HON. J. A. HUNTER DEAD.
Died at Johns Hopkins Hospital in
Baltimore Saturday.

The many friends in Bamberg
county of Hon. J. Acquilla Hunter
were saddened Saturday morning by
the news of his death in Baltimore.
MIR. Hunter was stricken with a Sc
rious illness some weeks ago, and
gradually grew worse until on last
Wednesday his family and physicians
decided to send him to the Johns
Hopkins hospital, in Baltimore, for
treatment in the hopes Of a recovery.
His death was announced in tele-
gram from Dr.. J. J. Clecliley, who
accompanied Mr.. Hunter, on Satur-
day morning, only short time after
his arrival at the hospital.
The remains were brought to Bam-
berg Sunday afternoon from Baltl-
more, and were inferred here Mon
day at noon. Rev. w. R. Mcmillan,
pastor of the Baptist church, conduct
ed the funeral services at the resi-
dence of Mrs. NJ. l.. Johns. The re-
mains were buried with Masonic
honors, Mr.. Hunter being promi-
nent member Of that order. The pail
bearers were: DR.. c. F. Black,
Messrs C. R. Gillian, T. ]. Cook, La
Verne Thomas, J. A. Wyman and c.
W. Rentz.
Hon. J. A. Hunter was one Of Bam-
berg's foremost citizens, a leading
member of the Baptist church, a
member of the State legislature, and
prominent hardware dealer in this
city. He was educated at Fufman
university, graduating with the class
of 1900. He taught school success
fully for several sessions, and then
entered the hardware business in
Bamberg, doing a large and success
full business. He was twice elected
to the lower house of representatives
from this county, being a member at
the time of his death, his term ex-
piring with the convening of the next
legislature. During the last session
he was q member and secretary OF
the State asylum investigation com
mittee, making himself prominent
near and far by his valiant defense
of DR.. Elenora Saunders while on this
committee. Last Summer Mr.. Hun
ter made a race in the primary fol
lieutenant governor and received a
very flattering vote He was promi'
nent in church affairs, and served
for several years as superintendent
Of the Sunday-school. Mr.. Hunter
was in the prime of life, being only
43 years of age, at the time Of his
death. About eight months ago, Mr.
Hunter was happily married to Miss
Gladys Johns, daughter of Mr.. W. l.
Johns, of Baldock, who survives him
Mr.. Hunter was the son of Ex-Sherif
J. B. Hunter, who, with several
brothers and sisters; also survive
him. Mr.. Hunter was a man o1
strong character and convictions, and

shock

At the Close of the Century.

This nation increases in population
20 per cent. every ten years, says the
Ohio State Journal. That will give US
a population of 500,000,000 at the
close of the century. There is many
a baby now born that will see that
day. What a great privilege it will
be. We would like to be there, but
no use talking about that. We would
like to see what becomes Of politics
and if there are any parties then. 1t
will be interesting to know what
form religion will take and what de-
nominations will drop out. What
will become of the theatres and pic
ture shows, and will we have any
vaudeville and ragtime music then
Wonder what a man must have to
be a rich man then, or will there be
no wealth? Will everybody have an
automobile then, or will nobody have
any? Will people smoke cigars and
cigarettes then, or will the habit so
increase that the women will smoke!
What will it be, universal prohibition
or universal license, or universal TO-
tai abstinence? Will a man hold a
local office because he is Republican
or Democrat? Will We still be giving
tips to porters and walters? Will
the people be writing anonymous let
ters to the editor, giving him fits, or
will they all be dead? Where, y
where, will the tango be then? Will
any notes become due then, or Will
debt decay? Will the trolley straps
serve as many hangers as they do
now? Will the motorcycle stay that
long? Will everybody be kind, agree
able and helpful to one another When
they get to be a half billion?
These are the questions many OF
the infants of today will answer. we
wish we were one of them, but no.;
we let that pass.

AND WHERE Is TIPPERARY.
British War Song Sung With Consid-
cradle Swing.

