some time been in declining health,

DR., Launcelot Minor Blackford re-

Dr.. Blackford haI memorable ca
reer as an educator of boys. He was
born at Fredericksburg, Feb. %. 1897,
and received his education at private
| schools and at the University of Vir-
ginia. from which institution he re-
ceiyed the 6se:ee Of Mastar-rf, Arts
| in the year 1850. At the outbreak
| of the war between the states he en-
| listcA as private in the Rockbrldge
! artillery and saw four years of SER
vice under the Confederacy, ending
with the rank Of captain.
!! After teaching for five years fol-
i lowing the close of the war at the
| Norwoo!! School in Nelson county, he
came to the Episcopal High School,
where he saw constant service for
years. DR.. Blacllford devoted his life
to the instruction Of boys and their
! character building, and by his efforts
made the Episcopal High School Tn
foremost preparatory school in The
state. 1t was he who inaugurated tn
honor system at the school as far back
as 1870. In the year 1904 the degree
of LII. D., was conferred upon him
by Washington and Lee University.
While DR.. Blackford had Of course

While DR.. Blackford's labors were

school over which he had so long
presided, he ever played his part as
general educator, and communi'
cations from his pen often appeared
in the Gazette and were read with
i pleasure by thousands. His obser-
vations upon passing events were
always timely and practical.

This Sum Would Amount TO Fifteen

Oniv one week more and the. cam
paign for securing $4,000 for the
building fund of the Alexandria hos

every one who intends to contribute
to send in their subscriptions either
in cash or pledges as rapidly as pos
sible. The business men of our city
have for six weeks given their time
TO securing this fund anil while high
" gratifed with the results of the
amount received up to the present time
they hope that by the end of the next
week the deficiency will be made up.
The committee has asked council to
contribute $4,000 toward the building
fund, to be paid, $4,000 out Of this
wears funds and S2,5G0 out of next
years annual levy, for it is consider
ed that hospital is in need III every
up-to-tate city. Council represents
every one and could rot be called upon
to lead 4 more laudable undertaking.
The per capita tax for two years
would not exceed 15c for our people
an.i in measure it would identify
every city with the hospital. Our
report up to 10 A. NJ. today shows
S30,793.57 leaving only little more
than $4,000 to be secured. and if the
city makes the contribution requested,

@. Bond While Elliott may secure
the plum because of the governors
desire to smooth pathway" there
is every reason to hope staunch Re

favored candidate. He is straightfor-

will be found with his party always,
regardless. All the political prefer
ment in the world would not make his
any more the party man nor
less the man for self.
OF course Major Prott, of Charles

in the race and are to be figured with,
but the concensus of opinion is that
the race has narrowed down to Elliott
and Bond with the chances rather
favoring the latter.

FOUR LEAF CLOVER,

/ know place where the sun is like
gold,
And the cherry blooms burst. with
snow,
And down upderneath is the loveliest
nook
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for hope, and one is for
faith,
And one is for love, you know,
And God put another in for luck,
If you will search you will find
where they grow.
But you must have hope, you must
have faith,
You must love and be strong, and
If you work, if you wait, you will find
the place,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

THREE MULES KILLED.
Animals Fell From the c. n. & l..
Trestle.

Three mules wandering on the
tracks of the Columbia, Newberry &
Laurens railroad last night about 9
o'clock, met death at the c., N. G. l..
trestle near Columbia. For some dis
tance before the passenger train came
to the trestle the mules ran along in
front, but at the trestle one met death
by falling to the ground beneath,
while the dead bodies of the other two
clogged the tracks and so kept the
train from coming in to Columbia
When the passengers finally arrived
last night they were several hours be,
hind time. Many efforts were made
by the engine crew and others to en-
tice the mules off the beaten path of
the railroad but they proved in vain.
