TRE ppZi4]IDENT AND CHABLKSTON. Since the President has defini'ely de cided on his visit to South Carolina the people of Charleston and tho Exposi tion autboritis have gone to work to make his stay in South Carolina a pleasant and interesting one. In this we believe they will have the co-opera tion of all the people of South Carolina, who will feel honored in treating Pres ident Roosevelt with the greatest cour tesy while here, both because it is due him as President of tbe Unit.d State and because.it will come, as a matter of course, from a people who have al ways been Doted for their courtes5 ' and hospitality to the guests of their State and their homes. The time foz his visit is most opportune. The Till. man-McLaurin difficulty in the Senate and the various interviews given th( daily press by Senator Tillman, al though some of these have beer proven unture, have placed thi State in a rather bad light before thf other parts of the country, and nothing could more fully set at rest the varioul rumors and low insinuations from vari ous sections than an official and i friendly visit of the President to th( Exposition, and a warm welcome ex tended him upon his arrival, and hii stay among us made pleasant When President roosevelt has seei the great Exposition and learned frfn personal observation and experienci something of the people and the Stat which made it possible, we believe tha he will return to his duties as chief ex ecutive of the nation with pleasan memories and a new and fuller concep tion of South Carolina and her people NgWBERRY COLLEGE DAY. In another eolumn is published thl program and details of the trip of New berry College to the Charleston Expc sition on the first day of April. All th schools of the county and the peopl generally are invited and requested t make the trip with the students, s that Newberry County will have as bil representation as possible in Charles ton on Newberry College Day. Ou people should take an interest in th success of this trip, for nothing wil help the college more than a goo showing in Charleston. If any of th schools or school children of the count intend to visit the Expbsition at som time, we do not think they could selec a better time or a better occasion~ * Probably the largest crowds from al sections of the country will be there a that time, and the Exposition will b in full blast. - The studenes ought to be accompa nied by alarge crowd. The Anderson business men set goo' examples. Not long ago they were die satisfied with the way the fertilize trust had treated them and they organ ized a $6,000,000 fertilizer company 0 their own, now they have rates to sui them. They also objected to tbe raIs of,insurance rates by the Southeaster * Tariff Association and they have or ganized themselves into a mutual as sociation for carrying their own insu rance. Independent people are tb only ones that get along in the world People who will Dot do for 'themselve must expect to be "done" by others a long as they live.-Florence Times. There is no doubt the Anderson busi ness men have an independent spiri and have gone about their fi)ht agains - the trust in the right manner, but w fail to see where the benefit to the peo ipie who are not in the trust comes il even If the Anderson people should ki] the fertilizer trust. It is an old say Ink that the best way to fight the devi is with fire, and it may be true, bu the fire with which the devil is fough will be just as hot as the devil-s owr fire. If the fertilizer trust is a bal thing, then the Anderson trust is a bai thing. Butfit seems to us that the trust i a bad thing only for the people who ar * not in the trust, and we have observe' that as soon as a man gets into a trust no matter how hard he may have fough trusts; then the evils of trusts for hira have passed away, and they are a goo' thing. It altogether depends on th point of ci view. It seems that the only thing fo which we who are out of the thing cal hope for, is that the victorious concer: will come out of the battle so badl wounded that it will be disabled fo life. Mr. Cole. L. Blease, member of th StateDemocratic Executive Committee Issues a call to the members of th county committee to meet at Ne wberr3 This is done in the absence of Mr. C. F Boyd, deceased, who was county chair man. It will be necessary for th county committee to elect a new chair man. This call reminds us that we ar about to enter upon another State an county campaign. We scarcely get ou of one campaign before we are in an other. In fact it would seem to an out sider that we are a nation of politicians We refer to this now, however, t express the hope that we may have pleasant campaign, free fro'm bitternes and vituperation, and that if any can didate should undertake to indu'ge in I the people may give him a lesson whicl he will have plenty of time in the quietude of his own home to learn. The indications now are tha' t2here are going to be lots of men in the State willing to lay themselves as a sacrifice upon the alter of almost any job in the gift of the people. The primary system gives every voter in the State the right to express his preference for every officer from Senator to Coroner, and the people are .-w nsufiintly infored to select wisely. Of course there are times when they may be fooled, but now there is no passion nor strong prejudice to f sway the voter and the candidate must stand on his own merits. It is well for the State that it is so, and we are wil- s ling to trust thc people to do the right. The second primary for mayor in Col- I umbia:will be held today. The race is be tween F. S. Earle, and W. J. Cathcart. f Mr. Earle is the present mayor and Mr. t Cathcart was for several years Sheriff of the county and two years ago voluntarily E retired. The State newspaper has been I very severe in its criticisims of Mayor I Earle and yesterday -spent nearly two columns to show why he should not be elected. It is advocating the election of Mr. Cathcart. They are both good men. Tonight was the time decided by coun cil by which to take final action on the franchise to the Bell Telephone Co. There is no need for further delay. Coun cil should take some definite action. The Bell people desire to know what to ex pect and the home company would not object to know if the council is going to modify the first proposition made to the Bell Company. MR. FURMAN'S LECTUBE. A Remarkable Lecture on South Carolina and Local History by a btudent of Both. The lecture delivered in the Armory on last Friday night by Mr. McDonald I Furman, of Privateer, Sumter County, deserved a larger audieuce. There were reasons, however, why the audience was not larger, among which may be rmentioned the fact that it was rt ge erally known that he would be here L and in