f GOV. ORR'S PORTRAIT IN THE CAPITAL! P. H. IVIcGowan in Columbia State X Washington, Sept. 30.?Hanging alongside those of John G. Carlisle. Thomas B. Heed, Charles C. Crisp and other former speakers of the national house of representatives in th capi tol is the hnndsome oil puinting of one of South Carolina's favorite and much loved sons??James L. Orr. And to add to the interest In the new painting is the fact that it was done / one of the Palmetto tSate's fa rite daughters?Miss Esther Ed tonds of Columbia, who lias already itmdo a big name for herself in the world of art. A year or two ago when the house committee on library was directed to secure new paintings to take the place of several old ones then hanging in th speaker's lobby at tbe capitol, and It became generally known that the work was to be undertaken, there was a dmand from many persons to be permitted to do it. Hut care had to be used as it was not the financial part of the matter in which the com mittee and the people of the country were interested in having new paint ings of their former speakers made to take the place of those which time bad begun to ruin, but to secure the very best work that was possible. When the time came to award the contracts the committee almost with out, hesitation decided that when the new picture of Gov. Orr should be painted the work should go to a South Carolinan.

Mo. and just how well she has succeeded may be ascertained from the expres sions heard that it is one of the best and most life-like of the portraits ever painted for congress. The painting is entirely unlike the one whose place it took. The old picture represented South Carolina's son with long, black beard and made him look quite old; the new one, on the contrary, presents him as a much younger man, possibly not over 40 or 42 or 411, with no beard. Tho clear ness of the eye. the large, massive brow and the clean, clear.-cut fea tures of oQv. Orr in the new picture are points that are easily seen. Many favorable comments have been heard regarding it, and only today when Tho State's correspondent went to the capitol some of the official guides who are on duty there said that a large number of tourists had stopped to look at the picture since it was hung and that many had expressed tho opinion that it was an excellent piece of work. The old painting lias not been cast aside, but. on the contrary, Elliott Woods, superintendent of the capitol building and grounds, is carefully pre serving it from decay in an upper room in the capitol. This morning when I asked him if I might have per mission to Inspect this old painting in order to compare it with the new one, he cheerfully complied and fur nished me a guide to the very dome of the capitol. There, many feet from the stret blow, is a snug little- room where Mr. Woods keeps his old-time treasures. Turning tho key in the big, rusty lock th large wooden door swung back and there, each clothed with its own white suit of heavy cov ering, were half a dozen or more pic tures of former speakers. That of Gov. Orr was with them. Moving many of them around the little room In order that 1 might find the one I wanted, I presently came to it, and had no difficulty in recognizing it as the old Orr painting that had hung so many years in the speakers lobby side by side with others of the coun try's great men. South Carolinans who come to Washington sightseeing may see tho now painting if they will go direct to the speaker's lobby at the capitol. It is near the middle of tho large group, and Is one of four or five which have recently been repainted. By this excellent pieco of work a bright future hns opened up before Miss" Edmonds, and her artistic skill will doubtless be greatly valued in the years to come. A Mack Cat Wanted.
