The Boy Who Kissed His Mother.

Suu uP OH IuSiC 10 III <uS "SAAN
and among it all can be found moth.
ing that bespeaks better for boy
than the kiss he gives his mother.
A Chicago Judge is somewhat OF
the same opinion. He judged two
boys less from the evidence given by
witnesses than from the evidence
presented by themselves in their
treatment of their mothers in court
One boy, whom the Judge decided
must 90 to the reformatory, tenderly
kissed his mother goodbye, sinking
his own misfortune in sympathy with
the sorrows of his mother. The judge
looked on and instantly decided that
there was enough good in that boy
to enable him and his mother to work
out his salvation. -,
At the same moment another boy
whom the same Judge had announced
would probably go free, glanced
meaningly at his mother, who sat
weeping, and started to walk out.
That boy went to the reformatory.
We hear much of the redeeming
virtue of boys love for his mother.
No one doubts it. 1t is recognized
everywhere in principle, but seldom
needed in practice.
The Judge has only applied COM
mon sense in Interpretation of the
law. Perhaps few judges take the
trouble to do it. But it is worth
while.
The boy against whom the evidence
seemed conclusive, burt in his extrem-
ity thought first of his mothers sor-
row, has good stuff in him. In send
ing him back home with that mother
the Judge sent him to the best re-
formatory in the world.
1t was no chance kiss. 1t was then
that all the elements in the boys
character became stimulated to the
highest tension and the resultant act
indicates the real character.
The kiss of his mother had become
one of the most important things in
that boys life. When the crisis came
he turned to it instinctively. The
mothers love, perhaps never fully re-
allied before, opened to him as his
first refuge.
Memories of lullabies, or midnight
vigils, of toll and worry and sacrifice
and unwavering devotion came upon
that boys mind and heart and soul
in a food.
He could no more resist that in
clination to kiss his mother than he
could at that moment remould his
character.
Such a boy may yield to tempta-
ton. Bad companionship may lead
him into trouble. He may commit
crimes and the evidence against him
be conclusive. But so long as the
love of mother remains his strongest
emotional force there can be but lit
tie pollution in his heart and must
be much hope for his complete re-
demption.-Pensaco Journal.

KILLING AT OLAR.
Lennie Reed Shot and Killed by
Maner Morris.

Maner Morris.
Last Wednesday a shooting ARRAY
occurred at Olar, in which a young
white man named Lennie Reed, son
of Mr.. Mack Reed, received wounds
which caused his death Tuesday of
this week. The inquest was held
Tuesday afternoon by Coroner Zeig-
ler, but we have been unable to get
the particulars in time to go to press
to-day Wednesday,
There have been number of ru-
mors in circulation about the affair,
none of which can be affirmed. How
ever, it appears certain that the
shooting occurred in the store OF
Morris at Olar, and that Reed was
shot three times, one bullet taking
effect in his right arm, one in the
left back or side, and one in the right
side of the back bone. 1t was seen
at once that his wounds were very Sc
rious, and physicians operated on him
at once in the hope of saving his life,
but their best efforts could not save
him. The coroner's jury rendered a
verdict to the effect that Reed, came
to his death by pistol shot wounds at
the hands of Maner Morris. and Nor
ris has not been arrested. He left i'm
mediatley after the shooting, but it is
said he will surrender in short time.
Reed was about twenty-one years old,
and Morris is about twenty-five.

Taylor-Ehrhardt.

