Washington, October 21.-Se1,a
tor MlcLaurin's inflence with P'res
ident Roosevelt. was strikingly il.
strated toda, by th o appointment
of Gleorgo Ri. .Koostor, oditor of the
Columbia Record, to the vacant col
' lectorship of internal revenue for the
district of South Carolina.
Mr. Kooster's name has beenl ui
dor consideration over sinco the
turning down of Leuma Blalock,
but his friends have managed to
4 keep his name out of the newspapers
for fear that the plans for his elec
tion might not work out success
fully.
It was not expected that an ap.
pointment wonId 1)o made for it woek
or more, or at least, that. is what Sen
kt', ator McLaurin stated after his in.
terview with President Rtoosevelt.
Saturday last.
The Senator, while declining to
give the name of the wiinnr, do
clared that when the appointiueit
was oticially announced it would he
a great surprise to all concerned,
especially in South Carolina.
Just what induced 1 resident UoosE
volt to bestow the appoint.mentt upon
Mr. Koester just prior to his (o
parture for Yale College, this after
noon, is not explati. " d at I ho Vbite
House. His attention might have
been drawn to the South Carolina
situation by the appet)rance at the
White House of one of the applicants
for the collectorship.--Ellery M.
i ayton. He had a brief interview
with the Presidont this morning and
it was evident that he received little
encouragement so fur as his personal
' claim was concernl . Mr. Bray ton
has been an applicant for almost
every .Federal oflice in South Caro
lina since he was displaced from the
Republican national coiiiittee by
the late E. A. Webster.
It is believed that. a howl of in
dignati nn will go up from all di
reetions over the appointment of
Editor Koester because of his close
personal friendship f>r Senator Mc
Laurin. The friends of Mr. Bray
ton, who so confidently predicte(d his
appointment a few days ago, now
realize that it was imprudent to
make his claim so strong. After Dr.
Clayton's interview with thie Presi
dent his prospects seemed to Ian
gnish and Mr. KCoester's iinme, which
was mentioned thle 5ame dOcay D)r.
Clayton waus suggested, b)ecameic the

(The State, 23d.]
There has Ieenl at great deal of
talk lately about the olice of col
lector of internal revenue. The poo
plo generally are not aware of the
inportance of this ollice, 1)ecalse a
regular or Bryan Democrat was not,
regarded as available for it, and in
these practical days an ollico does
not tempt much notice when it IS so
far removed from roach. In addi
tion to tho splendid salary, and to
the power it gives the incumtbent,
the oflice is a very important one.
All the revenue or tax paid out of
this State to the national govern
montt passes through this otlico, and
the revenue collector is in other
words the tax collector of the federal
government.. The ollico Hhoutld re
(1uirt the services of experieuced
mten, who are acquainted with the
revenuo laws in their fre(Ient
chlingos. 'Ihis ollice collects rev
01ne of all kinds-not merely upon
distilleries and tobacco factories as
is soletillne's supposed.
The salary of t he revenue collec
tor is $+3,500 p0r allltllIn. lin addi
t,ion1 h 8 is allowed Comrnission, not to
Hxcee(d $1,000 in the aggregate. On
account of the buildig of a big dis
tillery near Columbia, the salary and
fees of the office will hencoforth
make it "panl out" the limit, $4,500
a year. The Governor of the State
and the supreme court justicos get.
but $3,500, and congressmon with
their heavy expenses get but $5,000.
In addition to this good "plum"
in the way of pay, the ollice is one of
influence and of direct power. The
revenuo collector hats the right to
appoint not less than -10 clerks and
leputies, whose salaries will average
tbout $1,000.
In the ollico in Columbia, Mr.
(Ieorgo 1L Huggins is chief deputy.
l'ho other deputies are Capt. J. L.
Little and Mr. L. M. Fouche. There
is one oflice clerk, Rev. J. H. John
on, colored. The stenographer is
Riss Y.ungblood.
There are three division deputies
located in different parts of the
State; A. C. Morrick of Greenville;
1. 1H1. D)eas of D)arl ingtoni, aind J.

None of tho lROpublican politicians
in Charleston would tiscusi the Koes
ter appointmen t. yesterday. They
wtoro dtllfoulnthdl when they roadt in
the News and Courier that the dark
horse had wot in the scamper r the
collectorship. The general opinion
seeme(1 to bn thatt Seonator McLiaurin
hadl not, holpod his causeo materially
by having Mr. cestor name over
I)r. Clayton and a bunch of other
willing candidtes, who represented
sonething to the Iepublican party.
