Rural Free Delivery Boxes.

Senator Tillman has offered an
amendment to the post Office appro-
priation bill which div"cts the Post
master General to furnish the patrons
of the rural free delivery service
with metal boxes of uniform size,
which are to be sold at cost ard not
exceeding fifty cents each. This is
long step towards improving the
service, and unless Congress adopts
a measure of this kind the rural free
delivery will fail TO large extent in
proving its efficiency so far as the
poorer classes are concerned.
A Washington correspondent says
this amendment provides for the pur-
chase by the United States of locked
iron mail boxes in wholesale quanti-
ties and their sale to the farmers on
the rural free delivery routes at gov
ernment cost. Under the present
laws and regulations of the post
office department the patrons of the
rural free delivery are forced to pur-
chase these boxes from one of four
teen firms named by the department
at a cost of from one to three dollars
each, or else get no delivery.
This arbitrary regulation gave the
manufacturers of the boxes specified
by the post Office department a
chance to form a combine and fleece
the public by charging exorbitant
prices. Senator Tillman's amend
ment, which was adopted, protects
the farmer against extorIion by this
box combine by limiting the price of
the boxes to fifty cents each. Sena-
tor Tillman said in Offering this
amendment that it was to prevent
the farmers from being robbed under
the law which compels them to pur-
chase these boxes.

rating in this movement, and has
made sensible speech in the House

Fatal Fish. In Saloon.

San Antonia, Texas, April 49,
An unknown man about 35 years of
age was shot and killed by officers in
a saloon this morning about 2 o'clock.
His suspicious conduct in the place
caused the police to be notified and
Officers Taylor, Harvey and Hughes
responded and located the man in a
rear room. AS soon as the door was
opened the stranger drew a pistol
and Officers Harvey and Hughes
grappled with him. He fred at
Taylor over Harvey's head, burning
the latter's face. Taylor then fred
three shots, one of them taking
effect in the heart of the stranger,
killing him instantly. Officer Har-
vey was grazed by one of Taylor's
bullets.
The dead man appeared to be
about 35 years of age, was Eve feet
five inches high, fairly well dressed
and weighed about 145 pounds.
When searched two pistols were
found on him, also two wallets, one
containing 800, the other S24O in
currency, and $65 in bills was found
in his socks. He had two spectacle
cases, one stamped with the name of
a Little Rock merchant and another
that of Beaumont firm. He had
no papers about him by which he
might be identified.

Lowndesville, S. c., April IA, 1902.
Hon. w. N. Graydon, Abbeville,
S. C.-Dear Sir: Your communica-
tion of the 9Th instant, addressed to
myself and Mr.. Wyatt Aiken, duly
noted.
Will say in reply / am ready and
willing at all proper times TO submit
my claims for political preferment to
the people of Abbeville county, but
May is not the proper time to ask
the people to decide between the
aspirants from Abbeville county. In
my judgment, the convention of the
Democratic party of Abbeville county
has not the power to order prelimi-
nary primary to decide as to who
shall aspire to represent the Third
Congressional District.
l have heard of no demand by the
people for such primary. And in
my judgment this would be combi-
nation of the people of Abbeville
county against the candidates of
other counties.
AS [ am opposed to all combina-
tions in politics within the Demo-
cratic party, therefore, I respectfully
decline to accede to your proposition.
Respectfully, /. II. McCalla.

Wyatt Aiken's Reply.

Abbeville, S. c., April 18th, 1902.
Hon. w. N. Graydon, Abbeville,
S. C.-Dear Sir: Your open letter
addressed to Hon. l. H. McCalla
and myself, relative to the race for
Congress in this the Third Congress
sional District, has been received.
The position of Congressman is
high and honorable one, and there
are but few men who would not
accept so distinguished place in
the councils of the nation. In seek
ing this high position have acted,
not alone upon my own desires, but
have yielded to the urgent sugges-
tions of many patriotic and discreet
men in all sections of this Congress
sional District. Since my candidacy
has become generally known the
assurances and encouragement have
received from all parts of the Dis
trict are greater than had expected.
If your proposition should be agreed
to by Col. McCalla and myself the
winning candidate would unquestion-
ably be made target for the other
counties, for there can be no better
way of insuring the defeat of can
didate from any county than by put
ting him before the District as that
county's primary election candidate.
| am aspiring to- represent the
whole district, and in 80 doing I can
not give my consent to any PROPOSE
tion that would tend to foster antago-
nism between the several counties.
Campaign year is coming to be
regarded with something of dread by
our people anyhow, and /, for one,
do not propose to be a party to
bringing about primary election
before the regular primary, and be-
cause, too, it would be a great hard
ship on our farmers, especially at
this important season.
We have no assurance that we
will be the only candidates from this
county or that the winning man in
this suggested primary of yours will
secure the votes received by the
defeated two. 1t seems like presum.
ing too much on the freedom of
others and arrogating to ourselves
too much of importance to say to
the Independent, Intelligent voters of
this county "No other candidate
shall announce we will hold pri-
mary election; and all of you must
support the winner"
For the reasons given, and for
others not necessary to mention now,

