SENATOR F. d. SMITH.

Years have elapsed since South Caro-
inla has seen such campaign as was
ended last Tuesday by the sweeping
election to the United States sona.c of
Hon. E. d. Smith, Of Florence OPP
posed to him was probably the most
widely known campaigncr, perpetual
candidate, in the State; representa-
tive of 1902 Tillmanism, the legislator
Of dispensary fame, an ex-governor,
the erstwhile farmers friend, but more
recently the business mans candidate.
Many people honestly believed that
John Gary Evans would go to the senate
this year. but THE PEOPLE said not
The people rule Mr.. Smith received Il
most tlattcring vote a handsome ma
jority, of which he may be justly proud
While we by no means especially adj
mire Mr.. Smith, still we are convinced
that he has been and is giving earnest
thought and labor in behalf of the farm
cr; because of this alone he is entitled
to our respect and commcndation. Mr.
Evans is the farmers friend during a
campaign. Mr.. Smith has been hon
orcd by the people cf his State; we
hope, and in fact we believe, he will
prove himself worthy the trust.

Gen. A, p. Stewart Dead.

Biloxi, Miss. - Gen. Alexander p.
Stewart, one of the last two surviving
lieutenant generals of the Confederate
States Army, died at his home here
Sunday. Although in his Y7th year and
suffering from the infrmities of old age
Gen. Stewards death was sudden and
came as a distinct surprise to relatives
and friends.
A native of Tennessee, Gen. Stewart
lived the greater part of his life in that
State but os late had been making his
home in Biloxi where he found the salt
air and pine woods of great benefit to
his health.
He was born at Rogersyille, Hawkins
county, Tennessee, Otc. 2, 1921, and
received his early education in that
state. Later he was appointed in the
United States academy at West Point
and graduated from that institution ir
June, 1912.
At the outbreak of the Civil war he
was commissioned as brigadier gen
eral in the Confederate States army
made major general in 1868, and re-
ceived his commission as a lieutenant
general one year later.
The close of the war found him il
command of the Army of Tennessee.
Only three months ago, Gen. Stepher
D. Lee, commander in chief of the Uni
ted Confederate veterans, who held the
commission of lieutenant general ir
the Confederate army, answered the
last roll call, and his death left only
two officers of the Confederacy of equa
rank. These were Gen. Stewart anC
Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner of Kentu
cky. Gen. Stewarts death Sunday
/ therefore leaves Gen. Buckner as the
only surviving lieutenant general in the
Confederate States Army.
The body was shipped shortly before
midnight to st. Louis, Mo-, where Gen
Stewart lived for number of years
The funeral was held in st. Louis
Wednesday.

Lawyer Duncan Is Disbarred.

The supreme court on last Friday
handed down a decision in the disbar
ment proceedings against John 7. Dun
can, ordering Duncan's certificate
license to practice before the courts of
the state cancelled. The decision is
based on the ground that Duncan pre-
sented false affidavits to the court in a
case in which he was attorney for a
negro. The negro, Hunter, had been
convicted of shooting member of a
sheriff's party and the false affidavit
introduced was one purporting to have
been made by another negro, one Tay
lor, in which the latter confessed that
he had done the shooting, and eXhonor-
ated Hunter The decision also states
that any hesitation as to putting Dun
cans disbarmcnt is dispelled by the
facts that a number of reputable mem
bers of the Columbia bar swore at the
hearing that they would not believe
Duncan on oath and that scme years
ago Duncan was summoned before the
supreme court to show cause why he
should not be disbarred At that time
the court took lincnt view of his case
and dismissed the charge after admins
tering reprimand to the defendant.
In 1896 Duncan opposed Ex-Governor
John Gary Evans for the nomination
for United States senator