The old linters howled against. Presi
dent loosovolt, clrlln:ing that he was
nlotI a party 1an. They made the
poilt that all party m1on had hoon
igtored himpiy to give Senator Mc
Laurin an opportunity to get a soft
j,tb for his personal friend. Just
what Mr. Kooster wats expected to
do for the now organization in this
State, was a mystery to local politi
ciansH and nothing has stirred them
iore since the wave in the unsettled
pol itictl son1 began to rage.
Capt. John (. Capers, the United
States district attorney, who was ap
poiutod to otlice ats a former Gold
)t'mnoerat, roturned to the city yes
torday. He declined to discuss the
appointmIet and1 tIhis wa ita sonree
of regret to the old liners, who be
Iieved (apt. Capers would disap
prove of it. Why he should have
mad any complaint was more than
ihe average man could explain, but
in their grief and bittorness the old
liners are looking to any leader to
shake the red flag. Friends of Major
Jones, of Blacksburg, will be hoard
from hereafter, as they are particu
larly hot in their talk. According to
the common report Major Jones
called on ho President last week
and was given to understand that the
tppoilntlent would not, be announced
for t i days. In the meantime Ma
jor Jtuets ability was to be weighed.
Before the limit of probation had ex
pired Mr. Koester was called in and
given the wreath.
A story in connection with Major
Jonos is being told hero. It must be
remembered that he has boeni a star
Republicat, (.auli(late for years. His
political opponents say he was will
ing to take any old Government job,
provided it was fat and( easy. Whleni
the Spanish war opened lie wvas on
elorse'd for a commuiission anud many
leaidinig lttpubtlicanis in the East sup
p)orted him. R~ecently Mtlajor Jones
entered thle field as a candidate for
the oftice of collector of internal reve
nue. Ho went to WVashington, saw
Senator McLaurin and sought an in
trodnetion to tihe President. Major
.JonoR told a Charleston mant the
other (lay that Senator McLiaurin
had1( tried to sidotrack hinm andl
wvantedl to shirk the task of pre
senting hiim at the White Louse.
Finally, it. is said, the junior senator
informed Major Jones that he wVold(
accompany him to the WVhitoe H-ouse,
b)ut it would he wvith the understand
ig thant politics should( niot be dis
cussed. Major Jones replied thait
hie would talk as much as he pleased
atnd after he got in the p)r('[i.ent's
oflice lhe hammered away, told the
story of his past life and asked the
president t.o give him Mr-. We-bsterm's
old job. Thue upshot of the confer
enice was thle p)romise from the presi
donit that the appointment wvoido niot
boe made fe-r ton days. And this is
why the Jones 8olement is mad1(.
T1he Chiarlest on Republicans said
yesterday that they could niot see
how Mr. Koester hadto been appointed
over Dr. Clayton, a man who is weoll
known and( honored by his party.
They called to muinid the fa'-t t.hat he
had given the best years or his life
to the uphnilding of the pairty, but
the fact wats rnot menitioned thait the
best, years of his political life had
been spent in federal oflice. After
he called ont Presidlent lIoosevelt D)r.
Clayton wass left to believe that he
wo'uldt certainily be atppointed, but as
the matte was (d(1avna any trtar
day his friends began to think that a
dark horse had gotten into the field
and Dr. Clayton's chancos weakon1ed.
Even in the event of his failure to
land the leaders here thought that
nll out, and out Hepublican would
get the oflico.
"The appointment of Mr. Koester
will not do Sonetor .MoLaurin any
good in this State," said a well in
formed member of the old line fac
tion yostordiay. Mr. Ko0stor wias
able to connect with the $2,500 office
becallSe he was a friend of Senator
Mcbaurin, but he will not be able to
swoop one hundred votes into the
now organization. Ho does not
represent anything. lie is a man
of ability and can hold the office
without trouble, but if the junior
senator is looking for material which
will be of assistance to him later on
he certainly made a bad break in this
last appointment. He has hurt him
self with the old line Republicans
and he has not strengthened himself
with his now followers by giving his
Columbia friend the job. There ar'
other men who have joined the now
party who are able to carry influence
into it, but they were unfortunate in
not having boosted MeJaurin at the
pr(per time. Kooster will be known
hereafter as a star in the political
firmament. He certainly had the
cards stacked on the boys. There is
one thming to his credit and that
is his determination and willing
ness to stick to a friend who is
a friend. He has openly support.
od McLaurin for soei years and now
lie has reaped h;s rewara."
