Lauderdale, who died in Brooklyn, after living there about thirty years, are notable and are likely to give this ancient little town one star, or maybe two, in the future Baedekers. With the exceptions of those of A. B. Murray in Charleston, Major James L. Coker in Hartsville and D. K. Converse in Spartanburg, there are none like it in South' Carolina. The gifts of Mr. Murray were varied and splendid but they only added attractions to what is already one of the most attractive cities in America to visitors. The gifts of Major Coker and Mr. Converse were in education, needed and notable and of commanding influences in their sections, The. donations of Mr. ^Lauderdale .fire more like fhoafc.iiiLMr. Murray. A number of the towns in South Carolina have libraries, but none of them pcfesibly, quite so handsome as that ^ provided for Winnsboro in the will of Mr. Lauderdale, $100,000 for site and building, $30,000 for books, and $50,000 for endowment. While this is splendid, yet it will not be so distinctive as the equestrian statues of General Robert E. I/ee and Stonewall Jackson. These are to cost $40,000 each, and while it would be ridiculous to compare these with the Colleoni by Verroeehio and Ix:opardi in Venice and the Erasmo by Donatello i" Padua, yet so far as South Carolina is concerned they will be most notable. Probably they will be replicas of -the- wonderful statues of General J Lee on Traveler at Gettysburg, and of General Jackson on Little Sorrel with forage cap in hand on Monumental Avenue, Richmond. The books and paintings of Mr. Lauderdale which are to go into the library will be a feature which will draw attention and the memorial windows to his parents to cost $5,000 to go into the A. R. P. Church will be works of art somewhat exceptional in this part of the country. His gifts to the churches and to Mt. Zion Academy will find their uses and be aids to the increased beauty end spiritual life of the town. But the statues and the memorial windows will appeal most to the artistic sense and backed as they will be by the library and other educational influences they will give a distinction to thfc town and should have a marked influence upon the lives of its citizens.?Columbia Record. Better Stay at Home Oscar DcPriest, negro congressman from Chicago, who has been making addresses in the east and west cussing out the south, stated a few days ago that he was coming into the south to conduct a campaign of education among southern colored people as to their constitutional rights. So far as we have been able to gather none of the colored leaders in the south appear especially anxious to have DePriest preach his doctrine of racial equality down this way. If the colored leaders in the south are wise and there are some Hble men among the colored men and women, the congressman of color will be advised to stay away from the south and to hurl his stink bombs at the south from afar as he has been doing. DePriest, who is said to charge so much per for his addresses, would not find the pickings good south of the Mason and Dixon line.?Yorkvillc Enquirer. Trying To Escape Work Talking of Rafe1 P. King, the man who was convicted last week at Chester for the murder of his wife, a man who has no children said that if he did have any he would make them work. 11c said that King was the spoiled son of doting parents. He had been reared "with a silver spoon in his mouth." He had always done as he pleased. King and his parents are just good examples of the many in the present day. Almost the entire people are engaged in anything but hard work. Older heads who are paying no attention to regular work or business will not be apt to teach their children any such habits.?-Horry Herald. Card of Thanks. We wish to thank our friends, relatives and neighbors, and especially the pastors of the different churches of our town, for their sympathy and kindness during the illness and death of our father and husband. May God's richest blessings rest upon ?H. Mr. and Mra. John Smith, Mra. Frank Moaley* , r y v.. \ ? Last Man's Club Holds Meeting St. Paul, July 21.?Gathering for wh?t may prove to be their last meeting, three old warrior* of another day met aero** the banquet board today -for the annual reunion of the Famou* Laat Man'a club, organized after the close of the Civil war. Age weighed heavily on the trio, all of whom are far paat the allotted span of three acore years and ten, and one, John S. Goff, 85, of.St. Paul, attended in a wheel chair. The others are Peter O. Hall, 21, Atwater, Minn., and Charles Lockwood, 86, of Chamberlain, S. D. Meeting when the three aged ?urvivor* of company "B" First Minnesota volunteer* were two other survivors of the regiment, nfaking it a reunion of the first a* well a* of the Last Man's club.' ' 1 he 43-year old bottle of wine which hue stood on the table every year at tlie last man's club meetings, was brought from its vault in Stillwater, and placed at the head of the board. The club gets its name from the provision that its 'last member drink a toast from the bottle to his departed eomrade*. When the last man has passed on the battle will become the property of the Stillwater library. Meetings of the last man's club usually have been held on July 21, the aninversary of the first battle of Bull Run which was fought 68 years ago tomorrow. But when members of the first Minnesota decided to hold their reunion today, members of the Last Man's club agreed t# make it a joint affair. Gourd vines are growing rapidly in the south this year, according to a recent pi^ess dispatch from :Lockanoka, Ala., and as u result A.jL_Nunn, a farmer of that community, had a turkey dinner considerably ahead of the usual season. Nunu declares that one of his young turkeys went to roost on a gourd vine and that the vine's tendrils grew around the bird's neck during the night, so that when it tried to fly to the ground the next morning it was held by the twining shoots and strangled to death. Mr. Nunn is reported to be a truthful man, and as the tale concern* his own turkeys there appears to be no good reason to doubt his veracity. Anyway, this is his story. Believe it or not. To Move Colonial Residence Henry M. Sage, multimillionaire of Albany, N. Y., who has just signed an instrument which gives him a tenyear lease on Belle Isle plantation, near Georgetown, is preparing to move a, colonial house at Newberry to the garden on Winyah Bay. Mr. Sage signed a lease some time ago which entitled him to the use of Belle IMe plantation for three years, but he was so pleased with the place that shortly afterward he entered into negotiations with the owner with the view of extending the lease seven years. The deal was closed a few days ago. The house at Newberry will be preserved intact. It will be carefully dismantled, piece by piece, transported to Belle Isle and set up exactly as it stood at the old site. The graceful brick chimneys will be preserved, the wall paper removed by sections land again placed on the walls, and the paneling and wainscoating used in its entirety. The old dwelling, which is of pure colonial design, is one of the most attractive in the state, it is said. The mahogany stairways are unusually beautiful, while the wall paper adds much to the historic atmosphere of the mtutsion. Work of removing the house will start at once. Silent Defendants l av Herald has nc\ i r been able to un.ier-tand why an ;i nocent defendant in :i criminal trial should have any fear of going the witness j stand. We believe that the failure I of a defendant to test ify, in nine cases out of ten, places the defendant in a position before the jury of fearing that he will not he able to stick to his story, and thereby injure his defense. It is a defendant's constitutional privilege to testify in his own bohalf or decline to testify, as he sees fit. But there is no coh stitutional reason why the Jury should not put its own construction on the failur: of a defendant to undergo cross-examination, either. And they frequently do.?Bamberg Herald According to a Chicago doctor, says Tho Greenville News, there are lot* of things that cause the "alcoholic breath," such as, for instance, eating a number of apples, too much ice feream and so forth. ThU is a good thing to clip out and.take borne to your wife, advises The Yorkrille Enquirer. GENERAL NEWS NOTES Represer^ffcive Leslie J.

DePrieat Exhorts Negroes To Organize Chicago, July "21.?Congressman Oscar I)e Priest, negro, of the first Illinois district, today exhorted an audience of his race to form their own political party.
