ADVANTAGES OF A NEW COUNTY.
A new county would make more of
fees and more candidates. That would
make things a little more lively during
election years, but how is that to help
the tax payers? County officers have to
be paid and the expenses of the admins
tration of county affairs have to be met.
Increased expenses must mean increase
of taxes.
Why is it that newspapers and politi-
clans who supported Col. w. j. Tai
bert, who said in Edgefield last summer
that he had been aprohibitonist twenty
years and who opposes the ~dispensary,
are now so enthusiastic in advocating a
Dispensary candidate for Governor?
Col. William Jennings Bryan was,
has been and is twelve thousand miles
from "The Commoner," Washington
and the Railroad Rate bill since Sena-
tor Tillman was placed in charge of it
by Senator Aldrich and other friends of
the railroads. Col. Bryan went to Asia
months ago.

LAURENS, S. c.. March I'll, 1906.
A LAURENS CANDIDATE.
The Manning Times remarks:

lhS mdtltliiS LILIES REMARKS.
"Col. j. E. Norment, private secre-
tary to Governor Hayward, has an
nounced that he will be a candidate for
the Office of Secretary of State. Nor
ment is q fine fellow and has q host of
friends throughout the State, but there
ls Ebert Aull, who is also suspected of
having aspirations for that office and
he too has a host of friends among
Moments friends. The two will con-
fiict n it would be easier to arrive at
a choice if these two charming fellows
would get together and agree which
should be the zecretary, and which
should be the chief clerk. Then the
friends could help both at one and the
same time"
They are fine gentlemen and than
willing to surrender themselves wholly
to the service of the State but Laurens
County will poll about 1901 votes
in the primary this year and these gen.
tlemen will divide the odd vote with
McCown, also a candidate and, like Mr..
Norment, a state house employee
which Mr.. Aull was during the NC
Sweeney administration. The remain
ing $500 votes, we hope and trust and
pray will go for Col. "Mit'' P. Tribble
of Anderson, formerly of Laurens and
still proud of Laurens as Laurens is
proud of him.
BY the way, Governor Hayward, a
man of judgment, appointed Col. Trib-
BILE a year or two ago to complete the
Confederate rolls and he did the work
well. This old veteran entered the Con-
federate army from Laurens and
fought the four years-and it is telling
no tales out of school to say that he
continued to fight for a number of
years after ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the
necessity for fighting did not cease in
Laurens until Wade Hampton had been
firmly placed in the governors office.
First, because Col. Tribble made a
highly satisfactory clerk of court for
Anderson county, an excellent postmas-
ter for Anderson city when Democratic
postmasters were IN fashion, because
he is a competent man, and, second,
because there are few left in South
Carolina who so faithfully, so bravely
and honorably and at much cost saved
South Carolina, Laurens County is for
him-and let it be to a man!
1t would give us genuine pleasure to
vote for our old college friend McCown
or for Norment and Aull, our newspaper
friends, but we are for Tribble, and we
believe that that solitary doubtful vote
in Laurens is weavering.
We have no second choice in this
race-there is going to be one primary.

being the orators. Mr.. McOreary an
nounced his determination to vote for
the bill whether amended or not, but

able provision for the review of the In-
lerstate Commerce Commission find
ings. Mr.. Bailey replied to criticisms
of his suggestion for prohibition in The
bill against the suspension of the COM
missions orders by the courts below the
Supreme Court. He coDtended that
Congress had the absolute power to pre-
scribe limitations for the courts which it
creates, and cited large nun Der OF lie
cisions in support of his position. Mr..
Hepburn advocated a review provision,
but expressed the opinion that even il it
were omitted no person could be deprived
of his right OF admission to The courts.
1t is practically settled that the Senate
will adopt the House railroad rate bill
with an amendment providing for a ju-
dicial review.
The House yesterday passed the bill
abolishing the grade of lieutenant gen.
eral, with an amendment making pos
sible the promotion of Generals Corbin

Negro Lynched.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 20.-Ed.
johnson, negro, was taken from jail
last night by mob of rs men and hang
ed to a beam of the county bridge over
the Tennessee river. The rope broke
and the negroes body fell and the mob
quickly riddled him with bullets. The
sheriff and the jailer we're locked in a
room while the mob secured the prisoner.
There was no disorder. The negro was
to have been legally hanged today, but
the United States Supreme Court yester-
day granted stay OF execution and this
action served to anger the citizens. This
was the third attempt to lynch Johnson,
who was convicted Of criminal assault on
Miss Nevada Taylor, a white woman.
Washington. March 20.-When the mob in
Chattanooga last night lynched Ed johnson,
negro convicted Of rape and sentenced to
death, the majesty Of aR order staying the
execution entered by the Supreme Court Of
the United States was outraged For the
first time in the memory Of man a mandate
of the Supreme Court was nulli6ed. Il is
believed that Chief Justice Fuller and the
associate justices Of the court will take inn
mediate action to determine where the con.
tempt lies, and Marshal Wright, probably as
sisted by the Department of Justice, will be
instructed to visit the castigation OF the court
upon those guilty of laxity in permitting a
person, protected by the order Of the tribunal,
TO be put TO death in violation Of law. JUS
tices who we're asked for an opinion of the
ease today refused to talk, saying it was a
matter which might come before the court for
final disposition. Inquiries were referred to
the orders sent to Tennessee yesterday for an
idea Of what otfenses had been committed in
the lynching of johnson.

