He Knew Evorybody and Everybody Liked Him.
A Story Full of Interest.
The sketeh of "James Ii. Orr,
Congro88ni!in, speaker, Confederate
Senator, Judge and minister to Rus
sia," by Col. A. K. McClure, which
appeared recently in tho Philadel
phia Record, induces mo to relato a
few personal recollections of tho
groat man. I do not know that ho
knew mo, but I suppose he did from
the fact that 1 had been employed in
a store in Andorson for moro than
two years just prior to bis departure
to Russia, (lioosha, ho pronounced
it). He had known my father all bis
life, and in bis young manhood he
was first lieutenant of tho Anderson
Military Company, which an undo of
mino commanded, and besides all
this, Judge Orr, who bad a habit of
knowing everybody, would hardly let
a young man of nineteen romain in
his homo town two years without
looating him.
Along then newspapers rasped him
a good deal for bis political leanings,
and tho degree oi ostracism in which
hiB townspeople placed bim was just
enough to bo observablo to tho out
sider.
It is evidont that this wounded
bim, for, conscious of bis own recti
tude and sincerity, it pained bim that
his own people, with whom and for
whom he had boen spent, could not
or would not understand him.
When at home from his rounds of
tho oirouit be rarely went up town,
and while ho called at few places, ho
seemed nover to fail to drop in upon
his old friend, Baylis Clark, who
then ran a tailoring establishment
about whore Wilhite's drug store now
is. Here and there in the town wore
mon who did not suffor politics to
disturb personal relations, notably
O. H. P. Fant, with whom, in bis
oilier, at tho old depot, Judge Orr
spent much of his little leisure, but
these could have been counted on tho
fingers of ono band.
But time reconciled all these es
trangements-timo is a mighty good
healer-and when Judgo Orr got
roady to start on his long journey to
the Russian Court his old friends, all
of whom had gotten back into line,
gave him a farewell send off, a sort of
bon voyage, at tho old Waverly
House, where the Chiquola now
stands. It was a quiet affair and for
that reason all tho more hearty and
sincere ; thore had been no prelimi
nary trumpeting, as tho custom i.ow
18, and echoes on tho streets tho fol
lowing morning was'tho first intima
tion many had that a meeting had
been held. Stephen McCully, Nim
Sullivan, Sylvester Blcckloy, Elijah
Webb, Baylis Crayton, Baylis Clark,
Scotch John Wilson, Perry Fant
and many others wore thoro. Most of
theso made talks expressive of thoir
confidence and esteem and of thoir
pride and part in tho new honor that
had come* to him. When it carno
Judgo Orr's timo to talk ho was
deeply moved and ho could ill con.
coal his emotions. Ho had, ho said,
in tho course of his public career ad
dressed largo, cultured and critical
assemblies;, he had enjoyed tho cov
eted, the exalted honor of presiding
over the National Houso of Repre
sentatives fte its speaker, it, would
soon fall to his lot to havo audienoe

with tho Czar of all tho Russias, but
not in all tho stations of honor to
which ho had boon called had he
found it oo hard to control himself
or lind words fitly to express his

heart for the hearty expressions of

Ho wore a white churn hat, familiar

board, close cropjicd, was almost
white and thc upporlip clean shaven.
Presently ho dropped into tho .store
whore I was employed, and, being
idle at the time, I faced him and
asked to servo bim. Ho replied : "I
want to see Mr. MeCully." But Mr.
McCully, tho proprietor, was wait
ing upon a lady a few feet away and
informed tho Judge that I could at
tend to his wants. lie then said, "1
want to settle my account," a thing I
had guessed at as bc entered. I don
ducted him to tho office, and whon I
bad footed tho account and an
nounced the amount ho lot go an
expression not found in Sunday
school literature. The account was
bigger than ho thought, and he said
something about extravagance, but I
explained that tho bulk of the ac
count was for a lot of country bacon
-hog round-purchased by himself
a good while before, and that I was
sure ho had forgotten it. He sub
sided and asked mo to draw a oheck
for tho amount-$32 as I remember
-on the Savings Bank, which had
beon in operation but a few raonthB
and which did business about where

