election of 1891, which was hold

and whllo tho World had some Influ

Republican majority on the Congres

was lu either 1896 or 1!U)0, and the
Republican majorit> In Congress was
largor as n result of that elect ?en
then lt was as a rosall (d' IS96 and

"Now. is il fair lo charge up Hie

tho responsibility of leadership if '
could not escape after 1 was boldly
repudiated, according to the World,
in 1904? If tho World wants to he
fair, why doos'nt it publish a map ot
the country showing the party vote
ia 1894, and tims inform tho public
that the party fared hotter in 1896
and in 1900 than tn either the Con

"Thero ls an honest way of fight?

is state thal he had been shot by
Hoyleston.
A plat of the surroundings of the
assassination, prepared by Survoyoi ?
Norris, of Aiken, was introduced.
This plat showed the course of tracks!
claimed to be those o? the assassin,
which led around a long detour on
tue North of Sailey, ami led to a tiny
road (o within Ooo feet of Hoylcs
lon'H house. The tracks are said lo
have been t raced no further, as tho
pursuers were satisfied that they
had boon made by the accused.'
It is probable (hat the trial will
consume several days. More than
IRQ witnesses have been summoned
by both sities, and practically every
body in Sailey is in Aiken honriug

stood well and his murder was a
great shock to the com m un 11 y. Ile

St Valentine's Day is Observed
in M3ny Countries.
Hain! Valentine, For Whom lt Wan
Named, Recame a Martyr_Ho
Was Renten mid Beheaded,
St. Valentine Day bas como and
gone. How many know the origin of
tho observance of it?
The day bears tho name of St. Val
entine, tbe most popular of saints.
It is his day, hut it can scarcely be
said (hal h.. is responsible for the
manner of Ks observance.
St. Valentine was horn about Ibo
year 270, in the reign of tbe [loman
emperor, Marcus Aurelius Claudius.
Ile was a gentle, charitable bishop,
famous for bis deeds of kindness, his
benignity and his powers of poi s ua
sion in converting pagans t?. "ho
Christ lon belief. His fate was it
of many of the old Christian bis; ps
and churchmen. Ile became a mar
tyr, was first beaten With clubs nd
then beheaded. His body now rest*
in tho (burch of SI. Prbxodos in
Home.
After his death, as a recompenso
for his suffering, ho was canonised.
Popo Julius honored him slili fur
ther by erecting a church to his
memory near the Ponto Molo, in
Koine. The saint's name was also
given to tho gato now known as the
Porta del Pop?la, Hun known as
Porta Valentino.
Thia is a brief sketch of his life,
just what connection lhere is between
the saint and thc cupid-coVorcd cards
KO Inseporably associated with the
celebration of his birthday, ii is bard
to discover, ooo theory Is that ii
was au effort ol' tho church, (ben
shagging with tho problem of con
verting all tho Latin world lo Chrls
tanity, to multo Ibis concession, in
order lo provo to the pagans thal the
Christian religion was not harsh and
ugly.
More probably tho observance has
come down through tho centuries
from the days of Hu? early Romans,
when the 10th of February was ob
served with tho feast of the Luper
calia. This ceremony was originally
for purification and atonement, but
by tho ? volution of changing customs
and conditions, the day has come to
be what it now is a time for the
exchange of sentiment, As in the
Knight, in more subtle, modern man
ner, offers to bis lady love Iiis heart,
and "never (banging love." ll is ft

comos ut tho time when the birds

Nature say:

The foto day is observed In many
countries, lt is one of the few holi
days still observed in our busy Am?r
ica. The custom, carried out so long
ago oh the Palatine hill, found its
way Into langland and France, and
was passed down to Americans and to
