OF the fifty votes east in the senate
for the finance committees amend
ment placing a duty of $3.50 on
sawed lumber in the place of the 81
rate fixed by the house, eleven were
cast by Democratic senators. OF the
twenty-eight negative votes, sixteen
were cast by Republican senators. OF
the twenty-three Democrats voting on
the proposition, twelve were for the
lower and eleven for the higher rate.
II the Democratic strength had main
tained a solid front the vote in the
senate would have been a tie, giving
the deciding vote to the vice-presi-
dent, who. no doubt, would have sup
ported the finance committee. While
1.-THE eleven Democrats probably could
mot have prevented the higher rate,
they have embarrassed their party by
voting in direct opposition to the
platform pledges and they are not in
la position to charge the Republican
majority with the violation OF its
promises to the country in failing to
revise the tariff downward.
The increase in the rate on pine
apples at the request Of the Demo-
cratic senators from Florida also puts
the Democrats in an unfortunate posi-
ti1A. since Democratic strength was
largely responsible for a change in a
rate offered by the committee but an
increase rather than reduction.
Mr.. Bailey continues TO insist that
free raw material is not a part OF the
Democratic policy and has not been
since 1886. The truth is, 1t is diff
cult to say rust what has been the at
,titude OF the Democratic party on the
tariff. A majority OF tie party un-
doubtedly favors the general principle
OF revenue tariff, but the applica-
ton of this principle opens the ways
for wide difference OF opinion as to
details.
\ There is a suspicion that some
democratic senator's as we'll as some

No truer word was ever spoken
than that the newspaper is not fulfill
ing its function. IL its pages do not
reflect the happenings OF the day. II
they are filled with murder stories, 1t
must be that murders are being COM
united. And how can we set about TO
effect reform without knowing that
reform is needed? The prude should
not attack the newspaper for publish
ing the news. but go to the cause,
which produces the news.

that prompted Eastman to commit
murder and suicide. leaving a lie al

his pursuers. Human nature, un-
changed in the least degree from the

GOVERNOR McSWEENEY.
Short Sketch OF His Life That is
Very Interesting.

Miles Benjamin McSweeney was
born in Charleston April 1S, 1855.
Four years later his father died OF
yellow fever, and the orphaned boy
was left to MIKE his own way
through the world. At the age of 10
he was selling newspapers. Later
he clerked in bookstore and at
the same time attended night school.
He served an apprenticeship as
job printer and worked for news
papers in Charleston and Columbia.
He won the Washington and Lee
university scholarship offered to
members of the Charleston Typo
,raphical union, but owing to lack
of means his college career was
restricted to a very short term.
In 1877 Mr.. McSweeney moved to
Ninety-Six, where he published the
Ninety-Six Guardian until 1879,
when he removed to Hampton and
began the publication Of The Hamp-
ton County Guardian, which he COR
tinued until within few months OF
his death. For eight years Mr.. Nc
Sweeney was president of the South
Carolina Press association.
In addition to his journalistic pur-
suits MIR. McSweeney played prom
inent part in South Carolina poll
tics. For 10 years-from 1884 TO
lS94-he was chairman Of the
Hampton county Democratic eXecu-
tive committee. In 1894 he was
elected to the State Legislature and
in 1896 became lieutenant governor,
which place he filled until 1899.
when he succeeded to the governor
ship on the death Of Gov. w. II.
Ellerbee.
In 1904 he was elected governor.
At the expiration of his term he
retired from politics and devoted
himself to the interests Of The Guar
dian. For several years Mr.. NC
Sweeney was member Of the State
Democratic executive committee.

During the month of June there can
be seen due south and very high up in
the heavens, a great red star that must
attract even the most careless eye.
This is Arcturus, the brightest star in
in the northern hemisphe of the sky
and also one of the most remarkable.
Though to the naked eye it seems quite
fixed among its neighbor stars-mod-
ern telescope observations would show
within few months that 1t was moving
southwark. Since the days of Ptolemy
it has moved over a distance equal to
fuily twice the moon apparent DAM
eter, and, even to the naked eye, it no
longer fits the alignments with other
stars which Ptolemy described. Its
real motion is very rapid-about 100
miles per second, according to the lat
est measures of its distance, which put
it rather nearer than the previous deter
limitations, and show that its light takes
forty or fifty years to reach US. On the
same data, it is about $50 times as
bright as our sun; so that it is altogether
a very imposing luminary.
