THE KAWNN DRUG CS Lexington, S. C. South Carolina Ssuatsrship. \ Gov. Ansel, of South Carolina, has ifc in his hands to render his State a memorable service. He can appoint Col. James C. Hemphill, of Charleston, to the seat in the United States Senate left vacant by the death of the lamented Senator Latimer, and thuS at once bring forward one of the ablest men of the South and win the cordial approval of his State. Col. Hemphill stands in the very front rank of the editorial profession in the United States. The Charleston News and Courier is, more than any other newspaper, the representative i irmrnnl nf t.hnt vast ration stretch in er along the Atlantic .below Baltimore. It is one of the three or four newspapers quoted all over the world as in the lead of the development of the new South which is coming to be regarded as one of the wonderlands for fertility of soil, wealth of mineral and charm of climate. And the News and Courier is distinctively the reflection of the mind and purpose of Col. Hemphill. He dominates it as effectively as Henry Watterson does the Louisville Courier-Journal or Clark Howell the Atlanta Constitution. But it is not alone or chiefly as a newspaper man that Col. Hemphill suggested for the Senate. He is a scholar and a ripe and good one. He is a man of wide experience in public affairs. He is of thorough training and successful in his private business. He is an American to the core and represents the finest thought, the highest traditions, of a State noted for generations for the brilliancy of its public men and its influence in the political life of the nation. He is an accomplished orator and a formidable debater. ? He is endowed with a noble presence. He is held in honor most by the State in which he has lived all his little more than half century of life and where he is best known. He has fought for his people through good and evil report with a courage, and wisdom and patriotic spirit beyond praise. Ho commands the devotion of his friends to an extraordinary degree and the respect of the best citizenship every where'in the Republic. Gov. Ansel will do himself and his State equal honor if he shall embrace the opportunity of the hour and send Col. Hemphill to the Senate. Argument on such a point is superfluous.

Walhalla, February 23.?News of the death of one of Oconee county's most respected citizens was received in Walhalla this morning early, caus ing general sorrow and regret.

Later a large number of citizens organized a searching party and Mr. Maxwell's lifeless body was' found about two miles west of Walhalla.
