Notes from C0nneross.

There was a large crowd out last Sun
day at ConnerOss to hear Rev. A. p.
Marett preach his first sermon as pastor
of that church. His sermon was appro-
pirate; earnest and thoughtful. Dir.
Marett Is one of the best men we have,
and is very free from pretension and con-
ceit, which ruin so many men. His re-
marks after the sermon were very sug-
gestve. The church will very likely
move forward in divine things, as their
pastor is full of the work. His subject
was The source of the church's
strength" 1t speaks we'll for church
to select man full of the cause, as it
shows that they have the work of the
Master at heart rather than a big name.
After the services were over at the
church part of the people went home,
but the following VENT to Mr.. w. 0.
Alexander's: MeSsrs. Ollie Riley, Clinto
Barker, Claude Abbott, Earle Seaborn,
Haskell and Plumer Abbott, Clinton
Marett, Joe Dilworth and Julius Hesse
Misses Ada Marett, Mamie Hesse, Lille
Abbott, Ruth Hunnicutt, Kate and Sallie
Abbott, May Messer and Cornelia Marett
The writer and his wife and baby, little
Justus, were there, too. This crowd OF
visitors and Mr.. Alexander s family made
quite a congregation. Then all of those
mules and horses--wh&t an expensive
crowd. But that.is what man gets by
having so many pretty, charming girls
II Mr.. Alexander didn't have such large
house and well.filled barn he couldn'
stand many days like last Sunday. ""

A Monument to Gonzales.

Capt. John j. McMahan, retiring
State Superintendent of Education,
furnishes the following card for pub
lication:
con Sunday there went up from
our churches public prayer for 'our
great citizen To-day we, buried
him and we feel that his place can
not be filled-that the pen of Con
zales' cannot be matched, nor his
fearlessness in exposing wrong.
"Although private citizen he has
been a public man in South Carolina ;
foremost and as such will live in
her history, as will few of the men
who have held office. Nobly has he
spent his life for his fellow citizens.
Taking upon himself the burden of
serving the public, he allowed no in
terest and no danger to swerve him
from the course pointed out by his
conscience. His work has been to
mould thought and sentiment, TO set
in motion the subtlest Influences of
idealism and conscience, to pour his
spirit into the minds of men and
change their lives as none but God
can compute. Such life must live
on forever in the lives of all South
Carolinians. Brilliantly and heroic
ally has he illustrated the opportu-
nifty and the mission of patriot edi-
tor, the foremost preacher of modern
society.
"To no man does the new Colum-
bia owe so much as to N. G. Con
zales. Turning his energies from
leadership in factlonal politics, in
which all our people had for while
been engulfed, he led in the magic
upbuilding of Industrial Columbia,
astonishing all by his genius for
leadership in the arts of peace.
Keenly alive to all the interests of
the city and the State, indefatigably
striving for agricultural and manu-
featuring development, social and
educational reforms, he has earned
the gratitude of us all.
cit is due ourselves that we make
some public recognition of these
great public services. Nor should we
lose the opportunity to impress upon
the younger generation the wor, h of
high character and our appreciation
of it's achievements. | but voice the
feeling in the hearts of many when
suggest that we erect to his memory
an enduring monument with suitable
inscription, recording his service and
his noble courage and intrepidity."-

The Militia Bill Signed.

Washington, January 21.-Presi,
dent Roosevelt signed the militia
bill this afternoon in the presence OF
Secretary Root, Secretary Shaw,
Assistant Secretary Sanger, mem
bers of the House committee on mill.
tary affairs and others. After the
President had signed the bill Secre-
tary Root delivered brief speech OF
congratulation on the enactment OF
30 excellent measure. Gen. Dick,
the author of the bill and the presi.
dent of the National Guard Assooia-
ton, made fitting response. Presi-
dent Roosevelt then spoke of the
merits of the bill. He expressed the
hope that no President ever would
be confronted by such an emergency
as would render it necessary for him
to avail himself of the services of the
troops provided for in tho bill, but
congratulated the committee and the
country on its enactment and said
he regarded the citizen soldiery of
the nation as most important fac
tor in the protection of the country.

were constant and were kept up SO
long that the Governor evidently
found it very long before he could
make. his exit and he was stopped
very frequently when seen on the
streets for a short while. When the
Inauguration was over Governor
Hayward was interviewed, asking
what disposition he would make of
the very large accumulation of spe-
cial delivery letters, kilograms, petit
tions and applications now awaiting
his attention.
Replying, Governor Hayward said
81 shall not attempt TO give my at
tention at present TO making dispen-
cary constab1lary appointments.
Most probably these will not be at
tended to until after the Legislature
adjourns. l shall now devote my
entire time to familiarizing myself

cially shall try to keep up with the
work Of the General Assembly, aud
SO be prepared forprompt response
to all calls demanding my attention"
Governor Hayward was further
asked as to his policy, and if he
would send any special messages to
the Legislature.
Replying, the Governor said that
"Governor McSweeney had given
ourlaw- makers good food for thought
and had covered the ground we'll"
He added that his "inaugural address
had expressed his views upon the
issues and needs of the situation
fully and that he would only be
ready at any time for Immediate re-
sponse to any official call made upon
him."

STATE FAIR LOSES TWO OFFICERS.
Col. Thomas w. Holloway and Nal. A. H
White Dead.

