Many talented person is kept back

This is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as is
often the case with talented persons.
There is a simple, easy way to get rid
of coffee evils, and a Tennessee lady's

considering. She says:

in Mr.. Johnstone's presence twice
that he understood it paid from 5000
to $1,000, and Mr.. Johnstonc had
not denied it.
Mr.. Aull emphasized that he was
not raising these questions as tech
nlcalitics, and showed the wisdom of
the Constitutional provision, and the
wisdom of its being carried out.
Mr.. Aull said as member of the
general assembly he had opposed and
had fought the establishment Of the
immigration department, and was op-
posed to it now, and opposed to inn
migration Of the kind we had been
getting ever since the establishment
OF the department. He said he did
not object TO home seekers who de-
sired homes and who would make
good citizens coming to South Caro-
lima and settling, but he did object
to the class Of immigrants we had
been getting, and which we would
continue to get under the present i'm
migration plan, and he objected to
the plan Of going out and seeking i'm
migrants. lie said the matter came
up in the last legislature, and on cv-
cry test vote Mr.. Johnstonc had
voted for the continuation of the i'm
migration department.
Mr.. Aull said that as Il mcmcbcr
OF the house he had used his best en-
deavors to hold down appropriations,
many Of which he believed were too
large and many Of which he believed
wcr2 altogether unnecessary. lie was
not opposed to the higher institu-
tIonS Of learning, but he thought it
was taking too much money to run
them. These appropriations were
considered in committee. and two or
three were presented to the house
by n committee vote of six to five,
and Mr.. Johnstonc was among the
six.

and the college began drawing inter-

five per cent interest on a large
amount Of money which she had bor-
rowed. The last session gave the
other $4,000, but Mr.. Aull said that
he put in the appropriation bill
proviso that the money should not
be drawn until the work was in pro-
gress. This money had been APP
propriated and part of it had been
lying in bank at Rock Hill for

Democrats are planning to cut
quite a figure in opposing the re-
publican nominations for offices in
the courthouse that stand out with
large interrogation pointsh opposite
them. They are the commission
ers from the First and Third dis
tricts, sheriff and prosecuting at
torney. W. r. Parks, democrat
will oppose w. M. Dean, republl-
can, for the Third district. and w.
c. Pittam, democrat, will oppose
J. F. Congelton and G. H. Collin,
republicans, in the First, unless the
democrat forces that go into the
primaries down those two republi-
cans.
o. J. Saville, democrat, is
framed up to fight Fred Pugh, the
ring candidate for prosecuting at
torney. But Pugh may not be his
opponent If the democrats get &C.
ton at the primaries.
The same may be said of the
sheriff's office, where Uncle Mac
Pugh is the ring candidate. George
E. Stone Is the democrat out for
that Office.

LUCAS LEMON
CAUSE OF ROW

Baseball fans, mostly kids, made
a bad mistake at Recreation park
yesterday by starting row on
poor old Red" Ehret while he was
leaving the grounds. They called
him the usual pet names, one fell
low hit him from behind and it
might have been worse if Ehret
hadn't got into a peanut stand.
When that melee was simmering
Dave Rowan, McKune and Fortier
of the Seattle team came along and
mixed in. Rowan hit somebody
with a bat. Officer Daniels got
hold of boy named Black who
was fighting with Fortier and held
him but captured nobody else. The
patrol wagon arrived eventually
and conveyed the frightened UNI
pire home.
This is merely An abortive de-
velopment of the ibortive baseball
that is being handed the town just
now. Pres. Lucas is the man re-
sponsible for Ehret's employment.
Whether he will keep him on the
job for the last week of ball In
Spokane is not known this after
noon. 1t is likely that Ehret will
be glad to be exchanged or retired
His work is rank because he evil
IDENTITY can't see, but he seems to
suit Lucas. Not all the lemons
given the fans have come from
Wolf. He doesn't hire umpires.
