The ssnatorship.

The legislatureMil re-conEene, on
March third, to elect a successor to
the, late Senator Latimer. Several
prominent gentlemen have been men
toned in connec ection with the short
term, but there is one that deserves
more than passing notice. We refer
to the name of General Willie Jones,
that prince of good men, who has
been at the head of the Democratic
party in this State for many years,
having served as Chairman of the
Executive Committee for, perhaps,
twenty years. he is man of wide
business experience and is peculiarly
qualified to look after the interests Of
South Carolina in the United States
Senate. Realizing that this distin-
guished gentleman would fill the un-
expired term of Mr.. Latimer with the
Same zeal that has been so charac-
teristic of his past life, we commend
him to the favorable consideration of
the General Assembly. There is
not fanother man in the State that has
done as much for the Democratic
party as has General Jones, and it
would be q righteous honor, most
Wofthily bestowed, to send him to
the United States Senate.

ENJOYABLE Automobile Ride.

On Sunday afternoon it was indeed
our pleasure to accompany Mr.. j..
Tally Harth, the very, efficient and
capable city electrician of Columbia,
and his family on a delightful and
pleasing automobile ride over the
principle thoroughfares of that beau
tiful city, and out into the suburban
districts-the old Schutzenplatz,
Booker Washington Heights, which is
fast becoming populated by colored
people who are building homes and
otherwise improving the property;
thence by the new Methodist college,
for young women, which is indeed an
ornament and credit to Colum bias
rapidly growing suburbs; the Ensor
Hyatt's Park, down Main
to the corner of Plain streets, to the
State penitentiary and to the city
waterworks on the beautiful banks of
the famous Broad. We met. Mr.: John
Irwin, the very able and genial chief
engineer of the plant, who kindly
showed us through the entire water
works and explained the workings Of
the machinery, fltering process, etc.,
with which Columbia is supplied with
pure and health giving water. 1t is
much more extensive than we imag-
ined and is certainly up-to, date.
This is, indeed, and ideal place for
the young people to spend their Sum
day afternoons in recreation and
pleasure. While there we noticed sew
eral couples anda a number of pedes-
trians of both sexes, thus enjoying
themselves.
The afternoon was an ideal one
spring-like, with delightful breeze,
which made our trip all the more en-
joyable. We are under lasting obliga-
tons to Mr.. Harth, for this pleasur-
able and much enjoyed little outing.

Since the terrible tragedy in Co
lumbia last Saturday morning in
which a dispensary constable lost his
life while in the discharge of his duty,
the question naturally arises as to
how far an officer is authorized to go
in the discharge of his duty. In other
words, is an officer authorized to
break down, tear down, knock down,
and if need be, kick down, door to
a residence and enter with drawn
pistol in order to capture booze?

Hon. Duncan Clinch Hayward, ex-
governor ofSonth Carolina, has an
nounced his candidacy for the United
States Senate for the long term. He
is in the race to win, so he says, and
no doubt he will make most formid-
able foe. Mr.. Hayward, his friends
say, has not lost any of his popularity
of a few years ago, when he was
elected governor by one of the largest
votes ever accorded any man for that
high Office.

The political situation in South
Carolina has taken decided change
during the past ten days. It was
generally believed that Governor
Ansel would be permitted to return to
the Gubernatorial chair without op-
position, but it is definitely announced
that he will have opposition in the
person Of Hon. G. G. Featherstone OF
Laurens, who, it is said, will make
the race on straightout prohibition
platform. It goes without saying
that Mr.. Featherstone will make it
shot, for Mr.. Ansel.

70 Our Subscriber

We regret that it becomes necessa-
ry for us to again refer to the new
postal laws, which will become effec-
tive on April I, but it seems that
quite a number of our subscribers fail
to catch the meaning Of the rule. AS
( we have repeatedly stated, we will
mot be permitted ito mail papers to
Hubscribers who are in arrears for
more than one year. We want to
again impress upon them the
important fact that this matter is not
i left to our discretion; we have no
more to do with the running OF the
postoffce department at Washington
3 than you have, and we must comply
with the law. Realizing this, and in
anticipation of the vast amount of
work and the length of time it will
take to get our books il proper shape,
we have already erased large num-
ber from our books and more will
meet the same fate; unless they make
remittance at once. This is only a
plain every day -business-propo position,
and surely no one has right to get
offended. So, reader, if you fail to
get your paper. don't blame us; you
have had ample time to pay up.

