Smith, United States senator elect. The many many friends of Mr, Galloway were pleased to hear of his good fortune, although it was with regret that they appreciated the fact that his new work would take him away from Columbia for a large portion of the year. Mr. Galloway has for several years been connected with The State, first as Associated Press operator and later as telegraph editor and then as news editor. Mr. Galloway has worked his way to a position of responsibility in the newspaper world anrt hvr anH faithfnlnpcs every trust as well as by a through appreciation of the exaction of newspaper resposibilities.har proved himself worthy of the confidence committed to him by Senator Smith. Mr. Galloway proved his fitness and his experience for the position by reason of the fact that he is not only a capable newspaper man but also a stenographer and in addition a finished telegraph operator, one of the most skilful in the Associated Press service. Furthermore dint of enterprise and indomitable will he has obtained a legal education and a certificate to practice law, while at the same time carrying on the responsible work entrusted to him in the State office. The following sketch of the new secretary was prepared for the Stkte by a friend: "Charles Mills Galloway was born near Moore,s Creek battleground. Pender county, N. C. August, 15, 1875, being the son of Charles Mills Galloway, Sr, a native of Southport. Brunswick county, N. C. His mother was Miss Eleanor Register of Pender county who died in Greenville, S. C. on December 26. last. When 6 years of age his parents moved to Wilmington, N. C., where a, _ ? ? - ? ne resided until 1891; He attended pudlic schools of that city'and early in life took up the study of telegraphy becoming an expert at the age of 14 years. H:s first employment as a telegraph operator was by the Postal Telegraph Company at Elizabethtown, N. C. in 1889. "In 1890 he was employed by Mr. J. R. Kinly. then general manager ?f the Atlantic Coast Line, as stationery clerk of the transporation department C. M. C1ALLOWAV. which position he resigned March 1, 1891, to accept employment with the Western Union Telegraph company 1 at Sumter, S. C. In June, 1891, he resigned this position to accept a similar one at Ocean View N. C. Here he remained during the summer 1 season, thence going to Petersburg, 1 Va. where he worked as telegraph operator for the Atlantic Coast Line < for several months, when he was pro- , moted to the Wilmington office, j "In July 1893. he resigned this position, to accept employment by | the Western Union Telegraph company at Charlotte, N. C. which he held until Sept. ber; 25, 1895, at , which time he was promoted to a j more lucrative position by this com- i pany in its Charleston office. Here he handed the proceeding of the i conititutional convention in 1895 for the Charleston News and Crourier. "When the convention adjourned Mr. Galloway secured a position with the Associated Press in its Col. umbia office. This he filled until September 10, 1904, when he re 1 ceived the appointment as news editor of The State, which position 1 He was occupying when appointed private secretary. I "Mr. Galloway married Mrs. Lyda McNulty Breeland, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. McNulty of Columbia on October 21, 1903. "Having an early ambition to be- A come a lawyer, Mr. Galloway entered the university law school class of 1899, but his heavy duties forced him to give up his studies. In 1905, however, Mr. Galloway reentered the university law school and graduated with the degree of LL. B., in the class of 1907, at the same time keeping up his work as 1 news editor of The State." t!

No matter how brave the bravest leaflet nor how gay the flowerets fair, they felt the blight of his kiss and caught the chill of his frozen breath, while iceland fairies danced over the ripling rills and stilled their restlessness with an ice-cold shroud that gem studded, gleamingly glittered in the warmth of a winters sun and became more coldly cold, revealing "Rockford on the Creek" with ice-incrusted dells and grottoes frost adorned in tatalizing contrast to the sunlit bowers that have for days past lured us into dreaming of the spring-time But winter, natures season of rest has charms peculiarly its own. The cozy chair in the "ingle n? ok" the glowing coals, gleaming red in the fitful firelight into which we gaze catching the inspiration of their varying change, as when the flames leap up the heart leaps with them singing aloud with joy and dying down into a dull red glow, a quietude steals over ones spirit imbueing with a sense of calm that is blissful in its soothing until ^ almost unaware the spark goes out f into ashes, cold, white ashes and ~ thus burns, glows and dies into the ashes of nothingness the thoughts that with the coals have gone out leaving the genial glow of their expended selves as recompense for c having been; so may not our lives, c each in its own way, either glowing r blaze or dull red glow burn down to the memory of having been a sacrificial pyre. dead, white ashes, from ^ which the spark of immortality has c leaped forth in a glorious blaze. t Dr. 1'.

Solicitor 111 .'immerman, Stenographer Frank " Anderson and the other officials of w he court were at their posts prompt- I" y, and it was not long before the ll' ourt "got down to business. w The newly elected clerk of the :ourt, Hon. Frank W. Shealy, had he docket and everything in readness, and appeared as a veteran at he business. During the last few u lays Mr. Shealy has had the inteior of the court house neatly clean- |,, ;d up and the jurors' chairs cushionid, so that theii seats might be corn4 ,!l ortable and easy. Mr. Shealy's nanncr of discharging the duties i* ji cierK nas oeen tne suDject ot 1 nuch favorable comment. ^ tli Judge Dantzler's charge to the jrand jury was one of the strongest v. :ver delivered here. He first defin- v:d the obligations of grand jurors ind laid great stress upon their oaths d< )f office. Judge Dantzler said that ol 'jurors are presumed to represent he good citizenship of the county t., tnd good citizenship does not con- *1 iist merely in the observance of the u aw, from a sense of fear of the con;equences of its violation, but be- ut tause it is right so to do." He stated 11 hat it was the duty of grand jurors ^ o see to it that the law is obeyed in r< heir respective sections and said: hi "Jurors, as agents of the people, iave very solemn obligations to dis:harge. If those obligations are ig- < ( tored, the people suffer and the s' :>eace of society is endangered." ! le :mphasized the fact that jurors are he strong pillars upon which society w '<aefe onrl oif nnr?*l?i ? i.?' ? *- ' V.Jkj, anu I [Itauy UI^CU IIIC 5U1CI nforcement of all laws.

The outcome of this ase will be watched with general in- u ere~t by the people all over the '4l jtate, on account of the many cases esting against him and on account o| >f the wide prominence of his family. Judge Dantzler made it plain this m norning that he will expedite the tusinessof the court as much as pos- ;?i ible, and admonished the witnesses nd jurors to be in their places pro- sl nptly when their names are called.

The Dutch women of the Transvaal ire tall and splendidly developed, and there are the two distinct types, the purely Dutch with golden brown bair, Stray or hazel eyes and creamy skin and (lie brunette of French dewent with dark eyes and hair and rich (lark coloring. But both types are pii a larger scale than their European Antecedents. The sun of South Africa is a great vltallzer, and the children of that land of vast spaces liave more room to grow and develop iu, and they lead from their infancy iuch ar out of doors life that they are bound to be an improvement physically on their sisters of the northern hemisphere. Dutch women of South Africa always accompanied their husbands in their large hooded, slow moving wag)iis. Their nomadic existence tended to carelessness of habits and dress, but it developed in them an infinite capacity for persevering effort, a strength of character, a stubbornness, as well as great vitality, all of which I excellent qualities go to the making I, [it a sti-nnir tuition The present Reiteration can be divided into two distinct classes, the Inhabitants of the veld and those of the towns anil villages, and while the fundamental characteristics are the same- grit, tenacity, level-hcadediicks, independence-rstill, there is a wide difference between the Boer woman of the country and the educated Dutch woman of the towns The former on reaching the age of Jo are large, fat and heavy.