proper entry on the book of original
entry and submitted it for his inspec
tion. Adjusting his speotaoles he
quickly said, ?'This is not the book,"
and I at onoe understood bo wanted
the transaction oarried to the ledger.
This I did in a moment, and when
he again inspected it he said, <(Tbat
will do. I'm fifty years old, (Col.
McClure speaks of him as au old
man), and when you've lived that
long you'll find an entry on the
ledger is the best receipt."
In a* day or two thereafter he went
away, aoooropanied by his daughter,
Mary, whom ho placed in Gchool in
Germany, and by his son, Lawrence,
who went as his privato secretary.
By and by the press dispatches an
nounced that he had reaohed tho Rus
sian capital and presented his creden
tials to the Emperor. Tho next pub
lio tidings of him following oloso
upon this told of his death. A tele
gram had reaohed Anderson during
the 6th of May, I believe it was, but
it bad not boon given out for some
reason, so that not until tho arrival
of the train from Belton lato in tho
afternoon did tho' sad news got
abroad. The engineer blew his
whistle all the way from Rooky river
to town and peoplo wondorod what
was tho matter. Remarkable occur
rences were heralded thus in that
day. W. W. Keys, now of the Bap
tist Courier, then a typo in the In
telligenoer office, located overhead on
Granite Row, sought to oxplain the
portentous long whistle, while it con
tinued to blast by suggesting maybe
it means that Judgo Orr is coming
home. Mr. McCully was in his storo
when tho sad nows roached him, and
within live minutos his door was
closed and draped in the habiliments
of mourning. Others caught, the
suggestion as by a common impulse,
and in a few moments every place of
business was closed and tho town
was held in the solemn hush of death.
Presently the Court House bell, with
slow, measured stroke, broke tho
oppressive stillness, only to intonsify
tho deep solemnity of the hour, and
anon the church bolls mingled their
notes with tho mourful requiem. A
typical April rain bad fallen. The
tender foliage of early spring was
bathed in tho warmth of nature's
tears-the face of nature wore an
expression of grief for hor illustrious

