CAMPAIGN OPENS FOR UNITED STATES SENATE FIRST MEETING HELD IN COLl'MBIA TUESDAY. ?? >. B. Dial ana J. W. Talbert Address the Voters?Senator Tillman Sot Present, Columbia, June 25.?With 100 voters j present and devoid of features the! j campaign for the United States senatorship opened here today, the speaking taking place in the court house. The contenders in this race are former Congressman Jas. W.-Talbert; of Edgefield, former Mayor N. B. Dial, of Lauren, and United S+ates Senator B. K* 1 llilUclIl. J5t?JLi<lLUl X xiiuiau ttdo uvt present today, he being in Baltimore in attendance on the National Democratic convention, and he will not make the campaign on acconnt of his: rendition. Messrs Dial and Talbert had the thing to themselves today and the > meeting was very tame. Both of the candidates confined themselves to a discussion of the national issues and avoided all reference to the conflict raging in State political circles. Col. Dial is runong as a progressive ' candidate and a business man and be lieves that he should be elected, "because of the principles -which he advocates, and also because he is a young man, being 50 years of age. Col. Tal; bert argues that his ten years of service in* the lower house of congress fits him. for the position of United States senator and that he should be > the winner. Both unite in saying that on account of Bis physical condition " ?- mill V.+ i. ~ senator numau. uugui iu Solicitor W. H. Cobb, who is unopposed, made a short address. Con-, gressman Lever, also unopposed, was not present. Tonight Messrs Dial and Talbert addressed the voters at Olym- j pia mill village and tomorrow will speak at St. Matthews. Small CroTvO. About 50 people were in the court house when Countv Chairman H. W. i Rrim-n-nrlc -rarroed for order. Solicitor; W. H. Cobb, who is unopposed for reelection to the solicitors^"p of the 5th j judicial circuit, was first presented j and was received with cheers. He j r thanked the people for their support | and expressed his appreciation. T-Te mentioned his hopes of having the laws governing the selection of juries, especially as to peremptory challenges, changed so as to work to the better enforcement of law and order and expedite court machinery. He j wanted the number of peremptory: challenges decreased, which would make towards more co-operation be -1 tween the. people and the oncers f j the court. Mr. Cobb renewed his j pledge to his people to do his duty. j " and said that in Richland some steps j should be taken to give the solicitor assistance in prepay 1113 euutuice jj . ^ - * criminal cases. He closed with, liberal j applause. On the suggestion of Mr. J. \V. Tal- j hert Mr. Edmunds called on the Rev. J. j ? P. Knox, who offered prayer before the j senatorial candidates >>ej?an spealving | Forester and Lumberman. American Lumberman, June 22. Faithful allegiance to an enterprise; and faithful adherence to a principle bring many remards. Tnere is the satisfaction of having done good things well. There is the success that! certainly follows consistent thought; and action. In the lnmber industry especially1 are many notable examples of men who have devoted their lives to the r\w catkia nortionlar nVlocfl JtJJAl UOll Ji VI W OVUIC7 pui Wivuiui |/UUAJV of it, and who have been long connected with houses of national standing. In some instances that connection be-: gan in the early days of the enter-, > prise when its proportions were smal-1 ler than they are today. It is fair,1 ~ therefore, to give these men credit for j having contributed a share toward the i ? upbuilding of these particular con-' cerns and th? development of the in- j dustry in general. It is the purpose j of this article to indicate in a small way the part that Charles L. Trabert, secretary of the various C. A. Smith ' companies, has played in the operations of that great lumberman and in shaping public thought and policy regarding conservative lumbering. No j better example can be found of a man | who has grown with his company, i whose capacity has kept step with his increasing responsibilities and increasing opportunities for Jabor that would count In the rapid development of great industrial enterprises in this country the pace often becomes too swift for the little man; by tie j potential big man the pace is relished and accelerated. Charles L. Trabert was born April * 30, 1871, at Ephrata, Pa., where his father, Rev. George H. Trabert, wras pastor of an English Lutheran cOn Igregation. Dr. Tiabert, the father, is j j of Pennsylvania Dutch stock, of a j; [family descended from a line of Ger-<' ' man burgomasters, back to an ances-1 tor who was a soldier under Gustavus j lAdolphus. Dr. Trabert is still active! in the ministry as pastor of Salem j ? * * * * -*-1 - ?>*: 1 Englisn i^umeran cuurcui, iuuiiueapui- j is, Minn., at the age of 70. The mother's maiden name was Mary Elizabeth i Minnigh. Her ancestry was mixed , Pennsylvania Dutch and English < stock, the first American Minnigh \ coming from Munich in 1622. Dr. Trabert has been active in the ministry A A ..Ai T-c- onH in 1883 went. iilUl ^ III & II IV J Cai Oj CUAU A vwv .. to Minnesota as missionary for the j Lutheran synod. He established Eng- 1 lish Lutheran congregations in Dul- i uth, Fargo, Red Wing, Minn.; La , Crosse, Wis., and other cities, and for years was the only English Lutheran minister in the Northwest. He wa* back in Pennsylvania for five years, , but, except for that time, he has mads i Minneapolis^ the centre of his field of j labor 28 years. i When Charles L. Trabert was young , i +r\ T.o.han/"?n Pa)1 D LUC i <3,11111 Jr UJ.W ? ^Vl W 1JVWI.UV/" , - , where Dr. Trabert preached until it moved to Minneapolis. Charles attended grade school in Lebanon, and, after going to Minneapolis at the age ( of 12, attended the grade school and ( went to the central 'high, school three ] years. He was a member of the first < manual training class in the Minnea- 1 polis schools, having an aptitude for j, mechanical drawing especially, which , stood ihim in good stead later on. He . then went for three years to Gustavus Adolphus college, St. Peter, Minn., but j had to leave these to earn his way. The summer after his last year at college he entered the employ of C. A. Smith for the first time. He was set \ { " ^ r\ A Cmifti ! . to WOTK in tne umce ui a. uuuw j & Co. in the lumber exchange, draw- |, ing maps and plans, and that summer ! began to gain his knowledge of stand-1. ing timber, directing his future inter-!. ests and activity. # In the fall Mr. Tra- j, bert was engaged by Mr. Smith as j, a? r? orvn Hc/oar Smith.

