ADDRESS Of Prominent Citizens of Maiion Co., S. 3., to the Voters of South Caro lina in Indorsement of BOYD EVANS' Candidacy for . Bailroad Commiitsiener. To the Voters of South Carolina : Ko public question of recent years bas elicited more common interest io South Carolina, and, indeed, in the whole country, than that of tbs regu lation and restriction of great corpo rations and combinations within the bound of the law. Of these great corporations none have 60 close t. couccc?ion with our great material velfare and interests as the railroads, for upon them depend our intercourse and commerce with the outer world. They are the very fibre of our material growth aod develop ment as a State and a people. By the maintenance of just and equitable laws between our people and the rail rjads-their public servants-can these creatures of the law be rendered most serviceable to the State as a whole, and assist in the progressive march which the State has begun, and at tho same time yield the best re turns to those who own their stocks. In the light of these principles our State has enacted laws providing for a Railroad Commission, composed of representative men, to be elected from her people, whose duty it is to regu late and adjust the passenger and freight rates of the respectivo roads within the State with justice and im partiality, -assuring to the people equal rights to all and special privileges to none. That the spirit of this law may be fulfilled it is expedient and necessary that this commission, in whose bands lies more of our material welfare and prosperity than any other department of our government, Bhouid be com posed not only nf men of the highest integrity, but of education, oaperi ence and tried business capacity; men who by profession and training are able to cope with the finest business and legal talent that money can buy. Realising the necessity and utility of a most vigorous administration erf the affairs of this Commission, and its establishment upon a stable busi ness basis, and, that these great-ends can only be obtained by maintaining the highest standard in the personnel of its members, we, the undersigned citizens of Marion County, ?present for your attention the name of Mr. W. Boyd Evans, a man hailing from our midst? and whom we believe pos sesses those high attributes which qualify him to meet Che obligations of the office to whioh he aspires with the freatest efficiency and honor. Ho is nil of energy, progressive in his ideas and aggressive in advancing them ; a Mason, a Pythian and Odd (Fellow, he is in cfcse touch and sympathy with all thai tends toward the development of his fellow man and native State. We feel that a word setting out what manner of man ho is and what OIBBB of men he sprung from will not be amiss. In a recent history of Marion Coun ty, written by the Hon. W. W. Sellers. Esq., he has this to eay of W. Boyd Evans's grandfather, Nathan Evans, and his father, William iBakerEvans : "Nathan Evans was one of .Nature's noblemen; had great,4500c sense?,was energetic and upright in every respect; always lent his ear to a tale of suffer ing; had a kind and sympathetic heart, and would help his 'neighbor in distress, if it was in his .power, often to his own injury-; he injured himself and family by becoming -surety for others. He lived on his splendid farm, whioh he managed to ?esp till his death; he was a very popular mia. yet hs never aspired to the honors of office but once, and then not of bis own motion, but being urged by Ms numerous friends he became a candi date for Representative in the .State Legislature in 1858. and though the contest was heated, be was triumph antly eleoted at the head of the tick et, ss** DD?VU? . v?rm in the 'HOUBO. Faithful to his trust, he -retired fron: puoli? ?ixe in the fail confidence of bis people-he loved his heme ?nd ?femily too well ; pursuits of home 'life were more congenial to his nature. "William Baker Evana, W. (Boyd Evans's father, was a captain in tee I war, a true and valiant soldier. ?In one of the battles of Virginia <Cold (Har bor) he was badly wounded-shot through one of his lungs-which at the time was thought to fcevmortal, but to every one's surprise be .recov ered. After recovery he returned to bis command and continued obere to the surrender of Johcstoa'a army, 26th April? 