The People's Journa FICKENS S. C ,,.M itmat.e Ent,femi>y... I ahlays hated IIyla White. N because of her beauty; on the contrair 1 adore beauty, and i forgave her mat things for the sake of her pretty fae There was much to forgive; she hr done mle evi! and not good, from ti time, when we were children, that sl had come into my life. Ilyla was the only child of III mother's only brother, anl oflicer In lta Navy, lost at seal when IIyla was littl uIore than a baby. IIis widow mai ried again aftelr a1 barely decent intea val, and the stc"p-father took a violei1 aver8ion to the little girl. So Ilyl came to live wtl us, the only relation who were willing to have hier. Never were o wo (uains more un like than she and 1. lit person Ilyla closely resembled my leautiultl mother I was like uty tatlier's a ibnily. I tongh up with boys frotn 1ny babyhood, was a romp and a tom-Ioy at ten yeara of age; 1iyla, at eight was, so my moth er said, a perfect little luly. "If only Anne wert inaa re like Ilyla," she stgned oi+r and over, after m3 various escalpales, netver Ireauitng holl often my mtisclhiel was suggested b3 her model, who wie the v'eriest littlc coward that ever Ibreathed. Wher Ilyla would ha'e Is s{he was apt t seek some one a-lo to wet their feet it pursuit of it. My father atways stoad my friend << Let tle child alone," htle used to say "t Let her he herset,'' atoa once, whet he found mt sobiiug alone in a cor. nier, after an utiusually severe lect.ura upon my own iha rtcomintt!g-, anmd Ilyla' perfections, he kiSel me Itnd comfort ed ie with: " 1 like my little dlau4-'hter as she is Be brave atal tue, dear, antid the pol ish will coile tater; You will need i you know; even a i ditnoni is the het ter for cutting and set ting." After that I t ied hard to he gentleI and more ladylike, and I think I sue ceeded fairly well, hut I did not wan to be like Ilyla. I think shet mlust. have taken afte her mother in charactler, although tm' mother, who detested her sister-ini-lav as much as she lwed her niece, wouh never atit i. llyla never took straight way to anything if shte coula make for herself a crooked path. " Sneak aid tell-tale," tmy brother called her, :wl they scolded me 1o being her catspa!w; although even the never guessed how often my frock were torn climbing for fruit for Ilyl1 nor how many times I was punishe for mislleedis which Ilyla wouhl not at knowledge, andal 1 was too proud t charge her with. "' Ann t nitever tells t ales, 51aid thi boys, and( truly I never didl, whiatev< liy silenice miight cost. tme. At school it was thie same storty. carriedl Iyla thirough a many routg places, shichting her again and agait I refused t.0 write her exercises or I do her exampiles, but I knew that all copiedl nine, as sooni as miy back wi turned, and torc than11 otnce I wi obliged to rewrmite a theme because fl 01ne 1 hall prietiial was missitng. tlpt such occatslions II yIa invariably he credlit marks for hers. There wats one( personi upoin who ilyla's winnuing wvays had no effee Aunt Thornton, my fatther's wittoiw sister, whose wealth am1it stirengthi chiuacter malde her ai power int I family, had no love for I1yla. 1 fou1 her a veritable fairy godmother, ii as a child 1 made tmany deilight Visits to her beautiful cit.y hotme, Hlyla acComnpaniedl me only onlce. 'Ti Aunt, Thorniton detteeted lher ini a pt theft, which she alttemted (to 11111 falsehood, and1( promipt.ly took home. " I cani niot undliertake thle respo bility of a child whto does utot speak truth,"' sIte said to liy miothier, atnd spite of mammaiiii's entratiesf 1, andt imiaginle, scarcely conciealed imdig tion at lier harshness, she1 positijy refused to allow ilyha to visit I again. " Anne has all thie I )ouiglas htor and honesty," Auint Th'lorntoni uused say. The dear' sool never (dreamti how much thie object- lesson oft 111r 0' integrity strengthened nmme. It was Dot unitil IIyla and I wI both women grown, thatt togethi once more, we Visited Aunt lThornt< Even thien, I fancy my aunt woi have p)referred thant I shonl go