h and ;,fT . SOUTH CAROL1NA DAY AT THE CHARLESTON EXPOSITION. Thursday, March 20ih, has been set apart by the Exposition authorities and the general assembly as South Carolina Da7 at the Charleston Expo sition, and the governor in a proclama tion has endorsed the action of the legislature and urged the people to at tend the Exposition at some time dur ing its progress, and especially on South Carolina Day. We hope to see Newberry County largely represented in Charleston on this day. It is unnecessary to repeat here the many reasons why every citi zen of the State who can, should attend the Exposition. But if the people of South Carolina want to see displayed the resources and industries of their State, and of almost every section of this- country, and other parts of the world, they should not miss the oppor tunity that is here offered. The ex hibits in any one building alone will justify the trip. And especially sbould the South Carolina building, where are gathered all the exhibits from the several counties, and where are shown the resources and advantages and possibilities of the State at large, draw the people of this State to the Exposi tion. The Exposition is a State enterprise, worthy of the most hearty support and encouragement of the State, and South Carolina Day should be the red letter day in its history, and we hope to see a large number of the people of our county In attendance. By all means attend the Exposition, and if possibly, be there on South Caro lina Day. THR PEOPLE MISREPRESENTED. The fillowing interview from Senator Tillman appeared in the New York Sun the day after Tillman's denial of the Platt interview: "Senator Tillman was asked last night " 'Is the state of public feeling in South Carolina such that President Rooseveli would be in danger of personal violence, should he carry out his plans of visitng your State?" "The senator's verbatim reply was: "'I don't believe it is dangerous in that sense, but I know there is very in tensefeeling there. Our people are not savages, but you can't undertake to speak fot an entire people it that condition of mind. If I were to go and say they wouldn't insult Pres. ident Rcosevelt if he should go there, it might inspire some drunken fool to "d< it. There might be some drunken foo; who would blow off his indignation an< not have proper regard for the proprieties which would obtain almost anywhere it the United States.' " If the above interview with Senatoi Tillman be true, and we presume it is, as the Times, the Tribune, and the World of the same date, reported substantially the same interview, Senator Tillman is doing his Stategand his people a great in justice. The people of South Carolime are neither "drunken fools" nor are they lacking in "proper regard for the pro prieties which would obtain almost any. where in the United States." So far as we have been able to observe, there is n< "intense feeling" anywhere in . this State regarding the President and he would not be in the slightest danger ol any harm, On the contrary he will be given a most cordial and hearty receptiot and welcome as the chief magistrate of this country. We cannot say that the people of South Carolina will condemn Mr. Tillman for thus misrepresenting them, for it seems that during his reign in this State he has been at liberty to say anything that he pleases and even on the stump when he would denominate hii supporters as fools, the sentiment would be applauded. How long he will con tinue to hold such sway over the people of this State we are not able to say. The news of the death of Mr. J. D. Campbell, official stenographer of the Seventh circuit, was received in New berry on last Monday with deep regret. Mr. Campbell during his service in this position had made many warm friends in Newberry. Personally we liked and esteemed him, and always looked for ward with pleasure to his coming among us. His presence will be missed at the Newberry courts, and the place which he had won in the esteem of his friends in Newberry will be hard to fill. The article published in our last issue. was mistaken in saying that Mr. Campbell was the first stenographer ol this circuit. He succeeded Mr. W. A. Laws, now president of the Spartan burg National Bank, who was the first stenographer, and filled the position most acceptably. Mr. Wyatt Aiken, of Abbeville, has annonnced that he will be in the race for congress from this district. Mr. Aiken is well and pleasantly known in the State. He is a young man, the son of the late Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, who represented his district in congress at the time of his death. He has held the important position of court stenogra pher for eighteen years, and has filled the position with satisfaction to all. He went into the First South Carolina Regiment, in the war with Spain, as a private, and was later promoted to first lieutenant and acted as regimental quartermaster during his whole term of offlee. He has taken an active part in politics and has many friends in the district. The death of Rev. Dr. Jno. T. Chal - mers, in Charlotte, on yesterday is a great loss to the A. R. P. church in the South and to the Christian ministry. He was a man far above the average in intel lectual ability and a faithful servant of his church. The people throughout the State learned with pleasure that President Roosevelt has not given up his inten tion of visiting the Charle;ton Expo sition, and that he will likely attend some time during the present morth. For the PreAidtnt to have decided otherwise aft-r the Tillman-McLcurin mess and the various interviews from Senator Tillmon and contradic!ions thereof, would have been a misfortune both to the Exposition and to South Carolina. He will be welcomed by the people of this State and treated with honor and courtesy while in South Carolina. GR&DED SCHOOL BUILDING FOR PROSPERITY.

