It is a pleasure to have our distinguished1
former townsman with us
again. We are glad to claim Mr.
Haynes as one of our adopted sons,
having married one of our fairest
daughters. Miss Bowers, during his
sojourn here as teacher in our graded
school. Sin.ce leaving here 7 years!

and from Home to China through the'
Indian Ocean. Mr. and Mrs. Haynes j
will spend the summer here with "Mr.!
L. S. Bowers'- family and in Leesville !
with Mr. Haynes' mother.
1 lie memorial exercises on Mondav
afternoon were listened to and appro-i
ciatod by a representative number of
people. Opposite the rising young!
Americas sat those who were perhaps
the 'little boys who boat a drum
or carried a gun' in Company G in
the unpleasantness of the sixties, I
now grown old and greyer than the I
grey they wore so nobly. As a lesson
to these soldiers and soldiers-to-be
were many women who remained behind
and bore the heat and burden of
the day when "On to Hichmond" was
the cry and still others who were
proud of the honor of having a father
or ? grandfather who followed
Haskell and Hampton.
The orator of the occasion, Rev. W.
IT. Tliller, was introduced n:-..;t happily
bv He v. Mr. Ivreps. Mr. Miller
spoke wittily and humorously upon
men (pratieularly women) and things
for a few minutes and then announced
his theme "The Battle of Id eas''
So choice, so fitting a subject commanded
attention and sympathy at
once. He showed how the conflicting
ideas of Jefferson, the Democrat, and
Alexander Hamilton, the Imperialist,
resulted. The real causes of the
war were incidentally mentioned, but
the past with its glorious memories
and it's furled banners and its cause
which is not lost were held up as an
incentive to great things. Rev. Miller
made an eloquent appeal for the
South to take the lead in things intellectual,
artistic and aesthetic. He
recalled what the world owes to southern
countries, Greece, Italy, France,
et al as over against northern countries.
He remarked the material prosperity
of our Southland and the result
of a similar golden age during Elizabeth's
reign when England gave her
priceless legacy to the world of letters.
The future of America is in
our -hands. It is for us to produce
paintings, sculpture, and literature
that will endure with time. After
dwelling at length upon our opportunities,
privileges, riches and the full
future before the South the oration
was closed with reminiscences and expressions
of good will toward the
north and everything for God and native
land.

TILLMAN NOT MISQUOTED.
Mr. Kohn Points Out that the Sena- (
tor Was not Quoted as Approving
Cleveland.
News ami Courier.
Columbia, May lii.?111 the inter- s
view published in (he Sunday News I
Senator Tillman's views on the Cleve- *
land phase were quoted a.s follows:
"Me thinks Bryan can beat any I
other man than Roosevelt in the He- !
publican party, and it the Democrats 1
could get a Cleveland, not Mr. Cleve- 1
land in person, but a man who stood i
i lor the same thin*?, and could com- <
mand the suuport that Cleveland (
.does, "it would be a shame to take |
Hie money" the way such a eandi- ;
date would run away with the race i
i and hi' elected to the presidency." ]
Senator Tillman protests and his ,
views are now fully and* carefully set ;
forth as follows:
| "What I did say was that Wall '
, street would welcome one of the old ,
I plutocrats as the Democratic nominee,
'prelerring io support such a so-called
j Democrat than Taft. who will be the |
[ Republican nominee, or Hryan, who
will be the Democratic nominee, and
I that if the Democratic party could
( unite upon one of these Eastern plu,
tocrats, which it will, of course, not
| do, then Taft would be easily defeat- ,
i ed.''
J A no time was Senator Tillman ever ,
quoted by me as saying he personal- ,
ly favored Mr. Cleveland, lie said if |
Cleveland or a Cleveland Democrat were
nominated he would be elected, i
but that all we would get would be j
the offices, as there was no difference
in principles between the Cleveland ]
Democrats and Republicans. Mr. Till- j
man has simply forgotten. If he ,
will reread the interview and not
editorials or comments he will see
that the original interview and that
published today are identical as far
as they ?o?the success of the nomination
of a Cleveland Democrat. lie
still says that if the party could unite
"upon one of these lOastern plutocrats"
that party success would be
certain. Mr. Tillman never said, nor
was he quoted as saying. that he was
a Cleveland Democrat. A. K.
ORPHAN HOME TO
GET DORMITORY.
Grand Lodge Was Charmed by the
'Children and Gave (Money for
New Building.
Columbia, May 13.?'Twentv-four of
the children from tho Odd Fellows
Orphan Home at Greenville, were
brought upon the floor of the Grand
Lodge, I. 0. O. F., this morning and
as a result of their winning presence
the raising of a fund for the erection
of a new dormitory at the home went
with a whoop.
Within tive minutes subscriptions
amounting to $1,700 were secured,
and District Deputy J. G. Long, of
Union, introduced a resolution appropriating
$1,500 for the dormitory
from the Grand Lodge funds. In regular
course this had to be referred
to the finance committee by whom,
however, it is almost certain to be
favorably reported.
Telegrams of greeting were sent
this afternoon to the Grand Lodges of
North Carolina and Virginia, both of
which are now in session
Deputy Grand Master G. A. Neuffcr,
of Abbeville, who is due to be
elected Grand Master tomorrow, is detained
on account of" illness. A letter
of sympathy was dispatched to him
I today.
Tail Spells Ox.
i A lady was one day teaching her
| little uirl how lo spell. She used a
j pictorial primer and over each word
was the accompanying illustration.
Polly glibly spelled " o-x, ox," and
"h-o-x, box," and the mother thought
she was making "very rapid progress,"
perhaps even too rapid. So
she put her hand over the picture
and then asked:
"Polly, what does o-x spell?"
I "Ox," answered Polly nimbly.
I "How do von know that it spell
'ox?"
j "Seed his tail!" she responded.