alot but nmy mother asked for and obtain an invitationa for her darling. " Surely you are not going to member a childish fault, throughout time," she pleaded. Aunt Th'Iorntot had no children, I she was dhevoted to her step-son, whom she hadl been a mother since was fiye years 0old. Ned Thornt.on was moy hero; I e not remiemb)er when I dlid niot love Ii bett,er than any of my brothers, to as I was of them, andt (lie little girl a the big boy were chums always. I was visiting his mother whien went to Europe, to studly mi Germar and (ravel afterwards. Th'le parti nearly broke tmy heart, and I wept bi terly when I bade hitm good-bhye. ~I I'l write to you all1,thie time, a we'll be married when I come bach he whn~pered, as lie kissed me in fia well. Later 1 understood that lie ~ joking, but the promise comforted l at the time. Since theni we hasd k up a more or less regular correspot ence, which had been among the~ j( of my life, but never a word of ic had there been in his letters. Now I was to see himt again taf six years. Aunt Thornton bad spent more ti one summner with Ned in Europe, once, at least, had offered to take -with her. Papa would have let me but mamma objected, and so I sta at home. F?or the first time I dreaded a v to Aunt Thornton. I felt ashamed myself for the feeling, neverthelesi envied Hyla; was jealous of her bea1 and her charm. Would Nod,' lIke strangers, prefer her to me? was fascinating when she chose, thal e she woul choose now, I was wel . aware. She never took the trouble tc try to deceive 111. . " Ned Thornton is just the sort of .mant whom I think would like to mar ry," she told me frankly, " and he is not uy cousin, even though you claim him as yours." '1'hus it Caie to pass that I had to look on and see her play her garne. She did it so cleverly that she hurt me. Aunt Thornton blocked it now and A then, but Ilyla was so adroit that even Y, she could do little to hiuider. Most y masterly of all was the manner in D- which she contrived to keep Ned and d mo apart. I wandered if he noticed tC that; it seemed to mhe that he nteed not C have submitted unless lie wished and mny heart was very sore because lie did. Y As for m1e, I was at my worst, stiff C and self-conscious; Ilyli could always e make me show to (hsadvantage; never had she exercised that power as now. Wretched and miserable, I tried to t make up my mnnd to the inevitable t worst, to act as if I d not care, and Occupy myself with the admtirers who courted my father's daughter, but it was hard, and I knew that 1 betrayed myself sometimes, so 1 retreated farth er and farther into my shell, which was exactly what Ilyla wished. The end came one day, unexpected ly. I sat in nll alcove in the library, be hind a heavy curtaiii, trying to read, when I heard Iiyla and Ned enter the room. They were talking, but I saw no reason why 1 shoulcl take my presence known. " So you have noticed how quiet and unsociable Anne is," Ilyla sa i I, in her sweetest and most regretful tones. I Is it possible you don't know why? It is quite an open cet. The poor child is breaking her hiearl over Jick Duncombe."' " That, fellow!" exclaimed Ned. Exactly. Thete is no accimting for tastes, and he and Anne have been playmates from babyhood. Anl, really, Jaek isn't half bad, bestcles that he has a rich uncle in Australin who is sure to lea' hin a fortune som1e ilay. I don't think Anne cares for the money, but she is obstinate enough to be spurred by opposition; of conurse Uncle Douglas and Auntie won't hiar of it. 111t Anne will be of age next. year, and then she can, a11141 will do as she pleases." Up to this point I had remained silent, too amazel to speak, now I sprang out and eonfronted her. " lyla White, you know there is not one word of truth in all that rigamarole.'' 1 For one moment lyla was stag gered; then she smiled sweetly. " Am 1 really mistaken? How glad 1r dear Auntie will be!'' V Ier audacity fairly took my breath away; I *^ave her at look, and turned tc, ' Ned, hiignant. " " And I think you believed her!" I said.

