Milton Nicholson, of Oconee County,
in the City.
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."

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.

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

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.
