T--~- ~ . FREagBV T aE Ed The Atlantic Coast Lumber Company, which has been operating for several years near Georgetown, is about to be merged with the Export Lumber Com py, and a new corporation is to be formied with increased facilities for humbering an d with the purpose ofa them in various parts of t Recently it was reported that another large lumber concern was to undertake the wholesale cutting of tim ber in the forests of this State. This is all gratifying ina way but it also warns us that we must take some steps to re'= moderation in the cutting of the frest trees of South Carolina. Scientific forestry can be made to yield steady and inexhaustible lumber sup witht impairing the value of the but few lumber companies em y scientific forestry. The General bly of the State should take some of this matter which is of ing far reaching importance. OiWestwn Post. There is no doubt that we have been t*ely too wasteful with our forests. n many places the forests are cut and brned without being put to any use #bateyer. - It is a subject as,the Post of far reaching importance andIi.peePle,should be reminded con stantly of it. In traveling on one of our xx'.aads recently we were re mind4 of the wastefulness in the mat ter of aw forests by the timber that was dm&W and left to rot.

Attorney General Gunter it is said ha offere4 the position of assistant attorney general to Mr. W. H. Town send, of Barnwell, the present code onmmissioner and Mr. Townisend will aeeept. This is a good selection. Mr. Townsend4e a young man but a close stndnnt and a hard worker and is re -cognized as one among the ablest of the jotmg members of the bar in this State. His work as code commissioner wythoroughly and carefully done and he wHi be a safe counsellor as assist ant attorney general. We are informed that Hon. Fred H. Dominick will be a candidate for Code S Cmmissioner to succeed the Hon. W. H. Townsend who has been appointed asistant attorney general. Mr. Domi nick is a young lawyer of ability and his had experience in the Legislature -and would fill the office acccptably. He has many friends in the Legislature and * shouMdbe enter the race would be a forioidable competitor for any other aspirant.___ ____ Governer Terrell, of Georgia, has just signied anorder by which he has made one hundred Georgia Colonels. They are members of his personal staff. Several members of Gov. Candler's staff holdoverd inbe par of the new staff. It is stated that at one time Gov. Stephens of Georgia had three hundred oolonels on his personal staff. Elections will be held this year for members of congress and not being a presidential election there is not a great deal of interest manifested. It is pos sible for the next House of Representa ' tives to be Democratic but hardly prob able. Let every Democratic vote remember his duty as a Democrat tode. a nd go to the polls and cast his ballot for the. -ninees of the party. The State Fair was a success so far as the crowd was concerned but the exhibits grow less each year. The at- I traction on the streets this year far excelled the attractions at the Fair grounds. This should not be. Those who manage the Fair should arouse more interest in the matter of securing exhibits. UZZENCHAL ELECTJON TODAY. The Nominees of the Democrattc PAIrty Opposition for Votgr- as lo ihts District. The general election for State and Federal .officers will be held today. For State officers there is only one ticket, that nominated by the Demo crats in the recent primary. The Democratic nominees for Con gress in a majorityof the congressional districts of the State have Republican opposition. What this opposition means is not easily to be seen. However, the movement began in all parts of the State at about the same time, and there is no doubt it has a purpose. This opposition alone, if there were no other reason, should be the cause of a full Democratic vote being polled to day. In this, the Third Congressional District, with about 16,000 Democratic votes and only about 1,500 Republican votes at most,. Hon. Wyatt Aiken, of Abbeville, the Democratic nominee, is opposed by John Scott, -Republican, of Newberry. As stated, the Democratic State ticket has no opposition. It is as fol lows: STATE TICM. For governor-D. C. Heyward, of Colleton. For lieutenant governor-Jno. T. Sloan, of Richland. For secretary of State-J. T. Gantt, of Richland. For attorney general-U. X. Gunter, Jr., of Spartanburg.