The Yorkville Enquirer says :
"Senator McLaurin spoke Monday
against the pending Chinese exclu-
sion bill. He thinks the measure is
unnecessarily drastic and calculated
to work much harm without being
one bit more effective than the pres
ent law in accomplishing the results
desired. He also holds it to be in
violation of solem treaty obligations.
He hopes that the pending bill will
be killed, and that the Geary law,
which is entirely satisfactory, be not
lnterfered with at least until after it's
force shall have expired by limita-
ton. Otherwise, he is apprehensive
that the cotton interests of the South
will suffer seriously"

us and "be not high minded but
fear" So of adversely. Misfortune
makes some ren and women sour
and fretful and disagreeable. They
never learn the lessons of patience
and submission. They are out of
sorts with the world and sweetness
and gentleness are not manifest.
Adversely and prosperity may both
be Gods instruments for our per.
fecting; and it means much to find
a man able to bear both experiences
without blame.
am often struck with the fact
that strong characters are rarely self
conscious. Great men don't usually
talk of themselves. They are
others may say they are. There is
difference. Somehow we get sus.
picious of one who is always telling
us how good, or how brave, or how
generous he is. We recognize this
III our intercourse. The braggart we
suspect is coward until his bravery
is proved. The profession of holi-
ness makes us suspect hypocrisy.
The older / grow the more firmly |
believe that men are TO be judged by
real results-not by their words.
Had you gone to that quiet home on
Senate street and, setting on it's
piazza, talked to the aged hero about
how brave he was, he would have
blushed and changed the subject.
Yet no man ever doubted his cour-
age, or his sincerity, or his truth, or
personal integrity. So, perhaps,
there would have been nothing said
of the personal religious experience.
There are some things too sacred for
the common intercourse of life.
We must, for we can, Judge only
by the real outcome of life and char
acter. No man can doubt that be-
meath the patriotism and political
wisdom, beneath the sterling worth
and gentlemanly polish, beneath the
simplicity of prosperity and the dig
nifty and patience of adversely, there
was a simple, sincere, reverent, hum
BILE faith in God and in the cross of
Jesus Christ. We need not be
troubled if in any life we find no
great religious enthusiasm, no won
derful spiritual experiences, no loud
profession of faith and love, if in the
daily life we find purity, truth, honor,
integrity, loyalty, sweetness and self
sacrifice. 1t is the life we want, not
the outward profession; and only by
the life can we judge men. Let us
treasure the real greatness of the
dead hero. May the ideals of his
life be ours TO lead to the same real
worth of life for ourselves and for
others.
Wade Hampton 'served his gene
ration by the will of God"-how we'll
history will tell hut we must not for
get that his sterling worth and sim
pie, sincere righteousness are SER
vice to all generations; for l hold
that he serves mankind who teaches
us how to be men.

avowed candidate for Congress, pub
lished an "open letter" to Messrs.
Wyatt Aiken and 1. II. McCalla,
two other gentlemen of that county,
who are also Congressional oandi-
dates, proposing to hold "prelini-

have the solid support of Abbeville
in the general primary in August.
Mr.. Graydon's letter is as follows !:
Abbeville, S. O., April 9Th, 1902
Messrs. l. II. McCalla and Wyatt
Aiken.-Dear Sirs AS all three of
us have announced our intentions of
running for Congress from the
Third District, and as it will, to a
certain extent, be against the inter
ests of all three of us to have three
candidates from one county, and
that a small one, desire to submit
TO you this proposition.
l propose that we leave it to the
Democratic voters of this county to
say by their votes which one of us
shall make the race from this county,
the matter to be determined at a
preliminary primary election to be
held some time during the month of
May next, the time to be fixed and
the managers appointed by the
county convention of the Democratic
party, which meets salesday in May
next. The one receiving the highest
number of votes in said election to
make the race, and the two others
retiring from the contest. | respect
fully request that you favor me with
an early reply to this letter.
