The Courier-Journal in seeking
for q motive satisfactory to its own
5deas OF bargain and sale, as to why
Committeeman Meacham was IN ia
vorOf sustaining Chairman Young,
asserts that."Judge Bush : nomina-
ZION was brought about by changes
made ty Chas. ". Neacham and
Committeeman Whittemore" and
adds.
Mr. Meacham made the race
with Mr. Bush and is to be his
master commissioner in Christian
county If Bush is sustained and de-
feats Judge Cook and his friends
before the Central Committee.
Not enc o. these statements is
founded on truth. Mr.. Meacham
made 40 changes in the committee
aud could not have done so had be
desired to, because his committee
has ucthing to do with making
changes. Mr. Whittemore made no
changes and took no action except
to eli vacancies as required by the
party law. Mr. Meacham is not
now, never has been and never will
be an applicant for master commits
siouer under Judge Bush and would
ed him on a silver waiter Further.
more, so far as We know, Judge
Bush has not made his master com

and appoint, as he said in his
speeches, honest men who will take

So TAR as we are advised, there
are now no serious differences in
the party over the nomination of
Judge Bush. 1t is true that a few
of Judge Cook $ managers are still
claiming his nomination, but even
those concede that party regularity
is on Bush's side and that party
authority is liable to be sustained,
Just as it was in the Lexington
matter and as it will be in the
Louisville matter.
No State politician who expects
TO receive support from the party
organization, can afford to endorse
rump committees in any part of the
State. The fight the Courier-Jour.
nal IS making on the party authori-
ties is cementing the party and
NI9aing out differences 10 the State
committees. 10 the face Of a com

UNHAPPY TOPEKA
Devastated by Both Fire ard
Flood.
Up TO Sunday $50 Lives Had Been
Lost and Situation Still
Unimproved.

Topeka, Kan, May 31.-North
Topeka, section of the capital of
Kansas, with population of 10, 900,
is undergoing destruction by FIRE
and water. AT midnight $50 lives
were reported lost and 400 other
persons were in imminent danger.
Most of the dead were burned. The
property loss has already reached
millions of dollars. While every
foot of territory in the city was
covered with water from the raging
Kansas river yesterday afternoon,
fire broke out and there was no
means with which to fight il.
Burning buildings foated from
their foundations and set FIRE to
others, until the confagration be-
came general. The citizens re-
naming in the city were and are
cut off from rescue by the swift
flood current which prevents the
passage of boats.
Thirty-five thousand persons are
homeless as a result of the flooded
rivers of Kansas, Nebraska, Mis-.
souri, and Iowa, while the property
loss already reaches millions of
dollars and the rapidly rising
streams will make it go still higher. |
The total area covered by high |
waters is hundreds of square miles
from Kansas City to Des Moines, Ia.

All the pupils who have not al
ready gone home will leave tonight
and tomorrow and by tomorrow
night all will be gone and the col
lege will be abandoned This has
been the most successful year in
the history of the institution and
the enrolment has been larger than
any previous year. Profs. Smith,
and Jordan were well
liked by all the pupils and will al
ways be kept in remembrance for
the kindness shown the pupils while
here. This has been the most sue
cessful year for athletics and the
baseball team this year was the
best the college ever had. Much
sorrow has been shown by some of
the pupils on having to leave their
comrades and nearly all expect to
come back next year and assist in
making it a greater session than
this one. All the graduates are
nice, bright young ladies and gen.
tlemen and the best wishes Of the |
faculty and their comrades in |
school will accompany them to their |
homes.
Prof. Kuykendall has been on
the sick list the past two weeks and
unable to take very large part
in the commencement exercises, the
other members of the faculty have
maraged everything accurately.
Many visitors have been here
during the commencement exercises
and have all been highly enter
tanned by the faculty and students.

with which the silk of the stripes were
sewed was chosen with care, and the
forty-five stars embroidered on their
field cost 81 each. When the flag was
finished, Miss Costeau placed it in a
satin box and sent it to the president
with best wishes and the hope that he
might find it available for his personal
use Il worked on my poor flag so
hard" said Miss Costeau, land thought,
of course, he would take it. I wrote
that 1 was French girl, but had lived
under the Stars and Stripes long
enough to love the flag and the noble
institutions it represented. Then sent
it away, but it came right back. A
note from his secretary said he could
not accept it. He says it's rule that
he can't accept presents. But I read
that he takes other things. A paper
last night said he took railroad passes
and champagne. Why not then, my
flag? 1t is because the people who
gave him the other things were rich
and he did not wish to honor poor
girl who only wanted to show her pa
triotism?"

McBee afterward turned informer
But that did not end the story. After
Mr.. Tillman went to the United States
senate, Bunch McBee lost his job with
the Southern railroad. 1t was given
out generally that the reason OF his
dismissal was because he was objec-
tionable to Senator Tillman. Later
McBee secured position with the Sea-
board Air Line, and in the course OF
time he lost this position also. There
has been no explanation as to the rea-
son of the loss of this last named po-
sition: but it is not improbable that
the cause is also traceable to the IA
nous free pass No. !, and If this be
true, as we do not doubt, it occurs to
us that it would be very interesting to
know just what influence Senator Till
man may have brought to bear on
these two big railroad corporations In
order to make them parties to his re-
venge. Was it because Of something
he was to do for them in case they ac-
quiesced, or because Of something he
threatened to do in case they declined
to acquisece? The subject is interest
ing in the extreme; but Of course, there
is no possibility of further light ex-
cept as the result Of some accident like
that which disclosed the senator's pos
session of the free passes over the
Burlington and Quincy and other rail-
roads.

PICNIC AT BETHANY.

