In Sleaoriam.
i \ Death is sad at all times and unfL
der all circumstanc38 but it was
peculiarly Bad when on the evening
I of May 23, 1902, the soul of Mr. Levi
A Nichols took its flight to relms of
! eternal bliss. He was only sick a
little over one day but suffered in
tensely during that time. During
the last few years death has entered
that home for the third time, first

then a little over one year ago Mionie,
their only daughter and surviving
, child, was taken, now the father has
gone to be with them, leaving the
widow with neither husband nor
children to comfort her. God has
seen fit in his wise providence to
spare her four little grandchildren to
comfort her in her declining years.
May they prove a blessing to her.
Mr. Nichols united with Union
Evangelical Lutheran church in early
life and remained a consistent mem
ber of the same until death. He
l loved his church and was seldom
m absent from services. He will be
sadly missed in the church and in
the community in which he lived,
(but most sadly of all at home. His
dear little grand children who loved
their grandfather so dearly will miss
him but his companion will miss him
most of all. His seat is vacant
around the fireside and there is no
one. that can take his place with her.
His funeral services were conducted
. at Union church, Lexington county,

* from a text of his own selection, viz:
Let me die the death of the righteous
and let my last end be li^e his. After

rest in the cemetery near by to await
the resurrection morn. May God

Pcisoning the System.
It is through the bowels that the

De Witt's Little Early Risers prevent
this trouble by stimulating the
liver and promote easy, healthy action

the bowels enable tbem to perform

Candidate's Troubles.
- * ? ' - 1*
Tfce laudable attempt 01 toe candidates
in Cbarlseton to "cut out" beer
and whisky in- the campaign has
i proven a miserable fiasco and one by
one they have succumbed to the
* boms and heelers. Charleston's example
has been held up as a good patt
tern for candidates in other counties,
but all this has to be takan back now.
^ It never has been quite as bad in
?? Kichland about beer and whisky as
1? it is in Charleston, but the disrepulaH
ble practice has ' been bad enough,
and the signs are that it will be rem
newed and that increased demands '
W will be made on candidates this year.
' Already the candidates are loud in
i their protestations of the wrong inl
flicted upon them, but they seem
\ powerless to resist. These leeches j
II are already sucking their blood until
|! at the end of the campaign they will
have been bled to death.
^ The Charleston Post has the following
account of how the candidates in
^ the city capitulated:
L When it was announced in the
|H Evening Post several days ago that
ijB the candidates had made an agree^

the boys with beer this year and
* for the first few days after the announcement
the heelers were on the
anxious bench, for they did not know
where the stuff was to come from to
satisfy their parched lips. A meeting
was held and they determined thai if
beer and booze was not forthcoming
< they would see that no votes were cast
for them. Every candidate was notified
and since they have received notice
they hare been liberal in sending
out beer.
The Southern wharf, known as
Gray Gables, is a favorite resort for
the boys. They have a lay out ever)
day at 1 p m. and again at 4 p. no.
Ham and bread and good cool beer
is served at the gatherings and ihe
boys always manage to have a good
time and keep in a lively state of
mind.
The candidates are coming around
all right observed one of the guests
at Gray Gable3. He said that at first
the candidates were disposed to act
ugly and shut down on beer, bui
when the boys got together and
j agreed to knife every candidate who
? t t -JC t
| relusea to cougn up a keg 01 uee>
j occassionally, he said the candidates
knew that they were determined and
they came around all right.
A keg of beer intended for some
cf the voters of Ward 10 was held
up by a gang of boys in Ward 9, and
taken to their place of meeting and
disposed of in a short space of time
The boys in Ward 10 waited patiently
for the beer that never came and
when they learned that the lager had
fallen into the hands of the enemy
they became very much incensed
aDd there were wild threats and mutterings
against the heelers of Ward 9

Who Will Succeed Miles?
Washington July 10?There is
considerable speculation in tbe army
as to the probable successor of Lieut.
Gen. Miles, who retires by reason of
age on August 8, 1903. but it is net
generally known that tbe duties of the
office of the commanding general are
largely performed by General S. M.
Young, the president of the war college.
Ic is an open secret in the war department
that General Miles is com
manding general in Daiae only. His
name appears on official orders, ard
routine papers pass through his office,
but when advic9 is desired by the
secretary of war on matters affecting
tho armr Y inner is alwavfi
called into consultation.
It is definitely known that when
General Miles retires, either by reason
of age, a year from now, or by
order of the president, Gen. YonDg
will be named as his successor, but
as General Young retires for age on
January 9, 1904, he will have only a
few months to serve and the real in
terest, therefore, centres in a successor
to General Young.

bin say that he is the logical candidate
by reason of loDg service and in
recognition of his conduct of the war
with Spain. General Corbin declines,
however, to authoiize the use of his
name in this connection and has al4
ready disavowed any intention to
scramble for the office.
Secretary Root and the president
are much impressed with General
Corbin's ability and among the officers
of the army his chances for appointment
are considered excellent. The
candidates against him will be Major
General Adna Chaffee, John C. Bates,
Arthur McArthur and James F.
Wade. General Wade is now a Briglier
General, but he has been assured
. " promotion to Major General upon
| the occurrence of the next vacancy.
McLaurin Hay Decline.
Some people in the South Carolina
circle in Washington who claim to
have inside information as to affairs
in this State seem to think that, after
all, Senator McLaurin may not be
| appointed to the federal judgeship
of the court of claims. Not because
they do not; think the President
would appoint the Senator if be desires
the honor, but because they believe
that after all the talk concerning
the Senator that he may not care
to accept the place. He may prefer
I to remain in the Senate until the end
of the next session of Congress,
I when his term will expire, and then
i to reenter the practice of his profes|
sion, either in South Carolina or in
! Washington. The Senator, it is
I stated by his friends, has received
I many tempting offers, but he has ac|
cepted none of them, and it is said
i he may decline the judgeship if offered.

some amusing stories of Negro character
at the last dinner of the New York
Southern Bociety, says an exchange,
one had to do with the exslaves retained
on bis father's plantation after
the emancipation proclamation. The
elder Miller, a liberal minded man, insisted
on giving each of the freed
Negroes a salary, but asked, in return,
that each perform his or her
assigned duty without fail, just as
would be done were they to seek service
elsewhere, as they were free to
do. To one old fellow, Jonas, was
assigned the duty of watering Mr.
Miller's saddle horse three times
daily at regular intervals. Several
times he neglected the duty, and
each time was told by Mr. Miller
that they would have to separate if
he were not more careful. When
next he forgot, Mr. Miller said:
"Jonas, you've had fair notice. Now
you and I must part." "Yap, Marse
John," replied Jonas, "I'm sorry too.
I was born an1 raised here on de
plantashum and shall die here. I

that the policy of separation of the
schools for the two races calls for the
employment of an army of colored
teachers. This proves, he asserts, a
great incentive to a great many oi
the more intelligent colored youths
to fit themselves to be teachers oi
