Mayor Ward ha? received notice of ac ceptance from President George B. Cro mer, of Newberry College, of the invita tion extended him to deliver an address at the dedication of the Graded School building, on Wednesday, September 17. As an educator and orator of marked ability, a sound thinker and practical man. Mr. Cromer stands among the brightest lights in this State, and the citizens of Walhalla may well congratu late themselves on being given an oppor tunity to hear bim. There will be much to interest and profit his hearers, and President Cromer will be a most wel come guest in Walhalla. Enrollment for tho Graded School. Prof. D. F. Nioholson. Principal of the Walhalla Graded Sohool, will be at the school building on Monday and Tuesday, September 15th and 10th, in the forenoon from 0 a. m. to 12 noon, for the purpose of enrolling pupils for the opening of the session. All parents intending to enter their ohildren in the sohool should meot Prof. Nicholson personally some time during these days and have their ohildren enrolled, or send the ohildren themselves for enrollment. Those en rolled at the beginning will, of course, be given preference, and should there not be room for all those applying after the opening of the school will bo disap pointed, lt is important that tho enroll ment be completo at the beginning, and it will greatly facilitate matters if the prinoipal can havo the names of all nipils, BO that the grading and organisi ng of tho school may bo in workiug order at tho outset. Lyceum Entertainments. Mr. Jas. Thompson has just dosed a contract with tho Southern Lyceum Bureau, of Louisville, Ky., for a lyceum course at Walhalla. The Southern is the olden, lyceum bureau in this part of the country and handles only tho best enter tainers on the platform, and the people of Walhalla should consider themselves very fortunato indeed in being ablo to see the platform artists that Mr. Thomp son has scoured for thom, as wo oan truthfully say that not another town in South Carolina with twice the popula tion that we have will be able to BOO the same people. It is quite a financial risk to run, but knowing the people as Mr. Thompson does, he did not hesitate to piok the best that the Southern had. The lyceum will be run in the interest of the Walhalla Silver Cornet Band. The contract calls for Rov. S. P. Jones, Ed. L. Barker, the Chicago Gleo Club, Hendrickson & Rosani and tho Host on Symphony Club. These are all first-olass 6copie and come highly recommended y tho public and the press. Season tickets will be sold for $4.00 eaoh. With each tioket is a guarantee that every one will be pleased or your money refunded. The season will open on September 10 with that prince of platform artists, Mr. Ralph Bingham. Death ol Mr. E. F. Alexander. Tne many friends of Mr. E. F. Alexan der throughout Oconco and PiokonB oounties will regret, to learn of his death, whioh occurred at his home, near Pleas ant Ridge, in this co - nty. on Sunday last. He had boon a constant sufferer for nevon or eight months, during which time he bore patiently his affliction and pain. Mr. Alexander wn ? in his 04th year, and was a native of Oconoo, having been born in that section of this county cut off from Piokens District. Ile was a faithful soldier in the Confederate army, serving from tbe opening to the close of the war in Sharp's Company of Cavalry, as a member of which he was recognized as a brave and daring follower of tho Stars and Bars. In oarly lifo he con nected himself with tho Baptist church, and through his long and useful life was a consistent member of this branch of the Christian church. At tho time of his death he was a deacon in Pleasant Ridge church. Earnest and thoughtful in all things, he was a zealous and hum b'e follower of the mook and lowly Naza rene, and in his death a good citizen and faithful Christian has beon called to his reward. He leaves a wifo, five sons and six daughters in his immediate home to mourn his death. Twobrothors, Messrs. Jaoob B. and Jordan Aloxander, and one sister, Mrs. Nancy Ann Madden, all of whom reside in this county, survive him. His remains were laid to rest at Pleasant Ridge cemetery Monday afternoon, the funeral servicos hoing conducted by Rev." J. M. Sanders. The sympathy of many friends goes out to the bereaved ones in their sore affliction. A Card from Mr. Craig. To tho Voters of Oconeo County: During the two years I have hold the office of County Superintendent of Edu cation I have discharged my official duties faithfully and well. Tho books and records are open to public inspec tion and I invite every citizon to oxamine them. For tho information of those who cannot do so I submit tho following en dorsements and approval from tho office of tho Comptroller General and the Grand Jury presentment, to-wit: Hon. A. W. Jones, Auditing Clork, approved the annual settlement last Ootober and afterwards made the following en dorsement upon the settlement book: "I havo carefully examined tho books and find tho same correctly kept in ac cordance with instructions from the Comptroller General's offico this - day of October, 1901. . [Signed] A. W. Jones." Also at tho July torm of Court 1002 tho Grand Jury by committee assisted in their examination by Senator E. L. Herndon ??tated: "We have examined the accounts of * * * County Superin tendent of Education * * . fully and carefully and find the accounts properly kept and moneys on hand and fully ac counted for * * * and find the books and records well and properly kept." On account of sickness in my family and the attention required in the dis charge of my official duties I have not beon able to make as thorough canvass of the county as I desired. It would have afforded me pleasure to meet every voter personally and givo to him an ac count of my stewardship. I feel con scious of duty faithfully porformed. I stand on my merit and on tho record I have made. By this I am willing to be judged. I thereforo would greatly ap preciate your suffrages on next Tuesday, tho 0th of September, 1002, for a second term of the office of County Superin tendent of Education. . Respectfully submitted for your candid consideration. C. L. Craig. Would Open Old Wounds. A terrible effort is being made this weok to stir up old political feuds and reopen wounds that nave healed. This is not the work of men who love their State better than their selfish ambitions. Factionalism is dead and the man who tries to bring it to life should be buried politically. One of the best results of Capt. Heyward's election will be that he will represent the entire people. He is the candidate of no faction or set of men. He is being enthusiastically supported by men who eight and ten years ago opposed each other bitterly. For the first time in many years we will have a Governor who cannot be olaimed by this class or that class. He will be for all. The alliance grip ls given and tho oall to arms sounded, bnt the Allianoeroon, as the returns from the election show, are standing by the only man in the race for Governor who has always been a farmer, who has never before run for publio office and whose ability and character are of the highest The poo f>le will elect the next Governor despite he politicians. -Th?

