Heyward, of South Carolina, was in the city for an hour or two last evening, enroute from Co lumbia to Greensboro on private bus iness. He was the guest at supper in the Manufacturers' club of Mr. E. R. Preston, after which he spent some time in the Obesrver's office. It took only a moment for the boys to quiet their typewriters and gather about him, for he is -a most attractive gen tleman, handsome, bright, full of in stances, and perfectly frank. -"I'have long since learned never to try to keep anything hid from a news -.kpbitan,"h-e laughed. "They-like to.loaf in my office, and I do not stint to tell them anything. If I show con-. fidenee in th4m they never abuse it; but when I try to keep secrets they get them anyhow and then do as they lesse 'wifh them. "For instance, I got a letter once from a man in Germany. I put it in my'pocket and never mentioned it to a soul.- Next day a reporter came to ny office and told me all about it." "Well, then,'' said a reporter, ''we want 'your views about the Parker proposition-a southern candidate for * resident." "I have no 'views' '' he said. ''As! to South Carolina, it will have no can- : didate to offer." "But I see some papers speak of It you in that connection," the reporter continued. i "Yes," he said. "But., of course,i there's nothing in that but pleasantry. What do you think of the Parker proposition?" This parry meant an end to the top ic, and the reporter turnied his atten tion to his personal plans in politics. "My term expires soon." said the governor, "and then I intend to i-etire from politics for a while any way and turn my attention to private y business. Whether I shall reiire per- a manently or not I cannot,now say, be- e ing a young man and not 'knowing 'i what may turn up. ~ He wanted. to be pleasant-perhaps t he cannot help- being 'pleasant-but I he did not want to be interviewed. t Mr. Osmond Barringer. came in and'p the governor at once became interest- * ed in his family connections. He f had been a schoolmate of one of Mr. o Barringer's brothers, had had another Ie: as his guest recently, and had known t his father. This put him into re- b mininiseences of other families. When c; some one expressed surprise at his i wide acquaintanceship, he said he had t< a reputation on that score. il "My mother came from the low ei country' of South Carolina, my fath- oi er from Georgia. I was .born in Co- ir lumbia, educated in Pennsylvania and w Virgina, married -in Virginia, and am -p an Episcopalian. That.'s a great mix-f ture to g'et governor-timber from,e isn't it?''-" This expression was ineidental to 'I his reputation for knowing people. K *Just then entered Mr. John Ross,.b whom the governor had met here at st the Greater Charlotte club banquet. e It was a chance to test his reputation. aj He recognized Mr. Ross immediately, jsc and said. "Now, there!'' to the oth- m ers. o "This reminds me of an occurrencem in my office today," he declared."A i good many of my friends were in fr there, when someone told me there le was a countryman outside who want- S ed to see me. He says he met you at er a picnie' several years ago.' I was h told. 'and1 he heard tell th:at youl never K forget peoph. Hie wants to see if al vou remembe)r him, mn ''While they were bring'ing~ him inl. a f'rieihd suggested. 'Oh. just (call him se Mr. Smith.' but I didn 't have the face ne to risk it. I told him I was ;dad to t mai nutes. "*But you. donf't know who I am' s he doubted. '' 'No- it wni.nn 't(1 for me junt thI if Superi ierate. The only V exceptionally automatically Policy-holder for more thar according to d surplus protection, which is ti 3 the additional security of the S1 ge and address, and we will IT NOR to say what your name is,' I replied, 'since it has been so long. But sup pose I guess that it's Smith.' "He laughed, 'You knowed,' he said. The governor carries sunshine along with him. It is not hard to account for his popularity, and, being a young man, if something does turn up in the future to draw him again into -pol itics, there is no danger of his being defeated. Governor Heyward went out on the same train which brought Senator Tillman in. The distinguished spon sor for the rate bill was the guest of Mr. D. A. Tompkins in the Manufac turers' club. He was here only be tween trains, and had nothing of im portance to say for publication. ' The.senator had just come. from meeting with the board of trustees of Clemson college, he being the presi dent of the -board. Among other things about .the college, he said that is detire is that it shall be so organ zed that cotton mill men may leave heir work a week or a month or a ear, as they may desire, and take in 5truction in the textile department. rhere is much need of this sort of op ?ortunity for the men who cannot ifford the time for a four-years' ourse. Of course everybody in the club 1 vanted. to get about him and hear vhat he had to say. He was in fine ~eather and in a mood for jollying. ''You Charlotte people,'' he said, - n connection with reference to the ispensary question, ''being prohibi ionists, drink your jugs and kegs, in tead of taking it by drinks, half- ' >ints and pints, as my friends are do- ' ag in South Carolina.'' He had