The choice of Hamer for congress by
the Boise convention was perhaps sur
prise to many, but it was not made at the
dictation of any but the delegates them
selves. He is not unknown, however,
for his qualifications have been more
than once demonstrated. He has proven
himself soldier with ability to com
mand and an orator who holds the at
tention of his audiences. During the
Spanish war he was appointed provost
judge of Manila and was later made
military governor of the island Of Cebu
His ancestry is one of military and naval
distinction and he has maintained the
heritage passed down to him. His
speeches have become famous for their
brilliancy, and i'll congress he should
more than meet the requirements of a
state which is forging ahead into the
foremost ranks of the American sister
hood.

Mrs. J. f. Hart who is visiting Mr..
John r. Hart in Yorkville, was sud-
denly called to Chatham, Va, this
morning on account Of serious illness.
Mr.. Harry Neil of Glover, who was
severely injured in Washington recent
ly was able to return to the Univer-
sity of Virginia last Saturday. The
latest information from him is to the
effect that he is getting along very
nicely.
Mrs. Harriet Clarkson, Mr.. and Mrs.
b. ID. Springs, Miss Blandina Springs,

Annie Clarkson Of Charlotte. and Mr.
John Mellow of Charleston, came to
Yorkvile on account of the illness and
death Of little Thomas +. Mellow.
News and Courier, Saturday: May
or John r. Hart of Yorkville, was in
Charleston yesterday. He came here
for the purpose of persuading the
trustees of the Episcopal Church Or
phanage that Yorkville was the best
place in South Carolina at which to
locate that worthy institution. He
succeeded It's a way he has. You
see. he believes so thoroughly in York
vile, in the advantages which it pos
sesses and in the opportunities which
lit offers. and he sets forth his reason
for the faith that is in him so earn
estly and so eloquently that it would
be impossible for him not to make an
impression upon the people he rubs
up against. Mayor Hart declares that
the orphanage will, when 1t Is remov-
ed to Yorkville, be still in the midst
of friends. And it will. YOrkville is
good town. No better people may
be found anywhere. Mayor Hart has
gotten out an attractive little folder,
in which are set forth strikingly, a
number of reasons why Yorkville is a
fine town in which to live. 1t is a
most convincing document. 1t seems
pity. though, that he should have
left out the statement that they grow
there the best Scotch Presbyterians in
the world and make mayonnaise dress
ing which is so thick that one has to
cut it with a knife.
