POLITICAL POT IS BUBBLING.
News and Gossip About the Campaign
This Summer.

This Summer.
In the closing days Of the general
assembly the political pot bubbles a
little more than ever. AS the summer
time draweth nearer and nearer those
whose eyes are centred upon guberna-
torial honors are watching the turn of
political events, and are framing their
platforms and basing their hopes
thereon.
II there is one man in South Carolina
who can tell today with any degree of
certainty who the next governor Of the
state will be, he deserves to be ranked
with the prophets Of old. Even more
so than in the days when there were
grave political issues before the peo-
pie, is the task Of picking the win
ner" difficult.
It must always have something OF
whisky in it, this South Carolina plat
form. For generations this question
has vexed South Carolinians. Yet fresh
in the minds of politicians and others
Is the state dispensary fight, then the
establishment Of the county dispensa-
ry system after the old state dispen-
sary had passed away. Then came
this new wave-prohibition Although
no governor has gone into office upon
the pillows Of that heavy seat so ap-
pears to bet has been a platform
more than once. And again it will be.
Possibilities In the Race.
During the approaching campaign. in
so far as whisky and alleged absti-
nence from it are concerned, there will
be three platforms supporting candi-
dates as follows, as the situation ap-
pears today:
/. A prohibition candidate.
2. A local option candidate.
8. A high license candidate.
Just at this stage Of the game those
whose caps will fit the above bid fair
to be: c. C. Featherstone, prohibition
candidate (announced;) r. I. Manning,
local option; T. G. Mcleod, high IL
cense.
In addition to these three upon speci-
fic platforms, Cole L. Blease Of New
berry, will be in the race with his u.s.
ual vigor. F. H. Hyatt Of Columbia,
has also been mentioned by his friends
for the race. However, only two have
come out officially and they are: Cole
L. Blease and c. c. Featherstone. John
G. Richards Of Kershaw, has also been
urged to run, but so far there has been
no definite announcement from him as
to whether or not be would be in the
race. J. Fraser Lyon, attorney general,
had pressure brought to bear that he
run, but it is stated by his friends that
he will not be in the race.
In this interesting lineup Of possi-
bilities for the gubernatorial battle
there ought to be some development OF
more than usual import. The proba-
bility Of the withdrawal Of at least one
of the above named candidates, II not
two or three, will only add to the stiff
ness Of the conflict in the summer,
when the running will be the hardest

CHAPTER XIII.

Brand, busily engaged in writing the
caption for the cut that was to reveal
Bartelmy in his true light, was inter
rupted once more-tnis time by the en-
trance Of the greenish hued face of the
poet reporter, Powell.
You sent for me, sir?" asked the
new scribe.
80 you've covered suicide?" said
Brand.
"Powow's," eyes rolled wildly. He
clasped his hands and his knees shook
in his horror at what he had learned.
"On, yessir-a terrible sight! I shall
dre-e-a-m Of it, sir. It would take q
Dante to write Of it. Oh, r.
What was this girls name?" asked
Brand in matter Of fact tones.

Madeline what?"
Her last name," the poet asked
dazedly. 81 guess I don't remember
Oh, yes, it was jerks - Madeline

Mopocs, EXILE ENDED.
They Return Not to the Lava Beds Of
California, But TO Oregon.

