A Family Reunion. To the Elitor of the Di*patcb: Oq Sunday, March 19th, 1904, I bad the pleasure of attending the birthday dinner cf Mrs. E. C. Hallman, (widow of the late Davis Hallman) at the old home place. The event was the celebration of Mrs. Hallman'* 62 birtoday The entire family being pre** m on this occasion not only added to ihe pleasure of mother, but to all who were present? both brothers, sisters and friends. It was indeed a pleasure to be with this large family, and see the fcindness of the mother for the eaildren and in turn the children for the onrt kindness motner. uu*y mo -? shown at this reunion add another ray of sunlight on our live9 to help us remove from our minds and hearts the many disappointments that we so often meet with while passing through life's dusty way. Another feature that added to the pleasures of the day was the music, both striDg and instrumental, which was rendered in a very pleasant way by her sons, grand8008 and many granddaughters. The sweet chords of the music was not only pleasing to the ear, but caused us it think of him who gives to all every good and perfect gift, how thank 'ul we should he to him for his kindness. Mrs. Hallman is the mother of . twelve liviDg childret; grandmother v> ? of 51, and great grandmother of 1. Of these three of her granddaughters have recently launched out on life's matrimonial sea, and have taken upon themselves the cares that pertain to their future happiness. -We wish them success and a bright and prosperous future. While it was indeed a pleasure for her to have her children, grandchildren and great grand-child gather around her it can be said that the greatest pleasure to her was the presence of her mother, Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith is near, if not past the mile post of fourscore years. Truly she has kept the fourth commandment. 5 I Now all of us uaing filled with the | pleasures that satisfies the mind there was yet one thing lacking to complete the enjoyment of the day.

Washington Post Representative Lever, of South Carolina, received word yesterday that the first Parker club has been in Viih Vinmft countv of yigc.u.?v? ? LexiDgton. Mr. Lever has been very anxious that th-3 conservative element of the South Carolina Democracy should control the election of delegates to the St. Louis convention, and he expressed himself as very much gratified that the Parker movement should first take tangible shape in his home county, which is just across the river from the State capital. A few days ago Mr. Lever gave out an interview on the possibility that the south might, present a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, and he was quoted as having said that Senator Bailey and Judge Emory Speer, of Georgia, were stroDg men, either of whom would make an acceptable candidate. Mr. Lever intended to say that either Senator Bailey or John Sharpe Williams, the minority leader in the bouse, would make a strong candidate. Good for Children.

Among the decisions filed by the State Supreme Court last week there was one of decided general importance. It came up from Beaufort in connection with the Bank of Beaufort, which wasOowned by the late Mr. Lockwood. The bank failed, and then a contest for the deposits began. H Q Davis, county treasurer, had $4,1ST 39 on deposit, and George Gag<s city clerk, had 81,351 77 on band. These two officers claim that, the funds they had on band in the bank were public funds, and therefore entitled to preference. T^e Supreme Court holds that the funds clearly belonged to the county apd city as indicated by the deposits, and that they are entitled to preference under the statute law of the State. Tae opinion of tbe Court was prepared by Associate Justice Gary. ? - A Great Sensation. There was a big sensation in Leesville, lad, when W. H.
