The democrats gained over four years ago in nearly every county and city, although some municipali- ties which went democratic two years ago returned to the republican fold today. The next legislature undoubt- edly is republican.
 The democratic vote was increased by more than 13.OOO over 1904, while the republican vote fell off about 2500. The two parties split even in twenty cities, each capturing ten. The voting was particularly heavy in the rural districts. where the democrats made great gains.

 OF HUGHES Still Planning For His
 Defeat A Long Recess Taken to Arrange for a COmbi- nation.

Saratoga, Sept 1.-The republican state convention was begun here this afternoon, the proceedings of which are to result in the nomination of a full state ticket and presidential electors. A notable fact commented on by many was that while pictures of Taft and Sherman lined the front of the gallery nowhere in the hall was there any DOT trait of President Roosevelt or Cover nor Hughes.
 State Chairman Timothy, l.. Wood ruff called the convention to order and Elihu Root was named for temporary chairman. When MT. Root was escort ed to the platform he was given a rousing reception.
 Immediately after Root had finished speaking. on motion of Timothy L. Woodruff the convention adjourned until D. m. tomorrow.
 Camapign buttons bearing the DOT trait of Secretary of the Treasury Geo. B. Cortelyou appeared in sudden pro- fusion in the convention hall just about the time State Chairman Woodruff moved an adjournment
 The lateness of the hour fixed was the subject of general comment, and some surprise Most interpreters re- garded the long interval as designed to give the anti-Hughes leaders more time to negotiate combinations to de- feat the governors renOmination.

THE PENDULUM.

Has the pendulum swung to its fur
therest point outward in the rule of
the demagogues who ride into political
Office on the race issue? Is the South
awakening to the fact that something
should be demanded of her statesmen
other than "cussing" the Negro and the
railroads? 1t would seem SO from re-
cent events.
The pendulum began its outward
swing when Ben Tillman made his
appearance in South Carolina politics
way back in the eighties Some of
those to ride into Office were such men
as Arthur Pue German, James X. Var
daman, Jefferies Davis and Hoke
Smith These men played the race is
sue with all OF their might and secured
political preferment.
But at last it seems the pendulum
has begun to swing the other way.
German is dead Vardaman was de-
feated for the Senate by John Sharp
Williams. jeff Davis was repudiated
by his state when it refused to send
him to Denver as a delegate to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention. Now
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has been de-
feated for a denomination as Govern
or by Joe Brown, a man whose candi-
dacy was at first considered a huge
joke by the Georgia politicians The
one remaining radical who has re-
ceived no political reverses-if we ex-
cept Hehin, of Alabama who is un-
der indictment in the District of Co
lumbia-is Ben Tillman, and he is an
invalid.
These signs of the South's returning
to the fold of conservatism are to be
welcomed 1t is to be hoped that as
the pendulum swings back, if it is real
ly on its way back, that it will knock
into oblivion all those men who have
used as their chief political asset their
ability to stir up hatred between the
races.

the daily newspapers. The better ele-
ment of the whites, those men who
boast of the chiyalrous actions of the
Southern gentleman, are aware that
Chief Curran violated the law of the
city of which he was a guest and they
must hang their heads with shame
when they think of the incident. 1t
certainly adds no laurels to the South
that man from this section should be
guilty of assault and battery in a
Northern city simply because the Gus
toms that obtain are different from
those in Tennessee. The better ele-

customs and if they can not adapt
themselves to the customs, they so ar
range things that they may not come

HOW A CAT CAUGHT TWO RATS.
(From the Scotsman.)

remarkable rafting feat He stalked
two young rats on the caves of low
flat stable roof and caught one in the
usual way. The other jumped on to
an elderberry tree just below.
Bob, however, not satisfied with the
one, grasped it firmly in his mouth,
and then jumped headlong for the
other. Either he was very lucky or
extraordinarily agile, for he fell to
the ground with one rat still in his
mouth and the other in his paws, and
promptly killed them both.

The Taft supporters, it would seem,
are in complete control of the National
Republican Committee and are run
ming things to suit themselves. The
only question considered in deciding a
contest seems to be whether the con-
testees be for or against Mr. Taft. The
Committee is very high-handed in its
actions, and its ruthless disregard of
the questions of right in many of the
contests is liable to create a factional-
ism that will be felt in the coming
election. The committees endorsement
of "lily-whitelsm," if approved by the
Committee on Credentials, will doubt
less cause a large number of Negro
voters in the doubtful states to stay at
home on election day, if not to come
out IT. active opposition. To secure a
nomination by federal ofice-holder-lily-

HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT
Would it not lie a wise course for
those who have in charge the gradu-
ating exercises of the Pearl High
school 10 take into consideration the
wishes and the comfort of those who
attend these exercises? Besides being
rather uncomfortable to he packed in
the Auditorium on warm night, few
of the vast audience could hear any
thing that was said by the Principal of
Pearl High School or the President of
the Board of Education.
Doubtless both of the speeches
possessed great merit, but few persons
heard them The majority of the audi
ence did not want to hear them, be
cause they came to see and hear the
children Of Pearl High School They
hold that the many good things said
on the last night should be drilled into
the students during the three years
they are in the High School, so that
it would not be necessary to keep them
standing for an hour or more before
receiving their diplomas.
This may be the wrong view, but
is one very widely concurred in, as
was shown by the general buzz that
greeted the speakers, and it should
command the attention of Prof. Smith
and Dr. Lees when they prepare for
