The work on the new Court House
has progressed steadily from the day
ground was broken for the founda-
ton and a stage has now been reach
ed that enables one to form a fairly
correct idea Of the character Of the
building Sumter County is to have
for a Court House. 1t will be, when
completed, one Of the most imposing
public buildings in the State and will
be without doubt the handsomest
county Court House in South Caro-
lima. And best Of all, everything about
it will be first class, as no cheap or
shoddy material or workmanship is
permitted.

ly the entire anti-sewerage vote was
polled. The polls closed at o'clock,
and, being counted, showed the fol-
lowing result: Yes, 21S; No, II.

French Reply to Proposition Made
by the Germans
CONTROL OF MOROCCAN POLICE
French Document Is q Serious Effort
Towards Conciliation-Compr
is Taking Shape Along Lines Sug.
gested by Mr.. White. the American
Delegate

Algeciras, Spain, February 17.-An
important step forward has been
made in the main Franco-German
controversy over the question OF the
control of Moroccan police
Last night NJ. Revolt. the ranking
French delegate, sought Herr Won
Radowitz, the German envoy, and de-
livered to him a written response to
the proposition the Germans had pre-
viously submitted. Secrecy Is main
document, but it is known to be q
serious effort towards conciliation.
Henry White, the head of the Amer
lean delegation, said in al interview:
The communications that passed
between France and Germany were in
no sense proposals, or even notes. They
were Aides memoire, giving with pre-
c1sion the points of view ef the two
countries, but may undoubtedly be
considered an important step for
ward
1t is understood that the French
reply contained only ten lines, and was
without heading or signature. AL
though little Of a concrete character
has resulted from this exchange of
views, there is good reason to believe
it has made possible a compromise.
and that this is already taking shape
along lines which Mr.. White is un-
derstood to have suggested. It was on
Mr.. Whites proposal that the con-
ference today exempted merchant
training ships not engaged in the for
malities opposed by the new customs
regulations

would be good southern men 10 pur
Up for the presidency, has the follow
ing in regard TO DR.. Edwin A. Alder
man. who Is a native of Wilmington: !:
DR.. Edwin A. Alderman, native of
Wilmington North Carolina, has been
proposed by the Hartford Courant as
suitable man for the democrats TO
nominate for president in 1908. North
Carolina hasn't had a president since
Johnson and there is no reason why
the country should not be blessed with
an executive from the most democratic
commonwealth in the republic. even
If he does now reside in the state that
is the mother Of presidents" Here
is The Courant'S editorial:
"' Colonel Harvey's suggestion about
trying their luck in 1908 with a schol-
ra find favor in the eyes of the demo-
cratic brethren, they are by no means
shut up to Colonel Harvey's nominee
DR.. Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton.
DR.. Elliott, of Harvard, is little 100
old perhaps, but there's Dr. Henry
Wade Rogers, dean of the Yale law
school, not yet SO, and young for his
age. He isn't a university president
now, but he was. And there's Or.
Edwin Anderson Alderman, president
of the University of Virginia, rot We,
45 and one of the incest democrats )iv-
ing. Dr. Rogers is New Yorker by
birth; DR.. Alderman is a North Caro-
linian. ,"
'Dr. Alderman was born a democrat
In a city where a mans politics and
his religion are as Interchangeable as
the laws of the Medes and Persians.
Whether in Wilmington, in Chapel
Hill, in New Orleans, or Charlottes-
vile. he has been a true democrat,
voting the ticket as it was printed, /"
and. therefore, always voting right,
and showing that he was peculiarly
qualified to be chosen as the head Of
the university established by the fore
most statesman the world has known.
It would be like a fresh baptism Of
JeffersOnian de -1Ocracy to nominate
and elect the next democratic presi-
dent from Monticello. who carries the
keys of the University of Virginia. He
would maintain the digEity Of the
college president, but he wouldn't
walk on stills at the White house and
forget the boys in the trenches; he
wouldn't carry a Big Stick but would
lean on the staff of Jefferson; he
would maintain the Monroe doctrine
as Monroe promulgated it, after JEFF
fersOn had suggested it; and he would
take more interest in educating the
children in the United States proper
than in putting education into The
naked Filipino at the point of a gun ."
