Thursday morning, after an illness, Rev.
j. K. Mendenhall passed away. For
years his mental vision has been cloud
ed, and he has been confined to his own
home, where the faithful watching of
loving hearts have soothed his declining
day.
Mr.. Mendenhall was born in New
berry county on September 20, 1925. He
was the son of DR.. M. T. Mendenhall. an
eminent physician and successful bust
ness man, who amassed large fortune,
and who removed to Charleston when his
son, James Kirk, was only years of
age. The father became prominent in
business circles and church work, and
the son grew to manhood under the most
advantageous circumstances, as he was
the associate of those who became IA
nous as prea cheers, lawyers and mer-
chants. Among his companions was the
late DR.. James p. Boyce, and their init
macy was lifelong. Together they went
to the high school, to Brown university,
Providence, r. l., and to Princeton The
illogical seminary, receiving the best ed
ucational advantages to be had in this
country. After completing his collegiate
and theological course Mr.. Mendenhall
began a successful career as pastor and
evangelist His first pastorate was at
Camden. which lasted for seven years,
and just prior to the war he went to Fer
nandino, Fla, where he remained eigh-
teen months, leaving on account of the
disturbed condition of the country.
t''IIe came back to South Carolina and
occupied the old homestead in Newber-
ry county, where he became pastor of
Bush River and Mount Zion churches.
After the war he did great deal Of mis-
sionary and evangelistic work, serving
also as district secretary of the home
board and financial agent of Furman
university. He was then pastor in Co.
lumbia for a number of years, and came
to Greenville about twenty years ago.
He has served a number of country
churches in this section of the state, and
has done an extraor binary amount of
work as an evangelist, to which he was
devoted most earnestly and for which he
had peculiar gifts.
Mr. Mendenhall was an humble,
faithful, jealous Christian, consecrated
pastor, gifted preacher and successful
evangelist; a model husband, an affec-
Tomato father, beloved in all relations
T.. of life.
HE aided in the organization of the
Pendleton Street church, and his funeral
took place there yesterday morning, the
services being conducted by the pastor,
Rev. w. L. Richards assisted by DR.. A.
J. s. Thomas and Rev. G. s. Gardner.
The remains were inferred at SPRING

STATE NORMAL COLLEGE AT FLORENCE.
Its Low Rates-Its Excellent Iraining-The
Demand for Its Graduates.

One hundred dollars will defray a
years expenses, including board. OF
this not more than SIS will be needed in
any one month.
Its faculty is composed of specialists.
No institution In Alabama has strong
er faculty. Before graduating it's stu
dents have years experience in teach
ing under careful critics.
Its graduates are in great demand.
They readily secure good positions. OF
the large class turned out last May most
have already made engagements for
next year. BY the opening of tibet fall
term it is expected that all will be en-
gagged.
Parents and ambitious young teachers
should make a note of all these points.
Alabama calls for hundreds of new
teachers every year. If our own young
people do not prepare for this work
they will be brought in from other states.
Graduates of high schools and col
leges and teachers of experience may
complete the professional course in one
year.

which meets tomorrow, favorable
to the aspirations ofJas. +, Boyd

If the Republican party com,

But, he seems to have left out Of
his calculation the fact that the
masses of the Populists in North
Carolina. while willing to make
utility fusion for county and con,
gressioral officers, have settled il
that they will nominate and vote
for W. A. Guthrie, of Durham, f2i
Governor-no matter whether Rus

the result will be the nomination
of Dockery by the convention. /

The following extract from the
address of Rev. j. Lafferty at
Richmond, Va, a few days ago is
so timely, and withal such a fra
grant bouquet of eloquence, that
we are pleased to give it space.
Nations have recovered from
commercial decay. No people
ever rose from establishment.
Among the Chinese the soldier is
ranked as an outcast and pariah.
Patriotism is an unknown emotion,
A lofty sentiment is impossible tc
such sodden wretches. God forbid
that by indifference to the claims
Of the dead we should commit sui,
eide OF the soul. A people that
rear monuments to heroes by free
will offerings dignity themselves
and ennoble their own spirits. The
flowers scattered on the mausole-
ums of men who gave life fol
country refresh the gentle souls
that brought pious offerings. 1t is
movement from the animal side
of our nature, and a gradient to-
wards a royal and chivalrous man
hood. When the rlillennial morn
sheds its glories upon the sweet
earth of Hollywood, where oui
martyrs and heroes sleep, may the
rising rays of the unsetting sur
find garlands of love ard honor
thick strewn by noble women and
brave men,"

The election Of Col. Jas. II.
Holt Of Burlington, a heretofore
democrat, as a delegate to the

is corroborative Of the RECORDERS
statement Of some weeks ago that
the North Carolina manufacturer

can protective ranks. The selec
ton Of Col. Holt may not have
been exactly agreeable to Con
gresham Settle, because Of the
colonies Mckinley proclivities
but any marked opposition would
have been miserably bad loca'
and personal politics.
