Wednesday, April 10.1912 Underwood in the Running,, It seems, after all, that Chairman Un derwood, southerner though he be, Is in the running for the presidency, Unques tionably the southern vote will control the nomination and it seems that Underwood will be backed by a good slioe of that vote. And this is not all. Wherever primaries have been held in northern and western States Underwood is recognised as a fac tor. In the qualities that go to make a wise, just and conservative president, Under wood has no superior in the democratic party. He is even tempered, thoughtful, logical and above all things possessed of a long record in national politics that is ab solutely unstained. While he'.tjj anything but radical, all of his acts as democratic leader have been to try to carry out the spirit of the democratic platform; and un questionably the present strength of the party is due, in large measure, to his lead ership. /Underwood has the fullest confidence, in fact, the warmest esteem of his collea gues in Congress. It is safe to say that Ka ia nfmlfK aa a mKaIa fkan ug ao ovivu&r?! niwt mum, oo o ttavtc, yuoii Is any other presidential candidate, and his strength with his colleagues is not limited to the south, lie Is, we believe, the choice of a majority of the members of the lower house. What Influence mem . bers of Congress have on presidential elec tions Is more or less uncertain. But it was the agitation by candidates for Con gress, that gave the country a democratic bouse, and It would seem that their hearty support of a candidate for president would have a telling effect. While we believe that if .Harmon can be nominated, his chance of election would be better than that of any democrat now offering, with the split that southern can didates will make In the convention, and with Mr. Bryan's open opposition, he is likely to be beaten in the nominating con vention. Where may we look for another in the north, who has greatec strength with the northern vote than Underwood has? Then if not Harmon, why not Un derwood? There has not been a time since the war that the people of this country were so clearly divided on questions of public ( policy, regardless of party lines, as at the present time. The progressive sentiment , of both parties seems to be In the ascen dent, and the candidate whose views are i nearest in accord with that sentiment will get that vote, almost regardless of party. Underwood's work on the floor of the house hss placed him In the front rank of reformers, and yet his every step has been so muthodical, so well digested and so reasonable that he has disarmed and non plused the republicans. It may be that the time is not yet ripe to elect a southern man to the presidency, but we are coming to believe that the country will put a man in who will initiate < 11 r ^ <rii i Mcll Vear New Clot s Sell Them t ?? +I10 "Knot fhino's t, ig bJLLU WVOU - shown.

The latest cosmopolitan contains an ar ticle of Interest to scientist Who have claimed that life, all life was the result of chemical reaction. This article shows that life has been brought into being by chemical means. The prooess is simple. Proper eulture ground made of chemicals is introduced into glass tubes. The tubes ;are then Her metically sealed bjr melting the end of the tubes. They are then subjected to heat sufficient to kill any living thing af ter which fthey are stored away under* proper conditions of heat and light. After sufficient time has elapsed the' tubes are broken open and examined under the microscope. The culture ground is found to J?e teeming with living oellq. For most Scientists this is enough to es tablish the theory of evolution, but to the layman it is not enough proof. From a o?ll of nrotronlasm to a human belnor is such a wide step that the average person cannot see across. It seems wonderful though that lifp can be thus created. How do we kno^ that even back of the cell there may b$ some life producing principle yet undiscovered which 200 degrees of heat would;n<^affectV J. Hayne McDill Dead. J. Hayne McDill died at his home on Greenville Street in this city, Thursday evening, April 4,1912, about seven o'clock, aged about fifty years. Two woeks age he had an attack of peritonitis and was thought to be recovering when he suffered a relapse, resulting in his death. ; Mr. McDill was born near l^ie Weak His parents were members of^he Asso ciate Reformed Church, as wej&fcls peo ple for generations back. Early in Hfe he connected himself with this church and he loved the church with unusual fervor. He had a sister who died In the mjfcslon&fleld in Mexico.

Kind-hearted and engag ing of manner, he at onoe won^the esteem and confidence of his employers, and the (food will of friends all ove^the county, making his services of great ,yalue to his employers. After some t$Q or twelve years service with this firm, ^ie withdrew to go into the furniture au(?jmdertaklng business. ^ r?-. Mr. MoDlll was a man of kindly heart. He was a positive character who cou^d oc cupy no middle ground. His was strong alike in his friendships and gmriitles. He was not cautious in his expressions of men and affaire, and sometimes made enemies by his sheer directness of speech.