left his pitchfork in Wash agton. The only regr-et the reporter hadi ras that the two South Carolinians id not overlap. Schurz's Flight From Germany. -( Carl Schurz is spending these last I ears of his varied career in a useful t nd pleasing task. His "Reminis- E enees of a Long Life'' now.running t 1 McClure's Magazine, grip us all, 1 oung and old, with their vitality, in- v~ nesting subject matter, and the b ossiping smoodhness and intimacy of leir style. These memoirs began t ublication in November, anid in the ~ .pril nuiiber Mr. Schurz is fleeing i com Germany. after - the Revolution . f 1848 in which he played such an ta riting but unsuccessful part. Af r s'everal stirring chapters he will j. ein the publication of his Ameri- I m memoirs, which will furnish a mnning commentary on American his iry from the early fifties, through ie Civil War, and down to the pres- e it day. But for the present we hold a .ir breath at the recital of those days ~ the heart of the enemies' country, e hen Schurz with a price on~ his head otted the escape of his friend, Pro ~ssor Kinkel. When these Reminis nee~s were announced, none- of us :eeted anything so exciting as this. C e April instalhnent, "Rescuing inkel from Spandau Jail'' is much tter than your usual successful N ory of adventure. because it is true -ery word of it, and you know you p -e dealing with flesh and blood per ns to whom a hitch would have a: eant disaster. After the surrender -:( Rastatt, Kinkel was imprisoned ei ider life sentence in the penitenti- p - of Spandau near Berlin. His a iends conceived a plot of rescue, b i aving the entire matter in young hurz 's hands. lie tells how elev l he escaped detection at Spandan. w attempt after attempt to bribe nkel 's jailers failed, and how fin yv the right oneC was found, and mths of schemes and stratagem mn re b)rought to a~ head, a trifle upl t everything. But Schurz and his cmpl)ices accep)ted on the heel of is failure a dlesperate chanee, res ed Kinkel, and started across Ger VeV for Ilhe Bahi~e Sea. This is co. lean, truth ful, adventurous iting. O,ue's chief criticism is that *IN r01 OF roitV O TH Thole Life Policy written which provides paid up life insurance i face value, in 20 to 32 years, age of the insured. ie security offered by any other tockholders of the Company, wh mail you a specimen policy RIS. Ger What's In McClure's. McClure's for April has the fresh ness and cheerfulness of spring. You will want to read it all. Its articles, stories and verses, have a rare charm for the shortening evenings. Mary Stewart Cutting's "Symphony in Coal," which heads the table of con tents, is another of those fascinating sympathetic stories of married life. The most hair-raising chapter of ad venture that has been published in a long time is the sixth instalment of Carl Schurz's "Reminiscences of a Long Life:" "Rescuing Kinkel from Spandau Jail" is a story of intrigue and hairbreadth chances in the shad ow of the gallows, told 'vith the hap py swing of youth, that holds you from first word to last. Best of all it is true. "Some Diet -Delusions" by Dr. Wood Hutchinson, is not only amusing; it has a very definite pur pose, it scarces away the old bogies. After you have read it, you will eat a square meal with a clear conscience. Perhaps the most timely paper in the number is Perceval Gibbon's sketch f Count Witte, who is the crux of the situation in Russia. Mr. Gibbon has studied his subject at first hand, and ais deduction is daring and surpris ng. Clara Morris contributes anoth ,r charming chapter of reminiscences )f the world behind the curtain, hrough which walk many of the old ectors and actresses of our early lays. Stewart Edward White's fourth .rizona Nights story, ''The Ranch 'oreman 's Yarn;'' the Cattle Rustler ;tory, gives a phase of western life bout which little has been writtet itherto. The story defines a bad man n no uncertain terms. Other fiction n this splendid number is: ''Identi 'ying Anne'' by Jeanette Cooper; 'The Struggles and Triumph of Isi tro de los Thfaestros'' by James Hop >er; ''Two Pairs of Shoes'' by Jo enh Lincoln: ''The Snitcher'' by Fred L. Boalt; and ''Mr. Nickerson 's tar'' by Mfary Moss. The poems re: ''On the Ranch'' by Moira ) 'Neill, ''Give Courage, Lord'' by .B. Bridgman. ''Song of the Souls hat Failed'' by Marion Couthouy mith. There is an interesting edi rale by Ray Stannard Baker.- which ae odoubt about the grounds on ihM.E. L. Philipp of Milwaukee rings his suit against McClure 's. The number is beautifully illustra ed by such artists as Alice Barber ;teph-ens; Charlotte Harding, W. latherell, Mfartin Justice, George Tarian, N. C. Wyeth, and Mary Pres-J on. ,OW RATES TO NEW ORLEANS The Southern Railway will sell tick ts to New Orleans, La., and return t extremely low rates from promi-. ent points (a few of which are nam d below) as follows: arnwell.... .... .... ...$14 03 amden .. .... .... .....15 35 harleston .... .... .....15 75 olumbia .. .... ........14 40 hester .. .... .... ......14 70 ock Hill .. .... ........15 15 rangeburg ... /..'.. 14 75 *orkville .. .... .......14 55 Equally low rates from other oints: Tickets will be on -sale April 22, 23 id 24. limited good to return April' )th.
