people, and they know the man you . are. Because they know you they are your friends?and upon this beautiful token of their esteem they have engraved the words whicti spring from their hearts: "Of what should a man be proud if he is not proud of his friends." "These people of your home county have honored you in the past with the hisrhest trusts they had to repose, and here, where you are known, the tongue of slander is without avail to shake their confidence in your uprightness end your, integrity, and in your determination to stand for their rights. Confident that an overwhelming victory will again-be yours on the 27th of August, we who are here assembled and your supporters throughout Newberry county want to express the hope that the present campaign has already exhausted the bitterness or tnose wnu oppose you, and that during the next * two years of your administration, and throughout your life, peace and prosperity and happiness may abide with you, and with the grand old State of South Carolina." . ' Gov. Blease seemed to be deeply touched by this token of esteem, and feelingly expressed His tnanKs. Mr. .Tno. T. Duncan was introduced at th? conclusion of the governor's addres:, and spoke for about 15 minutes. Mr. Duncan said the newspapers hated him ;noi e than they hated Blease.

Teteran Xember of Legislature and Former Lientenant Governor of ^ x the State. Greenville, Aug. 13.?Senator William L. Mauldin died at his home in XX ^ -fVlirt ATT^n 171 O" Cif. mis city at o v mid W4. I ter an extended illness. Several weeks i ago Senator Mauldin was taken to the mountains of western North Caro- j Hina in the hope that the high altitude j might prove of benefit, but on last Saturday he grew rapidly worse and he expressed a desire to be brought home at once that he might die on his native heath. Senator Mauldin's service to his State had been conspicuous, having served as State senator and lieutenant governor, holding the i 1 former office at the time of his death. I Senator Mauldin's funeral will be held at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon. William Lawrence Mauldin, well known throughout South Carolina as a business man and legislator, was born in Greenville June 13, 1845. His parents were Samuel and Carolina McHardy Mauldin. His father was a merchant, a sterling man of ScotchTrieh 11 ICu. vtvk/w Mr. Mauldin's childhood and youth were spent in Greenville. He was fond of outdoor sports and combined with this love of activity a passion for reading. / After attending the village school he entered the school of Stephen D. Lee, at Asheville, N. C. He entered Furman university, >aut in February, 1861, before his course was completed, oniictpri in the Sixteenth South Carolina infantry. In June, 1863, he enlisted in the Second South Carolina cavalry and served in this command until the end of the war. In 1867 he began his active business career as clerk in a drug store in Greenville. Later he became Droprietor of that store and also became interested in other commercial enterf . prises. While the Greenville & Laurens railroad was under construction he \ was president of that company. Diligent and upright in all his business dealings, he won the confidence of the people among whom he lived, so that in 1875, when he began to take an in-! terest in politics, he found his course laid out straight before him. In 1S77 'he'was chosen mayor of Greenville. In 1882 he became a member of the State legislature from Greenville and in lit? WctS tu tJia^ o^uacv* Two years later he was chosen lieutenant governor and was re-elected in 1888. His course in that office was notably fair and impartial. During his term the question of the acceptance of the conditional bequest by Thomas G. Clemson of the former hoftie of John .C. Calhoun was decided. The vote was a tie, and Mr. Mauldin, by casting his vote for the acceptance of the bequest, insured the establishment of Clemson . college. The Tillman movement of 1890 caused Mr. Mauldin temporarily to retire from public life, but in 189S he again entered politics and ^vas elected to the legislature. He was reelected in 1902 and two years later re-entered the State senate, where he served until the present year, when he decided to retire. Mr. Mauldin has several times been 1 ^^^^^Democranc^^ount^^^h^rmai^^^f^ Greenville. He was a past master of Masonry and was a past grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. In the truest sense of the words his was a public life. He has ever striven for the upbuilding of his town and his community and for the best interests of his State. Senator Mauldin was a warm friend of the Confederate: comrades, and served with ability as. commander of R. C. Pulliam camp and as chairman of the general committee in charge of the State reunion at Greenville in 1897. By his marriage in 1870 to Eliza Thompson, daughter of Col. John F. Kern, of Laurens county, he leaves five children living: Carolina Louise, ^ - ?? TTTC T r\ rrrnAr* r\r\ TrvVin LTSCar VV HJHitiLL uan icui,c, ouuu McHardy and Mary Chambliss. PROTESTS IXXOCEXCE AS HE DIES. Alex TYeldon Electrocuted for Crime of Xurder. l Columbia, Aug. 13.?"In a few minutes I will be