Following are the nominees of the Democratic party for county offices in Newberry: House of representatives-Arthur Kibler, E. H. -Aull, Jno. F. Bnk; judge of probate, Jno. C. Wilson; county supervisor, Jno. If. Schumpert; ~CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. The Qjuestion of .amending Section 11 of Article 7 of the State Constitution, relating to counties and county govern ment, is to be voted upon. The amend ment is for the purpose of destroying the corporate existence of certain town ships i Gireenwood, Greenville, Lau rens and Saluda. These townships some years ago issued bonds in support of a railroad which was, never built, and are now seeking to have their corporate ex istence destroyed in order to keep from paying their valid debt. Bendrax's Mill Nen. Miss Boulware will teach the Saluda school this session. Prof. L. S. Sease opened his selhool at Monticello this morning. Several of our young people attended communion serviee at Piney Woods Sunday. Rev. W. A. Lutz preached for the Mt. Pilgrim congregation on last Sun day afternoon. Tuesday is general election day, but we predict a small vote at this place. A number of our people attended the State Fair and report a nice time but a poor Fair. Married, on last Wednesday at the bride's parents by the Rev. Schaffer Miss Ola Stekman and Mr. Ira Shep pard. We wish the young couple much happiness and joy through this life. ,Messrs. J. Willie and Irwin Long are now sawing lumber on Mr. I. J. Low man's place near O'Neall's. There was prehing Sunday at Zion by the pastor, Rev. Schaffer. Mr. John S. Dominick, of near Simp son's ferry is building himself a nice; residence. We attended the State Fair and took in the sights and wo6iders. The Fair according to our judgment was very1 poor, but it was a pleasure to be in the' capital city and meet many of our old* friends from different sections of the State, and especially more so those' who had gone there from this county, viz.: Messrs. A. H. Kohn, Feagle and Gordon, of the F. M. Mf. Co. store; Mr. S. Broadus Dominick, who is at present fireman on the fast mail and Pullman sleeping train between Co lumbia and Salisbury, N. C. Also Messrs. Ernest and Jim Luther, who are merchants there. Leona. Nov. 3, 1902. A DI SASTROUs FIRE VISITS TH E 01-? OF FLORENCE.

An Address Refore the Young People and Congregatinn of Ebenexer Lutheran 4hurch in Columobia. Dr. Geo. B. Cromer on Sunday de- o livered an address before the young - people and congregation of Ebenezer I Lutheran church in Columbia. Speaking d of this address, The State of yesterday 1: says: r Dr. Cromer talked of Martin Luther, t and the address was not only a literary and historical treat, but it was calcu lated to inspire the young men of the church who are preparing to organize a themselves into a society. Ca Dr. Cromer's address was analytical as welas eulogistic. He stated that the great man must come at the oppor tune time and the time is opportune when the world demands it. Luther was a contemporary of Co lumbus and his explorations, of Gitten- f berg and his creation of the art of printing, and of the invention of gun powder, the great leveller of classes which put the humbler man on the ( same footing with the chevalier. At that time the horizon of the hu man mind was being broadened and the world was ready for the work of Lu ther. He pictured Luther the quiet but de termined monk in his work of translat ing the Testaments into German, a spending weeks on single passages in order that no one might be misled. His tranSalations are said to have estab lished the literature of the present Ger- ] man empire. Luther was order'd to Worms there to answer to the pope, the greatest ecclesiastical power in the world, and to the king of the greatest nation. He acknowledged that he wrote the works which bore his name on the title page, and declined to recant when given the opportunity. Luther was all the time a monk. His purpose wafnot to destroy, but to re form. He did not care to establish a new church, he was loyal to Catholi cism, but sought to reform and to root out evil and error. He sought to tear away the human frailties built up around the true gospel. He had up to this time believed Rome to be a holy: city, but he found it to be corrupt. It was not until he was expelled from the church of Rome thathe foreswore his. allegiance to that church. Then followed a -character delinea tioni. Dr. Cromer declared that Luther to be courageous must have' had faith, and faith ia.worth little without knowl edge. One of the uses of heroes is to furnish examples for future genera tions. We do not think of the great centres of comzriere-which have passed into history, but we remember the lives of their great men. Luther's life was one of integrity and. love of truth. Dr. Cromer declared that his heart was made glad a few months1 ago by the great outpouring of people, to do honor to the memory.of a great man. The life of Wade Hampton will < be remembered as a noble example. It 1 is said of him that Hampton in his youth learned ''to ride, to shoot and to tell the truth, Hampton always loved I the truth. "We need a truth loving~ and a truth telling people," said Dr.VI Cromer. 1 Then we come to the gentler, the more sentimental side of Luther's na-. ture. He was fond of music. It is told of him that once after having van-. quished in debate one of the proudest,i monarchs in Europe he went direct _to 1 his home to enjoy the pleasures of1 romping with his children. Dr. Cromer echoed Carlyle's state- 1 ment that Luther's work of reforma tion had been the beginning of a new era in the world. What can one man { do? What did this one monk do? This man of the people? The answer is found in the lives of the French Hugue nots, in Christiani America, in Holland, in England and in the German empire. In conclusion Dr.~ Cromer summed up the characteristics of Luther, elements of simplicity in a combination of great ness. Maruiages. Mr. John Huffman and Miss Floyd Aull, daughter of Mr. A. L.
