V Though it is now Congress- g man Hobson, it should not be i forgotten that it was once Hobson, f( the soldier, and one of the very L bravest that the world ever knew. I A. C. Jones of Newberry has 'r fully met the expectations of T every one and withrawn from the a gubernatorial race. Good for Jones and the people. r It makes no difference how il big a fool thing a man may start; t if for any reason he comes to his I: senses and pulls out, he at least h deserves credit for that much. C So Father Sherman is to be com mended for discontinuing his e march to the sea in the tracks of M his father. 0 If the United States senate roves itself as much in favor of I enaturalized alcohol as the senate of South Carolina has a proven itself in favor of the natural stuff in its various forms, i then there is great hope of cheaper j fuel and close competition for 1 the Standard Oil Company. d Fairfield folks will be at the reunion in Columbia next week in full force. They just can't belp going to the Capital city on these special occasions, and they 3 are pretty good at it at other C times too, for there are so many I Fairfield people in Columbia, 3 though not more than in Fairfield 3 as it is sometimes expressed. 3 To-night and to-morrow Winn- c sboro will have as her guests the 3 veterans of Fairfield county. 1 This community counts it no small privilege thus to have an V opportunity of honoring these a old heroes, who fought so val- h iantly upon the field of battle c and have fought no less brave s fight in redeeming their state c politically and -industrially. Durig their brief stay in ourt midst the town belongs to them. The town officials and the va rious committees will count it a favor for them to make their a wants known so that their stay may be made as pleasant as a posible. Not all of them can bhere. Would that they could- C Bul a few have already notified y the committee that on account h of the infirmities of age they will g be detained at home. These few I we can not welcome in person, 'y but they may rest assured that si at their homes they will not be d forgotten by their old comrades, a who are more fortunate and that j in every heart their will beat a c feeling of sympathy and there d will go up from all the prayer that their remaining days may d be days of peace. Present or ab et the veteran is not forgotten. c The Cross of Honor that will be a pizaned upnn those -who are pres- i ent by the daughters of their comrades and will be sent to the s absent ones to be pinned an, per- t, haps by her who has bein his stay upon the field of activities 53 and ministered to him in the 5 time of sickness, will be remind ers to their sons and to their0 daughters that they were fol lowers of Lee and of Jackson, t' of Hampton and of Butler, of 7 Bratton ~and of;Rios, and that as such no honor is too great for them while living and that when i they have crossed over the river their brave deeds will yet linger with us as a priceless heritage.

Dr. 5. R. Preston, whao has all the vhile been its president, handed A n his resignation, which was tecepted and the board at once lected Rev. S. C. Byrd as his Sc luccessor. Mr. Byrd has fo; several years >een the pastor of the Sion Pres )yterian church in Winnsboro, M luring which time the church se 2as prospered greatly. His W many friends here in all the L :hurches greatly regret that his ci eceptance of this work necessi- ai ;ates his removal from Winn- th PC iboro. His pastorate of this ef :hurch will cease as soon as the w )resbytery can act on his resig- t iation. tb Mr. Byrd was the logical man at or this work, as he has been rery closely identified with all he educational movements of iis church. He is at present >resident or the Board of Control >f Associated Schools and Col eges of the Synod of South Car >lina, and also vice-president of ' he Board of Trustees of the it ?resbyterian College of South~ W Jarolina at Clinton. tc Mrs. Byrd too will prove a p raluable acquisiton to the college. b Ls she tpught several years in the ce Presbyterian College for Women eC n Columbia, and is thoroughly a: n touch with the needs of female i ducation.