Dr. Clayton had not returned to
the city yesterday and there waf no
one here to speak for him about the
aIppointment. It is understood that
he is sore about the throw-down,
which was almost as severe as the
dumping of Bl3alock. The Republi
cans admit, however, that the politi
eal situation in this State has had
more mysterious shifts within the
past year than at any other time
Iince the war.

TOWN AND COUNTRY GIRLS,

A (Counstry (Iri Poenenm-A Alnny AdIorablo
Traltts T1hat, ilon Wileh tho Town
broc1 (irl Would Emtul,tte.
[Max O' IRoll in New York Journal.
I roce'ivod the following letter the
other day:
"Could you (i8Cuss tho respectivo
mlerits and dlmorits of 'own an(1
country girls Y 1 have boon ongagoed
to a townt girl and also to a country
girl. On both Occasions the engage
mont has boon broken off. Next
timeo I got engagod, if I do, I moan
it to be the rubbor. Now, what do
you Hay---a town girl or a country
girl Y"
From a man'sn point of vit,,.v a
country girl posse8 many adoe,ra
b1o traits which ho devoutly wislii
the town l.reed girl would oiulaete.
She is fond of i hoilthy lift', y':o
i!i natural, tunconvoutional, has at lino
Co1 mplexion, is easy to )h-115, his a
good alIppetito, rides, (rivos, walk ,
boats.
She can don her attire andl be
roady to accompany thm for a stroll
bofore the town girl would have even
doeide d which hlat she would wear
for tho occasion. A man wouad al
wayH p)rofor thtt i wommn should
POP on tny hat andlcl caltch up anlty
pair of gloves Ilat, lay handy rather
t hat that he should b) kopt wa' ing
whilo she performs all 0101 srate
toilotlo.
And this siggests a itaxiin. When
you are married the life naturally
comi1els you to sonotimos on0 your
wifte not. ibsolutoly got up for con
quest. Theroforo never marry a girl
who will never allow you to soe her
except whon Mhe is porfectly sure that
til l about her is irreproachable. If
you marry that wonin your life will
bo spont ill hours of precious t 1uo
wastoil away. Marry the prompt
wolnan.
As gnosts in the hous the coun
try girl is the delight of the morning
and ftornoon, while the town girl
i: o8entially an ovoninig bird.
The forner gives little or no trou
bl in t1h house. No Hpocial (iishes
havo to ho concoete'd to coax her
appet1 ito, for shii e'njoys w%]it it ah alt.hv
relish overything that, is st, bofore
lior; but unfortunatoly when other
guests are present. sihe relapses into
silenco for fear of hot rayinig her
ignorance of the town society doings
aind sayings.
Sociali sin all talk is not in her line,
but she knows thme name of every
tree you pass8 as you drive in the
forest with her; 8110 can1 toll you
whaltt is good for a1 hiorso, a dog, how
to kitop1 ponl try, (1nueks anld the like.
A I. breakfast illm) 81h0 is always
freshl and1 amiiable, wvhile the town
girl is slep picking a morsel of
t.oast, if she has got uip lat all and
niot ask you1 kindly to send her
breakfast to her room. But in the
ovemnIlg, when the city girl isi just
waking up to enjoy life, this poor
little coun[try maiden is wishing she
could retire at the sam11o time as Bile
do0es at homoi.
I fool I cannlIot ainswer my corres
ponden4)It. Thle man51 who has spont
all his life) in thie ttumoil of a great
city will finld the country girl (dul1
and uninteresting.
TPhe man brought up in the coun
try will finld Miss Fashion Plate a
bit of a trial.
A inum should mrarry a woman
wIIhs tastos are like his. At the
Hsme timel it 1111s1 not b)e believtd
that the country girl will more read
ily admire a husband thanit a town
girl. The latter is more or less a
womanIf of the world1, and1( she will
not expet to find1 her lover a flaw
108s hlero; whereas, tihe little country
rosebud, b)orn among the poc: 7 of
simple rural life, knows very little of
man51 and( his~ ways.
Thus, when she falls inl love, she
places the object of her affections on
the loftiest poCdestal her hleart can
raise, and( weaves round his being a
network of fanciful illusions. Thoere
fore, beware, you may not be able to
li ve '"Elp t o it."
