WHO WILL THE RE-
PUBLICANS CHOOSE ?

With the Republican National Conven'
tlon now In session and preparing to enter
upon the work Of nominating their ticket
the outcome seems shrouded in doubt
Both the Taft and Roosevelt forces claim
sufficient votes to insure the nomination
OF their favorite. During the greater part
of last week the national executive com
mittee has been engaged in hearing con-
tests among delegates. The result OF
their deliberations has been to seat practi
cally all OF the contested delegates fol-
Taft, having given to him 235, while fol
Roosevelt only 10 have been seated.
One significant fact which shows that
the Roosevelt people are somewhat un'
easy as to the outcome Is the fact that Mr.
Roosevelt himself has gone to Chicago
and taken active charge Of the campaign
In his own behalf.
The bitterness which has all along char
acterized the campaign has been accentu-
ated by the action Of the national commit
tee. The Roosevelt forces have been cry
ing robbery and have seriously threatened
a bolt in the event that the convention
should uphold the decisions OF the execu-
tive committee.
Charges Of bribery have also been made
by both sides.
The corps Of newspaper writer's at the con-
vention, embracing many men Of the high
est distinction in the profession, seems
hopelessly at sea with regard to the out
come. Almost anything seems liable to
take place.
The only people who are apparently
taking the situation with any degree of
equanimity are the Cummins and LaFol-
lette delegates, who will in all probability

SPLENDID SHOW
next MONDAY,
Pamahasika Will Appear With
Trained Birds, Dogs and
Pony, June "a.

Manager Cheatham received yesterday
an acceptance Of his offer for an engage
ment Of Pamahasika, the performance to
be held at the theatre Monday, June "a,
matinee at night. This is rated as one of
the very best numbers Of the Alkahest
Lyceum course and will be sure to please
the children and grOwnups.
Mr. Bristow, who saw Prof. Pamahasika
at the Elberton Chautauqua two weeks
ago, says of this attraction:
"Prof. Pamahasika's pets are well worth
seeing. These birds, dogs and pony are
! all Unusually we'll trained, and their per-
formances are really wonderful. Prof.
Pamahasika has about two dozen canarfes
which do a number OF truly remarka-
BILE feats, riding a miniature merry-go-
round, rolling small barrel, swinging
each other in rings, and the like. About
dozen white Australian cockatoos, belong
ing to the: parrot family and many OF
which talk, fight fire, ringinging the fire
gong, putting up ladder and pouring
buckets OF water on the blaze; they push
wheelbarrow, pull a cart, fire tiny can
non, and do other clever tricks.
"Half dozen purple birds belonging to
the same general family also perform
we'll. very small pony williwin the IA
vor Of every boy in the house, and the
large number Of dogs will captivate every
one who witnesses their stunts Besides
Prof. Pamahasika is a dignified, courteous,
polished gentleman; and his talks to the
young people added to the work OF his
pets is Of great educational value and
moral worth. This attraction is very
valuable"
Inorder that all may have an opportuni-
ty to witness this good attraction. Manager
Cheatham has decided to put ona matinee
and to reduce the price TO Is and rs cents.

In the last issue OF Common Sense, the
Charleston weekly in which the charge OF
graft was first made, appears the follow
Ing editorial. In this article the state
ment is made that Mayor Grace is the re-
sponsible;author:
The statement published in these COL
ums charging wholesale graft by the con-
stables, in the enforcement of the Dis
pensary law in Charleston seems to have
stirred up hornets nest throughout the
State. The further statement that we
have traced this graft practically up to
with tremendous interest and has elected
from the Governor a rather caustic, II in
deed, irrelevant denial, coupled with some
biting epithets. 1t will be noted, however
that what the.Governor says is that any
one who stated that he, Blease, had receiv-
ed graft from Charleston blind tigers was
a coward and liar This is not to the
point. 1t is nonsequitur. Upon it there
can be no issue between the Governor and
us. If we had competent proof to show
that the Governor did himself, in proper.
person, receive this graft, our readers
may rest assured that we would say it.
But we have made no such claim. What
we have said and can abundantly prove, is
that the constables here in Charleston have
received it. Moreover, we say now,
weighing our words we'll, that not only
have they received it, but that the first
thing they did when sent to Charleston
was to organize perfect system Of graft,
that in one first stroke they made a lump
collection Of a large amount, and that ever
since, they have been exacting and collect
ing, according TO the volume OF business
done, stated sum at fixed intervals; and
that these actions have been coincident
with the comings and goings OF
certain persons and personages
whose movements point with utmost
circumstantiality to our conclusion that
the graft is traced practically to the Gov
ernor himself The known facts Of graft
collection are so clear and the conditions
are so convincing that we have for our
selves reached moral conviction in the
matter. Upon the same character OF evil
dence we would under oath find guilty a
person accused OF murder. Whether or
not the Investigating Committee will
reach a different conclusion from our own
remains to be seen."

BALD EAGLE KILLED
NEAR LITTLE MOUNTAIN
Great American Bird Shot Pre-
pairing to SwOop on Child.

David Green killed IA bald eagle at his
home near Little Mountain on the place
owned by DR.. w. A. Hunter, last week.
The bird flew by his house in the direc.
tion Of Troy and in about three hours re-
turned from that direction, alighting In a
tree near the house. A two months old
child was lying In a cradle in the yard.
Green happened to see the bird and got
his gun and shot it. Placing one foot on
the tip of the eagles wing the other wing
tip extended above the head.
The eagle was evidently contemplating
making meal of the child and could easi-
ly have carried it away in its talons.
A wing and foot OF the bird are to be
seen at the Peoples bank. Both indicate
its enormous size and strength.

ready, but it is desired to hear them
again.
The investigating committee was created
to ascertain the truth and source OF Ger.
tain charges made by Governor Blease in
his annual message to the general assem-
bly, last year against the members Of the
"Ansel" board Of investigators, discharged
by Governor Blease, and against the gen.
eral and other persons. To allow the COM
mittee to get the bottom Of these charges
the legislature passed the bill providing
for the investigation OF the dispensary
officials, the governor, the attorney gen.
eral and other persons ? Thus it is seen the
committee has the right to go into "a
thorough investigation. To this end every
person who knows OF any illegal dealings
in connection with affairs Of the old State
dispensary are to be summond by the
mmittee.-Columbia Record.

Hurt Fishermen's Business.

A strange story comes from From
tignan, Herault. France. Recently 700
gallons of confiscated wine were
thrown into canal there by the Gus
toms officers. But the wine had the
effect of intoxicating the fish, which
swim on the top of the water and can
be picked out by hand. The house
wives refuse to buy fish when they
can get them for themselves, and the
fishermen in the district have United
to protest against the action of the
customs officers.
