Rev. @. [. DuRant Dead.

There are many people in
Pickens county who will regret
to receive this news. He was
known and called here Judge
Durant'' and numbered his
friends by his acquaintances.
He died at Lake City on the
night of January 31st at the
home of one of his sons. He
had retired from active work in
the ministry on account of his
health some years ago, land for
the past year rapidly declined.
He was IS years old and is sur
vived by bis wife and nine chill
dren, four bows and five girls.
Judge Durant first came to
this County about 1870 or 1872
as pastor of the Eas!ey and
Pickens and others churches,
which then constituted his cir.
cult. After serving this field
awhile he was elected probate
judge of this county and
served one term. Later he was
twice elected to the office of
county school commissioner
and after retiring from this of
flee became assistant county
treasurer du,ins the terms of
Capt. John II. Bowen and Mr..
]. Tyler Hill. He also served
Of years as clerk for the
commissioners.
In all these public trusts as
well as in his ministerial duties
he performed his tasks with f.
lelitv to the people and in the
fear Of God.
He was a man of sterling
qualities: simple and unassum-
ne in his manners, yet earnest,
faithful and true to every duty.
rruly a good man has gone to
lis reward.

mond to be used as heef cattle.
Some time ago Mr.. Lathem built
a large modern barn on his farm
for the purpose of raising beet
cattle for the various markets.
This is his first shipment and it
is one to be proud of. They are
beautiful and meet the demands
of the purchasers but will sur
pass those of other markets.
The above was taken from
the Anderson Daily Mail and
was written by its correspondent
at Easley, Mr.. J. I. Lathem is
we'll known in this county. He
is a leader in enterprises for the
best interest and development
of the county. A public spirited
man and one whose good Judge
ment and examples might be
followed by many others with
profit.
AS has often been remarked
in these columns this is corn,
cattle and hog county, and it is
surprising to us that more OF
our prominent farmers are not
engaged in stock raising. We
have made no inquiry but
believe upon investigation
it will be found that themanure
from the cattle will pay for then
feed. This can be applied to
the land and in just a few years
will more than double in pro-
ductiveness. q

TO MAKE OF LEXINGTON
THE TOWN BEAUTIFUL"
Activities of the Civic League of
Lexington

The Woman's Civic League of
Lexington, composed Of public
spirited and enterprising women of
the community, will soon begin a
campaign for spring cleaning of the
town. Back yards, gardens, alleys
and outlying streets will come in
for special attention. Cleanliness
stand- for good health, while ln-
cleanliness is cCnduciv- 10 disease.
Aside from the practical benefits
of better health, cleanliness in
creasestbe beauty OF the town and
adds TO the selfrespect and comfort
Of the individual citizen. Tbs ladies'
will lead campaign 10 this direct
ion.
In connection with this work the
following directions, recently adopt
cd by a Virginia city, may not be
inappropriate for Lexington:
First: No city can be healthy
unless the streets and yards are
kept clean.
Second: Sanitary laws must be
regularly and continually enforced,
and not spasmodically.
Third; The emptying OF gar
bage cans should be carefully and
thoroughly done by employees OF
the sanitary department.
Fourth: There should be some
provision made by the city to sup
ply poor people with garbage cans.
Fifth: A city should build it's
sewers to keep ahead of and not
with it's growth"
In May, 1908. upon the 1recom-
mendation Of the Mayor the Town
Council set part week for the
systematic cleaning of the town, to
be dime on successive days, follow
ing the four fire wards. The
citizens cleaned their premises on
the respective days and the town
carts hauled the trash away. The
plan was so satisfactory and sue
cessful that for several years the
same method was used for cleaning
the town.

Roosevelt'S Bitter Charges

In an address in Chicago last
Wednesday night Colonel Roosevelt
dashed his opponents and charged
some OF them with using fraud and
srfckery to defeat him. He said in
part:
TIE fundamental issue in this
fight is an issue OF honesty, decen-
cy. fair play. Have the people the
right to ruler, Have the masses Of
the Repub lican party. the rank and
file, the plain people in whom Abra-
ham Lincoln trusted, the right TO
express their will as TO who the
nominee for President shall be? Or
are they to be bullied and defrauded
out of that right, and is the nomina
ton to be entrusted to the represen.
tatives of political and financial
privileges, and the representatives
of powers and pillage. the men who,
with the backing of big crooked
business, work through the lowest
kind of political machinery and
count on the silence or support OF
every newspaper That is owned or
controlled by. or directly or indi-
rectly responsive to those great
financial powers that work in the
darkness?"

Why Should Not Lexington Have a
Public Park?

Editor GAzErTE:-Why should not
Lexington have public park2 some
place whore after the days work is
done a person could go and spend a
few hours in quiet contemplation of
nature? We have some ideal spots
right around Lexington for this
purpose; for example, the reservoir
lot. which would make a splendid
place for a-~park, by setting out
trees and adding more land.
Some persons might say we dom
need a park as long as we have the
V. NJ. l. aud w. L. U. grounds so
close. But neither Of these institu-
tions likes to give permission for pic
mic parties or anything OF that kind
to go on their grounds. So let us
look around and see if we cannot
find some place equally as we'll stu
ated for this purpose.
The old Plunket Springs proper
tv. on the southern edge of town.
would make an ideal park. Some
years ago. while under the control
of Rev. A. p. Boude it Was contem-
plated to make PARK OF it and the
name was Willow Park Place. Many
stately trees already adorn the
place, and with the addition OF park
furniture, such as swings, benches,
etc., the place would be ideal. Its
nearness TO town also makes it at
tractive.
The town has large depth, it is
true, out it seems that the. establish
ment of a public park is q most i'm
portant move.
Lexington will never be a manu-
featuring town to any extent. but
many summer visitors are attracted
here every year and to this class,
coming from the noice and hustle OF
cities, q quiet public park will ap.
peal most effectively.
| Lei US think about the matter,
and perhaps in time our hopes will
be realized. n. A. W.

Flood Says Martin Is Not After
Presidential Nomination

Congressman Hal D. Flood of
the Tenth district, who was in
Richmond last week, is far from
enthusiastic over the plan to in
struct the Virginia delegation to the
National Convention for Senator
Martin. When asked about the
matter he said:
by no means. l have no idea
the delegation will be instructed
for Senator Martin, for the reason
that the Senator does not desire
such action. He will distinctly
discourags-any attempt to have the
delegation instructed for favorlte
son vote.
When reminded that Governor
Mann had come out recently in an
interview in favor of Senator Mar
/ tin for the Democratic nomination,
the Tenth District Congressman
said:
"Oh. yes, | am in favor of a Vir-
ginia vote for Senator Martin. too,
as long as the Senator cares for is.
But as have said, he does not wish
such action"
Both Dir. Flood and Senator Mar
tin are extremely reticent in regard
to the contest between Wilson, Har-
mon, Clark and Under wood, and
neither would discuss the matter.
Il don't see anything to discuss
about the national situation" said
Senator Martin in reply to Ques-
ton. In regard to the reasoa for
his visit to Richmond, Senator Mar
tin said that he merely wished to
see his old friends OF the Democratic
Committee. Its always good to
get back in Virginia." he added.
