THE SrATE CAMPAIGN. The time is nearly here for the open ing of the State eampaign. The county eonventions will meet the first Monday in May and the State convention t12e third Wednesday in May. There will be very little for the State convention to do except to adopt a platform and arrange for the Democratic primary. The indications now point to the full est crop of candidates for State offices we have had in a good many years. The people will have plenty of material from which to make selection and there should be no trouble in selecting good men. The trouble this year is going to be that the races for the United States senate and governor will so overshadow everything else that the selection of other State officers is going to be sort of a grab-bag arrangement. And yet we believe the people will do right and no one who desires a public position should be unwilling to trust them. There are already five avowed candi dates for governor and many more possibilities. W. J. Talbert and James H. Tillman, of Edgefield; W. H Tim merman, of Lexington; M. F. Ansel, ol Greenville, and D.~ C. Heyward ol Colleton, are pronounced candidates Then there is talk that possibly Gov. McSweeney would stand for re-electior and we have heard that John C. Shep pard, of Edgefield, would also enter tht arena and there may be others. For lieutenant governor, Frank B Gary, of Abbeville; J. L Glenn, 01 Chester; Cole L. Blease, of Newberry, and S. G. Mayfield, of Bamberg, have been mentioned. This office is muel more sought after latterly. It carries no salary and is purely honorary and we suppose is looked upon as a step ping stone to something in the future From this office Eugene B. Gary weni to the Supreme bench, W. H. Timmer. man became State treasurer, M. B Mc8weeney governor and R. B Scar borough- congressman, and all since 1890. Now Mr. Tillman is going to tr3 to be governor. So in the light of tht last ten years all who have filled thit position have secured something better. For attorney general, there are R far mentioned only two avowed candi. dates-U X. Gunter, of Spartanburg and W. F. Stevenson, of Chesterfield. No opposition has yet developed t< Mr. Jennings as State treasurer. For the other State offices the candi. - dates are so numerous that we canno1 undertake to enumerate them. We hope the State campaign may be a pleasant one and free from person alty and bitterness. It sbould be e campaign of education and can be made such if the candidates will conduc1 their canvas on a high plane as the3 should. COL. B. W. BALL. Col. B. W. Ball, of Laurens, and edi tor of the Laurens~ Advertiser, died al his home in that city yesterday morn ing. We knew Col. Ball very pleas antly and always enjoyed reading the L editorial columns of the Advertiser when he was writing the editorials. He had an entertaining, incisive and forceful style that always attracted attention. His profession, however, * was gthat of a lawyer and newspaper work with him was only a pleasant pasttime. He was a lawyer of marked ability and enjoyed a large practice. His death breaks another link which binds us to the past of long ago, and is a loss not only to South Carolina jour nalism, but to his city, his county and his State. To the family we extend our sympathy. Next Tues:1ay the special train carry ...ing the students of Newberry College will leave for the Charleston Exposition. Be sides the students of the college, the train will carry .the school children * throughout the county- and all others who may want to take advantage of the especially low rates in force for this oc casion. No better time could be selected for going to the Exposition, and we hope to see a large number of Newberry people take advantage of this opportunity. The special will be run over the South ern railway, leaving Newberry at 9 a. mn., and arrives in Charleston at 3 p. m. The campaign in the third district the coming summer promises to be the most interesting and lively of any district in the State if the number of candidates counts for anything. Greenwood and Oconee, so far as we have observed, are the only counties in the district which have no avowed candidates. Newberry has two candidates, Abbeville three, An derson two and Pickens one. From Newberry it is said State Senator CGeo. S. Mower and Dr. C. T. Wyche are spoken of. From Anderson Representatives Geo. E. Prince and E. M. Rucker, Jr., are both in the race. From Abbeville are I. H. McCalla, W. N. Graydon and Wyatt Aiken. From Pickens is Dr. Smith. Al together it promises a very lively and interesting race, and Mr. Latimer's seat will by no means go begging. Newberry County, we believe, has