TERMS ; ONE YEAR, - ... $1 50 SIX MONTHS, - - - 75_ WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10. 1904. 1 _L _ - - - '"" The New York World says that Roosevelt is as good as nominated already, but that he will lose New York. _ ^_ A Kansas City man is suing for a divorce from his wife who left him seventeen years ag), it took him a long time to discover he could survive without her. Anderson is moving right along. JSCW buildings arc going up on every side, merchauts are preparing for a big spring trade, and thc indications are that at thc end of this year it will bc found that we have made greater strides than during any year so far in thc history of thc town. Thc farmer who fortifies himself be hind a full-stocked and well-managed hog pen can bid defiance to all meat trusts, but we don't knowhow he'll fare when it comes to the operation of the anti-monopoly laws. But the laws should not bluff the farmers from experimenting with hog-pens in South Carolina. Senator Tillman has been suffering with a serious throat trouble in Wash ington the past week. An absoess had formed on the left tonsil and tho attending physicians had to perform an operation. Ho is now improving and cxpeots to come down to his home this week and take a little rest and recreation. If Mr. Bryan would only seo that the nilver issue is dead beyond tho hope of a resurrection and quit dis turbing the Democratic party with trying to revive it, the Democrats throughout the country would havo a much higher opinion of him. He could bo a useful member of his party if he really desired to. Without doubt a record breaking cotton acreage will bc planted this year. Thc prices of cotton are such as to induce every perron who has an available acre for cotton to plant it in that staple. But a large acreage does not necessarily mean a record-break ing crop. There arc tho Mississippi floods and tho boll weevil to be taken into account. Thc proposition to do away with tho State campaign meetings this year is meeting with general endorsement in many sections of thc State. The plan of having meetings ia every County in the State is getting to be a nuisance not only to the candidates but to the voters, and wo believe one meeting in each Congressional district would be sufficient. Tho Springfield (Mass.) Republican has found that thc running expenses of the government are more than 40 per oent in excess of what they were prior to the Spanish war, tho cost of maintaining tho army having doubled and that of the navy almost trebled. Colonialism doesn't sound as bad as imperialism, but eall thc thing what .you will, its rough on tho taxpayer. At Springfield, Ohio, a few nights ago an infuriated mob twenty-five hundred strong, with a railroad iron for a battering-ram and eold ohiBels to out through steel cells, forced en trance into the jail and took there from a negro priaonor, whom they shot to death with their revolvers and then strung the body to a telegraph pole and riddled it with bullets. And this happened in Ohio, the native State of William McKinley and Mar cus A. Hanna! Bight on the eve of the pending strike of bituminous coal miners against a cut of 15 per cant in their wages comes the announcement that butuminous coal has advanced from 25 to 50 cents a ton, according to qual ity. Here again we have an object leeson in the working of our proteo* tive tariff. Protected by taxation from competition, the ooal oporators aro able to raise the price of ebal with ono hand, aad reduce the wages of miners with the other. Oh, it is a beautiful system, this protective tariff (System. - ?? mm The Newberry Observer makes a Very wise suggestion to South Caro lina's law-makers that ought to be followed, even when we have biennial sessions. The Observer says : "The Legislature in its haste to finish thc session in forty days made still anoth er blunder. Not only is the corpo ration franchise tax not available this year, but thc [.fifty oents dog tax ap pears to be in the same fix. The Solons shoald take more time for their work-or they ought to begin the real work earlier in the session and not bo compelled to go in such a mad rush at jthe close." -* -. Never judge a man's reputation for truthfulness by what-ho says when in lave. WILLIAM BURIUSS. ..r W. W. KKV.S. Tho' moil Oat, on bis unembarrassed brow Nature had written "(?ontloajan." Thus wrote Byron of ono ot tho croa tures of his imagination. Ilia words BO iittingly apply to tho ?uiijoct of thia sketch that I am constrained to BO UHO them. Ol all thomen of tho communi ty in which ho lived I recall none who BO impressed ino with Iii? modesty, serenity and unembarrassed composure aa William Buri isa. He carno by these qualities honestly, aa we aro wont to Bay. '1 hey wore inti* rited rather than acquired, at leant in urge measure, for they were qualities equally a? marked in 'ii* honored father, tho Kev. Jacob Bur: is*, to whom he bore uti j hin g like IICAB in physical au well as in mental features. And iie was every whit a gentleman, being well bom and well bred, relined and high minded. In his intercourse with lii.s fellows he hore himself always with a ciicumspectneas that won their confidence and admira tion, and i lu o 11 j; li a long and active life he n>: lived that no man eyer had reason to point tile linger of suspicion at him or call in question the purity of his mo tives. Hi? lifo wa? projected on a high plano and was HO maintained to the end. In an eminent degree ho possessed tho moral qualifie? BO conspicuous in tlie large family connection to which he belonged and whose name he hore. 1 have often reniai ked that perhaps there is not in all the State another family name quite so extensive as that of liurriHH that has ligured BO little in the proceeding of the ?liminai court?. They are a peace-loving folk who have found ways of settling their diilerenceB with men without resort to violence. To mo it is inconceivable that William Burriss could have been provoked into doing any man a bodily injury. Ho might have suffered Buch from another, but I believe he would have preferred to sutler himself rather than to have in dicted Bullering or injury upon another. And ttiia must not be taken to meau that ho waH given either to fawning or cringing, 'ibo truly brave man ?B ho who mai ii t ai ns hia rights without resort to violence ; who controls his spirit and ia mnstor of solf, and such a man was William Harriss. The Burri?st? aro known also as an industrious and thrifty people, and in this respect my subject was a worthy representative of hia fathers and breth ren. He worked with his own hands, and taught his sons and