That shonts's Place Is at Panama.
WASHINGTON, Feb. John F. Wallace,
former chief engineer Of the Panama Canal,
closed his testimony before the Senate
Committee on Interoceanic Canals to-day.
He said that the chief engineers salary
could not be made too high and that he
should have unlimited authority. He rec
commended that the canal be built by con-
tract. preferably in one contract. Mr.
Wallace thought Gov. Magoon's salary
was not too high, but he believed that if
Chairman Shonts remained in this country
purchasing supplies his salary ought to
be cut.
He recommended that the administrative
head of canal work should be on the Isthmus,
not in Washington, He advised the crea-
ton Of an executive committee of three
the principal officer with highest authority
to be on the lsthmus, the second in impor-
tance to be Governor of the Zone and the
third to be in Washington in charge of the

"Tribute to a Dog.

Senator Vest, Of Missouri, was at
tending court in country town, and
while waiting for the trial Of n ease
III which he was interested, he was
urged by the attorneys in dog case
to help them. Hc was paid fee of
$3.50 by the plaintiff. Voluminous
evidence was introduced to show that
the defendant had shot the dog in
malice, while the other evidence went
to show that the dog had attacked
the defendant. Vest took no part in
the trial and was not disposed to
speak. The attorneys, however, urg-
ed him to make speech, else their
client would not think he had earned
his fee. Being thus urged, he arose,
scanned the face Of each juryman for
a moment, and said:
Gentlemen of the jury-The best
friend man has in the world may
turn against him and become his
enemy. His son or daughter that he
has reared with loving care may prove
ungrateful. Those who are nearest and
dearest ito us, those whom we trust
with our happiness and our good
name, may become traitors to their
faith. The money that a man has
he may lose. 1t flies away, perhaps,
when he needs it most. A mans re-

For u. s. Marshal.

From the Union Progress of recent
date it is learned that Mr.. C. Nj. Gra-
ham will be an applicant for U. S.
marshal for the western district Of
South Carolina in the event the new
district is created. Mr.. Graham lived
in Newberry for several years where
he was assistant postmaster. He is
well fitted for the position. and the
Herald and News will be glad to see
him secure it in case the position
is created. The Union Progress has
the following to say of Mr.. Graham
in connection with his application:
He has some very strong endorse
ments from prominent people through
the Piedmont section. By reason OF
his long experience in government
work, is well qualified for the posi-
ton. He was assistant postmaster
at Newberry five years, and in 1898
Captain Lawson d. Melton, just ap-
pointed United State Marshal, rec
ognizing his abilities as thorough
office man, selected him for the most
difficult and responsible position in
his office. Mr.. Graham filled this
position for four years, or until Capt.
Melton's term expired. His accounts
and records were kept in such a man-
ncr as to bring favorable comment
from the Attorney Generals office
at WnShinrton.
Mr.. Graham states that he is MAX
ing the race on his merits, and is not
asking the help of any of the repub-
leans who have been notoriously y pro-
minent in South Carolina.
He stands we'll in this, his home
town, and possesses the respect and
esteem of all classes. He has never
been identified with republican poll
ties, but by reason of his views on
the tariff, he has always been consid-
Grad national republican. Unlike
the Tolberts, and others, he has never
sought office heretofore.

may be the first to throw the stone
of malice when failure settles its
cloud upon our heads. The one un-
selfish friend that man can have in
this selfish world, the one that never
deserts him, the one that never proves
ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.
A mans dog stands by him in pros
perity and poverty, in health and in
sickness. He will sleep on the cold
ground, where the winds blow, and
the snow drives fiercely, if only he
may be near his masters side. He
will kiss the hand that has no food to
offer; he will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter with the
roughness Of the world. He guards
the sheep Of his pauper master as if
he were q prince. When all other
friends desert he remains. When
riches take wings and reputation falls
to pieces, he is as constant in his love
as the sun in its journeys through the
heavens.
eff fortune drives the master forth
an outcast in the world, friendless
and homeless, the faithful dog asks
no higher privilege than that of ac-
companying him, to guard him against
danger, to fight against his enemies.
And when the last scene of all comes,
and death takes the master in it's
embrace, and his body is laid away
i'll the cold ground, no matter if all
other friends pursue their way, there
by the graveside will the noble dog be
found, his head between his paws,
his eyes sad, but open in alert watch
fulness, faithful and true even in
DEATH. -
Then Vest sat down. He had spok-
ell in low voice, without any gesture.
He made no reference to the evidence
or the merits of the case. When he
finished, judge and jury were wiping
their eyes. The jury returned ver-
dict in favor Of the plaintiff for $500.
He had sued for 5000.
