cured Tn the spirit that animated na- tons and races in the selection of their kings.
 The first kings and chiefs after the world had emerged from the patriarchal forms of government, were selected all most altogether for their prominence as of the army became the chief of the na- ton. Almost all the ancient kings were military despots.
 Then, with the prevalence of Christian ity and the overthrow of the old govern ments, game the new rulers who claimed to rule by divine right. They, too, were almost all military despots, especially in the beginning, but the world had prog ressed far enough to demand more proof of authority to rule than mere brute power.
 Charlemagne was the first great ruler who proclaimed himself king and emperor by divine right. He did not allege. how ever, that the divine right had come to him direct from heaven, but based his claim on the fact that the Bishop of Rome, then the spiritual ruler of the Christian world. had anointed him and Christian world. had appointed him and
 The term "Dei Gratia' ct1y divine right" or the grace of God') was thus used to express the right to rule as com ing from the head of the church, until the days of Luther and the reformation. Then the power of the church was so shaken that rulers no longer felt sure that they could rest unchallenged on their right to rule as given to them by Rome. So the term by divine right became construed as meaning that the kings ruled by right of Gods will as expressed in the Old Testament in which God is recorded as having chosen kings himself to rule the people.
 Of course, 1t required much subtle ar gument on the part of the rulers and their men of learning to bring the peoples minds to accept thees various and chang ing teachings. But 1t was a time when popular Knowledge and enlightenment left much to be wished for, and the great mass of people took their information and beliefs from those who were superior to them in position and wealth.

 ''To put on the straight front corset take standing position without coat or hat or other superfiuous garments. Two lacings are run in opposite directions through holes up and down the back of the corset and meet at a place in the center. Hold the corset squarely out at the sides, then inhale three times. and. keeping the last breath firmly in at the back, snap the corset into place in the manner of a life preserver.

January 2Sd. They will doubtless be
read with interest:
This phonetic spelling affords an op-
portunity to remark that the President
is unable to extract any Crum of comfort
from that South Carolina Collectorship
muddle.
If removing the coal tariff one year is
good thing for the people at large, why
wouldn't removing it for two years be
twice as good And if for one year,
why not forever
President Roosevelt might appoint a
negro postmaster in some large New
York State city in order to have some
thing to which he might point the South
ern people with pride as an object lesson.
A Congressional committee is to inves-
tigate the coal situation. The trouble
with this sort of thing is that the printed
report of the committee will not be
available for fuel purposes as soon as
needed. -
Mr.. Roosevelt insists that Justice to
the negro demands that the negro be
permitted to hold political office when he
shows himself to be fit for it. Are there
no fit negroes in New York, Philadelphia.
Chicago, Canton, Oyster Bay and other
Northern cities ?

A Shrewd Rascal.

row. president of the bank hero, and the
National Bank, at Gaffney, and several
merchants of this place, have been made
the victims of one of the shrewdest and
best manipulated swindles reported in
this section in long while. The con
game was worked by Ernest Caseran, a
young white man of this place, who has
lived here many years and had won the
confidence of the people. Caseran went
to Gaffney last Saturday and secured
from the National Bank at that place
$400 on deed which he claimed had
been made to him by his mother. After
securing the money Caseran came back
to this place, II miles distant, and had a
check cashed at the bank here for $IO5.
Then, waiting until the bank closed, he
started out to work the town with his
checks, and this he did admirably.
Nearly every business man here cashed
Caseran's checks. The forger then left,
but it was not until the bank opened up
two days later that the merchants began
to realize what had happened. Checks
given by Caseran began pouring in. The
cashier informed the merchants that the
man had no money in the bank.
telephone message was sent to Gaff.
ney, and 1t was learned likewise that he
had no money to his credit there.
Over 81 900 was secured from the two
banks and the merchants here. A dill.
gent search was made for Caseran, but
he had made good his escape.

Lady and Boy Killed by Madman.

Charlotte, N. c., January 27.-Eli
Rogers, white man, who has twice
been in the State Hospital as insane,
yesterday shot and killed negro
boy and Miss Nancy PRESLEY, near
his home, in Union county. Rogers
was roaming through the woods
carrying a shotgun. He came upon
Will Richardson, an 18-year- old
negro boy, who was leading a team.
Rogers deliberately raised his gun,
shot and instantly killed him.
In passing the house of Jack
Helmes, who is tenant on his moth
er's land, Rogers fired through the
window at Miss Nancy Presley, the
load entering her mouth and blowing
her head off. Rogers then went to
his mother and in deliberate man
ner, told her Of what he had done,
saying he shot "Nancy because he
loved her." He wrote Miss Press
ley a note Friday and had heard that
she laughed at it. He gave no ex-
cnse for killing the negro. He also
told his mother he was going to
Monroe and give himself up, but
later loaded his gun and fled to the
woods. Last Friday he met negro
boy by the name of Winchester, and
without any provocation, shot at him,
the shot taking effect in the negro's

gifted DR.. Carlisle of Wofford, but
Mr.. Woods declined to let his name
be considered in that connection.
Again just few months ago he was
offered the presidency of South
Carolina College. A committee of
trustees went to his home to urge
him to accept, but Mr.. Woods de-
clined.
In allowing his name to be pre-
sented for the position to which he
was elected yesterday, Mr.. Woods
urged his friends not to be over
jealous in his cause, that he himself
did not want the honor and the posi-
tion badly enough to do anything,
make any combination or use any
argument for which he would after
ward feel regret and he wanted no
spot on the judicial ermine should it
be his privilege to wear it.
Mr.. Woods has been associated
with distinguished men. He is him
self aself-made man in great meas
ure. He settled in Marion in his
young manhood and was junior
partner of Henry McIver, of Cheraw,
before the latter became Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court. Mr..
Woods next partnership was with
the late Judge Shaw. And now the
junior associate of distinguished
men is himself honored in a most
conspicuous manner.
G. A. WOODS.
A gentleman who has an intimate
acquaintance with the new Associate
Justice said last night that Mr..
Woods Is pre-eminently qualified for
the high position to which he has
been elected, not only because OF
natural ability of high order, but be-
cause he has devoted himself ex-
clusively to an exhaustive study of
the law and to a large practice, and
that he is now just in the vigor of
manhood. "He is also noted for his
spotless integrity and for upright
and manly character in every way"
said this friend. "Mr. Woods has a
decided judicial turn of mind and a
correct sense of justice is marked
characteristic of his nature. While
he has been close student Of the
law he has not neglected general
reading and is man of literary
culture. In legal documents and
legal opinions his style is and will be
clear and succinct, without unneces-
sary ornament, not unlike the style
of the lamented Chief Justice.
