The Columbia Record has under
taken the agitation of the question OF
nominating the Democratic presiden-
tial candidate by means of primary
election. Messrs. Bryan, Wilson and
Harmon have declared themselves as
favoring the idea, and the Record is
now seeking expressions from Champ
Clark and Alton B. Parker. There can
be no Democratic objection to the idea;
but it might be very we'll to provide that
no one shall vote in the primary un-
less qualified to vote in the general
election. else our nominee might be
named by the fioaters who were in
Europe yesterday, here today. and back
again tomorrow 1t will have to he ad-
mtted that South Carolina has suf-
fered more or less from conditions OF
this kind.

with attempted bribery of H. H. Evans,
q former member of the dispensary
board
The contention of Mr.. Felder's at
torneys that the requisition papers
were inadequate because they lacked
affidavits to indicate that any person
had specific knowledge Of the alleged
offense, was sustained by Governor
Brown. The papers merely included a
copy of a warrant charging that one

ers Union was re-organiZed in this
county yesterday after an earnest and
forceful talk to the farmers assembled
by Mr.. ]. B. O'Neal Holloway, state
organizer. The Union has been dead

Gus locals.
At a meeting Of the state board of
education last Saturday, Governor
Blease made an extended statement
In which he made 1t clear that there
would be no change In the board, as
intimated In recent newspaper re-
ports. He said that he had not threat
ened to bring about a change, and
that as usual his attitude with regard
to the matter had been misrepresent-
ed. He expressed the conviction that
the board would get along nicely with
Its work, and there would be no fric-
ton.

raw wool imports as against an aver
age duty of little more than A per
cent ad valorem under the present
law. On partly manufactured wool and
on products manufactured in whole
or in part from wool, the average duty
under the proposed law would be about
42.5 per cent ad valorem as compared
with the present average ad valorem
duty of more than 80 per cent. The
ways and means committee has esti-
mated that the bill would reduce the
annual revenue under the woolen
schedule of the tariff by little more
than $l,00O,00O. The bill prescribes
that it shall be in effect January l.,
next, but it is not believed that the
bill will pass the senate at this ses-
sion.

in which to make such an extended in
spection as would be warranted by the
many interesting experiments that are
being carried on along different lines;
but from the roadside even, it was
easy to get an idea of the broad and
philanthropic scope of the owners
operations. This farm is deemed
worthy of especial mention now for
the reason that it is so evident that
the people of South Carolina are going
to hear a great deal more Of it in
the future.

bound to establish confidence and
prosperity to an extent not dreamed
of few months ago. Every indica-
ton points to a bright and prosperous
year.
The reports of Bradstreets' and
Dun's are to the effect that the back
bone of the depression has been bro
ken. Those agencies and all trade
journals of whatsoever class take a
cheerful and hopeful view of the fu-
ture. Trade is picking up in every
line in the eastern and central cities.
Reports from the coast indicate that
trade is good there; money is compar-
atively easy; and building activity is
marked. Such being the case on all
sides of us it is impossible that such
should long fail of being the case in
this immediate section even though we
had nothing of our own to effect the
change. But were the rest of the
country still in a stage of depression
it could not hold us back under the
circumstances.
The Tribune looks forward to a year
of great progress and development
throughout Idaho. The south, the
southeast, the center, the southwest
and the north, all give promise of ac-
tivity and development work. The
southern part of the state is the sec
ton we are particularly interested in.
There will be more irrigation and pow
er enterprises undertaken during the
next year than in any previous ten
years in the history of Idaho. Irriga-
ton means agricultural prosperity
for the state. Power means first
transportation facilities and second
manufacturing enterprises, The mines
and forests of the state continue to
produce wealth. The livestock in
terests suffered this year but they will
revive in the immediate future. The
worst is past for the cattle and sheep
men.
He would indeed be pessimist of
the deepest dye who could look upon
the future of Idaho with misgivings,
Of all Idaho this section has the
brightest future and that Immediately.