in the presence of my God and the man they say I murdered. I could not go to my death with a lie - 1 ' T J-'-v -NO xinrVif A VA On my ups. jl wuui iu saj ngm uviv, that I am not guilty of the murder of Mr. Moye." With the above statement and others made in a ten-minute talk just prior to his electrocution, Alex Weldon, convicted murderer, went to his death at the State penitentairy this morning. The condemned man was marched to the chair at 10 minutes after 11 o'clock, the current was applied at 11.15 and death was pror?nnr:red in one minute and two sec onds. Innocent, He Said. These protestations of innocence have been made throughout his entire imprisonment to his spiritual advisers and prison authorities. The crime for which Alex Weldon was this morning electrocuted at the State penitentiary was the murder of a prominent farmer of Florence on the night of October 28, 1910. STIR IX SENATE. La Follette Claims His Mail Has Been Opened?Point Comes Up in Debate. Washington, Aug. 12.?The senate today, after five hours' work on the postoffice appropriation, reached an agreement to vote on the measure at '4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. TMon,,cciAn nf tVip hill was pnlivened L/10VUt701VU vjl v? late in the day, when Senator La Follette, speaking on the house provision granting to employes of the postal service the right to organize, deliberjately charged officials of the postoffice department with rifling his mail in | an attempt to delve into an investigation he was making into the postal j service. The Wisconsin senator declared that his mail had been subjected to "an espionage almost Russian in charac I tor" ana ne saoweu xu iue'?cnaiuio ? i bundle of letters which, he said, had been tampered with. "Absurd" and'"ridiculous" are adjectives applied to Sensftor La Follette's charges by officials of the postoffice department. It is declared positively that if the senators' mail had been touched the crime, had been com!mitted by somebody, not connected with the department. LEFT HOUSE WITH SLOW STEP. 1 j Congressman Catlin, of Missouri, Unseated Monday Night. Washington, August 12.?Representative Theron E. Catlin, of Missouri, Republican, was unseated to-night as a member of the House of Representatives and his Democratic opponent, jwho contested the election, Patrick F. j Gill, was seated amid wild enthusiasm from the Democratic side. The vote to unseat Catlin, who was charged with violation of the Missouri law gov_ jer'ning campaign expenses, was 121 to 171. Gill was seated by a vote of 106 to 79, with 23 voting present. I Opponent Takes Oath, i Mr. Catlin, just before the first roll call, left the seat he had occupied in the centre of the Republican side of the House and went to his desk, far in the rear. He lifted the desk lid and, J using an adjoining chair as a repository, removed all of his books and pai pers. Like a school boy who had been dismissed from the school room, he left the chamber with lagging steps, Stopping only to grasp the outstreched I hands of sympathetic friends. Threequarters of an hour later his success' ful rival stood before the Speaker's desk and took the oath of office. I The case, throughout the seven hours | of debate, was bitterly fought on both | sides. Representative Anderson, of I Missouri, Republican, who conducted [the argument in behalf of Mr Catlin, f f I made a spiri red defence. |.. Spent .$10,000 he Elected. I The charge against Mr Catlin "was j that he and his family had spent $10,200 to elect him to congress. The Missouri law prohibits an expenditure by | candidates of more than $662. Other , charges of fraud were made, all of j which Mr Catlin denied knowledge of, | He also denied that he knew at the j timp nf anv exDenditures made by his j father, and brother.

Gaffney, Aug. 12.?Ed Brady, a well j i known young Cherokee county farmer, j j who lived near this city, was drown ed in Broad river, near Goat island, j this afternoon about 4 o'clock. A party of fishermen left the city this morning for a day at Broad river. The party went in seining and young Brady, who was a poor swimmer, got j in water too deep for him and went j ' down.

Up to this hour the l 1 jbody has not been recovered. . ; Brady was about IS years of age,; ; and enjoyed a good reputation in the i community. Ingenious Old Jars. From time to time fresh illustrations are afforded as to the ancient's ingenuity, with special reference to what are termed the "lost arts." . Recently it has been shown that the ] old Peruvians 'must have understood ' the laws of atmospheric pressure in i order to construct the curious jars and j vases they left. One of these pieces of j, pottery was ornamented with the fig- 11 ures of two monkeys and when water | ; (was poured into or out of the vessel 'sounds like the screeching of monkeys i was heard. Another similar vessel has i |the figure of a bird that uttered appro- . jpriate notes; another was ornamented , " * .... - ?! with a cat tnat mewea ana anoiuer with snakes that hissed. An ingenious , water jar bore the form of an aged woman on whose*checks tears were 1 seen to trickle, while sobs were heard ( when water was poured from the jar.? .
