Louis Appelt was at one time a lieutenant of United States Senator Ben Tillman and the two were eo eloae together that Senator Tillman fondly addressed him as “My Dear Appelt” We take the following from Mr. Appelfs paper, the Manning Times: The Parkersville (West Virginia) State Journal was not well Impressed with Senator Tillman’s recent lecture in that town, and makes the follow ing comment: If one were called upon without knowledge of his idenlty to slae him up after listening to his bombastic tirade the verdict would probably be that he was a half-educated. Ill-bred coun try lawyer who prides himself upon being the cock-of-tbe-walk in his own small community. His argument on the race question was for the most part a rehash of newspaper and mag azine articles on the subject thirty years ago. replete with outbursts of vicious hate incredible. The pres ence of cultivated ladles and young girls who formed half of his largo audience wag no restraint to his pro fanity and obscenity, the latter being of the most shocking type. It is to be regretted that the cause of the State ft>r whom he pretends to speak angel of death has crossed no threshold of a friend; that no man driven by liquor, hatred or fear has taken the Hfe of a fellow-human; that no poor devil, haunted by the past or the misdeeds of some other, has crossed the great divide by his own hand. So the next time you pick up a paper that doesn’t announce a tra gedy. give a Httle thanks instead of grunting because there is no news. personal, paragraphs.

Finding The Donkey. (Woman’s Home Companion.) The usual group was gathered around “The New York Store" talk ing of Dick Mulllu’s lost donkey. Everyone had been looking for it without success, since It had strayed out of the pasture lot a day or two before. Jim Thompson, a lanky individual, regarded as more or less of an Imbe cile by the townsmen, finally spoke up: “I think I cpuld find your donkey.” How can you find him. Jim,” asked the owner, “when the best men In town ain’t been able to git trace of him?’’ “Wla-al,” rejoined Jim, “I kin try, can’t I? How much is it worth to ye?" The owner “allowed it was worth a dollar. “All right,” said Jim, and walked away on his search. To the surprise of all he returned in less than half an hour leading the missing donkey by a rope halter. “Sakes alive!" exclaimed Mullins, as he paid over the dollar,“how In the world did ye find him so quick, Jim?” “Wa-al,” returned Jim, “I thought to myself, ‘Now. ef I was a jackass where would I go?' And so I went there, and he had.” NOTICE OF OPENING OF BOOKS OF SUBSCRIPTION. State of South Carolina, County of Cherokee. Pursuant to a commission issued to the undersigned as corporators, by R. M.
