E. H. AULL, EDITOR. FRIDAY. APRIL 1. 1904. The Hampton Monument. The people of Newberry have nev er 'iailed to contribute liberally to a worthy cause when it waq presented to them in the proper light and the neatr sum raised by the committee in Newberry this week in aid of the Hampton monument fund is very gratifying. But ths contribution is not as large as it should be, and lacks much of being Newberry's full ap portionnient. The amount contribu ted by popular subscription should not fall below one hundred dollars. at the very least. .and ought to reach twd-hundred dollars -r more in the wholq,county. I stre there will be no returns in (lars and cents frmithe amount co ibuted. It is sentiment. pure and sine. if you choose so to call it. Bu t is a vere beautiful sentiment whoi would have us keep fresh and gr* the memory of a man who wa wvij*g not only to (lie lighting for thetause of his state and his people bntto live for them, and who led his pe*e out of the darkest period in thek history into the light of a new anAetter day. There were thous and and thousands of brave soldiers wh followed where Wade Hampton led nd who made sacrifices just as gre and who are deserving of no lespraise and no less love. But in ho%ring the memory of Hampton we,-ill honor no less the memory of ther.en who fiared nor to follow where he'dared to lead. We can not erec' costly monuments to all of them. Let Newberry not be lacking in interest and in contributions in a mat ter of this kind. The Charleston News and Courier, t t newspaper, the Gaffney Le a other papers in South Carolina ave suggested Governor Aycock, of North Carolina, as a suitablean for the democrats to no ~a for the vice-presidency. It i e south was having some ra_ in the party and if we can't secure the nominee for the pres idency we ou4ht at least to be allow ed to name lhe second man on the ti ID cratic success is an im p i~ty ihout a solid south and y th 2~jas very little voice in t r ils~ the party.

"Ed Bruffev of the Constitution iad an idea that the woman was a 'ake. and he soon had the wires hot vith messages making inquiries thout her. the result being that he ot a corking good story to the effect hat the woman was the rankest kind >f humbug. Bruffey printed the itory next morning and it caused a enuine sensation. but the woman lever lost her grip, driving out that iternoon with her four-in-hand. "Late that night Bruffey was in the obby of the Kimball talking to Ed. alloway. the night clerk, when the cattle queen' swished down the steps md. walking up to Bruff. asked if he vas responsible for the story in the onstitution. - 'I have that honor.' was the re )1y.

"Bruff won out, for the woman aughed and retreated upstairs." "But," she protested, "Adam was it contented without a wife." "Perhaps not," rejoined the old achelor, "but at that stage he didn't now anything of good or evil." ALL TIlmD OUT. ladrds More in Nwrr in thle Stn Pli11b. Tired all the time.
