MORE ABOUT A. L. DWYER.
Said to Have Joined Mormon Church
The Man Who Created Quite a
Stir in This Section.
Anderson Mail.

Anderson Mail.
Many of the people of this section
will recall the Rev. A T. Dwyer, who
operated in this section for more than
a year, and who left the Flat Rock
section last summer.
Information comes from an Ander-
son gentleman, who states that Salt
Lake paper is On file in the public Ii
brary at Fountain Inn in Greenville
county, and that the paper contains an
account of Dwyer joining the Mormon
church This is not surprising to
many people, as Dwyer had changed
his chuch affiliations quite number
of times previously. He claimed
originally to have been a Catholic
priest, (though the Catholics deny
this), and in sermons, lectures, etc.,
he bitterly denounced that church.
The Catholics came back at him, and
printed whole lot of things, with af-
fdavits attached, about DWyer which
were anything but complimentary.
Most of this controversy was printed
in the columns of the Daily Mail.
For some months before leaving this
section Dwyer operated mostly in the
southern section of this county, in Alb
beyille and other counties. He lee

tured and showed moving pictures to
both whites and blacks. He had many
friends who strongly believed in him
and many more who looked upon him
as an adventurer.
Dwyer had joined the Baptist church
before coming to Anderson, and just
before he left he made application to
Cross Roads church at Starr to grant
him license to preach. The officials
of that church were making an investi-
cation of the matter when Dwyer left
this section.
Dwyer had been preaching and lee
turing a good deal to the negroes, and
many of the whites resented this
Just before leaving Dwyer had an
nounced that he would address the
negroes at Mt. Moriah church, five
miles below the city, and on the night
in question a number of whites gath
cred at point along the route with
home hickory switches in their hands
Dwyer got wind of this, and did not
show up at the colored church. He
left a few days afterwards.
While in that section Dwyer made
his home at Mrs. Jas. Longs and a
considerable amount of his belong
ings are still there.

myself 1 never went to a football
game or a baseball game or horse
race. 1 am doing all 1 am doing on
business principles.
Few men would envy him such a
record, even though it should gain
them his five million dollars. Nor was
his example one worthy of emulations
Perhaps his life would have been more
diffusive of cheer and kindness had
he lived in more intimate touch with
the common heart of bis generation.
But the vital fact is that he lived true
to his purpose and reflected the light
as his soul received it.
He narrowed himself to work, toAbe
sure, but not to the mere gold which
the work produced His philanthropy
was eccentric rather than spontaneous
and broad, but philanthropy it was,
nevertheless. He wanted to be rich;
and he was. He wanted to be poor;
and he was. He wanted to do good;
and he did. His life, measured by its
purpose, was a success; and, after all,
it is what we are rather than what we
do that counts.

JOS. T. JOHNSON PLEADS IN VAIN.
Cutting OF Clerks Pay, House Cob.
bleS Big Slice.

Washington, May 3.-After cutting
the salaries of clerks and minor Of
ficials in the various departments of
the government, the house today, SO
to 4S, voted $216,O0O additional funds
to itself for Individual clerical assist
ance. In doing so the Democrats re-
fused to listen to the warnings and
pleas of Representative Johnson, of
South Carolina, in charge of the legis-
lative, executive and judicial appropri-
alton bill, and turned an equally deaf
ear to Representative Fitzgerald,
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee. Mr.. Johnson is chairman. OF
the subcommittee.
Another amendment by Representa-
tive Bartlett, of Georgia, Democrat,
making it compulsory to place the
names of all clerks or secretaries So
employed On a special roll of the
house. was adopted, rs to 90. This, he
said, would answer the accusation
that members were putting the clerk
hire in their own pockets. The house
also declined, by an overwhelming
majority, to cut down the mileage al
lowance to members. During a debate
on the economy program Representa-
tive Page, of North Carolina, introduce
ed an amendment to the pending leg
islative bill to reduce the mileage from
20 cents a mile to cents.
For Economy.
This measure was framed strictly
along the lines of the economy pol
icy,' which has been adopted by the
majority party in the house of repre-
sentatives- in the case of pen
sions. There are many items which
will attract attention and some which
may occasion surprise.
Of the economies effected, some are
of broad character, as in the aboli-
ton of the commerce court, and some
will be attacked as narrow, as in the
looping off of "two charwomen" in
the office of the auditor of the post
office department. Between these two
extremes the bill provides for many
changes of greater or less interest.
Reviewing the features of the bill IS a
whole they are found to be as follows:
Compared with the appropriations
foi the legislative, executive ard judi
.la'' departments for ths current fiscal
year ending June 80, 1912, the bill sub
mitted today totals $2,63S,O15 less. It
cuts the estimate submitted by the
heads of the respective departments to
the extent of $2,165,153. The reduc-
ton is chiefly accounted for by the
fact that in the present bill appro-
priation is made for 406 fewer than
the 1928 specific salaries provided
for by existing law. Altogether the
present bill appropriates S33,519,194.

