Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, as the Democratic leader upon the floor of | the United States house of representa- j tives attracted more than a passing mention. For some years it has been j the custom to select the leader from ! the South. And no man up to the present time has done anything as Democratic floor leader to merit any particular attention. Rut the advent of John Sharp Wil liams as leader marked a new era of things. From the very beginning his masterly leadership attracted atten- I tion. From being a mere figurehead i in a semi-official position, he became ja real leader, with an ardently enthu siastic following. Before the adjourn ment of the last session of congress the Republicans fully realized that in Mr. Williams they had a formidable man to cope with, who would easily prove to be a foe worthy of their steel. On many occasions he brought great discomfiture to their ranks, and several times, in spite of their large working majority, brought them al most to the point of defeat. The selection of Mr. Williams as the temporary chairman of the Demo cratic convention at St. Louis was an honor and a distinct recognition of merit, as it is r >r the temporary chair man of the national conventions, in their speeches of acceptance to sound the keynotes of the coming campaign. This was done by Elihu Root, of New York, for the Republicans, and was such a presentation of the Republican side of the argument as to call for the most aide exposition of Democratic loctrine. And Mr. Williams, of Mis sissippi, was unanimously chosen for 'he task. How well he succeeded can be learned by a perusal of his speech. Suffice it to say that it is one of which •very Southern man should ami doubt lessly will be proud—proud of the fact that in the person of John Sharp Williams the dear old Southland has again come to the front, the position having been gained by the Mississ- ippian as a recognition of brains, ability, energy and indomitable pluck. of A NEWSY LETTER FROM ETTA JANE, MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE.

Miss Emma Laird, eldest daughter of John Laird, a well known contract or of Aiken, was drowned in the surf at Sullivan’s Island, near Charleston. Sunday afternoon while attempting to save her younger sister. The younger girl was unconscious when brought ashore but was resuscitated after two hours’ work. Miss Laird was spending the summer on the is land and was very popular and highly esteemed. She was 22 years of age. The body of Jacob Kind, of Char leston, an illicit liquor shop keeper, who had been missing since Thurs day, was found floating in the cistern on his premises in King street Tues day morning. There was a great gash in the throat, several stabs in the breast, and the body was in a frightful state of decomposition. His clerk, Edward Kennedy, alias Grant, who has been conducting the "blind tiger” since King's disappearance, left Charleston Monday night, with considerable money and every effort Is being made to capture him. as cir cumstantial evidence points strongly to his guilt. Dr. Steedly's Average. The July 23rd number of the Jour nal of the American Medical Asso- i elation reports the written examina- I tions by the South Carolina State I Board of Medical Examiners, held in Columbia, April 2f.th to 2Sth, 19<H. ; There were thirty-three persons ex- aimed and the highest average, 93 7 h, i was obtained by Dr. B. B. Steedly, <f Gaffney. ‘ The next highest aver age was 89 %. 1 The same issue of the Journal re ports the examinations held in New Tersey. North Carolina. District of ! Columbia and Illinois. The total lumber examined In these States re ported, was 30fi. Out of which num- | her forty-six failed. There was only | one out of the who attained a higher average than Dr. Steedly and "Sates | his was only 2-5 of a per cent higher. | Enore- ! Dr. Steedly’s average before the New! York State Board of Medical Examin es was 92 per cent. A Dog Fight. The most sensational happening of ; the week was a dog fight on Lime stone street yesterday afternoon, the I oarticipants being Barney Lipscomb’s ! bull dog and Mayor Gaffney’s setter. The setter got the best of the fight ! because the bull dog got a hold on 'the leather collar around the setter's neck and thought he had the meat. The setter got in good work and the | bull dog came out with a disfigured i r'ace, which tended to make him look more vicious than ever. The fight ; created amusement for quite a crowd that collected during the engagement. Etta Jane. Aug. 10.—The meeting I closed at Salem last Sabbath with , three accessions to the church.

