4 GOOD EXAMPLE.

James Bailey, a respectable
coiored man died on Mir. n. p.
Eobluson's Thomson place last
Thursday morning, aged about
~ years. After he was grown,
the deceased did not have but
one employer. He did not
wish any other. Jim was a
good, truthful, honest, indus
trioua negro-straightforward
in his dealings with members
of both races In many respects
he was far above the average of
his race. His confidence in MIR
Robinson became stronger from
year to year. Jim's church and
the community in which he
lived are poorer by his death
If the members Of the negro
race would emulate the eX-
ample James Bailey has set for
them, the so-called race prob
lem would settle itself in less
than a generation. X.

A RLIGHTED LIFE.
Special TO The State.

Walhalla, July 4.-Some ten
days ago Mr.. p. F. Lacy, an
aged baEer of Seneca, became
an inmate Of the home for the
poor of Oconee county. When
his Old age and Strengthened
circumstances forced him upon
the public charities he told Il
friend in Seneca as he was leay-
ing for the poor farm a secret
which he had kept for % years.
Twenty nine years ago he was
living in Lynchburg, Va where
he had Il good business, but
owing to some trivial misunder-
standing with his family he sold
out his business, placed 81 400

told her to take it for support
of herself and three children
and then turned away. For
nine years he was in the United
State army and after that he
has wandered about aimlessly
till he came to Seneca several
years ago

would see if there was any

terday from Seattle, where he went 20
confer with Prof. David Starr Jordan,
OF Stanford University, who is in charge
of the commission which is to investi-
gate the conditions of the fish and seals
in Alaskan and Arctic waters.
Mr.. Bowers issued final instructions
and arranged the remaining details for
the departure of the steamer Albatross.
on which the party sailed for the North
June Is.
The expedition is one Of the largest
and most complete ever sent out by the
commission" said Mr.. Bowers yester-
day, and the results are certain TO be
of great value. The habits of all the
fish Of the northern ATTITUDES are 10 be
studied, and plans are to be perfected
to breed them artificially. A number OF
permanent breeding stations will I'M

Professors and Doctors.
The party consists of Prof. David

ton Evermann. of the Fish Commission;
Lieut.. Francis Swift, who commands the
Albatross; J. Nelson Wisner, a field
superintendent of the Fish Commission;

The party is expected to return to

Commissioners Bowers passed through
many of the States in which President
Roosevelt received so warm a welcome,
ari the commissioner found that the
President left behind him a popularity
thai is growing daily. The States visited
are Washington. California, Oregon,
Nevada. Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska
Colorado, Kansas, Ohio and Indiana.
Roosevelt's Popularity.
Mr.. Bowers passed through several
other States and had an opportunity to
talk with many influential men. THE
PI esident is the most popular man
known in the West to-day. and it is my
belief that he is going to carry every one
OF the States through which ! made my
way. The impression he left behind him
Is that he is a strong and capable man
and certainly a just one. He seems 10
be the ideal OF the type Of man the peo-
pie want for President
Il learn that many PopuIlsts and
Democrats like him better than any
candidate they can name themselves.
and these men are going TO vote for
HIM. This evidently means that he is
going to carry these States by larger
Inaiorities than they have given in
years"
Mr.. Bowers said he had heard num-
u.er of men mentioned for second place
on the ticket. but that no one had been
settled on definitely.
