Opens At Its Capacity.

And the college, Supt. Collum said,
would open its doors in January un-
der the most flattering circumstances
and brightest auspices, and with
its future fully assured.
A host of students, boys and girls,
will ask admission there.
Girls as well as boys must be
provided for, and to accommodate
the young ladies it is likely that some
residence in the immediate vicinity of
the college will be leased by the trus-
tees and thus utilized until the Girls
Dormitory is completed.
AS yet this building has not been
planned, only the Academic and the
Boys Dormitory having been COM
pleted, but with the expected large at
tendance of young ladies it will be
necessary to build the Girls Dormi-
tory as soon as possible.
Agricultural Department.
Mr.. Campbell will be the principal
of the agricultural department of the
college here, a line in which he has
had years of experience.

REYBURN SCORES
TAFT'S SPEECH
Philadelphia's Machine Leader
Calls 1t Weak Echo.

Philadelphia August 22.-Mayor
Reyburn, formerly congressman and
representing the Republican machine
in this city and state, is out in a
bitter interview attacking both Roose-
welt and Tafts speeches. Referring to
Taft's address, the Mayor who is a
staunch Knox man, says:
Il think it is one of the weakest
have ever read. 1t was absolutely
without any individuality or original
ity. 1t simply was a re-echo of what
is the policy of some one else"
DO you mean that it was a re-echo
of the views of President Roosevelt
Yes, that is what | mean. 1t sim
ply was a re-echo of what somebody
else said. The people today want in
diyiduality, not men without opinions
of their own. Now, do | make my
self clear? If not, let us get at it.
Taft simply is to carry out the plans
of President Roosevelt to secure his
nomination for the presidency, and in
so doing he is re-echoing the views
of Roosevelt. There is no doubt of
that l have nothing to say against
Taft personally. He is a very fine
man, but | am surprised with the pos
ition he takes.

Mayor Defends Railroads.

Il believe in the greatest freedom
for business. The country is pros
porous. Manufacturers are making
money. Everybody is employed and
at good wages, and this is as it
should be. l am not a trimmer on
tariff. The tariff is all right Let
it alone.
Railroads are" business just the
same as anything else. Neither you
nor anybody else has right to come
in and say they shall sell their goods
at certain price. Because the rail-
roads have the right of eminent do
main the Government goes a step far
ther than ever was intended, and
says it has the right to control their
business and regulate their rates.

Future OF College Bright.
Mr.. Campbell has travelled over
the Third congressional district ex-
tensively of late, and always ex-
ploits the agricultural college here.
An expert in judging soils and farm
conditions, Mr.. Campbell unhesitat-
ingly declares the Sumter College the
finest of any of the district colleges
he has seen. Its location and en-
yironment are the very best, and it's
future, he thinks, is very bright
Conduct of the School.
The Third District College, Supt
Collum says, will be conducted upon
the cooperative plan, thus reducing
expenditures, and without interfering
with the college curriculum.
1t is proposed to charge each pupil
$25 upon admission, this amount to
cover all expenditures for the first
quarter of three months. Accurate
account of expenditures will be
kept, and any surplus remaining will
be credited upon the second quarter.
In this manner, the expenses of each
pupil will be reduced to the smallest
amount possible.
Even $25 would seem a small
amount to cover three months ex-
penses, but as the pupils will do
considerable portion of the work
required this amount, even, may be
reduced. and an eXcelletn education
and board obtained at really little
expense.
The college buildings, completed
and fully equipped, will be ready for
the opening session in January.

Beyond the Pale.

A friend of James Whitcomb Riley tells of an occasion when the humorist, who is, as rule, ex- tremely averse to social functions, was induced to attend literary" dinner in Indianapolis given in honor of a novelist of that city.
 Riley had been told off to take in to dinner the sister of his host, an excellent woman, tho anything but literary"
 The conversation touching upon the beauties of Chaucer, about whom a certain set of the city was then cultivating fad, a spirited discussion ensued during which the bewildered sister caught from time to time only the name "Chau- cer."
 At last she whispered to Riley: "Who is this MT. Chaucer they're talking about so much? Is he very popular in society?
 "Madam," solemnly responded Riley, "that man did something that forever shuts him out of soci- ety."
 "Heavens!" exclaimed the worthy dame, and what was that?"
 "He died several hundred years ago." said Riley.-Harper's Week. ly.

