NEXT YEARS POLITICS.
Speeulations Concerning Possible Can.
didates For Governor.

In less than a years time there will
be another campaign In South Caroline
for state offices. 1t is likely to be
spirited campaign, and a fight all along
the line-that is for other offices than
that Of governor.
The first Of the formal announce
ments Of the campaign has been made
Mr.. Coleman L. Blease has announced
that he will again make the race for
governor Mr.. Blease has a way OF
getting in early and fighting to the
finish whether he wins or not. Some
folks have suggested that he has made
is TO way for motives to be interpreted
Who Is going to run for governor?
Over in Georgia they groom candidates
and nominate them q year or two be-
fore they go into office.
There are some folks who think that
the August primaries on the liquor
question will materially AFFECT the sit
uation before the candidates for gov
ernor are announced. AS q matter OF
fact, the state is now prohibition from
a numerical standpoint; that Is so far
as the voters in the state primary are
concerned.
Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburs,
Union, Oconee, Pickens, York and
ITeenWOOu dI6 uOW piOhioiliOh oho
these counties alone, not to even count
the other prohibition counties, contain
q majority Of the white voters OF the
state. The counties that are and have
been prohibition counties for several
years now have and have had the ma
jorities for a long time, and whether
any Of the counties go for prohibition
in the August pri. AIRY will not mate
rally affect the situation. 1t may give
reason for prohibition ticket; al
though that same reason has existed
some time. Governor Ansel is today
doing as much to enforce prohibition
in the state as could a governor elect
ed as q simon pure Prohibitionist. IT
takes local sentiment more than all
else to enforce this particular law.
But about the candidates. Mr..
Blease Is going to run. The symptoms
are that Mr.. Richard I. Manning OF
Sumter, will be In the race. The prob
abilities are that Mr.. Attorney General
]. Fraser Lyon will be candidate.
The friends of Lieutenant Governor
Thos. G.. Mcleod Of Bishopville, are
urging him to run. These four are
more or less certain candidates. If the
Prohibitionists have a candidate 1t may
be Mr.. c. c. Featherstone Of Laurens,
or 1t may be M. L. Smith Of Camden.
Then there is talk Of Capt. John G..
Richards running for the place as far
mer, and some business men think
they would like to see Mayor r. Good
wyn Rhett Of Charleston, enter politics
the governors office.
And then there Is always the likeli-
hood Of one or two unannounced and
candidates.
There really ought to be candidate
on the platform of a Just and fair tax
revision. He may not win the first
shot out Of the box, but that Is as GER
tain to be winning issue as any that
has ever won in this state.-August
Kohn in News and Courier.

Look Before
You Leap---

The record of the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Company, covering q
period Of GA years, shows that Il has
never failed to give each policy holder
a square deal while living and his es-
treatment after his death. Following
Is one Of the numerous incidents In its
career, and was related by Mr.. @. e.
Black one Of the company's general
agents for the territory embracing St
Louis, Mo-, at meeting Of the CONF
panys general agents held In Chica-
60 last month:
Many Of our older agencies can
doubtless duplicate our experience at
the st. Louis ONCE several years ago,
which will tell as nearly as possible
In the words Of my good friend and
partner, who vouches for its authen-
ticity:
Several years ago gentleman ap-
three policies-$5,000 Glass A. $4,000
Glass b. and $4,000 ordinary life, on
the life Of his father who had just
died. He said he had read the policies,
understood that the first two were
paid-up, and worth their face, but
with a long drawn sigh) that the
other having lapsed several years be-
fore, was worthless. He had read the
latter policy carefully, and being q
lawyer had interpreted the terms cor
rectly. (The Life policy was Of the Is
sue OF 1869 A SUFFICIENT time hav-
ing been given to allow the impression
to soak In, he was given Blank Proof
Of Loss, and the suggestion was made
that he include the $4,000 In his claim.
and 1t would be paid. He was natur-
ally perplexed at this, and the expla-
nation being given, he said feelingiy,
(for he was half-owner In the In
surance), this Is very generous! he
was promptly reassured on this point,
and It was made clear that the officers
Of the MUTUAL BENEFIT had no
authority to be generous with the
company's funds, but that 1t was an
Illustration of very fair article OF
justice, and an exemplification OF
strict mutually"
No other company in business would
have paid the policy voluntarily, under
similar circumstances.
You do not need to know anything
about insurance In order to get all that
Is coming to you under Mutual Ben
eft contract.
Look hsfore you leap. It viii cause
sorrow and vain regrets II you leap
first and then look.

The Hague. April -Wilhelmina, Queen of The Netherlands, gave birth to daughter this morning The condition of her majesty is satisfactory, the infant princess is doing well, and Holland is celebrating the happy event from one end of the country to the other with eX- pressions of joy such as seldom have been witnessed among this placid people. The political significance of the occur renee lies in the fact that there is now an heir to the throne of The Neither lands circumstance that very greatly enhances the chances of the country for continued independence.
 Every town and village in Holland is today celebrating the long-awated birth of a child to her majesty, who was mar ried to Prince Henry of Mecl1linburg- Schwerin February [. 1901.
 Here in the capital in spite of the heavy downpour of rain the streets are gaily decorated and great crowds are evdencing their qualification.
 The accouehment took place at o'clock. Owing to the early hour the contemplated salute was not fired and the first persons outside the royal palace to hear the news was a party of workmen passing the residence of the Queen on their way to work. The cheers raised by them were the signal for general rejoicing. Flags and bunting that had been held in readi- ness were unfurled and the city took on holiday attire.

Prince Henry at once telegraphed his mother advising her of the happy event and adding that the condition of the Queen was most satisfactory.
 Heralds, accompanied by trumpeters, clad tn ancient Dutch dress. made the rounds of the city, hating at the prin- cipal squares and other suitable spots to make. after the fan-fares. the follow ing proclamation;
 Fellow Citizens With great joy we announce the news that her majesty by the grace of God has been delivered of princess.
 "The entire population of The Hague shares the feelings O. deep joy of the Dutch people and is thankful for the blessings bestowed upon the royal house and upon the country May the happy event strengthen the bonds uniting The Netherlands and the House of Orange. Long live the Queen. Long live the Prin- cess of Orange"
 At Il o'clock in the morning an off cial bulletin was issued, saying the Queens condition. under the circum- stances. was very satisfactory, and that the new born princess was doing well.
 Splenddly illuminated streets. thronged with a rejoicing populace dancing, sing ing and throwing conretti gave to the city a carnival appearance tonight. A torchlight and lantern procession was held by the students and was a great success. The crowds in front of the royal palace made the thoroughfare al most impossible.
 Queen Wilhelmina slept well during the day and Is progressing nicely. Her ma jesty expresses the intention of nursing the princess, beginning tomorrow.