There were four or five hundred
people at the educational rally at the
Presbyterial High school last Satur-
day, and the people enjoyed themselves
thoroughly listening to good music and
good speeches and in eating the good
things of that hospitable section.
The exercises Of the day were open
ed with prayer by Rev. Mr.. Jeffcoat.
Prof. j. d. Huggins presided, and there
were speeches by Congressman D. E.
Finley, Representative ]. E. Beam
guard, and Prof. Clapp. All Of the
speeches were entertaining and in
structive.
Music was furnished by the King 8
Mountain cornet band, and dinner
was served in family groups to which
all strangers were invited. The day
was spent most pleasantly and profit
ably.
The new school building. which Is
nearly completed, Is a commodious and
roomy structure, and is ready for occu-
pancy, except for a few finishing
touches on the inside. Dormitory
accommodations have been provided
for pupils from a distance, and the
prospects for a good opening seems to
be quite encouraging.
It was understood on Saturday that
the picnic held on that day was only
the first of a series Of much larger
gatherings to be held from time to
time in the future. '.'.f

Benet Instead of Townsend.

Columbia special of Saturday to
Greenville News: Gov. Hayward this
morning commissioned former Judge
w. c. Benet as a special judge to hold
court at Kershaw. for the week begin
ming Monday. The appointment Is made
because of the sickness Of Judge q. w.
Gage, who is the regular circuit judge.
Two weeks ago, Chief Justice Pope ap-
pointed Judge D. A. Townsend to pre-
side at the Kershaw and Lexington
courts. and the criminal business OF
Kershaw has been wound up with
Judge Townsend presiding. The Fair
field court opens on September q. how
ever, and Judge Townsend is due there
OH that date. this being his regular
sitting. Today Col. U. R. Brooks, clerk
of the supreme court, received letter
from Chief Justice Pope. asking him to
ascertain whether or not Judge Benet
would accept the appointment to sue
ceed Judge Townsend. Judge Benet
has accepted and the appointment was
accordingly made. This means that
Judge Benet will hold the Lexington
court instead of Judge Townsend, at
which ]. H. Tillman will be tried.

THE free pass sometimes serves 9TH
er than transportation purposes. Af-
ter taking a meal in an Indiana res
taurant the other day, Senator Albert
]. Beveridge discovered that he had
no money, and sought to bolster up his
credit by announcing his name. The
clerk stated that Senator Beveridge"
had beaten the place before and threat
ened to call the police. The proprie-
tor was appealed to and he also was
in doubt as to the identity Of the mon
eyless customer. Finally the senator
pulled out a bunch of free railroad
passes and made clear the fact that he
was the real and only Wasp of the
Wabash" Senator Beveridge, how
ever, is not on record as having ever
charged that all other people except
himself could be bought with free
passes.

KING Edward, of England, is now
conceded to be the most popular mon
arch of Europe. He is putting in his
time making it pleasant for the COM
mon people. and using his political in
fluence in behalf of peace. A year or
two ago the royal family Of Great Brit
ain, and in fact all that was English,
was very unpopular throughout Eu-
rope: but now it is said that King Ed
ward has even conquered the Irish
with his kindness, and almost every
country of Continental Europe is re-
sounding with his praise. Among the
stories. told of the king during his re-
cent visit to Austria is one to the eff
feet that while rolling along the
road in his automobile, he came up
with an old peasant woman bending
under a load of fuel wood. He stopped
his automobile took the woman in and
carried her to her destination. When
he set her down he gave her gold
piece. This is only one Of hundreds
of similar stories that are being told of
the kind hearted king, and there is
no wonder at his growing popularity
either at home or abroad.

SAM JONES HAS ANOTHER F'IdHT.-
Rev. Sam P. Jones and Postmaster
Walter Akerman had a fist fight on
Bank block in Cartersville, Ca, yes
terday morning, says a dispatch to the
Atlanta Journal.
The difficulty arose over remarks
made by Mr.. Jones at his tabernacle
during his meeting.
Mr.. Jones denounced Akerman for
selling wine and threatened to report
him to President Roosevelt if he did
not stop.
Mr.. Jones said he had rather have a
decent Negro to hand out his mail
than to have a white man for post
master who was engaged in dealing
out damnation to the boys and poor
Negroes in this community.
Mr.. Jones called at the postoffice this
morning and asked Mr.. Akerman If he
would stop selling wine. Akerman
agreed to do so except when needed
for medicinal purposes.
Later on Mr.. Alderman met Mr..
Jones and told him he understood that
he called him a dirty dog" and other
names, which he did not propose to put
up with.
With these words Mr.. Alderman hit
Mr.. Jones in the mouth. Mr.. Jones re-
turned the lick on Akerman's eye.
Friends interfered and separated
them. Akerman, when seen by the
Journal correspondent, said that Jones
had said more about him than he
could stand.
Mr.. Jones denies that he called
Alderman a dirty dog. He said that his
words at the tabernacle were as fol-
lows:
will we good people of Cartersville
let these dirty dogs sell their wine
from year to year and ruin our child
REM"
When asked if he was hurt, Mr..
Jones replied that the only thing
about him that was sore was his fist

THE daily papers Of this morning
contain the information that Chairman
c. w. Garris. of the board of railroad
commissioners, has engaged Colonel j.
H. Averill as an expert to examine the
railroad trestles between Camden and
Blacksburg. The statement is that
Colonel Averil's fee will be 500 and
Mr.. Garris will pay the amount out OF
his own pocket because there is no
available appropriation. We see no
harm in the proposed examination;
but beg to suggest the pity Of it's not
having been made several weeks ago.
An examination by Mr.. Garris himself
even, would have been better than no
examination at all.
