|More Honors for Bishop O'Connell.
I The Fort Mill friends of Bishop
X)ennis J. O'Connell will read
fwith interest the following article
which appeared in the Charleston
News and Courier of
/Sunday:
The news sent-* out from Rome
to the effect that the Pope has
, appointed Auxiliary Bishop Dennis
J. O'Connell, of San Francises,
to be Bishop of Richmond,
will be received with deep interest
and pleasure in Charleston,
where Bishop O'Connell has
many friends. He has, in fact,
been described in press dispatches
as a native of Charleston;
but, while this is nearly the fact,
' it is not quite true, Bishop
O'Connell having been born on
the ocean while his mother was
on her way here, according to
the Rev. P. L. Duffy, of St.
Joseph's Church of Charleston.
He is, however, to all intents
and purposes a South Carolinian,
his old family home being at
Fort Mill, in this State. Bishop
O'Connell is the nephew of three
| Catholic priests, all of whom are
I well known here?the Rev. J. J.
j O'Connell, who wrote "Leaves
From Catholicity in the Carolinas,"
another brother, who
was a chaplain in the Confederate
army, and another who is
rector of a large church in
; Brooklyn.
Bishop O'Connell's appointment
to the Bishopric at Richmond
is a great honor. Richmond
is in the province of Baltimore,
nf whirh Cardinal Gibbons is the
head, and the diocese is one of
the most important in this country.
Dennis J. O'Connell was elei
vated to a titular Bishopric in
, May, 1908, by Cardinal Gibbons,
< at the Cathedral. His sympa|
thies are Southern and he is easy
of approach and democratic in
i manner.
Through long experience at
the American College, in Rome,
and the Catholic University, at
Washington, he has acquired a
great amount of administrational
1 ability.
Mgr. O'Connell was one of the
officials of the Fourth Plenary
Council of Baltimore, and was
selected by the hierarchy of the
United States to carry the decrees
of this council to Rome.
He performed several important
commissions for the Cardinal,
and was rewarded by an appointment
as rector of the
imofipnn College, at Rome. In
this office he was made the
official agent and representative
of the American hierarchy at the
' "Vatican
Mgr O'Connell left the College,
in 1895, and his namesake, Mgr
William J. O'Connell, of Boston,
succeeded him. He then left
Rome for a tour of the East,
remaining some time in Egypt.
As vicar of Santa Maria, in
Trastevere, Cardinal Gibbons's
titular church, he became an
important figure in the Curia.
He was appointed January 12,
1902, to succeed Bishop Thomas
J. Conaty as rector of the University
at Washington.
Hard Jolt for Blease.
The friction between the South
Carolina Legislature and Gov.
Cole L. Blease Tuesday night
reached its climax in the decision
' of the House to expunge from its
journal all but the first two
i paragraphs of the Governor's
; recent sensational message on
i the so-called libel bill. The veto,
which followed a whole day devoted
to argument, was 86 to 26
1 in favor of expurgation from the
* rpporH that Dortion of the Gover
or's message which contained a
bitter attack upon the press of
} South Carolina. The Governor's
' message teemed with hard words,
" "lie," "dirty," "cowardly,"
I "scurrilous," being among the
' choice morsels.

$ Progress of the Interurban.
?| The Piedmont & Northern
> Railway Company, the parent
concern that will operate the
interurban lines throughout the
j: Carolinas, has made a contract
with the company from which it
j is ordering its passenger cars, to
I deliver one of these every week
. until the full equipment has
* arrived and put in readiness tor
operation. The company antici;
pates that the line from Char*
lotte to Gastonia will be ready
~ to transport passengers and
freight in the course of a very
short while. At first the seri
vice will of course be limited, but
e when the full equipment of cars
i and locomotives is placed at the
, command of the company, it will
y be ready to put accommodations

| In a Prohibition Town.
j Those folks who think that the
_ saddling of prohibition on a community
will prevent the sale or
drinking of whiskey in that community
are simple indeed. Ir
speaking recently of the rush of
e thirsty souls of Spartanburg tc
>f get their booze on the arrival ol
x the express from Augusta, The
Herald had this to say:
o "Between 4:30 and 5:30 o'clocle

