NOTED ENATOR IS DEAD.
w. Is. Hepburn, Of Idaho, Known as
the Foe Of the South.

Washington, Oct. II. - United
States Senator Weldon Brinton Hey
burn, Of Idaho, died at his apart
ments here tonight, after a lingering
illness. He vas 60 years old, and
had been in the Senate nine years.
A complication of diseases involv-
ing the hear and kidneys caused the
Senator's death. He had not been
we'll since last March, when he col
lapsed after delivering a speech in
the Senate on the arbitration treaties,
in spite Of doctors warnings that the
effort might cost him his life. Seve-
raj weeks ago, apparently gaining
strength after a serious relapse, the
Senator and Mrs. Hepburn made pre-
parations for a trip West. Another
relapse, however, prevented them,
and since then the patient had been
growing steadily weaker. To-day the
doctors thought he was slightly i'm
proved, but death came suddenly a
few minutes before 8 o'clock to-
night.
Senator Hepburn a born in Del
aware, May 90, 1852, his parents be-
ing Quakers Of English descent. AZ
ter being admitted 10 the bar in 1876
he practiced law continuously until
he entered the Senate. He married
Miss Gherten Yeatman, who survives
him. They had no children.
In 1888 the Senator moved to Sho-
shone, Idaho, which had been his
home ever since. He was a member
of the Idaho Constitutional Conven-
ton and had served as delegate to
the National Republican Convention
and as Republican National Commit
teeman. January 13, 1908, he was
elected to the Senate, and in January,
1909, was unanimously reelected to
serve until 1915.
One of the staunchest of the regu-
lar Republicans, Senator Hepburn
had for years been a conspicuous fig
ure in the Senate. He was most
widely known, perhaps, for his un-
dying bitterness towards the South
and frequent denunciations Of South
ern var leaders.

THE KEoWEE GRADED SCHOOL.
Cornerstone Laying on October 9Th
Was Great Occasion.

Tuesday, October Sth, was a great
day for the people Of Keowee School
District and surrounding community,
the occasion being the laying Of the
4 cornerstone of the Keowee Graded
School building and an educational
rally
The day was an ideal one. The
large crowd present was in the best
of spirits, and the day passed as one
Of the most pleasant e spent by
the people Of the New Hope and Wolf
Stake sections. The only disappoint-
ment of the day was the absence of
the music.
The exercises Of the day we're
opened with prayer by Rev. ID. w.
Hot, Of Easley, after which our STU
p"erlntendent Of Education, Wade c..
Hughs, who is always entertaining,
= spoke and was at his best on this oc-
casion. He made the address of well
come, and also related a few facts
pertaining to the progress made along
the line Of education during his adj
m~inistration.
Mr.. Hughs, being master Of cere-
monies for the day, introduced II. A.
y Gentry, Of Easley, who, in his mod
est, pleasing manner, and with a few
well chosen words, responded.
Owing to Prof. w. X. Tate being
compelled to cancel his engagement
with us, his place was we'll filed by
Prof. w. w. West, of Clemson Col
lege, who delivered an interesting
address on rural school improve
ment.
Rev. j. e. Grim, Of Liberty, was
the next speaker introduced, and his
speech, too, was a masterpiece, being
entirely educational.
Rev. d. w. Hiott, of Easley, the
last (but by no means the least)
speaker Of the morning program, was
next introduced. His speech was on
Education and Woodcraft'' com
bined, and vas full Of wit and HUI
NOR. 1t IA very much enjoyed by
the young n older people.
Then the exercises were turned
over to the ladies for one hour, and
1t was soon learned hat they had not
failed In their part, for the dinner
they had prepared was not lacking in
either quality or quantity"
After an hour Of feasting and So
cial conversation the exercises were
concluded by the laying Of the corner
stone by the Woodmen Of the World.
with appropriate ceremony, followed
by an Grafton by Rev. D. w. Hiott.
His address closed the days cere-
monies, and 1t was indeed a fitting
and most appropriate climax to this
delightful occasion, which may we'll
be said to mark an epoch in the his
tory OF our community. l. x. l..

ALL SYMPATHY FOR ROOSEVELT
D~cprccatcS Use of Violence to Inter-
rupt Course of Politics.

Wilmington, Del, Oct. 17.-"My
thought Is constantly of that gallant
gentleman lying in the hospital at
Chicago"
With this sentiment running
through his speeches., Governor
Woodrow Wilson toured Delaware
to-day, deploring the assault on Col.
Roosevelt and deprecating the use of
violence to interrupt the course of
politics. The Democratic nominee
devoted his argument mostly to State
issues in Delaware. He omitted men,
ton or the Progressive Party, and
when he discussed national questions,
attacking the administration Of Pres
ident Taft, declared there was pros
perity enough for those at the top,
but that 1t had not "~percolated
through to the rank and file Of the
people,"
The Governor made four speeches,
appeared before cheering throngs in
nearly q dozen towns and closed the
day with a big street parade and
meeting at Wilmington tonight.

At the last meeting the Leonard Hall
boys discussed the following subject,
"Resolve that it is greater misfor-
tune to be bird than to be deaf and
dumb.n
The speakers representing the differ
emit sides we're as follows, Messrs. G.
C. Burch and J. W. Muliigan affirma-
tive, with Messrs- J. P Lynch and J.
B. Goodwin negative The affirmative
were very impressive in their argument
for they succeeded ii winning the unsni-
nous opinion Of the judges. In their
argument they showed that blind man
bad to be lead like baby. whereas a
deaf and dumb person could 60 any
where he wished. They further stated
that the greater portion of mans learn
ing comes though the sense of sight,
therefore blindness is worse than to be
deaf and dumb and they said that deaf
and dumb people can be good athletics
and some of them are good ball players.
Gallaudet College at Washington is an
example
1t was said that viper gives no
warning, neither does the pitfail or the
stumbling stone, therefore IA man needs
his eyes always, and man cannot see
the beauties of nature without his
eyes. We have such yearning to the
faces Of a mother or father. How
dreadful it must be to be blind and not
to see the dear onss we love
The negative in trying to prove that
blindness is not worse, contrastedman
with the brute. for one of the distinc-
tions between man and brute is the
power OF speech. They also stated
that some of the greatest musicians
and artist have been blind. They fur
ther stated that people put themselves
to greet inconvenience to hear great
speaker, whereas she deaf and dumb
man is deprived of this pleasure.
