The Charleston legislative del
egation is having a Parrot and
Monkey time trying, to elect a
dispensary board of control, re-
sultlng in the Withdrawal of
three members from the meeting.
The trouble appears to grow out
Of the report made by State Au-
ditor West, who found that the
board had paid more for beer
than the concerns bought from,
had sold to other dispensarles. A
resolution was offered to the ef-
feet that the election Of board
of control be deferred until an
Investigation could be made. this
was voted down, whereupon
three of the delegation withdrew.
Charleston's delegation seldom
have harmony.

The trial of the Coopers for the
numbering Of ex-senator Car
mack will probably end tomorrow
withan acquittal Of the accused.
II Carmack was not the victim of
a cold blooded conspiracy to mur-
der, then the hangman's knot
never has been placed upon the
neck of a murderer. The jury
sitting in judgment on the case,
is said to be made up Of an ig.
norant class Of people, and most
of them the political partisans of
the Coopers: but Notwithstanding
this disadvantage, the prosecu,
ton has labored hard to secure
the testimony which will convict
the Coopers before the world.
even if the jurors should acQuit.

Theodore Roosevelt is now a
private citizen Of these United
States. while in office he was the
storm center in this American
government. He gave to the peo-
pie of the United States an ad,
ministration which will go down
in history as one Of the most &C.
tive they have ever had, and al
though ne has been the object of
much adverse criticism, he has
also received the plaudits OF a
vast majority. There is one thing
sure, Theodore Roosevelt was
president, and dia things. He has
now retired to private life, but he
has left his impress upon this
country and history will give him
a prominent place for future gen
erations to study. That he has
made some mistakes is conceded
by all, but that he is honest, fear
less, andaccomplished much good
must be admitted. He is compar-
atively young and will remain an
influential factor in American
politics, even if he does not again
hold public Office.

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous for Man
ing People to Neglect.

The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get a firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Backacbe, head
ache, nervousness, lameness, soreness,
lumago. urinary troubles. dropsv, dia.
betes and Bright's disease follow in
merciless succession. Don't neglect your
kidneys. Cure the kidneys with the
certain and safe remedy, Doans Kidney
Pills. which has cured people right here
in this locality.
Silas Bounds, Is ". Pine ST., Flor
eace, S. c.. says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
gave me great relief and do not hesi-
tate to give them my endorsement. The
kidney secretions were highly colored,
often deposited a dark sediment and
were too frequent and painful in pass
age. Ny back ached nearly all the time
and l had sharp, shooting twinges
through my hips. finally read about
Doan's Kidney Pills and began taking
them according to dlrecsions. They
lived up to representations, soon stop
ping the backaches and pains and re-
storing my kidneys to their normal con-
dition. I am more than pleased with
the results I obtained from Doan's Kid
ney Pills"

The indications are that the
Representatives from the South
will be in closer touch with the
President than they have been in
many years. President Taft will
appoint Republicans to office
where suitable men OF that party
can be found, but even in these
appointments: none will be oo-
noxious to the Representatives.
The policy adopted by President
Taft will make for him host OF
friends in the South. and it re.
mains to be seen what it will do
for his party in the way Of votes.
There are some Of the States IN
the Southern column. notably
Georgia. Tennessee, and North
Carolina, which it is surmlsed
will give their electral vote to the
Republican party. There is a
growing sentiment in the States
named in favor of shaking off what
they characterize a dead party.
and with this feeling is a spirit
of unrest, on account Of loca.
causes.
In Tennessee the general as
sembly went direct against the
expressed wish of Democratic
party on the liquor question:
and this was accomplished
through q combination between
the Prohibitionists and the Re.
publlcans. The result being
breaking up of the Democratic
party lines in that State, anc
with strong Republican leaders
composed of the best men in the
State, Tennessee bids fair to be
come Republican.

THE ENEMIES OF CApERs AT WORK.

