There is one good thing about President
Roosevelt. Wenotieethat he has
recently purchased a fine pair of horses
to be used in the White House carriage,
and he firmly refused to buy a horse that
had his tail docked. He is not to follow
the ridiculous style of docking the manes
and tails of his horses, and we are pleased
to note it.

Politics is certainly invading every department
of the government. There are
several judges to be elected at the coming
session of the legislature, and candidates
r, ? are announced just as if the position was
a regular political one. That such a condition
of affairs exists does not look well
for South Carolina. If we are to have
confidence in our courts, the judiciary
should be kept clear of all semblance of
politics. At least the position of judge
should seek the man, and not the man the
place.

Bro. Holmes paid his respects to us
last week in a somewhat lengthy editorial,
in concluding which he remarks that his
"strongest point in proof of the benight/i
In/ioo Af thn nnnrvlo in tlin COOtlAn \\']\PrP
vauvoo v/i tuv ^;v,v|/iv tu vuv cwviv** ??uv?v
Josh Ashley is boss is the alleged fact
that they are followers of McLaurinism."
The idea of making such a statement
about the people of Anderson county on
an "alleged" fact 1 We fear our contemporary
is entirely too reckless for a man
of his age. Not a "fact" but an "alleged
? fact!" Really The People editor ought
to go off and take a rest.
_______
The only attention that need be paid to
Bro. Holmes's editorial is to remind him
that a comparison of the number of office
holders and politicians in Barnwell and
Anderson proves nothing whatever in
the way of the intelligence of the masses
of the people of either county. Anderson's
citizens have simply not offered for
public positions. To be perfectly plain,
Barnwell has to a great extent depended
upon politics; Anderson has gone ahead
in a business way, and the.ir many flourishing
manufacturies and other industrial
enterprises, as well as the general progressiveness
of the county, shows conclusively
that its citizens must be possess
ed of average intelligence. Anderson's
people have the reputation all over the
State of being among the most progressive
of any county in South Carolina, and
while comparisons are odious, as our
friend of The People says, we doubt not
but that Barnwell county would make a
poor showing compared with Anderson
in the number of its schools, the attendance,
libraries, the excellence of its school
buildings, highways, public buildings, and
all the important items which go to
make up the intelligence and progressiveness
of a people, But we must protest
against the attempt of Bro. Holmes to
shift the ground of this argument. We
said that his statement that the people of
Anderson county were "benighted" was
not true and was a slander upon the people
of that county. He also included the
statement that Josh Ashley was boss in
that section, and our protest covered this
as well. In our article we stated that the
people of Anderson were fully as intelligent
as the people of Barnwell. Bro.
Holmes attempts to prove that this is incorrect.
If he will excuse us, that is not
the point at issue. We want proof of his
charge that the people of Anderson are
"benighted" and that Josh Ashley is
"boss." After this point is settled, we
will cheerfully take up with him a comparison
of the intelligence of the people
of Anderson and Barnwell and bring forward
our reasons for making the state
ment that Anderson's citizens are as intelligent
as those of Barnwell. Stick to
the argument, Bro. Holmes, and bring
forward the proof of your assertions.

After Melton's Scalp.
Washington, D. C\, October '27.?President
Roosevelt is up against another controversy
over a Federal appointment in
South Carolina. There is a big light for
the official scalp of I'nited Stales Marshal
Law so 11 1). Melton, whose term of office
is not supposed to expire until some time
next year. There have been frequent
grumblings against Marshal Melton's administration
of his office, w hich have culminated
in indirect charges of inefficiency
being lodged against him both at the
White House and also at the depaitment
of justice. So hot has the tight become '
that Marshal Melton has come to Washington
to face his accusers and at the
same time try and strengthen his grip on
the new Administration. Melton says he
does not believe his enemies can force
him out before his term expires and he
proposes to contest even* point that may
be made against him. It is understood
that he lias the irieiuismp oi District Attorney

An Old Scceder Church.
In Fairfield county, S. C., is an old
Seceder church, built of brick. A massive
rock wall, granite blocks laid in
cement, surrounds the church and graveyard.
The church is popularly known as
the "Old Brick Church," though its
founders called it "Ebenezer." It sits on
an eminence in a beautiful grove of oak
and hickory a few hundred yards from
Kincaid's bridge over Little river. The
Confederates, when retiring before Sherman
in his march through that part of
the State, destroyed the bridge near the
church, and Sherman's men tore up the
flooring and sleepers of the church for
material to rebuild the bridge. Of course
the church was long ago repaired, but
the following notice, written in pencil on
a facing of the door, has been permitted
to remain as marking a bright spot amid
the horrors of war, and is plainly legible
today:
"Citizens of this Community:
"Please excuse us for defacing your
house of worship so much. It was absolutely
necessary to effect a crossing
over the creek, as the rebs destroyed the
bridge. A Yankee."
The historic church, whose cornerstone
is as old as the American revolution,
is the place where the "seceders" of

are up in arms against this combination,
and that was the prime reason for
the legislature's action. The great difficulty
about the whole matter is to prove
that such business combinations are
trusts from a legal standpoint. Even if
it is so proven, the matter will drag along

