The Smiths.

Who is the chief Smith in the
United States ? One hears con-
stantly of the greatness of the Smiths
and sees it, too, but it would be in
teresting if it could be ascertained
definitely what Smith is the un-
crowned king of the Smiths. There
is former United States Senator
Smith in New Jersey, and "Jim''
Smith is the peerless Smith of the
farmers, while Speaker Smith of the
South Carolina House of Represen-
tatives is no small potato but the
most conspicuous and prominent
Smiths in the United States are
Charles Emory Smith, of Pennsylva-
mia, and plain Hoke Smith. Both
of these latter gentlemen have been
members of a Presidents cabinet,
both are imperial journalists, and
one is to be Governor of Georgia,
and, therefore, to have the largest
staff of colonels in the world. We
believe that it would be of the keen
est human interest if ali the Smiths
would join in q primary and elect a
King Smith. 1t would be an inspi-
ration to the Jones, Brown, Davis
and other leading families of the
country.-News and Courier.

Paid Old Coniederato's Fine.
[Spartanburg Herald.]

There was an instance of jastice
tempered with mercy in the case of
the State vs. A. j. Bright, which
came up in the General Sessions
Court the other morning. Mr..
Bright is an aged Confederate veve-
ran who was charged with assault
and battery with intent to kill. The
assault was committed some weeks
ago at the Arkwright mills, when
Bright attempted to shoot young
man who had made insulting re.
marks concerning Bright's son.
Bright was found guilty by the
jury of simple assault. Sentence
was passed by Judge Charles e..
Dantzler, of Orangeburg, who is
presiding over the term OF General
General Sessions Court.
During the trial the fact was de-
veloped that Mr.. Bright, while in
the Confederate army, had been in
the regiment of which Judge Dantz-
ler's father was colonel. Bright is
an old man and wore on that day
his CROSS of honor. He remembered
distinctly the death of Col. Dantzler,
which occurred on the battlefield.
The law, however, is inexorable
and Judge Dantzler passed sentence
upoT the old veteran, !. being fine
of $15 or Is days. After the SEN
tence had been passed a collection
was started by Judge Dantzler to
pay the fine, he giving s5. Sheriff
John M. Nichols followed with $5
more and the jury contributed the
remaining IS. Deputy Sheriff w,
j. White also made contribution
to the old man, who had been put to
considerable expense during the
trial.
The action of the court officials
was generally approved and the re.
cipient of the contribution was much
moved by the kindness of the officers

The Conductors Mistake.

A conductor on the St. Louis and
Suburban railroad had suoh good
run of business on a recent Sunday
afternoon that he had difficulty in
keeping himself supplied with small
change. Many passengers who pat
ronized his car handed him dollars
and bills of larger denominations in
payment of their fares. The con.
ductor, however, managed to get
along fairly well until woman car
rying a tiny infant boarded his car.
When lie approached the woman for
her fare she handed him five-dollar
bill.
"Is that the smallest you have,
madamP" queried the conductor,
fearing another stringency in change.
The woman looked at the conduc-
tor and then at her baby and made
this surprising reply. eyes; have
been married only twelve months" !"

pioneers of Methodism in Anderson

serves special mention in the eel.
umns of the Advocate, for no preacher
before or since has done half as
much as he did for the upbuilding Of
the church in this section Of South
Carolina. He led the simple life of
q local preacher and, above all, of a
pure minded Christian. He was un.
assuming in his manner and unos-
tentatious in his daily walk and con-
versation. He took up the work
which his Master placed upon him,
and in the midst OF obstacles steadily
moved forward as valiant soldier
of the GROSS, planting the banner of
the CROSS in secluded spots. He has
been frequently spoken of as the
Nestor of Methodism in Anderson
and Oconee counties.
Uncle Whitaker was born in An
derson county in 1924, and he was
eighty-two years old at his death,
which took place Sunday, September
80, 1905. He was licensed to preach
in the year 1857; ordained deacon
by Bishop John Early, December IA,
1862; ordained elder by Bishop w.
M. Wightman, December 90 90, 1863.
Visiting him as his young pastor,
I counted it a blessing and a privi-
lege to talk and pray with him. His
faith in God was strong. His hope
was fixed. His thoughts, expressed
in his feeble speech, were inspiring.
He followed me in prayer 30 closely
that / felt that it was he who was
bearing me to a throne of mercy.
His last audible utterance was, sNear
heaven" Aud now the glories of
that heaven have been revealed to
him.

DOHN-TQDATE HAY OF SPELLING.
A TIMELY LESSON THAT WILL PROVE OF
GREAT BENEFIT 70 ALL.

sf.fhfif4 I.
In 1873 eleven words were amen
ded by the committee Of the Philo-
log;caa.. ss.ssooiation as start in the
new movement. Under the influ-
ence of the various organizations
that have bent their efforts toward
spelling reform this original list OF
eleven has been swelled to three hum
dred.
The rules so far formulated for
the use of the reformed speller are
these;
i. When offered choice between
% and 9 choose 9. Example: Anes-
thetio, esthetic, midieval.
2. If the choice lies between 9 and
no elm words like abridgment, lodg-
ment. acknowledgment, always omit
the e.
8. Use in place of ed for the
past or past participle of verbs end
ing in g, sh or p. Examples: Dipt,
dript, prest, distrest, huaht, wasn't.
An astonishing array of high literary
authorities from Spencer to Lowell
is cited in support of this latter sim.
plification.
4. Stick to ense in preferece to
ence when you have choice. Ex-
ample: Defense, offense, pretense.
5. Don't double the t in croquet,
epaulet, etiquet, omelet.
6. When you can replace gh with
f do it. Example : Draft.
Z. Better still, get rid of gh alto
gether. For plough write plow,
for through write thru.
8. Write the Greek suffix ise or
ize with the by preference. Ex-
ample Catechize, criticize.
9. Where any authority allows it,
omit the on words spelled with ite.
Example: Preterit.
10. Use single | in words like
distil, instil, fulfil.
IL. And omit one | from words
now written like fullness. Example :
Dulness.
IL. In words sometimes spelled
with one and sometimes with dou.
BILE m, choose the short form. Exam
Pile: Gram, program.
13. In words spelled with e, or Q,
choose g. Example: Esophagus.
IA. Always omit the u from words
sometimes spelled with our. Exam
pie: Labor, rumor.
15. Where you can get any au.
thority use f in place of phi. Exam
pie: Sulfur, fantasm.
16. In words spelled with double
use single r; as bur, pur.
IL. Spell theatre, centre, &C., in
the English way-center, theater,
inter, inter.
1S. If a word is spelled with or
in root use the q; as apprize, sur
prize.
10. From words spelled with sc or
8 omit the C. Example: Simitar,
sythe.
20. Omit the silent terminal ne
when allowed. Example Catalog,