addition the weather was very inclement. Mr. Furman spoke of his pleasure in being in Newberry and meeting again his old class-mates and college friends and then launched out into a character sketch of Qen. Thomas Sumter. He regarded Gen. Sumter as the greatest of all the American gen . erals, not even excepting Gen. Wash 3 ington. When it came to hard fight ) ing and daring movement Sumter could 3 always be counted upon and on account ' of his bravery and great daring he was - known as the "Game Cock." As to his early history, there was very little known, at least outside of his immedi I ate family. It would be impossible to Sgive any synopsis of his character Ssketch of Gen. Sumter without doing Vinjustice to the speak~er. He showed, Showever, a remarkable familiarity twith the life of this great revolution ary general and gave a great many 1valuable historical incidents connected therewith which you do not find in the Sprinted histories. The fact is, there are few men in this State who are as well posted in South Carolina history, both local, and general as Mr Furman, and he has the ability to tell what he knows in a pleasing and an interesting style. He alse gave a portion of his time to fthe discussion of the character of Jef tferson Davis and incidentally was very severe upon Gen. Miles and the treat -ment which he gave Mr. Davis while -in prison at Fortress Monroe. Mr. -Furman said he esteemed it a privilege Sand an honor to have been born under Sthe flag of the Stars and Birs and as a son of the Confederacy, a nation which now lived only in history, but which during the short period of its actual texistence wrote one of the brightest tpages in the world's history, and whose escutcheon is without a blemish. He -regarded Jefferson Davis as ranking iamong the greatest of American states 1men. -He also devoted a short time to 1Thomas Edison, the great inventor and showed how he had come from obscu rity into great prominence by pure perseverance and pluck. IHe closed his interesting lecture by giving what he conceived to be the ideal smarried life as contrasted with the real emarried life. Mr Furman is a bache lobr and claims the distinction of never ,having asked a woman to marry him, and never intending to do so, and yet his contrast between the ideal and the real married life was very much en joyed even by the married men and wo men who we're present. He spoke for about an hour and a half, and during that time managed to hold the atten tion and interest of his audience, and all expressed themselves as very much pleased and fully repaid for the time spent. We feel sure if Mr. Furman would return to Newberry that it would be necessary for him to engage the opera house, for every one present speaks in the very highest terms of the lecture and as very much delighted with the evening's entertain mnent and would un hesitatingly recommend him to those who did not hear him Mr. Furman is a very enthusiastic student of South Carolina and local history and we pre sume- there are very few men in this State who are better informed than he. W. T, Tarrant's Millier. *Miss Annie Roberdts, Tarrant's Milli ner, has arrived and may be found at his store on lower Main street. An elect.ion was held in Ward 1, yes terday ft - an aldermau to fill tbe va cancy caused by the~ resignation of Mr. H. K. Blats. Only one candidate had been announced, Mr. [Henry B. WVells, and he had no opposition. The vote was lighbt, there being but one candi date, and nu.t little interest was shownt We suppose that ir. Wells wvill be sworn in this morning and attend his first meeting of be council tonigh t. There were only 25 votes polled i the el>ct.io terda. Exeleior ltemx. We had a chance of rain Sunday and irm work will be stopped for a few days. The weather was file last week and a ood deal of plowing was done in this ection. Mr. J. I Wheeler and son, Claude, of olumbia, visited his brother here last veek This promises to he a good year for ruit. The Spring will be late and the rees are slow blooming Mr. D. B. Cook who has been sick for few days is able to get out again. Our )eople generally are enjoying very good Lealth. Messrs. E M. Cook, J. A. C. Kibler, t. C. Kibler and Carol Shealy spent a iew days at the Charleston exposition last veek. They report a pleasant trip )thers in this section will go down later. Leona had a good deal to say last week LS to the pension law and the soldiers iome. ,We all know there are per ons drawing a pension who don't de erve it and some who need help are Iropped from the pension roll. The pen ion law is in bad shape no doubt, but I :an't favor a soldiers home that will pull he old folks from their homes in order :o get a little help for a support. There s no place like home, and let the old olks remain at home if the pension is but little. Abram Bowers, colored, was struck by the Southern passenger train at Prosper ity Saturday afternoon as the .train was :oming in to the station. Both of his legs were broken just below the knees and a large gash cut just over the right eye and otherwise bruised up. It seems the negro was getting out of the way of a freight train on side track which caused him to step over on main line just in front of passenger train. It was purely ac cidental and nothing more. The negro lived near Kibler's bridge. His wounds were dressed by Dr. C. T. Wyche. The negro died Sunday afternoon from his injuries. Sigma.

[Written after an absence of thirty years.] I sit on the step of my cottage door, And dream of tbe home that Iloved of yore, And the waving boughs of the willow tree In the garden at home seem beckon ing to me. T be old house stands by the river side, Tbat I left long ago as a happy bride; Te wood vine turns o'er the quaint lit tle door, In fancy I cross the threshold once more. My mother sits in her accustomed .place And a smile illumines her sweet old face My father's voice is soft and mild; As he prays for me, his wondering child. A sweet young sister so frail and fair, With eyes of blue and auburn hair. A patter of feet is heard in the hall,. And our baby one enters, the best loved of all. But the vision has faded, I see them no more, I slowly arise from my cottage door; And whisper and sigh, oh why did I roam, A way from my loved ones, so far, far from home. A. The Baby of the House. Representative Lever, of South Carolina, is the youngest member of the lower house of Cougress, being but 27 years old. When he made his first call at the White House Presidenzt Roosevelt greeted him with the remark, "I am glad to meet the 'Baby of the House.' " Mr. Lever responded' "The 'Baby of the House' is honored in being greeted by the Baby President." The Pres ident enjoyed it so much that he re peated it. The Ladies' Exchange. Mrs. R. C.
