COL. D. A. OICKERI
GIVES AN INTERVIEW
TELLS ABOUT THE MANAGEMENT
OF CONFEDERATE HOME.
If the Meeting of the Board Was
Stormy He Was Not Responsible.
Stands by His Action.

Meeting Col. Dickert Saturday, the
reporter Of The Herald and News ask
ed him to tell about the row they had
at the meeting Of the board of COM
missioners of the Old Soldiers Home.
There was no row, as I saw it; all
a tempest in teapot"

CAS- Mark Anthony said, they are
all honorable men, and had Todd in

I had been drunk as he says, Todd
would have had more interesting
and amusing story to tell to the pa

Welch," was asked.

"It seems then as if it was only with
Todd you could not agree?"
Laying his hand upon the reporters
shoulder, Col. Dickert said: stop
right there. Todd is genius; one in
whom Nature has been lavish. When

him for smooth, graceful, confidence

He is a polished tactician, and while
he may not have succeeded in bunco-
ing the State legislature out of S13,-

get it yet. 1t may be possible he has
ideas of running it off at bargain

tactful. Now, where is there another
man who would have been so soiicl-
tous and thoughtful of other peo-
pies feelings as he was in mine? How
kind and generous it was Of him too,
to wait until was hundred miles
away before he issued that proclama-
tion to the State of South Carolina,

pie about it." 1t has been suggested
here by some that Senator Tillman
had a little too much turn in South
Carolina politics last summer for his
own good, and that probably it would
be best for the senator if he should
spend his remaining days quietly, so
far as South Carolina politics is con-
cerned.

be best for the senator if he should
spend his remaining days quietly, so
far as South Carolina politics is con-
cerned.
A visit to NewDerry one day last
week impresses upon one that Cover
nor Blease has hit the nail squarely
on the head when he says that the
greatest good which could come to
Newberry would be for the people of
Newberry to get closer together, and
for Newberrians to quit knocking" ]"
BY the way, there seems to be a
good deal of talk among Newberrians
as to an election on voting the dis
pensary back into the county.
1t is pointed out that the voting
out of the dispensary has not given
prohibition in Newberry by any means,
and two arguments are advanced by
the advocates on an election on the
question-it is contended that the
cause of temperance has not been
helped by putting out the dispensary,
but that the principal effect has bean
to take money out OF the county.
There would, probably, however, be
strenuous opposition to an election
and to voting the dispensary back in.
1t seems that no election can be held,
anyway, until next year.
Mrs. NJ. B. Evans is still boosting
Newberry in and with her ladies rest
room" Mrs. Evans is tireless
worker, and has made her rest room
known throughout the State.
If all the candidates who have an
nounced, who are urged" and who
are spoken of" should run for gov
ernor next summer, there would be
a good long list of candidates. The
announcements and the accompanying
speculation seem to be little earlier
than usual, but when the first an
nouncement came others who were
figuring on making the race for gov
ernor seemed disposed to want to get
their claims before the people early,
also. During the closing days Of the
legislature the definite announcements
came thick and fast, and sine then
there has been no lack of other gen.
tlemen mentioned.
The next race for the United States
senate has been claiming good deal
of attention for some time because 1t
has been definitely known that Gov
ernor Blease would be candidate for
the senate. In an interview publish
ed in a Northern paper some time ago
he announced his platform as the
State and national Democratic plat
form, and this he reiterated in an in
terview in The Herald and News last
week. That is as far as the governor
has made any statements in regard TO
his campaign.
Of course it is expected that Sena-
tor Smith will be candidate for re-
election.
There have been no other positive
announcements in regard to this racs,
but several who have been mention
ed" have disclaimed an intention OF
being in the race.

Then I'll send you in my resigna-

Bransforth certainly treated him
very fairly He gave him two months
salary and a cordial letter expressing
his keen regrets at their separation.
Only positions such as Howard had
filed, in chemical house which spe-
cialzed on one or two articles Of
production, were almost impossible
to secure. And Howard and Luella
were to have been married that May.
Never mind, dear. You will get
better position than before" Luella
said consolingly.
Her fiance kissed her, but he knew
the awful difficulty of the task before
him. He. had been getting forty dol
lars a week, and the. position had
seemed so permanent that he had
lived fairly well instead of trying to
save money. He had only three hun
bred in the bank, for their first sup
ply of furniture. And this was melt
ing during the hot, dull summer
months, when nothing could be OBJ
tanned, with fearful rapidity
July passed and August was half
way through, and the three hundred
dollars was reduced to half that
amount. Luella was always comfort
ing; but she would weep secretly
after Howard was gone. The cease
less tramp, tramp through the hot
streets, with the constant rejection
everywhere, wore on the young fell
lows nerves. He hardly dared to see
Luella now.
