A Hero Of Lake Superior.

Few acts stand out more heroic thar
that of Capt. James Jackson, who wor
everlasting fame in the wintry seas o1
Lake Superior. The owners of the freight
er w. F. Sauber sent her out from Duluth
with one last load of iron ore, with Capt
w. E. Morris in command. 1t was late
in November, and winter was setting in
with number of fierce gales from the
north. Of Whiteish point the Sauber
was caught in one of these storms. All
one night she weathered the gale, but
with morning there came binding sleet
with the fierce wind and intense cold
that froze the spray as soon as it touched
the ship. All that forenoon one might
have supposed it was night, with the sun
a pale moon above. During those hours
the "little ice devils" began to weight the
Sauber down. The crew attempted to
clear away the ice as it froze, and light
en- the ship, but no human being could
live in the storm. Upon the lakes, just
as upon the sea, there are many strange
things that happen. On that day there
were Just two vessels on Lake Superior,
and fate decreed that they should meet of
Whitefish Point. While the men on the
Sauber were preparing for death, the
steamer Yale was tearing her way through
the gale toward the 500; and passing
within an eighth of mile of the Sauber,
Captain Jackson sighted the sinking ship.
Then occurred that act which won for
him gold medal, and a heavy purse con-
tributed to by half of the seamen of the
lakes. Although at the time Captain
Jackson was having hard time in keep
ing his own vessel above water, he i'm
mediately brought his vessel to. For
hours the boat continued to toss in the
trough of the sea, which was too heavy
for small boats to attempt rescue in.
Night came, and the vessels drifted with
in stones throw of one another. The
Yale was still comparatively free of ice,
but the heavily laden ore-boat was sink
ing inch by. inch. With the coming of
morning, when the Yale might have been
safely in port, it was found that she, too,
was gradually settling, and that the Sau-
Der would not live an hour longer. Cap
tain Jackson at once called for those men
who were willing to risk their lives in an
attempt at rescue, and went out himself
in the first boat. If bravery was ever re-
warded, it was then. Every member of
the Sauber's crew with the exception of
the captain was carried to the Yale.-Jan-
uary Woman's Home Companion.

OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.
Various Men Named by Prominent Lawyer
and Politician.

"Do you know" said a prominent at
torpey and politician here today on legal
business, "that Columbia may furnish
three candidates for governor in 1902"
The idea was rather new, and the three
were asked for.
"Well, in my section of the State the
second judicial circuit) we look out for
three from Columbia; one, or possibly
two, from the Pee Dee section, and two or
three from the up-country, as it is called.
The situation may be rendered more ex-
citing by the entrance of a candidate from
Kershaw."
The three local possibilities, however,
interested the newspaper man, and he
wanted them.
"Of course you know the lieutenant
governor, John T. Sloan, will run, that's
one. Then the competent adjutant gener
al of the State is talked of. And lastly
one of the most prominent of your bust
ness men-Mr. F. b. Hyatt.
"And how about the man from Ker
shawl" was asked.
THE speaker of the house-Mr. NJ. L
Smith"
"And the Pee Dee section?"
POSSIBLY Mr.. R. P. Hamer, Jr., and a:
side remark there is a chance for Mr.. r
G.. Rhett, the popular young mayor o
Charleston"
"Now, the up-country?"
"Too numerous to NEWFOUNDLAND
Ansel, Senator J. s. Brice, Maj. Blyth'
and many others. It's going to be yer.
interesting affair, and there is possibil
ity of real issues that will cut out the per
sonal friendship VOTE"
As the attorney stated, the race promise
to be most interesting one, although (
long time off, and there is prospect of
great many issues.-Co Columbia Record.

An exchange tells the following good
one on brother who was too stingy to
subscribe for his home paper, but paid
two bits for story paper, in which an ad-
vertisement appeared that a certain firm
would pay II cents for 1902 pennies. He
sent them fifty of the coppers Of the 1902
coinage. He received an immediate re-
ply, saying that just as soon as he sent
1862 more pennies sufficient to make up
the full number of 1902-he would receive
the Il cents. Then he went out behind
the barn and kicked himself for being too
stingy to subscribe for his home paper.