opportunity to be alone with Ger
trude.
After being abused for three hours
because he insisted upon trumping
his partners ace, James retired, to be
awakened at dawn by a gentle knock
at his door.
Hurry, I'm all ready" called Ger.
trude.
James jumped helter-skelter into
his clothes and found Gertrude wait
ing for him. looking not quite as
pretty as she had in the favorable
gaslight.
After walking a couple of miles
James protested that he felt weary
and hungry.
There's an apple orchard about a
half-mile from here Well get some
apples" said Gertrude, for nothing
could deter her from continuing her
walk.
A very sober couple appeared on
the porch a few hours later. After
a hearty breakfast Gertrude begged
James to go fishing. He had to row
around the lake for the rest OF the
morning in the broiling sun and all
they caught were two small perch.
Some strenuous life" he com
mented as the boat neared the land
ing and he was becoming bored by
Gertrude's incessant talking of topics
which did not interest him.
These stunts are an everyday oc-
curence. Wouldn't you like to live
this simple life?" questioned Gertrude.
Not to my taste"
THE boys expect you to play in
their baseball game" Gertrude called
after James as he left her.

peared with her golf bag requesting
James to play with her. They chased
the ball around the links until 1t
started to pour. rain in torrents.
"Its pouring" cried James
ooh. we always play in the rain,
answered Gertrude.
Drenched to the skin they started
home.
whats the trouble with your face?
asked Gertrude.

"Tts swollen and has red patches
all over It. Maybe its poison ivy"
After consulting the village doctor
who informed him that he had most
likely touched some ivy in the woods
and had a bad case Of poisoning
James returned home on the next
train to remain in the house for a
week suffering intensely.
When James read of Gertrude's en-
gagement to Harold Lifton, champion
of the football players, he heaved q
sigh of relief.

capped in time. If l was 80 tired out

Formal application will be made at
the approaching session of the South
eastern Passenger association that is
to convene in New Orleans April 1917
for the granting of full tourist priv
ileges to Americas next winter, when
the annual migration of tourist flocks
begin.
AS conditions now exist, Americas
has only stop-over privileges accord
ed to tourists visiting in this section,
so that the full benefit of the best ac-
commodations to be offered by the
railroads are not appreciated. For
this reason the hope is entertained
here that the application for full pri-
vileges will be granted.

the Board of Trade, or of local in

BID FAREWELL
TO HARTMAN CO.

Many people from the army, navy
and social sets gathered at the Ha-

tend befitting farewell to the popu-
lar Ferris Hartman company They
didn't neglect to bring souvenirs Of
the islands, either, and there were
huge bouquets. ukuleles. boxes of
candy and Of course for the pretty
chorus girlies bits of ieWelry and a
large assortment of rings.
'"The Toymaker" was their final pro-
.duction and from the continued cur
tain calls one would conclude that the
audience was loath to have them go.
Arthur Fox, manager of the Orient
al theatrical company, Ferris Hart
man and w. Adams all expressed
themselves as more than pleased and
repaid for their efforts to entertain
the people of Honolulu Hartman
spoke of his engagement here as a
holiday and Fox said he felt encour-
aged to bring through another COM
pany, as their willing support proved
that theater-goers here appreciated
tngh-class productions. He concluded
by thanking all his patrons.
1t is rumored that the company will
return. in February and from the many
friends they have made during their
three weeks in the islands it is safe
to say they will be greeted with a
.rousing welcome.
