Few Southerners Hold Consular Posi tions-Taft Expected to Re medy Injustice. A Washington dispatch .to the News ,and Courier says: As the days of the Ta.t administra tion draw nigh, Southern people hiere and elseivhere are e.tertaining their imaginations with hopes of better t-hings for their homeland than have come to it from the present oceupailit of the executive office in the White House. They 'have been persuaded to expect -that -they will be acoorded a slight-liy larger participation in 'the responsibilities of ,the general govern ment, and thereby reap a little more of the benefits which come with such responsibility. They are observing that in this interesting resive-t 1r. Taft will find vast room and rich op portunity for improvement upon his R-epublican predecessors, especially his -lost.. The Southern people, exclusive of the little groups of office-holders, Fed Ceral referes and their expectant henhmen, 'have given seant at-tention 'to the hire of Federal patronage, and have only spoken ou.t on the subject~ when they thought best to protest, against the appointmen't of bad and inompetent men to t.ransaet ethe Fed eral business. Objections 'have been rged only when such appointments were nfotoio'usly in the face of pre vailing publie sentiment. and detri mental -to the public welfare of the community. Souithern people 'h:ve not worried Mr. Roosevelt with importun ities for any of the n'umerous prizes and honors within 'his giftt, nor is there th? slig~htest evidence that they 'will bothe-:- Mr. Taft about Federal patronage. Sae Th South ShrdOut. Doing little for thre South save to give offence in tire characeter of the patronage which 'he 'has dispensed in the States, there is one branch of the Federal service which is presumed to be condueted 'w'ithouat regard to party advantage, and for the good of the country at .large, in which P:residen.t Roosevelt has ignored the Sou-th. That' 'is the patronage under the State de partment, wijt:h its diplomatic and consular service. Early in Mir. Roose velt 's adlminist.ration, when he was reminded of the meagre share the Soth had in -the representation of the United States abroad in the diploma tic and consular services. 'he declared 'that 'he would -look into the questionI 'and see that the South had fair play. He 'has done nothing of the 'kind. He has takeni awary muceh of 'the little that the South !had. The few small posts 'held 'by men 'from Southern Stes 'were obtained by them either 'through original 'appointment by President Cleveland or thrtough ex aminations prescribed in 'the State department 's own civil service regu 'lations. When congriess. at Mr. Roosevelt 's instance, enar-ted a laiw classifying -the consular service and embracing ithose already in office un der i.s protection, Mir. Roosevelt had filled nearly every desiraible place 'wih persons of 'his owvn choice and party. As it is, the Sort'h 'has l:ess representation in the State depart mnent, at home and abroad, than it has had at any time in the 'history of the governmen't. Lineoln, Grant, Hayes, Gafield, Arthur, McKiney-all 'did far better by the South than has President Roosevelt. Wilth frequent and excellent and attractive oppor tunities 'to keep 'hi's word 'and win t'he good wil:1l of 'the Southern people, he h:a almost entirely ignored them. ex ept 'when 'he namred Luke E. Wrigrht 'as ambassador .to Japan. Thai~t post h;s 'been filled by a' Northern man. The South now ha's -as little propor tionate share i.n 'the -relations of this government 'with forelign countries as have our dusky wards on the Indian reseration or the saes of the Sul BIG PIANM Coming to Newbe 'erts Will be h tu) Quite a pleasant surprise was mprung in. Newberry yesterday by the anouncement ol1Messrs. R. B. Wal laee .and H. J.

In fact -we are informed that so great is -the demand for their instruments in those sections thai, even with the large force of trav ing salesmen employed by the South Carolina branch of the Cable factor ies. they have heretofore been unable to properly ctver the entire State. With the end of the money panic and with prosperi-ty again in the sad dle. fhe able management of the Ca ble Piano company decided to enlarge their sales force in this State. and ma-ke an azgressive advertising cam -ai:in .in this and the Piedmont se iton o South Carolina.

WAS IT INSURE Everybody asks this question after a fire. The next question, which is just as important : "What Company" nobody asks. The property owners of America pay annually three hundred million dollars in premiums for FIRE INSURANCE, but not one in ten of them know even the NAME of the Company whose policy may be his only asset in case of disaster. Do YOU Know? If not, what an astonishing state of affairs for an enlightened businesslike American citizen. If you know the NAME of the Company, what do you know ot its standing or its reputation for Fair Dealings? THE HARTFORD V I R E INSURANCE COMPANY for ninety-nine years has paid promptly every just claim, so that today it does the lai gest fire insurance business in America.
