TRIBUTE BL A FRIEND.
MIR. J. S. J. Suber Recalls DAYS When
HoWsen Calhoun Kenner Lived
in NeWberry County.

In The Herald and News of Tues
day appeared a notice taken from the
Houston Chronicle Of, the death OF
Howsen Calhoun Kenner, a gallant
Confederate soldier, who was a native
Of Newberry.
In speaking of the death of Veter-
an Kenner, Mr.. J. S. J. Suber, of New
berry county, said:
"I was reared within a mile and a
half of where Howsen Kenner lived
until he moved to Texas in 1876.
was then just twenty years of age, and
assisted in moving him and his fam
lily to Lyles' ford, where they took the
train for Texas, never to return. It
was sad parting for both of us, as he
was always my friend, and seemed as
well satisfied in my company, though
I was but boy, as he did in the COM
pany of those nearer his age. But few
ever think of the lasting impression
made upon a boy by such friendship
and kindness as he and his family be-
slowed upon me.
"I went to school several years to
his wife, Mrs. Judith Sims Kenner.
She was an excellent teacher, and a
good and kind woman. So much inter-
est did she seem, to take in me, teach
ing me at noon between school hours,
that I was often taunted by the other
scholars with her being partial to me.
But it was not so, for she did her duty
faithfully to each and every one, and
I hope that those Of her pupils who
are living will, like myself, appre eciate
and cherish the memory of our old
school teacher. She writes me that
she can not hope to be upon this earth
but a short while longer, and that #
she doesn't see US here any more shs
hopes to meet us in that bright and
happy land. 'Tis pleasant to know
that true friends are friends to th7
last.
MAY the good Lord bless each and
every one of the family and help them
to bear their sore bereavement"

his regiment sent him the following
certificate which he cherished with
great pride:

and stand up and see the ordinance
violated every hour in the day the

granted that the ordinance was pass

doing something. Il creates a dis

was told that down in Sumter there
was stopping ordinance at every
cross street or Main street through
the business section, and it was obey
ed. That has the effect of taking the
Joy and pleasure riders off the busi-
ness street. Here in Newberry, es-
pecially on Saturday afternoon when
the streets are crowded with people
and teams from the country, the Joy
aid pleasure riders take a delight in
going around the Glider & Weeks cor
ner, and for the life of me I cant un-
derstand why. But this is none of
my business, I reckon. If the auto
lists would get together and build a
few good roads out from town pleas
ure riding would be increased a hun
dred fold. Why not do it? I will
help. I'll send my old gray mule.
I reckon some people will think
am a knocker, but I am not. / am a
kicker. I told you the difference some
time ago, when I related the exper-
ience of the two frogs that the milk
man gathered up in the branch. You
remember that of course. And every
time I have kicked it has been for the
good Of this community and I dare
anybody to say to the contrary.
I read somewhere the other day.
I think it was in Puck, something like
this: eff a man were to please every
body, he would have no fool enemies
to Offset the pernicious activities of
his fool friends" Now, read that over
again. It will do you good and it
illustrates me. I am not trying to
please everybody. I want some "fool
enemies" to "offset the pernicious ac-
tivities" of my "fool friends" See
the point? We are obliged to have
'em if we accomplish anything worth
while. I am patriot and everything
I write is to help somebody, and there
by to help my town. Of course I
would rather have words of COM
mendation than condemnation, but so
long as I know and feel that I am
right, am going On in the even tenor
of my way and I don't care what any,
body thinks or says. That sounds big,
don't it? Well, I mean every word of
it, and do not intend to be offensive,
either. The Idler.

port of New York, where the treasury was defrauded of a large sum of money.
 The $700,000 was first deposited in the sub-treasury at New York, but is now in the treasury here.
 In accepting the money the govern ment assumed the attitude that it has not sufficient grounds for prose cution.
 The decision to accept the compro- mise was only reached after thor ough investigation conducted by Unit ed States District Attorney Wise, J.. F. Curtis, assistant secretary of the treasury, and w. F. Thompson, solici- tor for the treasury department.
 In urging the government to accept the compromise, Messrs James M. Beck and Wickham Smith, attorneys for the sugar trust, presented a lengthy petition to Secretary Mac Veagh The arguments they made in this petition will not be made public.
 When negotiations for a settlement were begun the sugar trust only Of fered $250,000. This was gradually forced up to s5OO.000, but the govern ment officials held off for a larger sum. When the amount of $700,0oC was named the latter made up their mind to accept.
 The settlement of the drawback cases at the port of New York will not affect the frauds uncovered at the ports of New Orleans and San Fran. cisco.

Hadley Makes Recommendations

Jefferson City Mo, Jan. 11.-Gov. Hadley's biennial message to the legis- lature, covering a number of impor- tant subjects of vital interest to the people of Missouri and their welfare, was read in both branches of the gen. eral assembly. While the message contained many of the recommenda- tions which were incorporated in his message to the forty-fifth general as sembly, there is much new matter for legislative consideration.
 The governor devotes more space to discussion of the present system of taxation as administered and the ne- cessity for its revision than to any other subject.
 The necessity for more revenue to meet the demands of the growing state educational and eleemosynary institutions is discussed at length