1865. Captain Evans is a very worthy citizen, a man of good morals, and a good man in bis tfacmly -in short, he is a high-toned gentle-i mar.; he is a farmer." A ? ' W. Boyd Evans is tho con of this' gallant Confederate soldier. He is' essentially a self-made man. for his father hoking thc means to o?ar the expense ox his' college education, he met thoBC expenses himself, unaided, by dint of hard work and untiring perseverance. While still at college, Mr. Evans vas,eleoted, against sharp competi tion, to fill the position of Secretary of the Judiciary Committee of the Constitutional Convention Of 18S5, I?nd in that position exhibited auch narked ability is to attraot tho atten tion of William H. EUerbe, who, after wards becoming Oovernor of the State, ^pointed him aa his Private Secre tary. _ v I .Mr. Jfivans held this responsible po lution with th? utmost satisfaction to ?tis chief, and during the last deip* gfate illness of Governor Ellerbe, covert i'pg the greater part of a year, tho du K*8 **iftmo^ngmfa* of that high ?office devolved almost entirely upon Ita shoulders; and ho acquitted him self with ability and dignity. 1 Buring the performance of these ar Vuons duties, however, he found time WO enter upon and' complete the study W law st the South Carolina College, .nd has since tho expiration of his ?erm practiced his profession in On IAfter the return of Our regiments rom the war with Spain, Mr. Evans, discovering that these oould, under ne national ?twSj claim farther awards lT MIS!* *?*?i?e?r entered claims with be War, Department f n >Waahi ogton or back nay to South Carofttta^Jdtg Hers, collected and terned over to them upwards of twenty thousand dollars, which, but for bis sagacity and energy, would have been lost to those brave fellows. For a period of nearly ten years Mr. Evans has been eonneeted, in one ca pacity or mother, with the legislative department of our government, acting as secretary to the various committees of the two Houser His residence in Columbia, the headquarters of the Railroad Commis sion, renders Mr. Evans a peculiarly fitting ohoice for the position to which be aspires, inasmuch ss it would give the Commission a resident member at headquarters, thus keeping the office always accessible to those having bus iness before it. In light of the facts and reasons enumerated above, we have no hesita tion in recommending, and do recom mend gladly, the candidacy of Mr. W. Boyd Evans. William M.

To be worth fifteen ?million dollars when one is but four years of ?ge may not insure great happiness for the futuro, but it does offer great possi bilities to the possessor of thia weaith in future years to perform much good for the benefit of the entire world. John Nicholas Brown of (Providence, Rhode Island, and hut four years of age, is oonsidered to be the richest ohild in the world. (His father and unole died about four years ago, and they left to him property now valued at fifteen million dellars. vWhen the father and uncle died, the hoy was only two months old. ?He is now a lusty boy of four and the sole male re presentative of the company and line of John Carter Brown, .m'.rufaoturer, East India merchant and millionaire philanthropist. The wealth of which the ohild is tho tole possessor is being conserva tively managed. Much of it is real estate, a great deal in'bonds, and the remainder in manufacturing interests that are profitable. What The T-sle^hcne Ssow Ss. Twenty years ?go in many parts of the United States the telephone was regarded as ? joke. (Farmers laughed at tho idea that a parson standing at the end of a wire twenty, thirty or forty miles removed ?from another per son, could say what ho mab ed and have the latter hear him. The tele phone was regarded as a costly and almost useless toy. A preliminary report of iihe United States CensuB Bureau just issued shows how. in two decades, popular opinion on this important invention has ohanged. This report states that in 1902 more than 5,$09?000j000 tele phone messages were ?exohangcd in this country. There are now 4,151 telephone systems in the ?United States, with 4,850,489 niles of wire and 2,315,297 telephones. The total number of subscribers at that tim? was 2,137,256, and the tele phone oompanies earned from rentals and tolls in a Bingle year over 686,000, 'OOO. All thia from the little instru ment once regarded as only fit for ?hilaren to play with. A Good Guess. "I was trying to impress on one of my ?lasses the other doy tho greatness of southern Confederacy and at the same time to let it know how wonderful a ma? was George Washington," said J. Ii. Pembroke, ? professor in a pri mary school in Paducah, Ky., at Seel bach's last night. , i4 'It the Confederacy had succeed ed,' I asked, 'what would Washington have been the faber of?' " 'Twins,' was the prompt reply of one of the boys.