a* candidate mentioned for United States senate, for congress, for lieutenant-gov ernor, for superintendent of education, * for secretary of state, and for adjutant and inspector general. We should now get one for governor and state treasurer and comptroller-general. Or we should hold a meeting of the prospective candi dates ar.d thin ont to a stand. Our coun ty can't expect to get the earth and have a fence out around too. The bids for letting the contract for sewerage will be opened today. As soon as the commissioners have time to con sider these bids the contract will be awarded. We hope to see work com menced very soon. The bonds have al ready been sold and the interest is going on. We had just as well have the sewer system put in as soon as possible. The Lee County Vindicator, H. S. Cunningham, editor, has made its appear ance at this office. It is a neatly printed and newsy paper, and if kept up to its first issue will certainly deserve to suc ceed. We welcome the new paper to our exchange list. The Graded School and the college will give a week holiday in order to give the pupils an opportunity to visit the Expo sition. The rate is very low; special ar rangements for lodging in Charleston have been made, and this offers an op portunity which should be taken advan tage of by every pupil who can possibly do so. It will well repay the time and the outlay. The Southern will run a Newberry special, leaving Newberry at S a m. We hope many of the teachers and pupils of the country schoals will joir the Newberry paity. It looks as if every county in the State, almost, is wanting a special tern of court. And we suppose properly, il the calendars are congested at othei places as they are here. It would hav( been a great deal more satisfactory ani less expensive to have about two nev circuits. Population is increasing ani with this increase comes increase o: business for the courts. There should be at least two new judicial circuitA created in the State. It should havE been done some time ago. Two Good Women. We give below death notices from tht Lutheran Visitor of two good women both of whom were natives of New berry County. One of them, Mrs. Kohn spent the greater part of her life in.thii county, moving to Columbia only a fev years ago where son, Mr. A. H. Kohn engaged in business in that city. ThE other, Mrs. Haltiwanger, was a daugh ter of Mr. Geo. A. Counts, of this coun ty but had lived the greater part of hei married life in Lexington County. Wf feel that their many friends and rela tives in this county will be pleased t< see these notices and hence we givi them space here: MRS. MARTHA ELIZABETH KOHN. Mrs. Mar. 1a Elizabeth Kohn, nei Feagle, was born in Newberry County S. C., March 24, 1836, and was taken t< her heavenly home February 25, 1902 at the age of 65 years, 11 months and: day. She was confirmed into the St Paul's Lutheran Church, Newberra County, by Rev. J. B. Anthony, abou 1848. For many years she was a de voted member of Grace Church, Pros perity, and at the time of her deati was a beloved member of St. Paul's Columbia. In 1853 she was married t< Mr. Hamilton Kohn, who died in 1861 from effects of wounds received in thE civil war. Mrs. Kohn was a most de voted mother and grand motber, a kind sympathetic neighbor and an example as a Christian. Of her it can be trulj said that she followed in the steps o; her Saviour, "who went about doing good." She was always ready to hell the needy, to minister to the suffering and to encourage the disappointed and distressed. She loved her church anc has given to it two eminently useful sons, Rev. E. H. Kohn, pastor o: Emanual Lutheran Church at Newi Market, Virginia, and Mr. A. H. Kohn, treasurer of the South Carolina Synod. There are many friends who weep with those who weep and extend their sym. pat hies to the bereaved, but as many as knew Mrs. Kohn rejoice in the assur ance of her readiness for the great change, though it came suddenly and unexpectedly. She died as she lived, a Christian, with the full assurance of eternal life with her Saviour and the dear ones who had gone before. Her body was laid to rest in the cemetery at Prosperity, the funeral services be ing conducted at Grace Church b: h er pastor. MRS. EUJGENIA FRANCES HALTI WAN GER. Mrs. Eugenia Frances Haltiwanger, nee Counts, was born in Newberry County, S C., September, 1843, and died at her home in Columbia February 28, 1902, at the age of 59 years. In 1864 she was married to Mr. Isaiah Haltiwanger, who preceded her to the other world just a little more than a year ago. Mrs. Haltiwanger was a life long Lutheran, hap ized in infancy and confirmed