Denver Dots.

We have had some showers OF ram
which did the gardens and growing
crops an immense amount OF good.
Still we have not had as much rain as
we wished and think we need. But
while the dry weather continues the
farmers have good chance to get their
crops clean, and in good fix for the
rain, which will come bye and bye.
There is still much sickness in our
community. Mr.. jim Wooten and
baby, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Elrod, Mr.. Y.
Y. Browning and others have all been
quite sick, butare about well again.
Mr.. A. E. Browne does not seem to
improve much, we regret to say.
Mrs. Glasgow and daughter, OF
Davidson, N. c., have been visiting
the family Of Mr.. A. B. Bowden.
Mr. Waddy T. Bowden reached home
Monday from Washington. His friends
are glad to see him after an absence OF
five months.
Cadet VIII Garrison came down home
from Clemson last Sunday quite sick.
We hope he will soon recover.
Mrs. J. r. Garrison and children, ac-
companied by her father-in-law, Mr..
w. d. Garrison, visited relatives in
Walhalla last week. FL the bracing
atmosphere of that Mountain City they
hoped to recuperate from recent ILL
ness.
Rev. A. B. Watson visited the sick in
and around Denver last week. We
found him to be quite pleasant socially
and an excellent pastor as we'll as
preacher.
Mount Zion Sunday School is to pic
mic at Portman Shoals next Thursday.
The young folks are anticipating very
pleasant day.
MI. Willie Erwin is at home again,
much to the delight Of his friends.
Some Of the young people of Denver
had the pleasure Of attending a lawn
party at Portman Shoals last Saturday.
It was given by the young men en-
ployed in the electric light works,
under the chaperonage OF Mr.sand Mrs.
Busby who keep the hotel there. The
young people report a most delightful
time, boat-riding by moonlight and
other amusements. The young men
very kindly showed them much that
was of interest about the power house,
and Mrs. Busby served them with ele-
CANT refreshments. Nothing was left
undone which could make the time
pass pleasantly, and as the crowd
weDded their way homeward they
wished themselves many happy returns
of the occasion. lNCoG.

Both Of these distinguished gentlemen
made very interesting, short speeches,
which were attentively listened to,
and in the afternoon the Hon. Joshua

talk on the legislative workings, and
this wound up the speaking of the day.
But oh, Fay, the speaking had not be-

from then until the departing hour they
made echoes ring from hill to hill with
ripples of laughter, which seem to ill

Surely everyone present enjoyed them

CRAZE FOR PERSONALITIES.
To Cheap Ma a Mans Name Is
Worth More than His Words.

Washington Letter in Boston Transcript.
vvA AE6th T.; craze of editors and publishers
demand for names. The public. they be-
lieve, desire to read what Senator This or
any subject, and anybody else, though he
speak with the tongue of men and of an
gels, is not worth a hearing. This wish
has a legitimate basis, of course. We
would all rather read William Gladstone's
views on the Eastern question than those of
some equally intelligent Londoner whom we

sort of wisdom through a sieve has become
alarmingly plentiful. The private secre-
tary is usually conservative in his esti-

arrangement as this: Strictly speaking. no

would be regarded as an outrageous viola
ton of honor for e. sophomore to submit a
theme which he had hired some brighter
man TO write. And yet United States sena-
tors not infreQuently deliver speeches
which they would themselves be as incapa-
BILE of writing as a camel would be of
double-entry bookkeeping. One man who
used to be IN the United States Senate ac-
quired a great reputation on account of
some exceedingly able speeches which he
read carefully from manuscript. He was a
rich man and employed a very gifted pri-
vate secretary. who is now one of the lead
ing magazine editors of the country. There
may have been no connection between these
evening to the President of the United
States that this senator had been making
a speech at the Capitol the Presidents first
comment was that the secretary In oues-
ton, calling him by name, must be on duty
again. OF course. the senator's constituents
estimated his ability from his speeches as
published. Their suspicious had not been
aroused as had been those of the President.
One United States senator to-day has
achieved a very considerable reputation
upon speeches that lave been placed in
his hands for delivery. There are always
promoters OF a cause, quiet, studious and
~painstaking, who are only too glad TO have
the results of their study get before the
United States senator. In such a case the
senator In delivering the speech usually
says parenthetically that some OF the data
have been supplied To him, or that he BE-
indebted TO and for a little assist
ance. That little assistance usually includes
more than the insertion of punctuation
marks.
