SEPERATE CAMPAIGN - ? FOR 1). S. SENATOR. CONGRESSMEN AND SOLICITORS. ASSESSMENTS ARE FIXED Various Other Regulations Made by the Democratic Executive Committee Which Mot in Columbia Tuesday in Order to Prepare for State Campaign. The Stato Democratic Executive' Committee meeting at Columbia' Tuesday at noon in the library at the TState bouse fixed the assessments for ! the candidates entering the State campaign, and decided upon a separate itinerary for the candidates for the United States senate, congress and solicitor. The itinerary for the Stat? officers was mapped out at a meeting of a sub-committee, held at Columbia several days ago. Tho constitutional provision of tho party that a separate campaign bo held where there is more than one candidate in the race for the United States senate was cited by P. H. Doininlck, member of the executive committee from Newborry county. After some discussion a resolution providing for the senatorial campaign was adopted by the committee and the sub-committee was authorized to prepare tho itinerary. The following assessments for all candidates in the campaign were fixod by the committee: United States senate, $250; congress, $200; governor, $100; railroad commission, $75; Stato officers, $50; solicitor, $50. It is estimated that over $4,100 will be required for the campaign and upon the above assessments about $4,COO will be raised. The first campaign meeting will be held at Sumter noxt Tuesday. John Gary Kvans, tno siaie cnairinan, announced the appointment of Christie I3enet of Columbia as secretary of the executive committee. The senatorial campaign will open In Columbia on Tuesday, June 25, and will close in Allien on August 23. The separate campaign was made necessary because two candidates have already filed their pledges for the United States senate. They are Jasper W. Talbert of Parksville, in Edgefield county, and N. D. Dial of Laurens. Senator Tillman is in the race for re-election, but he will not make the canvass of the State. The candidates for congress in the various districts and the candidates for solicitor of the several circuits will speak on the same day with the candidates for the senate. It was decided by the executive committee not io return the assessments to candidates who withdraw -from the race after filing their pledges. All pledges must be filed by Monday at noon, the day before the State campaign opens. The following Itinerary was decided upon at a meeting of the subcommittee for the candidates for the United States senate, congressmen and solicitors: Columbia?Tuesday, June 25. St. Matthews ?

Recorded for the Benefit of Those Who Will Take the Time to Bead Them. The homo circle may bo?ought to bo?tho most charming and delightful place 011 earth, the center of the purest affections and most desirable associates, as well as the most attractive and exalted beauties to bo found this side of paradise. ? If we look only for crooked trees in tho timber, we will llnd plenty of them; but wo will pass by many straight, beautiful trees and never notice them. So, too, if we look only for blemishes in the character of others, wo will find them; but we may not notice the many good qualities that they may possess. * * * Young man, if you expect to attain success, you must work. Success does not crown the efforts of a hoy who runs away from school and shirks his lessons. Success does not crown the effort of a youth who stands around the street corners smoking cigarettes and expectorating on tho sidewalks. Success does not crown the effort of a man who stands rounds the corners of the street talking about his neighbors and whittling out a financial policy. Success is the legitimate result of labor and application to business. A constant endeavor should bo made to render every home cheerful. In every heart there should reign innocent joy. There is often discontent and restlessness in homes, not for the want of virtue and prayers, but because the home lacks sunshine. Each member has his part In making or marring tho happiness of home, yet we do not think any one can add to or take from its happiness as the mother. Where the mother is kind, patient and cheerful all the inmates of that home are apt to- be contented and happy. It is always best to wait for the evidence before passing judgment. When you hear reports detrimental to young ladies or gentlemen, don't be hasty in forming conclusions. It is better to be charitable when any one is in trouble. To-day it is some one else's boy or girl; to-morrow it it may be yours. Trouble comes to us all, and we should be willing to extend the same charity we should expect from others. Gossip distorts and magnifies occurrences that have no foundation in fact, and injustice is often done innocent parties. * No talents, no circumstances, no opportunities, will make a twolegged creature a man, without energy. The bright boys, the geniuses, who take first prizes at school, very often fali to the rear when they are exposed to the long and weary competition of real life. They lack endurance, or they fail in that energy of purpose which no native "smartness" will replace. It stands to reason that what may bo very brilliant and expert in a boy is far different when measured by the standard of manhood. He who is content with the trivial triumphs of school days will have a poor chance in the rough and tumble of life, while energy and invincible determination will carry through the worst of dunces on to success. * Children should bo trained to behave at homo as you would have them behave abroad. It is the home lifo which they act out when away. In the actions of children strangers can read a history of home life. Something is wrong in those homes where the little courtesies of speech are ignored in the everyday home life. Scolding is never allowed; reproof and criticism from parents must have their time and place, but should never Intrude so far upon the I social life of the family as to render! the