Mr. Wardlaw tit one time was pastor ol' the Daptist churches in Walhalla ?ind Seneca. The card does not state whether Mr. Wardlaw sought office as a Democrat, but closing his "seven reasons" he says: "Therefore, regardless of your party affiliations, you are asked to vote for Columbus Wardlaw." Writ ten at. the bottom of each of Hie cards sent us is the significant word "Elect ed." On the reverse side of the card appears a photo of Mr. Wardlaw holding up two large fish, and the card states that this is a photo of him engaged "in one of his favorite pastimes." Tho fish look suspicious ly like suckers, but we will not assert that they are. At any rate, he is ton good a man to have as his favorite pastime, even in politics, "fishing for suckers," and we morely mention the fact in order to forestall any such in sinuation should lt over lie sprung on him in his adopted home.

IT.* - - Mrs. Rosa Fahnestock died at her home on Mauldin street boro last Wednesday afternoon about 4. .'10 o'clock, she had boon in declining health for many months, suffering from cancer, and t!:-' end came as a result of th(i weakening of the hean from this cause. Thc deceased was born at Drolled.i. Ireland, on Novem ber "., IS-tft, and caine to America in 1802. On her arrival In this coun try she became housekeeper nt the Screvcil House. Savannah, Ga,., then tho leading hotel of that city. Four years later she married George W. Sargent, who vws steward of the ScVeven House. Holli remained as employees of that hotel for five years aller their marriage, when they ac quired possession as lessees, manag ing thc hotel for some years, until Mr. Sargent's health began to fail, and they were compelled to seek another climate on that account. They moved to Walhalla in ISSfi, immediately af ter relinquishing their hotel business in Savannah. They resided here con tinuously from that date, living on a tarin wost of Walhalla until Mr. Sar gent's death, when Mrs. Sargent moved to town. Mrs. Sargent later was married to Dr. T. G. C.

T. drew, of tho United States embassy, received to-day the German reidy ii. regard to the sinking of the British steamer Rowanmoro and three steamers which were lost in Septem ber. In regard to the Rowanmoro the Gorman government denies that tho submarino fired Oil lifeboats con taining members of the crow and maintains that the men of the Row nnmorc owe their lives to the pre cautions taken by the Germans and the skill with which their operations wore carried out. In respect to two of the remaining steamers in question tho (?crinan gov ernment states they were not sunk by Gorman forces and maintains that the Antwerpen, the third steamer, was destroyed in full accordance with tho rules of international law.
