people. Prayer has power with God and there Is good authority for saying that the effectual fervent prayer of a * righteous man avails much. Much has been said of him as a man and a citizen, the purity of his life, his stand for the right on moral questions, and his wholesome influence generally. For that reason his departure is a public loss. Unregenerate human nature is not only corrupt, but it is corrupting, and the influence of the godly is the element which prevents the tendency of society to utter corruption. For these reasons his loss is one that is not local but public. We all feel a sense of bereavement and can unite in the praver. "Help. Lord, for the godly man ceaseth. for the faithful fall from among the children of men." Rev. A. S. Rogers, pastor of the Associate Reformed church of Rock Hill saia: The relation which I sustain to the deceased is a tender one. I met him when a school-boy at Huntersville, N. C., afterward at Erskine college. When he accepted his first pastoral charge he became my pastor, and when I entered the seminary he presented my name to the presbytery as a student of theology. When I settled in the active work of the ministry I became his neighbor. When t\e led the present wife to the marriage altar I had the pleasure and privilege of being closest to him. and yesterday when the curtain of death closed about him I was one of the grieved witnesses. Hence the dark shadow that has crossed your pathway has crossed mine: the burden that is weighing on you I feel: the bitter cup placed to your lips I have supped. Truly your sorrow is mine, and my heart goe? out to you In the deepest sym pathy. In the short time I am expected to sneak I can say very little on the life of the deceased. However. *e needs no eulogy from me. I need not speak of him as a citizen. Every one present knows that he was the highest type of a citizen. I need not speak of his home life as a husband, father and son. Those who constitute the familv circle, know too well how thoughtful, and kind and affe;tion> ate he was here. I need not sneak of him as a pastor. His parishioners know better than I can tell hew he brought light to their darkened homes, peace to their troubled bosoms. and joy to their sorrowing hearts. There is one thing I would like to mention in this connection and that Is he was your pastor not only at home but away from home. So often members of one church criticise those of another, but I observed that Pro. Ewart was ever ready to defend the members of his pastoral charge. Like the Master in the Garden he was ready to throw _ over your weaknesses an aoologetlc ^ garb. As your pastor he was faithful. loval. and devoted alwavs and everywhere. I need not speak or him as a preacher, yon who listened to his messages know better how he preached than I can describe. However there are two things that impressed me about him as a preacher. One was that he was a student of the Scriptures. He cared little for science and philosophy. The Pible was to him the Pook of books, the Word of the living Ood. It contained every need of the human soul. He felt in the language of the poet: "If thou art merrv here are airs, melancholy here are prayers. Tf studious here are things writ Which may deserve thy ablest wit: ^ Tf hungry here is food divine. If thirsty nectar, heavenly wine." The other thing that impressed me was his power in prayer. The last prayer that I heard him offer was at the installation service at Xeely's Creek, and this was the impression he made op me there as elsewhere. I regarded him as one of the best preachers in our svnod, but I thought I he excelled in orayer. A man who was so powerful in public prayer k must have lived and moved in the A empire of secret prayer. I bel'eve W these two things explain his life. The r man who listens to God constantly i through the Scriptures and who ' sneaks to Ood constantly through ^ prayer will have feet that /will bouno with zeal, hands that will touch with gentleness and helpfulness, lips that will sneak with symnathv and sweetness. a face that will light un with cheer and compassion, a heart that will beat with tenderest and strongest love, a life like his. "Peautiful toiler thy work all done, Reautlfnl sonl into glorv gone. Beautiful life with its crown now 1 won. f'nd giveth thee rest. Re?t from all sorrows, and watchines. and fears. Rest from all possible sighing and tea rs. rRest through Ood's endless, wonderful vears." Following the remarks of Mr. Rogers the congregation sang the 55th Rsalm. and aft?r praver hv Rev. R. Tv. Robinson the congregation proreeded to the cemeterv. After the interment. Rev. Rr Oallowav dismissed the sad assemblage with a benediction. LOCAL LACONICS, i We Will Send The Enquirer K Frnm this date to January 1st. 1909. for 70 cents. m pAw*re Windstorm. ? There was quite a severe windstorm I In the Black's mill neighborhood, two miles west of Yorkville last Tuesday afternoon and crops were blown about conslderablv. Mr. N. S. Black's prize acre of corn suffered bv being blown down: but as the grain is nearlv mature he hones to be able to use means to save it. Slump In Contracts. There was another lively mixup on the New York Cotton Exchange yes' terdav with the result that October futures went down $2.50 a bale, and losses and gains of the day are estimated at from $500,000 to $1,000,000. The battle has not yet been concluded, ^ and how it will come out Is still a matter of conjecture. Uvermore. the most conspicuous figure in the fight was not talkinr yesterday, and it is not definitely known whether he is a . winner or a loser. Workers From the Outside. Rook Hill Record: A Mr. Webb, of Aiken county, and a Mr. Xance. a former operative at the Manchester Mills, in this city, have been In Rock ? Hill for a week making speeches in the various mill settlements in favor of Please and. incidentally, trying to A stir up a sentiment here in favor of the re-establishment of a dispensary in York county. Yet the Blease candldates in York county deny that tiie dispensary is an issue in this campaign. These two men are urging the mill people to vote for Please and all that Blease stands for. Blease admittedly stands for the dispensary, and it is a well-known fact that the liquor houses are furnishing the money to carry on the dispensary propaganda all through the state. These men ? hold meetings every night in the mill districts, urging the election of Blease and all the candidates in York county who are standing on B.ease's liquor platform. Yet Mr. Stewart and Mr. Wilson deny that the dispensary is an issue in the York county campaign. But don't let that statement fool you. The dispensary crowd is working day and night to regain ascendency in South Carolina. A Liqron Loving Pkopi.k. ? Mr. Cal Caughnian. who is working in the interest of Candidate Blease, is reA ported to have said in a speech at Chapin that "the Lexington county people are a liquor loving people," and to have promised that if Blease is elected governor, dispensaries will be established at Chapin and other places in the county. And so appeal Is be 4 ing made to "liquor loving people." We might have guessed as much. AT THE CHURCHES. BAPTIST. Rev. I. G. Murray, Pastor.

