Abuse of Hospitality.

Charles NJ. Schwab, at his dinners
in his splendid white mansion In
Riverside Drive, tells a number OF
stories about thrift.
Excellent as thrift is" Mr..
schwab Ill sometimes say, 1T may
be carried too far.
Zones, for example, on a hot af-
ternoon entered Pittsburg saloon to
get a glass of cold lager. Perceiv-
ing Smith at the bar he said gener-
ously:
" Hello, Smith! Will you have a
beer?'
"The thrifty Smith, as he pushed
away his empty glass, answered:
"'No, thanks, Jones; I don't care
for another beer; but you can pay for
this one I've just finished If you
like Detroit Free Press.

The Congressional Outlook.

The Congressional Outlook.
The friends of Mr.. James F.
Byrnes feel greatly elated over the
fattering reception with which he has
been received throughout this dis
trict in his race for congress. In the
majority of the counties in which he
has spoken he has been the favorite,
and it seems now that he will be the
next congressman from the second
district.
Some of his friends even claim
that our Aiken county man may be
elected on the first ballot, and while
wo do not make any such claim, there
is a possibility Of this. While the
race undoubtedly is between Mr..
Byrnes and Mr.. Patterson, the only
thing that Mr.. Garris can hope to do
is to get enough votes to make a
second race.
The outlook in both Edgeleld and
Saluda Is a large vote for Byrnes,
and with the magnificent vote he will
receive in this county, will send him
down the country with a large
majority. In Mr.. Patterson's town
and county, Barnwell, he will re-
ceive a large vote, and the same is
true Of Bamberg. There Is every as
surance that Hampton will give a
splendid majority for Byrnes, and he
will get a winning vote in Beaufort.
Mr.. Byrnes has conducted a clean
campaign, ana he has met with favor
wherever he has gone. Aiken coun-
ty should feel proud of their candi-
date, and he should receive one OF
the largest votes in this county ever
given q candidate.
Since it has gotten in the atmes-
phere that he is the winning man, 1t
seems that there Is nothing that can
prevent his election.-Aiken Journal
and Review.

Lieutenant Governor Mcleod Endors'
ed by Home People.


On Wednesday afternoon, July 13,
an enthusiastic meeting Of the citi-
zens Of Bishopville and surrounding
country was held at Woodward grove
for the purpose of advancing the can
didacy of the Hon. Thos. G. NC
Leod for the Office Of governor. The
people of Lee county want to snow
the Democratic voters Of this State
what they think of this home cand1-
date. The following resolution was
adopted and a committee Of five ap-
pointed to place the same before the
Democratic voters of the State at the
expense of the meeting:
We, the citizens Of Bishopville and
surrounding territory, the home of
the Honorable Thos. G. Mcleod, can
didate for governor, do hereby IN
meeting assembled, voluntarily and
without his knowledge or solicitation,
heartily recommend him to the Demo-
cratic voters of South Carolina, as
in every way competent and capable
to fill the responsible duties Of gov
ernor. His ability is unquestioned
and unquestionable; his character IS
irreproachable; his simple word 1s
as binding as his bond; always true
to principle, honor ana integrity; his
whole life is an unanswerable argu-
ment to the faintest whisper against
his uprightness of character, his
sobriety and his untarnished repu-
tation.
Shortly after leaving college, he
lost his father, and taking cnarge OF
his fathers estate, farm and mer-
camille business, he managed 1t with
great business judgment and succeed
ed in paying off large Indebtedness,
at the same time he was father to
his brothers and sister, educating
them and to-day they look up to, love
and respect him as father. He has
good Judgment and excellent execu-
tive ability, his election can be no
mistake and we bespeak for him the
support of the Democracy of South
Carolina.
AS a representative for two years,
as a senator for four years, he al
WAYS stood for those things which
were for the best interests of the
people, and as lieutenant governor
for four years, he was absolutely fair
and impartial in his rulings and pre-
sided with dignity and ability and we
firmly believe that his record there
made entities him to tnat promotion
which is always accorded an honest
and faithful public servant.

LIGHTNING PLAYS PRANK.
Sets House of Charlotte Architect on
Fire by Curious Twist.

Charlotte, N. c., August 40
Lightning palyed a curious trick at
the home of Architect o. L. Wheeler
in this city yesterday afternoon dur
ing a thunder storm. It struck the
house and was carried to combina-
ton electric and gas chandelier by the
electric wires. The fixtures was snap
ped off at the ceiling and the escap-
ing gas was ignited. Things looked
squally for time, but a neighbor
with chemical fire extinguisher put
out the blaze and another neighbor
turned off the escaping gas.
At another house in the same
neighborhood the incandescent lights
were turned on by the lightning In
some unaccountable manner.

Mr.. Byrnes a Favorite.
(Saluda Standard.)

The candidates for congress were
next introduced. Senator Forrest read
a letter from Congressman Patterson,
stating that he was too unWell to ad-
dress the meeting, having just re-
covered from an attack Of illness.
Mr.. James F. Byrnes was next In
troduced. He discussed the tarih IS
sue at length. He maintained that the
Democratic doctrine is tariff for reve-
nue. only, and he would not join hands
with the Republicans in their robbery
of the American taxpayers. He advo-
Gates Federal aid in road building
along the rural routes. Mr.. Byrnes
was a favorite with the audience.

Every weed that you allow to rlpen

Took an Expensive Nap.

Beaufort, N. c., August 20.-Capt.
James M. Perkins, of Morehead, N. c.,
cashed a $500 check at Newbern, n.

his destination, and brought him to
Beaufort. The money was gone.

Favorite in Hampton.
(Estill Progress.

Among the notables at the Institute
meeting last Tuesday, was our friend
Solicitor James F. Byrnes who Is too
we'll known in this community to need
introduction. Jim has the happy
faculty of making friends, wherever
he goes, and hopes by the aid OF
these, to win out in the coming pr1-
mary election as the congressional
candidate from the second district for
which Office he announced himself.

Cries for "Byrnes."
(RarnWell Sentinel.)

Jas. F. Byrnes made friend-W1n-
ming talk that would be a credit to a
much older and more experienced
politician. He leaned his remarks
mostly to the tariff talk OF one op-
ponent and the "arduous duties OF
the other. He was frequently inter-
rupted by applause and cries for
"Byrnes,'

Well Received in Beaufort.
County Democrat

The first speaker of the day was
James F. Byrnes, candidate for con-
gress, who spoke along the same lines
as in former speeches and reiterated
that If honored by the votes OF the
people that he would do something
for the good of his state and district.
His speech was well received and
it is safe to predict that he will get
some votes in Beaufort county.
