This Year.

The calling Of senatorial conven.
tion by the Populists makes some PEG.
pie think there are going to be three

There are two senatorial organiza-
tions dating back to 1900 when Q. B.

but they will work together and only
one nominee will be named. 1t is
Clay county's turn to have the NOM
ination, although W. 7. Harris Of
Solomon seems TO want the job Of be-
ing licked by Mr.. Brewer. MIR. Har'
ris' term as representative seems to
have given him liking for the state
house. Clay county may not agree
to the Dickinson plan which seems to
contemplate this county's having the
mobilization all the time.
In local affairs part Of the fusion
ticket is already agreed on. Nick
Robson wanted to run for sheriff but
was afraid. He has been made chair
man OF the central committee TO sat
isiy him. J. W. Howe, editor OF the
News. is secretary; J. H. Jenntss,

More Light On the Subject.

Mr.. E. F. Miller, Editor Of Freeman.
Dear Sir: Your piece that was copied
in "The Item' was the first that |
heard of anything being wrong with
the new Graded School building. 1
wish to say that there must be some
misunderstanding and am quite sure
that Mountains have been made Of
mole hills. All of the material pur-
chased of Us by the contractors Of the
Graded School building was of the
very finest that we could procure. so
much so that we were forced to charge
from S2.5o to $500 per NJ. more than
we have charged any one else in Sum-
ter. Even the material bought through
Mr.. j. W. McKiever was of the best
No. yellow pine, some Of which he
was so rigid in his inspection that we
could not furnish it, even though he
was willing to pay us $500 per NJ.
and this he had to procure elsewhere.
In all buildings there is obliged to be
some defects, but if the contractors
have been as particular in their selec-
tion of all the material for the build
ing as they have been with Us they
have the finest building in Sumter.
Though we have not seen the work
I am quite sure that the contractors
did the best they could.

MR.. HAYS TRIUMPH.
The Contestants Agree the Fight
ing Ground will! be Confined to
Manchuria and C0rea.
Iapan's Attitude.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Secretary
hay has added another to his long
list of diplomatic triumphs and the
United States is once more enabled
by his diplomacy to head the nations
in concurrent effort to preserve the
integrity of China. Mr.. Hays note
of Feb. 10 to Russia and Japan urging
them to con6ne hostilities within as
small an area as possible and to re-
spect the neutrality and administra-
tive entity of China will be accepted
by Russia, rs we'll as by Japan, and
all the nations will join the Wash
ington government in inviting the
combatants to agree to the PROPOSE
tion.
M. Jusserand, the French ambas-
sador, called upon Secretary Hay at
his residence today officially to in.
form him of frances acceptance and
inferentially it is known that Russia's
acquiescence will be communicated
very soon. At the Russian embassy
tonight no intimation had been re-
ceived of the governments probable
answer to Secretary Hays note. but
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor will inform Secretary Hay as soon
as st. Petersburg advises him.
The London government, it is ex-
pected, will not be inclined further to
inquire as to the details of the propo-
sition. It has been known for several
days that England adhered to the
principle.
The formal acceptance of the other
powers it is expected will follow rap
idly but the success of the PROPOSE
tion is assured by the decision of Rus
sia and Japan to agree to it.

The granite quarries in Fairfield
county have been forced to shut down
as result of the Baltimore fire. The
VIM ooro Granite Co.. had the con-
tract for furnishing the granite for
the new Custom House which was in
the burned district.
Secretary Hays proposition that
hostilities between the Russians and
japanese be confined within certain
area, and that whatever the outcome
of the war Chinese territory shall be
preserved to China, has seemingly met
with the general assent Of the powers
of Europe. If neither Russia nor
Japan is to secure any territory, it is
to be wondered what the war is for
and why it should be waged at all.
Russia's worst enemies are not the
japanese. They are to be found in
Russian territory and paying unwilling
taxes to support the Russian govern
ment. It is this discontented element
that may prevent the czar from send
ing men and ships to the far east in
numbers sufficient to overrun the dis
puted territory in short while

The city of Charleston has entered

The incorporate language used by
the committee in its report on the
remodeling Of the State House at Co.
lumbia is somewhat unfortunate. If
in fact the work on the improvement
of the State House was of inferior
quality the committee has weakened
the force of its discovery by its sophie
moric defamation on the subject and
anyhow, the manner in which the
subject is handled will create suspic-
ion in some minds that there is some
thing in the matter besides an impair
tial investigation. .-Spartanburg Jour
