* MADDEN NEWS. " (Left Out Last Week.) Madden, April 3.--"April showers bring May flowers" and tlui far we are In the year 1916! Anybody that has any poetry at all in his soul can but feel the promptings of the Muse on a showery April morning. An all wise and all merciful God sends down the showers to feed the children of nien. The somber dress of brown, which old Mother Nature doned for the winter, has given place to a call, restful green, the flowering trees, the growing grain all point to the harvest. How little and mean and contemptible must Ingratitude seem sto Him who gives -the sunshine and ,rain? Owing to sickness our 'epresenta tives of New Prospect school failed to get to the township contest at Watts Mill. The little speakers were almost heart-broken. "Why in the world didn't you come to the speaking lath night, Maude" asked a schoolmate who went up ex pecting to hear and holler for Pros pect. "I couldn't go, Laurence. I was sick but tell me would anybody beat me?" "Grattious no!" he lisped, "there wathn't anybody there in your clath at all!" and so the disappointment was made less severe by a compliment! Mr. J. A. Wofford was so sick Friday afternoon that a doctor was sent for. Upon the suggestion of his physician, Dr. Teague, Mr. Woftord went to Greenville Sunday to consult an eye specialist to see if his violent head aches were caused by the eye. He car ried his little boy, Lynt also. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Culbertson left for Anderson Sunday in their car. Mrs. Culbertson is in hopes her stay with her mother for a few weeks will be beneficial to her health. She hasn't been well in several weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Iobt. Timmerman came Sunday for a visit to her mother, Mrs. Cora Madden. Mrs. Josie Martin and Miss IlettlIe Cunningham were the guests Friday of Mrs. Thomas Finley. Mrs. .1. It. Finley's eye is thought to be better and she is getting on very nicely now. Mrs. 'I'omn Shaw and Mrs. Mary Sims 'ent down to Columbia Saturday to see their mother, Mrs. i'stelle Daven port who is in the city hospital, They stopped awhilie Sunday afternoon to see their auni, .\Mrs. 'I'. S. ILangston. Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Dunlap and Miss Lee Martin of Laurens were Mrs. Langston's callers also. Friends of Mrs. Dunlap (and it seems to some of her schoolmates of long ago that she has in reality found the fabled water for which DeSoto sought inas much as she does not grow old!) will he interested in knowing that she is to represent the Laurens chapter D. A. R. at Washington, D. C. in April. We wish her a pleasant trip. The little hoy at my house was de lighted last week on receiving a long and exceedingly interesting letter froim Mr, GCo. L. Pitts a well known L auriens counity man nowv in Texas. It -it had conie a little eariliei' I wouild hav~e set. it to the Advert iser' foi' the school issue- -It iiay come latei'. (Gus was a pmpil of' his foi' a shoi't while and~ the liking was mutual, lie saw in Theu Ad verftiser' of thle aneleden t to the lad's eye and wi'ote to him. Mr'. T. S. Langston played two v'ery sweet' snred songs foi' his calleis S'unday afternoon on thle fiddle, ac (omipanied on the oi'gan by his daugh tci', Miss Susie. ",\igghty to Save" and "I lave you ?". When lie finished he qiuierriedl, "Did anybhody evei'y heai' anything prettier than that?" "1'nele Tonm" saidl Mirs. Dunlap, "'Nothing could be sweeter than that tenor you have just played, unless you sang it. To my way of thinking I have never heard a sweeter tenor voice than yours." He gently patted the old fiddle with one hand and strok ed his beard with the other, beaming a complacent smile on me as he made the remark, "Annie always tells the old man the truth!" If any of you readers ever have the chance, get Uncle Tom to play "Have You" and listen at the tenor in the chorus "I have a pardon that frees from all sin; I have a peace that abideth within; I have a power that will hell) me win, Have you? Have you?" If you love music the memory of that song will go with you. Our rural policeman, Andy Boyd has helped himself to a new car, a Ford. Evil doers had better now get them selves seven league boots or else be have themselves! Mr. and Mrs. Ben Martin were the guests Sunday of their brother, Mr. Walter Moore. Miss Allie Holingsworth spent the week-end in Laurens with relatives. She was accompanied by Miss Julia Chapman. We are indebted to Uncle John Langston for a recent favor. By the way, he and Uncle John Finley are anxious to go hell) catch Villa! * * . *. e . *.e * . . . S e * LETTER FROM VOTER,. * (In Pickens Sentinel.) * e " " e " e " e" e " e e e" " What has come over this democratic state of ours? We thought that the government belonged to the people, was run by the people in the interest of all the people. We thought that ev ery citizen had a perfect right to run for any office in the gift of the people if he desires to do so, provided he had the wherewithal to defray his part of the expenses of the campaign? And yet when a gentleman by the name of R. A. Cooper of Laurens County at the earnest solicitation of hundreds of good citizens and voters of the State announced that he will be in the race for Gov. the newspapers raise a howl and say he ought not to run against (ov. Manning, that it had been our custom to give a man a second teIm. if you strictly adhere to that custom, is It democracy? Why not go to work and mlake this o1ice of Gov. I years instead of 2. Mr. Cooper has a perfect right, to ru1n for the ollice. Ile is a mian of law ful age and under the tongue of good report, and there are thousands of voters in the state who believe that he can, and will be elected, and when he is Gov. will be as goed a Chief Magistrate as the Old Palmetto state or any other state ever had. If Gov. Manning can make enough voters be lieve that he ought to have a second tern we are democrats and are willing to abide the decision of the people at the ballot box, but we insist that every citizen who desires to run for office has the right to do so. But in the case of Mr. Cooper he would not have made this race at this time, but for the ,urgency of his friends all over the slate, he feels 1like it is in answver to the call of dutty, and to dischari ge ones duty is ani honor higher thani to f111 any olIlee.
