Kansas City, March 14: Mrs. Mary '' Albert, a grocer of Artnourdale, Kan., tl who carried her money in her apron pocket and boasted to friends that she we . not going to permit the banks to r<?b her. was murdered and roooea in her store by an unidentified negro this K afternoon. It was Mary's eagerness to 1 let people know that she did not trust banks that cost her life. The negro took the savings after cutting her throat with a razor, The special, large pocket in which Mary carried her f wealth of more than a thousand dol- jj lars, was ripped from the apron with the bloody razor. \ ?A newspaper man may have a statue erected in his honor at the National Capitol, a bill having been introduced by Representative Douglass of Ohio, appropriating $20,000 for the purpose. The man was Januarius Aloysius MacGahan. whose descriptions of the atrocities practiced upon the Bulgarians by the Turks attracted the attention of Wm. Gladstone, resulted in ,c Knglish recognition of Bulgaria's freedom. and won for their author the title S of ' The Liberator of the Bulgarians."

New York, March 14: The plan to S1 substitute electric engines for steam ^ locomotives on all of the hundreds of '' trains that enter the Grand Central a station daily became an accomplished a fact today, when the new electric ser- ,T vice on the Harlem railroad between ? this city and White Plains was put into operation. The New Haven road, u which also uses the Grand Central w station for its New York ter- el minal. has used electricity in running "*' its trains into this city for several years. The installation of electricity el by the Harlem railroad was signalized today by the running of an official 11 train between New York and White 11 Plains, carrying several hundred members of the Westchester county Chamber of Commerce, representatives of the New York Central lines, and a w number of invited guests. The train was made up of heavy new steel cars n which the railroad has had construct- n "'i ttononiaiiv for f hp service. ? Former Attorney General Charles J. 05 Bonaparte has been retained to defend c' Pink Franklin, a negro, of Orangeburg, S. C., who is appealing to the United C( States supreme court to have set aside a death sentence imposed upon him. Sl Franklin was convicted in 1907 of hav- c< ing murdered Henry E. Valentine, a al special constable, who was attempting to arrest him on a charge of violating a labor contract. The hearing will be in April. This case excited intense interest when it was heard in Orangeburg in September. 1907, Judge J. C. S( Klugh presiding. The testimony show- ,T ed that Franklin shot Valentine without warning, as the latter passed a door inside the negro's house. Jacob Mooter of Orangeburg, and Adatns of w Columbia, two colored lawyers, de- u< fended Franklin, who was charged with if violating the labor contract law and for whom Valentine had a warrant at h the time of the shooting. Judge Braw- et ley had already declared the labor con- " tract law unconstitutional, but the supreme court of this state, not hav- al ing yet rendered its opinion in reference to the law, Judge Klugh overruled a motion to quash the indictment ^ on the ground that the constable was 111 endeavoring to make an unlawful ar- u' rest. Franklin has been in the Orange- '' burg jail since committing the act. ? Seventy thousand men, women and grown up boys and girls, or half the population of Spokane, Wash., have been enlisted by the One Hundred and n' Fifty Thousand club to participate in u the fourth annual cleaning day, the date for which will be tixed at the next 11 meeting of the organization. C.

