C April 20.--The re publican state convention convened here at 12 o'clock vostorday and after the usual temporary organization re cessed until 3 p. m. Just before the convention was call ed to order for the afternoon session a negro by the name of E. 1?. Thomp son, a former mail carrier in Colum bia, took charge of the chair and was presiding: over a recess meeting at "which various delegates were speak ing. Presently. Captain John G. Capers. United States eolloeior of inter nal revenue, and national republi can committeeman from South Caro lina, stepped upon the platform and was introduced by Thompson as a "good democrat.". After this the two men faced each other and Thompson brandished a large hickory stick he was using as a gavel, in the face of Captain Capers. Capers caught hold of the stick as if to quiet the negro. Seeing that the negro was bent upon a row. Captain Capers hurled him from the platform, a distance of about five or six feet, the negro falling on his head. By this time the hall had filled up with delegates ami visitors, and there was a wild rush for the plat form as if to do harm to Capers. About a dozen white men and a large number of negroes, friends of Capers.1 immediately surrounded him and pushed back those who apparently wished to do him bo..ilv harm. j For 10 or 15 minutes pandemonium! reigned and it is stated that a number' of negroes were seen to reach for their! revolvers, but so far as is known none I were drawn. Chairmr.n E. K. Peas, after ham-; mering on a table for 10 or 15 min-j utes, finally restored a semblance of j order and recognized T. L,. Grant, of i Charleston, who read resolutions of sympathy on the dfath of the late i Bishop Ellison Capers, father of Cap-; tain Capers. These resolutions were j seconded by "General" Robert Small, j former negro congressman from j Beaufort, and Dr. W. D. Crum. col- lector of the port of Charleston, j who plead for their unanimous j adoption. The resolutions were ; adopted. ; Following this Captain Capers was ! recognized to read the report of the ! committee on credentials and nomina-j tions. j After thanking the convention for the sympathetic reference to his ; father, Capers asked that no votes ! be given him on his father's acount. ; He then read the resolution, which j recommended R. R. Tolbort, for col lector of internal revenue of South Carolina, in the event that Major Micah Jenkins was transferred to the army and that the railroads be required to give the same accommoda tions to negroes that it does to the whites. The resolutions commended the administration of President Roosevelt and the congress and pledged support to the nominee of the republican con tention of Chicago, whoever he might ! be. I Captain Capers said that he wished 'the delegates to go uninstructcd. ai'.l lie believed that any good re ; publican could again defeat William 1.1. Pry an. ! The following delegates at large and alternates were read out by Cap tain Capers and were elected: At large: John G. Capers, Green ville; 1.. Y. C. Blalock, Goldville; T. ;1. Grant. Charleston, and E. H. Deas, i Darlington. , Alternates: R. R. Tolbert,r Abbe iviltc: Robert Small. Beaufort; R. J. ' Logan. Grenwood: E. D. Melton, Col umbia, and R. H. Richardson.

The mere fact that the newspaper's material prosperity is dependent on its business suppoi i, which latter in its; turn is influenced entirely by the ex- t blv the delicate situation in which the honest journalist finds himself when he remains true to the ideals of his profession. The public is capricious. Once let a suspicion find general lodg ment that a newspaper is false to its standards, its honesty questioned, its integrity impeached, its character im pugned, then as well try to restore to the intimate association of her own sex a woman whose reputation is soiled as maintain the circulation of such a journal. Morever, it is a noteworthy fact that when a newspaper once falls into a low estate by dishonest and un worthy practices, the retribution is in exorable, the punishment pitiless. Neither subsequent virtue, atonement or sacrifice can wipe out the stain. Only in very rare instances has it been possible to revive such a property, though placed in entirely new hands. 6000 Pupils at Mass in N: Y. New York, April 29 One of the most remarkable and attractive fea tures in the centennial celebration of the Catholic diocese of New York took place in St. Patrick's Cathedral this morning, when six thousand pupils, representing the seventy-three paro chial schools of Manhattan and the Bronx, took part in the centenary mass. The children were so numerous that little room was left in the spa cious edifice for the throngs of grown-ups who sought admission. The musical program was announc ed one of the finest ever heard in the Cathedral, where in years gone by some of the most celebrated singers of the world have lifted up their voices. For many weeks the children had been in rehearsal under the direction of the Rev. Father Young, S. J., who is recognized as the highest author ity in Gregorian music in this coun try. The1" three-song feature of the Children's mass was the special hymns: "Blest Is the Father," "Jcsu. Dulcois Memoria" and "Holy God, We Praise Thy Name." Another interesting feature of the week's celebration will be the great mass meeting in Carnegie Hall to night, at which ex-Justice O'Brien will preside. Cardinal Logue and Archbishop Farley will be the ecclesiastical speak ers, while John J. Delany, Dr. James J. Walsh, and Congressman W. Bourke Cochran will be the lay orators. pnioD EQodlQODirQO The best is Hood's Sarsaparilla. It is the best becfause it does the most good.

After an experiment in billboard ad vertising which continued five or six years, the American Tobacco Company has returned to newspaper advertising. This company, which devoted most of its billboard space to advertising cer tain smoking tobaccos, spent $1,250, 000 a year upon the billboards, which amount will be spent hereafter in the newspapers and magazines. No com pany knows better the worth of adver tising, and no company is doing it more judiciously. Therefore the company's withdrawal from the billboards is an indication of the questionable value of this form of obtaining business pub licity.

NEVER LEAK in MARCH IN APRIL. TOUR OF THE NATIONS. ,1 S Delightful Social Event at Mrs. M. E. Halls. The home of Mrs. M. E. Hall, on East Seventh street, was the scene of a most pleasant and successful so cial gathering last "night; it being the meeting of the -April Circle of the Church Improvement Society of Tryon Street Methodist Church, entitled, "A Tour of Nations," under the direct su pervision of Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Charlie Davidson. ; The company was large and disposed, the decorations profuse and beautifully blending, and the dainty refreshments served by willing hands made them the more pleasing to the palate. Entering from the porch into the spacious reception hall where Mes dames E. C. Register and W. W. Hagood received, one was shown into the Jap room to the left, where Mesdames Galloway and Pickens and Miss Allie Nooe, who made fine specimens of Japanese hosts, re ceived. One passed to the tea table in the bay window where Misses V. Lillard and Nathan served iced tea from under a huge Japanese umbrella. The room was tastefully decorated with Japanese lanterns and cut flowers. From this room the guest entered the dining room, where everything was distinctly German. Miss Mattie Dowd was iii charge, and was ably assisted in the serving by Mesdames Nixon, Hunt, Kendrick and others. The decoration-; of this room were tasteful in the extreme, Mountain laurel predominating and the root beer disposed in large beer stines with cheese sandwiches made each guest feel doubly welcome. Passing through the rear hall to the front again bne was ushered into the west parlor where America was prominent on all sides, and Mesdames Joe Wearn and Jennie Jones greeted one most graciously, and Misses Mary McCausland, Nancy Anderson and others served delicious - cream and cake. The decoration of this room was flags and bunting and a made up Uncle Sam stood mute in the bay window.
