three full days, the pendulum petered
out, the hands stuck fast, and only
strenuous shake could make the wheels
go round. Spiritless in the sullen task,
they worked uphill the grain and grav-
fly of the hour Without the master
whom they had learned to love, they
fingered under the whip of one whom
they have learned to fear. Stripped OF
premediatated pomp and shorn of
soothing phrase, the occasion meant no
more or less than an era of boots and
spurs. Take away the tribute to the
dead and all that is left is horseman
on the slopes of San Juan. Remove the
reverend black that tells of nations
grief, and underneath is khaki uni
form. Withhold the record made by
hands and hearts now still, and all that
Is left Is usurpation's bold account.

smile Of peace and see the grim and

1--WE appeal to every Democrat from
everywhere to forget the bitter war
fare Of the past; forget the strife and
anger Of the older. other days; abandon
all the grudge and rancor Of party dis
content, and. recalling with ever-in-
creasing pride, the triumphs Of our ff-
ty years Of constitutional government
OF liberty and peace-here and new re-
solve to make the future record that re-
splendent reach Of time IN which liber-
ty and peace went up and down the ma
lions of the earth, building their king
dom in the hearts Of men and gathering
the harvest OF genius and toll; in which
reason struck from the hand OF force
the sword Of hate and plucked from the
heart OF war the germ OF greed; In
which conscience smote the thoughts
Of wrong and filed the mind with mer-
cy's sweet restraint; in which power
grew In the human brain. but refused
the shelter Of a glittering crowd; IN
which the people Of all lands and ton
gues, awakened to hope by the inspira-
ton OF our example, followed with the
march of years the luminous pathway
leading to a destiny beyond the reach
OF vision and within the providence Of
God. In this spirit. New York nomi-

DcaIll Of NrS. Jane /. Todd.

Mis-. Jane l.. Todd died at the resi-
lcncc OF her daughters in law, Mrs.
jamie +. Todd. in this city last Thurs.
day afternoon. She was one of the
best and most lovable of women, and
tor the period Of more than half a cen
fury III which she lived in this city her
influence for good has been incalcu
liable. Mrs. Todd was in the Siih year
OF her age, and was perhaps the oldest
resident of the city. She was the
widow of the late Archibald Todd,
who published the old Anderson Gazette
before the war.
Mrs. Todd had always been Il most
devoted member OF the First Presby :.
tcrlan Chnlrh, and not even the bur
den OF age prevented her from attend
ing the regular Church services. The
funeral services were held in the
CLur"h Friday afternoon. being con-
,iuctrd; IN the absence of Rev S. j.
taNlchgc on account of illness, by
Rev. IL. X. MurchisOn. The remains
were inferred in the Churchyard Gene
terry.
Mrs. Todd left five sons surviving
lcr. They are: John w. Todd, Of
Seneca. y. w. Todd. of Charleston, A.

The Trolley Line Survey Completed.

The survey of the line Of the inter
Urban trolley from Grcenvillc to An
dersOn was completed yesterday morn
ing, with the exception of detail work
on the terminals and that part of the
line lying within the city. Mr. Knight,
the chiet engineer of the corps, is not
in the city and definite details rs to
pass to the station could not be obtain
ed. 1t is probable. however, that this
will not be decided until the rights of
oSay and land for the station and side
tracks are obtained.
In the preliminary survey made by
j. +. Shrine some time ago, Perry
avenue was selected as the street of
exit and entrance to the city, and it is
thonght that the route will follow this
1irst survey. The engineers came in to
the city yesterday morning and con
7 tlnued their work through Main street
! up to Washington in front of the oili-
-res of the Greenvile Traction Com
pany.
superintendent Bliven of the latter
rangement was to be made between
the interurban and the city railway
Tor union station of any kind, but he
said that he knew nothing of any
agreement between the two concerns
: and was not in position to say
whether or not any arrangement
had been made or was even contem-
plated.
The distance from Greenville to An
iiersOn is said to be exactly thirty ono
miles by the route OF the proposed in
ternrban just selected by The engineer
ing corps. 1t follows the present right
OF way of the Southern to Anderson,
touching all of the important towns
along the route That does not mean
OF course that the two tracks will be
parallel by any means. AT some points
they will converge and run for some
miles close together and ct others they
will be three or four miles, perhaps
further apart
The engineers are thoroughly pleas
ed with the route selected and the
prospects Of its making an excellent
roadbed. While the grading has been
reduced to low figure the road will
be free of sharp curves aud the very
highest speed will be possible.
AS was announced by DR.. COughlin
several weeks ago. the equipment of
the company will be of the best and
most improved type of electrical ma
chinery. The cars will be full sized
and equally as comfortable as >the best
cars in use on steam railways. They
will be fitted with high power motors
capable of hauling trains over the thir-
ty-one miles within ali hour, including
stops ut the various stations along the
line. One decided advantage possess
ed by an electric railway is the rapidity
with which the cars can be started and
stopped.
The power is applied direct to the
cars and the struggling locomotive in
its efforts to move heavy train is elm
