Passage of Local Option Bill Certain.

The amt Saloon League announces
that it not only has majority, but has
a comfortable working margin in favor
of local option in both houses OF the
next Legislature. The Republican city
organization advised its candidates for
the Legislature in the Second and Third
districts to keep quiet on local option.
Of the twelve candidates for the House
in the two districts five took the advice
of the League and declared for local
option. The League elected four of
them. Of the seven who took the ad-
vice of the city organization and re-
manned quiet, the politicians did not
elect even one. The League supported
one of the Democratic candidates in
Baltimore City in the Second District
and he was the highest man on the
ticket
The League won notable victory in
Washington county in defeating DIR.
Miller, the author of the notorious
gag" bill introduced two years ago to
kill the League movement by making it
an offense to ask candidates where they
stood on the temperance question. The
League also elected the Republican Sen
ator and four Delegates from Carroll
county pledged to local option. In Har-
ford county, MIR. Osborn, Democrat, in
dorsed by the League was hundreds of
votes ahead of anybody else. The next
candidate was local option Republican
and the one Democrat who had bad
record was defeated. And there were
numerous lesser victories.
The League reports that its position
has been greatly strengthened through
out the state onits acceptance ofpledges
from the Gubernatorial candidates and
remaining neutral in the contest for
Governor, and that the Democratic par
ty owes it's defeat to the prominence of
Mr.. Mahon. the city boss, who used its
party organization to defeat the local
option bill in the last two legislatures.

Declaring that the decisive defeat of
the suffrage amendment in Maryland
last Tuesday should show Maryland
Democrats that the passage of such
measure is hopeless and one which prob
ably works irreparable harm upon the
party that fosters it, the New York
Evening Post last Friday printed the
following editorial:

COMPLEXION Of THE NEXT
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
House Will Have so Democrats And
AZ Republicans.

Inc political complexion OF the next
House of Delegates will be go Demo
Gratis and AZ Republicans. while in the
Senate there will be 10 Democrats and
8 Republicans.
The Democratic majority in the SEN
ate will be larger than it has been for
years, while in the House it will be
slightly less than it was at the past two
sessions.
In the Senate the Democrats have far
more than a three-ffths majority,
which is enough to override a Govern
or's veto, but in the House OF Dele
gates they lack two votes of such a ma
iority.
The Legislature will convene in An
napolis on January 8 and already there
is much speculation as to who will be
President of the Senate and Speaker of
the House. The Democrats will organ
ize both branches and appoint all the
subordinate employees.
A boom has been launched for the
election of Senator Blair Lee, of Mont
gomery county, as President of the
Senate. There is no doubt that if he
would accept the Presidency he would
be UNANIMOUSLY elected He has served
three terms and is popular with his col
leagues and with party people because
of the active support he gave Senator
German in the general camsaign.
Senator John P. Moore, of Worcester
county, is also being mentioned for the
Presidency. In point of service he out
ranks every member of the Legislation.
Another mentioned is Senator Jesse D.
Price, of Wicomico county.
1t is thought that the Democrats will
have more trouble in agreeing upon a
speaker than they will be in agreeing on
President. Only few men with leg
islative experience have been elected to
the House. Two of the most prominent
and conspicuous are Mr.. Harry Osborne,
OF Hartford county, and Mr.. Ogle Mar
bury, of Prince Georges county. Both
were members of the last Legislature
and their friends noint with nrido to
their records

Sang at His Own Funeral.

We hear now and then of a man
reading his own obituary in the pa
pers, but it IS rare thing for a
dead man to sing at his own funer-
al. Pietro Ficco, a shoemaker and
amateur musician, had n very great
fondness for the phonograph.
He purchased a great many rec
ords and occasionally sang into his
own phonograph and kept records of
the songs. He was taken seriously
i'll and recognized that he could not
recover, and being a poor man and
unable to get up much of a funeral
he requested that they use his
phonograph to furnish the music
for the funeral services.
He picked up the "Angers Ser
enade" and Gounod's Ave Maria, -
sung by himself, and these were
used, and thus the dead man took
an important part at his own fun
eral service. He instructed that his
phonograph and 72 records, a num-

MAN ALIVE WHO SAW WASH.
INGTON.

