HE'S A ST|CKER
SPEAKER SAYS HE WILL BE CAN
DIDATE FOR PRESIDENT UN-
TIL THEY QUIT VOTING
Visits Chicago on Business But Will
Return to His Home at Danviile
and Not BE Present at the Con-
v~ention Next Week-Senator Dick
in -Foraksr's Interest.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 11.-Joseph Can
non, speaker of the house OF represen
~tatives, arrived in Chicago today from
his home in Danville, Ill, and declar-
ed himself q candidate for president
until they stop voting or elect some
one else"
Il am here on business" said the
speaker. Il just ran up from Danville
this morning and will return home to-
night. | am not here to open head
quarters-the boys are doing that for
me. l won't even go down there, nor
will 1 visit any other place where the
boys are mixing it."
Should Not Mix In.
Mr.. Cannon declared that in his
opinion it was not the proper thing for
a candidate for the presidency to mix
in personally" but he should leave
that sort Of trouble for the boys"
When told of the fact that Frank
Hitchcock was no longer acting as as
sistant secretary of the naval COM
mittee, he remarked:
well. if he was removed, the peo-
pie doing things probably knew what
they were doing, but as to that | am
not fully acquainted"
You Bet He's Candidate.
When asked if he was in the race to
stick" he sat upright in his chair and
snapped:
Stick? Why, man, l can't do any
thing else but stick. The state Of Illi-
nois is behind me. and that is enough
to make a man do almost anything.
Stick! Well, l should say So"
Mr.. Cannon was cheerful as to the
outlook, declaring in conclusion:
1.-The end Is not yet by a long shot. +"
Dick Out for Foraker.
Senator Charles Dick of Ohio, an
nouncing himself as a Foraker man,
first, last and all the time, arrived
here today He will probably appear
before the national committee in the
interest of some of the Foraker con-
testing delegations from the south. He
declined to express any opinion as to
the situation, saying that he has been
in Chicago too short a time.

1t is said that Burton want twenty
minutes to nominate Taft. A mans
ability as an orator is measured by the
amount he can say in a short time and
in a few words. Roscoe Conkling CON
sumed twelve minutes in nominating
Grant at Chicago and Ingersoll con-
sumed only ten minutes in nominal
ing Blame. These speeches stand out
as the greatest nominating speeches
In history. Burton could well take
pattern from these eminent orators.

Some leading democrats are trying
to secure John Mitchell as the demo,

very horror of the situation. But he went
lentlessly.

up the tie. Then without word of r-sret she cast
it into the CRATE.

matter was growing
serious. He decided
that something must be
wrong with his mind,
when once more he
heard it:

1t was louder this
time and far more dis
tinct. Surely he could
not be mistaken again.
Once more he paused
and raised his eyes to
the clump of trees from
where the sound had
seemed to come. No,
he had not been mis-.
taken. A white hand
kerchief was fluttering
to him. For an instant
he hesitated, then with
an oath he turned
quickly and made his
way toward it.
He found her lying
on some pine needles
in the shade of a great
tree. The shadows
made her beauty even
more appealing than
ever, and as he realized
this and its effect upon
him, his anger welled
up.
Well" he said,
roughly, what do you
WANT"
She looked up at him
with a lazy curiosity in
which there was a dis
tinct flavor ofcoquetry.

If she had expected refusal, she was dsap-

in his arms "All right" he said
For time they moved over the rough ground in
silence. The soft about his neck sent the blood
throbbing through his veins. The sweet odor of her
hair, which lay in a tangled mass upon his breast
intoxicated him. He moved like man in dream
Presently she opened her eyes and turned them
toward him. Jack" she said.
'Wel?" he asked.

he mopped his bald head.

Some people are raising great hue
and cry because the executive COM
mittee saw fit to arrange for only nine
campaign meetings. We fail to see
the business of such kick. The COM
mittee left an ''off day" between each
campaign meeting and this gives all
of the candidates an opportunity to
90 where they choose; and at the
same time it gives those who desire
an opportunity to furnish barbecues,
and we feel sure that the candidates
will visit nearly every cue in the
county. We believe that this is the
ground upon. which most of the kicks
are based. It's hard to please all the
people all the time, and we believe
that the committee acted in good
faith in arranging for only nine cam
paign meetings.

Dr.. W. 3. Zimmerman.

In the death of DIR. w. 81. Thinner
man which, occurred at his home in
Batesburg on last Tuesday evening at
8 O'Clock, South Carolina loses one OF
natures noblemen; his wife a true
and devoted husband; his children a
fond and affectionate father:
It was our good fortune to know
him long and well, and we only knew
him to esteem him more highly as the
years passed by. DR.. Zimmerman
believed in the fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man. He believed
that the man who scatters flowers in
the pathway of his fellowmen, who
lets into the dark places of life the
sunshine of human sympathy and hu-
man happiness, is following IN the
footsteps of his Master. His cheerful
helpful life; his devotion to his wife
and family and kindness to everybody
will long linger as fragrant memory
in the home which his presence bright
'ened and which death has now dark
ened. Though he is gone his record
has been made and will remain with
us az lasting treasure. His life was
gentle, but like the still waters it was
deep. In his heart of hearts he car
ried those he loved, and his hand was
never weary, his step never failed in
caring for and ministering to those
who were in any way dependent upon
him.
The funeral services were, held at
his late residence in Batesburg at 5
O'Clock on Wednesday afternoon,
Revs. Hundley, Beasly and Turnip-
seed officiating, each paying a beau
tiful tribute to the memory of the de-
ceased. The casket was covered with
the most beautiful floral designs low
ing fingers ever wrought, all of which
spoke of peace, purity and immortal
ity. The music rendered was such as
to soften all hearts and moisten all
eyes. On Thursday morning the re-
mains were carried to Johnston and
from there to the old Zimmerman bury
ing ground about eight miles in the
country, it being his desire to be bur-
led in the community in which his
life work had been spent. An unusu-
al long procession followed the fu-
neral car to the silent city. A short
service was held and the body low
cred in the ground. May Gods pur-
est angels guard his slumbers.
"How sweet a life was his; how sweet
death;
Living to wing with mirth the merry
hours,
Or with his genial tales the heart to
cheer;
Dying, to leave memory like the
heath
OF summer, full of sunshine and flow
ers,
A grief and gladness in the atmos.
phere."
From the beauty of his life may we
all take an inspiration and 60 forth
to live as he lived, 80 that when the
summons comes we may say as did
he, "An is WELL"
