Properties.
Henry Spackman. of Philadelphia
was in Portland yesterday with Frank
L..Brown of San Francisco, in the in
terest Of a syndicate that plans to
invest millions in the development Of
the cement industry on the Pacific
Coast. Deposits Of cement in Oregon,
Washington and California are being
secured by the syndicate, which is
composed Of leading capitalists of the
East who expect to invest nearly
S., 900 900 in the properties.
Engineers will arrive on the Coast
this summer from the East to look
over the deposits and verify the fiat
tering reports that have been sent to
the men interested. Options have
been taken in many localities and as
soon as plans for the development of
the properties are approved by those
interested. plants will be erected for
the manufacture of cement.
Location Of the properties or the
works cannot be announced until ar
rangements for taking over the hold
ings by the Eastern syndicate are fully
perfected. Experts who were sent
here some time ago located promising
cement properties and it Is believed
that the ultimate investment by East
EN- capitalists will be limited only by
the possibilities of the industry.

EUROPE'S YOUNGEST KING AND HIS BRIDE

| healthy English girl, who Is nearly six
feet in height and weighs almost 200
pounds. She is said to be a court
beauty and is already popular In Spain
There are whispers that she was In
love with British nobleman, but that
King Edward insisted on her becoming
the wife of the Spanish king when the
state of that young mans heart was
made manifest. 1t is also related that
Ena wept on giving up her Protestant
faith for that OF SPANS king. There
are doubtless heartbreaks even under
royal purple. We have no right to as
sumo perhaps that there was such in
this case. for on the surface all the
royal woolng has gone as "merry as a
marriage bell"
There seems something of poetic JUS
tice in the fact that a Battenberg
should becomesa queen, for when Prin-
cess Beatrice married Henry of Bat
tenberg all the courts OF Europe
thought the alliance beneath her. Hen
rvs mother you know. was not royal.
Now that his child is to occupy a
throne. the other royalties do not quite
approve. By the way, Ena will be Off
cially known as Queen Victoria. May
she live up TO the name.
All those who enjoy k1ngly weddings
should make the most of the present
event, for 1t is not impossible at no
distant day the progress of the world
will take US past that stage.

TIME king Of Spain is to be mar
ried Perhaps several thousand
columns too much OF gush have
been printed about the affair,
yet 1t Is not without interest. The i'm
portance of the event does not inhere
in the young man himself. who seems
ordinary enough, but in his position
and in what he stands for. Nearly
everybody gets married at least once.
and nothing much Is said about the
matter, but everybody is not the SYM
boil OF a nation. Alfonso de bourbon
as an individual is q youth of fair edu-
cation. OF somewhat sporty proclivities
and of quite a few very human I'M
pulses withal. but Alfonso Kill, king
OF Spain and with a formidable array
of other more or less moribund titles.
is quite another thing. He Is the rep
resentative of some millions Of human
beings. and it Is on their account that
we consider him. Human brotherhood
is about the most conspicuous and I'M
portant fact In this our age, and Ii Is
because of our kindred feeling to the
people Of Spain, good and kindly for
the most part, that we take cognizance
of him who is their emblem Person
ally most OF US would prefer that the
king business were ended everywhere,
but each realm to its own taste.
Democracy to Conquer Nations.
Alfonso is the only Bourbon occupy
ing a throne in Europe. France got
rid Of that tribe some time ago. II
was not the family, however, against
which France was rebelling. but the
whole monarchist regime. She was no
more happy under Louis Philippe or
Napoleon the Little than she had been
under the old dynasty. What she want
Ell was republic. and she got it.
When people make up their minds
to have new deal in government they
generally manage to have their way.
1t Is about time for another revolution
of the wheel in the direction of re-
publicaniSm, and when 1t comes there
will be several more thrones 60 down
into the dust heap.
There are signs Of that sort in Rus
STA even now. Liberty does not go
backward. Man is to come to his own
and Is to govern himself In all climes
Democracy, not only In politics, but In
industry, is to conquer the nations.
The world is to be republican. Tradi-
tons, forms, institutions and all else
that stand In the way of individual
evolution and social brotherhood must
give way before the onward march Of
man. This will be true I'm Spain, let
US believe. - y ~, - everywhere

TO FINISH IS
NEAR AT HAND NOW
Battle of the Ballots on
Wednesday.
INTEREST IS GREAT IN SUMTER
And Result at the Polls May Be Sur
prising Large Registration in the
Countysand the Contest Will Insure
Full Vote In Primary.

The clash of contending hosts next
Wednesday will be the finale in the
most heated political contest waged in
many years, and here IN Americas as
throughout the state the greatest in
terest is manifested in the result of
this titanic battle of the ballots.
1t will be the supreme test; the close
of the heated campaign of more than a
year, and whatever the result at the
polls the people generally will be glad
that tits ended and peace restored.
Rut until the battle is fought, in
terest will not flag for a moment.
Here in Sumter the fight is between
Clark Howell and Hoke Smith, and the
friends of each will line up for the fray.
There are other candidates for guber-
Material honors, of course, but the fact
is recognized that, locally, the fight is
between these two only.
And the friends of each candidate
are dead certain of success,
The lines will be very closely drawn
and while each side is confident of
winning it is admitted that it will be
by narrow margin,
Almost equal In interest IS the con-
gressional race between Hon, E. B.
Lewis, our present popular and able
representative, and Hon. Dudley M.
Hughes. In this race, as in the other
each candidate has a strong backing
and the contest will be spirited.
Mr.. Lewis is very popular in Sumter
as throughout the district, and while
the opposition is perhaps stronger this
time than ever before his friends are
very confident of carrying the county.
And not only Sumter county, but
the district, by large vote.
Nearly two thousand white voters
are registered for the primary on We'd
nesday, and the intense interest mani
tested in the gubernatoriaI and con-
gressional contests insures full vote.
The polls will be opened it the city
and at all PRECINCTS.
Americas has witnessed many hot
elections, but for absolute strenuos1ty
that of next Wednesday will break
all previous records,
