The overland stage from Glasgow.
due at Linville at midnight, was about
to cross the Charlton river bridge
when a masked man stepped from
behind some timbers. and, Ieveling a
gun at the driver, commanded him to
halt The horses were stopped. The
experience was a new one to the driv-
or, and he acted as though he wasn't
exactly clear as to what his obliga-
tons were In the premises. Pending
the decision he did nothing. The pas
sengers peered out the windows. and
asked what was the matter. It was
a moonlight night and the highway
man and his gun stood out clear. The
passengers were ordered to get out
and line up on the roadside. A man
In uniform got out OF the opposite
door OF the vehicle and went around
behind it. He had something In his
hand that sparkled in the moonlight

DROPS Dead While Hunting.

Walhalla, February 23.-News of
the death of one of Oconee county's
most respected citizens was received
in Walhalla this morning early, caus-
ing general sorrow and regret. George
Keels Maxwell, aged 81 years, was
found dead by a party of searchers
about 2 o'clock this morning. Mr..
Maxwell had been out hunting during
Saturday afternoon. Not returning
to his home by dark, his family be-
came uneasy about him, and soon a
number of people started to hunt for
him. Later a large number Of citizens
organized a searching party and Mr..
Maxwell's lifeless body was found
about two miles west of Walhalla.
He had apparently sunk gently to the
ground and expired, his bands being
in such position which indicated a
gradual relaxation of the muscles and
release of the gun which rested across
his body. His death was due to heart
failure, from which he had suffered
for years. keeping the last vigil over
his master, lay his faithful pointer
dog, guarding the body which was
found some eight hours after death
occurred.

South Caral;na Ssnstto-ss3..:p.

Gov. Ansel, Of South Carolina, has
it in his hands to render. his State a
memorable service. He can appoint
Col. James G. Hemphiil, Of Charles
ton, to the seat in the United States
Senate left vacant by the death of
the lamented Senator Latimer, and
thus at once bring forward one Of the
ablest men of the South and win the
cordial approval of his State.
Col. Hemphill stands in the very
front rank of the editorial profession
in the United States. The Charleston
News and Courier is, more than any
other newspaper, the representative
journal of that vast region stretching
along the Atlantic below Baltimore.
It is one of the three or four news
papers quoted all over the world as in
the lead of the development of the
new South which is coming to be re-
garded as one of the wonderlands for
fertility Of soil, wealth of mineral
and charm of climate. And the
News and Courier is distinctively the
reflection of the mind and purpose of
Col. Hemphill. He dominates it as
effectively as Henry Watterson does
the Louisville Courier-Journal or
Clark Howell the Atlanta Constitu-
ton.
But it is not alone or chiefly as a
newspaper man that Col. Hemphill is
suggested for the Senate. He is a
scholar and ripe and good one. He
is man of wide experience in public
affairs. He is of thorough training
and successful in his private business.
He is an American to the core and
represents the finest thought, the
highest traditions, Of a State noted
for generations for the brilliancy Of
its public men and its influence in the
political life Of the nation. He is an
accomplished orator and formidable
debater. ) He is endowed with noble
presence. He is held in honor most
by the State in which ne has lived all
his little more than half century Of
life and where he is best known. He
has fought for his people through good
and evil report with a courage, and
wisdom and patriotic spirit beyond
praise. He commands the devotion
of his friends to all extraordinary de-
gree and the respect of the best citi-
zenship everywhere in the Republic.
Gov. Ansel will do himself and his
State equal honor if he shall embrace
the opportunity of the hour and send
Col. Hemphin to the Senate. Argu-
ment ON such a point is superfuous.
