SCHOOL DAY APPROACHING.
Many to Take Part i'm Exercises aud
Many More to be Heard From.

School Day." the day Of all the
year which pupils have been looking
forward to with great expectations OF
pleasure, is approaching rapidly and
the committee in charge Of the pro-
gram are rounding their work into
shape so that every feature Of it car.
be carried through without a hitch G.
flaw on the eventful day. Mr.. w. h
Scott who is in charge Of the ar
rangement of the program exercises,
has heard from many schools and
boys and girls making known to him
the contests in which they will take
part. but there are still a number of
schools which he has not heard from,
and many pupils who should take
part in the contests who have not
yet signified this TO be their inten-
ton.
Schools and pupils have until the
first day of April in which to make
their entries, any pupil being entitled
TO enter any of the contests for which
he is legible or as many of them as
he or she desires, and they must
make these entries by that time or
they will be debarred from taking
part in the contests. Prof. Scott has
great deal of work to do in con-
nection with the program and it will
be comforting a favor on him for the
pupils to let him know what contests
they expect to enter as soon as they
can make their decisions. School Day
will be held on Saturday. April 18Th
this year and Superintendent of Ed
ucatiOn HaynswOrth and the commit
tee in charge of the program have
been much pleased to note the in
terest which teachers and schools are
taking in the event and if this IN
terest continues, and it is very likely 1
To increase as the time approaches.
the school Day exercises this year are
expected TO be much more successful
than they We're last year, when every
body WAS we'll pleased with the sue
csss OF the undertaking.

T.. ID. SMITH IN WILSON RANK
Senator Decides Whom He Will sup
port for Nomination,

Washington, March 17.-Senator
f. ID. Smith, Of South Carolina, who
has up to this time refused to COM
NIT himself to any candidate for the
Democratic Presidential nomination,
and who Las several times denied ru-
mors that he had allied himself with
the supporters of this or that aspir-
ant, now definitely places himself in
the Woodrow Wilson camp. His
reasons for espousing the cause of
the Governor of New Jersey are set
forth by the Senator as follows 4
II have heard Governor Wilson
speak on three separate occasions on
TWO OF these occasions it was wher>
others asspirng for the Presidency
also spoke. At the jackson Day BAN
quet. held in the city of Washington
Democrats aspiring for the Presi-
dental nomination spoke together
with him. In Philadelphia, at the
Periodical Publishers banquet, I
heard Governor Wilson. Aspirants
for the Republican nomination also
spoke. On both occasions he Impress
ed me as being a profound student of
the philosophy of government. / COM
slider that his expressions as to the
theory of government, and the COM
parison of this theory with that now
in practical existence, were by odds
the clearest and most convincing Of
any expressed on these several occa-
sions. He, of course, as a student anoJ
college president would be considered
and is a considered, by a great num-
Der theorist, but his every utterance
indicates that he has a clear compre-
hension of the fact that the so-called
practical politics is but another narne
for the corruption and corrupting
tendencies that must sooner or later
undermine the very foundation of our
republican form of government, by
increasing the army of malcontents as
"Sii 90 NHS UiiJuSlly NUMBER
of those specially favored.
Il believe that Governor Wilson isj
the most available candidate that the
Democrats have in the field for the
Presidency. His work as Governor Of
New Jersey in bringing into the field
of Democracy state otherwise hope
lessly Republican, his elimination of
boss rule and corruption in that State
illustrates his ability to put into prac-
tice as a National Executive the
theory that he advocates. / am con-
vinced, in the light of his political
career in New Jersey. his public ut
terances as candidate for the Presi-
dency and, above all, the frenzied op-
opposition towards him of certain
newspapers, periodicals and indivt-
duals, that he is the most favorable
candidate the Democrats can nomin-
ate for the Presidency against any
nominee of Republican party.

SAYS SEABOARD SURELY COM
ING.
Georgetown Man Convinced the Sys-
tenn is Making for Charleston.

Charleston Evening Post.
The Seaboard Air Line is certainly
coming TO Charleston, and it's route
will most probably be by the way of
Georgetown, according 70 the state
ment made here today by a George
town man who said that all through
his section there is talk of the big
railroad system means business and
that Charleston as we'll as the city on
the Sampit is to share in the benefits
of the new railroad development.
Construction is progressing rapid
~ according to the Georgetown man,
and it will not be many weeks before
the road to Marion will be open, and
the trains of the Seaboard Air Line
will be moving into and out of
Georgetown over the tracks of the
Georgetown and Western Railroad as
far as Andrews, whence the road will
use its own tracks.
The Seaboard Air Line is not ad-
mitting that it is engaged in the ac-
tive construction which is in progress
about Georgetown, but everybody
seems to know that this system is
haying the work done. On a stretch
OF roadway toward Charleston, 90
pound rails are being laid and trestle
and culvarf construction -, 10 Co.. tbo
use Of lumber mill, according to the
statements Of the contractors, but
nobody is foolish enough to accept
the statement that such a substan-
tial roadway would be built at the
cost that this work is being done,
simply to haul lumber. A number of
the other sections Of railroad work
are also being done on similar pre-
text Of improvement of transportation
facilities OF lumber mills, but these
sections are all fitting In as a part of
the system Of the Seaboard Air Line.
which will doubtless be publicly an
nounced in time.
The Charleston and Northwestern
railroad, which is projected cut of
Mount Pleasant, having been char
tered some months ago is also thought
to be part Of the system. Here again,
1t is announced that the road is
backed by lumber companies, but
1t will be doubtless seen in course Of
time that the character of construc-
ton will prove of a more substantial
and enduring character than such as
OF timber.
1t is in connection with this road
that talk centers of Mount Pleasant
becoming the terminal of the Sea-
board Air Line rather than in Char
lesion. The plan which is talked
about is for extensive freight terminal
tracks of the railroad system, at the
foot of Society street, thus saving the
cost of trackage arrangements with
the Coast Line and the Southern Rail-
way on Charleston Neck" Arrange
ments would, however, doubtless be
made for part use Of the union sta
ton by the system for its passenger
business.
