SUCCEED HIMSELF.

--------------------
trymen as any Of his Illustrloug ptrde-
cessors.
The. name of Thomas Staples Martin,
of Virginia.
Mr.. President, he has been as often
the choice Of the people of virginia.
and he has had that choice expressed
In more ways than any other man who
ever has been chosen to his high Office
from the beginning Of the history of yir-
ginia down to tho present moment.
But as tho uses Of adversely may he
come sweet, SO Triumphant vindleation
may follow bitter asperslon and he has
worthly won his imperlshable renown
along the famous road that alone leads
to the stars "Sfc itir ad aatra per
aspern" And from that lofty elevation
his patriotism Is OF that resplendent
character that all men recognlze--that
all mon trist--that all men now revere.
He has no enemies to punsh--he is and
he will be the Representative Of the
State. the whole state and nothing but
the State. In the discharge Of his public
duties he will serve alike the humblest
and the most powerful Of those who OPP
posed him as quickly and as well as his
devoted followers. For with that In
nate nobeness of character. which Is
tho true secret of his real power, he has
blotted from his memory all sense OF
injury.
Malice domestice; foreign levy!
Nothing can hurt him further" for he
is now panopued through all his future
life with the confidence the trust and
the affection of the people of Virginia."

SALE OF ALCOHOL.

Quite number of appeals, says the
Columbia correspondent Of the News
and Courier, have been received by the
governor, by the commissioner of the
dispensary and others, asking If per-
mission cannot be gotten to sell alcohol,
brandies and the like for medical pur-
poses in prohibition counties. Today a
letter was referred to the attorney
generals office. asking If druggists In
Newberry might not sell alcohol with
which to bathe babies.
The law appears to be very plain on
this subject, and where brandies or
alcohol are sold as beverages 1t Is al
legged it is illegal to do SO. The trouble
is that the parent who buys alcohol
for his child might drink the alcohol
and rub the baby with the bottle, and
if druggists are allowed to sell alcohol
or brandy the lii elihood is that some
druggists will abuse the privilege. At
all events the attorney generals office
can find no way 20 help out the drug
gists who are sincere in their purpose
to serve the people and at the same
time differentiate those who would
abuse the privilege.
The law on the subject reads as fol-
lows:
Section 574. Licensed druggists con-
ducting drug stores, aid manufacture
ers of proprietary medicines are here
by authorized to purchase of dispen-
sers of the counties of their residence
liquors mot including
malt) for the purpose of compounding
tinctures and extracts that
carnot be used as a beverage. The dis
penser shall not charge licensed drug

IMPORTANT TO CANDIDATES.

The act requiring candidates to keep
itemized accounts of campaign eX-
penses has already been printed in
The Enquirer once: but because of the
importance of the matter it is deemed
advisable to print it again. All the
candidates are required to file state
ments of their expenses with the clerk
of the court and as some of these
statements may make more or less in
tere sting reading, ii is quite probable
that they may appear in the newspa-
pers. The act is as follows:
Section l. Be it enacted by the
general assembly of the state of
South Carolina, at or before every
political primary election held by any
political party, organization or as
SOciation, for the purpose Of choosing
candidates for office or the election
of delegates to conventions in this
state, any person who shall by threats
or other forms of intimidation, or
by the payment, delivery or promise
of money. or other articles of value.
procure, or offer, promise or enGeavOr

against any particular candidate in
such consideration offer to so vote,
shall be guilty of misdemeanor.

THERE was a little sensation at the
Charleston meeting Wednesday even
ing. Some of the papers Of last Mon
day explained how Mr.. Ragsdale en-
tered the race for attorney general only
because Mr.. Lyon had entered. 1t is
fact that Mr.. Lyon filed his pledge
first and Mr. Ragsdales pledge was
filed five minutes afterward. The
newspaper statement was that Mr..
Ragsdale had placed his pledge In the
hands of a friend who was instructed
not to file it unless assured Of the en-
trance of Mr.. Lyon into the race. This
was calculated to give the impression
that Mr. Lyon felt that the office prop
erly belonged to Col. Youmans and
that he would not have been willing to
oppose that gentleman. The Charles
ton Post Of Tuesday afternoon ex-
pressed an opinion that Mr.. Lyon was
state for the position of attorney gen.
eral and replying to this in his speech
Mr.. Ragsdale said things that gave
many of his hearers to understand that
he would not have been in the race
except for the entrance Of Mr.. Lyon.
Assuming that this was the impression
that Mr.. Ragsdale sought to make, Mr..
Lyon announced that If Mr.. Ragsdale
was agreeable they would both with
draw from the field and leave Col.
Youmans unopposed. But Mr.. Rags
dale took occasion to explain that he
had been misunderstood. What he
really did say was that If the office
were awarded on a basis of services
performed by the different candidates
in the past Gen. Youmans had a high
er claim than he or Mr.. Lyon ever
would have: but If the choice were to
be made with reference to the present
qualifications of the respective candi-
dates he would be glad to have his
claims considered along with the claims
of the others. 1t is not thought now
that there will be any Withdrawals, and
neither will there be anything further
to say along the line of Mr.. Ragsdale's
having entered the race only as pro-
lection to Col. Youmans.