Mrs. W. A. Hafner Dead.
Mrs. Susie Shannon Hafner,
wife of Rev. W. A. Hafner of
the Fort Mill Presbyterian
church, died Wednesday night
at 10 o'clock at the manse on
Confederate street, after an illness
of several weeks. The
funeral services, conducted by
Rev. Alexander Martin, of Rock
Hill, assisted by Revs. J. B.
Mack, S. P. Hair and T. J. White,
of Fort Mill, was held from the
home at 3:30 o'clock Thursday
afternoon. The remains were
taken to Sharon, the girl-hood
home of Mrs. Hafner, -and the
interment was made Friday
morning. A large party of Fort
Mill friends accompanied the
body to its last resting place.
For several days previous to
her death, many friends had
anxiously hoped for some word
that would indicate an improvement
in Mrs. Hafner's condition,
but the fiat of Him who rules
our incomings and outgoings had
been issued and after a painful
struggle, despite the prayers and
entreaties of all who knew and
loved her, the sufferer's spirit
took its flight to that home the
Christian believes is the fulfilment
of the life everlasting.
Let us, if possible, gather up
the elements of the life of the
departed one and weave of them
a pictute for the walls of memory.
The book of life was
opened and a new name was
written therein by the hand of
love. Soon would the unfolding
beauties of spring time have
charmed her coming. Today the
eternal springtime with everlasting
glories belongs to the departed
one. Her life was a rare
jewel, her spirit as gold refined
in the fire, ready for heaven.
These flowers are emblems of
our love, but God hath bidden
her welcome to that mansion
which He himself has prepared,
where are the songs of the redeemed.
She ran the journey of her life
in thirty-eight years. It is a
path marked with deeds of kindness
and cheer. Flowers not
thorns, sunshine not shadow,
did she scatter everywhere.
With these she was lavish. Truth
was the inspiration of her life
and by kindness she exemplified
its great worth. Was not her
life full of Godlikeness?
The heartfelt sympathy of the
entire community goes out to the
husband and four small children
who have been so deeply aggrieved
at this sad dispensation
of Providence.
Saved His Wife's Life.
"My wife would have been in her
grave today," writes 0. H. Brown, of
Muscadine, Ala., "if it had not been
for Dr. King's New Discovery. She
was down in her bed, not able to get
up without help. She had a severe bronchial
trouble and a dreadful cough. I
got her a bottle of Dr. King s wew
iscovery and she soon began to mend,
and was well in a short time." Infallible
for coughs and colds, its the most
reliable remedy on earth for desperate
lung trouble, hemorrhages, lagrlppe,
asthma, hay fever, croup and whooping
cough. 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle tree.

The Gospel Truth.
It's a mystery to us, says the j
Gaffney Ledger, how Cherokee J
continues to prosper and grow in
the face of the fact that every
year we send thousands of dollars
to Missouri for mules, thousands
of dollars to the West for
corn, meat and flour, thousands
of dollars to the East for insurance,
hats, shoes, clothing,
dress goods, furniture, coffins,
etc. The only thing we have to
sell is cotton and cotton products
and we even buy a lot of cotton j
from other sections. We ought
to raise all our food products,
can enough fruit and vegetables
for our own use, make our own
clothing, shoes, hats, wagons,
buggies and farm implements.
We have iron enough in this
country to supply Pittsburg or
Birmingham and yet we sell not
a dollars worth of it. We raise
a few cattle, but not enough,
send the hides to Western tannery
and buy them back in the
shape of shoes, paying the freight
both ways and giving the tanner,
the shoe manufacturer, the
wholesaler, the jobber and the
local dealer a profit. We send '
our unfinished cloth to Yankee|
land, then buy it back in the
finished article, paying the
; freight both ways, giving the
! finisher, the wholesaler, the jobber
and the local dealer all a
profit on the same raw material
1 we raised right here at home.
I But the worst of all is that we
~ ' ? ^ ~ 4-U ^ Cfnfn
i pay $4{)fUUU a year uuu me uiaic
! treasury and get only about
| $2.000 of that back. It's a
miracle how the country stands
up to the drain and still prospers
in spite of it.
