REFORM FROM THE SOURCE. it would pay the state and coun ties bettor and be more effective in results to the taxpayers, if the leg islators, Instead of making trips to Clemson College or to other places wher9 their visits have heretofore proven of little good, would take that time in reflccting upon (he al ready tax ridden people they repre sent and got down to good, earnest planning with the United purpose of working the reforms they talked so much about on the stump. Something to save expense should have their support above any per sonal pleasure that might be de rived from legislative visits which are farces. AS TO PENSION APPLICATIONS.

GOVERNOR HEY WARD. We beg to extend to the new Goveruor of South Carolina our congratulatious with every assur ance that the people cf Pickens county will givehithat loyal sup port and lend to him that encour agemenit wilhout wvhich. fr:m ei ery mecticu of the state, no Gav. ernor need b.,pe for a successful administratio'n as Chief Executive of his co.mmonwealth. Governor IHeyward has a diffi cult and a delicate duty to meet. e is equal to the occasion and we bespeak for him this pro-mis: He v-ill be Governor of all the people of S->uth Carolnin. A mnan of abil ity and integrity and unpledged in the ways of politics, be repre uerts the embodiment of those vir tues and excellent attain'nents which eminently fit him for the high office of Governor and quali fy him for the responsibilities im posed in that he shall see that the laws of this state are faithfully ex. ecuted. His administration will doubt less be full of incident and interest to all the people, and South Caro lina has honored 'him in placing him at the head of her aff'airs at such a time as this. He will do credit to South Carolina and measure up among the highest and best of statesmen and men who have helped to make this state the best in the Union. R10H T, T HE RULE. Right is the universal guide. It obtains as a rule in politics as well as in business. It is all one ought or can afford to ask, and as little &s one should seek to give. No personal considerations and fl( thought of temporary expediency should be allowed to intervene between plain duty and the doing thereof. Subterfuge may avail for the present, but the manly, open honest execultion of convictions sustained through diligent effort t< teach the truth, W'ill prove the win bing program in any Career. If you do not reach your objec tive--if you are disappointed --d mot Count any honest and honor able endeavor a failure when the mneans employed and the motive ipispiring in any undertaking mesas Ure up to a just and reasonable ~ooception of your duty in the premises.. If a wrong has been done and you can correot it, in" form yourself, if the responsibility tests upon yo~ and talte no thought of the o seguences save fn-so.far as you ad oOn~ious (of anur dntyi public servants-all people would mako right their guide, many things that n1oW see11 vague Wvould clear up under a vigorous adjust ment of public and privato atiirs. I The Merchant Looks Out For You. Look Out For Him. Thoro is not a merchant in Pick ens who soeks to profit by the oi forced needs of his customers, 'Th,ey areall here for legitimato businos8 and buy and sell only such goods aIs the people of this section need, and are prepared to offer thnse goods to buyers at conipetitive rates with merchants anywhere. '1'link of your home merchants when you must buy and have mon ey to pay for the voods, and when you need credit, the home mer, chant is the one must disposed to extend it. Busin.ss is husiness v orywhere; the merchant ought. not to be expected to vary from the rule. Go to himl, and pay up the best you can, contmlue yout' trade With himl and keep in his good graces by fair deal:ings. T.AN PAVING WIT1i PENAI.TY.

