estly, earnestly and persistently for
the people they are supposed to serve.
1t has always been so and so it will al
WAYS be. AS to whether there is room
for another morning paper in Column
bia, we are doubtful: but that is no
special disbursement to the proposed
new venture. The field is open and
il can try. OF course the State has a
tremendous advantage in its long es-
tablishment, and even if other things
are equal the new venture will have to
overcome that advantage before it can
regard itself as on an equal footing.
If the new paper ever shows signs of
becoming an organ, it will fail misera-
bly,, Just as the State will be the loser
if it puts itself in position to be con-
victed of fagrant unfairness. But,
however, this fight may turn out, of
one thing the people of South Carolina
may look forward to with confidence
and that is unless the new paper de-
velops a complete fZzle, which we do
not look for under the management of

- Columbia, October 8: Mr. George
r. Koester representing those inter-
ested in the News Publishing COM
pany. commissioned yesterday with
$50, 900 capital to publish new morn
ing daily newspaper in Columbia, says
he hopes to have his first issue out by
January l. Mr.. Koester and Mr.. d.
w. Robinson, a Columbia attorney, are
the cOrporators. Mr.. Koester is well
known in Charleston. He began news
paper work there, serving as reporter
on the Charleston World. In Colum-
bia he was first reporter and then
managing editor on the Register.
Thirteen years ago he founded the Co
lumbia Daily Record. His holdings
in that enterprise he sold In March,
1909. to Mr.. James A. Hoyt, the pres
ent editor and general manager. Dur
ing his temporary retirement from
newspaper work Mr. Koester has con-
Quoted a real estate and insurance
business here. In regard to the pro-
posed new paper he has made the fol-
lowing statement: This Is the first
authoritative statement as to the new
paper that has been given out. Much
idle gossip and rumor has been pub
lished and circulated in regard there
to. An erroneous impression has gone
out among some that the new paper
is to be an organ Of the incoming gu
bernatorial administration. Nothing Is
further from the purposes and inten-
tion of those connected with the new
paper. 1t is to be essentially a news
paper, will be owned and controlled
| by business men in all sections Of
South Carolina, without regard to po-
litical associations or affiliations. The
| plan Of the company in brief Is to
place the control of the newspaper for
a term Of years I'm the hands Of nine
representative men of the state, who
will be under pledge to make the pa
per adhere to the course mapped out
above. No person who is the occu-
pant of a political office or n candidate
| for a political office can be member
of this board Of control. and the mere
announcement of candidacy for po-
litical office by any member Of the
board will ipso facto vacate his posi-
ton on the board"

The latest statement about the OBJ
jeCt of the new morning paper. the
publication of which is to he COM
menced in Columbia soon, gives prom
ise of more stability for that enterprise
than was suggested by previous state
ments. That the Columbia State has
been very unfriendly to Mr.. Blease,
there is no question. and that he should
anticipate that this unfriendliness will
continue is natural. 1t is as certain
too. as anything can be, that he cannot
succeed in his office unless the people
of the state can have some way of
knowing what he is doing. The only
way for the dissemination of this in
formation is through the newspapers.
But as to whether he needs an organ
is doubtful. We do not think he does.
Columbia state cannot hurt Mr.. BleaSe
much. If it should attempt to be un-
fair, fair minded people will know
how To discount it. If Mr.. Blease has
an organ ana lIldl organ uIlNltl l'thtS
to be unfair in his favor, the people
will know how to discount it. Two
papers. one for and the other against,
will keep Mr. Blease in the white light
all the while. and whether or not he
will stand will depend upon what there
is in him. But the people of South
Carolina will not support a personal
organ for Mr. Blease, or anybody else.
We have never known the people to
support such an organ for anybody at
any time. individuals can do the trick
for a time; but they invariably get
tired. No personal organ can ever win
the confidence and respect of the pco-
pie. We have known individuals to
get control of newspapers that have
won the confidence and respect of the
people and in their continued operation
try To direct their influence to person
al benefit: but even this rarely lasts
for long. To command confidence and
respect, newspapers must work hon

