PLYING HIS TRADE.

A man who had been caught
in raid on a gambling house
was arraigned, not long ago, be-
fore a magistrate.
"What is your trader" the
magistrate asked.
81 am a locksmith, sir"
"And what were you doing in
the gambling denY pursued the
magistrate. "What We're YOU
doing when the police entered!'
The locksmith looked into the
magistrates face with an eX-
preston of sublime innocence.
"Why, your honor" he an
swered, 81 was making a bolt
for the door"

How About statehood?

If you be seer or prophet the
statehood problem offers a good
opportunity for the exercise Of
your gift. President Taft has
put his veto OH the flood resolu-
ton and sent his message to
congress denouncing the Judi
ciary recall feature of the Ari-
IONA constitution and it has been
referred to the territories COM
mittee Of the house. What will
happen next! The fellow who
can answer that question is en-
titled to carry off first prize at
the guessing match. Senator
Smith of Michigan thinks he
can solve the problem and is
now juggling with the ! uzzle.
He has introduced a new state
hood resolution providing for
the admission Of both territories
on condition that Arizona strike
out the provision iii its consti-
tuition providing for the recall
of judges, and thinks such a
resolution will now pass ana will
meet the views OF the president,
and this is the only hope, for il
is not believed that either house
will pass the flood resolution
over the presidents veto. We
may get statehood yet bpfole
this session adjourns, but there
Is too much doubt element in
the proposition to inspire very
great confidence. Our advice is
if you have a bee in your bonnet
and contemplate becoming a
candidate for governor, S a t e
treasure or other office depend
ing on the votes of the dear peo-
pie in a state election, you would
better wait few days yet before
you mortgage your bulros and
hack for money to make your
campaign. Or if you are al
ready holding the office of CON
stable of your precinct or deputy
game and fish warden, school
director or Justice of the peace.
don't resign and take any long
chances of am immediate call to

ing politics at Washington and

the jackpot nor which hand will
win the chips.

CITY Council Criticised.

The telling of tree within the in
corporate limits of town should, in
any circumstances, be regarded Sc
rious matter and that is queer pro-
ceeding reported from Bamberg. The
town council, which goes out of office
in four months, employed men with
axes and lin the dead of the night
caused the trees in Main street" to
be cut down, choosing the cover of
darkness in anxiety lest the citizens
protest. Only extraordinary reasons
excuse the performance of any act by
public officials in the dark. In the
absence of more detailed informa-
ton, we withhold any opinion of the
propriety of the Bamberg aldermen's S
peculiar doings-though it must be
said that if the action in cutting the
trees was clearly wise and praise
worthy the manner of doing it seems
the more absurd on that account.
Sometimes a bitter dose such as
castor oil is justifably administered
to a child by parent under false
pretenses but even though the Bam-
berg aldermen are "city fathers" it
does not follow that their constitu-
ents are babies.-Columbia State.

Reds and Blacks i'm Court.

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 14.-Scores
of negroes and Indians came here to-
day to be examined by the federal
grand jury in regard to the operation
of the granfather clause of the State
election law.
One old SCARED and crippled ne
gro veteran of the Civil War came
into the court room accompanied by
his son, who was in the American
army during the war with Spain.
Neither of them was allowed to vote
at the last general elections. The
negroes were talkative and objected
to the law strenuously, but the In
dians who are voters in Oklahoma,
sat by themselves, morose and quiet.
Federal Judge Cotteral in his in
structions to the grand jury said
that the fifteenth amendment of the
federal constitution was still a part
of the supreme law Of the land, and
that it could not be subrogated by
any State law.

The new county which Mr.. j. U.

portions of Aiken and Edgefeld is
fifty-four miles long and is three
miles broad at its narrowest point.
A county of such shape as this ought
to be defeated.
For some time there has been a
persistent rumor going the rounds
that the ticket collectors were to be
discontinued by the Southern Rail-
way. Now the comptroller of the
system comes out and says the COL
lectors will stay, as the results fully
warrant their continuance.
Gov. Ansel has granted pardon
to J. B. Ross, who was convicted in
Barnwell county on the charge of en-
tering the county treasurers office
with intent to steal in 1908 and CIV
en- a sentence of five years. There
were several letters from those in
Barnwell county, familiar with the
case, which stated that there was
some doubt as to the guilt of Ross,
the evidence which convicted him
being circumstantial.