Three thousand members of the One Hundred and Fifty Thousand club will assist in the yearly house-cleaning, which work is to be 111 completed in twenty-four "hours, after K which 10,000 pupils from the two high '' and twenty-six grade schools will plant 111 flower anil grass seeds and set out shade trees, vines and shrubs under the t( direction of the city?beautiful commit- " tee of the organization. "We hud more M than 50.000 persons at work last spring," said Mildred Simmons, secretary of the club, "and at the close of the day, Spokane was as neat and clean j. as a new pin. Kvery part of the city f. was covered by volunteer workers, and ^ tin- entire plan was carried out with* - * ? i mil me expenditure <>i a penny eunci pby the city or our club, then under the in direction of Harry J. Neely." ? They gave Mr. James A. Patten, ^ the wheat king, quite a lively time at b< Manchester, England, last Friday. Mr. <i Patten, crossed the Atlantic in unite a ll in hurry on what he called a "vacation." People in this country and abroad, who ti have been observing Mr. Patten, have their own ideas about how much vacation there was in it. At any rate. Mr. in Patten tirst went to Liverpool, and had hi confabs with a number of exchange speculators, and then lie decided that \| he would like to run over to Mam-lies- tl ter. the "c-ottonapojis" of the world. He had heard tiiat if lie should go to Man- jj] Chester, he would be mobbed. The understanding was that a number of ti< gamblers, who had lost in tin* big bull *J(movement during the fall and winter, j? had it in for him: but lie did not be- f; lieve that there would be any violence 1;1 in a civilized country like England. . However, the Manchester people really jii meant business. Hardly had Mr. Pat- fa t- n gotten on the Moor of the exchange, 1,1 before they commenced to hoot and p, jeer at him. and in a few moments tln-y a< attacked him. He was pretty mugiily " used and was hustled out of the build- 'p ing in short order, the mob following til ml becoming more and more aggresive. Kxcept for the Interference of ie police, Mr Patten might have been ' Highly used, Prom Manchester, Mr. | atten went hack over to Liverpool, lie news had already been wired ahead, [e got to the corn exchange, before it losed for the day, and the corn eXliange people undertook to counteract ie Manchester treatment by giving Ir. Patten an ovation. He took a , learner on Saturday for home. The , rh f vacation was over, and there is ason to expect that the meaning of Kit "vacation" will be known within ' tie next few weeks. j (Thr ^lorkvillf inquirer. ntertd at the Hostofflce In Yorkvllle is Mail Matter <?f the Second Class. 1 YORKVILLE. S. C.i TUESDAY. MARCH 15, l(JI0. Wiih.k it is true that the Democrat- , platform calls for an income tax inendment to the constitution, and the outh Carolina general assembly has iven its assent to such an amend- ( tent, it is very well not to forget that the proposition is finally adopted, it ill eventually mean a wonderful hange in the policy and character of lis country. Under the present or- , anization of the Federal government, hat government cannot levy a direct ix of any kind on the citizens of the tate. The Federal government must erive its revenues altogether from inirect taxes, such as duties on imports ( nd excise charges on whisky, tobacco nd other articles on which there is lore or less excuse for taxation on the round of police regulation. Under ( ie present system, there is a fairly ell-defined demarkation of the points here the powers of the Federal gov- ( rnment end, and the powers of the , tate government commence. Up to ( lis time the one great source of rev- ( nue to the government has been the , triff tax. and around this tax also, ave centred the real forces of governlent. Here has been the key to seconal strife, the north against the | >uth. the east against the west. But . ie country has grown to the point . here it is becoming more and more ifflcult to raise sufficient revenues by leans of the tariff. This country is ow caoable of producing at home al- ( lost any commodity as cheap as it in be produced abroad. The time is anting soon when the tariff will no nger figure in the politics of the mntry to such an extent as in the ust. If the income tax amendment ues through, the income tax will be- j >me the principal source of revenue, ad if there is no change in the resent extravagant tendency, the me will come when the burdens of ie income tax will be extended down ' > tiie poorest taxpayer. And when lat time does come, the idea of state avereignty will be nothing but a lemory. < We do not know who this great kick- , * is from Clover, that has been writig to The Enquirer about the contract 1 ith Rock Hill, but we have an idea i s lives not very far from Yorkville. . he is real anxious to know what ados have been made between the 1 tv of Rock Hill and the county, let I Im go to the clerk of the board.

