FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS,

beg to announce my candidacy
FOR reelection to the Office Of railroad
commissioner. l am making my cam
paign not on promises as to what I
will do, but on what I have done.
Those who have had business with
the railroad commission will testify
that [ have ever been ready to dis
charge the duties Of my Office fear
lessly, impartially, and to the best
interests Of the people Of South Car
olina, and that I have always been
courteous to those desiring informa-
iton and relief.
am the only railroad commission
er who has moved to Columbia to be
in daily touch with the work of the
Office.
During my term of Office I have
inspected personally every line OF
railroad in the State, often walking
cross-ties that T might be assured
that the condition of the roadbeds
and trcstlcs was safe.
I have been often in every county
in South Carolina, looking into the
conditions of the station, and improv-
ing the convcniences Of the travelling
public.
I have stood for lower freight and
passenger rates, better schedules, and
safer modes Of travel.
The handsome majority YOU gave
me formerly has always been apprc-
ciated, and has been an incentive to
faithful performance Of my duties
| hope to have yonr support in the
coming election, and shall sthivc to
ever render You faithful service.

SULTAN OF TURKEY STABBED
rs REPORT IN LONDON

london.-A private dispatch re-
crivcd here this morning stated that
'ac sultan Of Turkey was stabbed bv
Il minor palace official who had been
brlbcd by The leaders Of the Young
Turkey government. II was detailed
how the would-bc assassin drove his
dagger ai the heart Of the sultan, but
the point Of the blade was dcflcctcd
by the coat of mail which the ruler
wears beneath his clothing.
a later dispatch. from the same
source. stated that an attempt to kill
the sultan was made from the rear.
and that the man who made the at
tack actually succeeded in driving his
Sh"rt-hladcd dagger up to the hilt,
seriously wounding the sultan.
Both messages purportcd to come
from leader Of the Young Turkey
movement. who is now in Geneva.
The messages created no end Of
alarm. for il was predicted that an
attempt at complete revolution of
government in Turkey would follow.
As II" confirmation of either message
has thus far been obtained, the be-
lief prevails that the rllmors were in
Splrcd by Young Turks. whose OBJ
.lcrt is to keep the revolutionary pot
boiling.

THE CAMPAIGN MEETING.

1t was not surprising that there
were sensational developments at the
State campaign meeting in Ncwber-
ry on Wednesday. Mr.. Cole. L.
Blcasc, candidate for governor and
State senator from this county, in
his campaign speeches throughout the
State had placed his personal char
actcr in issue and had challenged as.
sault upon it. Hc had referred the
people of South Carolina ia his pas
tor, the Rev. DR.. j. w. Wolling, as to
his personal character. On Wcdnes-
day morning the Columbia State
published card signed by six Of the
ministers Of Ncwbcrrv county, who
stated that they deemed it their
"duty to say" that they did "not,
directly or indirectly, endorse his
candidacy.' THAT card was not sign
cd by DR.. Wolling.
In thr FIRST place, Mr.. Blcasc had
not called upon any one to endorse
his candidacy, and it is to be regret
ted that the ministers Of Nrwhrrrv
should have taken part in a political
campaign by publishing statement.
ms ministers, that they did moi en-
dorsc his candidacy, however much
they may have been opposed to his
election. Even If Mr.. Blcasc had re-
frrrrd his character To- the minister's

ling specifically. the ministers. in
their published card, said nothing
about his character Boiled down.
their card amounted to their saving
that they did not support him and
womld not vote for him.
There was no duty resting upon tho
ministers to make this statement. No
on" will question their right. us free
American citizens. to make il. But
IN maxim" il, they laid dnnw thc gap
Tor Mr.. BraSc to wade in. and. as
We have said. we regret that the in

charge to make against Mr.. Rlcasr :

speeches has referred only to DR..

that he drlicd amy one to make sucl

THE MOTHER OF PRESIDENTS"

John Adams was a vice president,
and Sc was Thomas Jefferson. The Sc
selection Of presidents by the cabinet
route was inaugurated by Jefferson,
and his plan became known as "the
Virginia dynasty and it lasted until
Virginia became known as ''the moth
sr of presidents"
Jefferson made Madison his secretary
of State, and whom he retired after
serving two ful terms Madison sue
cseded him. Madison in turn made
Monroe his secretary of State, and
when he had served two terms Monroe
was made president. Monroe serve
w terms, and this closed the Virginia
dynasty, which covered a period ct "a
years, or all the time between the
terms of John Adams and of John
Quincy Adams. But the latter was
Monroe's secretary of State, and pro-
motion by the cabinet route was still
powerful. There were no national con-
vsntiousi in those days. The politicians
in congress met and settled things.
Had jackson not returned a senator
and a successful soldier, the right OF
succession might have lasted another
"a years. Quincy Adams did secure a
presidential term, but his term came
from the House OF Representatives, in
to which the election had been thrown
Adams made Clay his secretary OF
State, and Clay never become presi-
dent. Jack son did. Van Buren,, his
successor, vas vice president, and at
ter he had served one term as presi-
dent the wing uprising upset the ma
chine, national conventions were or
gained, and the right OF succession
was forever abolished. Sincs then.
down to the last days Of the Chicago
convention, no member OF a cabine
has been elected president-scArcsly
one had been placed in nomination by
either of the great parties in a period
of nearly 40 years. Buchanan was in
Folks cabinet, but he did not succeed
Polk in the presidential office. Blaine
was in the cabinet of Garfield and Har-
rison, but he never became president,
although he did run against Cleveland
in 1854.
There is now no regular succession,
and probably never will be. The nomi-
nation of IA secretary OF war at the in
stance of President Roosevelt is not a
renaissance that would prove lasting
even il Taft succeeds in getting into
the White House.

strong men after years Of careful train

exhausted and ovsr-strained in every

twenty-six mile contests Of endurance,
where contestants drop in their tracks