RECEIVES DEATH SENTENCE
,,..;on Of Hembree's Attorneys For
New Trial Overruled by Circuit
Judge Burnett.

Tho motion of the attorneys for the
,,fonee in the trial of A. J. Hembree,
sooontly convicted OF murder In the
srot degree, to have the verdict sci
lido and a new trial ordered, was
overruIed yesterday morning by Cir
omit Judge George Fl. Burnett and the
rrisoper was sentenced to death by
hanging A second motion, similar
n the first, was also overruled and
tbe defense was given until. November
II to file a bill of exceptions.
The remarkable nerve Of the pris-
oner was not broken even under the
extreme test, but he heard his doom
proDounced with the same stoical
Indifference that has characterized
him throughout the whole of his long
and terrible ordeal. A barely precept-
lille paIeness spreading over his face
as the Judge pronounced the sentence,
was the only evidence that he gave Of
having heard the fateful words.
Attorney Mccain, OF McMinnville,
was the only one Of the lawyers for
the defense who was present, coming
ND to Dallas on the morning train.
Prosecuting Attorney J. Fl. McNary
represented the state.

CAPTAIN win Resign.

Captain G. d. Chorpening Of Com
pany Il, having moved his home per-
manently to Eugene, will resign from
his command in this city when necess-
ary preliminaries have been completed
His departure will be a great loss to
the company and a source Of regret
to all OF the members OF that organ
ization, which indeed owes the very
fact OF its existence and present high
standing among the militia Of Oregon
to the continued and unselfish efforts
Of Mr.. Chorpening. First Lieutenant
L. A. Bollman, as the next in rank
and the logical successor Of the re-
tlring captain. will probably be elect
ed to fill Mr.. Chorpening's position
after his resignation.

PLAN NEW ENGLAND DINNER
Committees Are Appointed For Free
Library Anniversary Enter
tainment.

Preparations are we'll under. way
for the big New England dinner and
concert which will be given October
second for the benefit of the Public
Library. This worthy institution has
been badly crippled for lack of funds
lately, and has been kept running on
borrowed money for several months
past In order to pay off this debt
and to tide over the time till the rest
OF the city's appropriation is paid, it is
necessary to raise good sum at once.
1t is confidently believed that every
one will respond gladly to the appeals
OF the soliciting committee who will
call on every one in town Monday
and Tuesday Of next week.
This committee is the same one that
served 80 acceptably last year, and
they will ask for double or more than
double, the amount of provisions
given before. Practically the same
menu as last time will be provided,
and everyone will be sure to be liber-
ally served. Baked beans, Boston
brown bread, cold sliced ham, cold
corn Reef, sliced roast beef, salads of
several kinds, pickles. doughn uts,
cakes of all kinds, apple, mince and
custard pies, tea and coffee is the
tempting bill of fare to be offered.
The members of the soliciting CON-
mittee are: Mrs. f. W. Fuller, chair
man Mrs. @. L. Barnes, Mrs. F. s.
Ramsey, Mrs. E. G. Richmond, Mrs.
Frank Coad, Mrs. G.. L. Hawkins,
Mrs. Ohio Williams, Mrs. @. E. Shaw
and Mrs. E. M. Smith.
Mr.. Gormley, local representative of
the Wiley B. Allen Company will soon
be able to announce the program for
the concert, which promises to be OF a
very high order.
Dinner will be served from 80 to
8 100 o'clock In the dining room and
the big armory Of the Woodman Hall,
which comfortably seats at one time
200 people, 80 the long wait and un-
comfortable crowding of last years
dinner will not be repeated. Twenty
five Of the young girls will serve as
volunteer mattresses under the direc-
ton of Miss Jennie Muscott. The
general management of the affair is
in the hands of Mrs. Louis Gerlinger,
Jr.

Registration Begins.

The registration books in the Court.
house were reopened yesterday morn.
ing and voters who have not yet regis.
tered will have ample opportunity tc
do 80 before October 20, when the
books will again be closed before the
presidential election. County Clerk
E. M. Smith says that he does NOT
anticipate a very heavy registration
this Fall, however, as he believes that
practically all of the voters, excepting
perhaps those who have reached their
majority since the first of June, had
registered before the time of the state
elections. The principal alteration In
the registration books will probably
be transfers of names from one voting
precinct to another.
