Fill the Unexpired Term
Of the Late A. @. Latimer.
Columbia special in Charlotte
Observer, Mar z: The deadlock
which had existed in joint as
sembly since Wednesday over the
selection of United States Sem
ator for the unexpired term of
the late A. @. Latimer, was fin
ally broken at 2 80 this after
noon, when on the fourth ballot
taken today ex-Speaker of the
House Frank B. Gary, of Abbe-
vile, who had leda the race all
the way through and who had
twice been within eight votes of
a majority, went.in with 70 votes.
a bare majority of two, 7s being
necessary to a choice as the vote
then stood. This was the eight
eenth joint ballot since the two
houses balloted separately on
Tuesday night.
The race had been an exceed
ingly interesting one throughout,
and as it was the first experience
of the kind the State has exper-
fenced in many years, United
States Senators being elected by
popular vote for more than q
decade in this State, great inter-
est was taken in the contest
throughout the State, and visi-
tors thronged the galleries and
aisles of the House where the
voting was done morning, noon
and night. But though between
sessions attempt has been made
in log-rolling to break the Gary
forces, and dark horse after dark
horse has been run in in the
voting, the Gary forces have
been able to maintain their bat
tie lines practically unaff fected,
Mr.. Gary never running below
60 votes at any time, while the
highest reached by any rival was
A, although half a dozen have
been able to make interesting
spurts from time to time.
Elk Governor John O. Shep-
pard, of Edgefield, who was at
the head of the straightout ticket
against Tillman in the memorable
and historic campaign of 1892,
was run in today, and for time
things looked squally for the
Gary people. Mr.. Sheppard's
friends ran him in on the second
ballot taken today. He received
Is votes on this ballot and went
up to "a on the next, but he was
dropped altogether on the final
ballot. President of the Senate
It. q. Mcleod was the closest
rival to Mr.. Gary on the final
ballot, receiving 80 votes.
Senator Clifton nominated Con
gressman A. F. Lever in the Sc
cond ballot, but members OF his
delegation and other friends pro-
tested that he desired not to be
"mixed up in this scramble"
However, others in the house in
sisted on his staying in, and af-
ter the second Mr.. Wingard, of
his home delegation, said that

Glass;" his klnsmen on all sides
being prominent in the affairs of
State before, during and just af-
ter the civil war; but MIR. Gary
himself early in his career was
identified with the Tillman ele-
ment, being an ardent State dis
pensary man, and all that sort of
thing. He is a man of fine at.
tainments and comes from a fam
lily of born politicians. He is
personally very attractive man,
and the manner in which he has
presided over the House has at
tracted many votes to him.
Mr.. Gary was born at Cokes-
bury, Abbeville county, March
9th, 1860. His early education
was gained in the old Cokesbury
Methodist Conference School,
after which he graduated from
Union College, Schenectady, N.
T., 1881. He was married to
Miss Mariah Lee Evans June 9th
1887. He was elected to the
House from Abbeville in 1890,
Serving ten years continuously
the latter portion as Speaker.
He was q member of the consti-
tutional convention of 1895. He
is q trustee of his home city
schools and was q member of
the board which located and es-
tablished Winthrop College. He
is prominent Mason, being
high priest of Heparian Chapter
No. II, Royal Arch Masons; past
master of Clinton No. 3. Ac-
cepted Free Masons a member
of Columbia commandery Knights
Templars, and a member of Omar
Temple of the Mystic Shrine.
Mr.. Gary's mother was Miss

Mountain. His father was DR..

a lineal descendant ofJo With
erspoon, whowas born in Glas-
cow, Scotland, prosecuted under
the Stuarts. John Witherspoon
was the grandson of Mrs. Lucia
Welsh, who was the grandmoth
er of John Knox, the great di-
vine, who was a lineal descend

He has two brothers on the South
Carolina bench, E. B. Gary, of
the Supreme Court, and Ernest
Gary, of the Circuit Court. He
is nephew of that picturesque
fighting man Of the Confederacy,
Gen. Mart Gary, who figured so
prominently in the redemption
of the State from radical rule.
He is cousin of former Cover
nor John Gary Evans, of Spar
tanburg, who is candidate for
the long term of United States
Senator.
Mr.. Gary is pledged in this
election not to enter the race
for the long term, which explains
why none of the long term can

SNEEZES AT HIGH SCHOOL.
Kcrchoo Powder Used With Telling
 Effect.

The theaters are not the only places suffering from the powder known as kerchoo, for at the New Haven high school many of the members are also victims Of this powder, which is brought into the school by some of the members. These fellows are cer- tainly making much trouble by using this stuff, causing the members and the teachers, while studying or recit- ing, to continually cough and snecze. This is proving very great hindrance to the teachers, who are having very hard work teaching the scholars. This is made more difficult by the fact that the teachers are having very hard work to discover the instigators of these pranks. Those who have been found out have either been suspended or expelled from the school. These measures taken by the faculty ought to be able to put stop to this nuis- ance. If this disturbance is kept up the members using this stuff will be given over to the police authorities.

