E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, September 15. 1908. The Kingstree Record thinks fur the sake of truth the contradictory statements as to whether E. D. Smith was a member of the Haskell conven tion in 1890 should now be settled. There were probably two E. D. Smiths in Sumter in 1890 and it was the ,other E. D. Smith who was a delegate from Sumter. The cotton crop in this section of the cotton belt is going to be short and if the piice remains low there will be a lot of farmers who will not pay expenses. br. James A. B. Scherer preached a plain practical sermon at the Luth eran church on Sunday morning but one full of meat and stated in the forceful style characteristic of all the public utteraices of Dr. Scherer. He said the need of the church today Was moie pure and simple and child like faith and then there would be more genuine religion among the professing christians. - This seems to be Josh Ashley's good year. He has been elected at the head of his ticket to the legislature from Anderson county; his son goes as a member of the legislature from Abbeville county; and his son-in-law, Mr. J. N. Rearman, who is a mighty fine fellow, by the way, is elected clerk of court of Anderson over Mr. J. C. Watkins, who has held the posi tion for over sixteen years. The Smiths lost out in Georgia but they are sailing on high tide in South Carolina. The defeat of J. Wright Nash is to be regretted. Mr. Nash has been a legislator of recognized ability and was one of the leaders of the house. Experienee counts in the halls of leg islation as it does everywhere else but that does not seemr to be looked on as a desirable qualification by the voters of Spartanbrg count':, as te have defeated about all of the memn bers who offered for' relction. The m;en they- have eleezed are just as good muen pe.rhaps as those defeated but they 1:ek the experience. As soon as they have acquired expertience th.ey too are likely to be defeated by inexperienced men. It's just a way the voters have. They like to crack people's heads .somnetimes jist to show that they have the power.--Spartani burg Journal. This is true of a great many coun ties. In selecting ment for the legis laitnre the voter too often votes for personual preferences or dislikes rath er than for fitness and efficiency. A man who has had experienee is always better equipped. Of course experieniee is not the only consideration to take inito the aeeonnt. THE LATEST "WIZARD." . Has Secrets Which Not Even the Gov ernment Can Share. The first "wizzard " we had in New Jersey was Leo Daft, builder of an~ electric ear that drove all other electrie cars into innocuous desue tude. The second wizard was Tom Edison. whose electric lights now il luwinate the world. And now, says the Newv York Press, just as Edison is retiring from the commercial field of invention, in which he has amassed a large fortune, looms ivizard No. 3-a youngish man in Greenville, a deep eyed German of some 40 years, med ium height, spare (as a wizard. should be), plain, modest, silent and master of detail. His name is Oscar Wieder hold. The world does not know him as yet, but it will soon. The other day I found Wiederhold in the basement of his factory work ing at a lathe. There were all kinds of lathes and drills and planes and presses and saws and other power machines surrounding him in this me ehanical laboratory. "What are you doing?" I ventured. "Oh, just per fecting a universal attachment for all lights. Such an adjustment is' need ed to standardize cluster burners, arc burners and all inverted gas mantles. We have to keep a little ahead of the times, you know." Wiederhold manufactures lights for the U.nited Stares grovernment accord ing to' secret processes that have heen in his familr fou or five generations. Hie does not dabble with electricity. "Leave that to Edison." he says. He has a little cast-iron cylinder which ound.

"I am the last survivir son. When I die the secret will d scend to my oldest son, as it has d scended to me. At present he is i rtter ignorance of its nature, bE cause I vowed never to repeat it I any one during my life. It must de cend to my heir. It involves the di] ping and bleaching of mantles.

It a difficult task t1 keep clean phys eally, even with all the modern a sistants,-and it is far more diftieu to free oneself of the _,ermsofmar and mental dirt than it is to keep o1 bodies free from the dust of tl street.

A Division of Purpose. Everbod y 's. Some years ago the Yankee schooi er Sally Ann, under command c Capt. Spooner, was beating up i Connecticut river. Mr. Comstock. ti mate, was at his station forward. A cording to his notion of things tI schooner wa gtetting a "'leetle'' tc near certain mud flats, which la along the larboard shore. So aft i: went to the captain and, with hi Ihat cocked on one side, said: "Cap'n Spooner, you're getting leetle too close to them flats. Hadn ye better go about ?" The daptain glared at him. "Mr. Comstock, jest you go fo: 'ard and tend to your part of tU skuner. I'll tend to mine.' Mr. Comstdek went for 'ard in hig dudgeon. "Boys,'' he bellowed out, "se that that ar mudhook 's all clear ft letting go!" "'A.y, ay, sir!'' "Let go, then!'' he roared. Down went the anchor, out rattle the chains. and like a flash the Sal] Ann came luffing into the wind an then brought up all standing. M Comstock walked aft and touched h: hat. "Well, cap'n, nmy part of the skmn er is to anchor."' The New Lamb. A minister of a fashionable chure in Newark had always left the greel ing of strangers to be attended to b the ushers until he read the news paper articles in reference to th matter.

His information is e extensive and he knows what others g about him for a considerable radius - are doing, but he is not given to - talking much. Of the father th:re is n told an anecdote which has become a classic in Meriden. o His knowledge of the financial condition and position of others was - known to be more accurate by far e than that of the general run of peo d ple; who find when a man dies that n they really knew little of his real ;e standing, and on one occasion an ac quaintance sought to take advantage of this. A mutual friend had died and the questioner wished to dispel the general doubt as to how much money ho had left. "John.'' he said to the present !Boston & Maine magnate's father, I see So-and-So is dead." It "I guess he is.'' remarked John 1 Billard. "They say so, anyway.' r The other moved closer in a very ,e confidential way and spoke in that n intimate tone.
