Death OF Capt. Andrew T. Wilson.

Capt. Andrew T. Wilson died suddenly
at his home In Walhalla last Sunday
morning about 8 O'Clock. He was sitting

and was dead when assistance reached
him. He had been suffering for several
months from dropsy, and his health had
been gradually declining. Capt. Wilson
was in his SD year, having been born
November 7, 1922. He was native of
Pickens county, his birth place being in
the Georges Creek neighborhood. He
was Confederate soldier. Shortly after
the outbreak of the war he raised a COM
papy Of volunteers at Marietta, in Green
vile county, of which he was captain,
and rendered excellent service in the
cause of the Confederaoy. His command
was Company G., 10th s. @. regiment,
under Col. j. A. Mccullough. He was a
good citizen, honest and upright, and
was respected by all. He leaves wife
and seven children to mourn his DEATH
His children are: A. j. Wilson, Jackson
vile, Fla; NJ. Wilson, of Oconee; Mrs.
Morgan and Mrs. Yates, Chattanooga,
Tenn; Mrs. Emma Pierce, Seneca; Miss
Lura Wilson, of Walhalla. His remains

THE SENECA SCHOOL TAX MArreR.
Mr. Cary Replies to the Complaint Of "a. e.
H." and Stands for Progress. {.

Seneca, February 2I.-Editors Courier:
Opposition TO the proposed three mill
school tax in District No. 63 is evidently
not the only sore spot on the back Of
"a. Il. /" III 80, he would not attempt
to belittle the efforts Of deserving
young. man, yet in his teens, who,
possibly by reason of his environment,
initials. Nor would he, by insinuation,
attempt to create the impression that
passing the tax measure would mean
two hundred and fifty dollars a year for
clerk for the board of trustees"
have been, and am still, one of the
three trustees in this district, and we
are almost entirely responsible for the
money with which to run the schools.
No idea of q salaried clerk has entered
ths head of either of us.
Neither is 1t necessary to slur at the
ability of the present principal of the
school, who happens to be from Ander-
son county, unless it be case of "winc-
ing Of the CALLED jade"
So far as know, the motive actuating
those who favor the tax are unselfish
ones, aud come from desire to keep
abreast of other communities In school
advantages. The measure has been
fairly placed before the tax payers and
qualified voters of the district to settle,
and venture the assertion that the ad-
vocates of the measure pay as much tax
as those who oppose it.
have never admired jumping into
mon and measures under a veil, and be-
lieve the article of "a. f. l." would
have shown more of the spirit of fair
ness and hanliness, had his name ac-
companied his complaints; but maybe
his cause is strengthened by withholding
his identity.
Let mo say finally that, once year,
during the month of May, think, the
people of each school district can select
at least in No. 63 not averse to being
supplanted at that time, or earlier If de-
sired by q respectable number of decent
people. Respectfully,
+. M. Cary.

Startling But True.

People the world over were Mortified
on learning of the burning of Chicago
theatre in which nearly six hundred peo-
pie lost their lives, yet more than
five times this number, or over 1900 peo-
pie died from pneumonia in Chicago
during the same year, with scarcely a
passing notice. Every one of these cases
of pneumonia resulted from cold and
could have been prevented by the timely
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. A
great many who had every reason to fear
pneumonia have warded it off by the
prompt use of this remedy. The follow
ing is an instance of this sort: "Too
much cannot be said in favor of Cham
herlain's Cough Remedy, and especially
for colds and influenza. i know that 1t
cured my daughter, Laura, of a severe
cold, and believe saved her life when
she was threatened with pneumonia" !"

How Do You Account for Thls7

c. w. Hunt, of Mountain Rest, reports
a curiosity, monstrosity, malformation
or phenomena at his farm in the shape
of a combination calf-half calf and half
mule-which was born last week. Its
feet are those of mule, small and
shapely, and have no sign of the calf's
cloven hoof. Its head and ears also are
quite mulish, bearing decidedly closer
resemblance to a mule than a calf. The
remainder Of the body of the creature is
that of calf. At three days of age the
little freak was alive, apparently healthy
and gave every promise of growing to
maturity

MR.. ANsEL IN WASHINGTON.
Congressman Thought They Entertained the
Next Governor.
[Columbia Record, 1sth.l

Columbia Record, 1Sth1
Washington, February 1s.--Martin f.
Ansel, of Greenville, has been shown
much attention in Washington in the last
few days, and there is a strong feeling
among South Carolina Congressman that
they have been entertaining the next
Governor of the State. Mr.. Ansel was
passing through Washington on his way
home and stopped here with Mrs. Ansel.
They were presented at the White House
by Representative Aiken, and were cor
daily received by the President.
Mr.. Ansel did not care to discuss poll
tics except to say that he expected to be
in the race for Governor year from now
and that he felt that he would be sue
cessful. 81 am receiving 80 much en-
coaragement from every part of the
State,' said Mr.. Ansel, "that 1 have
every right to feel that my ambitions may
be gratifed by the people of the State.
They were most kind to me in the last
race, and am not losing touch with those
who did so much in my behalf and who
have 30 generously promised me their
support in the next race"
Mr.. Ansel did not know what questions
would be most prominently before the
people of the State in the next election
and thought that the time was most too
far off to give consideration to things
now.
There is rather general assent here to
, ha hot f.. II l. A..
foremost man in the gubernatorial con-
test next year. Some of the mon who
are mighty we'll posted as to the affairs
of the State express the belief that Mr..
Ansel may be nominated in the first pri-
mary, regardless Of who opposes him.
The only thing, they say, that is likely to
alter this is that some new and unex-
pectedly important question may arise
which may divert attention toward ques-
tions and away from candidates.
There is no better instance of self
made man in South Carolina than Mr..
Ansel OF honorable, yet most humble,
birth he has fought his way upward.
Born in Oconee county his parents could
not indulge him in the education and pro-
fession that he craved and SO be worked
for them and got them himself. He
worked hard and industriously and went
to the top of the bar in Greenville. Then
he was elected solicitor of his home cir
Quit and held that position through the
troublesome Tillman and anti-Tillman
days of the CO.'S. He realized the bitter
ness that divided fathers and sons In
those times and declined to aid in max.
ing the situation worse by taking sides.
He remained neutral and the people con-
tinued to elect him solicitor. His tact
fulness, earnestness and conservatism
were appreciated even in those days
when men insisted on every man show
ing his colors and getting into the melee
| If he is elected Governor Mr.. Ansel will
have risen to this high honor through
more difficulties than any man who ever
occupied that chair.