Columbia, S. C., Aug. 15, 1908. This is to certify that although our names appear among the signatures to the endorsement of Gen. Eoyd, we have all along been supporters of Col. Thompson and are doing everything in our power to elect him. Jacob C. Herlong, C'apt. Co. D, 2nd Inf., N. G. S. C. L. At. vvingaru, First Lieut. Co. D. 2nd Inf.. X. G. S. C. Columbia, S. C., Aug. 15, 1908. To the Democratic Voters of South Carolina. Since the last campaign meeting, which was held at Anderson on the 8th. there has appeared in the newspapers an advertisement containing the names of a number of militia officers, who were alleged to be endorsing Gen. Boyd. Five of these names were those of officers of my own regiment (the Second). Lieut. Tompkins of Edgefield has already proved to the satisfaction of the people of the state that his name was used without any authority from him: and I now call your attention to the foregoing statement from Capt. Herlong and Lieutenant Wingard of Columbia, two more of the five officers of this regiment, who were named in Gen. Boyd's advertisement. These three officers hot only expect to vote for me, but they are doing everything in their power to ensure my election. With the elimination of these three from Gen. Boyd's advertisement, it is seen that he really has with him only 40 j per cent of those he claims from the I Second regiment. There are 56 officers [ in this regiment: of that number 54 are supporting me and only two are supporting nun. In this connection it might be well for Gen. Boyd to publish, for the information of the people of the state, a list of the militia officers who failed to respond when the request was made of them thaf they endorse his administration. Henry T.

L. R. Williams. Mr. Rhett and the Crum Matter. Columbia, August 19.?The letter of Mr. R. G. Rhett to President Roosevelt, in regard to the appointment of Crum, referred to in the campaign as containing expressions sympathetic with the Republican party, has been submitted to Gen. Wilie Jones, State Democratic Chairman, who has given a statement saying that he found no such sentiments therein. The private letter books of Mr. Rhett from October, 1902 to January, 1908 have been submitted to two distinguished lawyers of Charleston, Messrs. H. A. M. Smith and James Simons, who state that they find therein only this one letter from Mr. Rhett to the president and who agree with Gen. Jones in his statement, saying fur+ + t\r\ onnnnnt nprtain n^F sonal references to a lady who was affected by the Crum appointment, Mr. Rhett la correct in his refusal to publish the letter. The statements follow: Columbia, S. C., Aug. 18, 1908. Mr. James A. Hoyt, Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir:?At your request as a representative of Mr. R. G. Rhett, candidate for the United States senate, I have read carefully a letter to the president of the United States, signed by Mr. Rhett, and dated Nov. 21st, 1902, in his private letter book, submitted to me by you, in which Mr. Rhett protests strongly against the appointment of Dr. Crum as collector of the port of Charleston. I can see nothing in this letter which would indicate anything Republican or any tendency towards the Republican party on the part of Mr. Rhett. The letter appears to me to be simply a strong protest by a Democrat against the appointment of a negro to an office in South Carolina. Very truly yours, Wilie Jones, Chairman. Charleston, Aug. 17, 1908. Hon. R. G. Rhett, Charleston, S. C. Dear Sir:?At your request we beg 4 Krtu/* Avamlno/l VAIir lO say Ulttl ? o nave; CAaiiuuvu j v??. copy letter-books covering: the period from October, 1902, to January 1908, and find therein but one letter addressed to President Roosevelt. This letter (and you assure us this is the only letter in that period) is dated November 21st, 1902, and was written at the time of the contemplated appointment by President Roosevelt of W. D. Crum as collector at the port of Charleston, and is written in the most strenuous terms of protest against that appointment. We have read the letter carefully, and find in the letter absolutely nothing to the effect, as stated in the affidavit of Mr. John P. Grace, that you were a "Republican and reproached the president because by the appointment of negroes to prominent office he would render impossible and ineffective the work of yourself in advancing the interests of the Republican party in South Carolina." Your letter in no way. shape or form intimates that you are or propose to be a Republican, and the protest to the president is couched upon the theory that the appointment of negroes to office in the south was most unfortunate for them, inasmuch as it simply tended to increase the friction and lesson the possibility of harmonious existence; upon whose good will the best possibilities for the future of the negro depended. There are in the letter allusions of a very personal character to individuals ( a lady, for instance) which we think it would be a breach of propriety on your part in this matter now to publish.

I have been making the unqualified statement in these columns for the past nine years that the Mutual Benefit Life Ins. Co.. of Newark. N. J., had a record for equitable treatment of policy-holders unapproached by any company in the world and that it issued more liberal policies and carried them at less cost than any other company. I have always been able to prove this when asked to do so, and am today. Don't you think that before accepting a policy from any other company, regardless of claims of agents, it Is to your Interest to ask to be shown wherein the Mutual Benefit excells all others? You are really more Interested than I am, whether you realize it or not. SAM M. GRIST, Special Agent. Method and Economy.