The marriage of Miss Alma Eu-
genia Taylor to Mr.. Herbert Wilson
Ehrhardt was social event of un-
usual Interest, as it is link which
adds Newberry to the list Of the
cities from which this prominent fam
lily, the founders of Ehrhardt, s. c.,
have carried their brides. Rev. ]. e.
Carlisle, of Central Methodist church,
solemnized the impressive service at
the home of the brides mother, Mrs.
Alma Taylor, on Wednesday evening
at $3.50 o'clock, which was witnessed
by large number Of friends and rel
atives from other cities.
The charming brides gown was a
white marquisette creation with ma
crane lace peplums and rich rib
bon girdle. She carried a lovely
brides rose shower bouquet and
looked charming in her girlish beau
ty. Miss Louise Taylor, maid of hon.
or, was gowned in a blue crepe de
chine. Her bridesmaids were Miss
Renna Reeder, who wore white
marquisette over pink, and Miss
Sara White, who wore pink satin,
each bearing a bouquet of pink and
white carnations. The dame of hon
or, Mrs. w. H. Casson, of Columbia,
was beautifully gowned in pink with
elegant lace trimmings. and a lovely
shower bouquet of pink and white
roses. Elizabeth White and Harold
Newman bore basket Of rose pet
ais to scatter good luck beneath the
floral bell under which two hearts
were made to beat as one. The we'd
ding march was beautifully rendered
by Miss Lucy Hill.
Refreshments were served by Miss
es Helen Heitman, Carrie Belle West,
Helen Satterwhite, Nell Fridy, Err
nestine and Rebecca Wicker and An
ma Dickert. The souvenir-bearers
were Dorothy Taylor and Faye Rik-
ard. Misses Lucille Epting, of Sa-
vannah, and Myrtle Dennis served
punch in the shaded grotto amid a
bevy of girls and admiring devotees
of their bright visitors.
The decorations in the reception
room were pink and white. The hall
way and stairs were wreathed with
smilax and formed a lovely back
ground with waxen candles.
Mrs. w. H. Anderson and Misses
Gertrude Reeder and Hattie Shelley
welcomed the numerous guests and
led the way to the tables, loaded with
gifts from home and abroad, attest
ing the high esteem felt by all for
the charming young bride.
: The out-of-town guests were: Mrs.
Charles Ehrhardt, Miss Edrie Ehr-
hardt, Mr.. j. B. Ehrhardt and Mr.
Harry Copeland, of Ehrhardt; Misses
Lucille Epting and Helen Heitman, OF
Savannah; Miss Sara White, of Clin-
ton; Mr.. and Mrs. W. E. Pitt, of Bal
timore; Miss Bertha Wadsley, OF
Spartanburg; Mrs. w. H. Casson'
Mr.. and Mrs. R. C. Williams, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. H. Newman and children,
of Columbia.
The bride is one of Newberry's
most charming young ladies, and her
going off from her childhood home is
a source of regret, but Newberry's
loss is Ehrhardt's gain. The brides
going-off gown was lovely gray
suit with hat to match. Mr.. Ehr-
hardt is a graduate of Newberry COL
lege and is in commercial business in
his native town founded by his an
cestors.- Observer.

A Fair Review of the Campaign

AS a plain matter OF public interest.
the only important happening OF the
week in the Taft campaign has been
the strange rumor that Vice-President
Sherman, Oh the plea Of illhealth,
might be withdrawn from the Repnb-
lican ticket and Curtis Guild, Jr., OF
Massachusetts appointed by the ma
tional committee In his place. Mr..
Sherman has been a sicker man than
Is generally known, but II seems as
II the rumored change has been
abandoned. Mt least for the present.
Governor Wilson during the week
has done one OF those courageous
things which first established his
political reputation. He has come
out squarely and aggressively against
Senator James Smith, Jr., the Demo
cratic boss OF New Jersey who tried
TO dominate him and couldn't. Smith
Is seeking the senatorial nomination,
and Wilson read TO the state the rec
ord of his treachery TO his party in
the tariff fight under Grover Cleve-
land. This boldness Is welcomed by
the New York Evening Post on the
ground that the governor has been
making a very quiet and unobtru-
sive" campaign. 1T is an open ques-
tion," adds this pro-Wilson paper,
whether his policy in so doing has
been the best possible under the cir
cumstances.
IL Is too early TO say just what Mr..
Wilson has done in his elusive en-
counter with the Tammany Hall boss
es in New York on Thursday. But 1t
appears reasonably certain that In

In his Labor Day speech at Bunalo.
Woodrow Wilson laid bare the fallacy
and the peril OF that part of the Third
Termer's program which calls Tor
federal commission TO establish
minimum wage and other measures OF
industrial control This is the dis
tinctive feature OF the Roosevelt plat
form which, in it's other aspects, as
Governor Wilson truly said. Is merely
"a proclamation of sympathy ana
not a pledge TO definite undertakings.
The pith OF its purpose lies In those
clauses that speak OF the tarin and
the trusts and II is just there tnat
the Third-Termer's platform says ana
creaks most ominously.
IL take IL for granted" said Mr..
Wilson. that II minimum wage

majority of employers would take oc.
casion TO bring their wage scale az

I to set up a commission on whose duty

and develop. So that the chief EN-
ployers will have this tremendous au
thority behind them: what they de
will have the license OF the fedora

Thus the masters of consolidated
interests would be taken under tht

be no effort to check or to defea'