*' "Ai, another time," said Mr. Pem broke, "I waa trying to impress on my class the fact that Anthony Wayne had led the oh arge up Stony Point. " 'Who led the charge np Stony Point?' I . asked. ?Will one of the smaller boys answer?' . ; "No reply came. V 'Can no one tell me?* I repeated, sternly. " 'Little hoy on that seat to the aisle, who led the charge up Stony Point?' x u 'I-I don't know,' replied the lit tle fellow, frightened. *I-I donY know, lt wasn't me. I-I just corned hero last month from Texas.' * ' ?oooooooOoooooooooooooqooO ?-?BOSS + I o o .OdOAO*0*0*0??O*O?O*?dO*0* A rough brown dog Bat at the very edge of the tumble down break water. He was looking steadily sea ward. He was evidently old, and he waa scarred by many fights, but his sunken mouth, from which he had lost many teeth, showed that he would not fight again victoriously. Sometimes he turned from his gaze at sea and glanced behind him at a child who was sitting in a wheelbarrow a few feet away. Every time he glanced thus he slightly wagged his stump of a tail, and the child smiled, or she said in a soft voice : "Good Boss!" And then Boss wagged harder, but he could not give much atten tion to his companion, for his whole heart was with that bent old woman who was up to her waist in thc wa ter bj the outermost ledge. It was there that the Irish moss grew, and at low tide the woman could gather it. She thrust her arm down to the shoulder each time for her handful of moss. She was wet, sodden wet, save fnr a small place across her back. She had a man's straw hat fasten ed by a small rope tightly under her chin. Her face looked 100 3'ears old-it was in truth seventy-old, seamed and leathery, and it was a face you loved to look at. Every few moments she raised her head and put her dripping hand np over her eyes as she turned to ward the land. She was at first dazzled by the glare of the water. iWhen she looked up thus, the little girl in the wheelbarrow always .waved her hat. Then a dina, beau tiful smile would come in the faded eyes. "It's jest a-doin' of her lots ol good," ahe would say aloud. "I'm awful glad I wheeled her down. 1 .wish now I'd brought her down oftener this summer." Twice as she looked shoreward ehe called out shrilly : "Boss, vou take'1 caro of her. .Won't you? BOBS?" Then Boss pricked up his ea? and shook his tail, and the girl laughed and sai?'5he "guest ed she 'n B086 could git along first rate." "We're used to it, ain't we Boss?" . When she said this, the dog gol up, came to her side, gave her s swift lick across the cheek, thei .hurried back and sat down on th? edge of the planks again. x Once the woman out in the watei slipped and fell splashing, and Bosi jumped up, whining in a piteous quaver, and would not he comforted even when ithe child said soothing ly: "Never mind, void fellow !" But when the woman flounderec to her feet again and cried "Al right!" the'dog cat-down. The child sniffed the br acm < odor and stretched . put her hands smiling happily. To be sure, ehe could walk, bu granny wheeled her to the breakwa ter where ?he ?could see the mos gathered. It was a low course of tides, an< now the water had . gone far. out 8( that one could get to one of th) ledges where .the moss grew. Granny had ?no boat, as moat o the messers had-there were gem boats now farther along, and li ttl Molly could see the.men put thei long handled Tones down and dr av them up full. She knew that thoa men made more money than he grandmother, hut then she didn' know much about money. "I guess they don't know mud about a dog," abo .told Molly, "'s I guess 'B long's we got anything t.< eat Boss 'll have some of it. Eh old feller?" Molly sank back on her pillow in the barrow. She amused hersel by almost closing her eyes so tha .the sea seemed to come up neare and crimple in sparks of fire. Thei she would open her lids wide, an? the great strajkeh of water wouL fmsh blindingly on her vision. Sh played at this for a long time, nm [always in front of her was the do? 