GEORGE W. WILLI.AtS. George WV. WilliamsQ, (one of 1 the most interesting of South Caro lina's older men, died at his home in Charleston city onl the 6th inst., at the advanced age of eighty: three years. His life was one con tinuous example of industry and frugality t,o which all young men might look for a true guide to liv ing and honoro b)ly laying the foun - dat ion of their fortunes. The examples of such men are worth much t> our people, for starting und(er circumstances whieh fall to most young men in the South, ho showed that sagacity In busi ness which is best represen ted by3 continiuedl effort and judicious saving which is wvithin the scope of the possibuilities of every young man of energy. In his "letters to young men'' Mr. Williams uinder'took to set forth his idenas as to what consti tutes a young maln's duty as well as to point out his privileges. A record of his life would mako good reading. WILI,1A MSTON FEMA LE COLLEGE. It is announced in some of the newspapers that the trustbes of Williamston Female College, now located at'Williamston, S. C., have decided to move that school to Greenwood, S. C. Barring the botter railroad facil ities offered by Greenwood we do not see what advantage is to be gained by moving this institution to Greenwood. We (understand that Dr. Lan der is to remain in charge. He has made a success of this school, and there are women all over South Carolina and in fact perhaps pretty well all over the South, graduates of this institution, who foolt upon Willhameton as their Alma Mater and who, in their phearts protest against this move. The fact that Dr. Lander has been at its head-a man of posi tive methods and a successful tu tor and disoiplinarian-coupled with the fact that Williameton's health giving looation, aided by if$ excellent water, has no doubt in. AgQSd ina parants to deQldo nn.A on Williameton as the place to send their daughters to receive the benefits of higher education, kniowing that their comfort anci Ilcalth would be well provided for. Gioonwood enjoys few advanta res over this littlo quiet station )>n the Groenville & Columbia rllilroad, but whcrev 'er Dr. Landor uo's to 1)rosocutc his noble work :f educating the young women un lor the guide [of true faith, the )et wishos of all good people will Ollow with hol)OS for the highest 1u(1 best prosperity for the institu, ion in its ne'v field. We congrat late Greenwood. HARD TO MAKE IT HOMELIKE Far be it fromt me to make light of any oie's sorrow. but when a wo m11a still swathied inl widow's weeds sees lit to betake herself and her garietcl s of imtonrlling to a friv olotls niia1tinee slie--wcll, respect for her grief need not keep mne from repcnhting what I heard her say. I (ouhlri't help hearing her, for she sat 1hcside tile, and after the first act she talked across nie to a woman on ily other llnd. "1 was afraid I wouldn't get hero at al!," she said, "and 1'mt jlust tired oult. I was out at tile cemetery all 1101rill!lg." Are you j)u1t tin 1up a monu nlcnt i iskc l tile woimal a addressed. 'llhl. I had that (iloe long ago," anslwei red the widow. "I was just Dot toiy lookig after the plants :ad the ivyv. 1ltm having 1 an ir'on nit fixcd ip, and11c I w1-ait it to be :rten all wi liter. It's so hard" iii! here 'he siined-"it's so hard 0 1mak" a cemetery look homielike, o know."--Washington Post. Used It For a Pass. President. Ingollls of the Big Four 'ad writes ana execrable hand, and farmelcr living near Springfield, 0., s glad of it. One day 31lr. Ingalls hats ridimg over a division of the oid and Caine within smellilig dis ane of a particularly eml)hiatic iog lea owned by the farmer. Next ay lie wrote an autograph lit ter to t lhe agriculturist, complaining of C lie hog pen. The farmer could not cad a word of it and showed the tissive to a Big Four agent. The itter could not make anything out f it either, b,"t said it looked like he passes sometimes issued by rresident Ingalls. This was a sug estion to the farmer, who declares hat he made several trips on the oad, using the illegible scrawl as a ass, before conductors discovered hat it was a protest instead. Expensive Weddingc. A royal wedding is a very expen ive affair not only for those who ~ive it, but for each guest. The0 >resents necessarily cost the guests great deal, for only the richest nd rarest gifts can be offered to oyalty. Besides a gift each guest nust leave a sum of money for ev rv servant and attendant in his iost's house. As there are numer ms5 attendants and each one must receive a "tip" according to his rank a great deal of money is nec essary. At the marriage dif the Grand Duke and Duchess of Ilesse the guests left altogether $9,000 to be distributed, besides bestowing $6,500 worth of gifts among the servants before their departure. Dewey's Physical Strength. Ethough Admiral Dewey is uni versally known to be halo and hearty, hardly any one gives him credit for p)ossessing the great phys ical strength with which he is gift ed. One of the Spanish-American war veterans, who had Jill but lost the power of walking, called on him at his Washington home not long ago and found the admiral standing on thme front steps. De )wey invited himt in, hut the disabled aman looked doub)tfully at thle steps, seeing which thle athiral reached into the carriage, p)icked hiim up bodily and carriedh him upl thle step)s and into the drawing room, where lie laced his burden in the easiest chair at hand. _____ Cost of the Scrap Heap, The contractor for the New York rap)id transit subway recently stated that owing to the great develop ment in electrical art a generation of electricity is n ow only three years. This is a startling announce ment and sets one to thinking. What becomes of all the old ma chinery, and who pays for the new ? How long will it be before a comn pany' can install a plant and feel assured that the machinery wvill not have to come out within a year or two ? Does not this continual scrap ping .of machinery mean a loss somewhere ?-Electrical Review. Must Have Kissed the Blarney Stone. On the eve of Minister Wu's de parture from Washington a young woman of his acquaintance said to him that she hoped to visit China some day', as what he had told her about his native country had been so interesting. "But you have never explained," she added, "why China men take four or five wives." With a grave bow the oriental diplomat said, "My countrymen.take so many in order that they maiy find in all of them the beauties and accom plishments of one such young lady as you." _______ .* Early Rie S | featust@slA J.
