There has recently been published a state ment which proves that it pays to be faithful. Two employes of the store of M. Ehrlich ?

A/? The two employes Who were remem bered In the. will I,were Thos. D. and George E. MurUaabnw, who had been ,vvlth the linn ever ulnce they were lads. Two better salesmen never lived lu the city of Columbia, and tho repu tation of the store, established years before, was sustained in part by the .work of these two earnest, loyal, practical men. To each of them Mr. Ehrlich left ?:>.000 and $4,500 in stock in the store. The Murtiushaws had for years been identified with the city- of Columbia in its progressive life, and this will be no mean help in assisting them to be come more substantially known. ? We congratulate tho city of Colum bia on having the Murtinshuwa. They were In Anderson for the meeting of tho grand lodge or Odd FeViOws last year and made many friends here.

But I am told that you have taken action to. vindlcato i the rightpfiand dignity of this* senate, s body. gr?atlyirtisu?^t'#d -by Jbo, people or fiouth C*i*ottnM and* to "vlhdlchte me. for which I am deeply Kratofol. "It now becomes my place to speak for mine own. "Beneath the shado of a great live oak in a Beaufort graveyard, lies the body or my rather. Tonight his name Is held up Tor the scorn ot the people or this state by the governor and for a thing he did not do. My fathar was ^ union soldier. If it had become his duty to lead 'charges with negro troops against the white soldiers of the Southern Confeder acy,' he could havo don? nothing else as a soldier. But that duty did not become his. Ho entered the army a foreigner, hardly able to ?peak this 1 anguage, and for bravery on many hard fought battlefield ho was pro moted to >be a corporal, to be a ser geant, to:be a captain. He received commission putting him In com mand of a negro company on a dis tant field, ut before he did his or ders were changed, and he was as signed toi other duty. 'The insinuations of this message were voiced shortly after Iho dts pen - sary investigation by H. H. Evans in Nowberry and published in a daily paper. Confederate veterans in Beaufort, my father being absent | en and' 'dur 'dead from the state, published-a statement protesting against the attack and Speaking highly of his life in Beau fort. That action of those Confed erate veterans is u part of my heri tage. "I believe that no youth in this state has crown up with feelings ?. greater ret-poct for the soldiers of tho Confederacy than 1 have, and I got them from nry father. He taught mo to honor the Conf?d?rale sol dier. For tour years he fought sgalnst the armies of the south. For more than 30 years after the war he lived in the .south and did all that an humble man could in a way to huild it up. "In my campaigns far the position I now hold, all these facts were ful ly discussed and the people who are I responsible for my b< lug here know all about them. They have passed on them. They knew my father well, gray-haired Confederate veterans and man whose forefathers lived on that soil when it was roamed by the In dians voted for me and sent mo here to represent them. "Horn in this state, T loved it as a lad. But that love lias grown very deep and very strong theso later years as I have found its people ready to accept me and mine with out prejudice. A people who can rise above these sectional passions is a nobl? peoplo and their state is a great state. It seems a splendid thing to nie that my humble politi cal career, could, embody tho evi dence oi this' fine .trait of South Ca rolinians. She forgets the bitterness of the past, and. cherishing its ideals of sacrifice for, conviction, lives in the present and in the future. "There is now another matter, and about it I hesitate to speak, but I think I must. "After serving here for ten years It was my privilege to bring into this chamber and introduce to many of you my mother. During an evening session, while I was called out, she was subjected to the experience of hearing that other message of the governor read, In which her name is mentioned in connection with his slurs and insinuations, and in which veiled and sneering allusions to her | dead husband W0~H made, l stand here to'rerf?nt JtMs,.

Irate Correspondent Of all the funny things that have happened to this newspaper man, the receipt of the following letter may be said to be the topping off of all? "I understand,'' writes an offended friend, " that your representative here sont your paper a communication ln| which my 'name figures" somewhat prominently. This gentleman is sup posed by some people to be a wit. Mr, Elbert Hubbard said on one oc casion that nothing had broken more friendship than a difference of opinion as to what Constitutes wit, and 1 think be was correct in his views.- I would not mind is the least Hiving your correspondant a whipping if T hare tc, nut I do not want to have him bring suit against your paper for an of fense unintentionally committed." ' HO NOB BOLL. Contrarywise The above "reminds us" of s sin gular thing that happened to a dis tinguished newspaper correspondent a few years ago. He was sent by his paper to investigate" 'something or other. An irate gentleman of un questioned courage and equally un questioned determination warned him "If you say anything reflecting upon my kinsman, I will bold you person ally responsible." Tjs which the dis tinguished news correspondent re-1 plied "Don't shoot me, Colonel, sue the paper," Which provoked a laugh and the Incident closed.
