AX a meeting of the' Board of Trustees at Clemson College last Thursday night I.ev. Henry S. Hartzog was elected President of that institution. Hr. Hart zjg is a native of Barn well County, and in 31 years old.

He has bean teaching school in this State lor four yearn, and is the principal of the graded school at Johnston. 'Mr. John Hinkle, a Baltimore lawyer, finds the four conspicuous faults of mod ern legislation to be these: "First, the excessive number of bills introduced; second, the quantity of hasty and slipshod bills passed and actually placed upon the Blatote books, or requiring the use of the Executive veto: third, the tendency to lo ad laws and local exceptions to general laws;; fourth, the nullification of constitu fiDnal provisions as to the date when laws bicorne operative." With possible ex on of the fourth all these are familiar in this latitude. Greater New York, now the second lar gest city under one government in the world, is trying to rise above politics. The Citizens' Union have organized to g ve the new municipality a clean gov ernment, and they think that they cm do tliis by nominating a man who is not a pirt'izan and not prominently identified vsith any political organization. Seth Low, President of Columbia College, is p resented as such a man. The Republi cans and Democrats are fighting to draw purty lines, each party having its own candidate. If ie thought that tho Citi zen's Union will draw principally from the Republicans, and weaken their party more than the Democratic, and that the chances, therefore, are in favor of the reg u lar Democratic candidate. /~\8q long as one enjoys position and dis tioT?km; so long asi one has wealth; so long as one is successful in a worldly sense, so long do those who claim to be friends flock about the individual.

Just as the summer insects gilrTer-about an electric light on a sum mer night, so do our friends surround us so long as we are prosperous and happy. But let the true test of friendship come; let ine man be tried by tribulations and er gulfed by misfortune, then? What is the experience of most men and women? Do the friends who besmear us with adulation, and assure us again and again of their everlasting fidelity, stay __wjith us or depart from u&? Even if there are some to whom we have extended bel and comfort, do thoy always prove true s to their duty? We have all of us felt the serpent's tooth of ingratitude. We have every one learned what it is to be sacri ficed by those whom we supposed were o'jrfrionds.andfrom whom,in times ofad versity, we deserved the very best they could give. Five Men Lynched. 'Versailles, Ind., Sept. 15.?A mob of infuriated men last night lynched Lyle Levi, Bert Andrews, Clifford Gordon, William Jenkins and Hiney Sch?ler. i They were taken from the authorities. The men had been arrested for burgla ry. Frequent robberies had enraged the citizens of the cone ty and the mob was composed of citizens from Milam, Suman and other towns. The mob on horseback entered the town an hour after midnight and called ont tJailer Kenan, who, upon refusing to give up the keys, was then overpower ed Tho mob soon pushed its way into the cell rooms and in their impatience fired on the five prisoners and then dragged thorn to a tree a square irom the jail door anJ-nung them up. Andrews and Gordon have already boon wounded, having been shot several times while attempting to rob astore at Correct last Saturday night. Schuler was in jail for attempting burglary and Lev! and Jenkins had teen indicted by the grand jury for robbery. They had failed to .rive rjond and were put in jail last eve ning. It was thought that Levi and Scbuler were both dead from the shots fired by the mob when they were taken from jail. The bandages on the wounded men were found later thi s morning on the streets through which the men were dragged along. Lyle Levi was an old soldier and, bore on his face wounds received during the civil war while fighting for the Union. None of the lyuchers are known. They all came from a distance, presumably from the neighborhood of Correct, wteretbetwo men were arrested Satur day. Versailles is a town of some *00 people.

