A SOUTHERN CITIZEN OF DIS

With a great concourse attendant
upon the sad rites, the body of w
w. Lumpkin was laid to rest, the in

lowed the services at Trinity church
held at noon. In the throng that
filled the large edifice there were
few VINO did not know and care for
the kindly lovablc man who had
just died, and many OF his brother
hood were there, Knights Templart
Masons, Knights of Pythias and
Confederate soldiers attending in
companies of their various organ

land Knights Templar came in the
uniforms that Col. Lumpkin had
himself worn with so much pride
Among the members of the fratern..

for him.
The services at the grave were in
charge Of the Knights Templar and
the solemn highest Masonic rites
were observed in the last services,
BY request Of Gel. Lumpkin his
four sons, Hope H.. Alva NJ, Nor
ris c. and Bryan H. Lumpkin acted
as pail bearers. Honorary pail bear
ers were: u. r. Brooks, w. r. Hen

From the fraternal orders and er-
G mutations of which Col. Lumpkin
WAS valued member, and from the
many friends in Columbia and South
Carolina, and other States whe.e he
was well known the floral tributes
came, expressing sympathy and re-
gret from those who knew and low
ed the good man.
Col. Lumpkin was one of the
widely known citizens of South Car
olina and it is probable that no one
in Columbia had more personal
friends than he. He was well known
and loved by hundreds in every
walk Of life. He was of the old
South and for the new and his fide,-
ity to the one and his courage for
the other endeared him to thousands

There is state law against the
sale of cigarettes to minors, yet a
great number of the cigarette smok-
ers in our State are ,inors. The
question then Is. how 60 the boys
get the cigarettes2 Do they buy
them. or do they have individuals of
proper age to buy them? The OBJ
server believes it would not be ven
turesome to say that the boys have
bought and can buy cigarettes, and
that they have bought them in
Batesburg, There are cigarette
smokers among the boys of Bates
burg. You have seen some of them
smoking and SO have I. We may
not have seen them make their pur-
chases. yet they DO make them; and
every time such purchase is made
state law is violated.
1t is not my purpose at this time
to discuss the harmful effects of
cigarette smoking. My object now
is. to bring this matter to the atten-
ton of the authorities and Of our
people generally. Let the sale of
cigarettes to boys be stopped, and
then let every effort be made to
keep the boys from smoking. In
another issue something will be
said in this column ab6ut the harm
full effects of Cigarettes on the
young.

FINE MILLINERY
AT MONCKTON s
GREATSNUMBER OF BEAUTI
Full PATTERNS THIS
YEAR

The millinery opening at tn,
Globe Dry Goods Co in Columbia
on Wednesday was indeed a rev,
elation. Such an amazingly large
line of hats could scarcely be imag-
ined if eye had not seen and brain
been set awhirl with the wonder of
it all. The store from the very
door is abloom with spring and is
bordered and arched with masses OF
lovely flowers leading back into the
millinery department..
There the women flocked from
early hour to late and there they
found the widest sort of range for
their whims and fancies. Mr.. Monck
ton, manager of the Globe, stated
that he had bought daringly large
line of millinery this year, but that
the great numbers in which the
women were flocking to the store.
and the enthusiastic praise with
which they were expressing their
admiration already justified his ven
ture.
All the hats are made in New
York or imported by the Northern
houses from Partisan shops and
they are the very latest things of
the season; all are beautiful and
many are most distinctive and un-
ique. One is Immediately struck
by the number of magnificent os-
trich plumes used in every imagin-
able color. and by the exquisite
quality of the flowers which appear
in such quantities. both on the hats
and in the show cases.
The prices and style range from
the simplest and most reasonable to
the most elaborate and quite costly
though none could be considered
to enter the class of extravaganza
or extreme in either price o. style
and rich and poor may be satisfied.
In an adyourning apartment the
new wash suits and the pretty ling
erie and tub dresses of all sorts all
ure the women shopper VINO finds
there also an amazing variety and a
wonderful reasonableneSs in price
1t would be hard to estimate the
number of women who entered the
Globe Wedne sday-they were there
in numbers as early as s o'clock,

