Race Horse Sold.

Recently Jones Bros. sold one OF
their race horses, Boralma, to Pen
dleton & Co., of st. Louis, Mo. This
was a green trotter which had been
developed by Jones Bros. on their
training track here, and he had
shown a speed Of something like
2.15 in the trials. This horse was
sold to Pendleton & Co. for racing
and was sold on his breeding, the
purchasers never having seen him
However, they have written to Jones
Bros. that they are we'll pleased
with the horse. Boralma will be
entered in the stake races In the
grand circuit this coming season
and it is expected that the horse will
give a good account Of himself
Jones Bros. have on hand several
green trotters at present, which
they are developing. Bambers
is not only a large market fol
horses and mules, but for rae
ing horses as well. Jones Bros
have a training track just out OF
town, and every season they work
several trotters.

MORE NEGRO CONTESTANTS?
Believed in Washington that is OBJ
ject of Capers's Activity.

Washington, April 4.-Dispatches
here to-day from South Carolina to
the effect that former District At
torney, and later commissioner o. in.
ternal revenue, John G. Capers was in
that State organizing the Republi-
cans, and that he would put candi-
date out in each Of the seven dis
tricts for Congress to oppose the
seven Democrats, who are now serv-
ing from that State, has caused con-
siderable gossip in Washington
political circles.
It is believed that Capers IS car
rying out the orders Of Postmaster
General Hitchcock in the effort to
land the Republicans, while there Is
not the ghost of a show for them to
oust the present Democrats. The
present members of the House would
not discuss the matter when ap-
preached on the subject to-day, ex-
cept to say that if Capers's proteges
could get into Congress they were
welcome to do so.
Anyone who is familiar with con-
ditions In South Carolina knows that
there are just enough white Republi-
cans of standing in the State to sup
ply the postoffice, internal revenue
and a few other Federal positions.
These ofice-holders will not sacrifice
their present places even to make
the race for Congress. The upshot OF
the situation is that in addition to
the two contestants now trying for
the first and seventh district seats,
five more would be added and a.
lowed $4,000 each from the Govern
ment for making the contests. They
would get a total of $4,000 from
the Federal treasury every two years,
more than they would probably earn
at home. The dangerous feature OF
the matter, as viewed here, is that
in the lower part of the State, where
the negroes out number the whites
in many OF the counties, the former
will undoubtedly claim that they
have representation, and it is feared
that race trouble might result should
the situation become acute. -

Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, April 4.-Good old sum-
mer time weather is what we have
been having for nearly a week; rath-
er, dry, however, for planting crops.
The old farmers are divided in their
predictions as to rain. Some say
will have q wet spring, others say
will not have enough to make good
crop-going to be very dry. These
heavy fogs for some time all go down
and none up is their sign. Both pre-
dict1ons can't be true in one year, so
will not be able to say which is right
until later on.

At on time a movement was on
foot to remove the place of worship
to Govan, but all of the members
would not give their assent and the

ly would those be expected to give

sacred shrine. No-let the church
remain there, as a monument to those
who lent their energies to the cause
the few who sleep silently in the
bosom of mother earth, and to those
too who came later and united with
the church-that have launched
their barks too on the unknown sea
of futurity.
