Senator Latimer is planning,
it if stated, to make a tour of
*he western and southwestern
states in the inteiest of his good
7oads scheme. He will start
west, about the first of January.
South Carolina's junior Renator
is certainly to be commended for
bis persistence.
ll is surmised that the Southern
and othqr railroad systems

r? m nHiuw i no ruceiit example
of the Pennsylvania road in cutting
off free passes. The idea is
* good one, and we should like to
vae it generally carried out. Let
every man who rides on a rail
road pay his way.
In the death of Representative
Altamont Moses, which occurred
at his home in Sumter last Friday,
South Carolina loses one ol
its best and most experienced
legislators. Mr. Moses was a
4nntl of Vliffh irtonlc Vkrr?a/1-*Tr?ir?/S
ed, conservative and honorable,
and his experience in the legislature,
extending over a period
et about twenty years, made his
services invaluable to the com
anon wealth.
According to one or the news
paper correspondents in Washington,
Congressman Aiken ol
South Carolina is wearing a suit
during the present session that is
. attracting much attention. ti i*
n
a home-made jeans suit, and the
f.loth was woven by an old lady
friend of the Congressman living
in Oconee Count v. "Every
thread of it,'' Mr. Aiken is credited
with saving, "was woven on j
an old-fashioned weaving *pa
chine" Speaker Cannon, amonjt
others, is said to I3-3 "stuck" on |
the suit, and wants to j^et one I

' The Washington correspond
ent of tho Atlanta Journal suys
that Senator Tillman ''hurled
his pitchfork into the insurance
scandal7' when he spoke to his
resolutions demanding inquiry
?r to whether National hanks
contribute to campaign lunds.
It the Senator succeeds in going
to the bottom of the "insurance
scandal" he will have accorn
plished what no one has yet
done.
An interesting incident at. the
meeting of 1 lie Masonic Grand
Lodge in Charleston this week
will he tlio formal presentation
to that ancient and honorable
body of the handsome, life-like
portrait of the late lamented
Capt. B J. Witherspoon ot Lancaster,
which was painted some
months ago by a Charleston artist,
Mr. John Stolle. The pre.
sentation will be made by Past

====:===:
THE REV. R. E. TURNIPSEED.
We are confident that it is the
unanimous wish of the people of
Lancaster, irrespective of de
nominational lines, that the Rev.
R. E. Turnipeeed be returned to
the pastorate of the Methonist
[church here, by the Annual Con
ference which meets in Spartanburg
this week. Mr. Turnip
seeu, wno came to i^ancaster a
year ago, has endeared himself
not only to the members of hie
own congregation but to the entire
community aR well, by his
uniform affability, magnetic per
souality, broad-gauge liberality
and last, but by no means least,
by his effective work in aiding to
advance and promote the moral
and religious influences of the
tiwn.
A8 a preacher Mr. Turnipseed
ranks with the best. He is a
man of originality, progressive
ideas, a logical reasoner, and is
gifted with the power 01 forceful
utterance.
It would, indeed, be truly un
fortunate, both for the Methodist
church and the community generally,
were the Conference in
its wisdom to see fit to transfer
Mr. Turnipseed to another field
of labor.
RAISING MONEY FOR THE COTTON
ASSOCIATION
in muiir* iiicHinieH mercnantR
and bankers siro being appealed
to to make contributions to the
tunds of the Cotton Growers'
Association, and such appeals
are meeting with liberal rcspon
m s 'l|ho business men of (he
country realize the fact that the
fight ol the farmers for remunerafive
pr:c *s is their fight also?
that the general wellare of the
entire South is dependent upon
the success of th" movement in
Mir* ted by 'he agricultural!
lasses. , |
J-Jul I lie farmers are by no
in";iriM depending altogether on
on! ide help. Wliilo they appreciate
what ill'? merchants an'1
hankers ar : doing lor them, they
have begun wort* in earnest to
help themselves. They are, for .
instance, responding almost to a
man to the assessment, by the
Association ot three cents a bile.
One of the collectors in this
county informed us a day or two
n irrv n it 1 rtno n r? t ?*r /t <t?, n
ci^v; iiiuv \/iii * uiio vi i vv v |/ciAUiin
of the many approached by him
had declined to pay the assessment.
This is indeed a good
showing It speaks well for the de
termination of the farmers to give
their orgauizttim the financia1
support that it, needs and must
have. They evidently appreciue
the fact that it, takes money to
successfully mat aire and promo
te all undertakings, whether public
or private.
Cow Falls in Well and Then
I Kicks the Walls Down.
Mr. L?\vis Robertson living
I
on the Massey or Stevens plnce
several miles north ot Lancaster,
loRt a cow in a singular manner
a few days ago. The animal
fell into a well on the nremises.
and while some hands were try- j
ing to draw her up she kicked no
vigorously that the well caved
in on, her completely covering
her up with earth and stones and
killing her instantly.
Mrs. Mary Rogers, the Vermont
woman convicted of tin
murder ot her husband, was
hanged last Fiiday. She went
to the gallows without any show
of fear or nervousness.