The editorial in Wednesday's Greenilie News detailing the plans of Mr. oilman Wannamaker of New York >r a suitable memorial to the North im rican Indian, has brought out three iteresting South Carolina historical lets. The lirst of these is that at ort Mill, S. C.. a very creditable lonumeiit was erected to the Catawba nlians by Capt. Samuel K. White and Ir. John M. Spratt. Near tin- same >ot where this memorial stands may e found also the lirst monument to be ected jn the soutii to the women of >e Confederacy and the lirst monulent to tiie faithful negro slaves, it is good to know tiiat in these iree particulars South Carolinians ivc been Inst to recognize the unpialed heroism of the women of the otifederacy. the faithfulness of the nest negro slaves and the bravery ml stoie steadfastness of the red lan. The memorial to the Indians at Port ill, which commemorates the deeds of ie Catawba tribe during the French, idian and civil wars, is most appmriate in conception, showing a brave i bronze in lighting attitude. Captain White, through whose muni I'cliec tile 11)<11;tll memorial was crt'ii- i 1. several years sign. Hi; was a j stinguished man in his community, . ing president of the Fort Mill Manuicturing company, and one of the 1 rgest land owners in York county, i e was born on the lands where he | nistied his days, the same lands hav- ( ig been owned by his father, grundtiier and great-grandf:ither. Some '. ids concerning his career are inter- . ding. After receiving military trainig at the King's Mountain Military adeiny. tie Arsenal at Colunibin. and ie Citadel at Charleston, he spent a i nt of three years, lxr.s. lsr.it. |X60. in J e.xas and Mexico. Returning hone in < ie latter pail of 1X60. Captain si White volunteered for the war in 1861. H entered tile Confederate service as i lieutenant, was soon promoted to a captaincy, afterward receiving an almost fatal wound. When the war ceased, Captain White returned to Fort Mill, and resumed extensive farming operations, later investing in manufacturing anil commercial enterprises. Himself a patriot, he was quick to recognize the heroism of others. And these monuments at Fort Mill today are as much a tribute to his memory, as to the patriotism and heroism they represent.?Greenville News. All of the foregoing is substantially correct, except that the venerable Samuel E. White is still alive, in fairly good health, and never loses an opportunity to do Rood. The lamented John M. Spratt, who like Captain White, was a citizen who was a credit to any civilization. passed away just one year ago. Although all who have been so fortunate as to know these most estimable gentlemen, are satisfied that neither had any selfish motive in the prosecution of their work of patriotism and love, the News is correct in the suggestion that the monuments will ever serve as tributes to the memory >f both of them. "To Build Up a Town." If there is any more important work in this world than that of building up waste places in either town or country, we are at a loss to know what it is. for in the whole range of human activity, we can conceive of nothing more useful or meritorious. The greatest advantage 01 cummunity life is the opportunities afforded for co-operation, and the success of community life generally, depends upon the extent to which this advantage Is utilized: but it must not be forgotten that community life has its pitfalls, and that every man who says, "Come, let us pool our resources, and create a joint benefit," does not have any real intention of going in for a square, joint divide. Of course, there is no question of the fact that more can be accomplished by co-operation in any kind of productive enterprise than by individual effort, and where the parties to such an enterprise are all on the square, each willing to do his full part without a thought of attempting to take advantage of the others, this is always the best way to go about anything: but where there is any reasonable ground to suspect sinister designs on the part af any of the movers, those who love straight and honest methods will always do well to hold aloof. This writer remembers an incident af his childhood, when two small brothers, one some years older than the other, were each given a nickel. 1'he younger brother did not know the lifTerence between a nickel and a suspender button, while the elder understood that five cents was always good for pindars or candy. The elder brother explained to the younger how it would be a good scheme to plant the coins in the garden and raise a crop >f nickels. This was done with great care, and when the two went to the spot later on to see whether the seed had sprouted, it developed that the coins had disappeared entirely. The cider brother explained that some bad boy had been there and dug up the seeds, or maybe the pigs had rooted them out of the ground and eaten them. The greatest town builder in the world is the intelligent, energetic, hard worker, who sticks close to his work tnd creates steady growth and develjpment in his own business. He makes money with more or less rapidity, his operations expand, he gives employment to others, and their work and wages contribute still further to the purposes of his own efforts. The most prosperous and progressive towns are the ones which have the largest proportion of workers of the kind deseribwl Of course, it is a fact that the suc;ess of co-operative efforts depends in urge measure, indeed almost entirely, >n capable, intelligent leadership and iirection. There can be no success without this. But it must not be forgotten that it is absolutely essential :hat his leadership be not only intelligent and capable; but it must also be loncst and generous, seeking the common benetit even more than personal ;uin. It must not be of the kind that would show the younger brother how ;o grow money by burying nickels. There are in every community men, who, though they have never tried to lo anything in the line of really honest [production, have spent years in the business of trying to exploit their felow citizens for their own benefit. It s a common tiling for such men to involve the "good of tlie community," building up the town," and the "pubic welfare," but it invariably happens tt the windup of each scheme, that f there has been any benefit at all, t has gone to the promoter and most >f his dupes are none the wiser. On lie contrary, they innocently console ;henisolves with the consciousness of - 1 -111,1 smnil readv to ;i?lUl IlllCIIIIVlin, ?? contribute their nickels again at the lext planting. Also, in every community there are nen who have shown by what they lave done l"<>r themselves in an honest, egitimate way what they might be ible to do for others. Such men as a ule do not volunteer to manipulate >ther people's money. They are sonieimes fooled once by nickel planters; ?ut seldom are they fooled by the same leople twice. They always stand ready ;o co-operate in anything that promses real beiietit to the coiniiiunity; jut they d not generally press their claims to leadership, only assuming uch position when actually urged by eople whose confidence they coniuand. in ninety-nine cases out of a luudred, they make good with successful management, and where their eadership actually fails, they theinalves are invariably tile heaviest" losers. Community co-operation is always mportant and town building is always -uiiiiiieiHlable; but tlu* community that aiders troni a preponderance of ex>1<>it?*rs ..f continued reputation for aking. ami a majority of suckers, who irt- unable to Kara anything, even titer repeated experiences with the louk, is not in the most hopeful avenue >f progress and prosperity.

