Anderson, September 11.-Sena tor A. C. Latimer-they have com menced calling him Senator Latimer now-spent yesterday in the city. He was kept busy during the day shaking hands with his friends and receiving their congratulations on the outcome of the election. The congratulations came with hearty sincerity from all classes and Mr. Latimer was naturally in a very jovial frame-of mind. He was seen by this correspondent in the afternoon and asked for an in terview on the result of the election. "Isn't it rather early for me to talk ?" he asked in reply. "I expect it would be better for me to wait until the result has been officially declared. "However there seems to be no doubt as to my election and I will say just this: Of course I am grati fied at the result of the ele'ction, and especially so under the circumstances. I went into the campaign absolutely without any organization throughout the State and.made the race solely by appealing to the people on my platform and my record. I did not go into trades or combinations and was not the candidate of any class or faction. I made a clean, straight ampaign, spent no more moigy than was absolutely necessary for legiti mate expenses and have won the ight with just as clean hands as I started with. Of course I am grati fied with the result more than I can say. "In my opinion the election means, if it means anything, the condemna tion by the people of the State of unfair and unwholesome campaign methods. It means that the people of the State will stand by a man who comes before them with a clean, clear record and uses open, fair methods in seeking office. "I want- to thank the people of Anderson County and of the old 3d district, and of the entire State, for the splendid vote they gave me and I hope I may prove worthy of their confidence. This, I believe, is all I care to say at present." To the State Fair is due the great improvement of live stock in the State, and to further the improve ment it is hoped an exhibition of im proved breeds of combination cattle will induce our people to breed for beef as well as nmilk and butter.

ELIZ,'BETH COLLEGE. A Newberrian Writes of this Noble Institu tion and the Beautiful City of Homes. Mr. Editor: After our summer out ir.g, spent amidst the lovely scenes and health-giving water of Eupeptic Sulphur Springs, North Carolina, we are resting in this beautiful city of homes, and it may interest some friends of Elizabeth College to learn of' its present prospects and appoint ments for the well being of its stu dent body. This fine institution of learning is situated out of the town proper, but reached by electric car line soon to be completed, and on a commanding emminence giving a beautiful view of Charlotte and sur rounding country: This college is complete in its appointments for the health and comfort of its student body. The bed rooms are large and furnished with oak setts, iron beds two in a room, chairs, tables, etc., and are heated by steam and car peted with art squares, bath rooms in plenty with toilet separate. The culinary department is most excellent in detail. Steel ranges line one side of the large kitchen and pipes con vey all odors from the building, coal storage and an old fashioned brick bake oven for baking breads are added to this important part of do mestic economy. The dining hall is in good taste, well lighted, furnished with China closets and sects at tables over one hundred. The laundry on first floor is well arrangad and all modern ideas fully carried out in this department. But the crowning glory of Elizabeth College is her conserva tory of music-a building especially set apart for the study of music. Here are twenty Stieff pianos, one in each studio, so each student has time and quiet for practice; also a studio for violin practice, and all that a lover of music seeks may here be found. A director of music who studied his art in the great cities of the old world, and a corps of as sistant teachers whose fame is heard utside the physical boundaries of several States. The chapel has a grand organ and two pianos, with seating capacity for a great number, and the opening day, 19th of Sep tember, will see this fine auditorium flled with girls from every section of our country, and we trust that it may be a continued success and are sure that the Lutherans of South Caro lina will never forget their obligation to sustain this college for their girls as well as they have that of Newberry College for their boys. To its coar teous president, Dr. King, we are in debted for the pleasure of driving over to view its many attractions, and we trust that untiring devotion-zeal in the welfare of this institution and that of his student body will bring to him a full measure of success in th near future as in the past. Charlotte is certainly a city of homes. Nowhere have we seen so many lovely homes, beautiful green lawns and well cultivated flower yards and magnificent trees. The grass here is so green and rich, the flowers so bright and shade so inviting that it rests the eyes and charms the senses of one accustomed to gaze on the grand Carnigie library dome and adjacent magnificent churches on Tr'on- street. The First Presbyte rian church has a membership of six hundred and covers a whole block in its territory. The Lutherans have also a handsome church, while the Methodists are justly proud of their five churches, and the fact also that Bishop Coke Smith will live, here and arragemets are now made for him. He will oeenpy a bandsome home on East Avenue, and we feel certain he will be delighted wit.h. his new home and people here. The educati&nal advantages of ChrlI te ar.' not the least of her at ractiois, but count a great deal for her l',nefit The graded schools here are imm.-nse, and( over one thou ad students i' one and se'ven or eight hundred ini another. WVhile the Preb.terian callege is so vast in its prp~otin thbat we thought it a government building. And that re minds us of the tia1ly appointed post office and, splendild daily system of delivery-maluil delivered and taken t.ct a ay and attention on thf part of officials to any request of them, which is appreciatl strangers especially.

Please allow me just a little space in your columns for a short card. As it is practically impossible for me to write a personal letter to all my friends andsupporters throughout the State, I adopt this method of thank ing them for the handsome vote and loyal support given me in my recent race for Governor. I am indeed deeply grateful to them and appre ciate my friends and supporters as much as a man possibly could. I have been defeated, but do not pro pose to be a sorehead and sulk in my tent nor complain at the result of this election. The people have spoken and I accept the situation, and I am perfectly willing to abide by the result and support, heartily, the nominees of the party from Governor down. When my success ful opponent, Captain Heyward, shall have taken his seat as Governor, I stand ready to hold up his hands in any effort he may make, or any en terprise he may undertake for the good of the pe'ple and of the State. My ardor for the welfare and best interests of old South Carolina and her people is not lessened one iota by my defeat, and I desire to say to those who saw fit to support my opponent that I do not feel in any degree unkindly towards you at all and have no criticisms whatever to make. I tried to conduct my cam paign fairly, squarely and upon a high plane. I have tried to be open, frank and honest on all questions that came before us, and having worked to this end, I have nothing to retract and nothing to.apologize for, and can't see but I would conduct it just the same if I had it to do over again. But tbere's no time to look backwards. Thbe people of the State have rendered their decision, and I bemng a loyal and true Democrat, am willing to abide thereby, and will say in conclusion, lat nis stand behind Captain Heyward and help him to be one of the best Governors South Carolina has ever had, and be as one man in our efforts to make the old Palmetto State second to none in the Union. Weekly papers will plase copy. Very truly, W. J. Talbert. Parksville, S. C., Sept. 12, 1902. Soakes to the Unoited Stat's. [Chicago News.] There are four kinds of venomous serpents in the United States-the rattle snake proper, the copperhead and the moccasin, the coral snakes and*the ground rattlesnake. The former is undoubtedly the cause of more deaths from snake poisoning than any other in the United States. This is due to its large size-it grows not infrequently to seven feet in length and three inches in diam eter-and to the great length of its fangs and the copious amount of venom it injects into wounds. Prob ably not more than 50 persons die of snake bite in the United States in any year. Perhaps 30,000 would be a fair estimate of the wqrld's an nual death rate from the bite of ye nomus snakes, notwithstanding the long and practically fruitless ef forts of science to discover an anti dote.
