Arent Charleston Navy Yard.

A Washington special says: During
the debate on the naval appropriation
bill Representative Dayton, OF West
Virginia, a member of the naval com.
mittee, explained why no provision ap-
peared in the bill for the Charleston
navy yard. He sad the Charleston
ward originated in the senate and not
with the navy department; that the
house had never favored or made an
appropriation for that yard; that they
were opposed to 1t.
Mr.. Legare, however, is making a
quiet fight for the Charleston appro'
priation and will at the proper time
offer an amendment to the bill now un-
der discussion. 1t is very doubtful II
this amendment will pass the house,
inasmuch as these appropriations have
always been put on by the senate. Mr..
Legare wishes, however, to establish a
precedent.
Senator Tillman, backed by the SEN
ate, will make a fight similar to that
he made last year. He expects to sue
ceed, as the senate committee has no
intention of abandoning the Charleston
ward, in view of the great progress
made in the work, in spite OF the de-
lays evidently encouraged by the navy
department.

Who Pays the Piper.

Free advertising, in the generally ac-
cepted sense Of that term, says the
Columbus Citizen, is not the most de-
sirable kind; but it is nevertheless
fact that the great bulk of paid news
paper advertising costs the advertiser
nothing. That is to say, it indirectly
returns to him not only the amount in
vested, but profit in which the whole
community shares.
The bulk of newspaper advertising
is placed by merchants. The money it
costs is paid almost wholly in salaries
and incidentals to individuals in the
community in which the advertiser re-
sides. so that his return is not wholly
from the general trade he seeks, but
also the injection Of this amount of
money into the trade of his community,
with the result Of enlarging it, perpet-
uating it and multiplying its resources
in all forms of industry.
The merchant feels the pulse of pros
porous or adverse conditions more DEL
icatcly than almost any other member
Of the community. Newspapers pay
by far the larger portion of expenses
in building up the community. Their
investment is not nearly as great in
machinery, stock and other forms OF
tangible property as in brains and
Drawn.
That is the reason why money spent
with them by local merchants brings
two-fcld returns in the present and the
future.
The newspaper is an institution
working for the welfare Of the COM
nunity in both material AND other re-
spects, In reality makes paid adve-tis'
ing free.
The intelligent advertising patron OF
such a newspaper contributes to the
happiness ard prosperity of the COM
munity at the same time he promotes
his own business interests in the pres
ent and lays the foundation for great
or profits and usefulness in the future

Sensational Charge Against capers.
A Columbia special says: Ellery NJ.
Brayton, leader of the lily whl.e fac
ton of the republican party in South
Carolina, in a. card to newspaper,
makes sensational charges against Ma
tional Committeeman John G. Capers.
After commenting upon the manner
in which Mr.. Capers dominated the pro-
ceedings of the recent meeting of the
republican state executive committee,
of which he was neither member nor
the holder of proxy, Mr.. Brayton,
among other things, says:
Il am informed and beneve from
creditable testimony, that Mr.. Capers
was present and implicated in the
lynching of three colored men in Lex
ington county, South Carolina, about
twelve years ago. That this is vital
and disqualifying accusation, if true
against any one seeking to control the
acton o. the republican party is mani
fest. No argument or appeal can be
needed to cause the republicans to
spurn and repudiate the leadership OF
Others may condone and even ap-
prove OF this fast-threatening evil, but
no one would believe that the race
which is the victim of this barbarity
would entrust its political interests in
the keeping of g! lyncher.
II could say much as to the manner
in which Mr.. Capers is believed to
have traf1cked with the federal Offices
in this state, his utter failure % do
anything to build up the party, and by
methods which he expects to control
the convention, but these are matters
that can wait ior another opportunity.
when the administration sees Mr..
Ca;ers in close fellowship with Chair
man Doss whom he has been denounc-
ing. and with whom he said his self
respect would not allow him to confer
as a member of the sub. committee ap-
pointed to agree upon candidate for
collector of customs (neither one OF
them having retracted the vile things
said of each other) and take note OF
the charges and complaints against
him, he will find himself discarded.
He cannot stand an investigation and
will not seek vindication.
"My first insight into the ingrained
duplicity of Mr.. Capers was at the con-
gressional district convention, held at
Orangeburg last summer, when to my
establishment he proclaimed himself
in a set speech as the champion OF the
negro, and boasted how, at the confer
ence with the sub-executive commit
tee he voted on every ballot for DR..
Crum for collector of customs, and
taunted Chairman Deas with having
deserted his race and prevented DR..
Crum's selection-for not ten days be-
fore heard him declare that under no
circumstances would he support a ne
gro Tor that Office"

be familiar with its interior is a liberal

time Of Ferdinand and Isabella, each

In Spain the Government spends hun
Grcds Of thousands Of dollars annually
to preserve Its Gothic structures ana

tries little is done il that direction.
There is in Spain no expenditures too

One wishes when in Toledo. said
the speaker, to be immortal and live
for eternity, so as to be able to learn
all the marvellous art and history and
beauty that are bound up in its walls.
The heart Of Spain, however, is in Ma