Dallas, Texas, September Ni.?Dr. T. B. Carter, of Kaufman, and Charles P. Rojselh of Abbott, two of the most prominent men of that section, who had hitherto been friends and business asso ciates, shot and killed each other at Ab bott. They met yesterday afternoon to dispose of some business relative to a land transaction. The settlement result Itn a quarrel and an agreement to meet >tt for-the final settlement. At the both arrived at the depot exchanging a number " and died within X Family Reunion. Mr. Editor: On Tuesday, the 7th inst, a most happy day was spent at the home of our venerable friend, Mr. J- B. Pruitt, who lives in Marlin Township, 13 miles southeast of .the city of Anderson. That day had been selected by his children to meet and speed one more day at the old homestead and have a family reunion. It was agreed by all tbe members of the family to congregate together near the old home and take the venerable parents by surprise. Neither Mr. or Mrs. Pruitt knew anything of the proposed occasion. Bright and early on the day set apart the children, with their respective families, assembled about one-half o? a mile distant from the old home and formed a proces sion, the oldest couple and their little ones taking the front, and so on down to the youngest until all were in line. In this way they advanced on the old home- The eged father and mother soon saw a long line of carriages and buggies coming down the road. They were amized and wonder ed what was tbe matter. The precession draws nearer and Mr. and Mrs. Pruitt come out to sed it. Io a few minutes they recognize the eldest daughter, with her husband and children, and then the eldest eon with bis family, and by the time the second and third daughters, with their families, drove up, the aged couple was so overjoyed that their eyes were moistened with tears. If, was indeed a grand s'ght to see the meeting of all their children, grand children, sons inlawanddanghtere-in-law. ?o one but God alone knows what a stream of happiness was fleeting through the minds of t?ie aged couple as they met and greeted each of their loved ones. The hours passed by too swiftly and were spent moat pleasantly in various ways. In the meant me a long table bad been erected in the beautiful grove in front of tbe dear old mansion, and the fair hands of the matrons and maidens soon had it loaded with the tempting viands that had been brought from their respective homos. Dinner being announced, the happy party with the invited guests gathered around the table and cid full justice to the delici ous feast spread before them- Enough was left to have fed tbrice tho number present. After dinner (he party scattered about in groups and spent the time in pleasant conversation and walking around under the giant old oaks, where thoy bad so often in days gone by played hall, mar bles and indulged in otber childhood sports. Doubtless some of them may have tbougbt they would love to live over those happy days again. Mr. Pruit is tbe seventh son of the late Wm. Pruitt, who died in 1855, and whose father was a soldier in the Revolutionary war His mother's maiden name was Francis Tucker, who died in 1883 at a ripe old age. Mrs. Pruitt is a daughter of the late Robert Parker, who was a sou of John Parker, a native of Ireland and brave soldier in tbe Revolutionary war. Her mother was Mary Gar?brell, daughter of Henry Gambreli. The Pruitt family originally came from England and the Parkers from Ireland. Mr. Pruitt was born in 1S31 near where he now lives. Hie wifs is four years bis junior. They were married in January, 1S52, and have lived ever since where they now reside, except one y6ar?1853?which tbey spent in Tippah County, Miss. Thoy have bad born to them six sons and five daughters One sou died in infancy, and all tbe other children are still living. They have twen ty-nine grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Pruitt were lovers and play mate? in child hood, their parents being neighbors. They joined tbe old Mt. Bethel Baptkit Church in early life under tbe ministry of the late Rev. D. Simmons, who died in Tesas some years ago. and still bold their membership at this Church. Their oldest daughter, Mary, married R. \V.

E J, married Miss Jett Scudday, of Anderson ; the fourth daughter, Birdie, married Oscar Bowie, of Cooks. Miss Nina and. Walter, tbe ycungest son, are still domiciled in the old mansion trying to make the last days of tbelr fond parents pleasant'. All of these own good bornes and bave plenty of | this world's geodi.' Late in the afternoon all ci the kindred and invited guests assembled in a group in front of the house, where fctood Ander son's accomplished photographer, Mr. J. II Collins, who inad6 a picture of the entire party. Mr. Collins then took one of tbe venerable parents and the ten chil dren in a group. Thus ended a most happy occasion, which will be long remembered by all who were present. We hope Mr. and Mrs. Pruitt may be spared to baye many more such reunions, and at last, when the Lord shall come, may they be an unbroken family in the Heavenly Kingdom. R Willis Chapel Items. The farmers are now rushing along their work at a rapid rate in order to get done gathering before cold weather. Cotton is opening very rapid'y, and some think that it will all be gathered by the first of November.

Blue Brown Eyes. Outlook for the 0. P. Men. Tho Seaboard Air Lino and tho Colum bia, Now berry aud Laurens railroads have joined forces with the Southern and the Atlantic Coast Line in their refusal to longer haul uncased bottles packod loose in boxcars for original package stores. Tho Florida Contrai and Penin sular, tho South Carolina and Georgia and tho Charleston and Western Carolina roads seems still bent on getting all tho business they cau. In view of tho circu lars sont out by tho Southern and Coast Line, tho F'lorida Central and Peninsu lar has issued instructions to its agents not to receive shipments for connecting lines. At first sight tho action of the South ern, tho Coast Lino and tho Seaboard would appear to bo a death blow to the original package dealers throughout the 8tato, but a glance at a railroad map en tirely disprovos it. The Counties that can bo reached by tho roads independent of tho agreement are: Oconee, Pickens, Greenville, Spartanburg, Laurens, An derson, Abbeville, Edgefiold, Aiken, Barnwell, Hampton, Beaufort, Colle ton, Berkeley, Charleston, Orangebnrg, Lexington, Richland, Georgetown, Kor shaw, Lancaster, York, Chester and Hor ry The counties most seriously affected are those of Uniou, Fnirfield, Newberry, Sumter, Clarendon, Williamsburg, Flor ence, Marion, Marlboro and Darlington. But somo of these are near enough to the North ..rolina line to enable" buying liquor in original packages to be hauled in by wagons, if tho "o. p.'s" care to do so. Columbia original package agents are not perturbed over the situation in the slightest. They still have two railroads which aro willing to bring in as many carloads of liquors in'looso bottles as they desire They are at a loss, though, to un derstand why the railroads should begin to kick on haulinc breakable goods uncas ed when the breakage thus far has been in finitesimal. What will bo tho action of the State of ficials to compel these recalcitrant roads to yield to their demands? is an interest ing question. A few weeks ago throats woro made of forfeiting their charters and getting injunctions from the Stato Jupromo Court restraining thorn from hauling liquors for . p.' agents. An in timation was m ade yesterday by a depart ment assistant that should the Florida Central and Peninsular, the South Caro lina and Georgia and other roads still per sist in their present policy recourse might bo had to these measures. Tbe State of ficials l'eoi suro that the roads would not hava recourse to the injunction remedy for should they, under an Act of the leg islature, their charters would bo forfeit ed.