It's a long way to Tipperary." ."
You have seen the expression many
time since the European war be-
gan, but perhaps you do not know
just what it means. Where is Tip
perary, anyway? A recent issue of
the Literary Digest gave interesting
facts about the song, informing us
that the place is in Ireland A few
quotations from the publication nam
ed will be interesting:
Everybody knows that when the
British soldier sings of Tipperary
the last place he thinks of is some
place so named in Ireland. He is
thinking of home. What is there in
Tipperary that gets the song swing?
Is it not the reflection of national
character? Is, it not just the gaiety
which takes the fighting as the day g
work? and which looks beyond the
days work to the reward? A writer
in the New York Sun says: 1t has
all the requisites of an immortal wal
song-a free and swinging tilt, a
touch of humor, of sentiment and a
dash of rough and ready patriotism.
Their. is something peculiarly appro-
pirate about the tune. The French
have had it translated and are sing
ing it as they go to battle. Scotch
Highlanders, who probably never
heard Of Ireland's Tipperary, are
playing it on their bagpipes. Cana
dian reservists, lonesome for the
western forests, are humming It. And
native Bengalese are grooming the lit
tie song through their very white
teeth as they shiver through the chill
ly nights and wipe their bayonets
dry
The words to the song the allies
are singing are as follows:
It's Long, Long Way to Hpperary.
Up to mighty London came an Irish
man one day,
AS the streets are paved with gold
sure ev'ryone was gay;
Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand
and Leicester Square,
Till Paddy got excited, then he
shouted to them there:-

slaughter pen IN europe. While
Germany is engaged is death grip
struggle for existence as a nation,
we must admit that she is justified
in using any and all legitimate
means to prevent the armament of
her enemies; and we also mus, take
into consideration the fact that no
vessel sailing under neutral flag,
has any right to carry the means
by which either of the powers en-
gagged in war will be weakened by
the slaughter of men on the battle
fields. The President is facing
delicate and perplexing situation
and is entitled to the confidence
and moral support of the Ameri-
can people, which we are confident
will not be withheld from him.

take money, which the Commission
is preparing to demand from Con-
gress. 1t will also make Jobs for
deserving Democrats. Whether

Wars and Their Causes.

While William ] /. Bryan is car
vorting around with a halo of peace
above his head, preaching peace at
any expense, Roosevelt is around
yelling for war regardless of cause
or consequence. The writer is OPP
posed to war and favorS peace,
but appreciates the fact, that there
are defensive and aggressive wars.
Should our country be invaded by
a foreign army, influenced by mer-
cenary motives, it would be the du-
ty of every loyal citizen to take up
arms in defense of the country, but
opposes first, last and all the time
any war having for its purpose the
acquiring of territory or the ad-
vantages of commerciallsm tor the
benefit of the capitalistic class.
During the one hundred and thirty
nine years of the existence OF our
republic, there has been, practi-
cally but one war of aggression,
and that was the Mexican war, the
object being to secure territory tor
the extension of slavery, which was
brought about by southern slave
owners during a democratic ad-
ministration. That war has always
been a stain upon our flag and civil
lization, for it was a case OF a
strong republic making war on a
weak republic already torn by des-
sention and unable to cope with It's
stronger neighbor. Our late Span
ish- American war was brought In
the interest of humanity to free a
people from q yoke of oppression
and while victorious, territory was
acquired by purchase which IS a
menace to the United States and
NAV at no distant day, involve US
in costly war with the Aslatic ma
tons, which should be avoided
while we yet have time.

For years, Clark Howell, editor
OF the Atlanta Constitution, had
been a great admirer of William
j. Bryan. A change has taken
place in his ideas of the peerless
leader for he now refers to him
as the peerless bleater, and
yet he is the same Bryan he was
years ago, advocating nonsensical
political propositions, which the
voters repudiated with a regularity
that should have convinced Bryan
that his ideas were not acceptable
to the thinking people of this coun-
try.

From the White House point of
view the course of the Ship ofsState
is straight ahead, and the shadows
and danger points have been plain
ly charted. But there is a year
1915" coming. No one longer
expects that Colonel Bryan will
support President Wilson for a re-
nomination, as he is positively on
record opposing a second term, and
the reasons why he might muzzle
his convictions on that score have
passed. A good n...ny Washing
tonians assert that what Bryan has
lost because of his advocacy of
prohibition, he has gained by his
support of the things that are SO
dear to large part of the country;
namely arbitration and peace. In
any event, Bryan, as Secretary of
State, and reported failure, is no
longer mentioned. The politicians
assert confidently that he has the
future OF his party in his keeping.
Even those who profess to doubt
this statement are anxiously won
dering what is going to happen
when the struggle is staged be-
tween the Wilson and Bryan for
ceS.

The people of Canada are said,

why? Since then the Underwood

tuners even more concessions than
Mr.. Taft offered-and without a
single concession on the part of
Canada. Taft wanted Canada to

us pay for unlimited Canadian &C