Progress Of the Boil WeeviI-The

Progress Of the Boil Weevil.-The
following statement Of boil weevil dis
persion up to September Is, 1910, is
made by w. Dwight Pierce, bureau Of
entomology. United States govern
ment laboratory, Dallas Texas:
No work has been done upon the
line Of infection Of Oklahoma. The in
tested line in Arkansas has fallen back
about fifteen miles of the western cor
ner but slightly passes the 1909 line
in the vicinity Of Little Rock and from
there comedies with the 1909 line
until 1t reaches Lamont, in Bolivar
county. in Mississippi. The fine runs
on a diagonal from Lamont to the
southwestern line Of Sunfower county
thence to Beelake. in Holmes county,
thence to Lexington through Sails. in
Atlanta county, then turns abruptly
south at Plattsburg, In Winston coun-
ty. and then passes three miles east Of
Newton. in Newton county, halfway
between Heidelburg and Strlnger, in
Jasper county. crosses into Wayne
county directly east OF Ellisville juno
ton, and probably leaves the state Of
Mississippi at Stateline. In Alabama
the infestation crosses the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad at Fruitdale, in Wash
ington county. turning south passing
east Of Citronelle to the head Of Mo-
bile day.
The line is moving so rapidly east
ward that even at the present writing
1t has probably moved twenty or more
miles further.
A statement of this nature will be
issued as soon as possible following
the 18th Of each month until the dis
persion Is ended.

to the porter: THAT other gentleman
has paid for my supper" and took
back the half dollar.
There is story also that Jones
talked freely to travelling men, telling
them of his venture up in York cOun-
ty, boasting that he had previously
served a term i'm a Federal prison, and
declaring that with a bunch of blank
checks he had in his pocket, he was
going to take $4,000 out of Atlanta.
The local comment about the whole
incident is about one thing and is
summed up in wonder at the idea that
the individual who steals incurs very
little risk beyond having to make good
in the event he is caught, unless may
be he should be mixed up in a Federal
court, when he has to meet additional
penalties.

Atlanta. Ga, October s: Thee

Atlanta. Ga, October s. Theo-
dore Roosevelt tonight disclamed re-
sponsbility for the tariff plank in the
New York State Republican platform.
In doing so he replied to criticisms
which have been directed against
him. particularly by some of the So
called "insurgent" Republicans in the
west to the effect that he talked one
kind of politics i'm the west, and an
other kind i'm the east. This criticism
was based largely on the fact that
while he did not indOrse the Payne
tariff law i'm any of his western
speeches. the tariff plank of the New
York Republican platform commend
ed the bill. Col Roosevelt made II
clear in his speech tonight that he mad
not indorsed the Payne law and that
No did not agree with the New York
tariff plank. He said that he would
stand on his speech as temporary
chairman of the New York Republi-
can convention. i'm which he COM
mended parts of the Payne law, but
did not indorse it as a whole. Col.
Roosevelt's speech was delivered at
the Uncle Remus day celebration mere.
He began his address with an appre-
ciation of the life and works OF Joel
Chandler Harris, author of the Uncle
Remus tales. Then he turned to ms
recently cnunciated doctrine of the
new natiOnalism. "In speaking 10 you

Cure For Pellaqra.-After suffering

Cure For Pellagra.-After suffering
with pellagra for two years, says an
Atlanta dispatch, Mrs. NJ. E. Bush. of
Milledgeville, Ga. may be restored to
health as the result Of her two broth
ers giving up their blood in aid to the
TRANSMISSION theory which the attend
ing physicians had decided was the
last hope of saving her life.
Robert l.. Virgins, professor Of En-
glish at Wofford college. Spartanburg.
S. c., went to the operating table at
the local hospital where Mrs. Bush is
a patient and gave up one pint Of
blood in the effort to save her life.
Two days ago another brother, Rev.
Stirling p. Virgins, pastor Of the First
Methodist church of Milledgeville, Ga.
made a similar sacrifice for Mrs.
Bush. Before the first infusion Mrs.
Bush's pulse registered $50. Almost
Immediately following the operation it
dropped to 126 and her temperature
fell from 103a to 101.
After the operation yesterday the
attending physicians announced that
Mrs. Bush's condition was very en-
couraging 1t was also announced
that recent experiments with blood
infusion in Mobile, Ala, had resulted
in at least half a dozen cures in pella-
gra cases.
