The following taken from the pen of
Mr.. Chas. Calvo, Jr., of Columbia, will be
of interest to all Masons. This article
was written for the State:
The more I see of freemasonry the
greater I am impressed with the sublimity
of its work and teachings, and I advise
every young man able to do so to endeav-
to become initiated into its mysteries upon
reaching his majority. 1t teaches more
religion, love and reverence for God and
inculcates more morality and the practice
of brotherly love than all the theology Of
the churches, and I am firmly persuaded
that man who is a freemason, that lives
up to its precepts, stands mighty good
chance of entering the kingdom of heav-
en-. The masonic work in this jurisdic-
ton, too, is being now exemplifed in a
very handsome manner and many acces-
sions are being made to the order.
At the meeting of Richland lodge, No.
80, A. F. NJ, last night the master maso1's
degree was conferred upon ex-Gov. Dan
iel n. Chamberlain, of South Carolira.
Gov. Chamberlain was made an entered
apprentice and fellow-craft mason in
Pythagorean lodge, Charleston, in 1868,
and 36 years have passed before his
being raised to the sublime degree OF a
master mason. He was carefully tended
during the ceremonies by Maj. James B.
Ezell, with one exception the mason of
longest standing in Columbia, and by
others of the masons, and when low
twelve was announced and the craft was
called off from labor to refreshment, the
"Puritan and the Cavalier" once again
assembled around the board.
Mr.. Chamberlain is now in his 6Sth
year and is spending the winter here for
his health, the guest of Mr.. W. Mob.
Sloan. I was printing and voting against
Mr.. Chamberlain in 1876, and it never
seemed likely then that We would ever
'meet upon the level and part upon the
square" in Columbia lodge. Tempora

General Miles and the Presidency.

Some crank up North has recently un-i
dertsken boom for Gen. Nelson A.:
Miles for the presidential nomination,
either on Democratic or Prohibitions.
platform. The nomination of Gen. Miles,
who may be honest and capable, would
be an insult to the South, inasmuch as II.
is an historical fact, proven without g
shadow of doubt, that this same Gen.
Miles had Jefferson Davis, the noble,
chieftain of the fallen Confederacy, put
in irons while captive at Fortress Mon
roe. q
How many of the old soldiers who bat
tied on the field of carnage for Southern
homes and Southern rights, would think
of voting for such degenerate brute, be-
he Democrat, Prohibitionist or any other
kind of politician while this humiliating
and degrading act is still fresh in their;
memories? It is a waste of time and
logic to consider such proposition, but
if such boom should ever materialize,
the South would be q very unhealthy ter
ritory for the General or his "boosters
to visit in search of votes. The fire OF
patriotism is still burning within the
breasts of our battle-scarred veterans Of
the lost cause, and the memory OF those
dark days that "tried mems souls" is be-
ing handed down to the younger genera:
tions. 81.
Sundays State contained an article from
the pen of Col. John P. Thomas, the re-,
nowned educator and eminent historian,
on the subject of Gen. Miles's inhumans
treatment Of President Davis, while 9:
prisoner in his charge, from which we.
clip the following paragraph:
"The civilized world to-day condemns
the deed of Gen. Miles. As Nathan said
unto David, so does the outraged South
say to Gen. Miles, "Thou Art the Man. 3.
Yes, Miles fettered the ankles Of his noble
captive, but could not bind his soul. Such
being the record, consider the audacity Of
Gen. Miles or of any friend of his who
should expect the imperial South to en-
tertain any claim of Nelson A. Miles TO.
the support of these Southern States in
his role of aspirant for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency OF the
United States. No Southern man, no
man directly or remotely in sympathy
with the late Southern Confederacy; could
for a moment entertain the thought. No,
Southern man having spark Of manhood
in his nature could support the candidacy
of Nelson A. Miles. The ethics Of the
Divine Author of the Sermon on the:
Mount do not require concession like that
implied in accepting the said candidacy. s.

NattersOn Not for Sale.

An interesting story is told by Walter
Wellman, we'll known Washington cor
respondent, in letter to the Philadelphia
Press on March 26, about the Hon. Will
liam Randolph Hearst and the efforts he
is said to have made to secure the services
of Henry W Watterson, ofthe Louisville Cot
rier,Journal, to stay in Washington dur.
ing the present winter and write an oc-
casionai letter to Mr. Hearst's newspapers
for which he is said by Mr.. Wellman to
have been willing to pay the handsome
sum of $25,000. The story is that Mr.
Watterson wrote a polite letter to Mr.
Hearst declining the offer. His declina'
ton, however, was not accepted, and Mr..
Hearst is said to have written to him
again, when Mr.. Watterson again declin-
ed and suggested that there was no better
reason why he should write for Mr.
Hearst's papers than why Mr.. Bennett OF
Mr.. Laffan, or Mr.. Reid, or any other
editor should write for them, and that he
had better try them. Mr.. Hearst still in
sisted upon Watterson's services, and then
the distinguished Kentucky Journalist is
said to have written to Mr.. Hearst as
follows:
"Dear sir: You haven't enough money
in your family, and never will have, to
induce me to write one line for you"
We do not know how much truth there
is in the story, but it sounds a little like
Mr.. Watterson. he has been writing for
newspapers for great many years, and
he is not as rich as some other newspaper
men in this country, but we do not believe
he has ever written single line for pay
in advocacy of any cause which did not
meet with the full approval of his heart
end his conscience.-News and Courier.

In Kentucky.

A severe windstorm in Whitesboro,
KY, last Thursday picked up a hive of
bees and dashed it through farmhouse
window. The hive was demolished, and
the liberated bees soon made it so uncom-
Portable for the human occupants of the
house that they were compelled to vacate
it and rush out in the storm. Lightning
struck a tree in the orchard under which
were several other hives, and all the bees
were shocked to death and the honey in
one hive melted by the heat of the electric
discharge.

not a reduction in fact. The far

today; one who has demonstrated
his sterling honesty and worth,
and his devotion to those princl-
pies which he believes best for the
people of the State.
Mr.. Cornwell is a native of the
county of Hampshire, born and
reared among the rugged noun
tains that hedge in the great
South Branch valley; with a rug
ged honesty of character like that
of the mountains themselves, in

Six years ago he was elected by
the people of the Thirteenth dis

He stood for reform in taxation
before Mr. Dawson and Mr.. White

In the Legislature of 1899 he in
troduced a resolution in the State
Senate looking to the reduction of
the State tax levy, not by sad

ty and increasing valuation, but
by reducing the expenditures OF
the State. .-........
A sterling Democrat, he is still
a representative of the whole PEG.

Governor of West Virginia, will
make a Governor for the whole
people, endeavoring to adjust bur-
dens equally upon all classes and
all interests with special priv.
