One of the most interesting visitors in the city is Milton Nicholson, who arrived in the city this morning fresh from his home in the mountans in the Whitewrater section. This is his first visit to Anderson in eighteen years. He came to visit his nephews, R. E. and W. P. Nicholson. "I'm in my 79th year," said Mr. Nicholson, "and I have been living on my place .up in the mountains since I was married?55 years ago. My wife, myself and one child stay together. My son Pick lives a short distance away. We live a mighty good life up in my country?nothing much to worry us, and we live peaceably." Mr. Nicholson is a typical mountainer, and he is proud of it. He came wearing a homespun pair of blue trousers and a homespun brown shirt. "Yes, my old woman made my trousers and shirt for me. We raise our own sheep, and she does the spinning. I walked in Moss & Ansel's store at Walhalla to get me a coat this morning. The one I had was a little too heavy for this low country. I told the clerk that waited on me that it was the first coat I had bought since I got married. Fifty-five years is a long time to go without buying clothes, isn't it? Well, that's a fact" Mr. Nicholson wears a Masonic badge quite prominently on the lapel f his new coat. "So you are a Mason,, are you, Mr. Nicholson?" inquired a representative of the Daily Mail. "Yes," he replied. "I have been a Mason for fifty-one years. My first membership was with old Keowee lodge at Pickens Court House. When the district was cut up, and since I was living on the east side of the river I got a demit and became affiliated with Blue Ridge lodge at Walhalla. I am still pretty well versed in Masonry. My mind is clear and I remember a gre^t deal of the work in the lodge." * - * -- - ii.. i 1:./. wnen asKea as to iuc uuuuus ?uu fishing up in his section Mr. Nicholson said that Whitewater is full of fish, but on account of the preserves being established no fishing or hunting there is allowed. Mr./Nicholson looked up some of his friends while in the city. He remembered all of those he met years ago, and seemed very glad to talk with them once more. The old mountaineer asked the reporter his name before leaving "him. "Why I remember well that name. Some men by that name from the Pee Dee section were in the army, I remember them perfectly." "You served during the war, then, Mr. Nicholson? What regiment were you in?" he was asked, "i was a cavalryman," said he, while his eyes became dim with tears. "I served under Wade?Wade Hampton. He was a good and great man," said the old mountaineer very tenderly.? Anderson Mail. Negroes at Convention. The editor of the Light, a negro paper published in Columbia, went to the Chicago republcan convention, and wrote it up. The following extract is taken from his write up: Cincinnati is worse than a south nan hor^lr Cpt S m IUWU. Jt\. ucgiu vail uiumi; o ? i morsel to eat or a drop to drink outside of a negro dive, which is located in far out-of-the-way spots. 'Don't serve colored men" at Mr. Taft's town. We turned up in Chicago about 10 o'clock Monday, all going in different directions preparing for the fray. Mr. Capers' headquarters were in the Grand Pacific hotel and truly also of necessity did the South Carolina negro frequent the place; but is soon as the election was over the proprietors drove the negroes out of the fine place with cuss words and talk of violence.. Some say it was by instructions of Capers, and others say that the proprietors ordered the whole batch out, white and black alike. Either case was justifiable; because it seems that negroes take too much liberty wi^i white men when pnce granted the least privilege. Smoking and drinking together, and lounging on the white men's beds in the hotel, and otherwise intruding themselves on white men, hugging them up and tapping them on the shoulder, is disgusting and should be to a whole souled southern negro, especially when he knows the same white men would not tolerate such Familiarity for one instant in South Carolina. No, the negroes would get their heads knocked off. Decent negroes should disdain such sham familiarity, even away from home. Boy Wounds Brother. Florence, July 27.?One of the most deplorable accidents in the his tory of Florence occurred yesterday afternoon when Willis Johnston, eldest son of Mrs. Rufus Johnston, was shot and seriously wounded by his younger brother Frank. It seeips that the two boys had been hunting the day before and on coming home removed the shells frpm the gun and left both shells and gun on the back piazza. Yesterday morning, while the rest of the family were at church Willis, finding the gun on the piazza, reloaded it and left it in its place. A few hours after when Frank came home he picked up the gun to take it in the house, and having left it unloaded, naturally thought it still | in the same condition. As he came; in he began snapping me nammers, and the gun was discharged, the load going through the door leading into the sitting room and striking Willis in the abdomen and inflicting a serious wound, which will probably prove fatal. The wounded boy was taken to Charleston last night by Drs. King and Gregg, where he will be treated at the Roper hospital. This sad affair is greatly deplored by the people of Florence, as Mrs. Johnston and her children are all very popular here. Several years ago Mrs. Johnston's husband, the late Rufus Johnston was killed in a railroad wreck, he being the engineer of one of the ill-fated trains, and this trouble coming cm her makeg the people of the city doubly sympathetic. No report has yet been received from Charleston as to the condition of the wounded hoy. I ....... -m* i? - . >- , -* *,??? - ? . , -J?J -1 BEQUEST TO NEW YORK. ? Nearly $200,000 Left by Woman for t Improving Public Grounds. a New York, July 22.?Corporation 4 Counsel Pendleton has received the * legacy of $187,876 given to the city \ by the will of Betsey Head. She a died in June last year, and left one * half of her property to various chari- \ table institutions and the other half ^ to the city, to be devoted to the ijn- * provement of grounds of the metrop- V olis. ^ Mrs. Read was for many years the j housekeeper for George Taylor, of S Great River, L. I., who died in Sep- ^ tember. Taylor, a son of the late 2 Moses Taylor, lived as a recluse at J noo. Acslirv onH at thp timp M | Li ID cotai^ u^ai xxciip uuu Mb vmv v.