II. X. Crenshaw was born April
9th, 1889, and passed TO his reward
ut his home, near Seneca, s.. c., on
November LIST, 1906. He was not
demonstrative man; he said but
little; but suoh' was his life that he
won the confidence of those who
knew him. But it is of the record
he made during the war between the
States that the writer would like to
say word, for it was there that he
showed most plainly his nobility of
character. He was among the first
to tender his services to the cause of
the South and was ono Of that noble
band of mountaineers who composed
Company @, James T.. Orr's Regi-
ment of Rifles, and during the long
struggle was never known to shirk a
duty. Mr.. Crenshaw participated in
thirty-six different engagements, but
never received wound. When that
noble chieftain, Gen. r. e. Lee, sur
rendered the remnant # his once
noble army of veterans at Appomat-
tox, i: was he that suggested to q
comrade, and we think the only man
of that company besides himself
who was with the company at its
organization that were present that
day, that al they had never surren-
dered to the enemy they would not
do 80 then. So the two made their
way to the river, cast their equip
ments into the stream and started
for their homes in Oconee county,
but were soon captured, and were put
in prison for two months. Not long
afterwards he was married to Miss
Lou M. Ellbrock, of Walhalla, S. G.
To this union were born eleven chill
dren, ten of whom survive, twenty
six grandchildren, three brothers.
Samuel Crenshaw, of Pelzer, S. G. /;
Newton Crenshaw, of West Union,
S. c., and Thomas Crenshaw, OF
Newry, S. c., besides three sisters
Mrs. Sallie White and Mrs. j. M
Kelley, of Walhalla, S. g., and Mrs.
@. ID. Hill, of Cannon, Texas
Honor to his memory as a valiant
soldier, affectionate husband, indul-
gent father and faithful friend, and
when he saw the end had come he
told his faithful wife that the way
was clear and that he had no fears.

An epigram, in its primary signifi-

1t Is a mistake to suppose that these
pieces were in their first inception
satirical. but the Romans made them
so, and, as time went on. the trick
of writing them, in Latin rs we'll as
in Greek, involved an attention to
concentrated effect. The epigram-
matist tried to fill his little glass as
full as possible. and there were bub-
bles of malice round the brim. Grad
ually the idea grew that m epigram
ought to finish with snap; that the

Is always active to push through bills
drafted in the interest Of that trust but
directly contrary to the interests of the
people MS a whole. Witness the anti
injunction bill By which labor unions
seek to tie the hands of our courts and
prevent the issue of any order to re-
strain the members Of that trust from
attacking men or destroying property.
Such bill Is perhaps the most infam-
GUS insult to our courts and the COM
mon people ever laid before Congress
and the Representatives in Congress
must be held to a strict accountability
for their acts relating thereto. But
when bills come before Congress that
are drawn in the interest of all the
people they should receive the active
personal support Of the people and the

citizens. The Senators also should be

dents of Salt Lake. tells this as his
latest telephone story:
In a certain Western central office
one hello girl was always late in ar
irving in the morning. Time and
time again the manager pleaded with
her to be more prompt. Her tardi-
ness continued until he was moved to
desperate methods.
Now, Miss B." he said one
morning as he came to her exchange
with package In his hands. Il have
a little scheme which I hope will
enable you to arrive at the Office on
time. Here is fine alarm clock for
you. Promise me that you will use
it,"
The young woman promised and &C.
cordingly set the alarm clock for the
proper hour when she retired that
night. At Z O'Clock the next morning
there was a tremendous whirring
from the alarm clock. The sleepy
hello girl rolled over in bed and said
sweetly:
"Line busy, call again."

ness to Make Point.
During the first hearing OF the Ia
nous Crocker will case in the SUI
preme court, before Judge Lathrop
and jury, there were many inter-
esting and amusing tits between the
eminent counsel engaged In the case
Robert M. Morse for the contestants
of the will, and Col. Joseph H. Ben
ton, Jr., for the executors.
Perhaps at no time during the hear
Ing, however, was there any better ex'
hibition OF wit than In the summing
up of counsel before the jury. Al
one point Col. Benton was trying to
impress upon the jury that the ex'
preston "old fool" alleged to have
been used by one of the interested
parties, might reasonably be construed
as a term of endearment.
"For example," explained Col. Ben
ton, king Lear called his fond daush'
ter, my dear pretty fool"
Here he waited a moment to let the
point sink into the minds of the jury.
Judge Lathrop, however. who had
been listening with intense interest,
leaned forward In his chair and dryly
remarked:
But, Mr.. Benton, King Lear was
crazy, wasn't he?"
"Well, your honor, that's a mooted
question" was all that the confused
attorney could reply, and even this
was almost smothered by the mirth'
full outburst In the court room, IN
which the opposing counsel. MI

to bestow peculiar wheedling powers

It dates back to 1902, when the Span

Mccarthy, who held the Castle OF
Blarney in Ireland, had concluded an

This type of the form was amusingly
defined by DR.. Edward Walsh, a poet
OF the latter half OF the eighteenth
century:
An Epigram should be--if right
Short. simple. pointed, keen and bright.
a lively little thing.
A wasp. with taper body. bound
BY lines not many. neat and round .
All ending In sting.
The poetical shape was always pre-
served, since without it an epigram
would scarcely have been anything
at all. A French wit, La Monnoye,
said that an cpigram in prose Is
cavalryman dismounted. But large
proportion of the Elizabethan and
Jacobean epigrams were beggars on
horseback, who, If they had been
turned off their rhyme. would have
been beggars-and nothing else. The
idea was that joke, or statement
of fact. whether grave or gay. had
but to be rhymed to become a piece
of literature, worthy to be printed