was arrested on a warrant charging
him with a violation of tho game

MARRY, YOUNO MAN, MARRY.
Rev. 8am Jones Talks to Young Men-What
He Has (9 Say to Them.
Give me your attention, young
man. I've been a young man ; now
1 am an old man, so to speak. Ad- ]
raitting your intelligence I claim that j
experience and observation have
helped me to see some things that
simple intelligence does not observe.
There are two words which cover
three worlds, success and failure
God has endowed you with volition,
and that means ohoioe, and choice
means, simply, Til take this, you may
have that. Choice means aleo two
or more things are offered. K there
was only one thing io sight then it's
Ilobson's choice.
If one is a good thing and the other
bad, then ohoose tho good. If both
are good then take the gooder. If
both are bad then take neither. Not
like ono of the oanidates for Governor
of Georgia said the other day : "Of
two evils, I never take the greater."
That's politics, pure and simple and
tbo devil is running that whole
business.
Kcal success has its foundation just
like the houBes we live in, and the
very basis of success is good oharac
tor. As Bure as that the constitution
folio wathe flag,so good character must
load the way in all successful under
takings. The young man who thinks
he must drink whiskey and "cuss" to
help make a than of himself is a fool
to begin with. If I were riinniug a
saloon I would want a decent, sober
barkeeper.
I was not long finding a place of
trust and honor for a young man of
my town, somo time ago, when I said
to a loading railroad offioial with
whom I wanted to plaoe him, "that
bc was not only bright and cflioient
and trustworthy, but that ho was aa
clean in his lifo as his sweet Christain
mother. He has nevor touched wJhis
key, wino or beer, swore an oath or
handled a deck of cards." "Send
him to me," said the official, and that
young man has been promoted the
third time in twelve months, and I
dare say, will yet bo president of
that groat railroad system. It pays
to be decont, it nevor pays to be
otherwise. Tho boy who knows-how
to bo a gentleman, and knows how
to koop from being a dog, is in pos
session of tho knowledge which
makes him master of the situation.
No uso talking, young man, about
having self-control and will power.
The way to keep olean is not to rub
up against the things that will "smut
you." I don't onre how much you
may boast of will power, whiskey
will make you drunk.
Again, God norman can ovcrholp
you to be somebody, until you mako
up your mind that you will bo or
die, do or dio.
This mossago to you, young man,
was inspired by a notice of that
greatest living pianist, Padorewski,
which I saw in tho Kansas City Jour
nal of yesterday. The article was
headed, "Paderewski's Success
Achieved Through Much Hard
Work." His recital is to occur here
in Convention hall, March 17th. I
quote from the notice as follows :
"Padorewski has simply come to
be the dominant figure in tho world
of music, a dominanoy acquired by
years of patient struggle and priva
tion. The success achieved by Pad
orewski is not the result of chance,
but the outcome of sweat and sui
fering, heart-burnings and humilia
tions."
Tho press has given to the world
tho st^ry of bis life ; how at 19 years
of ago, he softened the sting of pov
erty by marrying a girl equally as poor,
It is now almost impossible to osti?
mato Paderewski's wealth. His first
tour of Amorioa netted him $108,000;
his second $181,000. This is the fifth
and each sucoeoding one has marked
a financial gain over the preceding
ono. Wheu it is considered that in
all tho European countries Pader*
owski is equally a favorite, it will be
soon that his ton years of success
havo netted him millions. Even
with all his immense charities and
opon-bandod generosity, he has not
been able to despatoh all his wealth.
He has a magnifiaient '.jome in Po
land and Switzerland and princely
apartments in Paris. The news
papers no longor busy themselves with
his llame colored hair, or molan
choly oyes or how he appears on the
stago, or how he holds his knifo at
the table. But now they tell us of
his thorough deep knowledge of the
innermost secreta and feelings of tho
"piano soul," and his own acquain
tance with the hopes and fears, sor
rows and sufferings that fill every
human life. Now tho press makes it
oosior for him to do what no other
man can do.
Paderowski made up his mind that
he would wear the crown of Chopin
Hubenstein and with his mind mode
up be worked and Buffered and per
severed until he has as purely Won as
that he wears their crowns. Young
man, this not only holds good wit-j
Paderewski, but it's true of all great
men, from Adam down to Pade
rewski.
Work, perseverance, suffering.
Throw to the winds all easy jobs. A
thing that is easy done is not worth
doing. The things you do that call
for brain sweat, soul sweat and body
sweat are the things that make sac
cess not only possible but sure.
''.An idlo head is the devil's work
shop." . Yes, and an idle boy is the
devil's saddle horse, and the devil is
most generally in the saddle, too.
Shun idleness like you would a
saloon, for they are two things that
get mighty thick on a short acquaint
ance.
Again, take oare of your integrity.
When it becomes necessary in your
life for you to tell a lie,, then you
need to go baok and start life over
again. You oan't build on a lie.
There is but one thing in the world
that will fit down on a lie, and that is
another He.
Again, if you would succeed, be a
gentleman. Kindness and courtesy
cost hut little, but they are compan
ions of good fellowship and furnish a
store house for friends, and you will
need friends, just as you need air
and water. Again, avoid all games
of chance, from oraps to colton
futures. They destroy your taste
for honest toil, just as yellow-back
no vol? destroy all taste for useful
knowledge. A dollar earned by
sweat and toil is worth a million won
on puts and calls.
Again, cherish only the friendship
and companionship of good men and
women. Be as oareful of your com
pany as you are of your destiny.
A rain, marry, young man, marry
i The old question pretty nearly coven
?the ground, "Are you a married mai
lor ? dog?" God's best gift to J
little boy is a good mother. God't
! best gift to a young man is a goo(