MARLBORO'S MODEL FARMER.
A Native Carolinian, who has .Made
a Million Dollars 011 the Farm.
Tin: Benneltsville correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution gives the following
sketch of Mr. A. J. Matheson, of Blenheim,
S. whose success as a farmer and
countrv merchant has been quite notable:
*
Alexander James Matheson, of Blenheim,
Marlboro county. South Carolina,
is in many respects one of the most remarkable
men in this State. He was
born in this county in 1848, and his father
Donald Matheson, was a native of
Attadale, Scotland, but came to this country
when a young man, and was a lawyer
by profession. A. J. Matheson, 011 account
of the war between the States, was
deprived of a finished education, but is
noted for his general information and
lias 110 superior as a financier and busi
nest; manager.
Like many Southern boys, he returned
from the war penniless, but brave,
patriotic and determined. He at once
entered upon his father's devastated farm,
endeavoring to repair the damages
wrought by Sherman's army, at the same
time eke out a living for himself, father
and sister.
In ISM he accepted a position with a
prominent planter in Marion county, in
this State, as foreman of his farm. In
1870 he worked for the same gentleman,
operating a three-horse farm, receiving
a portion of the crop as compensation
for his labor, doing the hardest
kind of manual work himself. During
the year 1870 he married a most estimable
lady. Miss Ellen Jarnigan, of Marion
county, and Mr. Matlieson admits that
much of his success is due to her cooperation
and wise counsel. They have
had nine children, five daughters and
four sons.
In 1871 Mr. Matlieson rented a small
farm and operated a limited mercantile
business, which proved unsuccessful. He
was discouraged, went West and visited
many sections beyond the Mississippi
river, but being unwilling to locate in
that country, he returned home, with renewed
energy and determination. He
again entered the mercantile business and
from the beginning was successful, mak
iiij; uiwiiuy iii|nui\. in 1040 uu puii^iiaaed
a twenty-five horse cotton plantation,
among the finest lands in the Pee Dee
section, going in debt for the most of the
amount. He continued his mercantile
business, amassing wealth with amazing
rapidity, and year after year purchasing
large plantations, his commercial rating
all the time growing.
Later on, Mr. Matheson moved to Blenheim,
a small town seven miles south of
Bennettsville, where he purchased property
and continued the mercantile business,
his trade extending many miles in
every direction. He has reared a cultured
and intelligent family, having given
all of his children, who are old enough, a
collegiate education to prepare them for
the rugged battles of life.
He is the largest real estate owner in
Eastern Carolina, and his lands are fertile
and valuable. Among his large plantations
are "Brown's Creek," "Attadale,"
"London," "Arcadia," and "Egypt," besides
many smaller places. He" operates
two hundred plows and last year made
on his individual farms about 1,609 bales
of cotton. All of his plantations are provided
with telephones, artesian wells, retail
stores, modern barns and improved
ginneries. He has a three-story brick
mill house at Egypt on Crookeu creek,
roller patent process, with a capacity of
50 barrels of liour daily.
His wealth is estimated at $1,000,000.
He is the largest taxpayer in this section
of the State, employs more hands than
any other one man in the State, is liberal,
affable and optimistic, carries his own
insurance and has not a dollar on his life
or property.
He has traveled extensively in Europe,
having made several visits to his father's
old homestead in Scotland. Lastvear he
and his daughter visited the Paris Exnosi
tion anil made an extended tour throughout
the different countries of Europe.
In 1878 Mr. Matheson purchased valuable
real estate in the town of Benncttsvillc
and erected a very large two-story
brick store house on the tracks of the
Atlanta Coast Line rail-road, in which he
has since conducted a grocery business
under the name of the "Marlboro Wholesale
Grocery."
TIiis enterprise succeeded from the beginning,
owning its own warehouses, cotton
sheds, seed scales, etc. Before Mr.
Matheson established this wholesale business
another firm was conducting,
most successfully a smiliar business, but
only two months ago the old firm sold
out to the "Marlboro Wholesale Grocery"
and the two businesses are now combined,
supplying a large territory and employing
quite a number of salesmen.
In August of last year Mr. Matheson
formed a copartnership with C. E. Exum
in the wholesale business, and this year
the business will sell three-quarters of a
million dollars' worth of goods, and
this rapid increase indicates that within
the next year this enterprise will do a
million dollars' worth of business. Mr.
Exum is a cotton buyer of much experience.
lie is a North Carolinian and a
business man of extraordinary ability
and sagacity. He purchases annually
several thousand bales of cotton, and it is
reported that Matheson & Exum will put
in a cotton compress plant at this place
to prepare cotton specifically for the export
trade.
Mr. Matheson is a member of the Presbyterian
church and a great Sunday
school lover. He never fails to contribute
to all charitable purposes. He has a
magnincent liome, a cultured ana accomplished
family, himself a fine conversationalist,
and there is no home in the
Palmetto State where the "latch string"
hangs out longer than at the Matheson
homestead.
She Got the Money.
A poor couple living in the Emerald
Isle went to the priest for marriage, and
were met with a demand for the marriage
fee. It was not forthcoming. Both
the contracting parties were rich in love
and in their prospects; but destitute of
financial resources. The father was obdurate.
"No money, no marriage."
"Give me lave, your riverence," said
the blushing bride, "to go and get the
money."
It was given, and she sped forth 011 the
delicate mission of raising a marriage fee
out of pure nothing. After a short interval
she returned with the sum of
money, and the ceremony was completed
to the satisfaction of all. When the parting
was taking place the newly made wife
seemed a little uneasy.
"Anything on your mind, Catherine?"
said the father.
"Well, your riverence, I would like to
know if this marriage could not be spoiled
now?"
"Certainly not, Catherine. No man
can put you asunder."
"Could you not do it yourself, father?
Could you not spoil the marriage?"
"No. no, Catherine. You are past me
now. I have nothing more to do with
your marriage."
"That aises me mind," said Catherine,
"and God bless your riverencc. There's
the ticket for your hat. I picked it up in
the lobby and pawned it."
"For three days and nights I suffered
agony untold from an attack of cholera
morbus brought on by eating encumbers,"
says M. E. Lowther, clerk of the district
court, Centerville, Iowa. "I thought I
should surely die, and tried a dozen different
medicines hut all to 110 purpose. I sent
Tor a bottle of ('hamlierlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrluea Remedy and three doses
relieved me entirely." This remedy is for

