TAFT IGNORED SMITH.
Presidents Selection of Postmaster
For Florence Doesn't Go With SEN
atOr's Consent.

Washington, Dec. Louis c. Ku-
ker's name was sent to the senate to-
day to be postmaster at Florence.
The appointment was made without
consulting Senator Smith and the
senator does not like 1t. He isn't 60
Ing to stand for 1t. He will interpose
his objection to the confirmation.
1t is an unwritten law in the sem
ate not to confirm man as post
master in a senator's home town
when the senator objects. President
Taft did consult with Senator Smith
several times last spring about the
Florence postoffice, but Kuker was
not the man over whom the consul
tation hinged. Last August Kuker
was all Of sudden-like given a re-
cess appointment when the senator
wasn't looking.
He seized on the job, supplanting
the Rev. Wilson, and now he is up
for confirmation. We shall see what
will happen. Even the unwritten law
sometimes fails. Senator Smith will
have a little talk with the president

NEGRO OFFTCE-HOLD-
ERS SLATED TO GO.
President Taft to Appoint Negroes 10
Office i'm tie North. Instead Of in
The South, According to Political
Gossip i'm Washington.

Washington, Dec. S.-That Presi-
ern negroes to Office rather than
Southern ones is the information
which has been pretty thoroughly
discussed among the politicians of
Washington and elsewhere since
Booker Washington was here last
week. AS the result CT this policy it
is expected that the negroes in the
South who are holding important Of
fees will, as their terms expire, be
displaced for the most part by whites,
and in turn recognition will be given
to colored men in the North. The
list Of colored men holding impor-
tant offices in the South under the
Federal government includes the fol-
diving:
Robert Smalls, collector Of customs
at Beaufort S. c.; Henry A. Rucker,
collector Of internal revenue at At
lanta, Ga; Joseph Lee, collector of
'ii'c'''i IcNeHue DIT JdCkSOnV1llC,
Fla; Nathan III. Alexander, register
of the land office at Montgomery,
Ala; Thomas V. McAllster, receiver
of public moneys at Jackson, Miss:
Walter l.. Cohen, register of the land
office at New Orleans; Alexander B.
Kennedy, receiver of public moneys
at New Orleans; John E. Bush, re-
ceiver of public moneys at Little
Rock
The course the President will take
in the matter Of appointing colored
men is likely to be illustrated in the
selection Of a successor to w. 4. Ver-
non, register of the treasury. Booker
T. Washington and other colored
leaders have given their support to
j. c. Napier, Of Nashville, for the
place, but it appears that the Presi-
dent will probably select colored
man from the North.
Washington was in this city q few
|sdays~ ago. eand It iss sara 1ifiat NJ pfo0
tested when he learned that neither
Vernon nor Ralph Tyler. the latter as
auditor for the navy department,
were to be Ousted. Neither of these
pull with Washington.

Of Quick Trial of would-bc Ra-

Kingstree. Dec. s.--The spirit OF

but cool heads and calm judgment
prevailed and John Woods still lies
safely In jail awaiting trial by the
special term OF Court. which Cover
nor Ansel will DO asked to order. In
spite pf predictions and opinions to
the contrary. large body Of mount
ed mela gathered on the outskirts of
the town about 10 o'clock at night.
They sent in a committee of two to
sec Mr.. Graham. the sheriff. and to
demand that unless he would promise
10 use his influence with the Cover
nor and with the solicitor to have an
extra term ordered at once to try
Woods. they would take the matter
Into their own hands.
The sheriff pointed out to them
how Useless II would be and how flu
tile to attempt to force an entrance
into the Jail. 1t would take any force
they could bring until daylight to
batter down the doors. The sheriff
promised the committee. however,
thst lie would use every effort in his
power to have the extra term order
Cd at once. This apparently satisfied
rths ,rowd. for after the committee
11 tp them, nothing more was
1ser1 Of them. The crowd. so Far as
known. never entered the town and
waa orderly and quiet. Solicitor Stoll.