THE DEATH ROLL. Miss Lee Williams of Yorkvllle, died In Asheville, N. C., last Saturday, after a long illness with tuberculosis, aged about 37 years. The deceased was the second of three daughters, left by the late Henry Williams, formerly of Yorkvllle. The youngest. Miss Pearl, died a number of years ago, leaving Miss Lee and her older sister, Miss Willie, alone. Both continued In Yorkvllle, Miss Lee becoming a most proficient dressmaker and Miss Willie, a capable and popular saleslady. They were getting along nicely in the world until a few years ago, when Miss Lee's health began to fail, and about eighteen months ago, she went to Asheville, in the nope of being able to check the ravages of consumption. Miss Willie went with her, and during all her tedious suffering and decline, ministered to her with sisterly devotion that was beautiful and touching. Mr. H. L. Allen, Miss Clara Allen, and Miss Sallie Spencer Adickes of Asheville, Mr. H. C'. Strauss of Spartanburg, came with the body to Yorkville, and Prof. W. H. Hand, a cousin, and Dr. O. F. Hart of Columbia, and Mr. Frank Gwin of Hickory, N. C., came to Yorkville to be present at the funeral. The funeral services took place in the Firs? Presbyterian church on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and were conducted by Rev. E. E. Gillespie. The interment took place in Rose Hill cemetery. Mr. J. Leonldas Moore, a well-known and highly esteemed citizen of York county, died in Asheville, N. C., last Sunday, in the 77th year of his age. Mr. Moore, formerly lived in the neighborhood of Bethesda church, and during many years of his life, was regarded as one of the leading men of York county. He was a candidate for the ..oo.o ,,f nlorL- nf the fonrt iifter the re tirement of Mr. Joseph K. Wallace In 1888: but was defeated. Afterward, however, lie became a member of the county board of commissioners and <1 id excellent stivice in that capacity. He had been living in Ashevillc for some months, previous to his death. He leaves a widow, who was a Miss Miller of Fairfield, and six children, as follows: Messrs. W. H.. Jesse M. and George Moore of Rock Hill; Misses Mary and Eunice Moore of Asheville, and Mrs. White of Charleston. The funeral took place at Rethesda today at noon. Mrs. C. E. Templeton, died at her home in the Zadok neighborhood, Sunday afternoon of rheumatic trouble that affected her heart. The deceased was a daughter of the late W. J. Stephenson and was the widow of the late J. M. Templeton. She leaves seven ehiiiiren three sons and four daugh ters. Thr sons are Vernon, Lindsay and William, and the daughters are Mrs. Lee Pursley. Misses Irene, Ella and Margaret. The funeral took place at Beersheba yesterday. THE CARNIVAL CROWD. "Every man has his gifts," declared old "Leather Stocking," and "every man to his calling," observed sonic no else, and these sayings explain about as well as anything else, how people can be content with such an occupation as is followed by the members of that carnival crowd that was here last week. Judged by their conduct while in Yorkvllle, and that is about all anybody has to go by, this carnival crowd is not a bad lot. They were sober, respectful and well behaved. There was no short-changing, no pocket picking and in fact, nothing else that is generally held to be reprehensible; but all the same, they present material for an interesting study of certain phases of human nature. There are different kinds of people in the lot, of course. It is quite possible tiiat among them there are criminals, who have done time, and others who are buzzing about more or less aimlessly, always looking for an opportunity t<> get into mischief. This is probable. It is certain, however, that there are others who stick as closely to their particular occupations as do permanently located business people, and who take as much pride in their respective callings. One man with the aggregation, who runs a cane rack, has been in the business for years. He told the reporter that his father and mother ran cane racks before him, and he claimed to have himself plied his business in