SCHOOL INSPECTION.

There is much being said
these days about medical inspec.
tion in the public schools, and
great has been the criticism of
the authorities because of not
having the requirement in the
schools of this State. We be-
lieve it wise to take every pre-
| caution to prevent disease, at
the same time, those who criti-
| else must remember that the
school system in this State is
heavily burdened for the lack of
money. 1t is all very well to
cite what this and that State is
doing along these lines, but we
must not lose sight of the fact
that the States referred to have
more taxable property, and a
greater income and can stand
the great expense of medical in
spection. and the various other
matters which furnish positions
tor those who live upon public
pap.
In South Carolina it is differ
ent, the average school can
barely run. many Of them cannot
run the full term, yet, the peo-
pie have voted upon themselves
additional taxation: besides, 9TH
er States are not situated as we
are, they have none of the black
peril to consider. We hear men
criticise the legislature for not
passing over the governors We
to the bill to require medical in
spection in our public schools,
and the very men who are doing
this criticising complain the
loudest about taxation. 1t costs
money to employ physicians,
there are very few doctors who
can or will give their time to
this work without compensation,
but where is the money to come
from? Surely no one will say
that the doctors shall be paid
out of the already inadequate
school fund, nor will anybody
contend that a law to force the
doctors to make this inspection
free of charge will hold.
We think it along the line Of

is not so well and harmonious
as it was. The Democratic party
is in full control of both branches
of the congress and never before
in the history Of the Union has
there been such q complete sub

self. Some will say Mr.. Whaley
has only filed an unexpired
term, but others will say had he
secured that unexpired term free
from the suspicion Of corruption,
then there may be something in
the claim that he is deserving of
consideration, but every man
knows the special election in
which Mr.. Whaley was declared
the nominee, was reputed to be
the vilest and the most demoral-
izing that has ever been held in
this State, and everybody also
knows, that bribery and de-
bauchery is the hardest matter
to prove in a court of law.
While all men knew that both the
Hughes forces, and the Whaley
forcesNspent piles of money, it
would bea physical impossib;!ity
to get the actual proof, notwlth-
standing this, the public mind is
convinced that the special cleo
ton was a contest of money and
not merit. Therefore many who
will vote in this district will cast
their ballot as a reputation of
the corrupt methods formerly
employed, and also to record
their desire to try a man from
outside of the city of Charleston.

removing as far as pOSSlole tne
hate that has been engendered,
patriotic men Of both factions
are appealing to the people to
Judge candidates on broader
grounds than petty factionalism.
We have been allied with the.
majority faction for a number of
years, in fact, we are charged
by some with being a strong
partizan, but ever since the hot.
ly contested election of two
years ago it has been our pur-
pose to devote our efforts to the
restoration of harmony, and our
course is this. and other tribu-
mails is proof of our sincerity.
We have a great State, it is on
the road to progress and is de-
veloping fast, about as fast as
any State in the Union, when it's
financial capital is considered,
but it is our opinion, we can
progress more rapidly if some OF
our extremists can be muzzled
and prevented from injecting
their poison into the minds Of
the masses. We appeal to the
honest men of the State to ig-
more such narrow and damaging
sentiments as are put forth by
the BAN berg Herald, whose ed
itor holds a federal position and
may feel that he does not need
the support of the masses of his
county. It makes no difference
to him whether Tom, Dick. or
Harry is elected governor, but
if his man falls down for the
Senate, it might. The people
however, should not to be con-

what is best for the masses; pos
sibly, if the people of Bamberg
had a voice in the selection of
their postmaster, the editor of
the Herald would be less intoler-
ant, and not so bold with his
extreme views; instead, he would
be more considerate of those
who are not going to vote for
men Of his choice, but will
choose for themselves, and, when
the authorities at Washington
determine to place the selection

of the Bamberg Herald will not
be so defiant, as to tell those
who favor the present admins

There has always been tendency
on the part of saints, philosophers and
excitable people generally to feel sure
that what Is wrong with the world is
ignorance-that II only people might
be induced to listen they could not

