A Notable Conversion

To the Editor of tho New York
World: Whec. af,nr a lifetime do
voted to woman suffrage, Miss
Phoebe Cousins, of st. Louis, advises
all young women to marry and let
public life alone, it is certainly good
advice. Miss Cousins has bcen ono
Of tho most practical Of new women.
I remembor when she was deputy
United States marshal and in active
charge Of the Office under her invalid
father. Sho armed large force of
"specials" and sent thom to the polls
with a display of bulldog revolvers,
which exasperatod everybody on tho
other side. But she did not mind
that in tho least. When woman
of that kind decides that, after all it.
is best to bo feminine, her conversion
is indeed notable.

which position ho filled until Jan
uary 3Oth, 1896, whom he was unan-
imously elected Associate Justice.
BY his uniform courtesy, kindness
and fairness rs Speaker he received
tho appreciation of all factions and
parties. No Speaker had been moro
popular or won moro praise from
members Of all political faiths for
his manner Of conducting and OK
pcditing tho business of tho body
over which he presided. Ho was
elected n member Of the constitu-
tional convention, in which body he
took a prominent part and was
chosen vico president. Besides
these honors, Mr.. JUS tice Jones was
for years county chairman of tho
Democratic party, chairman of the
Congressional district and member
Of tho State executive committee.
While thus full Of political honors
from his follow citizons, Mr.. Justice
Jones has not been noted only in po-
iitical way. In educational matters
he has always been foremost. Be-
sides being member of tho board
of trustees of the South Carolina
College and Erskine College, he is a
member Of the board Of the Ian
caster graded school, Il school which
was started largely through his
instrumentality, and has assumed a
high position among such schools in
the State. At the opening of Win
throp College he took a prominent
part in the corner stone laying exer-
ciscs, delivering the dedicatory ad-
dress. In charitable works ho let's
not his loft hand know what his right
hand dooth. His good deeds havo
made many q poor man, woman and
child happy Of which tho world has
never known.
Mr. Justice Jones married Miss
Rebecca Wyse, daughter of tho late
Capt. Joseph Wyso, of Edgofold,
now Sulnda. He has living two sons
and three daughters. Ho is CON
sistent member of tho Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian Church, being
an elder of the church at Lancaster,
as we'll as the superintendent of tho
Sunday School Of tho same church.
AS Judge, Mr.. Justice Jones is
making one Of tho ablest. His
opinions are clear and to the point.
His mind is marked by great fair
ness, vigor and acutoness.

Rev. Sam Jones Tells How y, wYpnpcra
Should BE Run.

Rcv. Sam p. Jones, together with
several other ministers of Atlanta, has
complained somewhat bitterly Of lato
against tho newspapers instructing
tho clcrgy what to preach about.
What Mr.. Jones considers is nows
and what he considers is not nows is
certainly interesting, whether it DO
instructive ornot.
"a newspaper" said Mr. Jonos, in
response to Il question, "should print
all tho news but nasty nows. [ do
not consider tho fact that Bill Smith
committed suicide or John Brown
shot woman Of bad rcputo is tho
right kind of stuff with which to fill
upa reputable newspaper. Evory
day I SEQ choice assortment of
murders, arsons, suicides, prizo
fights, dog fights, bull fights and
other back alloy narations dishod up
in the daily paper for my dolecta-
ton. That sort Of news may be
published in answer to Il demand
from part of tho papers constl-
tucnts, but this is not tho part that
gives it permanent support.

Democrat, said tho best newspaper
man was tho follow who know where
hell would break loose next. That's
fair definition Of tho average blood
and thunder writer. L ll1o bost tho
newspaper that can tell whore
heaven is going to do something
next.
"Tho pages Of Il newspaper arc
like tho rooms of a house. If have
n doad rat in one room of my house,
4 doad cat in another, Il dead dog in
another, q dead snake in another, a
dead COW in my door yard, and
dead horse in my lot, I will either
movc my dead animals or family.
There is dead thing of somo sort
on noarly every page Of tho news
papers | pick up these days. Either
tho dead things must be moved out
Of tho newspaper OF tho newspaper
thrown out tho town."
