q Richland, March IL Special:
Yesterday was one of the few pretty
Sundays we have had this year and
everybody enjoyed it.
Mrs. w. II. Hughs returned home
recently, after a week 3 visit to Mrs.
Ed. Bowen, Of Liberty.
Miss Mary Berry has returned from
her school near Easley.
Jas. Berry spent several days last
week with relatives in Greenville.
70. N. Foster has moved into the
WHY mouse, Just south Of the school
house.
Mr.. Editor: 1t has been our sturdy
purpose all along to advertise Rich
lands good qualities in every com
mendable way possible, and since we
have been convinced for some time
that we have had "sages" here. we
studied how to show them to the nub-
Tic. At last we hit upon the novel
plan OF giving one a little free nd
Tertisement, and felt sure another
could not stand 1t, but would imme-
diately advertise himself. So we wrote
up one, and hardly was the printer'a
Ink dry before the other had off his
hat. sitting under "Old Glory" with
Holy Writ, dictionary, literature and
rhetoric in hand. With great drons
or pearly sweat dripping from his
stately brow, with his diamond pen
IN one hand and his broom saga,
broom In the other he proceeds to
expand upon the other sage" and
sweeps about the door Of his neigh
Dor, while now and then he takes an
lnFlgorating draught OF Sage tea''
and is buoyed up by the aftor-effects
OF 'pone bread and fat back" Under
the strange spell Of this entrancinp
hallucination he writes a beautiful
eulogy upon the Sage Of Richland'
and his issue. All that Is just as we
anticipated. Since we named one
The Sage Of Richland' we will call
this other "The Sage Of Coneross," or
perhaps "The Broom-Sage Of Cone
ross We feel very much elated
that this great writer should Law
aside, for a short while, the great
political Issue he is so ably discuss,
ing In another paper and take notice
OF plain little country correspond
ent In his knee pants. When we are
bigger and older and wiser we NAV
try to match "The Sage Of Coneross''
In an eulogy, but we confess frankly
our inability at present. We will
say, however, may the broom sage"
continue to grow luxuriantly around
MS home; may no briars, cookie
burrs, wild onions or Bermuda grass
infest his soil; may the home grown
hog and hominy" supplant the "fat-
back sausage" from other clmes, and
may his fellow countrymen reduce
their cotton acreage and hold their
cotton off the market until he Is
forced to sell his cotton at Is cents
and may this enable him to boast a
rat bank account. May all this add
many years to his eventful life. Our
hat Is off to "The Sage Of Coneross.

KILLED SELF WITH SHOTGUN.
Mind Failing, Mrs. Mary league Ends
Life by Shooting.

Last Saturday morning about 1
o'clock Mrs. Mary league, wife OF
William league. committed suicide
at the homo Of j. D. Isbell. about
three miles west Of Walhalla, by
shooting herself with shotgun.
Mrs. league had for some time
shown signs OF weakening mentally,
but there had been no evidence Of a
tendency toward violence either to
herself or toward others, and hopes
were entertained that she would soon
be restored to health.
During Friday night, however, her
husband noticed a marked change in
her condition. About II o'clock he
woke to find her with a shotgun in
her hands. Taking this from her, un-
loading the weapon and locking up
the shells, he ,quieted her. and worn
with constant watching and care, lie
lay down on the bed and fell asleep,
with the gun placed under his feet,
thinking that If she endeavored
again to secure the weapon he would
be awakened. This was not the case,
however. With unusual cunning the
unfortunate woman managed to sliD
the gun from the bed without dis
turbing her husband, secured the
keys to the drawer where the shells
had been locked, loaded the gun and
shot herself She had dressed her
self, putting on several dresses, one
over the other, tearing them open in
front at the breast. The horrifying
report Of a gun awakened Mr..
league, and he found his wife lying
IN dying condition in the room. She
had removed her shoe and stocking
from her right foot, having pulled
the trigger Of the gun with her toe.
Recently Mr. and Mrs league had
contracted with J. D. Isbell to work
for him on his farm and about the
home, and they were occupying a
room in his house. This arrange
ment was made because Of Mr. Is-
bells frequent absence from home on
business for the Cconee Mutual In
surance Association. At the time Of
the occurrence Mr. Isbell vas alb
sent from home.
Mrs. league was about ~ years Of
age. G2

 TAFT'S POSTAL ORDER
Democrats Declare Ciiil service RU!-
 nis is Damasirgi' Partisan and Stesped in Political Bye

Washington, Nov. 29-ThW an of-
 fort will be made to suspend Prasi- dent Taft's executive order of Oeto- Der 15, through which aA0ut 2G,0O0

 Tennessee said the Democrats H Con gress who ate already in WHs1in gtou have conferred informally on the subject, and that there WAS 9n oNer= whelming sentiment in faEor of hay ing the order revoked.
 Representative Hull said President
 elect Wilson, under the civil service law, would have the power to revoke
 President Taft's Grder. He cited as q
 precedent Presidents Harrison sUs-
 pension of an order of President Cleveland issued January II, 1889,

 auguration, suspended that orGer. Coming at the time and under the circumstances that it did, said Mir. Hull, this order of the president is patGntly steeped in the deepest politi- cal dye and constitutes within itself q
 gross violation of the letter. the spirit and law, and because it places this
 immense horde of Republicans-to the exclusions Of Democrats -permanent- ly in office without examination or test as to merit Or efficiency.
 If carried out. this order will
 make honest civil service farce and
 prove the greatest setback to it's ad-

tune of 7S to 0; Little Rock came Portland losing by the score of 3S to 0; Hot Springs lost to Bassett's men by the score of 13 to o, and last Thursday the Pine Bluff team put Camden ct of the running, 50 to 0. N Fordyce held the locals to only points while they scored g. but when victory looked good for Pine Bluff Coach Harrison, of Fordyce, took his men off the field, claiming a bad de- cision as the cause. The Fordyce team is not eligible because three men were disqualified by the State athletic committee. The substitutes of the local squad were sent to Stuttgart and barely defeated the rice city boys by a score of 13 to 12, but neither that team nor Fordyce have lookin on the championship.
 Thus Pine Bluff has more founda- tion for her claim to the football cup than the other contenders, even if Fort Smith and Van Buren have not been beaten. However the state committee may not consider the num- Der of victories won by the aspirants but whether or not any have been de- feated and if the two northwestern teams have clean record they have as much claim, technically, on the state championship as Pine Bluff
 The committee is to meet Monday at Little Rock to decide tho matter but it is probable that Bassett's ac- ticn in challenging Fort Smith will cause the committee to keep hands off until after the game between the two teams and award the cup to tEe win ner.
 Interest in football was never greater ir this city than at present. The highest pitch was reached yester- day when George H. Adams, business manager of the Graphic, and an ar dent gridiron fan, assured Coach Bas- sett that the Graphic would guarantee the expense of the Fort Smith team if the game is played here. And u was after this encouragement had beep assured the coach that he hurl- ed the challenge to the border city team.
