Memorial Day

A striking picture Of a typical
Memorial Day parade, produced By 8
New York artist, is shown here.
There IS nothing that brings a truer
heartbeat of patriotism than the
sight Of parading veterans. The rap
idly diminishing number Of brave men
who fought for the causes in which
they believed, are an object of vaner-
alton, North or South, as they march
to do honor to the memory of dead
comrades, and this has been strik-
ingly brought out ia the faces OF the
bystanders IN the picture.
It shows a procession of veterans
passing d statue of Abraham Lincoln.
IN the foreground the war-civilian
marches proudly at the head of his
company; a veteran in the first line
carries as tribute a wreath in one
hand; his other sleeve is arnless.
Further back are the tattered battle
Tags. relics of bitter strife.
The statue of Lincoln shown IN the
picture is the famous one by Angus

piece of Americas greatest sculptor.

ment is the work OF Stanford White.

this county. "a
Mayor Langford represented Ward
4 on the aldermanic board Of the city
for eight years preceding his election
as mayor, and up until the time he
was chosen mayor. He represented
his ward faithfully and conscientious
ly, and with that same energy and de-
termination which has later marked
him in a broader sphere.
Not only has Mayor Langford's ad-
mi1listration been marked by progress
but also by a strict enforcement OF
the ordinances in the interest Of law
and order. As a result, the sessions
of the police court, over which ne
,presides, have become less frequent.
In these efforts he has had the thor
ough cooperation of an efficient and
loyal police force.
Mayor Langford is engaged in the
real estate and stock business. AS a
business man he has been successful.

MR.. JNO. G.. GOGGANS.
CAPABLE And Courteous Gentleman in
One of Newberry's Most I'm
portant Offices.

Newberry county has always enjoy
ed the distinction Of having its coun-
ty offices filled by efficient officers.
The people have recognized the ad-
vantage Of retaining in office those
who were efficient. The officials have in
addition to their efficiency been uni
formly courteous and polite, which
added to efficiency, has kept them in
position.
Though Newberry is one Of the old
est counties in the State, being more
than 125 years old, she has had but
fifteen clerks Of court, including the
present official.
Mr.. Young John Harrington served
the county as clerk Of court from
1907 to 1850: Mr.. B. J. Ramage from
1851 to 1868; Capt J. Y. McFall dice
in office, and was succeeded by Mr.
John NJ. Kinard, who voluntarily re-
tired. and was succeeded by Mr.. \.
J. Gibson, who served one term and
did not offer for reelection in 1900.
In 1900 Mr.. John c. Goggans was
elected, after a heated contest for
the position, and has been reelected
twice without opposition.
Mr.. Goggans is one of the most ef-
ficient clerks of court III South Car
olina, and to this efficiency he adds
an unfailing courtesy to all persons
having business dealings with his Of
flee.
He is native of this county, hav-
ing been born in No. s township on
the 18th of February, 1858. In early
life Mr.. Goggans engaged in farming
and continued at this for a number Of
years. Some ten or twelve years ago
he with his family moved to Newber-
rv. For two terms he served as clerk
and treasurer of the city council, and

SENATOR TILLMAN AT HOME.
Wielder of the Famous Pitchfork
Leads the Simple Life Of a Quiet
Farmer.

Trenton, S. c., March 3O.-One
gets pretty fair idea Of old-fashion-
ed, unaffected Southern hospitality
at Senator Tillman s home near Tren-
ton. says the Charlotte Observer. It
is very delightful because Of its SIM
plicity. The guest during his stay
is r1ade to feel that he is one Of the
family, and so be is not wearied by
conventionalities nor oppressed by
too many polite attentions. He IS
left free to follow his own incllna-
tions. If he wants to, he is at lib
erty to walk about the beautiful
plantation or stroll out into the front
yard, where flowers and shrubbery
are beginning to burgeon beneath the
warmth Of the spring sun, or go to
the nearby village, sit and read in
the senator's well-filled library,
where he will always find some choice
books to his liking.
When at home from Washington,
especially at this season Of the year,
Senator Tillman is very busy man,
and ones only chance of interviewing
him is to spend a night under his
hospitable roof. This is what the
writer did at his suggestion. Both
he and Mrs. Tillman made the visit
a very pleasant one.
Around the Fireside.
The night was quite cool, and be-
fore a cheerful log fire that made
the shadows dance on the walls Of the
roomy library, we sat till rather late

in the office Of county superintendent
of education, to which he was elected
in the summer Of 1900. He took
charge Of this office with the begin
ming Of the year 1901, and served
that year and the succeeding years
of 1902, 1903, and 1904, retiring at
the end Of his second term, which ex-
pired with the year 1904. In Octo-
Der, 1905, he was elected city clerk
and treasurer Of the city Of Newber-

