miles south-west of Yorkville, left j
their young son, about 12 years of j
nge, at home. He, knowing the |

' pistol, and, getting another boy to
accompany him, they went across
Broad liver, at Pitickney Ferry,
with the intention of going to
Jonesville and there take the train
for Texas. After going a short

to rptuin home. They offered
a negro man :J0 cents to put

President
Boosevelt.
In Walterboro, 8. C., there is n
Presbyterian minister named Bev. J
dailies B. Don woody, who ia 85
years old. On December the >8tli,
135,3, be married in ltoswell, Oh.,
Mr. Theodore Roasevelt, of New
York, to Miss Martha Bulloek, of
Uoawell. ^To this couple was born j
that Theodore Roosevelt who ia
now president of these United
8 la tea.
Thus our president ia half New
Yorker and half Georgian; coinbilling
the business energy of the
North with the chivalric courtesy
and boldness of th? South; a repreaeutalive
man of both sections.
Thus he seems to be particularly
fitted for blotting out that sectional
line in po Hies which for a generation
has been constantly drawn
to the advantage of the North and
to the disadvantage of the South.
That he is such a President as
we have long wanted is seen by
his appointment of Ex-Governor
.Tones of Alabama to a Federal
t i l .v -i ?
luugnsmp, inougn ue is a Lieinocrnt.
Also by his telling ?)r.
Clayton of this State, "1 am going
to select tho very beet men for
public positions. Men appointed
to public places must be high in
morals and in every other respect.
If tlit? American people care to
show their approval of my course
uh President, during the three
years and a half tlint 1 have to
serve, by placing me at the head
of the Republican ticket in 1904,
1 should feel deeply grateful. Rut
if 1 have to pander to cliques or
combinations for their approval, 1
would not give a snap of my finger
for a nomination under such circumstances.
My endorsement
must cone from the people of the
country." 13.

"Well, suh," said a Southern
visitor in New York, "1 have always
stood up for my section when
it come to politeness, but I saw
something in one of the kyars of
nn elevated train in New York
that knocks the spots otT of our
boasted, high-bred, gentlemen.
The kyar was comfortably tilled;
every seat was taken, when in steps
a couple of eullud cit zens. I reckon
I'll have to say eullud in New

woman. Her man was with her. j
They were dressed rut ha neat, 1

up arose and tippin' his hat to the
cull ml woman says, 'Have tny seat.'
And doggone if she didn't take it,
jest as though alio was in the hahit
of bavin' white men tfive her a

"At a fust blush I wanted to hit
