Mrs. Jane Stewart Calhoun.

In the death of Mrs. Jane Stewart
Calhoun, which occurred At her home
near Verona on the evening Of the
nineteenth of January, one of the most
interesting and distinguished person
ages of the South passes away.
Mrs. Calhoun was stricken with pneu-
monia which made its appearance with
a chill Monday night, and her great
age made her frail body an easy VIC
tim to the insiduous disease, and as the
shadows of the night fell upon the
earth, she dropped into that eternal
sleep that knows no waking. The
watchful care of her children and her
grandc hildren, and a devoted brother,
broug hit to her all the comforts possible
during her illness and when she real
lied that the time of separation had
come, she babe her loved ones m aRec-
tionate farewell and like him who
wraps the drapery of his couch about
him, lay down to pleasant Dreams.
Mrs. Calhoun was 4 member Of the
historic Orr family of South Carolina,
that has furnished so many distinguished
sons and daughters. She was . sister
of Gov. Orr, of South Carolina, Judge
Orr, of Columbus, Miss, and the late
DR.. Orr of this county.
At the age of seventeen she was
married to DR.. W. H. Calhoun, q neph-
ew of John C, Calhoun of South Car
DINA, and from this union four children
were born: Mrs. Tankersley. Mrs.
Taylor. now deceased, J. c. Calhoun
and the late William Henry Calhoun Of
Memphis.
Possessing in the highest sense all
the mental faculties and intellectual
attainments which have characterized
the family, Mrs. Calhoun was from ear
ly life . model Of the highest type Of
Southern womanhood. Reared 1T =
time when the South was enjoying the
greatest epoch known to any country or
people, every opportunity was afforded
her of receiving that high type Of cul-
ture and broad education which she has
displayed througho ut her long and
eventful life.
The span OF her life covered three ep-
ochs in the history of the country. 1t
was her fortune to be . part Of the
Old South. with its sublime grandeur
and exalted position among the peoples
of this country; she was an active par
ticipant in the great civil strife that
drenched the country in blood and rem
dered that noble service IN caring for
the wounded and dying that only . mo-
BILE woman can render. During the Pc
Rod of dark despair which followed
strife and bloodshed, it was her part to
render words Of consolation and coun-
sci to her neighbors and her people.
Mrs. Calhoun was 2 member Of the
Presbyterian church for sevsnty-fve
years, having beena commitment since
she was eleven years old She VA active
and jealous in al work Of the church and
admired by all for her liberal ideas. =
CARELESS Of creed. At her homo : cor
dial welcome always awaited the min
lister Of the gospel.
AS q neighbor and friend she wa OBJ

New York, Sept. 27.--The day after
the Buffalo convention finds New
York state preparing for the fiercest
political campaign in it's history. Moth.
ing Is apparently lacking to add inter.
est TO the struggle. An outsider from
California, who In building up u polit.
teal constituency. deliberately antago.
nized a powerful element here, has
captured the Democratic party, aud
threatens to upset all political tradi-
tions in the State. just as he earlier
in lie upset all journalistic traditions.
Whatever else may lie said of Hearst.
he has reached commanding position
in State and national politics
A certain cynical Californian, In
speaking OF lIearsts remarkable ca.
recr here, said today: "Of all Califor-
I ians who have come to New York
and made people sit up and take no.
ticc, Hearst is In class by himself.
COrbctt, Jeffrios. Blanche Bates. VIII
son Miner are dead ones compared
with him."
The New Workers. however have
got past cynlcism as concerns Hearst,
and have reached stage of alarm at
the effect OF his political victory.
Hearst accomplished what year ago
would have seemed impossible for he
had yesterday as his ally at Buffalo.
boss Murphy. who at one time was
cartooncd daily In Hearst's papers as
4 convict In stripes.
Probably never before has the old
campaign axiom. politics makes
queer bod.fellows," been excmpllhcd
so well. Still another interesting fea.
turc OF the situation is the discomfort
in the Democratic ranks caused by
llcarsts nomination. Jerome. himself,
m avowed candidate for the nomna.
lion that Hearst received, threatens
20 lead bolt TO support Hughes, the
Republican candidate.
Hughes, enjoying at present great
prestige coming from his admirable
conduct of the insurance investiSa.
ton. will make speaking campaign
ouch as has not been seen In the En-.
pirc State since before Roosevelt
made his whirlwind tour of the State
In 1898.
Notwithstanding tho formidable op.
position to Hearst there are astute
politicians here who would not be sur
priscd at his victory. II cannot he
denied that Hearst has great follow.

tons of this were given when the re-

they all form n voting constituency
any candidate, be he safe, sane and

they may land Hearst In the cxecu.

The Democratic party In New York
has been split beyond reconciliation.
Hearst has seized the party name and
the organiza, ion that goes with II. but
he has driven out old.line Democrats.
The only refuge of the latter IL the
Republican camp. In the lineup for
the election there will be on one side
Hearst, being the official standard OF
Democracy. and that of the Independ.

forces of the Republican party and
Democrats who think their party has
been betrayed under the leadership
of Charles Il. Hughes.
There is to be no boilers ticket.
