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.

Richest Child in Tte Wort a.
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.

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

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:

IRRATIONAL MANKIND.
Th? Reason? 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

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 !"
