Winiuiboro In Luck
The public bequests to his native
town, Winnsboro, by the late Thomas
W. 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.

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.

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.
Declaring that there were 100 or
more congressional districts in the
United States with sufficient strength
to send negroes to the lower house of
Congress, De Priest charged his disteict.jKith
being "backward and unuccomplished
politically."
"I'm in Washington to serve my
race," he asserted, "and I haven't
even begun to fight. I'm the only one
of 435 congressmen who will appoint
a negro to Annapolis or West Point.
"1 may go to Congress, for only
one term, but in that term l'll be a
congressman. The other congress*
men go to the congressional barber
shop and I go there, too. They go to
the congressional wash room and so
do I."
Alt Taylor Gives
His Valedictory
Klizabethton, Tenn., July 21.?Alfred
A. Taylor, lone survivor of
Tennessee's famous "War of th#J
Roses" and former governor, delivered
his valedictory to Happy valley
here today with a plea for arbitration
of disputes in the new industrial- order
that has come to the mountains.
The 83-year-old Republican statesman
addressed the Carter County Citizenship
league, formed in consequence
of the prolonged labor disputes
of a few months ago. Hun-;
dreds of the mountain folk, some stJill
farmers and many mill hands, gathered
to give him farewell. He said''
it would be his last speech.
Massed roses on the platform and
one on the lapel of his coat were
reminiscent of classic debate 43 years
ago when he and his brother, Bob,
stumped the state from the same
buggy?Bob with a white rose, a fiddle
and Democratic platform; Alfred
with a red rose, a seemingly unending
fund of stories and a Republican
label. Bob won, but in 1920,
eight years after Bob's death, Alfred
followed him to the governor's mansion.
