Lawyer No Longer a Can
didate for GubernatOrial
Nomination.
TOO MANY DIFFERENCES
Would Accept Nomination From
Only a United Party and on
a Strong Party Platform.
Fight Now Is Between
Fort and Semmer.

Feeling that all the factions within
the ranks of the Republican party
cannot be united and adopt a strong
platform-two essential elements for
him II he were to accept the Republic
can Gubernatorial nomination-Chan
Ter w. Rilxer today announced to an
EVENING STAR representative that
he had eliminated himself from the
race.
Il do not know that l can say much
about the affair."" Mr.. Riker replied
to inquirer. "other than what l have
always said. 1t has generally been
understood that l would not be a
candidate for the Gubernatorlal nomi-
nation unless all the factions in the
party were a unit and that a strong
platform were composed and that there
was demand for my name. Iwould
take the nomination under those con-
ditions.
you know now that such conditions
cannot be brought about. There will
be no uniting of the factions, and
do not see why, under those circum-
stances and in view of my previous
position, l should bother myself any
more with the question"
"Then you eliminate yourself from
the race because you feel sure the
conditions you desire If you were to
accept the nomination cannot be
brought about?'
That's about it. You know l never
said 1 was a candidate in the strict
sense of the word. If the factions had
been united and wanted me l would
have stood, advocating a strong plat
FORM"
| He reiterated that he would not
bother any more and should be con-
sidered out of the race hereafter.
Mr.. Riker's name had been brought
forward at the beginning of the cam
paign for nominations, and strength
was given when United States Senator
Frank O. Briggs. Republican State
chairman, mentioned Mr.. Riker as to
his liking 1t was believed that New
Idea men would unite upon him, but
subsequent developments proved that
the Colbyites were for Sheriff Frank
II. Sommer, and many of the Regulars
advocated Justice j. Franklin Fort.
The Sommer boom was born, 1t is
understood, from the refusal of Mr..
Riker to take the Colby Endorsement
exclusively.
Since Senator Everett Colby returned
from Europe all idea of unification has
been thrown to the winds, for he has
worked harder than ever for Sheriff
Sommer The latter was at Trenton
yesterday, and when Mr.. Riker learned
from him that he was in the fight to
stay the former at once began to dis
courage the use of his name.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Riker clears
the atmosphere to the Regulars greatly
in Essex The fight in the State con-
vention will probably be between JUS
tice Fort and Sheriff Sommer, though
there are said to exist possibilities of
Judge Fort retiring.

From Chicago to Savannah.

Chicago, Special.-A proposition
to establish State-owned railroad
from Chicago to Savannah, Ga, was
suggested to Corporation Counsel
Lewis by Governor Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, in letter. Gov. Smith
declared that such line would re-
duce freight rates and would have Il
great influence on trade relations
with the South. The letter says:
II am much interested in the rail
road rates from the lakes to Georgia.
Car State owns n railroad from At
lanta to Chattanooga and there is
strong sentiment in favor of extend.
ing 1t to Savannah. If Cincinnati
could reclaim control of the line built
by its citizens from Cincinnati to
Chicago, and CINCINNATI and Chicago
would -Joln n movement for the con-
struction of n line from Chicago to
Savannah, there might be through
trunk line from Ccicago to Savannah,
operated solely for the purpose of
paying expenses and interests of the
actual cost of construction without
the burdens of watered stocks and
bonds. Such line would prove ben
cfcial not only to the great cities
through which it passed but to
broad territory adjacent to the line
1t would reduce freight rates more
than % per cent 1t would have q
most marked influence on our trade
relations.'

DREADED TO EAT
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to cat
their meals, although actually hun
CRY nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so. for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal
into the furnace, and our sense OF
appetite becomes unnatural and per-
verted. Then we eat the wrong kind
OF food or eat too much, and there
you are-indigestion and its accom-
panying miseries.
n Phila. lady said the other day:
MY husband and | have been sick
and nervous for 10 or 90 years from
drinking coffee feverish, indiges-
ton. totally unfit, a good part OF the
time. for work or pleasure. We act
ually dreaded to eat our meals.
1--WE tried doctors and patent med
icines that counted up into hundreds
OF dollars. with little II any benefit.
Accidentally. a small package OF
Postum came into my hands. I made
some according to directions, with
surprising results. We both liked 1t
and have not used any coffee since.
Tho dull feeling after meals has
left us and we feel better every way.
We are so we'll satisfied with Postum
that we recommend 1t to our friends

Mr.. BLACK WOULD SHOOT

Dispcnsary Director John Black
Pulls Gun on MIR. William P. Nor
folk, Blender for the South Caro-
lima Dispensary- -Norfolk's Evi-
dence Before Legislature Investi-
eating Committee Causel Trouble,
Having Resulted in Recommends
tion of Removal Of Black and Other
Members Of Board-Second Time
Black Has Lost Temper Because of
Investigations.
Columbia, S. c.. Special.-State
Dlspensary Director John Black on
Thursday afternoon attempted to
shoot Mr.. William p. Norfolk, blend
er for the State dispensary. The in
cldent took place in the room of the
dispensary board, ut the Capitol,
where Mr.. Norfolk had gone to Sc
cure his pay check
Black came in while Norfolk was
IN the room and demanded to know
what he was doing there. Norfolk
replld that he came for his check,
whereupon Black ordered him out,
using violent language Norfolk did
not leave Immediately and protested
against the language of the director.
Black then drew his revolver and adj
vaced upon Norfolk, when Mr.. Cliff
Mobley and others interfered. Nor
folk, who appeared to be unarmed,
then left the room, and the incident
seems to be closed, although no ar
rests have been made.
AT recent meeting of the legisa-
tive committee appointed to investi-
gate the affairs of the dispensary,
Mr.. Norfolk gave the most damaging
evidence against the members of the
dlspensary board, and it was largely
on this testimony that both houses
of the Legislature recommended that
the Governor remove Black and 9TH
er members of the board. Norfolk
had testified that an amount of
whiskey for which the board paid
100000 of the States money, had
been worth not more than half that
amount. This liquor was purchased
from Clarke Bros. and other whiskey
dealers. He also testified that there
were great opportunities for graft
under the dispensary system. Mr.
Black was, at that time, at Hot
Springs, Ark.
1t was Director Black, it will be
remembered, who held up Chief Dis
pensary Inspector j. Frazier Lyon,
in front of the Columbia Hotel dur
ing the investigation last summer,
threatening to shoot the inspector and
using threatening language. This
matter was carrcid TO Governor Hey
ward. but a removal of the director
was not then ordered.

RATIO OF SEEDS TO STRAW

The ratio OF seed to straw varies
greatly. On rich land, manured with
heterogeneous fertilizers, the growth of
straw is great compared to that OF
grain. and the same in wet seasons,
being the reverse when the season Is
dry. To prevent lodging it is recon-
mended by some that an application
of lime and salt be applied in tho
