Columbia, Aus;. 28?11 a. m. No returns available now except those received by the Columbia State. They show Latimer and Evan? ahead for Senator, Heyward away ahead for Governor, with Ansel second, leading Talbert by 1,500 votes, and Tillman fourth. Frost and Boyd run over for Adjutant. Aiken will run over with Prince or Smith. Returns very in complete, however. B. The tabulation for County offioes is complete with the exception of Bishop's Branoh and Bethany. These have since come iu and the following are the results. Hood defeats Ashley by a large majority. Leverett, Ran kin, Wright and Tribble are elected in the order named. Pearman and Dagnall will make the second race. Wo figure Nance elected, but with a close margin; Yandiver defeats Jack son with smsll but safe majority. Payne defeats Welborn easily. Prince leads in the County for Congress with 1614 votes. Indications point strong ly to Prinoe and Aiken in second race for Congress. Beef in the Philippines is 60 centB a pound, butter $1.00 and milk $4.50 a gallon. The blessings brought by American occupation in this respect need revision.' It is to be hoped that President Roosevelt's promise to push anti-trust legislation at the next session of Congress will pan out better than his effort to push reciprocity legislation at the last session. Anderson is growing right along, and it is the duty of those of us who live here to let the outside world know this. We should have a city of 25,000 inhabitants here within the next five or ten years, and we could have this by well direoted effort. ^ Russian photographers get even with those who have their pictures taken without paying for same, by hanging the photos upside down in their show oases. There is some fat ness in the idea, as an upright uian usually pays his bills. The British Government has enter ed into contracts for the shipment of many thousand of American cattle to South Africa for the purpose of re storing ihe Boer farms that were stripped of live stock during their re cent war. Betwecu these buyers and and the beef trust the price of steak and roastB may go above the reach of any but millionaires. The conference of colored people, recently held in Atlanta, adopted a resolution indicating their belief that the hope of the negro in future lies in manual labor. This ia true, to a large extent. There is plenty of work for the honest black man who is will ing to do what comes to hand to earn j> living. The climate of the South admirably suits the race, and as long as the negro remains in his proper place he will have the friendship and help of the white people, who under stand him better and will do more for him than any other people. An Illinois millionaire, dying, be queathed $1000 to a railroad conductor with whom he had often ridden and who always took pains to answer ques tions courteously and fully. It is to be hoped that that thousand will prove an investment by tho dead man for the benefit of posterity. The travel ing public usually receives kindly treatment from the trainmen, but how and then a crispy chap will be found in uniform whose indifference to the desires of the* passengers pro duces unhappy results. With the pv/ibility of a post-mortem reward looming from some appreciative travel er the unaccommodating .railroad man may become more communicative and helpful. Reunion of the Moorehead Family. Editor Intelligencer: Wo were among tho fortunate ones who were in attend ance upon the reunion of tho Moore head family on the 21st in?t., which was held at the original homestead of John Moorehead, the founder of tho family bearing that honored name, who removed from Union County, 8. C., to Pendleton County und settled at the same place now owned and occu pied by Mr. Robert Moorehead, a direct descendant. As we walked around the, to us, sacred grounds, and looked up at the walls and roof that more than 100 years ago afforded shelter and protection to our ancestors, we tried to call up their forms and faces in our mind and to contrast the conditions that then existed with those in which we now live?a plain little log house made from hewn oak logs and chinked with mud. Only one room, about 18x 20 feet, with a huge rock chimney now disappeared and the place tilled with a modern brick chiiuney. A loft or gar ret overhead, which nerved as company room or bridal chamber, according to requirements, a plain slat iloor, but toned doors with peep-hole windows, no pane glass and these supplied with board shutterH, and to all these add the weather-beaten appearance which l'y? years of exposure have wrought, and you have un idea of the woodman's cabin which was built at that remote ?eriod by a sturdy Irishman named <aughlin, who afterwards sold the Jdaco to John Moorehead in 1798, and ?ere the family of himself, his son, Alexander Moorehead, and the present occupant, Mr. Hobt. Moorehead, have continued to live since thai time, and from this place have gone out those descendants who now number very 000 persons. One son of Alexander Moorehead having about 100 descend ants now living. I met one of the family who told me that she alone had GO grandchildren. The descendants present on this oc casion numbered 200, who, with about 2.r> or more invited guests and friends', did splendid tribute to the of good things that had been prepared for the dinner, which was served in the grove near the spring. After the crowd had done ample justice to the picnic, Mr. Hobt, Stevenson invited them to seats nearby, when Kev. H. R. Murchison. pastor of the Central Pres byterian Church of Anderson, enter tained us all with an address, in which he referred to the great importance of family reunions and the vast benefits to be derived by those who would fol low aft<*r us. His words of advice and encouragement to the young people were very timely and well worth re membering and putting into practice. During his remarks he was handed by a member of the family a description of the original Coat of Arms or the Moorehead family, which consisted of a bull's head, a sheaf of oats and a dagger; and the heraldic meaning of these emblems were nicely portrayed and remarked upon* To the Moore head family they haven peculiar mean ing, the key to which is contained in an ancient traditionary incident, which has been handed down through many generations and which in very inter esting to lovers of family heraldry. Mr. Murchison was followed by Hon. B. F. Cray ton, the oldest guest present, who, as a young man, came to Ander son and engaged in mercantile business (14 years ago, numbering among his tlrst friends and customers Mr. Alex ander Moorehead and Mrs. Rachel Moorehead, the father and mother of our host above referred to. Mr. Cray ton spoke without manu script, and Haid he never attempted to use "notes'1 but once, and he could not read them when he wanted to refer to them. His remarks were none tho less ractical, instructive and enjoyable, ut he will have to tell how the ladies voted on the stocking knitting ques tion when he nuked for a show of hands on that subject. Altogether, Mr. Editor, the reunion was a grand success, and the continu ance of the committee on perpetuating the meetings seemed to point to re newed effort in the future along that line. Only one member of the family was reported as haviug died since the last meeting?Mrs. Emma F. McUlellan? and her place *on the committee was tilled by tue appointment of Mrs. Julia Alice O'Neal, nee Burriss. The Moore head Coat of Arras was adopted as the emblem of the family, and the com mittee were instructed to have designs prepared for inspection and adoption. After indulging in a feast of water melons, eanteloupes and small fruits the meeting closed; and thus ended one ot the most enjoyable and enthu siastic reunions that we hnve ever at tended. Long live the clan Moore head. Committee on Reunion?Hubert Ste venson, Robert Moorehead, Lewis VV. Gentrv. Thos. H. Bnrriss, J. B. Lewis. Mrs. Mary E. Burriss, Mrs. J. Alice O'Neal, Mrs. Essie Eskew.

According to the "gures of the treasury department, we are all twice as rich as we were twenty years ago. At least, if you are not, it is because you let the other fellow get it. The money is here, anyway. ? Because the exportation of frogs from Canada to the United States has become a big business the Canadians are in a quandary. If frogs are game, the close season must be fixed by the Erovincial authorities; if they are fish, y the Dominion. ?

Probably there is no more ohari table woman in New York than Mrs. Clara Simon, who reoently turned over the total savings of a lifetime? $30,000?to the Lebanon Hospital to Bave the institution from bankruptcy. For forty years she has labored in her little shoe store on the east side and has kept even her. neighbors in ig norance of her many oharitable works. ? Charles L. Fair, who was .killed in an automobile accident near Paris Thursday, was one of the two sons of the late California millionaire and United States senator, James G.