The Unready Seeker,
A Georgia darky went out to an old

Presently lie heard a flapping as of

his head from sight.
Suddenly there was a loud knocking at
the door, and his startled wife cried:

Not a Fixed Star.
A prisoner with one leg and charged
with intoxication was brought to police
court yesterday afternoon and he proved
to be the most interesting specimen of
the hobo fraternity that has been there
in some time. When asked his name, he
replied that he was "deaf, dumb and
blind." Court Officer McKiernan heard
the man's answer and nearly fell olT a
chair.
"What's your business?" asked Judge
Brady.
"I'm an astronomer," said the hobo.
"Has your star of hope ascended yet?"
the judge asked.
"Well, from the present surroundings,
I should judge not," he replied, with a
smile.
The fellow was too humorous to lie at

Safe ltlowers at Williamston.
Willtamston, Oct 25.?Last night the
office of the Williamston Oil and Fertilizer
company was entered and the safe
blown open by dynamite and robbed of
its contents. Fortunately the cash had
been deposited in the bank at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and there was but
$53.94 in the safe. This amount was
taken by the burglars as a reward for
their daring deed.
This morning as J. U. Duckworth, the
bookkeeper, entered the office of the
company he found the door open, and
upon entering the building lie discovered
that the safe had been blown to atoms.
It was evidently the work of experts, as
there was but one hole in the door, winch
had been drilled just at the right place to
blow the door to pieces with the explosion.
A shop hammer, two chisels and a
brace were found on the floor by the safe
where they had been left by the burglars.
The tools had been stolen from some
shop nearby it is supposed, but they have
not been identified as yet.
Blood hounds are now being used, but
up to this hour, 0 a. m., they have been
unable to strike a trail and it is believed
that the burglars left town in a buggy
after accomplishing their purpose. A
strange white tramp was seen about the
oil mill yesterday and he is being hunted
this morning.

One of the instructors in a local school
told this story: "I was trying to explain
to my class in French the method used in
that language to express the different i
degrees of comparison. 'Now, then,' I
said, 'let us take the adjective black. In ,
English we have it positive black, com- (
parative blacker, superlative blackest.' ,
Then I proceeded to explain the difference
between the English and French
methods, Turning to one of the boys in
my class I said: 'Now, Richard, how do {
we compare the adjective sick in English, 1
and how do the degrees of comparison j
appear in French?' 'Why. sir,' said ;
Richard,'in English we would say: Bos- j
itive sick, comparative sicker, superlative
dead!' I need hardly add that his French
method has not reached me yet."?Rhila- 1

he blown oil if you lean so far out of the
window!" exclaimed a fond father to his
son, who was travelling with him in a
railway carriage. Quickly snatching the
hat from the head of the refractory youngster.
papa hid it behind his back.
"There, now, the hat has gone!" he
cried, pretending to he angry. And
George immediately set up a howl. After
a time the father remarked :
"Come, be cjuiet: if I whistle, your
hat will come back again." '
Then he whistled and replaced the hat
on the boy's head. "There, it's back
again, you see."
Afterward, while papa was talking to
mamma, a small, shrill voice was heard
saying:
"Papa, papa, I've thrown my hat out
of the window! Whistle again, will you?"
