Jas a people, I must again, in en-

take such action in the matter as
sthe grave necessities of the situation
demand. Many Of you have been
elected upon this issue by the people,
land this increases, in large measure,
your individual responsibility.

Lawlessness and Lynchings.
ri am ashamed to have to report
( to you that, in spite Of all efforts to
the contrary, the crime of lynching
has been committed more than once
in our State during the past year.
s "It can be stated here; with abso-
|lute truthfulness, that-it is not the
|color of the offender, but the, nature
Iof the ~crime,. that makes lyuchings
occur.
Recently the Legislature of Vir-
giniaIenacted law making an at
tempt at rape a capital offense, and
providing also: that the testimony of
the victim could be taken in private
and hot before the public in a court
roon.: I am informed by State Of
icials Of Virginia that this law is
working satisfactorily. I think this
very important consideration, and I
recommend the passage Of such law
for our State.

Portable and well appointed hospi-

6 The State farms are each year
brought to a higher state of cultiva-
ton, and, despite an unfortunate
crop year and a disastrous storm,
destroying 100 bales of cotton and
300 tons of hay, the report of Su-
perintendcnt Griffith will again show
a good profit for the State. These
farms are, therefore, not only profit
able to the State, but are invaluable,
for the reason that they furnish out

not perform other service.
Hampton Monument.
Two years ago the general assem-
bly, Of South Carolina passed an act
appropriating sum for the purpose
Of erecting a monument TO our be-

Wade Hampton. The commission to
whom was entrusted this important
duty have completed their esponsible

THURSDAY, MARCH IA.
TURN DOWN THESE MEN.

If Governor Stokes wants to do
something to please nine-tenths of
the voters of Middlesex county, in
Guiding democrats and the independ-
ents and regulars of the republican
faith, he will refuse to re-appoint
George J. Haney a member of the
County Board of Equalization of
Taxes In fact, we believe it would
be impossible to find even one-tenth
of the voters who want Mr.. Haney in
public Office in any capacity whatever.
The turning down Of Mr.. Haney
would be a decided step toward re-
uniting the factions in the local re-
publican ranks.
Next to Mr. Haney's defeat the
most desirable thing from an inde-
pendent point of view would be the
turning down of Theodore Strong for
the state board of assessors. BY re-
fusing to re-appoint Mr. Strong,
Governor Stokes would accomplish
more toward reuniting the republican
party in Middlesex than anything he
could do. AS long as the Strong ma
chine is in power, the Independent
voter will have nothing to do with
harmony.
Turn down these two men, COVER
nor. and you will be doing the state,
county and party a great service.

The Star is correct in its contention
that the President has been nomi-
mated by the people but once and
that there is a great demand for his
second nomination for his present
high office There is but one thing
against it and that is Mr.. Roosevelt's s
declaration that he will not accept
another term We believe that with
q man, in the presidential chair, hear
tily in sympathy with the Roosevelt
ideas and possessing a determination
to carry them out; and with Mr..
Roosevelt in the senate, the country
would be even better> off than it is
now. He has set the pace for the
presidency but the senate is tagging
far behind. His services are badly
needed there.

RoosEvELT's RECONCILIATION

All this talk about the Roosevelt
.hird term is summed up by the New
lrk Morning Star as follows:
Theodore Roosevelt was
elected President in 1904 for the
first time. He is now serving his
first elected term. In 1900 he
was elected Vice-President, and
succeeded to the Presidential
Office only by the accident of the
death of President Mckinley.
The people had nothing to do
with making him President. He
became President automatically.
The question, therefore, is, or
will be in 1903, whether Theo-
dore Roosevelt shall receive a
second nomination for President
by the republican national con-
vention. There is a steadily
growing demand that he shall,
Notwithstanding his declaration
that he will not be candidate.
And the demand arises from the
great body of the people. AS
the World acknowledges, "the
demand for his nomination
comes from the soil and the fac
tory while "the great financial
and corporate interests of the
country are opposed to it," But
they are blindly helping it along
just the same. The great cor
porate interests could not do
more effective work for the re-
nomination and reelection of
Theodore Roosevelt il" 1908 than
they are now doing. The Harri-
mans and Truesdales and others
of that ilk are making thous-
ands of Roosevelt partisans ev-