AT O'clock this morning the
news reaches The State upon the
arrival of the train from Greenville
of the unexpected death of one of
South Cardinals finest, best mem
Col. Thomas w. Holloway, of Po-
maria, Newberry county. 1t is a
sad coincidence that the announce
ment of the death of the dis
tinguished President of the South
Carolina Agricultural and Mechani-
cal Society had just been written,
when the news came of the death of
the popular and efficient Secretary
of the same organization.
Col. Holloway has been suffering
more or less with rheumatism since
last fall, having had severe attack
last fair week. Up to few days
ago he was confined to his room, but
was up on Monday. Last night at
II o'clock he died very unexpectedly.
Col. Tom Holloway was one of
natures noblemen no finer South
Carolinian ever lived. His friend
ship was undying. His devotion to
his State was part of his existence.
He stood for all that was high and
elevating. For several years condi-
tions were such that but for Col.
Thomas w. Holloway the State
Fair would never have been in ex-
iatence to-day there were times
when the Fair Society was Thomas
w. Holloway.
Col. Thomas w. Holloway was
born in Newberry county March %,
1929. His school advantages were
limited, but by wise and careful
self-culture he has acquired a ready
and accurate knowledge of the Eng
lish language, and accumulated a
large fund of useful information on
general subjects. At the age of Is
years he was bereft of father and
mother and was compelled to rely on
his own efforts to support himself
and to prepare for life's duties.
In 1916 he went to Columbia and
engaged himself as cleark in o
grocery store, until the Columbia
and Greenville railroad was built, 25
miles from Columbia, where he was
placed in charge of the freight de-
partment. The road being con-
tinued to Newberry, he was trans
ferred to that place as agent, but at
that time he was too young to give
a bond.
In 1852 Mr.. Holloway was elected
cashier of the Bank of Newberry,
which position he held until he pur-
chased a farm at Pomaria in 1855,
engaging at the same time in mer.
chandising and farming. The for
mer business he continued until
1890, while also giving his attention
to the supervision of his farm, of
which he was very fond.
He has employed his unwearying
energies in bis spare time in per-
forming the pressing duties of Sec
retary of the State Agricultural and
Mechanical Society of South Caro-
lima.
Col. Holloway was a member of
Pomsria Grange, No. 81, X. of H.,
at it's organization, and the first
worthy master. The State Grange
was organized in 1878, and he was
the worthy steward until 1877, when
he was elected secretary, which po-
sition he held until that order was
superseded by the Alliance.
Col. Holloway became a member
of the State Agricultural and Me-
chanical Society of South Carolina

head clerk under the late Secretary,
A. G. Summer, and also under
Robert G. Gage, who succeeded Col.
Summer, until the war between the
States.
In 1869 the Society was reorgan-
ized with Gen. johnson Hagood as
president and the late d. Wyatt
Aiken as secretary. Under this or
ganization Mr.. Holloway held the
position of head clerk until 1874,
when Col. Aiken declined reelection
and Mr.. Holloway succeeded him as
secretary and treasurer. Owing to
the increased work of the two posi-
tions the two offices were divided q
few years ago, and he has for many
years been secretary alone.
Under his judicious management
the State fairs have been a series
of progressive successes. Col. Hol-
loway has repeatedly received the
merited distinction of being the
most aggressive and best qualified
secretary in any of the States.
Col. Holloway has been twice
married. By his first union he has
three children and ID grandchildren.
His second wife is still living, as are
their two children, a son and daugh.
ter.
His faith was in connection with
the Lutheran church, and he has
been a member of the Board of
Trustees of Newberry College for
many years. BY his active interest
in this institution, and in other ways
he showed himself the friend and
patron of higher education.

A. III. WHITE DEAD.

Mr.. A. Hutchison White died sud
denly in his home in Rock Hill last
Monday night of heart failure. His
death occurred at about II o'clock
and was entirely unexpected.
Mr.. White had been out in attend
ance of meeting of the session of
the First Presbyterian church. He
had participated in the proceedings
with his usual deep interest, and re-
turning took seat by the fire and
engaged in conversation with his
wife. There was lull in the con-
versation and while still sitting up
right, Mr.. White began to gasp.
Seeing that something was wrong,
Mrs. White hurried to the telephone
and called doctor, and when she
returned her husband was dead.
Mr.. White was one of the best
known, most solid and substantial
citizens who has lived in York
county during his generation. He
was born within the present limits
of the town of Rock Hill, on Febru-
ary II, 1843, and lived in the town
all of bis life up to the time of his
death. Possessed of considerable
wealth early in life, and being of a
disposition that sought before any
thing else the welfare of his fello ws,
he contributed much to the upbuild-
ing of his native town materially,
morally and religiously. No news
paper article would suffice to men
tion in detail his many successful
achievements along the lines men
toned.
Not only was Mr.. White promi-
nent and important in Rock Hill, but
he was respected and esteemed
throughout the county and the
State. He was one of York coun-
ty's chosen delegates to the Consti-
tutional Convention of 1895, and
has for years taken an active part in
all that promised for the industrial,
agricultural and social development
of the State. He stood high in the
church of his fathers--the Presby-
terian church--being a ruling elder.
He stood higher in Masonry than
did any other South Carolina NOM
ber of the order. He was President
of the State Agricultural and Me-
chanical Society, and held various
other positions of honor and trust.
| Although engaged at different
times in various manufacturing,
commercial and financial enterprises,
mainly in order to help them along,
his principal vocation WAS farming