FAT JOB BREEDS INTOLERANCE.
We reproduce from the

VIZ 4S SHA SooSS - VIZ VIZ A~SAAA
berg Herald the following:
'sNo candidate who is a sup
porter of the present State ad-
ministration need expect the
support of this newspaper or
the vote of it's editor. 1t makes
no difference what Office he is
running for, from coroner up,
he can't play in our back yard
if the present chief executive is
an official to his liking"
There are many good citizens
in this State who, are sincerely
and earnestly endeavoring to
wipe factional bitterness, they
believe the sooner this is done
the better it will be for all con-
cerned, -out as long as such
newspapers as the Bamberg
Herald keep throwing the fat
into the fire." it wall only irri-
tate, and keep patriotic men
from bringing peace and unity
to the State. The Bamberg,
HeraId's shaking the red rag in
to the faces of those who are not
of it's way of thinking can have
no other effect than to tighten
the factional lines, and renew
the bitterness of the past.
We regard such an expression
from a newspaper, as damaging:
to the cause Of good government.
and, calculated to stir the fires
of factionalism to the extent
that reason will have no sway In
the coming primary. The voters
.of Bamberg County are divided
in opinion, as they are in all of
the other counties; there is no
law on the statute books pre-
venting the voters of having a
right to their choice for officers,
whether the same be coroner"
or United States Senator. but
when the editor of d newspaper
assumes to coerce or dictate how
people shall exercise their right
of suffrage, he will soon lose
what influence he ever had in
the community. The day has
arrived when every patriotic
citizen should lay aside factional
feeling, and approach the ballot
box with a view to casting his
ballot for what in his judgment
he thinks best, and, not be guild
ed by any petty spirit of re-
venge. There are as good men
who will offer for Office that
voted for Judge Jones two years
ago, as they were that voted for
Gov. Blease. and as good men
who voted for Blease as voted
for Jones, therefore, we think it
folly for men to be Influenced in
their selection of candidates by
the narrow idea that a man must
have voted, or will vote with
them to receive their votes in
the coming primary.
We do not know how the peo-
pie of this section will regard
the extreme views as above
quoted. but from our knowledge
of the past we do not think that
our people hold to, or endorse
such ultra ideas. Look at the
folly Of it, if factional lines are
to be tightly drawn the result OF
the senatorial contest is fixed in |
advance, but with the spirit oil

 Confession.
GRAND JURY PROBES.
State Superintendent of Banks J. L. Hutton Will Again Appear
 Before Grand Jury.

Memphis, Feb. 12.-C. Hunter Raine president of the Mercantile Bank which closed it's doors Monday as the result of his alleged defalcations estimated to reach $7SS,O0O, pleaded not guilty when arrainged in the criminal court today. Raine previ- ously had pleaded guilty when ar rested on bench warrant charging embezzlement.
 Probably indictments against other officials of the Mercantile Bank wrecked through a shortage of one million dollars, will be considered by the grand jury when the inquisitorial body resumes it's weekend session Friday morning.
 J. l.. Hutton, state superintendent of banks and receiver for the Mercan- tile, it is understood, again will face the jury to give testimony regarding the banks present condition. On his report largely hangs further action by the jury, according to Attorney General Estes.
 It is further understood that prac- tically the entire session will be taken up with the bank probe, rou- tine matter being deferred for the present.
 Two indictments agaist Presiden' Raine charging larceny and em- bezzlement, and which were returned by the jury Tuesday, unacted upon will be considered. The charges in these bills are identical with allega- tions covered in the general indict- mem to which Mir. Raine pleaded not guilty Thursday.
 A detailed expose from Mir. Raine explaining these full transactions which brought about the banks fail ure, is expected by county officials. His plea is taken as indicative of a desire to give full confession o1 his deals which wrecked the bank. It has not been announced when MT Raine's case will be considered by the court. He was returned to the county jail and the $25O,OOO bail fixed by Judge Palmer, of the Sec ond Criminal Court, at the time ot his arrest, was allowed to stand. The banker did not give bond, however.
 Whether the bank president will be brought to trial or whether he ex- poets to make private statement tc the court attaches, has not been de- cided. His statement, it is under stood, will have a direct bearing or charges that he is not alone re sponsible.

 Mrs. Bond was the first witness called this morning. She appeared much ag:tated. Her pale features were i'll concealed by the thick black veil she Wore.
 Mrs. Bond said she went to Wash, ington in the interest of her husb- and's candidacy for internal revenue collector of this city. She met Sena- tor Gore several times before the meeting in the hotel room March 24. She says on one previous visit to the Senator's office, he suddenly reached down and caught her foot. She says she rebuked him for the impropriety and Gore apologized.
 On March 24 while the two were in the room, Gore reached for her hand. she said. A short time later he grabbed her around the waist ana attempted to pull her upon his lap. Fifteen minutes later the blind sena> tor. according to Mrs. Bond, seized her with his left arm and pushed her back. She screamed and Robin son rushed into the room.
 Counsel on cross-examination, ask ed Mrs. Bond if she had not been married before. She answered yes.
 Mrs. Bond said she had been a nervous wreck since the alleged at tack.
 J. Graves Leeper, lumberman, testified Senator Gore had asked him what kind of a looking woman Mrs. Bond is, and he told him she was beautiful woman.
 Kirby Fitzpatrick, the attorney who said he was an eye witness of the alleged attack. corroborated Robin sons story. He also was a candidate for an appointment. When asked why he didn't help Mrs. Bond when he saw her attacked,he saw her at tackled, Fitzpatrick said he feared he would jeopardize his political future by so doing.

