WOULD HURT HEARsr's RooM

All sorts of reports, real, fancifuI
and even ludicrous, emana'e rapidly
from Atlanta, just now, as heretofore,
the political vortex. At present the
Graves gubernatorial boom occupies
the front of the stage, and various are
the pre- dictions made as regards the
outcome
The following Atlantagram to the
Savannah Press is interesting reading
just now, If nothing more:
1t is believed in Atlanta that power
full pressure will be brought to keep
Mr. John Temple Graves from making
the race for governor.
cit is understood that Mr.. Graves is
in Washington, and while there be will
meet William Randolph Hearst and
some of Mr. Hearst's friends. Georgia
men of very great political strength
and sagacity, who are for Hears are in
Washington at the same time
Persons who wish to get line on
events before they happen can do lit
tie figuring on their own account
''Mr. Graves is for Hearst. So is the
Atlanta News, of which Mr. Graves i.
editor. So is Charles Daniel, manager
of The News. So is v alter P. An
drews, president of The News. Mr.
Graves and Mr. Daniel and Mr. An
drews and Mr. Hearst will all be to
gether in Washington this week
"Georgians who favor Hearst and
oppose the Graves movement are also
in Washington to meet Mr.. Hearst
eff Graves. who is for Hearst, rams
against Terrell what will become o.
the Hearst movement? Will Terrell
friends support Hearst and oppose
Graves? Some of Terrell's stronges
supporters are for Hearst. There ha.
been a very carefully laid plan to carry
the state for Hearst.
cit becomes apparent that the situa
tion would be embarrassing when i
developed.
SIT is believe that very powerful
influences are going to push the Hears
movement and that majority of tn
delegates will be favorable TO him, bu
will go uninstructed.
$50 Mr.. Graves may be asked to sac
rifce his ambition on the altar @
Hearst in order to prevent friction be
tween the Hearst followers.
eff this Graves matter is settled i
: the way indicated it may be that a.
anti movement will deYeloI
and that the fight will be along tha
line. There are lot of people in Geol
gia who think Hearstism is as much
Q folly as Bryanism, and they may ne
= be willing to keep quiet.
eff the proposition Is made to Colt
mel Graves to abandon the race for th
goVernorship and let the Hearst peopl
. unite, and if he accepts it, then
strong fight may be looked for frol
the old Cleveland wing of the party.
"The action of the conference
g Hearst's friends in Washington will
awaited with decided interest"

The story of the Huzza policy
is told, not because it is a case of
rare ocCurance-The Mutual Bene

by any other company.

ment Life plan.
After paying only lwo annual

Mr.. Huzza.
In 1873 the Company lost trace

Semi. Annual Celebration by the
Euphemian Society.

Euphemian Society.
Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
DUE WEST, Feb. 24.-This occasion
offered delightful evening to the pub
lie. AS several of the young men TAX
ing part are from York county, we
drop THE ENQUIRER line telling how
nicely they did. This was the thirty
seventh semi-annual celebration Of the
Euphemian Literary society. The ex-
ercises consisted of declamations, ora
tions, a debate and music.
Mr.. N. M. McDill of Hickory Grove
occupied the presidents chair, and in
a most happy way welcomed the large
audience to participate in the literary
festivities of the occasion. He then
fittingly introduced the speakers of the
evening.
The debate called out more interest
than any other feature of the evening.
The subject was, Resolved, That the
Trades now offer a Greater Field of
Usefulness than the Professions.''
OF the four young men contesting for
the decision, Mr.. ]. A. Jenkins Of York
Vile was the senior debater, the neg
ative. His colleague was Mr.. A. M.
Haddon of Virginia. Both of these
young men distinguished themselves
and won the debate. The discussion
was one Of present interest and was
followed with close attention through
out. Both sides acquitted themselves
admirably. 1t will be pleasure to
Mr.. Jenkins's friends and relatives in
Yorkville to know that his class work
is of high order. R.

THERE has been quite an amusing
little spat between the Anderson Daily
Mail and the Columbia State, on ac-
count of a certain well-known weak
ness of our most excellent and highly
esteemed daily contemporary at the
capital.
Some days ago the State printed a
squib like this:
1.-The State feels somewhat respons-
ible for the new department OF COM
merce and immigration that has been
created by the legislature. This was
perhaps the first newspaper In South
Carolina to advocate the establishment
of such a department.
While other newspapers were re-
flecting on the part that had been play
ed by the leaders Of progressive
thought in the state for many years
past, even prior to the establishment
of the State and especially on the for
chile arguments of Mr.. A. j. Mathfeson'
the broad minded Scotchman Of Marl-
boro during the past few months, the
Anderson Mail, one Of the most un-
pretentious; but at the same time one
Of the brightest little dailies in the
country. provoked general laughter
with the following appropriate par
able, which was printed directly under
meath the paragraph printed above:
"One time there was a woodpecker
It flew into a dead tree one day and
commenced pecking and pecking away
with all it's might. By and by wind
storm came along and blew the tree
over, but the woodpecker believed as
long as it lived that 1t pecked that tree
down.
Then the State almost too grieved
for utterance. came out in a column of
chiding for the Mail because Of Its
failure to appreciate the distinguished
notice it had received from the State
from time to time, and trying to apol-
ogize for the attention it had given the
irresistible news and editorial columns
of it's Anderson contemporary.
Now the Mail comes back with a half
column of good natured raillery, in
which it regrets that it failed to keep
it's humor to itself, and promises to
be good in the future, Notwithstanding
the effect of the serious manner in
which the State takes itself on its ris-
ib!es.
Understanding, as we think we do,
the States weaknesses as we'll as its
strength. and the fact that it is not
nearly so friendly toward THE ENoUI-
RER as THE ENQUIRER is toward it, we
are reluctant to tread on the dangerous
ground surrounding the subject under
discussion. However, we beg to sug-
gest to our contemporary that it would
do we'll not to make such pointed ref
erence to it's influence so frequently.
That it has influence and good in
fiuence there is no question: but there
are many of us who do not consider
it the whole thing or even the greater
part of it, and it should not assume
that we are not all amused at some of
the funny claims it sometimes makes,
Just because we fail to speak out as
the Mail did.