every state in the Union, and in most all the more important towns and cities in the different states. He travels from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and goes each year from a fair at Seattle, Wash., to the state fair at Columbia. He says he has not missed a Columbia fair for the past ten or lifteen years. He stood faithfully by Ills cane rack all the week, and altholigh a few pitched rings at his canes, it is doubtful If he took in enough money to pay the price jf his concession. But he did not complain. He said that he has taken in as high as nny uoiiars a nay ami uu-u again he has gone a whole week with but a few dollars. Ordinarily, Yorkvllle is classed by the carnival people as a good town for the "merry-go-round." The merry-gorounds attached to all the carnivals that have been here have done well. Hut last week the business of the inerry-go-rouml was bad. The machine ilid not take in enough money to pay the wages of the people in charge of it. to say nothing of the other expenses. Just why, it would be difficult to say. Maybe the people are tired of "merryjo-rounds," and maybe the people who like them did not have the money. The trained animal show also met ivith hard lines. It was not much of i show. It consisted of three lions and m educated pony. The lions were inclined to be more or less ugly and difficult to manage and they did not seem .. irrwiw a trreat deal, anvwav. People ,vent in freely at first, but somehow :hey were not pleased enough to give fooil reports, and business was dull. The educated pony appealed to some >eople quite strongly: but the show did lot do a great deal of business. The ,-oung man who owns this show, is a son of the originator <>f the street fair idea. It was just after the World's Fair at Chicago. He and another fellow got up an aggregation of 'midway" attractions, started around the country with them, and for several years cleaned up $25,000 a year. He died and left his money to his widow and son. Both went through with what they had in a short time, and the son is trying to get a new hold with his wild animal show. The manager, Mr. Simpson, is quite a capable business man, and is also very agreeable company. He seems to be disposed to do the square thing with everybody, and notwithstanding his bad luck last week, paid all his bills. He said that his receipts in Yorkvllle, were about three or four hundred dollars less than his expenses, which, of course included the amount he paid to the military company. But he had no complaint to make about the matter. The moving picture show man had a good business all the week, and as his expenses are comparatively small, must have crime out ahead. The "human roulette" contrivance was also very popular, especially with the young people, for whom it is especially intended. and also made money. At several times during the week, particularly on Tuesday. Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday nights, the grounds were thronged with people; but spending of money was rather slim in proportion to the crowds. Most of the people seemed to he content to stand and watch the other people to see what they were doing?they were just watching the crowds. The shows pulled up stakes during Saturday night and left on Sunday for Monroe, N. L\, where they will spend the present week. JOSEPH F. WALLACE DEAD. Mr. Joseph F. Wallace, died at his home in Yorkville yesterday morning at 2 o'clock, after a long period of declining health, the end coming rather through the general breaking down of the system Incident to old age, than from any specific organic disease. Prominently in the public eye and mind for more than a generation as a trusted official and leading citizen, Mr, Wallace is a man about whom it would be difficult to give any important facts with which the readers of The Enquirer are not already familiar, and there is little else for this sketch than a running outline of the main facts about his long and useful life. Mr. Wallace was born in the Clay Hill section of York county on December 4, 1832. His father was James Wallace, a blacksmith, who in his