II. L.. HARDIN.

In the death of Senator p. L..
Hardin, not only has Chester coun-
ty, but the state of South Carolina,
as we'll, lost one OF Ler nob!.,t and
best citizens. Senator Hardin had
been in active public life for nearly
a quarter of century. He 3erced
eight years in the lower house Of
the legislature and .wnlve Years as
senator from Chester county in the
upper house. He made his impress
upon every one with whom he came in
contact. Broad minded and corscr-
vative he generally sized up meu and
measures according to their true
value. But it was in 1890. when a
member of the house of representa-
tives, that he showed the stuff out
of which he was made. He was the
man who in the joint assembly put
in nomination grand old Wade
Hampton for reelection to the
United States senate and stood with
the small minority that went down
With Hampton to defeat The CO.
lumbia State. in commenting o nthis
incident in his life we'll SAYS: The
memory of that incident Is a Legacy
that ell his kindred viii cherish
while their generations come and
go"

world is filled with hogs-the kind
that go on two legs. They are possi-