president of the Cones Garment Com
pany, one of the ciiy's richest men. The
bride-elect is IS and the bridegroom a
few years her senior.
Mrs. Mcdonald was pronounced by
Matthew Arnold, who met her in
Washington, the most beautiful woman
in the world. A Denver newspaper
published her proirait and Den
yer bankers wife, whose cook had
pinned it on the Kitchen wall, was
astonished to hear the milkman say one
morning: Eyes, a very good likeness"
She asked him If he had ever seen
Mrs. Mcdonald, and he replied: "Sbe
was my wife
This, it is said, proved 10 be the
case, as Mrs. Mcdonald had divorced
him previous to her marriage to the
Indian Senator. Her divorce and the
law suits following Senator McDonald's
death, by which the Mcdonald children
by the previous marriage sought to break
the will, caused sensation.

from the Butyr prison near Moscow have
been exiled to the most remote province
of northeastern Siberia. Statistics which

TOday's Telegraphic News
Arrived at an Agreement.

London, March 20.-The Evening
News hears on excellent authority that
France and Germany have arrived at an
agreement at Algeciras and that all dan
ger of disagreement in the interrla-
tional conference is past. Continuing
the paper says that complete under
standing has been arrived at on the sub
jects of the policing Of Morocco and the
division of the shares in the State barlk,
the two questions which have caused all
the difficulty A detailed statement, as
to the manner in which these questions
have been settled is expected in few
days.
The indications are, from reports re-
ceived here today, that the Algeciras
conference has apparently reached a
favorable conclusion of its labors. The
news has favorably affected the ex-
changes and many securities enjoyed a
marked rise.
Washington, March 20.-The advices
sent to the State Department by Am
bassador White at Algeciras Indicate q
settlement of the Moroccan police and

Indianapolis, Ind, March 20.-The
rift 10 the rank of the mine operators is
rapidly spreading. Among both opera
tors and miners tie probability of a
strike affecting at least a large portion
of the coal fields of the country is today
regarded as stronger than at any time
since the miners first met here in jan
uary. The operators and miners went into
joint session at 10 O'Clock this morning
at Tomlinson Hall. While such a meet
ing has been confidently expected the
operators did not definitely decide to
enter another conference until next
Monday. This morning J. H. Winder,
the new leader of the operators, and
President Mitchell, of the miners, got
together and decided to hold the COM
bined session at once. Following their
decision of yesterday, The operators will
observe the unit rule in any action they
take in joint conference. The possibility
which thus opens for a split between
the forces of Francis l.. Robbins, de-
posed leader of the operators, who fsvOrs
concessions to the miners, and the forces
representing great railroad interests head.
ed by j. p. Winder, of Ohio, is secretly
considered serious by some of the opera

THERE SEEMS to be theological war
in Philadelphia, where evsngelisIs are
engaged in stirring up religious zeal
The Torrey-Alexsnder mission is said to
have been instrumental last Sunday in
converting one hundred and fifty per-
sons. Evangelist f. E. FRANKIE, of New
York. is also conducting meetings in
the Quaker City. The Apostle Paul
wanted converts in his day to be one
soul, but religious people seem to stray
farther from that standard as time goes
on, as is shown by the following obser-
Vations of Mr.. FRANKIE:
The teachings of DIR. Torrey make of
God a monster rather than a God OF
love. He holds that for short life
time of evil-doing here on earth man
is to spend all eternity in everlasting
torment. He says that hell is literal
fire and that it IS eternal. This theory
is trumped up simply TO g,t men to ac-
cept religion in order to cave their own
skins. 1t wins through dread of pun
ishment rather than because men choose
TO do right for their own sakes. | will
thank God when the spirit of Jesus
Christ il preached in all its simplicity.
Then men will not be misled by seDti-
mental deatbbed stories, and they will
be converted without the fires of hell
back of them. *** / thank God that
Philadelphia has refused to swallow Tor
rev. Let Christ live in your lives, and
you need have no fear of hell.
Professor Nathaniel Schmidt, of Cor
nell University, who lectured to mem
bers of the Society for Ethical Culture
in Philadelphia last Sunday on "The
Religion of the Unchurched," seems to
have thrown bombshells into all religi-
GUS camps. According to DR.. Schmidt,
members OF the clergy assign sordid
cOmmerciaIism, greed, RIGHTEOUSNESS,
card playing, theatres, laziness and
other physical conditions as the reasons
why the masses are drifting away from
the church. "These reasons are not the
true causes for empty pews,' said be.
He continued:
The church is a capitalistic institu-
ton. That is why there are so many
empty benches in many. Rich men OF
doubtful characters are among the pill
lars of many churches, and men who
think Tor themselves prefer to get reli-
gion outside Of the church rather than
accept teachings from men of this charac
ter. Even the stage does
more for the betterment of humanity
than the pulpit, for serious questions of
life are seldom discussed in the pulpit,
but they are often thrashed out on the
stage.