day had enjoyed a wide reputation for more than ordinary skill and ability in his calling. His mother was Margaret E. Wallace, and her mother was a sister of the famous Samuel Adams, who was for forty years pastor of Bethel church. Although his parents were well-to-do, as well-to-do was understood in those days, the boy's educational opportunities were limited to the rather poor facilities that were afforded by the subscription schools of the period. However, he was studious and quick of mind and made line headway in nit- various rudimentary Drancnes, and laid a good foundation for the acquirement of a broad and extensive knowledge of men and things that came to him in later years. In addition to his blacksmith shop, Mr. Wallace's father ran a farm, and the son worked on the farm until he was about 20 years of age, when he began to learn the mercantile business as a clerk, lirst for the late J no. Lesslie Wright, at Hill's Old Iron Works, and afterward for the late John L. Watson in the same locality. After having been with Mr. Watson two years, in March, 1858, he went to Rusk county, Texas, and worked there as a salesman until 1861, when he retprned to South Carolina and volunteered in the service of his state. He went into the war as a member of company B, Fifth South Carolina, T. C. Beckham, now of Rock Hill, ( captain and Asbury Coward, now of Orangeburg, colonel. Col. Coward made him sergeant-major of the regi- ( ment, and he acted in that capacity un- ; til Longstreet's corps was ordered to i :ist Tennessi'f. when he went into the ranks, and continued to do duty as a private soldier until a skirmish at ; Bean's Station in December, 1863, he received a bullet in his right arm and was incapacitated from further service. In January 1866, Mr. Wallace stood for clerk of the court in a special election, in which the late S. E. Moore was the only other candidate. There were I 630 votes cast in the election. Of ? these, Mr. Wallace received 3i?'J and < Mr. Moore 231. Only white voters par- 1 ticipated. Then followed the long con- I tinned political mix-up, incident to re- ' construction, lasting until 1876; but Mr. Wallace held on to the office through J it all to the satisfaction of a large ma- i jority of the entire people, and did not finally give it up until 1888, wnen he retired voluntarily. It was generally ' conceded at the time by almost the 1 entire public that had he desired to ' continue in the office, he could have i b? en overwhelmingly elected against all coiners; but having tilled the posi- i tion with honor and credit during a i period of twenty-two years, he was I ready to give way to others. i After retiring from the office of clerk ' of the court, Mr. Wallace devoted him- ' self to private business; but was never < able to eut loose entirely from public t affairs. His many friends and ac- t luaintances continued to make use of 1 his legal and general business knowl- < edge on up as long as lie was able to i be about. 1 The first evidence of failing health ? came a few years ago in the shape of ; a slight stroke of paralysis. He recov- t ered partially from this and bore up t bravely, continuing about Ills daily I businesses, and continuing the practice J lie loved so well of helping people who t needed his help, until at last, unable 1 to hold out any longer, he reached the i mint a few months ago. when lie was < no longer able to go on the street. i During his Illness, his many friends i were quite attentive. He continued to receive and converse with them up to t a few weeks ago. when at last lie was e compelled to keep his bed. He lost I consciousness Sunday afternoon and t death came as stated, at - o'clock yes- t terday morning. " Mr. Wallace leaves two daughters, <1 Mrs. W. F. Marshall of Yorkville, and 1 Mrs. W. W. Dixon of Wlnnsboro. 1 The funeral services took place at c the First Presbyterian church this " morning at 11 o'clock, and were con- t ducted by Rev. E. E. Gillespie, the pas- c tor. The officers of the church acted K as pall bearers. The interment was a in Rose Hill cemetery. a LOCAL LACONICS. Wind Up of the Clubs.