HOLD COTTON.
Prosidont. B. Harris of tlio Stato Farmers'
Union Issues a Ringing
Letter to Farmers.
President B. Harris of the State
Farmers' lTnion has issued the following
circular letter as to the cotton
situation:
If there ever was a time to hold it
is now. Cotton has advanced threelourths
ol a cent per pound in one
week. What is the cause?
Is i beanse, trade conditions arc
better or a case of neccssilv? Futures
cannot he spun and woven into
cloth, il they could, cotton would not
have made this advance. Do not let
a little advance in price influence you
to sell. Hold (in till (he minimum Is
reached. Remember the col ton broker
has sold your cotton to tin* mills;
new make him yive the minimum before
he .yets il in deliver to Ihe
mauuIaelurer. I'liey arc calliny him
for cut ton is why il 1::<< advanced.
Now boys, freeze l<. it, and the
price will yd riyht. The spot cotton
is in your hands, and it is yours. The
other fellow is beyinniny to want il
badly now. Remember I,.">00.000 bale?
short, means somcthiny and the
short aye is all in your favor. We all
know that crop conditions are bad.
not only cast of the APississippi, Vml
west also.
The cotton crop is at least three
weeks late and bad stands, and Ihe
eohl weather lias caused much replanting.
Every day will have fo rv*
an ideal day from now until Ihe crop
is made for us to duplicate the 1#07
crop.
Miss CJiles says Ihe ycueral condition
of the crop is l.~> per cent, better
Ibis year than last. Remember
this is only yness work with her and
is a yuess 'hat is far wrony. She yet 5
pay foi this yuessiny.
The F.nropean mills now want cot ton
and I hey will need 1.000,000 bales
more ol American collon this vear
than they have been usiuy. The Kyvplian
and India crop is 2,000,000 bales
snort and they have been yet tiny most
of Iha! co| Ion.
Iliyli tirade cotton is scarce, not
enouuh to til) onl'is thai have been
contracted for. lloldiny off Ihe market
has been the cause of Ihe rise.
Hoys, if you hold. Ihe minimum wlTI
come, so do the riyht thiny ;il Ihe
riyht time, hold; remember corn is
$1.00 cash now, still plenty of lime
to plant yd, so raise cnouyh food
crops to do you next rrnr.

FIELD BARLEY TURNED OATS.
Remarkable Freak of Nature on Mr.
T. W. McClure's Farm.
Anderson Mail.
Mr. T. W. McClure, a prosperous
tanner ol Rock Mills township, was
in Ihe cily today and was lelliny of a
remarkable farminy experience that
he has had.
Mr. McClure had a field planted in
barley last year. The field was a new
yround. full of slumps, and he did not
attempt to cut the yrain. Tl fell to
the yround duriny the fall, and liiis
spriny a new crop of yrain came up.
Mr. McClure says it is now bending
out, ami thai it is oals instead of
barley. He says he planted no oats,
and that the field was certainly in
barley last year, and lie caunol account
for Ihe Iransformat ion into
oats ill's year.
When we want a man for a difficult
task we are not yoiny to hunt for
the one who look the prize as the
best wnlt/.cr at Ihe picnic.
Whenever we sif- a man riyyed
nil in lodye reyalia we lauyh lo
think what mean lliinys some men
say of the dress fads of the women.
The man who pays for the "Nferry
Widow" hat can not appreciate the
.jokes about them.
