candidates would show their hands
very shortly. Comptroller General
Vorner has announced himself can
sdidate for reelection. While at
Darlington yesterday he was invited
to speak at the meeting Of the Dar-
lington Democratic Club. In his
speech he came out boldlyfor reform
in the plan of government. He
claimed that affairs had been pro
perly conducted according to exist
ing laws, but urged sweeping changes,
the most important of which relate
to County Commissioners, and dc.
clarcd that extravaganza lay in the
present form of government. He
announced his candidacy. In con.
versation with World representa-.
tive he stated that he would attend
the campaign meetings and lay tho

Scuator Hampton.

An erroneous statement having
appeared in the press of the country
that Gen. Hampton would take the
field against Mr.. Tillman, he has
written a letter to the editor of tho
Columbia Register, from which VIC
copy the following:
"I have only to say that no ono in
South Carolina has approached me

a Tribute.

MuNTFoRD STOKES STrIBLING was
born near Shallow Ford, in Anderson
County, South Carolina, on the 2d of
May, 1910. He was married to Anna NJ
Werner March I'd, 1913, who with nine
sons and two daughters, tho fruits of
this union, survives him. He died Nav
3d, 1890, having just completed his list
year. Mr.. Stribling was Il man of re-
markahln energy and perseverance, phys
ically and morally; he was Industrious,
truthful, liberal, temperate, honest: n
man "diligcnt in business, fcrvcnt in
spirit, serving the Lord"
Our venerable friend had not enjoyed
the advantage even of he rudimcnts of
an education, yet his strong natural good
sense and his habits of close observation,
while compcnsating in great measure for
this lack, made him an enthusiastic adj
vocatc of scholastic training.
Mr.. Stribling united with the Richland
Presbyterian Church in early manhood,
and was elected to the Office of Ruling
Elder, which charge lie faithfully kept
until released by the Chief Shcppcrd.
Our brother was ready when the Master
came; clear and distinct was his earnest
expression of faith in Jesus us the only
helper OF saint and sinner, and of his
hope in II blessed immortality.
1t was our privilege to be with him, to
hear his dying testimony, and to com
mend him to the. loving ministries Of
Jesus, in whose gentle arms he soon after
foil asleep.
We shall miss him in tho gatherings at
Richland; miss his genial smile, warm
hand-grasp and cordial speech. We hope
to meet him in the general assembly and
church of the first-born OH high among
the spirits of just men made perfect.

A Pen-Picture of Capt. B. II. Tillman.

Mr.. John S. Carr, Of Roper's
Edgctield, County, S. c., thus writes
the Charleston World on the Sth
instant, concerning Capt. B. r. Till
man, the Farmers Movement candi-
date for Governor:
s'Thc life man lives in his home
circle is the best index to his charac-
ter. The man who holds inviolatc
the sacred bonds of union around
his own hearth-stone; the man who
tries to do unto his neighbor as he
would have his neighbor do unto
him; the man who breaks no law of
his country, but respects alike the
rights of all men; the man who is
full of energy, carnestncss and in
tellcctual force certainly would not
be an unsafe man at the helm of
State. A long acquaintance iustiiies
the writer in saying that such man
is Capt. b. r.. Tillman."

ASPIRATIONS.

In an article on apparitiOns. written
by Andrew Lang, IN the second volume
of the Encyclop9iIa Britannica, ninth
edition, he says: Tine writer once met.
as he believes, well-known and learn
ed member of an English university
who was really dying at place more
than a hundred miles distant from that
in which he was seen. Surprising for
the sake Of argument, that the writer
did not mistake some other individual
for the extremely noticeable person
whom he seemed to see: the coincidence
between the subjective impression and
the death of the learned professor Is, TO
say at least, curious" To determine
whether or not it was q case of mis-
taken identity Is very important, but no
opportunity is given in the passage quo
ted. Ii it was subjective impression,
the coincidence would be curious and
nothing else, aud not more SO than many
condolences in trifes. and many other
circumstances absolutely disconnected,
and many subjective impressions with
out any condolences. Mr.. Lang, IN the
article referred to, has written like one
who has crammed with the literature of
the subject without being at the pains
to reason closely upon the alleged facts.
He refers to the superstitious horror
shown by Il dog at the moment OF a
supposed apparition to his master.
That the dog exhibited horror when
his owner thought he saw an appari-
ton may be readily believed. And one
familiar with dogs knows that nothing
will terrify them more than great APP
pearance of alarm on the part of
the masters without visible cause. OF
the same nature is the remark concern
ing the mysterious disturbances Of the
