Miss Susan McLees, aged 89 years, S months and 26 days, died August 13, 1917, after a long and wearisome illness, which she bore with wonder ful patience and lortuuae, says a Friend" in Friday's Anderson Mail. She was born and lived during her Iloag lifetime in the same house i't "which she died, her parents having moved from Newberry county, S. C., in the year. 1805, and settled tae tome near the Savannah river in t\o western part of Anderson countv, where they spent the remainder of their useful lives, and reared a larg6 and splendid family of sons and daughters, amongst whom were Rev. Messrs. John and Hugh McLees, also the eldest child, James Jefferson, who vas an elder in Roberts church for fifty years or more?a veritable Christian he was. She was too the aunt of three Presbyterian preachers, viz: J. A. McLees, deceased, and J. L. and R. G. McLees, 1 livine:. Early in life she became a member of Roberts church and to the tiay of her death lived and exemplified the life of a true Christian, never neglecting to let her light shine in the ioiwe. in the church, in society, yea, everywhere. She was a general favorite of all who knew her, because of her cheerful disposition and keen Ik wit. which she used to adorn pleasant discourse on social occasions. EveryHI one who knew hf.r loved her.

One of the principal peakers is Former Governor Bleas?. who has accepted an invitation vj make an address at 11 o'clock in the rooming. Asked today what his sub\ ject would be, he said that he woull discuss issues in general. "I wish you would say for me." he continued "that I shall reply to those who have attacked my recent 3peech ?s, and I shall express myself fully iinH thwr attacks. It is a C4rO 1>V ?mw ? public meeting and I am here and now invites them to be present i1 they wish.

WfcrflK smmmmiig today' granted a furtJw re?pit to Mackey Palmer, t\e dr&ngeburs . oegro ^Qtenced to electrocution for murder in the killing of Police Sergt. Franklin, at Orangeburg, during th? , earriy part of March of this year. ftergt Fraaiuin was Kiuea in an m. tempt to re-arre?t the negro. who had esoaped from jail. Palmer was tried at the May term of court for Orange* bnrg county and sentenced to be electrocuted on June 22. On June J?, Governor Manning granted a reprieve tor 50 days, which stayed the electro; cution until tomorrow. Today th? Governor granted a further reprieve until October 12, in order that the case may be submitted to the board of pardons. The killing of Polica Sergeant Franklin created intense excitement at the time, and a lynching was averted only by strategy on the part of the sheriff.

Xicholls at Un- j I ion on Saturday failed to give any j i new hope to the anti-Reform party,! " " ? -? ?? i-.l I wiiicft liaa connaenuy expeiueu umL| Mr. Xicholls would inalie u v-ia.oa.3personal attack upon former Governor! Blease. i As evidence of the glee with which ' they were looking for some foundation j upon which to base another "split" in I the Reform party, the following pa-, i thetic "how much" wire query which j Mr. Allan Nicholson, of I'nion, sent to one of the daily newspapers of the state of which he is local Union cor- ! respondent, may be cited: "Congressman Nicholls, long-time! | friend of Blease, at patriotic rally i here today will sttongly defend ad J --U ? | ministration in war measure anu cim-: I racterize as traitors those opposing! government. Have advance copy of speech." After careful study of the "advance | copy," not a word about "Blease" exj cep "long-time friend of Blease." Ev en with this "advance copy'* Correspondent Nicholson seems to have failed to find any attack upon "Blease," and hence the lack of enthusiasm m the Query, and possibly the lack of a> more legnthy report of the NichollRi speech. Congressman Nicholls' has long been known as a forceful extemporaneous speaker, and it was a surprise to I some of his ck>se frieDds to Know that he had prepared his speech hi advance. The only way they can account for it is the fact that he must have been weighing carefully every | word which he uttered, and from his ! standpoint it is to be presumed that he made a strong address. That he is an able man goes without saying, . ' - J . --L - -.I. ? k(M > notwunstanamg ine upuu una* in the past by the anti-T cvorrn press. One of the newspaper spokesmen of the anti-Reform party devotes a considerable portion of its editorial space this morning to an argument that Congressman Nicholls represents the sentiment not only of his district, hnt of Cotieressman D.miiniok's dis | trict as well. No one questions the fact that the Democrat of both districts are loyal and patriotic. Of cou\?e the effort of the newspaper referred to was to point out another "split." These efforts to make 'splits" are i really getting as pathetic as was the query of Correspondent Nicholson. They simply evidence the fear andi tremmiEg wim which ui? anu-ftcwuu party is watching the peopled movement which is sweeping the state, ! and the scramble to get within their told any one, no matter h<V much - they may have maligned him in the ' past with "dictagraph'* storie* or r otherwise, wfewn they now look upon i as a member of the Reform party. !

If the full, posibilities of the shipping facilities j availed of, and it has always been in- j sisted that they would, this will mean that the 1,200,000 men will be in Europe witfiin the pear.

Germany and Antsria, while President Wilson's peace message, in the opinion of the cardinal, implied almost the whole of the pope's program.