A dispatch from Washington IN
todays News & Courier, say
,.Rumors have been flying thick
and fast here for the past few
days that John G Capers COM
missioner Of revenue, might be
called upon by President Taft
shortly to hand in his cegistra-
ton" Just why these rumors are
sent out we do not know. unless
it is for the purpose of causing
Mr.. Capers annoyance,in the IN
terest of some asplrant for the
position. The record of Mr.. Ca
pers as commissioner is first
class, and as a Republican must
have this place, we would rather
see him hold it than any one IN
that party.
Although John Capers has
been censured for joining the re-
publican party, and often times
maligned and abused, he has been
a friend to his State, and where
ever it was possible, he exercised
his influence in the interests OF
the white people. They now
charge that he put Crum up to
holding on to the collectorship,
which he denies. If Capers had
influence to make Crum hold on
to that Office, who caused Crum
to resign:
We think President Taft will
please more people in South Car
DINA by the reappointment OF
Capers than he Will, if he graft
fes the prejudicies of few men
in the city of Charleston, who are
more responsible for Crum's ap.
pointment to the collectorship
than was Capers. We imagine
the same crowd that caused Pres
ident Roosevelt to remove Capers
from the District Attorneys Of
fee by misleading the president:
are working the same tactics with
the new president. The animus
against Capers is, mainly, that
Capers had influence at Washing
ton, and would not use it IN the
interests of a certain few IN Char
lesion. We hope President Taft
will pay no attention to these po-
litical parasites.

Senate, Smith Much Gratiiied by the Kecep-
ton Accorded Him by Brother Senators.

ton Accorded Him by Brother Senators.
Florence, March Special: Senator
E. D. Smith has returned from Wash.
in gton, where he took the oath of Office
on Tuesday.
Mr. Smith says that the Office Of Sen
alor is very much bigger thing than
b. had any idea it was, and that his new
d entities rather appalled, him. His only
hope is for strength to measure up to
the requirements Of the position. He
was very much gratified by the recep-
tion accorded him while there, and the
courtesy of Senators Tillman and Gary,
" ho were especially kind. He attended
the extra session of Congress which con-
irmed the nominations for the Cabinet.
I:e heard several fine speeches and was
particularly impressed with the intel
lectual power of Senator Bailey, of
Texas, whom he regards as the intel
lactual giant OF the Senate.
He was impressed also with the spirit
of hopefulness that was IN the air, not
only for the South, but for the whole
nation. 1t promises new era of under
Standing in politics which, in the future.

whole people rather than along section
al lines. There was evidenced a spirit
of fair dealing to be given to all parties
who show spirit Of and are working
for the upbuildiDg Of the country.
He thinks thaS Taft has thrown a
bouquet on the grave of the negro in
politics, and that was all that was meant
by what he bad to say in his inaugural
address. He was particularly struck by
the statement that was made that be-
cause the fifteenth amendment was now
on the books, IL had to be observed aud
would not be repealed, but that were an
attempt to be made now to put such an
amendment on the books he doubted
that it could be done.
In the matter of the Florence postof-
fee, Senator Smith said that the new
man would be appointed at the extra
session, and that no time would be lost.
He will find out as soon as he goes back
just what can be done: he wants to have
the appointment made without hitch or
hindrance, which is so probable in pol
iticS.
He will learn exactly now the matter
lies as soon as he gels back, and will ad
wise the people OF Florence fully as soon
as he can catch up the lines. One thing
they may rest assured of, and that is
that the postoftice will soon be in the
hands of white man. What complica-
tions will enter into the matter he can
not say, but he hopes that none will
arise serious enough to cause the situa-
tlon to remain unchanged, he will not
permit such a condition to arise if pos
sible.

Senator Tillman disappointed

Senator pillman disappointed
a good many of his admirers
when he failed to make good his
promise TO lambaste Roosevelt
before he retired from the presl-
dency. Tillman's answer to Roose-
veit's charge Of inconsistency
was not as complete and salts
factory to the country at large
as it was to a large portion of
the Senator's home constituency,
and when he promised to come
again and show the President
up: there was always an anxious
moment watching for the lower
regions to break loose, and a
scintilation of sparks. But the
Roosevelt concluded his work
in the white house, while Till
man kept a discreet and dignifed
silence. Perhaps twas better
thus.

The Columbia Record of Mon

though Hon. 0. B. Martin in his
campaign for the United States
senate, criticized the Hon. R..
Goodwin Rhett as Mayor of
Charleston, because he assisted
in the entertainment Of Judge
Taft, when that distinguished
gentleman visited Charleston,
Mr.. Martin has since accepted a
lucrative appointment under
President Taft's administration.
Martin like all other politicians,
in his criticism Of Rhett was only
endeavoring to appeal to the pre-
iudices of the unthinking, for
the purpose of enticing votes to
himself. In accepting a position
under the Taft administration
MIR. Martin will, We have no
doubt, be able to be of good ser
vice to the people Of this State.
