Another Christian Gentleman.
Edgefield Chronical.
Mr. Editor: I notice in last week's
Chronicle an article signed J. W.
Brooks, admonishing the people not
; to vote for a wicked man. He concludes
by saying; "I think the
people would make a wise choice by
voting fo Talbert or Hey ward." A
stranger to the other candidates
would infer from this article that
Talbert and Heyward are the only
Christian gentlemen i? the race. I
t-iz-wl- roioK tn Ko nndflrotAnd an nn.

posing in particular any one of the
candidates; but I feel sure that if we
all take Mr. Brooks' good advice to
vote for the best and ablest Christian
gentleman in the race, Dr. W. E.
Timmerman will be our next Governor.
I have known Dr. Timmerman
for more than thirty yeare, and I regard
him as not only the purest man
in the race, but one of the purest and
most conscientious Christian gentleman
I have ever known. He is not
given to going about, wearying religious
gatherings with long-winded,
noisy Sunday-school addresses, so
n(tinn/.A*n man nnt IrnrtnT mn/th oVtmif
ObiaUf^ClC UIOJ iiUV AUVVT UIUVU UVVUV
him; but his near neighbors (one of
whom I have been for twenty years)
will gladly testify that the sincerity
of his religion is proven beyond question
by his beautiful, unpretending,
consistent Christian life, which daily
speaks for him more eloquently than
all the speeches that could be made
In his comm^Tty he has always been
a leader in every good cause, and is a
pillar in his church both financially,
mentally and spiritually. He has
been a leader in providing good
schools for his community, and has
often insisted that those not finan- ,
cially able to attend should do so at ,
his expense. As a physician, I dare
say be has done more ch 'ty practice
than any man in the State?and i
has done it so quietly, cheerfully, and
unostentatiously as to remind one of
the Master who w?nt about healing
the sick.
As a farmer, he has always been
abreast with the times, giving his
community the benefit of his painstaking
research and experiments.
As a neighbor, I have never one time
known him not to do as he would be
done by. Ae a man, be is simple m |
taste, quiet in manner, sycrfpatbetic
in feeling, courageous in action, successful
in business, temperate in
habits, and irreproachable in character.
He is no politician. If he could
have stooped to the underhand tricks
of some politicians, he could have
held a high and paying office long
ago. He is a patriotic statesman of
too pure a type to compromise his integrity
for the sake of the highest
office in the gift of the people. ^He
has been identified with the public
i:f. _r u:_ L j cn-i. r
me ui iiio couuiy anu otaie iur more
than twenty-five years, and during
the whole time there has never been
a shadow east on his spotless record,
yet he haB never held a payiDg office
bat once. Brother Christians and
Democrats, now is the opportunity of
your lives to reward this good man's
consecrated life by making him Governor.
By so doing, you will honor
not only him but yourselves and your
State. In him we would have a Governor
who would always be on Sunday
in his church pew, and on all
other days in his office, attending to
his lawful business. You will have
in him a Governor whom the most
refined lady can approach at any time
and feel benefited by hie presence.
i
He will never be financially enriched
by public office, for hia pockets will
never be soiled by bribes, whiskey
rebates, etc. As to his executive
ability to fill the office a lifetime of
painstaking performance of both
private and public duties, and the
rare combination of tact, common
sense and good judgment which has
always marked his successful career,
prove beyond doubt that in him we
would have a Governor of whom the
whole State might well be proud.

Little Mountain.
An Immense Crowd Present?Some
Good Speeches.
Newberry Observer, 5th inst.
The reunion of the students, former
students and friends of Newberry
college at Little Mountain on Friday
was an event of much interest. The
C, N & L. road ran specials from
Newberry and Columbia, carrying
216 passengers from the Columbia
end and 510 from the Newberry end.
And the woods were full of carriages
and buggies; one present said there
were more buggies present than the
an/^itnr nan obnw rpfcnrned on his
books. The crowd was estimated at
about five thousand?that was probably
an exaggeration, though it was
really one of the largest gatherings
ever assembled at this favorite
rendezvous. Newberry and Lexington
counties were about equally represented,
and there were candidates
galore from both counties, besides
two or three State candidates.
Speeches were made by Rev. W.
L. Lutz, Prof. E. O. Counts, Mr. I.
H. Hunt and Dr. Geo. B. Cromer.
The Bpeeches were good and received
an attentive hearing. Dr. Cromer
was at his best and went for the dispensary
with gloves off, telling how
the institution is debauching public
sentiment on the spucious plea of reducing
taxes and helping the schools.
He also discussed child labor and
compulsory education?these three
subjects being all closely connected
with the subject of popular education
in South Carolina. He apoke very
positively in favor of the enactment
of a child labor law ana also a law
for compulsory education. Many
present did not agree with the doctor
in his views on all these subjects, but
he was listened to with most respectful
and thoughtful attention, because
all knew him to be a thinking man
?not in politics, and therefore
speaking out his honest sentiments
for the good of the State and particularly
the rising generation, in whom
as an educator he is so deeply interested.
The reunion association resolved
that the Little Mountain reunion
shall take place every year on the
first Fridav in August.

where he was. When he recovered
from the shock he found he could
use his legs and began to walk about
the room tor the first time in several
years.