Crops are looking splendid, but we fear that we are having too much rain, espec ially for cotton. Mrs. Rev. L. H. McSwain, aged nearly eighty-seven years, has had very bad health all summer. She is still very feeble, and we fear that, she will not last long. The people of this section are well supplied with fine watermelons. The revival meeting closed at Beth lehem last Tuesday. Ten were bap tized into the fellowship of the church. The revival at Grover is still go ing on. hut we don’t know just how long it will continue. It has been a splendid meeting so far. The Grover Baptist church has of fered its help, if needed, to entertain the delegates and visitors of the Broad River Association that meets at Antioch August 25th. So you need not fear that we will be crowded. Come, ail who wish, and you will have attention. All who are coming by railroad are asked to write Rev. E. B. McSwain, Kings Creek, S. C., chair man of the committee on hospitality, who will see that they have convey ances and respectable homes. Remember that the 17th of August is picnic day at Antioch. We expect a very large crowd and a fine time. “Picnic Boy.” E. L.

The following was cut from a Mis sissippi paper and sent us for publi cation, by Mr. Zack Tate, who, with our deceased friend, Mr. M. M. Tate, were brothers of Mr. J. W. S Tate, the subject of this sketch, who, like his brother, was a native of the Un ion part of this county and will be remembered by our old people: Obituary. J. W. S. Tate was born Sept. 3rd, 1323, in Union District, S. C.. married Elizabeth Hardin, of York District, S. C., March 8th, 1849, and moved to Mississippi in 1854, buying and set tling the home from which his spirit went back to the God who gave it, June 17th, 1904. In very early life he was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal church, remaining a loyal member of said church till his death. He loved the church of his choice and her work. “Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise.” were dear to his heart. Many of these hymns that had been committed to memory in childhood, he could re peat after he was eighty years old, without the slightest prompting or help. He read his Bible until he knew the main facts of it by heart. His pocket Bible, carried by him during the four years of the “Uncivil War,” was marked by his pencil in hundreds of places. His name and Panola, Miss., May 14, 18C3, are written around the 37th Psalm. The same Psalm is marked Nov. 2, 1802. The 12th Psalm and Panola are associated in 1802. “In camps, in hollow tree at Grena da, August 28, 1803,” and “Hospital, Mobile, September, 1801,” and num berless notes of a similar kind, could have been found all through his Bible. After the war no one worked more energetically than he. striving to re gain what had been lost by its cruel ravages. In his humble, unostenta tious way he served his country faithfully for several years. At one time as a member of the board of su pervisors. preventing the county’s contracting a debt which would have, involved her in financial ruiii. !n November, 1902, he became par tially paralyzed, but recovered suf ficiently to be up and going about most of the time, till May 28th, 19**4, when his fatal sickness came upon him.

Do you feel that Jesus is with you?” To both of these questions he answered "Yes.” He had often told us he di*l not dread death and would much rather die than to be helpless. He would often say, ”1 am in the hands of the Lord. I can not save myself, and if He were as unmerciful as man, but few would be saved. But I know. He is merciful and all-powerful, and in His atoning blood I am trusting.” A wife and seven children preceded him to the spirit land. Six children ! survive, and Oh! how we miss him! His body was laid to rest by the Masonic fraternity, in Mount Olivet [.cemetery, June 18th, 1904. His children, Maggie and Albert Tate. rains Meeting at Sardis.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use of pills, liquid medicines and so-call“d system tonics. Under such treatment the germs of the disease will still live in the air passages and increase and multiply. Hyomei is the only scientflc and thorough way to cure catarrh. Kill ing the germs in the air passages, it enters the blood with the oxygen, de stroys the microbes in the blood and effectually drives-from the system all traces of catarrhal poison. Probably the strongest evidence that can be offered as to the powers of Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact fhst the Gaffney Drug Co. will agree to refund the money if you say Hyo mei has not cured you. . The complete Hyomei outfit costs hut $1.90 and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the vest Dock et, a medicine dropper and a bottl jof Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime, and if one bottle does not cure, an ex tra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cent^ A mosquito calls for more patience than a balky elephant. its value has become known.
