THE NEW POPE, Plus X.
The Patriarch Of Venice was a Com
promise Candidate.

The conclave of cardinals, after
being ia session for four days, on
August elected Giuseppe Sarto,
Patriarch of Venice, as pope to sue
ceed Leo XIII, and Sarto now reigns
at the Vatican and over the Catholic
world as Plus X.
The election Of the Patriarch Of
Venice was unanimous. After Mon
days ballot it was a foregone cOnclu-
sion that he was the only candidate
sufficiently acceptable to all to secure
the necessary two-thirds that the
laws of the church require.
The new Pontiff is a man of simple
origin, aud although not prominent
candidate, he had been frequently
mentioned as one of the many Car
dinals who might be taken as COM
promise. In several respects he re-
sembles his predecessor, notably in
his reputation for culture aud piety.
Having been associated with no fac
tions, this fact alone won him much
favor from foreign Cardinals who
were without special candidate.
Plus X was humOrously described
as a country mouse who could not
possibly find his way about Rome. "
Venetiaus who knew the new Pope
well say that he will soon be as much
beloved as Pontif as he was yesterday
as the Patriarch of the, poor Of the
Adrlatic. In appearance Plus X is
a handsome man. He has fine,
erect figure, despite his 6S years, his
face greatly resembling that Of the
late Philips Brooks of Boston.
When he pronounced his first ben
ediction Tuesday at St. Peters his
voice rang out with splendid reso-
nance. la every way today he showed
beyond a doubt that he had dignity
aud personality in keeping with the
best traditions associated with the
famous Pontiffs who for centuries
have ruled the Vantician.
Plus X was educated at Treviso aud
later at Padua. He was conservated
as priest at the age of %, became as
sistant parish priest at Tombolo, a
village of 5000, was promoted to the
pastorate OF Salzano in 1867. In 1875
be was elected chancellor of the Bish-
opric of Treviso, then spiritual direc-
tor of that seminary; Judge of the
ecclesiastical tribunal, and finally
Vicar General.
Pope Leo, who had highly appreci-
ated his cleverness, piety and modesty,
/ appointed him in November, 1884, at
the age OF 40 years, Bishop of Mantua,
) where he remained nine years, until
} 1893, when he was made Cardinal,
5 and appointed Patriarch of Venice.
r He there distinguished himself a'
t a thorough reformer, suppresslng al
5 abuses, restoring the dignity of the
clergy and the earneStness Of religion.
Sarto became the idol of the Ven
etians. When his gondola went
through the canals the people rushed
on the bridges and along the sides OF
, the canals, kneeling and saluting, the
, women exclaming, "God bless the

Vexations. Two weeks ago on
Monday, we wrote to our paper mer-
chant in ST. L uis, that our stock of
paper would only last two weeks. Up
to this time we have heard nothing
of the letter or the paper, which we
ordered. On Monday morning we
sent telegraphic dispatch in pursuit
of our letter; but have received no
reply, to either letter or dispatch. 1t
is mortifying to our feelings, to have
to appear on balf sheet at any time;
but this week, when SO crowed with
advertisements and other matters,
that demand notice, it is peculiarly
unpleasant to be compelled to apollo
gise. We have done our very best.
Col. Benton Dead We have con-
versed with an intelligent gentleman
who has just returned from TRIP

and says that he has long face and
heavy countenance, and says that
Benton is anywhere else than among
the dead in the Fifth district. We
give it as our honest conviction that
the Benton party in all the counties
now represented by Maj. Phelps, i:
much stronger than it has ever before
been since the passage of the Jackson
Resolutions We do not make this
statement in pride, but with regret
Phelps's party is too small Tor oul

it; but there is no show for it now

Our New Banks.

On January 1st Mr.. j. ID. Werner
turned over his banking business to The
Bank of Walhalla, whose business will
be conducted in the brick bank building
occupied by Mr.. Werner. The customers
are courteously served by Messrs. w, l..
Werner, cashier, and G.. w. Piteliford,
assistant cashier. Mr.. j. D.. Werner
holds the reins in guiding the business
of The Bank of Walhalh, he having
been elected its president by the stock
holders.
The Peoples Bank was also oponed on
January 1st, aud reports nice start in
the local business world. Mr.. w. O..
White, cashier, meets the patrons of the
new banking institution pleasantly. Mr..
W. A. Strother, president of the institu-
ton, will direct the business of the
bank. This new business enterprise has
handsome brick building on the North
side of Main street for its home.
Both of these financial institutions are
as sound as any of the banks in South
Carolina, though Of course, they do not
claim to control an amount of capital
equal to the larger concerns of the cities
Walhalla may wclr congratulate herself
on opening the year 1908 with two banks
az sound as the dollars they handle, aud
presided over by two such substantial
business men as Messrs. John ID. Werner
and w. A. Strother.

Or. Kinard Goes TO Knoxville.

Columbia State, December 20: "Yester-
day at the close of the morning services
Rev. DR.. NJ. NJ. Kinard, pastor Of the
Ebenezer Lutheran church, announced
to his congregation that he had decided
to 60 to the st. Johns English Luthe-
already accepted the call to that pasto-
rate. His relations with Ebenezer con-
gregation as pastor will conclude with
February, 1908. March l. 1908, DR..
Kinard assumes the duties of his pasto-
rate. DR.. Kinard now enjoys the long
est pastorate of all the white ministers
OF Columbia, with only one exception.
Even now he goes to his new field of
labor without his congregation having
accepted bis resignation which was ten
dered in earnest and urged in like man
ner by himself before the congregation.
He leaves devoted congregation. But
he believes that he answers the call of
duty in accepting the other field. DR..
Kinard leaves also host of friends in
this city in all the churches, and many
IN no church at all, who will wish for
him in the future, let him go where he
may, the greatest possible degree of sue
cess. The EbeneZer church is one of the
strongest in the State and has for years
been fortunate in having the services
of Dr. Kinard. 1t will be difficult to get
another to take up the work just where
DR.. Kinard leaves it Dr. Kinard is
scholarly man and is yet an untrng stu
dent. Though he has had several years
of college and university training, he
never neglects an opportunity to explore
new fields. He declined the chair of
philosophy in Elizabeth College, al
though admirably fitted for that work.
AS preacher he had few equals In this
State. A clear thinker, he was able to
give his congregation sermons full of
dIgestible material, and he was also un-
compromising in his condemnation of
wrong. AS pastor, as a man and as
personal friend he had endeared himself
to many in the city and it is with regret
that they see him prepare to leave. But
best wishes will follow him and his sue
cess In the broader field will give gratii-
cation to tho old friends who have appre.
ciated him here,

Concerning R. r. D.
It may not be generally known by the
public that drop letter on r. +. d.
Route requires a two cent stamp instead
OF a one cent stamp, where the letter is
delivered from the post office. The
Government expects and requires that
its patrons on a route secure a metal
box, one of the many that have been ap-
proved by the Government. II this re.
quirement is not met, it is taken that the
persons along the route do not desire
the rural free delivery. BY owning a
metal box the patron has the full govern
mental protection. The Government ex-
poets the patrons to meet it half way.
