V NT (-REFORMERS ARE STAMPEDED Columbia, March 4.?The anti-r?,'orm faction of South 'Carolina is vildly stampeded tonight, with no eader to rally them. The news has iome clown from Washington that senator Tillman will make his anlouncement for reelection tomorrow norning and it is persistently rumorsd that Congressman Lever will prob ibly be in the race. If Mr. Lever enters the bars will be et dov.*n and other anti-reform candilates will probably get in the running. Vith Mr. Blease leading the solid anks of- the reform party and the nti-reformers hopelessly mystified, cattered anti-reform leaders are taught sadly asking themselves "where je we.'" There is another persistent rumor hat Governor Manning may beacanlidate for Congress to succeed Mr. -ever if Mr. Lever gets into the sensorial race. The situation Is booming more complex and the ant'.eform skies are dark and laden. In Memory of Horace I*. Harmon, Who Died Nov 15, 1917. Death at all times and under a'! rircumstances is sad. Tt is sad for in old man o1* woman, who has live:" lis or her three score years, to die. t is sad for an innocent little babe hat has just lived long enough to jain the fond affection of its mother, 0 die. Bat when a sweet geptle life ike Horace P. Harmon just ^rowil nto manhood, is called inter the great iternitv, surrounded as he was by 1 host of admiring friends, it is loubly sad. They admired him for tis own. true self, admired him for lis happy disposition and cheerful vords of encouragement to his companions. and because of his true and aithful service as a W. 0. W. He was gentle, kind and true, what nore could he be? May God heal the nanv broken hearts and help them o say. "Thy will be done." In our blindness we cannot understand it. but at last when all life's essons have been learned and we too lave been called up higher we shall :ee and understand.
