Speaker Cannon's Friendship For Him Evidenced At the President's Reception. A Washington dispatch to the Greenville News says that Con gressman Aiken attended the big reception given by President Roose velt Thursday night. It was his first visit, but cqurtesy demanded that he should go to at least one of the four big receptions given by the President during the winter. These receptions are attended by the Four Hundred of Washington and the cream of the official life of the cap ital. Handsomely dressed men,beau tiful women in the most fashionable attire to be seen in the world, for eign diplomats, with their bright uniforms and their strange tongues, the beautifully decorated and bril iantly lighted rooiis. the music of the Marine band, all furnish a measure of intoxication for the new visitors. Congressman Aiken was wander ing around with Mrs. Aiken, point ing out to his wife the men of promiinence when "Uncle Joe" Can non, speaker of the House, slapped him on the shoulder in hearty style, and said: "Hello, Aiken, this is a great scene, isn't it? How are you enjoying yourself? I am delighted to see yo1 out tonight." "I am pleased to be present," said Aiken, in that hearty, frank way of his, "but just between you and me, Mr Speaker, I do not enjoy this half as much as being with a patty of the men and women of my district. I've got the finest lot of people in my district in the world, and I'm never so happy as when among them, talking with the men about all sorts of things and with the ladies about whatever pleases their good souls to talk about." "Well, Aiken, you are a philoso pher, sure," said Speaker Cannon, "and, confidentially, I don't mind telling you that I prefer plainer peo ple and plainer things than this my self," and the brainest Republican in the I-louse went on talking with Aiken a long time. There is a de cided friendship between the two men, and Congressman Aiken will probably find that the speaker will be a valuable friend to him as he continues to serve in the House.

Cor. Augusta Chronicle. The contest for chairman of the board of dispensary directors was preceded by a warm campaign. For nights there have been caucuses of all kinds and of all degrees of heat. Col. H. H. Evans, of Newberry, was opposed by Mr. J. A. McDer inott, of Horry. When it came down to the vote Evans won in a canter. On the first ballot the eltction was secured, Evans get ting ninety-nine votes and McDer mott fifty-six. It was an easy thing for Hub Evans. He is a very popular man and known from one end of the State to the other. He is of a genial robust disposition, shakes hands like a whirlwind and talks in loud, cheerful tones. He knows all about the dispensary, having served several terms as a member of the board of directors. When seen right after the race Mr. Evans was jubilant and as he grasped the hands of his friends, shouted: "Why, lie didn't more than toe weight me, did he? JuFt steadied me down to my gait, eh?" Mr .Evans and his friends, who are numerous, are well pleased at the great victory, Niich is quite a coi pliment to the winner, for Mr. Mc Dernott is himself a strong inaii. The Value of Politeness. If those who are doubtful as to the correct course to pursue in any given situation will remember that even the wrong thing is overlooked if one is but absolutely polite in the doing of it, their relief might be great. A gentleness of demeanor and a courteons response or question can never be out of place. A man may wear a business suit of clothes to an evening wedding less noticeably than a truculent air of insolence. If lie be perfectly well bred as far as behavior goes, it matters not so much what his outward garb, al though by an unwritten law of social observance certain clothes are the correct thing for the certain occasions. l'oliteness is never wrong. Its practice goes nearly all the wa\ toward the goal (if the right thing in the right phace. We hear of polit, insolence. but insolence is ne-e pote, an2d it is never u .der anm circum nstanuces polite to be inlsolent Hot Water Faor Ti.e Nervcs.