They went to Florida and spent i< the winter there, returning the next! i summer to Minnesota and spending '. the summer in the woods in the Pine;. River district. They lived at a sum- j mer farm camn for the logging crews, j ( went with the driving crews, and got] plenty of first-hand information and j ( experience witih timber. That falli, they went to Newberry, S. C., where i ( they spent the winter, and Mr. Trabert j. was able to arrange his work so that j he took his final year of college work , at Newberry college, gaining his de- : gree of bachelor of arts in June,- 1894. That year at Newberry proved import- , ant in another way, for June 25 Mr.1, Trabert married Miss Harriet Abney J1 TT*"~11"c V*.&tttKot?it?v Ao li crh toy r?f Os- i >\ U1 i>C?v Utl X J, UUU5"WA va. w ~ ,. , borne "Wells, a prominent planter. Mr. [ ] Wells, like thousands of South Caro-j, linians, entered the army, serving as j a commissary officer until the close of the Civil War. He is still managing! his estate, which is on the outskirts of!, Newberry, partly in the city. T The young couple went direct to:" Minneapolis, where Mr. Traberfc per- i. manently entered the employ of C. A. i dmith & ro then a Dartnership of C. |' K/UU4V** W ^ _ A. Srxiith and former Governor John , S. Pillesbury. He became identified with the timber end of the business j' at once and at the end of a year be- ! came private secretary to Mr. Smithy!' a position he has held 17 years, looking after Mr. Smith's personal busi- j ness and, in a growing degree, to thei' 9 j < financial side of the business. Soon 1 after his coming to work the C. A. ' Smith Lumber Co., a corporation, was ' * a i\/r,y. T-rahort wras in the em- i ' IOOJUtJU. iU* ? a. * _ ploy of this company and private sec- J retary to Mr. Smith until January 1, iL 1904, when the C. A. Smith Timber Co. T was formed with capital stock of $1,- j 000,000, taking over all the timber j' (holdings of the company. Headquar- jj ters for thi$ end of the business and for Mr. Smith personally were moved 1 from the mill in north Minneapolis to ; 1 the Andrus building, where they were ; until moved this May to tne more aa- j vantageous point, Oakland, Cal. As the timber holdings in Minneso- ( ta became cut the C. A. Smith Timber ^ company acquired timber interests in 1 the West. Soon subsidiary corpora-1 tions were formed to handle different:1 phases of the western business. Of * each company Mr. Trabert was made ( secretary. He holds this position in 5 the C. A. Smith Timber company, of ( Oregon, a $6,000,000 corporation; the ^ Linn & Lane Timber company, with ' $3,000,000 capital; the C. A. Smith Lumber1 and Manufacturing company, ( with $3,500,000 capital; the Smith- ( Powers Logging company, $500,000; !1 the Inter-Ocean Transportation com- c pany, $25,000; tne u. a. smiui rn company, and six or seven minor corporations. Mr. Trabert early became int T?sted in forestry, or rather in what be terms conservative iuniDermg." .tie nas ? made the subject a study. Mr. Smith, who has always been favorable to and advocated such a policy, placed Mr. Trabert in general charge of the forestry department. He has had the Hiirarv in Minneauolis. UCTOL lUltdt i * u i , which now is moved to Oakland. He spoilt a week with the late J. E. Defobaugh and others studying with Dr. C. A. Schenck, at Biltmore, X. C., the methods of reforestation employed there. Mr. Trabert has written considerably on the subject and has talked before numerous bodies, campaigning to direct public sentiment a.nd to stir up interest in reforesta tion. He has argued strongly for doing away with prohibitive taxation of timber lands. His theory is that the only way to get justice in this regard is to get the public to see that it is to its interest to get trees grown ratiher than have them sacrificed. Mr. Trabert is in direct control of tne foresters in the C. A. Smith employ, and of that branch of the business. While the company has given up reforesting its Minnesota lands, several men trained under Mr. Trabert's direction are employed now in the Minnesota service by State Forester W. T. Cox. Mr. rrabert is a member of the National Forestry association, the National Geographical association, the Archaeological Association of America, and kindred bodies. He also is a member dX the Oregon Conservation association, and consulted with the Secretary of State of California in regard to formation of the California Conservation association. As the Smith timber was cut off in Minnesota and the interests on the Pacific coast grew, an attempt was made to handle the business from the Minneapolis offices, but this was given up as impracticable. Mr. Smith looked about for a western location and decided upon Oakland, for the rea- i son that the five timber districts controlled by the Smith interests?two fir tracts and one spruce in Oregon, and one redwood and one sugar pine and yellow pine tract in California? i all are tributary to tidewater. Being! * hip tn handle all of them with water j transportation, the logical point for a | headquarters was where all the routes I would best naturally converge. That' point is Oakland. It is on the main- j land where no transshipment is nec-1 essary, and is convenient to Bay! Point, the distributing centre for the! company, where the yards, planing | ? Uaw 4-r\ r?