Where Wann Welcome ls Always Heady for Col. Thompson. A press dispatch from Columbia says: A distinguished visitor In Colum bia, and ono who is always welcomed I by a largo number of admiting friends on the rare occasions when he comes, was Col. Robert A. Thomp son, lawyer, Journalist and a man of affairs In Walhalla., and the sole sur vivor of the South Carolina Seces sion Convention of 1800. Fifty years have passed slnco tho December day that Col. Thompson was one of those whose signatures cut for the time the bonds between Soujli Carolina and the United StOB and In years he is no longer yc^JJr, hut his eye and mind are aloft, and ho ls a citizen active and w "-riling for the good of the Com monwealth now as ever, lt ls good to know him and to meet him-this line, clettr-headed gentleman who has served the State so well and whoso heart ls beating as warmly now as half a century ago In sympa thy with the best of her aspirations, whoso personality ls Itself a teacher and reminder to young men of what their fathers believed In and defend ed with high hearts and strong arms. Col. Thompson, of course, found keenly Interesting his visit to the city, where the Secession Convention first met (later adjourning to Char leston) and which h rs expanded Into a far greater, richer and more popu lous city. In Walhalla, Col. Thomp son ts the nestor of the bar, and there ore few, if any, older lawyers in South Carolina. For many years he was an editor and owner of the Keowee Courier, ever one of the best and most verile of the South Caro l?naj|jouriials-a reputation which it \v(w sustains. Col. Thompson Is faithful, as are all Southerners, in affection for the "Lost Cause." There ls nothing in him of the apologist and cringer, but he rejoices In the good feeling that pervades the American republic. When President Taft visited the State and was entertained at the capital hy the representative people of South Carolina last November he sent the President his greetings by telegraph-an Incident which con tributed marked pleasure to the President's tour of South Carolina.

Your loyal subjects love you well; The world In songs of praises swell. Your nation mourns to-day.