DARB CLEMSON'S NEW PRESIDENT. Prof. P. H. Mall, ol th? Alabama Polytechnic Institute, was Elected. Keowee, S. C., September 1.-Editors Courier: The Board of Trustees of Clem son College met on Friday evening last for the purpose of electing a President to fill the vacancy oaused by the resigna tion of President Hartzog. No selection was made that night, and the board held another session on Saturday. A dead lock ensued and it was near mid-day when votes enough were secured to eleot Prof. P. H. Mell, of the Alabama Poly technic institute. Prof. Mell was highly endorsed, and has been at Auburn for about twenty years, whioh fact is itself a recommenda* tion. He is Direotor of the Station there and Profew?or of Botany and Qaology, and 1B said to bo a well-equipped scien tific man. He is a son of the distin guished Prof. Mell, late Chancellor of the University of Georgia. He is 02 years old, of marked personal oharaoter and integrity and hos attractive man ners. The board has no doubt made a wiso selection. Ho is to be at Collego on the 4th instant. Over 500 boys havo boon accept od for next session, which opens on tho 10th instant. Lieutenant Haven Syrmyer has been assigned to duty as Commandant. D.n. - Wyatt Aiken for Congress. Citizenship carries with it grave re sponsibilities, of which the right of suf frage is doubtless tho most important. It is the plain duty of every man to vote intelligently, and to do this he must know tho men asking ofllco and among whom he is to choose. Of tho sevon men who are seeking the honor of represent ing the peoplo of this Congressional District, thero is one whom his friends deem it a privilege to support. Those who know Wyatt Aiken best believe that no other candidate for this office pos sesses in a higher degree or in a better proportion the elomouts of manhood which go to make a true representative of the people. He has heart as well as intellect, and no man is of the true type who has not both sentiment and sense. Boing a son of a man who fought in peace and war with hiB every energy for the rights for whioh the Democratic Sarty stands, Wyatt Aiken has always een a close Budont of the political prin ciples of bis father-the principles of genuine Democracy. His discussions of the questions of the day indioate a mind naturally well balanceo and trained to view politioal situations from the right standpoint. The writer has never known a man of bigger heart or nobler impulses. Truly this man is generous to a fault. Do good deeds proceed from a good man? Then there are few better than Wyatt Aiken. Some years ago, through his contribu tion and influence, an unfortunate man of this town was sent to an infirmary and bis lifo prolonged thereby, and 'tis a faot that thin man never kuew whom to thank. In the family of a working man of Cokesbury thore was a bright boy who could not attend sohool because his father was unable to pay the tuition. When the facts of tho case were brought to Wyatt Aiken's attention, he sent the boy to school, paying the tuition him self. That he had a selfish motive in any one of theBO cases, no man who knows the circumstances would even suggest. Within the last few moments the writer has bad in mind more than a half a dozen boys of tho same village, for whom, and in some instances without the knowledge of whom, Wyatt Aiken has procured positions. All of his life he has been seeking opportunities to help those of his fellow-men not as fortu nate as he. "A friend in need is a friend indeed," ls a familiar quotation. Tho subject of .bis sketch has proved him self to be such a friend time and again. Tho man who is true to his friends must be true to li i nisei f, and being true to h?insole, it follows that ho cannot be un true to any man, or to any politioal or othor party. In civil lifo his favors have always been bestowed where they were most needed-upon the poorer peoplo; and during his short military life ho showed himself the friend of tho non commissioned officor and tho private soldier. No man has known the friend ship of Wyatt Aiken |but to stamp it ''pure gold." If he bo a poor mau to day, it is because he has ever been a liberal supporter of all Christian works, and has generously answered every call upon him as a citizen. It is somotimes claimed that a farmer can best repre sent tho farming people. If this be true -and it is questionable.-Wyatt Aiken has the qualification, for while ho lived at Cokesbury, he was a practical farmer. Of the seven candidates offering for a seat in Congross, the voters of this Dis triot should choose tho man who has the mental scope to thoroughly understand the problems of government that may arise, the steadfast ness of purpose and tho soundness of judgment to guarantee a service highly acceptable to his con stituents and to tho best interest of Democracy. Those who know Wyatt Aiken best boliovo ho will servo well his constituents and the Demooratio party at large. In thore another man of the seven who ha* heart and intellect in bet ter proportion? It is the duty of every oitizen to vote for the best man. Wyatt Aiken stands out as a man whom the office might woll seek, and his claims must be considered by every one who wants true mon in office. His good deeds in this community oom mond him to its voters, for in the past he has been tho friend of the so-called oommon man, and this man knows but one way to judge tho future, i. e., by the past. If thero be any praise in tho above, it is but just. Citizen. Cokesbury, S. C., August 20, 1002. A Parson's Noble Act. "I want all the w ?rid to know," write? Rev. C. J. Budlong, of Ashaway, R.

They wish to be saved from defeat if it can possi bly be done. They are now willing to make any pledges of loyalty and support to Tillman. But the Senator ie Just a little too astute. He has been in politics too long to ri 8k his popularity by at tempting at the last moment to over come a tremendous lead. Then it ie doubtful if the Senator really cares to go to the rescue. He may fear that his friends, made too powerful, will at tempt to undermine hts castle Then, again, so far as the guberna torial contest ls concerned, it is credit ably reported that the Senator, weeks ago, said how the wind was blowing and picked Heyward as the winner.