-T r r\ r?Q TllA 1 LJLllJLi auu UV/A ia\zLUi j iuvutvu, ? .?> . company occupies nearly an entire floor in the Syndicate building on Broadway,' Oakland. This is Mr. Smith's western headquarters and the headquarters of all his1 companies j save the eastern end of the C. A.! Smith Lumber Co., which is still j manufacturing in Minneapolis. After; the Minneapolis mill shall cease to j operate the company will continue to j have Minneapolis interests in the box; factory, the Northwestern Compo-' Board factory and the Mereen-Johnson Machine company. Mr. Trabert lor Is ysars has made' his home in IVJdieauolis, i:i a ixttle i residence property at Thirty-ninth and ; Lyndale avenues N. He has moved i his family, consisting of Mrs. Trabert! and their 15-year-old daughter, Doro-; thy, to Oakland. In Minneapolis Mr. j Trabert was a member of the Univer- j sity club, the Interlachen club and active in many other organizations, j He enjoys golf, hunting, fishing and i >ther outdoor pastimes. He 'has been : president of the Minneapolis Choral1 club, director of the Philharmonic club and on the executive committee j Df the Federation of Men's Church j clubs. He hag. been active in Salem j English Lutheran church and choir- j master of its vested choir. During his business activities he found time to take a night course in law at the University of Minnesota, was graduated in 1899, and was admitted to the bar. He will ask admission also in j California. He finds this of value in! the company's relations with real es- j afp phstrartf?. etn. To the Oakland offices Mr. Trabert! :ook with him from Minneapolis, L. E. Minar, cashier. J. S. Brown, auditor Df the companies, left Minneapolis in !

D. j Smart, now of Boydton, Va., and who j has filled many pastorates in leading churches of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, of South Carolina and other Southern States, and of Mrs. Smart, who is a sister of Representative Wvatt Aiken, of the Third South Carolina district, will be interested to hear that Dr. and Mrs. Smart's youngest son, Gaillard, is -to be married next month to one of the wealthiest and most attractive young women in Uncle Sam's island territory, as the result of a romance which is good enough for a fairy book. Young Mr. Smart, who is just of age, met Miss Thelma Parker, of Honolulu and San Francisco, on his way from the California city to the Haw anan capital a tew monins ago, 10 accept a position in a Honolulu banking house. The couple fell in love at first sight, and the sequel is thus told in a recent issue of a Houolulu newspaper: "Mr. and Mrs. Fred S. Knight announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Tfcelma Kahilu Parker, to Mr. Henry liamara smart, or uoyaion, i Va. "The news of the engagement of this ; popular young couple has been known ! for several weeks by their relatives and closest friends. Miss Thelma, as nearly all know, is the only daughter of Mrs. Fred Knight, of San Francisco, where they have made their home j mrvct nf thp time, harrin.e- occasional I journeys to their beloved Hawaii. Early last December Miss Parker, in company with her mother and their guests, Mrs. Waterb'iry and Miss Hil J -r-? _ x ^ ? x _ /v? aegarae HiUion, came iu nuuuiuiu uu the Korea, as they wished to pass Miss Thelma's coming of age (18) on the ranch of which she is inistrees, and which is so dear to her heart. St. Patrick's Day, last March, was made famous in the islands by the elaborate celebration which marked the great! event in her life, and now, closely fol- ; lowing on the heels of this affair, comes the splendid news that Miss Thelma is to wed in a few weeks. "Surely no one could be happier than this young girl, whose romance reads like a page from some treasured fairv tnlp wihiArein thp nrincess. who 1.(4.** J X * . is dazzlingly beautiful and wonderfully good, falls in love and wins the man of her choice, with no disapproving parents to say nay, inherits a vast estate and fortune and finally marries ; in great pomp and splendor?and lives happily ever afterward.

"The date for the wedding has not, been finally decided, but it is probable that it wll take place in the last week in July, as Mrs. Knight leaves for her home in San Francisco about the 7th of August. Miss Harriet Bradford, who was a school chum of Miss Thel- I i ma's, is to be maid of honor, and Mr. Smart is to have as his best man Mr. Robert McCorriston, who played the prominent role of introducing the young people each to the other.