year, when be resigned to take charge

Mr.. Werts was elected auditor last

er one Of the most efficient auditors

Respecting the Democratic mem.
bers Of the house who. failed to line.
! up with their fellow members by
joining the insurgent Republicans TO
down Cannonism, when they had the
opportunity given, Senator Tillman
expressed himself in strong terms. He.
said they were traitors to their par
tvs platform and ought to be read
out Of the party.
His Trip Abroad.
:: Senator Tillman gave a racy de-
scription Of his trip abroad, the
countries and places of interest he
visited, with shrewd comments on
the manners and customs Of their:
people. In this part of the. converse
tion Mrs. Tillman joined, setting him
right when she thought he was wrong
about some date or occurrence, which
gave rise to pleasant .badinage be-
tween the two that was very en- iioy--
able. In some tn hings he observed
that the Europeans are ahead of us; !.
IN others far, behind. In Spain and
Italy, for instance, he said the farm
ers have little or no improved agri-
cultural machinery. They SOW and
reap their grain with the crudest
sort of ploughs and scythes. He made:
another statement, which to most Of .
US will be information, namely, that:
in no part of Europe he visited did.
he see any red soil or clay, such as
is found in many parts of this coun-
try.
Before retiring for the night Sena-
tor Tillman gave an exhibition Of
some exercises with dumb bells, which
ne has found Of great benefit to his
health, which by the way, is excellent
by bringing into play muscles rarely
used. He recommends such regi-
men Of exercise, claiming that it is
beneficial to one even after he has
passed the age Of so. He has tough
ened his muscles considerably, and in
time, no doubt, he will be able to
compete with the strenuous Mr.,
Roosevelt in horseback ride.
Farmer Tillman.
South Carolina's senior senator
and some of his neighbors have gone
into the culture of asparagus. His
private secretary, Mr.. Knight, is very
enthusiastic about raising it for the
Northern market. There is a ten
acre field Of it on the Tillman farm.
and the next morning everybody on
the place was busy cutting and get
ting it ready for shipment. No finer
can be grown on the truck farms
around Charleston. It brings about
$12 a crate.

Mayor Langford's administration
has been characterized by energy and
progress. He has during his term of
office sought the advancement of
Newberry along all lines, and in his
'efforts he has brought to bear the
determination that marks the man
who does things.

various things, the lady of the house,
busy with her. needle, occasionally
taking part, for she and the guest
listened more than they talked, as
the senator had the floor most Of the
time. Many subjects were introduced
and discussed. The verdict in the
Cooper trial, the fight in the senate
against Crum's nomination, Mr.. Taft
as president and his friendly attitude
towards the South, the reealeitrant
Democrats Of the lower house of con-
gress, Mr.. Tillman's trip abroad last
summer, the servant question and the
growing untrustworthiness Of the ne
gro as a laborer.
When asked what he thought Of
the verdict Of the jury in the Cooper
case, Senator Tillman said it was
more than he expected, as he felt al
most convinced that it would end in
a mistrial. It seemed to him from
the evidence that the killing Of Sen
ator Carmack was a deliberately plan
ned assassination, and that Sharp, al
though escaping through lack Of evi-
dence, had knowledge of the con-
spiracy against Carmaek's life. He
spoke in high terms Of Senator Car
mack, regarding him as one Of the
South's ablest and most brilliant
leaders and, above all, fighter:
"Fighters,'' said Senator Tillman,
"are needed by the Democratic par
ty at Washington which was an in
timation that he regretted Mr.. Car
mack's enforced retirement from the
senate.

The Crum Case.

AS to the fight against Crum, Sen
ator Tillman said he went into it at
first with misSivings, regar ling it as
a "forlorn hope.' He got no en-
couragement from any Of the Demo-
cratic senators except Senator Nc
Laurin, Of Mississippi, who promis-
ed to stand by him and did help in
every way possible. On the contrary,
his fellow Democrats gave cold COM
fort to the undertaking, saying that it
was useless to make the fight, but he
persisted, and when at last the tide
Of sentiment began to turn they all
rushed forward bravely to his assis-
tance.
Senator Tillman seemed to think
President Taft will come nearer be-
ing president Of the whole country
than any occupant of the white house
since the war. He regards him as a
man Of large and liberal views, and
who will carry out his policy in the
matter Of appointments in the South !;
but the senator expressed no opinion
as to what effect it would have in
splitting the white vote Of the. South.
