IN SPITE Or DOCTOR'S ORDER, THEY MARRIED. Columbia, March 12.-A charming little romance was developed this morning by a marriage at 10 o'clock at the First Presbyterian church. The 4ontracting parties were Miss Nellie Frank Bushe, of New York city, and Mr. William Starr Bostwick, of Read ing, Pa. They were to have been mar ried in New York today. Invitations for the wedding there had been issued, but they had to be cancelled as Miss Bushe's doctor would not permit her to retuin North at this time. Shortly before Christmas she was attacked with bronchial troubles, upon the ad vice of her physicians she came south to get the benefit of a milder elimate. She went to Southern Pines. N.;C., and spent seven weeks there. Recently she eame to Columbia and has been staying at the McKenzie House. She is a most charming young lady and has made a number of friends during her short stay in this city. Mr. Bostwick quickly cancelled tbe invitations for the New York wedding but was determined there shpuld be no postpon,ment of the wedding day, but simply that the cer emony should be performed. in Co lumbia instead of in New York. He came to Columbia and made arrange ments for the wedding to occur here. In the presence of the friends Miss Biishe had made at the McKenzie House, the ceremohy was performed at the' First Presbyterian church, the Rev. S. M. Smith, officiating. The bride wore a handsome gray traveling AN EDITOR'S APPEAL To Brother Publishers In Behalf Of The Lost Child of Dr. Byers of Seeleyville, Ind. If the editor of .every paper in the eentral west will republish these lines there is no question but -what Dr. S. L. Byers of Seeleyville, Ind., will ru cover his little son who was stolen from his home one year ago last May. Dr. Byers has spept his entire re soui-ces in search for his child and unless .the big -hear-ted members of the press come to his assistance his -son will grow up an outlaw and an outeast among the lowest .people ;of the. earth. It is a cause that-should appeal' to- everyone. and no father reading these lines can do so without a quiekenixg of the heart and a sym pathetie throb. It- is: believed that if this article is re-printed .in, the newspapers it. will form an endless ehain that will tineover the lost boy's eoneealment and return him to his distracted parents. In doing this the profession of journalism will be fulfilling one of its highest destinies. . Publishers whose circulations touch the Wabash, Ohio and .Mississippi vallejs are especially requested to reproduce this story of the lost child a\s. Dr. Byers believes his boy is now on some houseboat waiting to take the road in the springy There .is a reward of $500, awaiting any infor mation that will lead to the -boy 's re covery. No questions will be asked and if the abductor himself would de iver the boy to his parents he would not be molested. The bereaved par ints are heart broken with grief and want only their child. If each jour nal will reprint these lines, they will trav'el to~ every exchange table in the United States and bring back to a wretehed home a'child who is now no doubt suffering with cold, unfed and - wretched to a degree. Think of what your own . feelings would be under similar circumstances! This appeal is indicted originally by a publisher who saw Dr. Byers only once, has no personal interest in his quest other than the bond of sympathy that makes the world akin, and is inspired from the belief that the lost boy can only be found through the united efforts of t4ie country press 'of which he is proud to be a member. His recovery will be a triumph in advertising~ and no editor whose heart is placed right will refuse this appeal. Remember, it may be your. child next! The following is a descriptio n of the lost boy: *DESCRIPTION. Richmond Byers, if alive was o years old last July, is of light com lexion, has gray eyes, left eye notici bly crossed, has a small V shaped niek in the edge of the left ear, has a sharp chin and a n:row, projecting fore head. He is rather small for his ag~e and i.: unu.sually bright and inteii gent, talking after the manner of a ~bov much older. I)r. Byers has searched among the ri.ving bands that frequent the Uni teal States and believes that his son can be found among traveling junk dealers. so called horse traders or movers. He do0es not think the boy was stolen by genuine gypsies. He thinks he was taken by a wandering band that uklJ him for the purpose of beggino' in the towns along the rute. WHO XAY OPPOE TIULMAN. Several Gentlemen Are Discussed, But a York Paper Thinks None Would Have Chance Against Him. Fort Mill Times. The foes of Senator Tillman and the anti-dispensaryites over the State are becoming more and more perplex led in the selection froim their forces of a man who would stand a show at beating the senator in his race next fall. Already a number of probable eandidates have been spoken of. and at least tw h)ave intinated a willing nessz to run. such 1110intation being s andwielhed, however.. with the usual --ifs." "ands' and "provisos'' so dear to the prospective candidate, who doubts his ab V to defeat his oppon ent. Ana0mg those most favorabl.v spo ken of 'for the race is the lonl. Gleo. B. Cromer. of Newberry. The writer knows little of Mr. Cromer's past po I litical career, if le has any. but learns I that he is one of the champions of the force engaged in the present fight against Senator Tillman. He would, perhaps, make a fairly good. start in the race, and, with the aid of an ex tra long-sighted microscope, get in near enough to see the hoisting.of the wool-hat colors at. the finish. Then, on the list of probables is Mr. E. D. Smith, the popular presi dent of the South Carolina Cotton association. Mr. Smith has not yet signified his intention of entering the race, and. it is not believed that he will, f6r such a step would pot only mean overwhelming defeat for him, but a sacrifice of the=popularity which he now enjoys as president of an as sociation in which Senator Tillman's supporters are numbered high up in the thousands. Last, and perhaps least, so