Be was one of the committee wdo secured sub scriptions^ the Abbeville Cotton Mill, and he attended all public meetings looking to civio growth. Mr. Mcfcill was married to Miss Jennie Delph, stepdaughter of Judge J. Fuller Lyon. The widow and five children, three boys and two girls survive him. The eld est son Delph, Is now at school at the Cit adel. His devotion to bis family during his en tire married life was characterized by gen tleness and affection, and their love for and attention to him was most beautiful. Funeral t services were held Saturday morning at his late residence, conducted by his intimate and life-long friend Dr. F. Y. Pressly, President of Erskine Seminary, assisted by his pastor Beverend E. B. Ken nedy. Among those who attended the funeral from abtotyi were Judge J. Fuller Lyon, Hon. J. Fraiier Lyon, Mr. Andrew Lyon, Mr. J. C. McDlll and Mr. J. T. McDlll. His body was laid to rest In Melrose Cemetery. He was the moving spirit In buying and laying off the cemetery in which his i body now rests. He, Judge Klugh, Hon. Wyatt Aiken, Dr. Neuffer and some others, actuated by a desire to fur nish the putylo a burying-ground in which no prior claims or previous allotments of space had been made, selected a beautiful plot of ground, of some ten acres, near the end of upper Main Street, and had it laid off into lota.

The follow letter Is published just as It was written by Edna Bradley aged about eleven years, to an imiglnary friend in Florida. Her teachers required similar letters of all her classmates. Abbeville, S. C., March 12, 1912. Dear Dolores As you are so far off I will write to you In time for this letter to reach you on the Fourlh of July. As you know down South we do not celebrate the Fourth as much as Northern people do, but we are going to be in Washington on the Fourth and want you to bo with us while we are there. The rea&en we celebrate the Fourth is because the Declaration of Independence was sign ed on July 4, 1776. Since that time we celebrated the Fourth. On July Fourth 4, 1876 there was a Centennial exposition at Philadelphia because it was a hundred voAra aff^r t.hftslcnincr of the Declaration. That was long before Cuba was Indepen dent from Spain. Thomas Jegerson was called the "Pen of the Revolution," be cause he wrote most of It. Tho Declara tion was declaring ourselves Independent from the rulers of^England. As you know we fought a long and bloody war before we were free. As Cuba did with Spain. Only that war did not last hs long. We had Franca to aid us and it was mostly through Benjamin Fradklin's influence. Gf course if France had 'not helped us we probably would still be ruled by England. In the same way the United States helped Cuba. As I have said the South does not celebrate the jFourth, but up North it is almost like Christmas. They have fire works/banquets, and the children have holidays and celebrate the Fourth with the greatest pleasure. Write me a long letter soon. Your friend The;man who, a hundred years ago, prophesied that people would be flying to day was of course not believed. It may be a question whether or not he believed It himself. People are more credulous to day than they were then. There are many who are over credulous and see the finish of everything soon to come. Edna T. Bradley. soon give out, they say; all the laud will soon be deforested and as a result divers plagues will pro ceed to plaguo the human race. Iron will go with the coal; and one .fellow even sees snakes la the production of electric fluid, that by taking this "vital essence" out ol the air no telling what may happen. Already electricity, generated jby water power. Is taklngjthe place of coal and wooc for heating and cooking purposes.! But all such bosh should be discouraged Even if coal and Iron should disappear, wt have the faith to believe that there will b? found something to take the place of each. Wh have still the sun which producec the coal, and the internal fires of the eartt will be there as long as the earth is in habited, a source never ending of heat and power, ready to be tapped and which at some day may be tapped. It Is not unreasonable to suppose that at some future day the good old summei time will be cooled by air brought from the arctic regions just a mile above us and sold to us so much a cubic yard. At any rate as fast as one resource gives out another will take Its dlace and there if no use to worry. HABMON SPENDS BUST DAT Governor of Ohio Presents Brief, Holds Reception and Confers With Political Lieutenants Washington, April 1.?Gov. Judson Harmon spent a busy day in Washing ton He appeared in the supreme court, held a reception at the National Press club and conferred with politi cal lieutenants... Tn the Hunreme court Chief Justice White nodded to the governor and gave him a smile of welcome when he appeared to make a mo'.lon in the State rate cases. "The first time I appeared before the court as attorney general," said Gov. Harmon. "I had some trying ex periences. There was one thin spot in my argument, and I was gathering momentum to carry me safely and quickly over it, when Justice Gray leaned across the bench and said: "How about this point?" touching the tender spot. "I am coming to that presently your honor," I said hastily. 'Mr. At torney General, you are there now,' said the justice." Gov. Harmon declared the safety of the country lay in the power of the capable, devoted, impartial and fearless tribunal "such as the su preme court" to translate the guaran tees of the constitution" into actual protection for the individual citizen.