 There were several talks and one of particular interest was delivered by J. c. Bain, of Portland, who sub- scribed for $2,O0O of stock, and de- cleared he could sell quite a quantity of stock in his section.
 He declared that at the present there is over $60,000 of live stock around Portland, being fed there and not an adequate market. It was held by him that this lot of cattle could be taken care of by the Pine Bluff stock yards to advantage.
 Manager Doyle was instructed to attend the live stock growers meet ing which is to be held in Little Rock, February 16-19. It was also asked that the other organizations send delegates to this meeting.

POLITICS IN THE ! GORE DAMAGE SUIT 2 Senator Cores Attorneys
 Score Against Plaintiff at Trial of Case.
 HAD IT IN FOR GORE. WOuld-Be Office Holder Said He Was
 After Blind Statesman and Would Get Him.
HAD IT IN FOR GORE

Oklahoma City, Feb. 12.-Tales o1 political intrigue, brought out by 5 cross s-examination, featured the sec. ond days testimony in the case of s Mrs. Minnie E. Bond against Sena- tor Thomas P ,GGore, for $5O,OOO for alleged attack.
 The most dramatic moment of the day, besides the low voiced story of the assault as told by Mrs. Bond, was the admission by T. E. Robinson, a 7 witness to the alleged attack, that he had told the proprietor of the Hotel Winston in Washington that he was "after Gore and would get him."
 He admitted that he used vile epithet in reference to Gore when he made this statement. He also admit ted saying, while passing the build ing which houses the Department of the Interior in Washington, that but for Gore, "that blind -, he and his friends would be sitting in that building with their feet on the table" !"
 The defense intimated by questions to Robinson they will produce wit ness to whom Robinson is alleged to have said: "We have got Gore right and it is going to cost him $25,0O0 to get out"
 When asked if he had called Gore damned double-crosser," Robin son answered in the affirmative, ex- blaming that he had formed this opinon of the blind senator after Robert A. Rogers, of Oklahoma, had failed to get the appointment of Secretary of Interior in the present cabinet.
 Dr. J. H. Earv, president of the Jacksonian Club, a Democratic orga- nization of this city, testified he saw Gore the day after the Bond incident in Washington and the Senator said: Doe, they set trap for me and E I walked into it." He says Senator Gore instructed him to offer the woman anything to get her out of town, but to keep his (Gore's) name out of it.
 ''What job did you want?" Earv was asked in cross-examination.
 "United States Marshall" Earv replied.
 Did you get it?"
 "No."
 Dr. Earv admitted he had not told all he knew when he gave his deposi- tion. He confessed to a desire to pro- tect the blind senator at that time. He admitted he had a chance for the office he sought when he gave his dispositions.
 "Then you were not willing to tell the whole truth until you were en- tirely out of the running?" he was asked.

 I7s Peace and Union.

Boston, Mass, Feb. 12.-The Bos- ton City Club, celebrating the birth of Abraham Lincoln yesterday even- ing, heard United States Senator Joe T. Robinson of Arkansas give "a Southerner's estimate of Abraham Lincoln" It was a remarkable ad- dress. At a dinner to the senator attended by 200 persons James M. Swift was toastmaster. Senator Rob- inson said on the topic of the even ing.
 "I regard Abraham Lincoln as one of the greatest orators our country has produced, as one of the greatest humorists that ever engaged in pub lie life, as one of the very greatest men our country has produced.
 "T am inclined to take a pathetic view of Lincoln, because of the pre- dominance of the commonplace in his life, for it was the commonplace oi his early life that colored and glori- fled his whole life; his youth was a sad one. The debate with Douglas established him, and the Civil War proved him. All of his eventual life excites interest as well as amaze ment.
 AS a Southern man who loves and yenerates the institutions and tradl- tions of the South I declare to you to- night that in no other way could slavery have been abolished any more than that in no other way could the present glory of the South have been possible.
 eff slavery had continued the con dition of the poor whites in the South would have been as bad, Ii not worse, than slavery. It was an institution that produced an oligarchy of idleness and arrogance and creat- ed social conditions repugnant to the spirit of the people of this country in the South as we'll as in the North.
