CARLYLE McKINLEY. Eloquent Tribute to Late Charleston Editor-High Ideals And Noble Work. The Outlook. The death of Mr. Carlyle McKin ley, associate editor of the Charles ton News and Courier, which occur red in that city recently, is a loss to American jou'rnalism. Mr. McKinley had not made a wide popular reputa tion, but he was a highminded; intel ligent and capable editor. His rep utation among the men who knew him in his own profession was of a kind which at:y man would prize: for his ideals were high and his work on a level with his ideals. Beginning life as a Presbyterian mirister, he formed a connection with the Char leston News and Courier as an edi torial writer twenty years ago. He is best known to the public by "An Appeal to P araoh," published in 1889, a plea Wr transporting the ne groes of the United States to Africa, which attracted a good deal of atten tion at the time, but which was of importance only as a serious argu nient for an impossible solution. The cyclone of 1885 and the earthquake of the following year were treated by him with intelligence and skill, but he was best known by his poems and miscellaneous essays. He was a man of somewhat shy disposition, and the world's acpuaintance with him was a good deal limited by that shyness. One of his poems, greatly enlarged the circle of those who were ready to appreaciate him. He was a skilled workman, who put his heart into what he did, and he leaves behind him a highly honorable record. A Friendship of Thirty Years. Ex-Governor Chamberlain's tribute to Mr. McKinley, coming to the of fice of The News and -Courier, of course, by wire, was not caught cor rectly, and it is due the author to re print the whole correctly: To the Editor of The News and Courier: Your personal telegram tells me that Carlyle McKinley is at rest. After incrediblt suffering, long protracted, the worn.out body finds peace; the brave, uncomplain ing, brilliant spirit was always at rest in the peace of God. Who that knew him can find words, yet who that knew. him can forbear words, to speak their sorrow and love of this great and gentle soul? I confess for myself I cannot come near to utter ing the "thoughts that arise in me." When Thomas Carlyle wrote his great prose monody over Edward Ir ving, he exclaimed: "Edward Ir ving's wvarfare is closed: if not in victory, yet in invincibility and faith ful endurance to the end." Of Carl McKinley we can say that his war ~fare is closed with victory; victory over pain, over the flesh, over the last foe. Our acquaintance was more than thirty years old; never broken, never ;seriously or for long distrubed or in termitted. It was his lot, as well as mine, to bear part in the sto-m2 and stress period of politics in South Carolina. Where the fight was hard est, his white plume rode fearless. But howv often after the roar of bat. tIe did I hear his clear voice telling me of his love and respect. Loyal, utterly loyal to his cause, in which he profoundly believcd, and for which he was ready to risk or lose his life, he was loyal, too, to his friends of another faith whom he trusted. Faded and fading memorials of his loyalty lie before me as I now write. but to me they are fadeless and im mortal. McKinley was in the full sense of the term a man of genius: he has left us the wvritten proofs of his gemius. but none equal to what are unwritten in the hearts and memories of his inimate friends. The open.g lines of his great tribute to Henry Timrod come to me now, as true of him as of Timrod: "Harp of the South! no more, no more Thy silvery strings shall quiver: The one strong hand might win thy strains Is chilled and stilled forever." This quick, unstudied tribute to the memory of one so lovely, so strong, is all I can pay now. To his family, his kin after the flesh, what can we say to soothe their grief or assuoa their sorrow? Again, poetry, which he loved and illustrated, comes to my mind, and I give to those loved ones the lofty and sweet words of Keats, changing but one word. "He cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss: Forever wilt thou love, and he be fair." D. H. Chamberlain. University Station, Charlottesville, Va.. August 24, 1904. The Looting of Restaurants. New York Press. This is the time of the year when hotels and restaurants, as well as department stores, are taking ac count of stock. One of the heaviest charges on the page devoted to profit and loss in the restaurants can be traced directly to the mania of the average New Yorker for collecting souvenirs. The loss from breakage of dishes in a fashionable restaurant or cafe is small compared with the loss from this peculiar form of klep tomania. A restaurant which is particularly popular with residents of Central Park West has suffered extensively in this way. and when the annual ac count of stock was taken the pro prietors determined to select for the new furnishings of the table as many unmarked articles as possible. At one time they had their monogram on all the silverware, the glasses, many of the dishes and the matchsafes, all of which disappeared. As an ex perirnent they brought plain white corrugated matchsafes, such as can be bought by the dozen in the 5 and io cent stores, and immediately pa trons of the cafe seemed to lose in terest in matchsafes which lacked in dividuality. Their coffee service in cluded small pitchers about two inches high in a good quality of quadruple plate, bearing the firm's monogram, and these were replaced by plain composition ware which re sembled both aluminum and nickle. Here, too, there was less difficulty in retaining their property. Several weeks ago at this same res taurant a firm which was putting out a new brand of tobacco distributed sample bottles set in small individ ual casters of silver plate. Eighteen of these were presented to the cafe and placed on as many tables for trial 6ne Saturday night. After rush hours over, about I a. in., the proprietor made the rounds of these tables with a view of leaning how much of the tabasco sauce had been used and what comments the waiters had heard about it. The most im portant fact impressed upon his mind during his tour was that out of 18 little silver casters exactly 3 remain ed. In four instances the pretty holder and the tobasco bottle had dis appeared altogether. 'In a quiet way managers of cafes and restaurants try to stop this po lite pillage, but unfortunately they lack the co:operation of their waiters. A 30-cent tip will render a waiter ob livious to the fact that guests are slip ping bits of silver and table furnidI ings into their pockets. Letter to C. C. Davis, Newberry, S. C. Dear Sir: What is lumber worth? "Depends on the lumber." you say -"wvhat sort do you want?" That's how some people talk about paint. They ask: "What'll you paint my house for?" The Yankee answer is: "How do you want it painted? One coat? two coats? three coats? first-class or cheap?" The proper answer is: "I want the best paint put on as it ought to be." That's Devoe: but the usual answer is: "I want a good job: but I want it cheap." Which means: I want you to paint it for nothing. I want to be fooled. Lead-and-oil is the costliest paint there is: not the best: it used to be best. Devoe is best, since zinc came in: Devoe lead-and-zinc. Zinc toughens the lad and doubles its wear. Zinc toughens the lead and doubles we grind by machinery. We have no patent on zinc; but no body else is treating it right. Devoe is your paint. Yours truly F. W. Devoe & Co. P. S. The Newberry Hardware Co., sell our paint. The man who thinks twice before seak-in<r cs1rdom says anything. AN ORDINANCE. Be ordained by the Mayor and Al dermen of the Town of Newberry. S.
