For Paymaster General.

While Secretary Daniels is here
looking into the advantages and pos
sibilities of Charleston harbor and
navy yard, it is not out of order, we
hope, to call his attention to another
asset which Charleston likes to claim,
but would be glad to turn over to him.
Fleet Paymaster Sam MCGOWAN is
South Carolinian of name which has
won honors in war and peace. He is
being prominently mentioned in con-
nection with the position Of paymaster
general, and his friends at home
would be proud to see him there Mr..
MCGOWAN was paymaster of the fleet
on the trip around the world, when
the fleet provisions. were turned over
to the sufferers in the awful calamity
at Messina, thus necessitating a pro-
visioning Of the fleet in foreign lands
and under peculiar circumstance es.
This situation was handled with con-
spicuous ability by Mr.. MCGOWAN, and
his report Of this trip affords most in
teresting reading for laymen as well
as those more nearly concerned.
Mr.. MCGOWAN had taken a full
course in law before he entered the
navy service, an advantage to any
man, no matter what be his final
choice of a profession; he was also
newspaper man, which ought not to
count against him just at present, and
should he receive the appointment,
which his friends are urging for him,
he will surely do credit to his name,
his State and the remarkable admin
istration which seems so far to have
made no false step In it's choice of
erial.-Charleston News and Cour-
ier.

rival at Charleston make their use
for through travel undesirable by
comparison width lhe Southern's
trains. One does not like to crawl
out of bed at 4:30 or o'clock in the
morning to take the o'clock train out
of Charleston. Consequently, the
Coast Lane& Oharlestop-GreenyiM
train is popular in the main for travel
between towns and stations other than
the termini.
Why the Coast Line and its allied
roads do not actively compete for
the passenger traffic between the
southern and northern parts of the
State has been puzzle for long
time and perhaps it will remain un-
solved. 1t is rare that a railroad
company commanding route shor-
ter by an hour than that Of another,
between important cities, deliberate
ly ignores its advantage.-The State.

sometimes the suspicion asserts it
self in ones mind that "a railroad
company knows nothing about its own
business. More often, what the rail-
road company should do is obvious
to the outsider and without advice
from newspapers 1t would of course
be embarrassed. Seriously speaking.
the intelligently managed railroad
watches keenly newspaper expres-
sions, the profits of the railroad be-
ing in the long run dependent upon
the service that 1t offers and the
newspapers being the best expression
OF public opinion.
The Laurens Advertiser prints this
paragraph:
Our monthly suggests that the
morning and evening trains to Co.
lumbia should have Charleston and
Greenville as terminals and that
Pullmans should be carried on both.
We doubted from the first day that the
Pullman service on the midday trains
as tried for some months would prove
popular, but we are sure that the
travelling public would like to see the
same service on the morning and eve
ming trains to and from Columbia as
suggested by Our Monthly These
two trains are used by the business
men to larger extent than the mid
day trains and we believe that, If
Pullmans were put on them they
would be generally patronized.

Washington, May TO- Representa-
tive H. Olin Young of Ishpenming,
Mich, announced in speech in the
house today his intention of resigning
his seat. He discussed the contest
instituted by William j. Mcdonald, a
Progressive, saying 458 votes intended
for Mcdonald had not been counted
for him and he did not feel justified
in holding his seat.
Mr.. Young was O candidate on the
Republican ticket. The State board
of canvassers issued a certificate to
Mr.. Young, declaring he had received
an apparent majority Of 2S1, after
45S ballots cast by mistake for "Shel-
don William j. Mcdonald" had been
thrown out. Mr.. Young declared the
45S electors intended to vote for Nc
Donald and that he did not feel justi-
fled in holding the seat.
Mr.. Young discussed at length the

In husky voice Mr. Young re-
viewed the association during his 10
years service in the house and ex-
pressed his regret at leaving.
Progressive Leader Murdoch, and
representative Hinebaugh of Illinois

and argued in favor of giving Mr..