Iditar llaleshurg Advocate and Mlember lIotse of R:epre, sentalives for Lo.sington( Cottily. Appreciating the importance of th< otlico of Attorney General, and feeling th necessity of the proper man foi that posi.tou, it is wittl gratitcatior that Ne note the positive announce mont, of Assistant Attorney General U N. Gunter, J r.. of Spartanburg County as a candidate for that position. We have known J. X. Gunter, Jr. from his boyhood, and we always knev him as a bright, industrious and stu dious lad, never forsaking whateve duties that may have been at hand lie showed a pet sistence and detertn nation of will of which few young me can boast. Ils character as a boy wa solid, influential and moral. Sine manhood these traits have romsine the same in kind, but each has beo polished, moulded and beautified b his conetant contact with books, me and experience. He has never boe enticed from his active wor-k into th Holds of pleasure and idleness, but h, ability, application and detorm!natio U. N GUNTi, .in. (Iccuiles a high pliaco today in p)olith for his purity of motives, sincerit,y Purpose5 and indohpornoe of act,ion. Mr. Gunter, the son of aL Confederal veteran, was born andl reared ia tl town of Batcsbuarg, in Le3xingt( County, antd hats r p)ont his liftt co ope ating with his fello.v countrymlen laboring for the welfare of his naLil State. After completing his hig school courso under such protnino men, among others, as M. [C. Polk, 10g nOW a succassfuli attorney of l' igefeli i and D)r. A. J1. S. Thomas, the finishe editor of the i3aptist Courier, hie onto od the South CaLrolina College an studied law under that powerful foui der of law, Dr. J1oseph D)anlei i'opu guaduating with highest honors. After being admitted to the bar hi began the p)ractice of his professio and soon his ability as a lawyeor wi recognized by those who came in legi contact with him, for soon Attorno General Barber appointed him to th p)osition of Assistant Attorney Genera which position he held to the end< the term. When Hon. G. Duncan lie linger came into oflice be realized the Mr. (Gunter was the right man in th right plaee, and he retained him in hi same position, to which he was reaj pointedl by General fBeilingor, makin three times that his honesty, abilit and experience as a lawyer and his ir tegrit,y as acitizen has been recogniz . by the headst of the legal departmen As Attorney General Mr. Gunter ha made a record in keoping wit,h ai other positions he has ever held. Sine, acting in that capacity Mr. (Gunter ha, argued on behalf of the State more thai half a hundred eases before the Su preme Court, many of them Involving the most intricate and puzzling ques lions of law, and he has be~en succss ful In eighty per cent, of the cases The records show that tiuring this period he has appearetd before the high estn trbunal tof the State in about one hundred casts, motions, etc, wit,h a record surpassed bly no other prac. titioner in the State. The most important duty imposed upon the oflico of A ttorney General is that of advising public ofliciala. Every written Opinion gi,en by Mr. Gunter has been published in the annual re ports of to At,torney ,General for the information, Inspection and criticism of the public. Some of these opinions have involved questions of vital inter est to the public, and in no instance has a single opinion rendered by Mr. Gunter been reversed by the Courts, but sustained absolutely. Among those now recalled was the famous school chart oiion, whereby in an opinion to the State Superintendcent of ECduca tion Mr. Gunter advised that the pay certificates issued for~ soho6i charts Were ille;al. thaereb ain to e tee school fund nearly one hundred thous and dollars. Another was an opinion to the effect that schools operated un der the general free school law could not charge incidental fees of students, but must operate free in fact as well as nane. This, too, was sustained by the Supreme Court. Likewise others in volving quest,ions of taxation, salaries F of ollicers, etc., have been invariably F sustained when the question involved has been tested. I Probably no lawyer in the State is more familiar with duties and functions of the various departments of State and their relationship to each other. This has been acquired by study, ob servation and experienco, and is very essential to the ollice of the legal a.1 visor of the State. This accounts ini a great ieasure for the complete con tidonce bestowed upon Mr. Gunter by the various State ollicers and the ju I ciary. There is an"ther unanswerable rea son why tho present Assistant A' torney General should be entrusta d with the of1ice of Attorney General. By direction of the General Assembly, and in pursuance o' the terms of the platforms of the State and national democracy, the Attorney Gneral has instituted suits against the continua tion of wealth to inonopollz ; the neces sities of life to a(luceze the life blood of the people. Whatever may be the immediate result ofisthese suits, there is no question that the efforts already made have done a great deal to etag ger corporate greed and will result in good by strengthening the laws and encouraging the people and the law makc rs to further elforts with a hope for final triumph. Mr. Gunter has been active in the pe,ople's behalf, and as he 18 essentially a people's man, be ing unfettered by corporate prejudice, always arrayed on the side of the pub lic, with no obligations to corporate combinations for past favor-, he is well calculated to carry on t ac light to re strain corinrato greed and insolence when in violation of law. Believing that there is no r:-ason why the present Assistant Attorney General should not be promoted, he is respectfully commended to the Drmo cratic voters of South Carolina its a candid ate for Attorney General.
