$ The Southern Reporter, a weekly
newspaper publisbed in Chsrleston,
prints long letter from E.M. Bray
ton, Of this city, in which bitter
attack is made upon United States
District Attorney John G.. Capers.
In the course of his letter Mr.. Bray.
ton reiterates all of the charges
against Capt. Capers; which were
made some time time ago by Deas,
of Darlington, and he appeals to
the Republicans of the State to
throw off the yoke which Capt.
Capers has placed upon them. His
protest is primarily against the plan
to hold the State Republican conven-
tion on February "a. He alleges
that Capt. Capers was instrumental
in bringing about this decision,
meeting with the State Executive
Committee and addressing its mem
bers several times, although he was
not member of the body. In con.
clusion, Mr.. Brayton has something
to say of the connection of Capt.
Capers with the Crum appointment,
which will prove of considerable
local interest. He says:
81 had little personal acquaintance
with Mr.. Capers upon his introduce
tion to Republican politics. Since
leaving the State | do not remember
seeing him here except during the
Democratic primary, when he was
the political manager for Gen. nj. G.
Butler for United States Senator.
"My first insight into theingrained
duplicity of Mr.. Capers was at the
Congressional District Convention,
held at Orangeburg last summer,
when to my astonishment he pro-
claimed himself in set speech as the
champion of the negro and boasted
how at the conference with the sub
executive committee he voted at
every ballot for Dr. Crum for Collec-
tor of Customs, and taunted Chair
man Deas with having deserted his
race and prevented DR.. Crum's selec-
ton; for not ten days before / heard
him declare that under no circum-
stances would he support negro for
that office. ."-Columbia Record.

A Monstrous SwindIe.

Columbia, February 12.-The sensa-
tion of the session came Monday
when the Legislature received the
report of the joint commission ap-
pointed last year to investigate the com
pletion of the State House. The in
vestigation was ordered because of the
minority report of Senator j. Q Mar.
shall, member of the original State
House commission, who had all along
protested, though in vain, that the work
was not properly done. The report is
too long for incorporation in this letter
and is sufficient to say that it condemns
unsparngly the plans and specifications
of Architect Frank p. Milburn and the
work of the contractors, McIlvain Unke
fer & Co. Mr.. Milburn was employed
to see that the work was properly done
and it was upon his recommendation
that the commission accepted the job or
behalf of the State. The investigating
committee says: eve feel that what
we have reported, and the tcstin ony
taken, reveals dark picture, it is true
but nothing short of an actual inspection
of the work can convey an adequate idea
of this monstrous swindle of which the
State is the victim"

Baltimore Solid Again.

Baltimore, February 15.-That this
city is gradually resuming normal condi-
tions is shown by the fact that all tho
banks have established temporary quar-
ters and are well supplied with funds.
The vaults of all the national banks have
been opened and the contents found un-
damaged. The municipal authorities
have decided to suspend for the time the
collection of taxes and water rents, as
the January collections will meet the
requirements for long time. The in
suranco agents say Sl0,000,000 have al
ready been paid to policy holders and
many millions more are on deposit ready
to be paid after partial adjustments have
been made. At a conference to-day be-
tween the mayor and citizens committee
it was decided that no call will be made
for outside help to relieve the situation.
If necessary the municipality will float a
loan later.

The Love 81 God.

More than any other affection,
motber-loye has always had tba,
beautiful qualits that knows our
needs before our lips or looks can
utter them Ear more tender and
sweet is this silent comprehension in
the heart of God. The child ir
trouble has only TO reach out it's
hands toward the mother for her to
come aud lift it up, and we have onl,
to- look towards Him 10 feel tht.
tender and strong olasping of the
everlasting arms. The child need
not cry aloud. 1t only sobs out its
want with its head hidden in its
mothers neck and that is all we
need TO do when wo are stricken
and borne down with misery and
pain. The child does not need to be
constantly beseeching the mother to
care for it. 1t has only to trust aud
obey, and the care is one of the
things in life that never faileth. The
child has no need to strain or strug-
gle and cling in order to keep within
the mothers arms. 1t is the strength
in the arms and not the strength in
the clinging that keeps the little one
from falling In sickness the mother
needs no stimulating sense Of duty,
no payment such as we give the
hired nurse or servant, to keep he,
watchful ever by the bed of pain. SO
it is in the night hours when we are
alone that we come especially to
know that the Eye that watches us
never slumbers nor sleeps, and that
even as a mother comforteth are the
comforted of God. Do we take the
satisfaction of this comfort, remem-
bering those beautiful words:
"That the little babes that suffer,
Toss and cry and cannot rest,
Are the ones tho tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best?
So when we are weak and wanting,
BY our pain bowed down, distressed,
Then it is that Gods great patience
Holds us closest, loves us best"

"An Unwise Measure"

A joint resolution to submit the ques-
ton OF biennial sessions of the Legisla-
ture TO vote of the people has passed
the House. 1t passed the Senate at the
last session. l provides that after the
annual session of 1906 the General AS
sembly shall meet every second year.
There never was measure adopted by
any Legislature so devoid of reason.
Some person said that the State would
save $4,000 every other year il the Leg
islature did not meet annually, and
other unthiDking men TOOK up the cry.
Even the Governor favored the change
in his message. He bases his opinion
upon the ground of economy, but when
the constitution is amended, if it ia
changed, he will be astonished at him
self for ever thinking of such thing.
The day after the resolution passed
the House Senator Sheppard introduced
q concurrent resolution in the Senate to
submit to the judiciary committee of
the two Houses the question of what
other changes in the constitution will be

The Body The Home OF the Soul.

When his age was eighty years,
John Quincy Adams was met on the
streets of Boston by an old friend,
who, taking his trembling hand, said,
"Good morning! And how is John
Quincy Adams to-day ?" "Thank
YOU" the ex.Presdent replied.
John Quincy Adams himself is quite
well, sir. But the house in which he
lives is becoming dilapidated. 1t
is tottering upon it's foundation.
Time and seasons have nearly de.
stroyed it. It's roof is pretty well
worn out. It's walls are much
shattered, and it trembles with
every wind. The old tenement is
becoming almost uninhabtable, and
/ think John Quincy Adams will
have to move out of it soon." A
short time after this interview, the
venerable ex.President was seized
with paralytic stroke in the House
of Representatives, and his last
words were: "This is the last OF
earth. | am content"