at au early age. She was loyal and faithful to her church and has given the best evidence of her Christian character and spiritual strength by the way she trained her large family of children. She was the mother of t welve children, ten of whom (eight daughters and two sons) are living. It was to her home, and through it to the world, that Mrs. Haltiwanger gave her chief service. Having lived as a Christian she was prepared for the ed though it came after a very brief illness. In her last hours she was un able to speak with her dear ones, but from her life the comforting assurance that she had gone home was left to them. After moving to Columbia she identified herself with St Paul's con gregation, though she left her member ship at St. Andrew's, Lexington Coun ty, at which place she was buried. As the pastor of St. Andrew's could not b3 present on account of illness, the funeral services were conducted by the writer. She leaves a truly Christian example as a legacy to her children, I and Gord will comfort them. NEWBERRY AT EXPOSITION, WHATISTO BESEEN INTHK WOViAN'4 BUILDING. Newberry's Exhibit In Vttrt.d and Ab;ove the Average. The following account of the exhibit of Newberry, by the ladies, is taken from the Charleston Bureau depart ment of The State, of the 1"th instant: Newberry's exhibit is varied, and yet is above the average in quality. The distinctive feature is the number of wedding dresses. First of all is one made by Mrs James Gauntt before her marriage. She was four years in mak ing it. The dress is a beautiful filmy kind of material. Mrs. Thomas Grene ker's wedding dress was of homespun, but she planted and picked the cotton, wove and fashioned the cloth-during war times Newberry also shows a lot of this 'bronze lustre' crockeryware which is made so much over. Mrs. A. G. Wise, of Prosperity, shows a sugar dish of this mte-ial, and Mrs. L. W Jones has a mustard pot and Mrs. M Lindsay a water pitcher. S >me old dishes of the Gaillard family are displayed. There is a pewter platter for beef roast and two pieces of blue delf. The platter is two hundred years old. The delf is dated 1685. An old English gilded tea pot shown by Mrs. James McIntosh is very dainty. The arrangement of china is unique, there being bits of old Irish in green, old English in blue, old German and late German and Ameri can. Of the latter Miss Douschka Mar tin has a display of very fine work. - Mrs. 1 jert H. Aull exhibits a very old bit of tapestry flowers of ribbon worked into baskets of silk ribbon. A hat crocheted by Mrs. W. L. Werber during the civil war shows how the no ble women made the best of circum stances. Mrs. N. B. Mazyck two very old as well as antique articles of toilet which are not matched in the building. One is an individual table set, knife, fork and spoon of French silver, in the original pocket case, brought to Amer ica from Lhe Isle of Rhe in 1660. The initials of the owner, Pauline La Tour, are carved on the handle. The other is a lady's lunch companion, made Feb. 16, 1769. It is of silver and the size of a match safe, containing knife blades, etc., which screw into dainty little handles. Several quaint little suits of clothes are shown. One of them is 50 years old and was sent down by Mrs. Scott of Little Mountain. This is also a little dress worn by Mr. Samuel Spence over 70 years ago, and by its side his wed ding boots. But the quaintest of all is the little suit worn by Col. John Adam Summer when he was four years old. The long trousers were buttoned around the ankle, and this child was further arrayed in a waistcoat and a "jim swinger." This suit is owned by Col. T. W. Holloway of Pomaria. Other curios are a Chinese fan used in New York society in Knick erbocker days, an immense tortoise shell comb fully four inches tall, contributed by Mrs. Renwick; a silver mouthpiece for a bottle; and a pistol with a bayonet captured from an Indian squaw by Col. Asbury Tennent on the site of the city of Atlanta. A lace shawl by Mrs. Holbrook, a knitted shawl by Mrs. R. P. Holland and battenburg by Miss Sallie Brown are very pretty. In a conspicuous place is an "extra" of the Charleston Daily Mercury, Dec. 20, 1860, declaring "The Union is Dis solved." This is more like a railroad excursion handbill than a newspaper, and the item of news thus narrated is copied into the note book of nearly every Northern visitor. The Newberry exhibit was arranged by Mrs. C. A. Bowman, Mrs. E. 0 Johnson and Miss Nathalie Mazyck. Miss Nathalie Mazyck of Columbia is always delighted to show visitors around the Newberry, Anderson, Edge field, Orangeburg, Sumter, Berkeley and Spartanburg rooms.
