A DESIGNING Doctor.

The Sydney Bulletin tells of n mo-
toring doctor who ran into and cap
sized n pedestrian. lie looked behind
him and, seeing the man still prone,
made n circuit and ran back, intending
to stop beside and help him. But the
motor shot n yard or two beyond the
mark and hit thcm man again just as he
was getting up. The doctor turned his
car once more and was cautiously
stealing near to the PROSTATE sufferer
when an excited spectator rushed from
the sidewalk and, shaking the victim,
exclaimed: Look out! He's coming
at you AGAIN. Whercupon the man
scrambled up and started to run.

The family name Of the Stuarts was
originally, ns Mr.. Bayley observes,
Fitzalan. The original Walter Fitz-
alan, brother of the ancestor of the
dukes Of Norfolk. was lord high stew
ard of Scotland, and from this cir
cuinstance his branch Of the family
appears to have adopted the name of
Stewart. When the change began is
not certain, but 1t was probably not
later than the time OF Alexander, the
great-grandson OF Walter Fitzalan, for
both his sons-Jnmes, the grandfather
of Robert III. and all the Scottish Stew

Lord Darnlcy-appear to have borne
the name of Stewart. - Notes and

Special to The Spartanburg Herald:


Special to The Spartanburg Herald:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 27th.-
Col. N. b. Dial, President of the Wares
Shoals Manufacturing Company, which
is just finishing one of the finest cotton
mills in the South at Wares Shoals, S.
c., was in the city yesterday, return
ing from the North, where he has been
on a business trip in connection with
his manufacturing interests. Col. Dial
Is also President of the Enterprise
Bank of Laurens, of which city he is a
resident.
In speaking of the plant of the Wares
Shoals Manufacturing Company, Col.
Dial stated that the mill would be
ready for business in about 60 days.
The plant is u $500, 600. 90 one, and
while New Jersey capital is largely in
terested in it, there are 212 stockhold-
ers in South Carolina, and a very large
part of the stock is therefore local.
While he is modest about his success in
promoting the enterprise, it is probably
a fact that Mr.. Dial raised more money
for this plant than was ever before got
up by n man in South Carolina in
connection with a single industry. He
is well known as one of the best bust
ness men in South Carolina and his
reputation as such is not unknown in
financial circles outside the State.
Besides his interest in connection
with the Wares Shoals Company, Col.
Dial is President of another Company,
which will shortly develop the water
power at Boyd's Mill, in Laurens
County, putting in alarge electric plant
for the purpose of developing power
which will be transmitted to the city of
Laurens, there to be utilized for va
rious purposes. He conferred with the
officials of the Southern Railway Com
pany here yesterday in regard to an ex-
tension of the spur track which has
been built from Barmores, near Honea
Path to the Wares Shoals mill; the ex-
tension being desired in connection with
the Boyd's Mill enterprise.

Soldiers to Guard Fair

Portland, Feb. 18th. h.-Plans for the organization of the Lewis and Clark Exposition Guards are now completed, and men tc form the guard are now being enlisted. Major c. E. McDon nell of Portland has been chosen chief of the guards, and he will be assisted by three other off cerS.
 The guard will consist 75 men selected by the com pany commanders from the mili- tary companies of Oregon. A height of five feet eight inches ts required. The command will wear military uniforms and carry loaned by the state military au- thorities. The strictest military discipline will be maintained.
 The band of seventy five men will be divided into three shifts, each commanded by an officer, and each shift will serve eight hours, the schedule being from 8 M. to 1 P. M; from 4P. M. to midnight, and from midnight to 8 A. M. The soldiers will be paid S1.5O per day, with free board and lodging. They will live in tents outside the grounds, in a fashion somewhat similar to that adopted at summer encamp ments. The guards will begin their duties about the middle of March, and their term of service will continue until the middle of November, @ month after the close of the Exposition.

The Largest State

Some idea of the state of Texas may be formed with the aid of a few statistics. Itsextreme length is 620 and it's breadth 765 miles, comprising 265, 760 square miles. It has 243 counties, 19, 800, 0C0 acres of improved farming land, and farm property of the value of S962, ,O00,000. The nomber of it's farms is 352, 100. It's popula tion is shown by the last census was 3,048. 710, being m point of numbers the sixth state in the Union.
 Those which exceed it are New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri and Illinois, whose az gaegate population is 3,656, 769. Yet their total area is only 262, 010 square miles. This is less by 3,770 square miles than Texas which would not be capitalized were Connecticut and Rhode Island thrown in. If the popu- lation of Texas were as great to the square mile as New York, it would be 49, 598, 22O, or nearly twice that of the five states

Hunts Primary Election Bill.

A measure having great merit
 is the bill introduced by Hon. C..
 W. P. Hunt, president of the
 council, to provide for party
 nominations of candidates for
 office by a direct vote of the peo-
 plea real primary election law.
 To quote from the printed act:
 "This statute shall be literally
 construed, so that the real will
 of the electors may not be de- feated by any informality or fail
 ure to comply with all the pro-
 visions of law in respect to either the giving of any notice or the conducting of the primary or certifying the results thereof"
 The act is made applicable to territory, county and city, but does not apply to special cleo tions to fill vacancies nor to the election of school district officers.
 If the bill becomes a law it will do away with nominating con- ventions and come as near giving a free and untrammeled expres- sion of public sentiment in the selection of candidates as it is possible to provide, as every electOr can vote for his choice of men whom he desires to see nom mated. The political trickery often practiced under the pres ent system, whereby a few men control and dictate party nomi- nations, would obviously be cut down to the minimum. The Sen tinel heartily endorses the bill, and in the interest of fair and clean politics we hope it will be enacted into law. Some of the main features of the act are given herewith:
 Section ,. Hereafter all can didateS for elective offices shall be nominated by primary held | in accordance with this act, or by nomination papers, signed | and filed as provided by existing statutes.
 Sec. 12. The polls at prima- ries shall be open-in cities from six o'clock iu the morning until | nine o'clock in the evening; in all other precincts from eight in the morning until six in the evening.
 Sec. IS. Theperson receiving the greatest number of votes at a primary as the candidate of a party for an office shall be the candidate of that party for such office, and his name as such can didate shall be placed on the off cial ballot at the following cleo ton.
 The act provides that county central committees shall be cho- sen in the same manner and at the same time that the candi- dates are.
 Primaries are to be held Ion the first Tuesday of September, 1906, and biennially thereafter for the nomination of all candi- dates to be voted for at the Mo- vember election. Other prima- ries to be held two weeks before election.
 Each signer of a nomination paper shall sign but one such paper for the same office, and shall declare that be intends to the candidate named therein; he shall add his resi- 1ence, with the street and num- Der, if any, and the date of sign ing.
 Expenses of primaries are to be borne by the city, county or territory, as the case may be. The Australian ballot system shall prevail, and provisions of Chapter z, Title 20, Statutes of 1901, so far as applicable, shall govern the preparation of the ,9llot Vacancies Occllrpino f.