'She had grown up in the con vic ti o: that all was well if he was near. N Soon everything grew delicio us! dim and then clear, and tho sal smell was sweeter, and she was walk in g over the hard sand as straigh as anybody, holding her head nj strongly. She did not know she wa asleep. It was real to her that sh was walking'. , Suddenly she eat upright in he wheelbarrow, clutching the sides 0 it. Boss was not there. Had h barked? Or had sonars one called She looked off to the ledge. Sh saw Boss leaping frantically, ove the weedy rocks. He went as if h were a young dog. He went like creature possessed. He seemed no . to leap, but tb,fly from one rock t another over the still, green pools. Molly could see the dog an beyond him shining water. Wher .was granny? . .The child tried to scream, but sh felt as if in a nightmare, and coull not make a sou ml, Oh, there was something dow: between the rocks on the far side 0 the ledge! It was there that Bos was going. And there was. the mose .cr in his boat, putting Ms rake dowi just as he lied been doing when th child had gone ter sleep. For an in stant she thought she Was dream hog. But Boss wa| ?one, and-ye -lhere was something ainon^ the rocks. lt was granny's- hat sticking up, and she did not move. Molly tried again to scream, and it "..as as if her heart would break in iv? trying. Her voice was only a hc...:<se kind of a whisper. But there! Besa has reached hie friend. He tried to pull her out. He could not. Between his attempts he "barked, he howled. Nay, he screamed. Was his heart breaking also? At last the mosser out there held i hi? rope just above thc water and gazed toward thc shore listening. The wind was off the sea, and sounds from the land did not come dourly. The man saw little Molly Towne on the breakwater. Had she cried8 out? And was that tho Towne dog carrying on so on the rocks? Boss was clown by the still figure that was lying in thc shallow pool. He was struggling with it, making frantic efforts to pull it from thc water. Outlined on thc breakwater against, tho dazzle of the blue 6ky the man saw Molly rise up in her harrow as if she would walk and then foll hack again. "Good God!" ho cried. He drop ped the rope into the water, caught up his oars and rowed to tho ledge. AU the time he rowed ho saw Mrs. Towne's motionless form lying there and Boss trying to help her. AB he stepped out of h's boat and began slipping and jumping over the rocks the woman moved and raised her head. He saw her reach out her hand to the dog. He saw the dog throw himseK down 9ii? lick her face eagerly. "That you, Jim Stowell?" ehe asked. "I guess I've broke my leg. I slipped. I've mossed twenty year, 'n' 1 never slipped to speak of be fore." She spoke tremblingly, hut with pride. "I s'pose I fainted or some thing." 'Til git you right into the boat," said Jim Stowell briskly, " V take you home in no time." Boss stood close by watching the man. Mrs. Towne looked to the shore, saw the child, waved her hand and called cheerily, "All right!" And Molly shook her handker chief feebly, though she tried to shake it vigorously. "I do hope she didn't see me fall," Baid the woman. It was not easy to get her into the boat, and she winced and grew pale, but she helped all she could and made no sound. .When she waa in at last, Jim took up his oars to -go round to thc sandy landing. There stood BOBS shivering on a rock. All at once he appeared older than ever. It seem ed as if he could hardly stand. ."Take bim, too," said nts mis tress. "No, let him walk." "I want you to take him, ? tell you," almost fiercely. "He's too old V stiff to walk -on the rocks.9* aOhP with A laugh. "You oughter seen him goin' it after youl" The man began to row. Tears came into Mrs. Tcvrne's eyes. Her voice was choked. "You've got ta> .take him," ene said, "or yon needn't take me." "Oh, if yon feel like that"- Jim I'fred, the dog into the boat, and jios8 crouched down 'by Iiis friend, who put her hand on him. He lean ed more and more heavily on her. His eyes ucrc ?xed ?vn uer face. She had flung up ber hand again to the child Lying there on the wet moss at the bottom of the boat she could look without moving into the dog's face. He pressed yet closer. With a curiously quick movement ehe managed to draw him eren near er. She bent ber head to his bead. '.*He lays too bard on ye," said Jim.- "Le' me pull him away." "Don't touch him!" she cried in a sharp voice. The next moment she said hoarse ly: "He's dead."-Maria Louise Pool in Chap Book. Gida Light on History.