^ of his death was reputed to be worth d [about $20,000,000. About twenty J I years before he died Mr. Taylor went to Europe and returned with Mrs. 2 Head and her infant daughter. Who J | Mr3. Head was, Mr. Taylor's neigh.bors never knew exactly. He install- 2 ed her as his housekeeper ana secre- J [tary and treated her as his social fi [equal and the child grew up as his 2 ward. Mrs. Head practically manag- 3 ed Taylor's business affairs and so well did she manage her own affairs ? about $400,000. Lena, the dai^gh- 3 that when she died she was worth i ter, about six years before her moth- 2 er's death, eloped with William F. 5 Boodley, the family coachman. Bood- f ley afterward found a job as a gard- 2 ner on the nearby estate of William 3 K. Vanderbilt, but his young wife i never saw her mother again. Mrs. 2 Head bequeathed $5 to her daugh- 3 ter. There was some talk of a con- I test at the time, but the threat was 2 never carried out. There was in Mr. 3 Taylor's will a clause leaving $500,- I 000 to Lena, but this was removed 2 after her elopement. The Taylor es- 3 tate was distributed among relatives I and charitable institutions. 2 Killed During a Gun Drill. ^ Newpdrt, R. I., July 23.?Joseph ^ J. Henry, an ordinary seaman and d powder passer on board the new bat- J tleship Mississippi, was killed during | a gun drill in one of the forward ^ eight-inch turrets to-day. his neca- j erchief caught in the training cogs | of one of the guns and he was drawn d into the machinery and his neck bro- J ken. K Henry was 19 years of age and en- d listed at Memphis, Tenn., in October J last. His next of kin is a cousin, { Charles McCaslin, of Jackson, Tenn. d Capt. Fremont of the Mississippi J has ordered an investigation. { Governor Ansel's Course. j Governor Ansel is treating his op- J ponent, Mr. Blease, wyh entirely too ( much consideration and seriousness, d The governor's vigorous defense j of his administration, which has been { generally approved and warmly com-' d mended, is calculated to lend color j and dignity to the charges of his op- { ponent which would not have other- d wise attached to them. It is a hu- J milating spectacle to see the governor f of a great commonwealth going from d 'place to place defending himself j against charges, which exist chiefly { in the imagination of a chronic office d seeker, which were evidently trunp- " ed up for - political purposes. If = Governor Ansel really wishes to en hance his own chances for re-election I and do the State a real service, let I him take up the challenge of Mr. I Blease to investigate his record. Let I him eet un the antecedents' of this I man Blease and show to the public what manner of man this is, who is constantly aspiring to the office of Governor. The''records of that committee appointed to investigate the State dispensary and the letter of Lewis Parker will furnish ample material to keep Mr. Blease explaining until the campaign is over. The challenge made by Mr. Blease to his opponent to write to Rev. J. W. Wolling for a statement of his moral character is a most adroit and shrewd subterfuge. Very few people perhaps know that Dr. Wolling has been a missionary in Brazil for the past 20 years," and doubtless never heard of this man until his recent appontment to the Newberry Station. Besides no one knows better than G-O-L-E-Y that Dr. Wolling cannot afford to go into print to discuss the moral character of his members, however good or bad their character might be. We would suggest that Mr. Blease relieve his opponent of the trouble of writing to Dr. Wolling by getting from the Reverend gentleman himself a statement of his ;moral character, and read it from the stump. Yes, Governor, by all means take up the challenge; Mr. JHiease nas naa enough fun "'at your expense and it is .your time now to have a little merriment at his. Instead or defending yourself so much put C-O-L-EY on the defensive and let's all see him wriggle awhile. Mr. Blease has invited this investigation, and of course, he cannot complain.?Sumter Herald. Baby Boy as Theatre Prize. Lexington, Ky., July 27.?At Paris, in Bourbon county, the manager of a moving picture show offered as a prize a baby boy, three months old, together with a baby buggy and sufficient baby clothes to do three months. Manager Jackson says the baby is a white baby, but he will not tell its name or how he came by it. "I will guarantee that the holder of the lucky coupon gets the baby and that there are no strings to the transaction. Every person buying a ticket to the show is given a coupon on which is a number and at the end of the week the number which is to draw the baby will be called out, and the person holding the corresponding number gets the baby," is all he will say. - ? 11 Heir to une Million iioiiars.