During the past few weeks, The Log Cabin Democrat has been printing many communications, which we believe have added much to the value of the paper. Besides our splendid news correspondence from every part of the county, there have been letters on the ru- ral mail service, the road question and other matters of interest. We shall be glad to publish the views of every reader who has anything to say upon subjects of public con- cern, so long as all will refrain from indulging in personalities or abuse.

 Neither can permit to go un- challenged his statement that l ot- fered immunity to M. D. l.. Cook or T. l.. Cox, to both of whom he seems to have given immunity. This statement of his is also with out foundation.
 I never made such statement as this, or anything kindred to 1t, to MT. Rhoton in my life, and he we'll knows it. Neither did 1 ever tell him that 1t was votes that l was after instead of convictions ln these cases, or that I was afraid Ii I were publicly known in the pros ecution that the legislature might impeach me.
 On Tuesday the legislature very properly passed a resolution pro- viding for a committee to investi- gate the charges and counter charges of Davis and Rhoton, and the people of the state will await with no little interest the result ot their investigation.

AMAZING DISCLOSURES.

Some amazing disclosures have transpired at Little Rock during the past week in connection with the poodle investigation, in which charges of a most serious character have been made against Senator elect Jeff Davis by Prosecuting At torney Lewis Rhoton.
 Rhoton, it seems, had written to Attorney General w. F. Kirby, soliciting his assistance and coop eration in the prosecution ot the poodle cases. Kirby replied, how ever, that his time was consumed in the discharge of his official du- ties. but added: "I offer you the services of the well-known and distinguished lawyer, Hon. Jeff Davis, who has kindly rendered me his services and assures me that he will assist you fully if it is agreeable to you, of course, and without expense to you or the dis trict."
 Now Gov. Davis has always ex pressed publicly great admiration for Mir. Rhoton, and in several of his speeches during the last cam paign said: II thank God we have a guide at Little Rock. His name is Lewis Rhoton. He has a backbone of steel.
 But the proffered services of the former governor MT. Rhoton de- clined in letter of stinging denunc- iation. Charges against and de- nunciations of Gov. Davis are not a new thing to the people of Ark ansas, but the letter of MT. Rhoton contains assertions of such an as- founding nature, that we publish it in full below and leave our read CTS to form their own conclusions as to the truth or untrurh of its statements:
 Little Rock, Jan. 3I, 1907. Hon. w. F. Kirby, Attorney Gen.

 Dear Sir-In reply to your valued letter of the 2oth instant l have to say that I shall be glad to have your personal and official cooper ation in assisting in the investiga- ton that is now going on touching official corruption.
 I am, however, constrained to respectfully decline your kind ten der of the service of the Hon. Jeff Davis. l do this because:
 First. The Hon Jeff Davis IS, as he knows, and as he knew when he volunteered his services, my personal enemy, though he poses at times as my friend; second, be- cause as he knows and as he knew when he volunteered his services, my political enemy, and he further knows, and knows that l know, that he used his official and per sonal influence to defeat me with a Republican in the last general election, when I was the nominee

 ADVERTISING MEDIUM "HE LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT has always
 conducted it's business with it's advertisers upon the theory that they were entitled to know exactly what they getting for their money.
 When you buy advertising space, you are buying circulation. It is circulation alone that makes advertising valuable. A paper circulate ing one thousand copies in given territory IS worth exactly one=half as much as an adver= Using medium a paper circulating two thousand copies in the same territory. If the paper doesn't reach the buyers to whom the advertiser wants to talk it is waste of money to buy space in it.
 Now, we have always printed our exact total circulation in conspicuous position in this paper every week. This circulation statement means the number necessarily printed each week to supply our regular subscribers and few for sample copies, files, etc. Thus, for the past month more our average circulation has been 28OO copies every week. On account, however, of putting our out=of=the= county subscription list upon a Casf1=in=adVance basis, our list has suffered a small lOSS and the number printed for this issue is only 265o copies.
 This, however, is circulation of which we are exceedingly proud. No other country paper in the state publishes a claim of so large cir- cuation Counting five readers to the copy, it means that each issue of The Log Cabin Demo- Crat is read by Thirteen Thousand people.