Why So Few People Die of Old Age. It has bern ?aid that few men die of old age and that almost all per Eons die of disappointment, person al, mental or bodily toil or accident. The passions kill men sometimes, even suddenly. The common ex ?iression, "choked with rage," has ittle exaggeration in it, for, even though not suddenly fatal, strong passions shorten life. Strong bodied men often die young, weak men liva longer than the strong, for tho strong use their strength, and the weak have none to use-tho latter take caro of themselves, the former do not. As it is with the body, so it is with the mind and the temper. The strorg are apt to break, or, like the candle, run ; the wonk burn out. Tire inferior animals, which live emperatc lives, have generally their prescribed terms of years. Thus the ?orso lives twenty-five year?, the ox fifteen or twenty, tho lion about twenty, the hog ten or twelve, the rabbit eight and the guinea pig six or seven. The numbers all bear proportion to the time tho animal takes to grow its full size. But man, of all animals, is one that seldom comes up to the average, lie ought to "ive 100 years, according to the physiological law, for live times twenty arc 100. But instead of that he Bcarcoly reaches an average age of four times tho growing period. Tho reason is obvious. Man is not ? only the most irregular and most intemperate, but the most laborious j and hard working of all animals. Ife is always the most irritable, an/hv there is reason to believe, jh we cannot tell what an ani I Secretly feels, that more than any other animal man cherishes wrath to keep it warm and con sumes himself: with the fire of his own reflections.-Health Culture. Absentminded. "A certain mathematician," said a college professor, "is so absent minded that once he walked along for a quarter of a mile in the gutter instead of on the sidewalk. He would have kept on in the gutter in definitely had not the polished back of a brougham that was drawn up before a shop brought him to a halt. "The mathematician stopped within a foot of the brough am. He looked at the black, smooth, lustrous surface before him, and it suggested to his mind a blackboard. Accordingly, ho drew a piece of chalk from his pocket and began, to work out an abstruse prob lem. "On and on he worked, covering the carriage with figures, until final ly it started off. Still working, tho mathematician followed it. Ho held on to the body with his left hand, and not until the pace became too ?cuick for him did he realize that something was vrrong. Then he -sighed, looked about him in a dazed way, pocketed his chalk and started ?homeward."-Woman's Home Com panion. _ Why Har Gussie Batead. ? writer tells how a bulldog scar ed away the guests bidden to a la dies' reception. "The hostess was "waiting in her parlor. She heard carriages arrive, heard the front ite open, but no guests appeared. 'ie situation became puzzling. At last the lady of the house went oat io see if perchance the paving and the steps had suddenly, crumbled ?way and left an aching void. Not at all. On opening the front door ehe found herself confronted with |. the. cause of the phantom visitors Bex, in his most amiable and com placent mood, sitting peaceful and majestic on the top step, whither ho had dragged his Kennel, a feath erweight to so powerful a creature, after him. No pedestrian visitor, no card laden, delegate of 'carriage folk/ 'had ventured to affront that lordly; presence." A Gentleman. Class distinctions in England are supposed-to be clearly defined, but a nice story which comes from the London Globe shows a pleasing va riety of answers to the question, "What is a gentleman?" Hearing a house carpenter spoken of as a gentleman by a furniture re mover, a county magnate sought delicately for explanations. "Lor* bless yer, sir,''" answered the furniture remover, "wo calls every man a gentleman as pays 20 shillings in the pound !" * A Sum In Addition.