Dominick had a unique c ard which contained presents received on the occasion of his recent birthday while in Columbia attending the legis lature, which were pieces of money pasted on a large card with the names of the donators written beneath each all in a nice frame, hanging on tbe wall in his office. The total amount of money on the card was $1.61. When Mr. Dominick went to his office yester day morning he found the frame and card on the floor and the money gone. He put the police on the case and in about two hours they had discovered that the mischief had been done by a couple of little idle urchins that are constantly playing around the streets. This was a good piece of work on the part of the police. Mr. Dominick prized the presents very highly. Doing the Right Thing. The trouble begins with a tickling in the throat and a nagging little cough. Soreness in the chest follows and the patient wonders if he is going to have an all winter cold. Probably, if he does the wrong thing or nothing. Ce tainly not if he uses Perry Davis' Pain killer, the staunch old remedy that cures a cold in twenty-four hours. There is but one Painkiller, Perry nais' WEDDED IN CHARLOTTE. Mr. Geo. M. HIP-hop Marries a Popular Young Lady of Charlotte, N. U. The Charlotte Observer of Thursday contained the following account of a wedding of special interest here: "At her beautifully ornamentedhome on North Graham street, this city, last evening, surrounded by a number of rela tives and friends, numbering nearly two hundred Miss Nancy Maxwell, the lovely and popular daugther of Col. and Mrs. D. G. Maxwell, and Mr. G. M. Bishop, of Columbia, S. C., a prominent South Carolinian and a law agent of the South ern railway, were united in marriage, thE ceremony being performed by Rev. Dr. John W. Stagg, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church. "The bridal party was preceded b3 two charming little ribbon girls, Misse. Ethel and Margaret Pritchard, nieces ol the bride, daintily dressed in white or gandie. The wedding march from Mendelssoht was artistically rendered by Miss Pattit Morris. "The bride wore a handsome going away gown of cedar green cloth witl trimmings of cream applique, hat tc match, and carried a bouquet of bridet roses and lillies of the valley. Miss Alma Bishop, a sister of the groom was bridesmaid. She was dressed in white silk mulle, with ribbon trimmings and carried a bouquet of pink carnations. Miss Mary Maxwell, sister of the bride and maid of honor, was gowned in rose liberty silk, black velvet, and white ap plique trimmings and carried carnations. "After the marriage ceremony there was a reception, with elabarate refresh ments. The young couple received many hand some presents. Mr P. I. Wells, superin tendent, and many other prominent offi. cials of the Southern railway, from New berry and Columbia, S. C., were present. Mr. anp Mrs. Bishop left on the South er at io o'clock for points in Florid and Cuba." In Memory of Mrs. Elizabeth Wicker. The messenger of death has agaiE visited the home of Mr. Monroe Wick. er, and taken the dear old mother Mrs. Elizabeth Wicker. It was agreat shock to the community. She leave, two children and three daughters and a host of grandchildren to mourn hei departure. It has been the writer'i pleasure to converse with her on re ligious topics, and I have every assur ance that she died trusting in her Divine Saviour. She had many friends that will miss the cheerful face, he] seat at her church as now unoccupied and the vacant chair now at home ii set aside. "Mother is no more.' Friends do not weep, she is sweetly resting in the arms of Jesus. She has been a member of the church, and liv. ing a Christian for 65 years, surely she is at peace. She had no fear of the sting of death, and now she is reaping her just reward, with Jesus and hii heavenly host, and will be waiting foi her loved ones to come. How peaceful the slumber. Hov happy the waking, for death was onl a dream. S. Reuben, S. C. The State Snday School Conventilon. The State Sunday School Convention which will meet in Greenwood, S. C. March 25-27 will be a notable gathering. From information already had we have reason for expecting a large attendance enquiries for programs and other infor mati.n are coming in from all sections o: our State Beside-s prominent and force ful speakers of our State who will attend, the Sunday School association has en gaged the services of Mr Chas. D. Meigs, of Indianapolis. Ind., who will deliver several of his wide awake addresses. Mr. Meigs is widely known as a Sunday school specialist, and in some sections is referred to as the "Sunday School A wak ener." He is the author of several mono. graphs relating to the great Sunday school movement that is awakening this and other continents to larger appreciation o: the opportunities everywhere within reach of every well meaning, consecrated man and woman. He is also associate editor of the '-International Sunday School Evangel" published in St. Louis. He is a live wire and will do us all good It will be a source of great delight and o improvement both spiritually and mental ly to every superintendent and teache who will attend. The expense is sig gnificant, but the cause is great. hope that the Sunday schools o South Carolina will take up thi matter forthwith and if the superin tendent or a teacher say in each school i disinclined or disinterested, then let the Sunday school defray the expenses of the trip. and it will be more than amply reim bursed. It is the cause of the Master; le no man be a slaggard, or see any lions it the way. Lastly, this movement stand& for christian co-operation in good work, not organic union it stands for large] equipment, for better teaching, better methods and for everything that is help ful, hopeful and good in Sunday school work.