of these officers gave damaging tes-
timony against the accused. They
told how they had taken the vad-
ding which was picked up at the
yard of John Head where the gun
was fired, and compared it with the
shells found in the gun of the &C.
cused. 1t matched one of the shells
exactly.
Deputy Sheriff Miller. who was
with the party at the time the dogs
trailed up TO John Ailler'S house
and freed, told of going into the
house and making an examination
OF the gun. He stated that. in his
opinion, the gun had recently been
| fired.
Both Sheriff Corley and Deputy
Sheriff Miller swore that the shoe
which Miller had on the next day
after the shooting fitted the track to
the letter that led from the house OF
Head.
A man and his two sons testified
that they heard Miller say on the
same night that the shooting occur
red that he could not li,ea Christ
ian life because some people had
been trampling on his toes, and that
they had now begun to trample up
on his heart and that he expected to
get satisfaction before the sun arose
the next morning.

the penitentiary with the dogs. sta.
ted that the dogs carried the track
straight to John Miller's house, two
of them running up on the fporct

NEWELL TO BE RETIRED
Army Engineers Will Be Placed in
 control of Reclamation Work.

A dispatch from Washington to a San Francisco paper says reorganiza- ton of the reclamation service has been begun and that Frederick H. Newell, director of the reclamation service, will resign to make way for an army engineer. It has been de- termined to bring this branch of the interior department under the juris- diction of the engineers corps of the army, although it's head will contiue to be the secretary of the interior.
 Secretary Ballinger took up the matter personally with President Taft, and it was said that the president S views with regard to what ought to be done coincided with those of Bal finger.
 Two of the army engineers also took part in the conference and the president was given a clear idea as to the plans under consideration.
 Many thousands of dollars annually are expected to be saved as a result of this reorganization. Considerable duplication will be done away with.

ROOSEVELT AIDS JOHNSON
Says His Election Means Effective
 Blow at Crooked Combination.

The following letter has been re- ceived by Judge Curtis Lindley iron Theodore Roosevelt relative to the present campaign in California:
 NEW YORK, OCT. 20. 1910 My Dear Judge Lindley:-
 Thank you for your letter. The re- suit of the election in California is of National concern. The election of MT. Johnson is doubly important, not only because of what he is, but be- cause of that for which he stands. His nomination represented signal triumph for popular rights, and more- over it represented signal recogni- tion of popular duties. His victory means the most effective possible blow against the domination of the special interests in politics, and his defeat would be hailded with joy by every man who believes in perpetu- ating in this country the rule of that combination of crooked politics and of crooked finance which is above all else dangerous to the future of this Republic. The fight for clean and up- right government in California, the hght for clean business methods and for the complete ruling out of special interests from political control, has centered in the nomination of Mir. Johpson, and now centers in his elec- tionl The defeat of Mr Johnson wouY inevitably be taken everywhere thRWughout the Union as a rebuke to the men who have stood in the fore front of the battle for civic and busi- ness honesty No individual prefer ence for any other man should be per- mitted to sway any citizen from his duty in this matter. MT. Johnson em- bodies the cause of good governmen and clean business. He stands for efficiency, for progress, and for de- cency. He stands against special privilege. He stands for equal rights for all for the welfare of the farmer and the wageworker no less than for the business man, and for scrupul- ously safeguarding the rights of the weak no less than the rights of the strong. To him is due not only the support of every upright Republican, but especially the support of every upright independent, and of all men who put American citizenship and de- votion to the principles of American government above partizenship All farseeing men who believe in the per petuity of American institutions throughout this Union feel the keen est interest ill the success of MT. Johnson.
 Sincerely yours,
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
