In behalf of the mother, the children
and myself, I desire to express appre-
citation of the self-denying service and
tender sympathy shown us in connec-

Of precious son, husband and father,

the great measure of this comfort 1
cannot tell them. Gods blessings be
with all. Mrs. w. G.. EWart.

Mr.. Rhett and the Crum Matter.

Mr.. Rhett and tne STuHl mdtteT'
Columbia, August 19.-The letter
of Mr.. r. G. Rhett to President Roose-
welt. in regard to the appointment of
Crum, referred to in the campaign as
containing expressions sympathetic
with the Republican party, has been
submitted to Gen. Willie Jones, State
Democratic Chairman, who has given
statement saying that he found no
such sentiments therein. The private
letter books of Mr.. Rhett from Octo-
ber, 1902 to January, 1908 have
been submitted to two distinguished
lawyers of Charleston, Messrs. H. A.
M. Smith and James Simons, who
state that they find therein only this
one letter from Mr.. Rhett to the
president and who agree with Gen.
Jones in his statement saying fur
ther that on account of certain per-
sonal references to a lady who was
affected by the Crum appointment,
publish the letter.
The statements follow:
Columbia, s. c., Aug. IS, 1908.
Mr.. James A. Hoyt,
Columbia, S. G.
Dear Sir:-At your request as
representative of Mr.. r. G. Rhett
candidate for the United States SEN
ate, l have read carefully a letter to
the president of the United States
signed by Mr. Rhett, and dated Nov.
21st, 1902, in his private letter book
submitted to me by you, in which Mr.
Rhett protests strongly against the
appointment of DR.. Crum as collector
of the port of Charleston. 1 can see
nothing in this letter which would In
dicate anything Republican or any
tendency towards the Republican
party on the part of Mr.. Rhett The
letter appears to me to be simply a
strong protest by Democrat against
the appointment of negro to an Of
flee in South Carolina.
Very truly yours,
Willie Jones, Chairman.

Charleston, Aug. II, 1908.
Hon. R. G. Rhett,
Charleston, S. G.
Dear Sir:-At your request we beg
to say that we have examined your
CODY letter-books covering the period
from October, 1902, to January 1908,
and find therein but one letter ad-
dressed to President Roosevelt. This
letter (and you assure US this is the
only letter in that period) is dated
November 21st, 1902, and was writ
ten at the time of the contemplated
appointment by President Roosevelt
of w. D. Crum as collector at the
port of Charleston, and Is written in
the most strenuous terms of protest
against that appointment. We nave
read the letter carefully, and find In
the letter absolutely nothing to the
effect, as stated in the affidavit of Mr.
John P. Grace, that you were a Re
publican and reproached the presi-
dent because by the appointment OF
negroes to prominent office he would
render impossible and ineffective the
work of yourself in advancing the
interests Of the Republican party IN
South Carolina" Your letter In no
way, shape or form intimates that
YOU are or propose to be Republi-
can, and the protest to the president
is couched upon the theory that the
appointment of negroes to office in
the south was most unfortunate for
them, inasmuch as it simply tended
to increase the friction and lesson the
possibility of harmonious existence;
upon whose good will the best posi-
bilities for the future Of the negro
depended.
There are in the letter illusions OF
a very personal character to individ-
uals { a lady, for instance) which we
think it would be breach Of propriety
on your part in this matter now TO
publish.
Very truly yours,
Henry A. M. Smith,
James SimonS.

Statement From Col. Thompson.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. Is, 1908.
This is to certify that although our
names appear among the signatures
to the endorsement Of Gen. Boyd, we
have all along been supporters Of Col
Thompson and are doing everything
in our power to elect him.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. Is, 1908.
To the Democratic Voters of South
Carolina.
Since the last campaign meeting
which was held at Anderson on the
Sth, there has appeared in the news
papers an advertisement containing
the names of a number of militia Of
ficers, who were alleged to be endors-
ing Gen. Boyd. Five of these names
were those of officers Of my own reg
iment (the Second). Lieut.. Tomp-
kins of Edgefield has already proved
to the satisfaction Of the people of the
state that his name was used without
any authority from him; and l now
call your attention to the foregoing
statement from Capt. Herlong and
Lieutenant Wingard of Columbia, two
more of the five officers of this regi-
ment, who were named in Gen. Boyd S
advertisement. These three officers
not only expect to vote for me, but
they are doing everything in their
power to ensure my election. With
the elimination of these three from
Gen. Boyd's advertisement, 1t is seen
that he really has with him only 40
per cent of those he claims from the
Second regiment. There are Sc officers
in this regiment; Of that number 54
are supporting me and only two are
supporting him.
In this connection it might be well
for Gen. Boyd to publish, for the in
formation of the people of the state,
a list of the militia officers who fall
ed to respond when the request was
made of them that they endorse his
administration.

Say Expert Does Not Know Oil

lands in that vicinity take exception
to the report of Robert Anderson, the
expert and geologist sent to this sec.

lands of various districts giving in
dcations of oil.
They say he is a young man just
out of college, not an expert, with
out experience and incapable of Civ,

Reno people claim they have oil and
will soon be producing it, regardless
of Mr.. Anderson's report to the CON

According to Andersons report it

to expert oil fields. He made a

Decree at Reno

After two previous attempts to OBJ

Sardis Summerfeld against Mary e.

cree. No contest was entered by
Mrs. Summerfield. but friendly set

to the suit and was approved by the
court.
Vernon, the minor child Of the coup
le, will be under the care of the
mother, but the court reserves the
right to award the custody to Sum-

and sufficient cause being shown.
Lester Summerfield will reach his ma

der of the community property. will
remain in the possession of the plain

Mrs. Summerfield first asked for a
divorce from her husband on the
grounds of cruelty, two years ago, but
the case was settled out OF court.
Not long afterwards Summerfield
sued for a separation because of al
legged cruelty and infidelity. Judge
Brown of Elko heard the arguments
here, the jury failed to find for either
party and the judge denied the di-
vorce and dismissed the suit.
The present case was called Friday
afternoon after the Ritter trial had
been continued to Monday. Evidence
was taken and there being no oppo-
sition the decree was granted.

Careless Shooting Causes Loss

A number of complaints are being

indulge in a great amount of target
practice with 90 calibre rifles. During
the last week valuable horse belong

and COW belonging to Anderson has

The target shooters seem to pay no
attention to where their bullets are
liable to land or the damage that can
be done from them and the result

Detective iaiks Aoout
Suit for Taxes

j. M. Thacker, special detective for
the Wells Fargo Express Company
declares that Waite Pine county can
not collect any of the $500 claimed
to be due the county by the company
covering an accumulation of the taxes
extending over several years past. 1t
has been reported that three counties
of this State including White Pine
are about to institute suit against the
express company for such taxes
amounting in all to $4,000.
Thacker is reported to have stated
that the reason way such amount
cannot be collected Dy } t-l.- y
is simply because the company has
had no office there. He says: About
II years ago the g npany had an
agency at White Pi- c alS that when
the agent there committed sGSNde as
the result of domestic troubles, the
office was checked up and closed and
there has never been an office there
since then"
Thacker is also reported TO have
stated that neither of the other two
counties will be able to collect their
similar claims.