TARIFF AT SPECIAL SESSION

Columbus. O.. March 4.-The repub- lican state convention. which held it's first session yesterday, reassembled at 10 o'clock this morning, with Secretary James R. Garfield, temporary chairman, in the chair. The committee on per- manent organization reported that Alt torney- General Wade H. Ellis had been chosen for permanent chairman. MT. Ellis on taking the gavel, delivered a short and energetic address, which was received with cheers.
 The committee on rules declared against the adoption of the unit rule, and their report was adopted without debate.
 Representative Theodore E. Burton of Cleveland, chairman of the commit tee on resolutions then presented the report of the resolutions committee. The first plank to be greeted with ap- plause was that relating to labor and capital The recommendation in favor of the merchant marine and an ade- quate navy, called out an outburst of cheers. and from that time until the reading was completed the enthusiasm evoked by the platform steadily in- creased. The report concluded with the plank endorsing the candidacy of w. H. Taft, and as soon as the delegates caught the drift of the endorsement they broke in on the reader witha yell that caused him to pause for several minutes. The report was unanimously adopted amid wild applause, and Chair man Burton was given an ovation as he returned to his seat.
 Following Is the platform adopted:
 The republicans of Ohio proclaim this platform of principles of the campaign of 1908:
 In the nation we stand for those ideals of government which mean jus tice. equality and fair dealing among men.
 A brave and impartial enforcement of the law: commercial and industrial lib- erty; individualism as against social ism; competition as against monopoly; government regulation as against gov ernnent ownership; the promotion of the best interests of labor and capitsi and the unfiinching protection of both compensa ton for injured employees oi the government; the re-enactment ir constitutional form of the employers liability bill; limitation in the exer- else Of the power of injunction in order to prevent its abuse: a greater mer r>>px marine and an adequate navy

Tenderness to the Old.

Nothing is more beautiful or Christi

They whose falling steps are slowly
descending the sunless slope Of age
have but one consolation as the years
speed by them. and that is the tender
ness and consideration of those OH
whose lives the beauties of morning
arc breaking.
Age Is a season of physical infirm-
ity, Of mental retrospection. or SHAT
tered dreams and earthly disappoint-
mcnts. No more for the old is there
a glamor in the rolling stars, no more
a freshness In the spring, no more a
triumph in the years. For them as
in a dream the vcrdurc blooms. the
rivers flow, the birds rejoice THEY
are spectators of a scene whose hcrit-
age they once enjoyed and now sec
passing to their SUCCESSORS. no longer
sojourners in this pleasant world, they
are lingering fondly q; moment over
the memories Of the past. Tho thou
sand melodies OF the present sound
far off in their aged cars and its
charms are blurred in the dimmcd
eyes whose tears fall on the graves
of old affections.
Treat them gently youth and maid

rifice arc ye the posscssors not only OF
existence in the world in whose Splsn-
doris We cxalt but also for the PROS
pcrity and happiness yc thoughtlessly

EnsIand's Falling Birth Rate.

The Registrar General of (;r.at
Britain has just issued his report
which gives information regarding
Wales during the year past. That in
formation is most disquieting. The
birth rate in England and Wales for
1907 was 26S per 1000 of the popu-
lation, and that figure shows d de-
crease of O.S per 1000 as compared
with the figures for the year 1906, and
is the lowest birth rate on record.
Steadily, year by year, tho rate of
births decreases. and during the last
decade it has sunk 81 per 1000 lower
than it was in The year 1897. What
this means, says the Catholic Timcs Of
Liverpool, everybody knows, and what
it must soon begin to mean, for the
prosperity Of the country many poo
pie already begin TO view with aJai m.
1t is idle to pretend that the race is
losing it's vigor. The fact is that, as
g nation, we arc at one end of the So
cial scale Tapped in luxury, and at the
other wrapped in wretchedness, with
the result that the burdens and duties
Of life are shirkcd or made unbcar-
able. Materialism is rampant, religion
is weakening, and the race is dwlnd-
ling because those who should MAIN
tain it are too picasurc-loving Or un-
principled to care for anything be-
yond tho satisfaction of the day. Ihc
whole question demands public atten-
tion while yet there is time to arrest
the decauence OF faith and morality.

Holy See Grants Now Privileges,

The holy Father has given a new
proof OF his deep interest in the So

In order to incite the clergy to help
the WORK, he has granted, by a decree
Of February !, 1908, to all priests who
collect aims for the work or who are
themselves special members of the So
ciety, the privilege Of applying the
Crosier indulgcnccs to Rosarics. Can
Indulgence OF 500 days for each "Our
Father and Hail Mary" applicable
to the souls in Purgatory)
This Is a singular favor heretofore
held by the Croisier Fathers and now
granted to the clerical helpers of the
propagation of the Faith. It is only
necessary. therefore, to apply to any
priest who is director Of the society
or special bencfactor there Of to Sc