Items Penned "by Klondike.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The past two weeks have been
busy ones in the life of Klondike.
The meeting at Florence was a
grand one. The presence of the
Holy Spirit was felt throughout the
meeting and much good was done.
The baptizing will come off the 3rd
Sunday in August.
Leaving Florence we met the Sunday
school convention at Saman .
Here feasts were spread. One for
the body and one for the soul. The
introductory sermon was preached
hv M ,T_ Kvzer. frnm TT. Timothv
~ j r ?J * J
3:15, 16 verses. The discueions !
were enthusiastic throughout and
especially when they touched whisky
and tobacco. The convention stands
for absolute prohibition and did not
fail to so state. Rev. W. B. Fallaw
made a very strong and telling speech
against the use of the filthy weed.
Some of the preachers didn't like his
thunder, but, of course, they were
struck anyway. One preacher said
there had not been but one pint of
whiskey in his house for twenty-one
years. The convention decided
unanimously to let him go to heaven
even if he did chew tobacco.
To stop nasty men from spitting
on church floors, sugar was recommended
as a sure preventative as it
dries up the salivary glands and gives
one a sense of sweetness.
On Saturday Rev. C. B. Avery
preached a good sermon from Jeremiah
6:16, which was very much enjoyed.
The missionary sermon was
preached by Rev. W. B. Fallaw and
was well received by a large audience.
Oar friend, the Hon. John Bell
Towill, was with U3 on Sunday and
made us a good Bpeech. Hurry, John
and get through in the House, we
want you in the Senate.
, From Samaria we began a meeting
at Steadm&n. Rev. T. F. Rivers did
the preaching which wa3 very much
enjoyed by the church and community.
The ordinance of Baptism will
be administered to the candidates on
the 4th Sunday in August.
Steadman is building up at a
lively rate. You had better get you
a lot before they are all sold. Six or
seven Mills are landing lumber here.

mill.

land and crops that were not too far
gone are doing nicely. Peas are
looking fine. Still the fatted calf
continues to fall a victim to the knife
and the anxious candidate runs for
his life.
Mr. Capers Lewis is teaching a
summer school at Dick Hill.
Tell ''Violet" I said fish is good
brain food and he needs a good size
whale to start on.
Cleo, the little daughter of G. M.
Kyzer, of Brookland, is visiting her
grandma, Mrs. J. S. Jiyzer.
A sweet smile for the one who put
grapes in the box for
Klondike.
Precedents Not Well Taken.
North Edisto, S. C,
Aug. 4, 1902.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Instead of Mr. Sharpe coining out
in the Dispatch and giving his reasons
for not resigning he quotes
precedents. His precedents are not
well taken, as Capt. Griffith's vacancy
could not have been filled without a
special election and I presume Efird's
was thfi sftmfl. or a nneeial election
could be avoided by Efird's holding
on dating the session in which his
appointment was made. But here
we have a Senator who is a candidate
for a State office and who shouts on
every stump that he is going to "get
their", refusing to give up his office
so that the position can be filled at
the same time the other offices are
filled, thus saving the people much
trouble and the county or State some
expense. Mr. S\arpe does not believe
he is going to be elected Comptroller
General, as is proved by his

Office holding has become chronic j
with him. He seems to think the I
people of Lexington county cf-n't get
on without him?unless he can get I
a State office. The people at large |
are disappointed in Mr. Sharpe and !
he will find it out when the vote of 1
old Lexington is counted.

Education?Does It Pay?
This question I shall answer in the
affirmation. To make clear what I
have stated, I shall use some illustrations.
In Germany every boy ana girl has
to go to school seven years. This is,
of course, free, and compulsory. It
has been said: "No man in Germany
is ignorant." Some of the most
noted universities of the world are in
this country. She leads the world
in learning, and everywhere wealth
and prosperity meet the eye of the
visitor. From these facts you may
know full well Germany thinks education
pays, and enormous profits at
that.
As it is with Germany, so it is
with every other country. The
United States, England and Germany,
these countries that are at
the very zenith of learning, have the
wealth of the civilized world at their
Diaamg.
Massachusetts began her career as
a state by educating her children;
South Carolina by teaching hers to
material wealth; Massachusetts has
a poor soil and rigorous climate,
South Carolina a fertile soil and a
most delightful climate; in Massachusetts
every hill top is now crowned
with immensely rich cities, in South
Carolina is a sparsely settled country
and little wealth. The JNewJJin gland
states have enriched thema elves by
building factories and fostering education,
the Southern states have impoverished
themselves by neglecting
the schooling of their children.
The "Bay State" spends annually
twenty million dollars on her schools.
The boy or girl who spends three
or four years and from $600 to $1,000
in school usually far outstrips his
neighbor, who sp?nd^ neither time
or money in getting ready for his life
work. In ihi9 age of marvellous
progress where everything must be
done in the least possible time, it is
only the trained hand and the educated
mind that gets the highest
salaries and the mo9t prominent
places in society, State and church.
The educated factory, boy and mechanic
very soon secure the easiest
places and the best pay. The merchant
wants the mind to stand behind
his counter and at his desk.
In fact, every position of respect and
honor demands the very best training
the schools afford.
A young man twenty-one years old
TOortorl ? vpar ah 35 nents a riav. Hp
.. ~ ? ? J - J- /
took that money, went to school
and now his wag68 are $3 50 per day
or ten times as much as he made
before going to school. What a
handsome investment to that young
man! Does education pay?
A minister once said: "There are
at least a dozen young men in this
church who should be in school. I?
I were you I would go if I had to
sell out to go. I did sell my horse
and buggy, all I had, and went to
school" Do vou know this vounp
_ _ ^ _ ^ 0
man is now an able and eloquent
minister of the Lutheran church"?
Does education pay? Dit it pay this
young man?
Young man, young woman, if you
decide, as this youDg man did, you
will never regret it, for I have never
yet seen a person who would sell his
education, if he could, for five times
its cost.
Now is the time to decide whether
or not you are to.go to school another
3
year, ana ii so, wnere you are to go.
If you decide to come to the Institute,
at Lexington, S. C., the principal,
the students and all the people
of Lexington will make you never
regret it.
Next session of Palmetto Collegiate
Institute opens September 8th,