John Lane Looked ON Great Patri-
OTIS Face When Body Was Moved
Back in 1887.
Washington, Feb. lS.-on We'd
nesday the nation celebrates the one
hundredth and seventy-ninth ami
versary of the birth of Washington.
There is man still living in this
the twentieth century, who gazed
on the face of the father of this
country. This man remembers we'll
how that great man looked. He is
not merely the only man alive to-
day who ever saw the first Presi-
dents face, but he is the only man
of the present generation who ever
had that privilege. He is this gem
eration's nearest tie to the actual,
physical Washington.
The occurance which makes the
apparently impossible thing a fact,
was the opening of the tomb "a
years ago. At that time the body
was moved from one tomb to an
other. A committee Of congress Of
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1911-03-16

ficiated at the transfer. The coffin
was opened for one brief moment,
and the members took 4 last long
look at the face of the man who
had done most toward establishing
the nation, which was already grow
ing great.
The remains had been competent
ly embalmed, and the face remain
ed as in life. After this one look
the coffin was placed in it's new
abode, where it has rested undis-
turbed ever since.
But when this Congressional COM
mittee on that October day three
quarters of a century ago, wound its
way to Mount Vernon there went
with it n bit of a boy. And while
its members gazed awe-stricken on
what they saw one of them raised
the boy aloft, and he, too, looked.
Johnnie Lane-the Boy.
All the other members of that
party being at the time men of ma
turity have long since died. The
boy of 1897 is the John Lane OF to-
day.
On the morning the transfer was
made the members of the commit
tee had met at the bookstore OF
John Lanes uncle, and were there
awaiting the coming of the coaches
to take them to Mount Vernon.
Johnnie Lane was great favorite
Of Henry Clay, and that gentleman
was sort OF master OF ceremonies
on the occasion. When all was in
readiness and there seemed no room
left, Clay, much to the surprise of
the boy, lifted him aloft and the
party started.
The tomb was entered and AN at
tempt made to bring out the coffin.
IT was found, however, that the
wood was 50 rotted that it fell TO
pieces. Inside of the wood was
found leaden casket In this the
first President had been embalmed
in alcohol and sealed tightly.
1t was born solemnly out of the
old tomb and placed IN the new
sarcophargus to be made ready for
its new resting place. When it was
lowered into this marble covering
and before the lid OF it was put OH,
the whole was viewed by the Con-
gressional committee.
In the top of the leaden casket
over the face piece of glass had
oeen fitted into the lead. This
glass was cleaned of the accumu-
lations OF the past years and bur
nished bright that that which was
within might be seen. The Con-
gressmen gathered about and look
ed through the glass.
The head remained preserved as
in life. His strong, characterful
face was turned to one side and
those who looked saw the profile.

'1dltor Herald
In your statement concerning the
tragic death of Jno. Henry Bethea.
i'll your last issue, you have unin-
tentionally made one or more asser-
lions that might in some measure
prejudice the case now pending
against his estate. Mr.. Bethea did
not follow the negro porter. as you
state, nor did he without further
words pull his pistol and shot the
negro The negro, in n very in
Solent manner demanded that Mr..
Bethea should cease to smoke in
the car. Mr.. Bethea resented the
manner of the negro's approach,
and told the impudent rascal to
leave him at once or he would shoot
MIN instantly. The negro went to
the conductor and told what had
happened. The conductor told the
negro not to go near Mr.. Bethea
again, but this the negro refused to
do. And when he entered the car
where Mr.. Bethea was sitting, again
the quarrel was renewed, most prob
ably by the insolent manner of the
negro, and after few words Mr.
Bethea shot the negro.
The few passengers in the car be-
gan to stampede. whereupon Mr..
Bethea assured them that he would
not hurt hair on their heads"
stating that he had killed a negro,
but that he ithe negro) had insult
ed him"
Just at this juncture the conduc-
tor came rushing in with a pistol in
his hand. when Mr.. Bethea asked
him IF he had come to take the
negro's part What answer the
conductor made is not positively
known. but it is fair to assume
that he gave assurance Of such in
tention, or else Mr.. Bethea would
not have shot him.
Those who knew MIR. Bethea will
readily agree, that aside from the
one unfortunate habit of strong
drink. he was in every way a splen-
did character. No one cam truth
fully charge him with dishonor or
with rowdiness. He was quiet in
manners, kind in disposition, and
tender hearted. The attempt to
portray him as a desperate on the
part of some newspapers is both
useless and despicable and can do
no harm to his memory, where he
was known.
That every kinsman and friend OF
Mr.. Bethea's deplores the terrible
tragedy, by which he and the 9TH
ers involved have suffered. is fact
too well known to deny, but that
they are willing to see his name
branded as a desperate, and his
character traduced, is as offensive
and false as false can be.
Mr.. Bethea, like all who bear that
honorable name, and all mankind
as for that, had his faults, but they
were not that of cowardice or dis
honor. His were faults of human
frailties, not of viciolsness, or that
of a desperaco.
OF course all his friends and kins-
men deplore the untimely death OF