Unveiled in Statuary Hall, Washingington, Last Saturday. By Associated Press. Washington, March 12.?The Capitol was the scene of a notable event today when in the presence of a distinguished assemblage, a statue of John C. C'alnoun, the great Soutn Carolina separatist, was unveiled in statuary hall. '1 he unveiling ceremony took place at 11 o'clock, and was conducted wnolly by South Carolinians. The cords holding together the drapery around the marble ligure were loosened by Mrs. Bratton and Miss Gist, both daughters of the Palmetto state, and immediately afterwards the verbal ceremonies were begun. Governor Ansel presided and former Governor Mauldin delivered the principal oration. 'J he statue is a bold piece of work, depicting its subject in strident attitude. It is placed on the south side of statuary hull between the ligures of Ktnen Allen and Lewis Cass, and directly. if not detiantly, faces the efligy of Webster, Calhoun's great antagonist, which stands calmly on its pedestal on the north side of the hall. Ceremonies of Acceptance. The ceremonies of acceptance took in tlui uunuto un/1 hniwn tiftwr tha completion of the exercises in the hall. It was in the two houses that the representatives of the two anti-belligerent states met once more to bury the hatchet. Senator Lodge and Representative McCall, speaking for the New England commonwealth, and Senator Smith and a number of South Carolina representatives for that state. An address was made in the senate also by Senator Chamberlain of Oregon. Messrs. Lodge and McCall spoke eulogistically of the personality of the subject of the exercises. The Calhoun family was represented at all tne proceedings by Patrick and John C. Calhoun, grandsons of the statesman, and by several great-grandchildren. They occupied especially assigned seats in all places. In the senate the president's and vice president's rows were reserved for them. The senate exercises began at 12 o'clock and those of the house at 2 o'clock. In the house in addition to Mr. McCall, addresses were made by Representative Lamb of Virginia and Representatives Aiken, Finley, Lever, Johnson and Ellerbe of South Carolina. Senator Smith. In his speech, Senator Smith attributed Calhoun's attitude to his love of tlie Union, saying: "He loved the Union and it vexed his soul to know that the pride and honor of his state was being so humiliated that he foresaw that unless some measure could be adonted by which the oppression might be relieve'!, it would lead to a disunion which to him, was the greatest of all possible calamities." Representative Aiken of South Carolina, who represents the district of South Carolina from which Mr. Calhoun was sent to congress, sketched Calhoun's career, and compared him to Lincoln. Representative Aiken. "The two most conspicuous figures ?and those who will survive longest in the memory of mankind?of that greatest contest over the contlicting theories of our government are John C. Calhoun and Abraham Lincoln," he said. "The achievements of Mr. Lincoln are viewed through the glamor of success and the halo of the martyr, while the cause for which Mr. Calhoun labored?the perpetuation of the Union as it came from the hands of the fathers?went down in defeat. "Notwithstanding defeat and disaster, he continues to be regarded as the Aristotle of American politics; and with the mind of a seer and thought of a hero he survives in the respect of his countrymen, wept, honored and sung. "If he had been endowed with less integrity of purpose and more policy, he could surely have been president. That great honor we believe he laid down, because he would be the tool of no man, and because its experience ' would have sacrificed principles, the establishment of which had consumed ' the greatest part of his life." Representative McCall. "In point of intellect and in purity of character," said Representative McCall of Massachusetts, in accepting the statue. "Calhoun ranks among the very greatest of our statesmen, and, * although his name is more conspicuously identified with the theory of nul- j lification, a theory to which his great | power of logic gave practical force as ( a political principle, more than once | in critical times he devoted himself to preventing a rupture between the cen- < tral and the state governments and of maintaining the Union. He was ( throughout his whole life devoted to his native state." Senator Lodge's speech was an eulo- ( gy of Calhoun, the man. , Senator Lodge. "We do well to place here a statue of Calhoun," said the senator. "I would J that he could stand with none but his ' peers about him, and not elbowed and crowded by the temporary notorious ' find the illustrious obscure. His statue is here of right. He was a really great ' man, one of the greatest figures of our history. He was the greatest man South Carolina has given to the nation. He was one of the most remarkable men, one of the greatest minds that ] American public 'ife can show." MERE-MENTION. t Paul M. Doyul, a clerk of the Atlanta.

Cditor of The Yorkville Enquirer: Tou will confer a favor by giving me jpace in which to make an observation ibout the paragraph in Friday's issue >f The Enquirer, with reference to the proposed two thoroughfares. I regret irery much that the thing should become a bone of contention as it will >e; but it seems to me that the York;ille delegation should have been con:ent with requesting the county board >f commissioners to work out from the county seat, without attempting to say hat the north and south road should )e c lstructed" first. It is an indlspu aoie laci iiiai mere is more inimc ue;ween Rock Hill and Yorkvillc, than ictween any other two points in the ounty, and it seenis to me that this s a good reason why this part ol the vork should have priority. Then as I iee it, there is as much reason why the vork should go on to the western side, ts that it should go north or south; but shall not attempt to offer any dictaion in the matter.
