A Letter from "SOge."

EDITOR The EAMBERG HERALD:-It is
with regret that your backwoods CORES
pondent announces that he will not be
able to begin series of sketches as prom
ised, on account of having been employed
by large planter, and has not had time
to consult some of the older citizens of
this section, being desirous of having tie
chronicles and chronologies as correct as
possible.| He promises, however, to fur
nish The Herald with several during the
late spring and summer, and in the inter
i'm, if the editor will give "Soge" corn
er, he will essay to write some "dots"
weekly, or enthusiastically at least, not
a la Frank Stanton, Bill Arp or Sarge
Plunket, but in his own peculiar style.
Of the scores of communications written
for your deservedly valuable paper, your
scribe has never used the selfish, egotisti-
cal, little personal pronoun "I", ego, and
only once the puny plural 1--WE" which he
has regretted more than once.
With the editors consent, your CORES
pondent will henceforth drop the peu-
name of S. O. Journer, and simply sign
himself SoGE.

Comptroller General.

Mr. J. S. J. Faust, Of Bambers. to Assist the
Comptroller General.
Mr.. J. S. J. Faust, of Bamberg, men,
Der of the ways and means committee Of
the house of representatives and until
recently cashier of bank at Denmark,
has been appointed a.member of the cleri-
cal staff of the comptroller general. On
account of the additional work imposed
upon the Office by the franchise tax law,
the legislature has given the comptroller
general 81, 400 for additional clerk hire.
Mr.. Jones yesterday announced his selec-
ton of Mr.. Faust as man suitable in
every way to assist him. This will not
REQUIRE the services of a clerk for the
entire year.
The Corporations are hurrying in their
reports in order to comply with the terms
of the franchise tax law, for the comp,
troller general has notified them plainly
that he will enforce the statute penalizing
delinquents. He is unable to say even
approximately what will be the revenue
from this franchise tax.
The legislature gave the comptroller
general little additional help this year
in the matter of visiting the counties to
inspect the books and vouchers and to
make annual settlements with the auditors
and treasurers. Heretofore the fund has
been entirely inadequate. The entire
appropriation was but $500 last year ano
in one county the expert accountants
were engaged three weeks.-The State.

COL. HASKELL WANTS A JOB.
Anxious to be on Railroad Commission if Rate
Bill Is Enacted.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Col. John C.
Haskell, of Columbia, accompanied by
Representative Lever, called at the White
House today to talk with the president
about the court to be appointed under the
Esch-T Townsend railroad rate bill, and
incidentally to present his candidacy for
a judgeship in that court to the president.
1t is a little early for candidates for
these places, for it is extremely doubtful
whether the bill will become law. The
president accorded Col. Haskell a very
warm reception and promised to bear
him in mind, if the appointments shall be
made.
In papers filed with the president Col.
Haskell says that he is brother-in-]aw of
Wade Hampton, and was warm per.
sonal friend of ex- Governor Hugh Thomp-
son, who was friend of Mr.. Roosevelt.

Mr.. ClOy Not Guilty.

While it is to be regretted that one of
Aiken's representatives in the house
should be the subject of Mr.. LaFftte's
severe abuse, the people of Aiken know
that in John Cloy there is no wrong, and
feel satisfied his conduct under the cir
cumstances must have commended itself
t, the members of the house. Since the
opening of the session the members have
become acquainted with Mr.. LaFitte and
no doubt placed the proper value upon
his statements. We cannot believe that
Solicitor Davis and John Cloy were
'railroading Legislation" through the
house to the detriment of Bamberg county.
Nor do We believe that Cloy would at
tempt to "gag" Mr.. Laftte, because Cloy
like all the other members of the house
must know by this time that no living
power could gag" him.-Aiken Journal
and Review.