They Return Not to the Lava Beds OF
California, But 10 Oregon.
The Modoc Indians In Oklahoma are
going home-not to the lava beds In
California, whence they were taken to
the Quapaw Indian reservation nearly
forty years ago, but to the klamath
reservation Of the Modocs In Oregon.
where they will get lands In exchange
for their allotments in Oklahoma. It
is a peculiarly Of the Modoc that he
desires to die on the spot where he
was born. The Modocs have been
homesick ever since they went to Ok
lahoma, and their return to the north
west is the result Of their constant APP
peal to the authorities at Washington.
The removal Of the Modocs to Ok
lahoma followed their defeat after
their bloody campaign against govern
ment troops in the lava beds where
they were commanded by Capt Jack.
They assassinated and butchered ell
except two Of the peace commission
sent to them by the secretary Of war
When the Modocs reached Oklahoma
there were thirty-nine men. afty-four
women and sixty children. many Of
whom were sorely wounded. Among
them were such notable leaders as
Scarfaced Charley, Steamboat Frank
and Shacknasty Jim. Their arrival In
Baxter Springs Is well remembered by
old citizens. Age and disease nave cut
down the Modocs until only sixty re-
main. Nearly all their old leaders
have died.
In going to the klamath country,
from which they fed when they en-
tered the lava beds in California,
these Modocs will be among the Kia-
math Modocs, whom they thoroughly
hate and despise because Of the arro-
gance of the klamath band. The Ok
lahoma Modocs were moved from Cal
ifornia to Oregon, only to have their
Oregon kinsmen say to them:
"You can stay here, but It Is our
country. Your horses can eat the
grass, but 1t is our grass You can
catch fish, but they are our fish,"
This was more than Capt. Jack and
his people could bear, and they stole
away and returned to their old haunts
in California. When the Federal gov
ernment tried to make them 90 back
to Oregon the Modocs began fighting,
and sought refuge I'm the inaccessible
lava beds. The commission establish
ed its camp about two miles from the
retreat Of the Modocs in the lava beds
and midway was pitched tent at
which the council should be held.
No sooner had the commissioners
assembled In the tent than they found
that death was at hand. Capt Jack
suddenly shot Gen. Candy, adviser Of
the commissioners. Canbyis throat
was cut and his uniform stolen. The
Rev. Eleazer Thomas, commissioner,
also was slain and his body robbed
and mutilated. Two Of the commits
sioners escaped.
The United States government then
put a large body Of troops In the field,
and the Modocs were pursued night
and day until they surrendered. oc-
tober 2, 1873, Capt Jack. Black Jim,
Boston Charley and Schronchin Jim
were hanged at Fort klamath, Ore
gon, for the murder Of Candy and
Thomas. Soon afterward the Califor-
MIA Modocs were taken to Indian Ter
ritory. Kansas City Times.

SulIy Likened to Scales.

Possibly Mr.. Sullys suerilla-like
advent into the cotton market a few
years ago may be best likencd IN the
suddenness with which his PERSONAL
ity and purpose dazzled New York for
time with the recent appearance OF
Mr.. Scales.
"These, however. are mere incl
dental considerations, superficial as
poets of some of the individuals and
some of their purposes, whose careers
they typify in recent American at
tempts practically to corner some one
of the greater American agricultural
products. Something Of much greater
Importance than the mere monetary
consideration Of Mr.. Scales and the
others or any view Of the personal &c
centricities or peculiarities lies behind
these immediate aspects. Mr.. Scales

evitable phenomena associated with
opportunity to enter a market where
prices and to some extent values are
fixed by competitive bidding, the COM
modify being an American agricultural
product.

Welt today made his first statement re-
garding the candidacy of his nephew,
Theodore Douglas Robinson, who Is
seeking the congressional nomination In
Herkimer and Oneida counties, New
York. Mr. Robinson had lunch with
Colonel Roosevelt today. The statement
in part follows:
"Mr. Robinson told me that he did not
desire me to take any part whatever In
the nomination because he especially de-
sired this matter should be settled by his
neirhbors in Herkimer and Oneida with
out any outside interference of any kind'
but he desired to know whether In the
event of his nomination l would come up
and speak for him. 1 told him that OF
course l would, for 1 have long hoped
that he would go into active politics, be-
cause I have high regard for his 1udg-
ment and ability and he and I are In
accord in our views Of public questions.
Douglas Robinson took luncheon with
Mr. Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt placed
himself on record. The Twenty seventh
district was represented in Congress for
marv wears by James Sherman now vice
president who was succeeded by Charles
S. Millington.

In this connection he mentioned the

defend the schedule.
"The advances in the cotton sch edule

he, "and the owners seek to float more

Barcelona. Spain, July 1S.-Great excite

of the Barcelona riots of July q, 1909, is
apparent in government and police circles.
The rioting began as protest against
the prosecution of the campaign against
the tribesmen on the Riff coast in Moroc-
co. The calling out of reservists to rein
force the army was followed by a general
strike, the burning of churches and mon
astic institutions. and the shedding OF
much blood.
The Carlists and republicans are now
holding opposition meetings and the sit
uation is complicated by the threat of the
workmen's organization to call q general