daughters to do the same. Labor is not only hon orable but ennobling, and this good doctrine, I have no doubt, was duly emphasized by ti .ri good man in his home. As a result, his was a home of plenty and comfort, of fellowship and good cheer, of love and felicity. I went to his homo macy times when a boy, and I recall to this day tho perfect order that seemed al way b to prevail everywhere within ita precincts. Thia was due, of course, m iarge measure, to the lovely woman '.vho was bia wifo, and whoso co-opera'.ion he enjoyed in all the affairs of lifo. Industry, econo my, careful husbanding of resources, and wiso expenditure were principles that were rigidly observed, aud which yielded their proper fruits. The H ur risa homo was not situated on th?? public road. It waa out in the farm, half a mile, perhaps, from tho road and shut out from view by a body of woods. At least, so it waB thirty years ago. lt was a sequestered and quiet, home, but to me it was a very at tractive one. Not because of the beauty td' situation or stately and handsome buildings that adorned the site, but be cause ol tho excellent people who lived thero. The wife and mother waa my mother's kinswoman, both being de scended from the MODI heads, ami ao I was tuught to call the old people "Cousin William" and "CouaiuSarah"; and of courae all the boys and girla of the home were my kinfolk. My moth er cherished her relationship and life long friendship for "Cousin Sarah", and the intercourse between tho homes waa always the moat pleasant and fra ternal. There were few thingal valued more highly when a boy than the priv ilege ol a visit to tho homo of my coua ios, the Hui i isses. Some times I went with my mother to spend nn afternoon, and eoir.'j times from Behool with the boys of tho home to spend the night. They were occasions ot genuine pleas ure, and are remembered as bright spots in my boyhood days. While wo engaged with perfect freedom in the innocent gamea and amusements usu ally allowed in a Christian home, I waa impressed always that 1 moat coon my beat behavior, and the thought that I had violated any of the rules of pro priety would have greatly humiliated mo. William Harries was a con sistent and earnest Christian, and from early life was a useful and faithful member of Salem Baptist Church, which he served as deacon and treasurer a number of years. He was a regular attendant, as long as health permitted, upon her services, contributed of his means to her BUpooi t, and exemplified in his daily walk and conversation tho doc trino and profession of a godlv life. While he was not demonstrative or emotional, he was spiritually minded and was as tender and gentle as a wo man. His religion was not of the emo tional type. Quiet, dignified, thought ful, self-possessed, he would not fail to impress even a stranger that he was a man of stalwart Christian character and unusual moral force. There was nothing in his demeanor to snggeat superficiality in character or Christian profession and service. For more than twenty years my vocation has brought me into contact with the noblest men of a great Christian denomination, and of ail the good men it has been my privilege to know and be associated with none have impressed me more pleasantly or favorably or won my admiration and confidence to a higher degree than William Harriss. This may bethought extravagant and ful some by some of my renders, but not so by those who knew him intimately. Asa neighbor and citizen he was ideal. While he attended strictly to his owu affairs, he was not indifferent to the demands of the community, and was ready always to co-operate with his neighbors in every enterprise that had for its object the good ot the com munity at large. He was considerate of his neighbors1 interests, kind-heart ed and benevolent, accommodating and fraternal. While he loved a retired and quiet life, he did not live to him self iu the acuse that the world abont him was chut out of his thought and life. As a citizon, he was interested in all that promoted the welfare of his County and State. He rend the papers and was well informed, he obeyed the laws and conformed his life to vho highest requirements of citizenship. He never sought public office, having no desire to be conspicu ous or prominent before tho people. His tastes led in tho opposite direction, and he was content for others to enjoy tho honors and emoluments of politi cal office. His private affairs absorbed his attention and ho was happy in the pursuit of interests that contributed to the well-being and comfort of his family. There are three things, at least, by which one may Judge a man's life. First, by his own individual character -not his reputation, if you please but bis character. Second, by the in fluence he exerts on hia fellows-on those with. whom he comes in direct contact and OD those whom Ju; affects through and by others. Third, bj* tho character ot his children-the kind of tuen and women who go oui from bib homo. Am ? correct < ii ?Du ? be lieve I am, then wo must writo in largo letters rho word SUCCESS opposite the name of William Hurriss, for on all three pointa the testimony is unques tionable and unimpeachable. His character was above reproach; bis in fluence waa wholly good; and bis chil dren are justly numbered among the virtuous and worthy of Anderson County. Ho who builds a homo in which truth and purity dwell and from which emanate holy and righteous in fluences not only confers immeasurable good upon his own and tho succeeding generation, but projects bis lifo far into tho futuro. Hut tho good man died at a ripe agc, after many months of suffering, borne with unmurmuring patience. They hid his body away in the earth, where it will rent till the resurrection call, and then mount to realms of bliss.

Dr. Thacher'9 Liver and Blood Syrup lins been used in thousands of homes for fifty-two years with perfect confidence and the most remarkable results. The great success of this remedy is due to thc fact tint its formula (which con sists of Buchu, Hydrangea, Mandrake, Yellow Dock, Dandelion, Sarsaparilla, Gentian, Senna and Iodide of Potassium) has been freely published. Doctors and Druggists everywhere do not hesitate to recommend a preparation which they know coutains the best known remedies for correcting all irreg ularities of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood, and the diseases caused by the failure of these functions to perform their proper work. Thousands of sick ones to whom life has been a burden have written grateful letters that others might profit by their experience. BLOOMING GROVB, Tax., Nov. 13,1902.