home uncomfortable; a serious word in private will generally cure a fault moro easily than many public criticisms. So teach the children to bo high-minded, cheerful and loving, and, above all things, to cultivate a sweet disposition. How soon the children leave us. It soens but a step between child hood and manhood. IIow soon they take this step and how often the eternal step from life to death. We little realize what tho future of our little ones may be. Heaven kindly hides the hook of fate. One word to' day Idly spoken, may on tho morrow, stand like clouds of fire, staring us in the face. One kind act, which might have gladdened the little heart, is left undone. To-morrow it may come back to our memory and causes may heartaches. If wo knew that the little ones who are to-day an noying us in their childish fashion would to-morrow lay still in death > how different would be our actionj i- toward them. Let us bo more pa ;t ttent, we know not what to-morrow n has in store for us. r? Clark's boom has been given th< o lock jaw by tho news from Texas 11 Minnesota, North Carolina and Nov J Jersey. WOFFORD COLLEGE ? WHAT THE INSTITUTION ACCOMPLISHED IN TEN YEARS MADE GREAT PROGRESS ? KanktMl Now by tbo United States Educational Department as the Leading College in South Carolina, Being l*ut in a Class Above All Other Colleges in the State. f In the past ten years Wofford College lias made rapid strides In ali departments of educational work, and Is now ranked by the United States Educational Department as the leading college in South Carolina, Woffoid is put in a class by herself, 110 other college in the State requiring as high a grade of her graduates. This is certainly gratifying to the host of friends of the college and should attract many young men to her who want to acquire a thorough education. At the late commencement of Wofford President Snyder read a concise report of the work of tho college for the past ten years, which showed the wonderful strides the institution has made during that time. The stand ard has been materlaly raised, the number of professors In the ccMlege has been doubled two additional instructors has been added to the Fitting School and the number of students in the Fitting School and college has increased from 25 0 to 44 7 nearly double, llero is the report, which will be of interest: Ten Yenrs of Progress. "In conclusion I wish to say that wo are making progress at Wofford, though it seems slow to some of us who realize keenly what we might do if wo had the means. But a little summary of what has been done in the past ten years will show considerable progress, enough for encouragement and new efforts. Here it is: Wofford College, 1002-1012.

A Washington dispatch says Sirius, tho dog star that shines so perpetually and altitudiously in the nocturnal heavens, never saw a cat-fight on this sphere of mundacity ever more to his liking than that being pulled off between our two most unctuous and bumptious rivals for tho Republican nomination for the presidency. For a while that seemed tedious to onlookers. Mr. Taft proclaimed iMr. Roosevelt a wanton in expletives and an ultimist in vituperatives, only himself later to enter a ring all of his own with as choice a lot of ugly words and contemptuous epithets as ever befouled the literature of a great politcal campaign. For as long as he openly disdained the strong arm methods of tho African-traveled Tumbo and his course methods only to follow up the same by a pre-arranged set of tactics in Washington state and Ohio, which his opponent with all his temerity never has approached. All these to be rivalled by the operation of his chattels, the national committee, now assembled in Chicago, under the name of fair play, honor bound to do the right thing. Tho show will open in dead earnest on Tuesday, when tho National Convention assembles. Then wo will soon know who is the best man, Ted dy or Big Bill. ? ? KILLED BY SNAKEBITE. ? Negro Succumbs to Attack by Battlesnake in Six Hours. A negro boy, eight years of age, while out picking berries on Saturday near Manning was bitten by a rattlesnake and died about six hours laser. The boy's grandmother, who wat with him, saw the snake after it struck the boy, but was unable to kill it. She described it as being very large. Sunday morning her nusband went to the locality, where the boy was bit. Ho found an unusuallylarge rattlesnake there and succeeded in killing it with a shot gun. Only one fang of the snake penetrated the skin where it struck the boy's leg and the wound was followed by little swelling of the limb. Villages May Be Jx>st. A cannery tender from Uryak on the Shelikof strait shore of Kadiak Island, brought word to Seward, Alaska, this week that the people there are safe, but it is thought that seven fishing villages, with a total population of 200, on the Alaskan peninsula in the immediate vicinity of Katmai volcano, wero destroyed by the eruption of last Thursday. Shot at I)eei\ Hit Negro. While Robert Smith, a negro, was holding a deer Wednesday so Henry Huff, a hunter, could shoot at it, the animal dodged, but Smith did not. Smith is in the hospital with a load of buckshot in his shoulder and Huff is in jail, as this is not the proper season for deer hunting in Jefferson parish, La. 5. Professor of Psychology, Philosophy and Education. 6. A movement inaugurated to raise money to build another dormitory, and at least another $100,000 to the endowment, and to pay off all indebtedness. All of this represents a big job for the next ten years. But it is worth tlie doing, and the importance of it is so immediato and vital as to call for the cordial co-operation of all who feel the need of a really great college in South Carolina informed with high Christian idoals of service, I believe that Wofford has the opportunity of influencing the educational life of this State that it cannot avoid and the appeal to meet it should come to us all in the nature of a com pelllng duty.