Col w. W. Lumpkin of Columbia,

campaign all to himself for a few
days as Senator Tillman is detained in

session Col. Lumpkin should make
the most of this opportunity and get
all the fun out of ii possible. If he
does not have some fun the campaign
will be a failure so far as he is con-

NJ Cantey was before the investigat-
ing committee. He testified that he

tending the posting of their advertis-

Childs and a brother-in-law of L. w.
Boykin, a member of the board of
control. Receiving that money was
not criminal. The whisky house had
the right to give it to him and he had
the right to use it. So with all the
grafters. Many of them received
money for nothing. They did not earn
il i'm legitimate way. When it drop
ped into their hats, or laps they pock-
eted it and asked no questions. We do
not believe the most greedy and grasp

1t is very difficult to account for
the Bryan wave. When Tim Sulli-
van promises Tammany, it means
that August Belmont and Ryan are
back of the movement. 1t may be
inferred that they do not wish him
elected. There is more i'm this "spon-
taneous" uprising in Bryan's favor
than a desire of the people to make
him their standard bearer. 1t does
not look like a great ground swell
caused by the mass of Democratic vot-
erS. 1t seems TO be a movement OF
adroit politicians who wish to give
the couhtry four years more Of Repub-
lican rule Bryan, we believe, is an
honest man and he would not be a
partner i'm any Tammany trickery. but
let us not forget the rate bill and how
the Democrats were hoodwinked in
that matter. We verify believe that
w. j. Bryan is the Republican choice
for a Democrat leader. The corpora
ton Democrats will come to his sup
port Ii will be al easy matter to
bring in state conventions and nomi-
nate him unanimously. - Carolina

TILLMAN AND RoosEvELT-There Is
a prospect that before the end OF the
Roosevelt administration the president
and Senator Tillman of South Carolina,
will shake hands and make up. Recent
remarks made by each Of them indi-
cate that no bad feeling would be dis
played If the two should happen to
come face to face all Of a sudden.
Il like Senator Tillman," said the
president to Senator Gallinger the 9TH
er day, when the latter called at the
White House on a matter in which the
South Carolinian was interested. HE
couldn't do anything to make me mad
any more"
In his final speech on the railroad
rate bill, Senator Tillman startled his
colleagues by commencing the efforts
made by the president to put an eff
fective rate bill on the statue books
A caller discussed the incident with
the president DO you know" said the
president, Il didn't think 1t was possi-
BILE for Senator Tillman to do anything
that would surprise me?"
Senator Tillman was talking about
the president to a friend. well, we
got a good law" said the friend, but
did you ever think that a commission
might be created that would be domi-
mated by the railroads."
oh" replied the Pitchfork States
man, Il haven't got much use for the
man in the White House, but l guess
he's straight"

THE Columbia State of Wednesday
contained an article about two and a
half columns in length purporting to
be an address Of Candidate w. W.
Lumpkin to the voters of the state. 1t
was really interesting and outlined
pretty cleverly conceived line Of cam
paign. But from The State of yester-
day it appears that there has been a
mistake somewhere. Mr.. Lumpkin
says that he never wrote a word OF
the address, never dreamed of it and
knew absolutely nothing about It.
The State is left to make an awkward
explanation to the effect that the ad-
dress was sent in by a man named
Davis and that it got the names mixed
in some way.

THE principal differences between a
sea level canal and a lock canal Is
that the lock canal costs less money
and can be finished in less time. The
passage of ships will be slower, on ac-
count of time lost at the locks. the
president was at first in favor Of a sea
level canal, and the senate committee
to please him decided upon that type,
The president had changed his mind
however before the committee had had
time to make its report and the house
decided in favor of lock canal. This
made it necessary to bring pressure to
bear on the senate to make 1t reverse
itself. The senate no less obedient than
the house did not show a great deal OF
reluctance, so a lock canal 1t will be.
This will mean a great many millions
less money and a great many years
less time; but it is not probable that
there will ever be any change in the
type after the canal is once thrown
open to commerce.