far as I his chances of winning are concern ed, is the Hon. John L. McLaurin "Curly-Headed Johimny''-who, as everyone believed, was snugly tucked away in the political death-robe by Senator Tillman a.. few vears ago. Mr. MeLaurin, according to reports, expresses a willinfness to enter the race, provided a.suflecient number de sire that he should. This nmnber he will pr-obably place at a figure so -high as to give him ample room to discard the proposition It is safe to add, however, that should the former sena tor decide to take 'a snatch at Till man's scalp, he would do so from the blind side, and when it was all over would discover that he hadn't even 'touched a hair. Senator Tillman. Charlotte News. The News and 'Observer has this to say 'regarding the Atand taken by Senator Tillman: "The world respects an honest par tisan, even if he is frank to bluntness. Senator Tillman is respected more than every democrat in America who has 'genu-fiected' in Washington to get White House favor.'' We are eonstrained to agree with Editor Daniels in the above. It is eternally true that the world has lit tle use for the mealy-mouthed favor seeker. It is equally true that the world still holds at a high premium sincerity and honesty. even if it be clothed in a garb, uncouth and des titute of polish and gloss. Senator Tillman has been abused. All manner of evil and harsh things have been showered upon him, which concerned him little. No doubt he makes blunders. Who does not? There is however, an umassumed frankness and a candid honesty about the senior Senator from South Car'o lina that carries with it force and con viction. Senator Tillman 's re.cent stand on some of the most important bills un Ider consideration has won for him the respect and admiration,. not only of the people, but of his erstwhile enemy, Mr. Roosevelt. Every dog must htave his day,"' and the position Senator Tillman no;" holds in the eyes of thinking people is one justly deserved. McClure's. Sources of Our Unela~ Reniide Though Joel Chaidler Harris' Un le Remus stories except of Iuihmia egeds, are as near American folk lore as our literature will produce, they are, so to speak, American only t second hand. Facts seem to indi ate their having been imported with the negroes from somewhere on the west coast of Africa. In their main ubstance of character and incident these stories are to be found in many other countries where slaves have been held, though nowhere have they had the sympathetic retelling that Mr. Harris has given themr for us. They are part of the stock of 'the negro sorv-tel!rs in the West Indies and frica. and iney are told in the jaboo of te gol c-+% the FK.h patois of Marinque. and the mixed Dutch of Curacao. I ii each country the partic ular native animals are drafted into the tales. In the West Indies there are no rabbits. foxes or wolves, but there is Brer Spider. Brer Hawk, Sis Ground Dove, etc. The eunning spi der called Annancy, has the role of Brer Rabbit, with adventures just as droll. The story of how Annancy, disliking Brer John Crow and his, family for being so curious, taught John Crow a lesson by scalding..the feathers off his head and making him and his race bald forever, is one of a number of West Tndian tales that would make nighty' good material for Mr. Harris. The Real Washington. Max AdelMr. "You say." I remarked to the old 1egTo who drove he hack, 'that you were General Washington's body-ser vant?'' "Dat's so! Dat's jes so. mossa. I done waited on Washington sence he was so high-no bigger n a small chile." "You know the story then about the cherry tree and the hatchet?" "Know it? Why, I was dar on the spot. I seen Mossa George climbe de tree atter de cherries, and I seen him fling the hatchet at the boys who was a stonin' him. I done chase dem boys off de place meself. "Do vou remember his appearance as a man? What he looked like?' Yes, indeedy. He was a kinder short, ehunky man; sorter fat and hearty-lookin'. He had chin whiskers and mustache and spectacles. Mos' generally he wore a high hat; but I'se seed him in a fur cap wid ear-warm ers! "You were not with him, of c6urse, when he crossed the Deleware river?" "Wid him? Yes, sir; I was right dar. I was not more'n two feet off'n him as he druv across de bridge in his buggy! Dat's a fac'. I walked 'longside de off hind wheel of dat buggy all de way." ''Y6u saw him when he fought the British at Trenton?" " Sho's you're born I did! I held Mossa Gawge 's coat an' hat while he fought the British at dat werry place. Mossa' Gawge clinched him and den dey rassled and. rassled, and at first he freiv Gawge, and den Mossa Gawge flung ,him, and set on him ana done hammered him till he cried 'nuff! Mossa Gawge won dat fight. I seed him wid me own eyes! An' I come home wid him in de kyars!"' "You weren't with him wheri he shot the apple off the boy's head? '. ''Who wa'n't wid him? I wa'n't? I -was the only pusson dar 'eeptin' one white man. I loaded. Mossa Gawge 's revolver and han 'ed it to hinm, and picked up de apple an' et its -on as he'd knocked it off. No body can 't tell dis yer ole niggah nuffin' 'bout dat circumstance.'' ''You know all of the general's re lations, too, I suppose ? Martin Luth er, and Peter the Hermit, and the rest?" ''Knowed urn all. Many and ma:ny's de time I done waited on de table when Mossa Gawge had urn to dinner. I remember dem two gemmen jes' 's if I 'd seen urn yesterday. Yes, sah; an' I druv 'em out often!'' ''I've frequently seen pictures of Washington in which he is represent ed sitting upon a whit horse. Did he really ride aw hit horse, or don't you recall the color of his horse?" "Why bless your soul; 'call de color ob die hoss '-call de color of it i Do you see dis yer nigh hoss dat I'm driving now? Well, dat's de werry' hoss Mossa Gawge used to ride. He' lef' it to me in his will!'' Just then we reached the station, andl I dismounted from the'hack and paid Washington 's body-servant for his service. No doubt a longer con versation with him would have re ealed other startling facts relating to the Father of His Country.