Again, young man, stiok to th
Bible of your'mother and the Go
your father, for it is religion tha

Don't be skeptical, ugnostioal o

Something About Him atri His
th? Position.
' Anderson Daily M
Permit me through the
of your valuable paper- to en
dorse the oandldaoy of tho Honor
able Wyatt Aiken for C
thie, the Third District, in tho com
ing Demooratib Primary. Porp
ating as he does the good name of
his illustrious father, illustrating also
that faithful devotion to duty which
oharaotorized hie sire, ho nooda no
introduction at roy hands to the poo*
pie of this county. My only apology
for attempting to point to bis clean
feoord and his fitness for Congres
sional honors shall be that hi* own
tongue, unlike that of tho small )><>1 ? j
tioian of the d*y? disdain to pro-j
olalra in blatant tones jthr- lavish
paeans of self-praise. All honor to
his modest, honest soul ; for, scorning
the petty deceits and the wiles of
the political mystio maze, ho prefers
rather to make his rape a race on
issues than one appealing to thc pas
sion? of partisans, to personal or
hereditary friendships, or to his own
magnetic, magnanimous personality.
I shall then not transgress upon his
prerogative to presQnt tho issues upon
which he will wage his hatti<
but shall direct attention more espe -
cially to his record as a private man.
He was reared on a farm in Abbe
ville (now Greenwood) county ahd as
a farmer was always auccessful. His
talents, however, called him into
another profession in which it w?|i
his pleasure to remain irf close, con
fidential elbow-touoh with his former
fellow-tillers Of the soil. His deep
interest in their wolf aro was mani
fested at all times in a practical
manner, so that none ever doubted
his sincerity nor ever .questioned' tho
genuineness of his interest. For him
politics had no charm, ho sought no
personal aggrandizement, ho had n<
desire for political preferment, but by
his merit ho was called to act aa t,ffi
oial court stenographer eightoen
years ago and has since then filled
the position with honor and credit
to himself and with eminent satis
faction to the officials of the court
and to the public. His uniform
o?urtesy to all, regardless of caste
or fortune, have won for him, dur
ing tho continuous itinerary of
eighteen years, golden opinions iii
tho minds of hundreds who will be
delighted* to honor him with thoir
ballots. The raco for Oongrrw
not by any means of his own choos
ing, for he has heretofore waisted
the urgent appeals made by his
friends to allow tho use of lin name,
but the pressure become too strong,
its spontaneity became too evident
and he was swept into the race in
spite of himself. Now that be has
acoepted the standard, he will make
an aggressive race and a winning
raoe.
Not alono in privato lifo baa ho
served his country, but true to his
heroio nature and patriotic soul ho
volunteered ir tho Spanish war aa a
private and P' oaldered his musket as
a member7 of tho Abbeville military
company, in which capacity he served
in the First South Carolina Volun
teer Infantry Regiment one month,
when for meritorious services be was
promoted to Battalion Adjutant.
During the whole of his service ho
was Acting Regimental Quartermas
ter, and it is worthy of note that his
acoounts with the Government, in
volving over $100,000, ohooked put
to a oent. Here, as in ovory other
oapaoity, ho served with equal satis
faction to officers and men, and here
also bo endeared himself to all with
whom he came in contact by, his big
hearted generosity nnd thoughtful
ness of the comfort of the sick. I
refer to this at tho risk of his dis^
pleasure, for I am aware, a's are those
who witnessed and were the recipi
ents of his knightly trcatrriont, that
it was his desire that his name should
not be known in oonn?otion with his
generous acts, but in his own unos
tentatious way
"Ho did good by stealth
And blushed to find it fame.''
Many a poor, sick soldier owes his
life to thia benefactor far taking him
from the hospital, sending him hqme
at his own expense and taking the
risk of securing hie furlough aft?
was safe at home.
Ho is especially a friend to the
young men of the Dielriot, ho having
scoured employment for a largor
number of youug men than any man
