that night, and
then having retired from the hall, as
he did rot go to the hotel himself
that night, but was out OF the city
hours before the banquet was called to
order. That the fact of Judson Lyon
of Georgia being at the banquet had
never entered his mind, for tbs simple
reason that he had been forced to
dismiss the idea of the banquet from
his mind early in the day on account
sof having been called to Baltimore on
important business, and that he there
fore never considered that feature one
way or the ether.

Our Roll of Revolutionary Soldiers

Columbia correspondence News and
Courier: Secretary of State CAN'T is
preparing a roster of the soldiers who
enlisted from this state in the Revolu-
tionary war, which will probably settle
for all time the controversies as to the
number of men furnished by this state.
The roster is being compiled from old
pay-rolls and muster blanks that were
stored in one of the rooms of the Cap
itol, and the work has been going on
for some time. An index system is
used and under the plan duplicate is
impossible Practically every name
can be deciphered and the work will be
completed in a few weeks. At present
there are something like $1,000 names
entered and the total, including the
men of Sumter and Marion, will not
go over 10000.

about three doses of the medicine To my
great relief the cough and cold had com
pletely disappeared and I was able to
preach three times on Easter Day. I know
that this rapid and effective cure was due
to your Cough Remedy. make this testi-

Specaai 30 EI06 STATE.
Washington, Dec. 16.-f John G.
Capers, Republican national COM
mitteeman. United States district
attorney, Republican referee and chief
adviser of the president for the State
of South Carolina, did not sit down
to table, sat, drink and was not merry
with a:negro 9udson Lyons, register
of the treasury-at Senator Hanna's
banquet to the national committeeman
last Saturday night at the Arlington
hotel, then Mr.. Capers has been grossly
slandered by four members of the
national commi ttee who were present
one OF them representative in con-
gress and by the esteemed secretary Of
Senator Hanna himself.
ii. Mr.. Capers did attend the banquet
as Representative Browniow, national
committeeman from Tennessee; Solo
man Luna. national committeeman from
New Mexico, and Elmer Dover, secre-
tary to Senator Hanna, positively
assert that he did, then so much the
worse for Mr.. Capers' memory. For
these gentlemen declare with one
accord that Mr.. Capers was at the ban
-quet and remained throughout; that
he appeared to enjoy the feast, and if
he had any om2unctions about eating
with his negro conferee fom Georgia,
he kept them strictly to himself.
Regarding Mr.. Capers' presence at
the BANQUET. Mr.. Luna said .sMr.
Capers was at Senator aanna's ban
.quet. Of course. I know it because
talked with him. He remained
throughout the evening, and if any
one says he was not there or left on
account of negro, they don't know
what they ave talking about. -
Says Representative Brownlow, one
sof the most respected Republicans in
congress today, q member of the appro-
priations committee and power In
the conventions of the party:
. I certainly recall seeing Mr.. Cap
sers at the banquet. Indeed / am
under the impression be favored us
with brief talk.
When telephoned Mr.. Dover, Sena-
tor Hanna's secretary tonight, to ask
if Mr.. Capers attended the banquet,
this reply came over the wire: "Why,
yes, Capers was there. In fact they
we're all there except Robinson of
North Carolina.
Judson Lyons, register of the treas
1ry, the negro guest at the banquet,
when asked today whether Mr.. Capers
was q fellow guest at Senator Hanna's
banquet. replied: "That's social
matter, and you must excuse me from
discussing it. I was guest at Senator
Hanna's dinner and it is not for me
to say who was there OF who was not. :"
By members of the committee who
were there it is stated that Mr.. Capers
appeared to be intensely interested in
the remarks Of National Committee
man Dimick from Alabama, who spoke
on the negro question in the south
and the attitude of the southerners
toward him. The many friends of
Mr.. Caeprs among the southern colony
In Washingtonh are hoping that
