BOB TAYLOR.

He is dead; he was tender, wise and
just;
He lived as all men live, and died as
all men must.
Yet so tenderly we loved him we for
got that he was clay,
Deity fashioned by Master Hand,
One rare, full day allowed to stand,
To crumble in one hour away.
He walked among us for a little while,
He gave US of his charity and cheered
us with his smile,
Wholesome as the sunshine breaking
up the dark,
1t could not fail to smooth the way,
Or brighten up the dreariest day;
1t was the light of sympathy from
an understanding heart.
He led no troops to victory, but he low.
ed his fellow men;
He did not noisy deeds of vaIor, but he
gave helping hand
To those who staggered on the toll.
some road;
His great, fine heart had feeling for the
joys and griefs of others;
The rich and poor, the small and great,
all men were his brothers,
And he helped them bear their loads.
But his voice, with all its music, is
hushed forever now,
Closed the kindly eyes in slumber,
smoothed the care-lines from his
brow,
Resting now is he.
And the Sculptor well might say
OF His masterpiece of clay:
"This is what meant man to be. "

Sank Within an Hour.

Several times as the compartments
rapidly filled, the vessel lurched heav-
lily. Then the cry went up that the
ship was sinking and there was rush
for the small boats that for the first
time threatened to transform brave
and orderly scene into one of frenzied
panic. AS the Titanic settled lower
under the weight of the rapidly gain
ing water in her hold, it was said that
some of her boats were stove in before
they could be freed from the davits,
and that few were swamped in the
effort to launch them.
Within less than an hour the DOOM
ed queen of the ocean had settled so
fast that the water had flooded her
engine rooms, and then her wireless
apparatus went out of commission. At
the same time, the failing of her dy-
namos extinquished her electric light
ing system and the mammoth craft
was plunged into stygian darkness ex-
cept for such feeble CLEANS as were Of.

appointing his friend to Office, and then
he exacts a promise from his friend
that he will not be candidate later on.
This is fine piece of trading. 1t is wor-
thy of cheese merchant, or pie cut
ter at the night wagon restaurant.
The governor and Newell hold con-
ference. Newell makes an application
for the job of senator because of past
services and the governor makes the
appointment, but surrounds it with
conditions. The governor insists that
Newell must agree to make no fight in
January for reelection. And Newell
agrees to the trade.
Newell Sanders, then, is not the sem
ator from Tennessee, representing the
people of Tennessee, but senator from
Tennessee operating under certain pro-
misses made to Ben Hooper and dis
charging his duties as senator under
The limitations Hooper has made. He
is not Tennessee's senator; he is Ben
w. Hooper's senator.
The bargain is Grass. The politics is
that Hooper hopes, in order to continue
in the good graces of the independent
democrats, to hold out them bait in
the way of a prospective senatorship
that may be secured by treacherous
bargain between republicans and men
willing to trade with them.
The governor also says in his letter
that he was sick-botb before and after
the death of Senator Taylor. The let
ter reads as if it were the product of
sick and vacillating mind, the mind of
weakling.
If we are to have a republican gov
ernor, let's at least have one who has
nerve.
The place for the independents is
back in the democratic party. And
Hooper's letter should drive any self
respecting democrat into determine
ton to assist in the election of the dem
ocratic candidate for governor this fall.

HIS AMBITION.

81 would rather be the humblest
among those who have given hope to
the hopeless, and happiness to the dis
tressed of my race, than to live in his
tory as a conquerer with my bands
stained with innocent blood. / would
rather have my name written among
those who have loved their fellow man
than to wear the laurels that encircle
the brow of the iron prince. / would
rather sleep in some quiet churchyard,
unknown and unremembered, save by
those in whose hearts I have scattered
seeds of kindness and upon whose lips
| have conjured smiles of joy, than to
be confined in a sarcophagus of gold,
with desolate homes as my monuments
and widows and orphans as living wit
nesses of my glory. Robert Love

Philadelphia, April 15-The outcome
of the democratic primaries is surprise
to the friends of Gov. Wilson. They
had expected clean sweep, as there

Only few districts instructed their

OF the GA elected, Gov Wilson appears
to be reasonably certain of 28 to 80. The
Others favor Clark or Harmon.
Under the law of Pennsylvania, Will
son will surely have some votes in the

BARRON SNOyVDEN DEAD.
Williamsburg Man Struck by
Train and Fatally Injured.

Ellenton, September 29:-Our lit
tie town was shocked on Saturday
morning, September 21, when it was
learned that Mr. Barron B Snowden
had been badly hurt by passing
train. At first it was hoped the
wounds would not prove fatal. A
short time after being found the
injured man was taken to Augusta,
Ga, to hospital, where he died
few hours later.
Mr. Snowden was a railroad man
and had been for many years. He
became a resident of this place sew
eral months ago, and during this
time won many friends by his kind
ness of heart, generosity and integ-
rity. He was 48 years of age and
was native of Williamsburg coun-
ty, having been reared at Indian
town, some 20 miles from Kingstree.
In 1889 he married Miss Elizabeth
Baxter, of Liberty county, Ga. He is
survived by his wife and three chill
dren-two sons and one daughter.
Mr. Snowden's death is much re-
GREETED and great sympathy is felt

who have been so suddenly deprived

For more than a yearI suffered from

arising,I was so lame and stiff that l
could scarcely get around and some

cluded to give them a trial and pro-
cured a box. After a brief use l
felt better than l had for years, my
