A CHANCE TO 00 TO ANNAPOLIS.
a*
In Fact there are Two Chances, as
and
Two Vacancies are to be Filled.
The following notice, published by
request of Senator Tillman, will
doubtless be read with interest by
many ambitious young men and their
parents in South Carolina;
A competitive examination for two
midshipmen at Annapolis.
I hereby give notice that an exami
nation will be held in the State
House at Columbia, beginning ft
9,30 o'clock, Friday April 10, H06,
under the direction of State Super
intendent of Education 0. B. Martin
and two assistants. The examina
tion will be written, and be by num
bers, and the physical examination
will be conducted by Dr J. W. Bab
cock, with the assistance of two phy
sician* whom he will select The
physical examination will be held
first and no boy who fails in this,
can take the mental examination.
Candidates in order to be admitted to
the Academy must be well versed in
reading, writing, spelling, punctua
tion and capitals, grammar, geogra
phy, United States history, world’s
history, arithmetic, alegbra
geometry.
The phyeicial requirements are: No
candidate will be admitted who is un
der 16 years of age or over 20, who is
deformed or afflicted with any disease
He shall not be less than five feet two
inches, between the ages of 16 and 18
and not less than five feet four inches
between the ages of 18 and 20.
At this examination two princi
pals will be named to fill the vacan
cies now existing, and three alternates
for each vacancy. The alternates are
named so that in the event of ihe
principal failing mentally or physi
cally the better qualified alternate
may succeed to the vacancy.
Inasmuch as some of the alternates
whom I have appointed heretofore
have failed to put themselves to the
necessary expense of appearing for
examination, 1 give notice that in this
case no boy will be permitted to stand
the examination who does not pledge
himselt to comply with this require
ment, should he be given the place of
alternate.
After the selection of principals
and alternates oy this examination
those selected will have to report the
second Tuesday in April, %jt a place
hereafter designated for examination,
physically and mentally by the repre-
- leutatives of the civil service com
missions. In case of failure then an
other opportunity will be offered at
Annapolis on the third Tuesday in
June.
This examination is only open to
South Carolina boys who are bona fide
permanent residents of the State and

edy the mistake. If the world should
want as much cotton this year as last
a great many mills will b$ forced to
shut down for want of cotton. The
supply of cotton will be a about one
million or more bales short of demand
before new cotton comes in. But we
must look out for the new crop as
well as the last crop. We must or
ganise and stand as a unit. The man
that lives in the south and expects
the Southern Cotton Association to
keep the price of cotton up without
his help, is an enemy to himself and
his family. By his negbct in joining
in and helping to make the fight for
the protection of his home and coun
try, he need not be surprised to see
cotton selling next fall at 5 or 6 cts.
It takes all of ns to make our country
and it is just wbat we make it.
The Southern Cotton Association
demands the co-operative influence
of every southern naan in order to ac
complish it’s purpose. Now let those
that have not already ]oined in this
work, have their names enrolled and
pay in the dues to help carry on this
work, it will Te too late to seek pro

companies that n quire no premiums

Governor Heyward F.nds Him Mag
netic.
Coyernor Heyward returned to
Columbia Saturday from Charlotte
where he delivered an address Friday
night before the Greater Charlotte
club, and where he met and was de
lighted with Judge Alton B. Parker,
who also addressed the club.
Governor Heyward was brought in
to intimate contact with JudgeParker
in the club rooms at Charlotte, where
the judge and the governor also met
a number of entertaining Charlotte
men. Judge Parker addressed the
members of the club informally, but
his remarks were not published.
“Ihe Northern papers have not
done justice to Judge Parker in the
matter of his personal attributes,”
said Governor Heyward Saturday.
“There is nothing cold natured about
the man that 1 could see. On the
contrary he is very magnetic and
those who come in contact with him
appeared to like him very much. He
is the personification of Democratic
simplicity, though a polished and cul
tured gentleman withal.”
The speech the judge delivered in
Charlotte, in which he attacked
Boomvelt and Jerome and pointed to
Mr Wallace entered a printing
office wheu he was only 12 years of
age* and had followed that trade all
his life. He workid in several towns
in North Carolina at the case, finally
settling in Charlotte, where he re
mained for 20 years. While there he
held the position of foreman on the
old Observer and later held the same
position on the Evening News. He
went from Charlotte to Wilmington
to accept the position of foreman on
The Messenger, and went to Colum
bia in the early part of 1891 to take
a position in the office of The State,
which was then being started. He
began work on The State with the
first issue of the paper, Feb. 18,1891,
and has been with the establishment
ever since that time. In the summer
of 1891 he was made foreman of the
composing room, succeeding Mr Sel
by, who was the first foreman of the
paper. Holding this position lor
some time, he resigned and took a
“case” in the office, but when the job
printing office was started, in 1892,
he was made foreman and placed in
charge ot the Job department. The
growth of the business in recent
years has necessitated the taking of
some of the work off of him but he
remained until his death the foreman
of the job office composing room.
Mr Wallace was a man of strong
character, of fine bearing and pleas
ant manners, which indicated his
kindly heart and sincere interest in
his fellow men. By his death the
laboring men of Columbia

leader but a true friend.

You remind me of a young doctor
who hung oat his shingle, and the
first call he had was an old man who
came in great haste and said, come
qaick doctor, my wife is awfully ill.
The doctor put on his gold spectacles
and looked in the glass to see that
his hair was parted in the middle
and hastened away to make his first
professional call. He entered the
sick room with all the dignity be
could ronster up and began the ex
amination of his patient

When you fellows go out on the
campaign the voice of the people is

of the people shall be my guiding
